For several days after the death of Sonia's mother, the woman with one child seemed to still hold deep sorrow. Every day the woman slept in her mother's room hugging a photo of the woman who had given birth to her. Sonia seems to forget that there are children who are in need of attention and affection out there. Luckily Riyan understood the condition of the woman he loved without protesting at all.
Still hugging the photo of his mother while crying bitterly. It was as if past events were playing around on the head of the woman who worked as Harfei's secretary.
Gradually Sonia's stuffing began to shrink, she stared at the nanar photo of her mother who was hugging her when graduation.
"Mom, what should Sonia do without a mother?. Sonia can't do anything Mom, Sonia's paralyzed without Sonia's mother's side".
One line of tears just escaped without excuse. Then Sonia wiped her tears and said,
"Give Sonia the strength so that Sonia can forget this grief Mom".
Sonia kisses and stares lovingly at the picture of her mother as if she can talk and chat with the woman who gave birth to her.
"Mommy".
The sound of a child breaking Sonia's daydream. The woman wiped her tears, then hugged her son's body and kissed the son's forehead guiltily. During these few days he forgot his status as a mother, he forgot that there was a five-year-old child was waiting for his presence as usual. Feed her when she is hungry, bathe her in the morning, and lull her at night. But the task was negligent for a while after the grief wrapped the heart of the curly-haired woman.
"I'm sorry dear Mommy. For a moment Mommy forgot if you needed Mommy".
Sonia stared regretfully at her five-year-old son and buried him in her arms.
"Mommy still sad?. Daddy said grandma was already in heaven. Heaven is the most beautiful place. Later if Samuel had met grandma in heaven Samuel would have said that Mommy loved grandma very much".
Sonia could not hold back her tears, she cried like a child who lost both parents.
"I'm sorry dear Mommy, forgive Mommy".
Unceasingly Sonia kissed the top of Samuel's head, she was truly sorry and moved by her son who had thoughts like an adult.
Riyan who looked at the two favorite people from behind the door of the room, shed tears of sadness as well as haru.

Three months after Sonia's mother passed away, the beautiful woman returned to her senses, although sometimes the feeling of grief approached when he entered into his mother's room and inhaled the scent of the woman's body that had given birth to him was deep as if he could feel his presence in the place.
"Sonia, are you ready for today's presentation?. I miss your performance".
Harfei said on the sidelines preparing to meet a new client named Mr. Adiguna.
"Of course I'm ready. For several months I managed to get my heart in order after my mother's departure. I know you're calm up there".
Sonia smiled as she remembered her mother. If three months ago the woman had always cried every time the middle-aged woman appeared and played around in her memory, but now that cry had turned into a proud smile. Yes, Sonia is proud to be a daughter of a woman named Dewi Pratiwi.
"alright. Let's go, everyone's waiting for us".
Then Harfei and Sonia left the room to the meeting room where everyone had gathered to watch the presentation from Sonia.

At the restaurant, Hazal sat down while looking at her temple as if she was thinking about something.
"Mba Hazal's".
"Helena".
Helena came in with a cup of tea on the tray. The woman kept the white cup on Hazal's desk.
"Drink this jasmine tea, this tea is believed to calm the feeling of being upset. I learned from my mother first".
Hazal smiled at Helena's words as if trying to cultivate a spirit that had receded. And sure enough, after Hazal drank Helena's jasmine tea, the woman became excited as if forgetting the burden in there.
Hazal drank the jasmine tea until it was gone.
"Ah, mba Hazal can. I feel flattered".
Helena smiled shyly at Hazal's praise. Rarely does the long-haired woman praise a person's performance if it does not match her expectations.
"I'm serious Helena. Maybe this will be included in our main menu. I'll recommend it to our regulars later".
Hazal said proudly. And Helena also thanked in her heart because it was not in vain that the woman learned to make jasmine tea typical of her mother. Although simple, but the results are satisfactory.
The two women also threw each other a proud smile, without realizing there was a pair of eyes that watched them from behind the door while tightening their hands.

"Mas, how's Sonia in the office?. Is he starting to calm down?".
Hazal asked who was on the bed with Harfei. The woman looked exhausted after a long struggle. Both of them do farming activities after several months of grief dressing them. More precisely the suffering of Sonia, but is not that suffering can also be felt by the honey-haired woman?.
"You don't have to worry about your best friend, baby. She's doing just fine. There I was there always looking after him for you".
Harfei twirled his finger over Hazal's stomach forming a pattern.
"Don't go round and round, ticklish tau". Hazal Protest. The woman moved her husband's naughty hands from above the stomach.
"Geli but delicious, right?".
Harfei asked with a made-up seductive voice.
"It's delicious, but tired of tau mas. What's more nearly four hours of doing it. My battery's almost lobet. It could be that for the next few days I can't be online. The network needs full stamina".
"Son, I don't want to fast before your runway is muddled".
Harfei Protests. The man did not accept when Hazal refused him to grow crops as long as the land of Hazal was not muddled.
"Just let the fire country strike before the ice on the North pole melts".
Harfei pressed down on Hazal's runway suddenly, causing the owner to crumble.
"Is, don't be naughty like a scorpion. Later Avatar angry, if the Avatar angry, then the ice in the North pole will melt suddenly". Hazal slapped Harfei's mischievous hand which was agilely playing around in there.
"But before that the fire country will attack first".
"aaak-".
And two people who were in the land of romance was doing farming activities again after almost an hour of rest and talking.
