Rani and her baby boy have returned home after three days of hospitalization. The atmosphere of the house is now crowded because all the families gather there. Including Rani's family who came from out of town.
"How many months pregnant?" Almost all the families who met Medina must have asked about it. Medina kindly replied and mixed with them. Most of them also pray for Medina pregnancy to be facilitated and launched during labor later. Medina continued to accept every prayer spoken by everyone.
Mama Safira could not hide her happiness. All the big families gathered. Even her younger sister, Aunt Tika and her family also came. Their happiness is many times over.
Everyone makes their own group as if someone is organizing. Men and women form groups according to age. They seem to be chatting.
Rhenata approached Medina who was sitting chatting with Rani, Karin and the other young women.
"Hello everything." Sapa Rhenata who just came with her husband.
"Hello.the new bride." Welcome Rani directly hugged her husband's cousin.
"Congratulations, Brother." Rhenata told Rani.
"Thank you, I hope you catch up." Whisper Rani and instantly make the newlyweds laugh.
"Hi baby boy.you're so handsome." Praise Rhenata when she sees the baby Rani carries.
"Telimakacih aunty." Rani replies to the voice of a child representing her child.
"Hello.lama did not meet. How's it going? How old are you?" This time Rhenata greeted Medina. He could not even rub Medina's distended stomach.
"Alhamdulillah I am good. God willing it's been eight months, brother." Medina answered with a smile.
"Well, soon to be launching Daniel Junior." Rhenata jokes make everyone laugh.
"What about you? Are there any signs?" Ask someone from them.
"Yet. We're still enjoying our time together." Rhenata answered one of her family's questions.
"You're right. Don't be like me at the beginning of marriage, get pregnant and have children. So immediately busy with the affairs of the child. Sometimes you have to steal time when you're with your husband." Another complaint made everyone laugh.
"When will you get married?" Rani stared one by one the women who still did not have a partner. Including Karin's secretary Daniel.
"My boyfriend hasn't dared to come see my parents yet."
"I have no serious commitment to marriage. So it's still relaxing."
"I don't worry about relationships. Just go ahead."
That's about the answers of the single girls there. Making the atmosphere warmer because Rani always has an answer from the complaints of her brothers.
"Ah.you're lucky. As for me, until this moment no one asked me out." Karin's great-grandson with her sad face. Making some girls there surprised and immediately made fun of Karin with various jokes.
"You need to be more aggressive." The word Rhenata made Karin shake her head.
"Sooh is in God's hands. But it must be sought and pursued. Aye right?" Rani Imbuh.
"really so. You are beautiful, smart and have a good position. Where there may not be a man who is fascinated with you." Karin just smiled at the comments of the women there.
Medina did not comment. He just sat down and smiled following the women's chatter. Until Rhenata saw Daniel approaching them with a handsome smile.
"Excuse me. Can I talk to my wife?" Daniel kissed the head of the hijab-covered Medina. Medina was surprised by her husband. And of course, all eyes were envious of Daniel's affection for his wife.
"Uwww..you are so romantic."
"What's wrong?" Ask Medina slowly.
"none..I just miss my wife." His whisper made Medina's cheeks blush.
"Go get your wife to her room and lock her up." Banish Rani in a joking tone and everyone laughed.
"alright. Come.sir princess." Daniel took Medina's hand.
"Sorry everyone.I'll excuse you first." Medina follows Daniel who walks into Danu's house.
"Darling...what's up? You need anything?" Medina asked as they were already away.
"Someone wants to meet." Daniel answered, his wife's heartbeat quickened.
"Darling.you scared me." Daniel smiled but ignored his wife's words. He continues to bring Medina to the quiet-looking Danu's house as everyone gathers in the mansion.
Upon entering Danu's house, Medina was shocked to see Gio, Aunt Latifah and her husband sitting in rows there. Medina's brain still could not think, the purpose and purpose of her husband invited himself to the middle of the Gio family.
"Darling..." Medina tightened her finger link as Daniel led her to sit on the sofa in front of them.
"Sit down first. I'll explain later." Daniel rubbed his nervous wife's back.
Medina looked at each person there. And the smiles all made Medina even more nervous and confused.
"Aunty..What is this?" Medina dared herself to look at and ask the middle-aged woman who was sitting between the two men of different ages.
"Dear. It's okay___only regular chat." Aunt Latifah noticed the tense look on Medina's face.
"Sister Gio, how are you?" Medina's bead turned to the figure of a young and handsome man beside Aunt Latifah. After the incident at the apartment the other day Medina never again meets Gio. And no doubt, the problems that occur between husband and cousin slightly disturb his mind.
"I_I'm fine." Gio stammered in answering his cousin's wife's question.
"Sister..." Daniel looked up as his wife's voice called out.
"Look dear__emmhhh sorry if it makes you have to be involved in this matter." Aunt Latifah took a deep breath and took it out violently.
"But...Will you hide what you know about Gio and Farah from everyone?" Aunty Latifah's bead stared straight at Medina.
"Huh?"
"We've made a decision, we'll apply for Farah to Gio." Aunt Latifah's face looks unhappy. He realizes that there are many questions that come to them about the marriage of Gio and Farah who incidentally is the former fiancee of his own cousin, Daniel.
"Auntie....Sorry earlier. But really Medina never thought negatively about this problem. Medina will close the matter. Apart from being Kak Gio's cousin to Daniel, also__" Medina paused and glanced at her husband.
"Because now__Kak Farah is Medina's cousin." Medina continued to make the three of them round the manic in surprise.
"What?" All three surprised.
"Yes, Farah's mother turned out to be her father's younger sister Medina. We also haven't long known this truth." Daniel chimed in.
"Oh My God." Gio covered his face with both hands.
The truth about Medina Sanjaya's daughter is that only Daniel's family knows about it. Quickly, Daniel is so emotional when he knows the truth of himself and Farah, Gio said.
"You close cousins like Daniel and my son?" Aunty Latifah asked reassuringly what she had just heard and Daniel nodded. Making Aunt Latifah drop her body limp on the back of the sofa.
"Bro, sorry about what happened that night. But I act like I have a reason."
"After learning that Medina is the daughter of Sanjaya's father, Farah's family continues to harass Medina. Even__they hired paid people to hurt Medina." Daniel's reddened bead held back the emotion of remembering how Farah's family hated Medina so much.
"Wait on!! You mean....Medina Sanjaya's daughter? Sanjaya__" Papi Gio looked at Daniel.
"Sanjaya Group's. Sanjaya Hadiyoningrat." Firm Daniel.
"Oh God!! Med_your?" Aunt Latifah shut her mouth.
"What kind of truth is this, God." Papi Gio stared fixedly at Medina. He did not expect that the woman before him was the biological daughter of a famous businessman in Indonesia and of course his business partner so far.
Suddenly the atmosphere there became quiet. Everyone was silent with their own line of thought.
"When Daniel tried to rise from his fall, I was so happy. Seeing the happiness of Safira when Medina is present in your life is a miracle I have always hoped for. But.why is my son___" Aunty Latifah's bead glazed.
"Om, Auntie., Medina please do not judge Brother Gio and Brother Farah. After all..kak Gio did like that because__"
"I love her. Dan__we were drunk at that." Cut Gio quickly while staring at Medina. He did not want until everyone knew the main reason for Gio to have to let his body become a shield for the integrity of the household of Daniel and Medina. Everyone will hate Farah.
"Sister...." Medina looked at Gio who was also looking at her. Gio shook his head faintly giving the code so that Medina would not tell the other truth. Gio turned to look at Daniel as if asking to stop his wife.
"What??" Both of Gio's parents were shocked by their eldest son's confession.
"You said__love her?" Papi Gio poked at the base of his nose. His head suddenly dizzy.
"I_yes, Pi." Gio answered. This time he did not lie. She does love Farah with all her circumstances.
"Love? Where's the love, Gio?! Even that girl went far away somewhere after leaving your cousin!" Hardik Papi Gio is upset. Didn't think her son had feelings for her period that he never even had with her.
"Pi, I mean__I__love her since that night." Gio's lie made Daniel and Medina look at each other. Not out of thought with the answer that Gio gave to his parents. But again, they both could not speak the truth.
"Even, enough!! Simply__don't continue again." Aunt Latifah looked shocked. Initially their goal of gathering his children and nephews to hide the relationship of Gio and Farah from everyone, even Aunt Safira even get another reality if her eldest son loves the girl of his cousin's former fiance.
"Aunty..." Daniel approached his aunt and hugged her.
"I'll talk to the girl's family." Papi Gio said firmly. The decision had already been made, Gio could no longer refute.
****
Medina stared at the night sky from the back porch of her house. The house he had long abandoned. After everyone broke away from Safira's mother's house, Medina also asked for permission to go home. Because he did not want mama Safira to see his gloomy face and surely his mother-in-law would have scratched the reason for his own face. And Medina couldn't lie in front of Mama Safira. So Medina decided to take her husband home with the excuse of leaving home for so long.
"Honey...." The burly arms were perfectly circular on a tiny body with a bulging belly.
"What are you thinking?" Whisper Daniel after kissing the top of his wife's head with a friendly. Swab Medina's stomach which immediately gets a response from the baby.
"I feel sorry for Brother Gio and Brother Farah." Lirih Medina's.
"Pity? With Farah?" Daniel's chuckles.
"You forgot what they did to you?"
"Darling.however he is now my brother. Want you to hate him, he's still my cousin. Fate would not change that just because of his past. Blood will remain thick than water." Medina removed Daniel's hands from his stomach. She turned to face her husband.
"Honey.I regret Gio having to live with a girl like her. I don't want Farah to let Gio down and hurt Aunt Latifah like she did to me and mama__to you." Daniel rubbed his wife's cheek gently.
"Darling.we never know how fate can change a person. We pray that Brother Farah can change and become a better person." Medina stared at her husband's brown bead.
"Yes. I hope Gio gets his happiness." Daniel realized that what his wife said was true. Destiny, soul mate, death, sustenance all God has arranged in such a way.
What we think is good, not necessarily according to God is good for his servant. Likewise, something that we do not like but for God is the best for us, the task of man accepts and lives it with the pleasure of all His good destiny.
"It's late at night.ayo come in." Daniel took Medina's fingers and walked into the house and took her into the room.
"Darling.I haven't seen the little guy's room yet." Medina recalled not having seen any special room decorations for their future child.
"There's still plenty of time, Hon. You need to get some rest, you're busy all day and you're tired." Daniel kissed his wife's temple.
"Just a moment." Medina started whining and Daniel didn't like that because he was going to lose.
"Darling...."
"Tomorrow, Honey. You can be as good as being in the little guy's room." Daniel summarizes his wife's face and showers her with kisses.
"Yes.iya! Alright." Medina laughed amusedly and finally complied.
