"But promise yes, sir ... But in the end, the friendship goes on. Never involve the office with personal matters. Honestly, if to get to the serious level I can't."
"I promise" said Mr. Zaydan loudly. "But I have one request for you." He continued while looking at me making this heart become unreasonable.
"W-what is that?"
"Call me Mas on the outside" said Mr. Zaydan to make me silent.
"Come, same time Danu called Mas while the same I did not?"
"Well, M-mas ..."
"I'll protect you, Dhira."
I was silent, no intention to answer again. My heart's gone, I don't want it to escape from my body right now. I look around, Mr. Zaydan is a good but not rotten person like Mas Rayyan who turns out to be just using me.

Zaydan POVs.
Zaydan Al Yazid, my name is. I have a very beautiful daughter from the womb of a woman who is as beautiful as my daughter. Unfortunately, the great woman chose to leave the world after giving birth to our daughter. He gave up his full responsibility to me as a father. I have no regrets, I am proud of my wife because she risked her life just for the birth of a new life.
'Diandra, Mas misses you so much, ' while I look at our wedding photo album.
Losing Diandra made me a new human being, I became more silent except for my most beautiful daughter in the world. A lot of people say I'm like a running refrigerator, I don't care about any of that.
Me and my best friend Danu decided to open umrah travel with mediocre capital. I trust Danu managed it all this time. Until finally I chose to come to manage it because it felt bad if Danu himself had to manage it. All this time it was not because I could not, but I chose to lock myself in the house while lamenting fate. Yes, I have not been able to forget my beloved wife, Diandra.
'Tok! 'Tok! 'Tok!
I tidied up my position that had seen our wedding picture frame now staring at the laptop that I had accidentally opened. Someone came in after I let it go. It sucks, because that guy is Danu. "Assalamu'alaikum, Mr. Haji."
I want to split his head into a few pieces. "Waalaikumsalam, Mr. Ustadz. Please enter!"
Danu entered as usual, then sat down in front of me. "Say, you only have ten minutes."
Danu was astonished, "Jeez, I just took a breath already a minute, Zay!"
"Last nine minutes." I deliberately put my flat face to prank my best friend.
"Eight minutes!"
I saw Danu taking her breath in deeply, wanting to let me chuckle at this moment. I'm trying so hard that Danu doesn't see it. "Actually I want to recruit someone, he's a friend of my wife's. God willing, trust."
"Where's the background for graduates?"
"His scholarship, I'll bring you the CV."
"Yes, just bring the CV first before talking."
"I forgot to ask!"
"Yes, your time is up."
"Ente mostly in this house, once basking in the sun so that the brain dilute tuh dikit. Assalamu'alaikum!"
"Getishalight."
Damnit damnit! How dare he curse me, fortunately no one heard him at this moment. I became curious as to who it was, because Danu wasn't usually like that.
The next day, I saw his CV yesterday. This heart ceaselessly uttered Masya Allah so amazed by the beauty of the woman. He reminded me of Diandra, I felt like I was falling in love a second time.
Huh, I'm sorry, Diandra. As you say, life goes on. Enjoy process!
Today the woman named Adhira Ulya entered work, this is the first day for her. I can't wait to see the girl's face.
'Tap 'em! 'Tap 'em! 'Tap 'em!
All eyes were on the beautiful girl in white, then she introduced herself. The murmur felt in my heart, it seemed like my heart had started to move this direction.
"Assalamu'alaikum, my name is Adhira Ulya. Just call me Dhira!"
I, who was in the room, looked at him with admiration. The girl wears a headscarf, thick eyebrows, a sharp nose, as she smiles the beautiful dimples adorn her face.
A few days later I sent Danu into the room, I was really curious about his wife's friend. "What's up, Haji sir?"
What a disgusting phrase to me, "I want to say, close the door first."
