Daniel's car stopped right in front of the capital's hotel lobby. He immediately came out of his office after Mr. Sanjaya gave him a message that he was at the hotel.
Daniel went straight to the elevator and pressed the button where he was headed.
Daniel took a deep breath and threw it away many times. I don't know why he got nervous.
Daniel's at room 501. The place his father-in-law had set. Yep!! Daniel couldn't avoid one of those things. They are now a family, though not entirely clear.
Daniel knocked on the door of the hotel room several times.
THE CZECH!
"Good afternoon" Daniel saw Melani's mother in front of him after the door opened.
Instead of answering Daniel's greeting, Melani's mother's bead looked around Daniel expectantly.
"Are you alone?" Mother Melani asked after the figure she was looking for did not find her.
"Yes" Daniel answered briefly.
"I'm sorry.please go in" Mother Melani opened the door wide and let Daniel in.
"Welcome, Daniel" said Mr. Sanjaya when the two met.
"Good afternoon sir" Daniel greeted his father-in-law.
An awkward and silent atmosphere encompassed them.
"I'm sorry.must ask you to come here" said Mr. Sanjaya breaking the silence.
Daniel smiled stiffly. What an atmosphere beyond his shadow. Because they met not to talk about business as usual.
Daniel sits opposite Sanjaya and his wife. Daniel looked at Melani's mother's sad face. There was compassion for Daniel. But he must not be weak until he hears what Mr. Sanjaya and Ms. Melani will say.
"The necklace your wife used...." Melani's mother's crying voice broke instantly.
Mr. Sanjaya immediately hugged his wife trying to calm his wife.
"I'll listen to you" Daniel also tried to calm down his emotions. He knows, this is also not easy for Melani's mother and Mr. Sanjaya.
So with a calm voice Daniel was very ready to listen to the story of Mr. Sanjaya and his wife. Daniel thought that if their past was not easy to let the newborn baby be given to others.
Melani's mother seems calm when telling about her past. Sometimes he wiped away the tears that ran down his cheeks. Mr. Sanjaya also looks sad and sorry, seen from his face and body movements.
"A_I was forced to leave her and never even met her for 24 years. I'm guilty.I don't deserve my daughter's forgiveness" Melani's mother sobbed.
"No. All this is because of my faults and selfishness. I was a stupid man and also arrogant" Mr. Sanjaya looked emotional.
The two embraced each other and calmed down. Daniel looked at them with sympathy.
"After our accidental meeting with Nurul's midwife 4 months ago, I immediately searched for the whereabouts of Medina's biological parents armed with the necklace. But I didn't expect that you guys were..." Daniel's words were cut off.
"I will try to tell Medina the truth. But I beg you not to rush. Give us some time....." Continue Daniel.
Mr. Sanjaya and Ms. Melani looked surprised by Daniel's words. They thought her daughter-in-law would soon meet them with her daughter.
"But I want to meet her.I beg you" Lirih Ibu Melani.
Seeing Mother Melani who looks sad, makes Daniel's heart not bear.
Daniel glanced at his watch, time still showing at half-six in the afternoon. "There's still time". Daniel said in his heart.
"I'll call him. You can prepare dinner together" Daniel passed out of the hotel room to contact his wife.
Mr. Sanjaya and Ms. Melani smiled happily, she hoped Medina could come even though she did not know the truth.
"Assynthet, Honey"
"Honey. wa'alaikum salam" Sahut Medina across the phone.
"What are you doing?" Ask Daniel.
"I'm with Syifa. What's up?"
"Honey.. My business partners invited me to dinner together at the XXX hotel and, beyond my expectations, they also wanted you to attend dinner" Daniel hoped Medina would come, because he knew that his wife was a little difficult to leave if not for family events.
"Honey..if you don't want to come it's okay" Daniel said.
"Emmm.well I'll pray and get ready"
Daniel smiled with relief that his wife had agreed to his request.
"Ah yes.bring casual clothes for both of us" Pinta Daniel made Medina frown.
"For what?" Medina asked confusedly.
"We're going to continue the honeymoon one night at the hotel" Daniel replied chuckling.
"Darling..." Medina considered her husband's request far-fetched.
"Jaka will take you, so be prepared" Daniel said before closing his phone.
After calling his wife Daniel returned to Mr. Sanjaya's room and told her that Medina would come for dinner.
Of course this news makes Mr. Sanjaya and Ms. Melani very happy. Mr. Sanjaya immediately ordered his assistant to prepare a special dinner for four people. And Melani's mother asked Mr. Sanjaya to also prepare a gift for Medina.
Mr. Sanjaya also prepared a special room for Daniel to rest while waiting for Medina to come and dinner to arrive.
Meanwhile, at home, Medina began to prepare the needs that her husband asked for and put them in a paper bag even though she was a little hesitant.
After the Maghrib prayer, Medina began to get ready. Medina, who did not want to disappoint her husband in front of her business partner, asked her sister-in-law to help her choose the clothes she would wear.
By wearing a gray robe and hijab like Medina looks beautiful.
"You always look beautiful" Praised the brother-in-law Rani after seeing the appearance of her sister-in-law.
"Thank you very much, brother. Brother too" Sahut Medina chimed in.
"Mama Niel is very beautiful" said Syifa who sat on the bed.
"Oh my gosh, this little girl made her Niel mama even more anxious" Medina menguyel Syifa's face with anxiety.
"I told you I was going to dinner, but you didn't go home" Medina, who still missed her mother-in-law, looked disappointed when Mama Safira planned to stay at Aunt Latifah's house.
"Tante Latifah won't let go of mama if they're together" Rani laughed widely.
Medina also hugged her sister-in-law affectionately.
"Thank you brother, I'll go first" The two of them slit their cheeks.
"Dah dear" Medina also kissed Syifa's cheek.
"Be careful" Shouted Rani from the room.
Mang Jaka who was waiting for Medina, immediately opened the door when his mistress' wife was seen in front of the house.
The car then drove at a moderate speed leaving the yard.
Throughout the trip Medina felt a little nervous because this was the first time she was asked to attend a dinner of her husband's business partner.
"Mang Jaka, is my appearance not excessive?" Medina asked with a worried face.
"An amazingly beautiful girl" Praised Mang Jaka by giving her thumbs up into the air.
"That's not what Medina means....Medina was afraid of disappointing Daniel's brother in front of her business partner" Medina looked down uneasily.
"What does a wife usually do with her husband's business partner's dinner?" Ask Medina. He was a little sorry for forgetting to ask his sister-in-law.
"Just give a friendly smile and answer the question briefly" Mang Jaka gave a suggestion.
Medina smiled beautifully, "Thank you, mang".
The car driven by mang Jaka finally reached the front in the hotel lobby. Daniel, who had been waiting for his wife, approached Medina who had not been seen getting out of the car.
"Honey" Medina saw her husband approaching. Then he rushed down from the car.
Daniel looked at his wife with a gentle and loving look. He missed his wife who he hadn't seen all day.
"Honey, I miss you" Daniel kisses the forehead and hugs Medina tightly.
Medina did not refuse because she also missed her husband very much. "Me too" Medina said softly.
"You brought what I asked for?" Daniel saw his wife not carrying a paperbag.
"I'm not sure I'm confused, but I have prepared, there is a car" replied Medina slowly.
"Good..." Daniel again kissed Medina's cheek making the girl glare at her husband.
The two then walked to the restaurant that was prepared by Mr. Sanjaya. Both husbands were seen waiting at the dinner table.
"Sorry we're late" Daniel said after they got to the table.
Mr. Sanjaya and Melani's mother stared intensely at Medina. Both of them refrain from overdoing it.
"He really looked like Melani when he was young" Mr. Sanjaya said in his heart.
"How are you, Medina?" Melani's mother hugged Medina. Even Medina could feel Melani's mother's embrace feeling very tight and warmer.
"Me_Medina good Mom. Mom and dad, how are you?" Medina returned Melani's embrace and ventured to look at Mr. Sanjaya.
"I'm sorry...Medina didn't bring anything for you. Because of this sudden invitation" Medina looked at her husband.
"It's okay, son. It was our fault that we had invited suddenly. But thank you for coming" Mr. Sanjaya reflexively stroked Medina's head without her noticing.
"Let's sit down and enjoy a family dinner" Daniel said, pulling a chair for Medina.
"family?" Medina looked up at her husband's face.
"I see you're very nervous, Honey. Suppose we were having a family dinner to be more intimate and relaxed" Daniel kissed Medina's head covered in hijab making Medina flutter in shame.
"You mind Mr Sanjaya?" Daniel smiled looking at Mr. Sanjaya and Melani's mother alternately.
"Just talent no, we are lucky to be part of your family. Isn't she my wife?" Mr. Sanjaya stroked the shoulder of his wife who continued to look at Medina with guilt.
"I almost forgot the gift" Mother Melani began to wake up from her daydream and took a bouquet of flowers and two paperbags from the other table.
"This is for you" Medina got up from her seat and received a gift from Mother Melani.
"Forku?" Medina looked at Melani's mother and then looked at her husband for permission.
"Thank you" Medina said after getting her husband's permission through the blink of an eye.
The atmosphere calmed down again as they began to eat the dishes that had been served on the table.
Mr. Sanjaya and Ms. Melani look very happy, seen from their sparkling faces.
Daniel smiled meaningfully making Medina frown confused by her husband's behavior.
As their eyes met, Medina gestured with her chin raised and Daniel's head slid back.
After dinner, the four had a warm conversation. Daniel seemed to give an opportunity for Mr. Sanjaya and Ms. Melani to feel their togetherness with Medina.
And when they were about to part because the night was almost late, Mother Melani seemed reluctant to release her hand on Medina.
"You're going home?" Ask Melani's mother who hopes she can still be with her daughter.
"We will stay here last night" replied Daniel, making the face of Melani's mother who was originally sad now changed with a smile that almost resembles Medina's smile.
"They're really similar" Daniel only dared to speak inwardly.
"Have you booked a special room?" Mr. Sanjaya did not want to lose the moment.
"We will sleep in an existing room" replied Daniel.
"Why not take a suite room?" Mr. Sanjaya who was about to pull out his phone was arrested by Daniel.
"Not necessary, sir. For us, the place is not a problem. The most important moment that is created must be memorable, right?" Daniel smiled handsomely making everyone laugh wide.
"Alright.welcome to rest. See you tomorrow morning" Mr. Sanjaya greeted and hugged Daniel.
"Thank you for the opportunity" whispered Mr. Sanjaya. He knew why Daniel had taken his wife to stay.
"Good night" Medina said before parting ways.
"Good night" replied Mr. Sanjaya and Ms. Melani together.
Melani's mother looked at her daughter's back with a haru feeling. Although it was just the beginning, but he was very grateful, he could be with his daughter.
"Thank you" Ms. Melani looked into Mr. Sanjaya's eyes and then her tears broke.
"He looks a lot like you" muttered Mr. Sanjaya.
"I will ask our lawyers to immediately take care of the distribution of our assets to Medina" continued Mr. Sanjaya.
"What about your family, ma'am? They don't know about Medina. Your sisters must have asked for an explanation and they might have rejected my daughter" Melani's mother was worried about her husband's decision.
"For 30 years I've listened to them. And this is the price I have to pay. Right now and then, those who must listen to me" said Mr. Sanjaya full of confidence. His sight seemed empty given the past..
Melani's mother cried again to hear her husband's words. She didn't expect her husband would really change.
"Thank you, mas" Lirih Melani's mother in her husband's arms.
