"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi..." Zahrana said trying to resist the trembling that shook her body.
"Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh..." His greeting was simultaneously greeted by the attendants who came.
"Thank you to all the friends who came here. I as the author of the novel 'Not Wrong Breastfeeding Mother', Zahrana Habibah Marwan, was very moved to meet all my friends. Honestly, without all my friends, I as a writer would be nothing.
Alhamdulillahot... Many thanks I say to the Almighty, because Allah has realized my dream of becoming a best seller author this year.
Then, the greatest gratitude I give to..."
Arya Irawan smiled in her position, while Ajis only put a flat face full of resignation in his position as well.
"...My beloved husband, Brother Muhammad Ajiz Andika." Zahrana continued, throwing a smile at her husband.
Inverted position, Arya's face turned sour. Somehow he felt jealous hearing Zahrana's words. Festive applause rang out throughout the room Their gaze was fixed on the figure of Ajis, an ordinary man embraced by their idol. Arya's heart was getting hotter by him.
"Abang Ajiz was such an understanding man, a wise husband, that he gave me permission to be a writer, and of course with a good purpose.
And for my family at home too. Those who support me and pray for me always. Thank you, Mom, and my mother-in-law's father...
Most special, thanks to the idol of all of us in this country, Arya Irawan..."
Applause mixed with cheers of the audience filled the entire room, some even cheered Arya's name without shame.
Arya smiled welcomingly at that, but Who knows at the bottom of her heart, she wasn't so happy. Greed filled his heart for a moment. The feeling that had been hidden, was now growing bigger.
Ever since his eyes first met Zahrana's eyes, he began to forget his world. All he saw was Zahrana.
After the event, PH invited Zahrana to his office. Incidentally, PH officials are close relatives of Arya Irawan himself. Arya begins to plan something to fulfill her selfish desires. She wants to take Zahrana from her husband. But slowly and patiently. Because Arya knows, Zahrana is not the same woman as most women she knows, only expecting wealth, fame and material.
After talking with the producer, Zahrana's novel will soon be made into a feature film on the big screen. Zahrana was so happy to hear that. What he dreamed so far, was achieved easily thanks to his patience and sincerity in facing all kinds of tests from the Almighty.
Arya doesn't stop stealing glances at Zahrana's face. He thought, just that time he knew a different woman. But her heart ached every time she saw Zahrana's hand holding her husband's hand.
As for chatting, Zahrana got an offer to take part in the casting in the role of the female lead. Unfortunately, Zahrana refused quickly.
There was a sense of relief in Ajis' heart when he heard his wife's rejection. Her trust was getting stronger towards Zahrana, moreover Zahrana had no intention of taking off her hand in front of the people.
Arya. In his heart, he was so disappointed at Zahrana's refusal to play Habibah in the film Not Wrong Breastfeeding Mother that will be done in the near future. Because of the male character in the novel, he himself will play it. But Arya remained relaxed and tried hard to hide the disappointment in her heart at that moment.
However, Arya is not desperate. He still had the chance to meet Zahrana often. He investigates, codes for Zahrana to be involved in writing the screenplay later, and also takes responsibility by watching the filming that will be done in the film of his novel later.
After Ajis's approval, Zahrana was no longer able to refuse him.
Arya happy. His way succeeded in making him will meet more often with Zahrana later.
"Thank you so much, you've helped me get to this point..." Zahrana said to Arya when they were ready to go home.
"Everything... Loe has also helped me a lot with religion..." Aryan Sahut. Although he greeted with a smile, but his heart was so arrogant to see the hand of Zahrana who never let go of the hand of Ajis.
"Thanks yes, Bang... Loe is really a husband who is so caring and considerate as a dream... Really, I'm jealous of you, Bang. Because you are God-given as a perfect wife as he is..." Arya said so sharply while pointing towards Zahrana.
Ajis greeted Arya with a slight smile and a small nod. Suspicion grew in his mind. Yeah, because he's so scared of losing his wife. Moreover, the way Arya's eyes were so fixed on his wife, he could see.
"In that case, we say yes first..." Zahrana. "Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."
"Wa'alaikumussalam..."
