Seven months later.

Today is Rafa's third birthday. Rafa's third birthday coincides with a seven-month baby inside Annisa's womb. In the morning at half ten Annisa held a lecture by inviting orphans and study mothers at the complex where Annisa lived.

During the day Annisa invites all her family, neighbors, Toriq's co-workers at the hospital and Annisa's college friends to have lunch at home. Titien's mother, Mr. Ernawan, Aisyah and Umar were also present at Rafa's birthday and the baby's seven-month birthday. They leave Friday afternoon from Padalarang using travel.

For food Annisa message to catering because Toriq advised Annisa should not cape. Annisa also ordered cakes at her grocery store. But if rujak and cendol .Annisa made her own with the help of Mbok Sarmi and Isti.

“Mamah don't be too cape,” Toriq said as he handed out envelopes to orphans after graduation.

While Annisa distributed rice boxes and snack boxes to orphans and study mothers assisted by Aisyah.

“iya, Pah. After all, during the lecture Mamah just sat down,” replied Annisa while continuing to distribute rice boxes and snack boxes.

While Rafa approaches Annisa who is busy distributing rice boxes and snack boxes, Rafa kisses Annisa's stomach while rubbing Annisa's stomach.

“Dede,” says Rafa.

“Rafa don't disturb Mamah,” Toriq said seeing Rafa who was busy kissing her Mom's stomach.

“Rafa wants to be with Dede,” said Rafa who is still attached to Annisa's stomach.

Dug..there is a movement from Annisa's stomach that appears prominent.

“Mamah….Aa was kicked with Dede,” said Rafa while rubbing his forehead.

Annisa rubs Rafa's forehead.

“Nothing really. Her sister is happy to be rubbed and kissed Aa,” Annisa said.

Eventually the group of orphans and the study mothers all came home. Now it's a family lunch, Toriq's co-workers and Annisa's college friends.

“Annisa, your husband's friends are handsome,” praise Lala Annisa's college friend.

“There are bachelors, no?” ask Lala.

“There may be, but don't know which one,” replied Annisa.

“Try lo see that does not carry a hand with means still bachelor,” says Maya.

“If his wife's child is at home and does not come. I want to be an actor dong,” said Lala.

“Yey, lo ge-eran. Who wants to be lo,” Maya said.

The more guests come. Fortunately Annisa ordered food in large quantities so that she was not afraid of lack. Everyone praised the cendol and rujak made by Annisa. They said the cendol made by Annisa tastes similar to the famous Elinyabet cendol in Bandung. The spice is delicious because the season does not sweeten and is also not too salty. For the spiciness of purpose Annisa separate so that guests can determine the spicy taste they want.

Annisa smiled happily to see the guests eating the dishes provided.

“Mamah, don't stand still. Later cape,” said Toriq who was suddenly on his side.

Toriq guided Annisa towards the seat. Annisa sat down while rubbing her stomach.

“Thank you, yes Pah. Papah wants to accept Mamah as it is and love Mamah and Rafa. Mamah is really happy,” Annisa said.

“Sama-sama dear,” replied Toriq while rubbing his wife's stomach.

“Papah also thanks because Mamah has been willing to accept Papah who has many shortcomings to become the imam of Mamah,” Toriq said while kissing Annisa's head.

“Heh....don't kiss here!!! Here many joblo tau,” chirps Roland who suddenly already behind Annisa and Toriq.

Annisa and Toriq looked back.

“Who told me to be single. Find a wife!!!!” exclaim Toriq.

“Abang aja married pas already aged. If Roland was young, Bang. Still can have fun,” replied Roland.

“If you will have to wait for your sister to graduate high school first, otherwise you can marry Annisa who is still in school,” Toriq said.

“Say you don't sell,” chirps Roland.

Annisa only smiled hearing Toriq and Roland's jokes. Actually her husband is not including the type of man who does not sell. Physically, his face, appearance and work are absolutely perfect to make Toriq a Casanova. Often when Annisa walks with Toriq all women's eyes are on Toriq, but Toriq is indifferent not interested in the beautiful willa. For some reason Toriq was not interested in becoming a Casanova, he preferred to focus on his work. Perhaps God has arranged everything to make Toriq as his soul mate.

Four years later.

A couple were walking towards a ballroom. The wife uses a Muslim kebaya specifically designed for pregnant women. While the husband uses a long-sleeved batik shirt whose motif and color is the same as the batik cloth used by his wife. They are Toriq and Annisa. Annisa is eight months pregnant. Toriq seemed protective of his wife.

“Sweetie the way be careful, don't be too fast. Pity your baby sister if she walks too fast,” Toriq said.

“Not bad luck this darling is only half nine. The show will start at nine,” Toriq said patiently.

“Pah, try Mamah tanya's phone they have not walked yet?” annisa said agitatedly.

“Now you are calm. Father and Mamah and children delivered Roland,” said Toriq trying to calm his wife.

“Now Mamah sat down first,” Toriq said while looking for the Annisa bench that has been provided by the committee for students who will be at graduation.

Finally Toriq found a chair that had been written the participant number belonging to Annisa.

“You sit here, don't go anywhere!! If you want to go to the bathroom or have any Papah phone, okay?” toriq

“Okey,” Annisa replied.

“Papah wait outside with kids,” Toriq said.

“Iya, Pah.”

Toriqpun left Annisa sitting together with the other students. The students were amazed to see Toriq's face. He is not young but still looks handsome.

The show is about to start but it looks like Mamah and Mr. Annisa have not yet arrived. Annisa stood up from her seat and turned her back. Annisa sees Toriq holding their little daughter Sapphira and her right hand leading Rafa. Toriq is helping Mamah and Mr. looking for a bench that has been provided by the committee for Annisa's parents. Finally the bench he was looking for met. After Mamah and Papah Annisa sat down, Toriqpun took their children out. Annisa waved to her husband and children.

Toriq said something to Safira and Rafa then pointed towards Annisa. Safira and Rafa looked towards their Mamah then they waved to Annisa. Because the show was about to start Toriq took both of their children out. The invitation is for two people only.

The graduation ceremony lasts two to one hour. After finishing Annisa out of the Ballroom along with her parents approached Toriq and Rafa along with Safira.

“Congratulations yes dear,” Toriq kissed Annisa's forehead then gave a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

“Thank you,” Annisa said with amazement.

“Papah, when to buy a bouquet of flowers?” asked Annisa who supraise got a bouquet of flowers from her husband.

“Papah has a long message. It was sent to Roland for help to get it,” Toriq said.

“Thank you, Papah,” said Annisa once again while smelling the fragrance of flowers.

“Sama-sama, dear.”

“Come now we go home,” Toriq said.

“Where to Roland?” ask Toriq to his children.

“Neither way,” answered Rafa pointing towards the Ballroom door.

“Oh, maybe Om Roland wants to meet someone special,” Toriq said.

“Cepecial is what, Pah?” ask Safira.

“Special is special, Safira,” Rafa who replied.

“Safira also wants cepecial, Mah,” Safira said while hugging Annisa's leg.

“Later if Safira is big will have a special one,” replied Annisa while rubbing Safira's head.

“You wait here with Mamah, Enin and Aki. Papah wants to take the car first,” Toriq told Rafa and Safira.

“iya, Papah,” replied Rafa and Safira.

When Toriq was about to walk into the parking lot suddenly someone called out to him.

“Where to go?” asked Roland to approach Toriq.

“Where are you from?” Toriq asked back.

“Biasalah, Bang. Young man,” replied Roland.

“Abang want to grab a car first. Do you want to go home or do you want a special home?” ask Toriq.

“Go home, Bang. The special one wants an event with his parents,” replied Roland.

“Come quickly we take the car, pity Mamah and Mr. has stood over time,” Toriq said.

“OK, Bang,” Rolandpun followed Toriq to the parking lot.

Upon arriving home, Annisa is greeted by Ua and her in-laws. Annisa gets a hug kiss from Ms. Elly and Ms. Pomegranate, as well as getting congratulations from Mr. Syamsul and Mr. Supardi. They celebrate Annisa's graduation by eating together at Annisa's house.
