Three pairs of eyes were already staring at Andhira while glazed over. Yes, they are his three best friends, Rere, Fahri, and Maya. Andhira who had not met them for a long time immediately embraced them one by one, except Fahri because he was a man.
"Rere, Maya, Fahri, this is like a dream to me. I miss you guys so much. Who told you to come here?" andhira asked with a smile in the cry of her day.
"Mbak Nindi, Dhira," they answered in unison.
"Your husband shared this idea with Mbak, Dhira." Suddenly Nindi came along.
"Mas Daffa ..," said Andhira as she turned to the man who had just stood there.
Daffa smiled as he looked down as if embarrassed. Perhaps, because Daffa had been forbidding Andhira from going to gather with his friends. But believe me, all that Daffa did was solely because of the magnitude of his love and jealousy for his wife.
"Thank you, Mom" Andhira said, embracing Daffa.
Daffa returned Andhira's embrace with gentleness. "Together, dear," answered Daffa, then kissed Andhira's head.
"Duuuh, so want to get married quickly," said Rere who was greeted by laughter by everyone.
Not long after that, someone else came. They gave their greetings before entering and joining Andhira, as well as everyone. Right, it was Ummi and Abah, Andhira's in-laws.
"Andhira, how are you doing, son?" abah asked as Andhira shook his hand.
"Dhira is very kind, Bah." Andhira smiled, then changed to hug Ummi.
"May you always be happy, son," said Ummi.
"Thank you, Mi. May Ummi be like that, too" Andhira replied.
Salamah could only shed tears when I hurt all that. He was happy to see Daffa's earnestness in trying to make amends. Salamah's heart has been relieved to receive all this.
"Let's go straight to the dining table. We have prepared his alakadar banquet," Lontar Nindi invited everyone. They rushed to the dining table.
However, before continuing to eat the dishes available, Daffa asked for time and attention from them. "Here, we want to deliver news that is both good news and happy for us. Because only then was Mbak Nindi told, and hopefully not leaked yet," said Daffa with a little joke. He spoke while holding Andhira's hand.
Daffa smiled and paused his sentence for a moment. It makes them more curious. What's the news exactly? That's how they think.
"Andhira my wife is pregnant with the fruit of our first love. And we want to share this happy news with you" continued Daffa. Greeted smiles and thanksgiving, and tears from everyone.
"Mother Salamah, so soon we will be Grandma" said Ummi sumringah.
"Alhamdulillah, Ummi," said Salamah, wiping the tears that had come out to moisten her cheeks.
Congratulations also came no exception from his three best friends. After that, they continued to eat dishes that were already available. You can imagine how happy Andhira was at that time. Where he sits together at one table with all his loved ones. Yes, although not complete because Adi, her husband Nindi, and also Farid can not be present there.
The warmth continued to flow during their time together. Until the meal together was over and now they chatted happily here and there. Then, Daffa approached Abah and Ummi who seemed engrossed in listening to the chatter of young people.
"Well, Mi, why didn't Farid come? Is he still angry and resentful of Daffa?" ask Daffa lirih.
"No, Son. Don't think so. He has been inspired and now ...your sister decided to go to a boarding school" replied Abah.
"Yes, Daffa boy. Farid regretted his actions. He also had time to tell Ummi to visit you to apologize, but he was embarrassed," said Ummi.
Daffa's eyes seemed to condense hearing all of that. Unexpectedly his good intention to make peace and forgive Farid, greeted with beautiful news that gave coolness to the heart that had been exposed to the fire of revenge. Now, Daffa has steadily chosen to stop hating and start loving again. Just like what Andhira did to her. Apparently, his wife had taught Daffa many valuable lessons.
***
Daffa and Andhira arrived at their home. After the meeting and togetherness with his loved ones ended, both of them decided to go straight home. Same with the others, leaving Salamah alone in the house.
However, there are those who hold their footsteps when they want to enter the house, namely the presence of someone. A woman who is none other than Shella. Andhira and Daffa looked at each other questioningly.
"There's something I want to tell you," Shella poked without saying anything.
