Rania was glued to the spot staring at the woman in front of her.

"Mom Hanum... ".

Mama Hanum walked over to Rania who was still silent on the spot.

Rania immediately regained her senses and grabbed the right hand of mama Hanum and then kissed her.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ms. Hanum. ", greet Rania later.

"Waalaikum... ".

"Bu Hanum.", Rania's sentence hung, staring at mama Hanum without being able to continue her sentence. Mama Hanum realizes Rania's shock with her arrival.

"Oohhh. ".

"Mother, earlier Gemma brought a lot of cake for Andra, Andra is also given an electric scooter with Gemma, her scooter is good Mother, there is a siren light. ".

'Gemma?', Rania doesn't understand why Andra calls Mama Hanum Gemma.

"Waaahh... Thank God, Andra has said thank you for not being the same... Gemma?", Rania felt unfamiliar with the name Gemma to mama Hanum because she did not know what the call meant.

"It's Mother, isn't it Gemma?".

"Yes unfortunately Gemma." said mama Hanum while pinching Andra's cheek.

"Thank you, Ms. Hanum, for coming home and looking at Andra. ".

"Iya Rania, I'm happy to see Andra. Pinter is your son, a really good boy. ".

Rania smiled happily at Mama Hanum's praise for her son.

"Please sit down, ma'am, sorry the house is narrow. ".

"Your house although not spacious but nice and comfortable to live in, it feels warm and calm, just Arsha pantesan at home here. ".

Rania immediately fell silent, 'Definitely bu Hanum also knows this from Mr. Joko', Rania smiled clumsily.

"I.iya Ma. ", said Rania as she squeezed her finger.

"He didn't take you, did he, Rania?".

"Who is Mom?".

"Ohh... No ma'am, absolutely no ngrepotin. Mr. Arsha even accompanied Andra to play his favorite lego. ".

"Oh yes, Arsha is also from a small do love to play lego, it turns out Andra hobby is also the same as Arsha. ".

At night in Rania's room, Andra was lying down to prepare for sleep, Rania followed after finishing sending the report she had typed to Dani.

"So Andra was told what Gemma was?".

Andra rolled her body tilted towards Rania who was next to her.

"So Gemma the story of the good-natured Crocodile, Mother. "

"Oh yeah... Try what the story is like. ".

"Yes mother, her crocodile pity has no friends, because everyone is afraid of crocodiles. Even though the crocodile wants to have many friends. There continued to be rabbits falling into the river, the crocodile that howled the rabbit, so the rabbit wanted to be friends with the crocodile. "

"Well, good story. So what does the story mean, dong?".

"Gemma said, meaning we should not choose friends from..., from what is Mother?", asked Andra confused because he forgot.

"That is, we should not see people just from their appearance. We can't be picky friends just look outside."

"Oh yes, that was what was said Gemma, Andra forgot" Andra said as she patted her eel.

Rania smiled amusedly looking at Andra.

"Andra why call him Gemma?".

"He said that Gemma is Grandma, Grandma means grandmother, Andra was told to call her Gemma because it means grandmother. "

"Oohh that's it. ", it turns out that's what it means, Rania just understood now.

"Mother, Gemma is good as Om Arsha. Gemma said sometime you want to take Andra to Gemma's house, tell her to see Om Arsha's leg there, may Mother?".

"May dear, but Andra must promise first, must not be naughty with Gemma huh. "

"Yes Mother, Andra promises not to be naughty. "

"They're very nice people. At that time, my mother was also given a gift with Gemma. "

"What gift is Mommy?", asked Andra curiously.

"Mother is given a very nice shirt with Gemma. ".

Rania recalled when she was asked to accompany Mama Hanum to a Muslim boutique, and when she finished choosing clothes for mama Hanum, she was told to choose clothes for her son, who was the only one she wanted to wear, but it turns out that the clothes were even given to Rania.

"Well, now is the time to go to sleep, let's read the prayer before going to bed. ".

Andra immediately raised her right hand in front of her mouth.

"Bismilahirrahmanirrahim

Bismika alluhumma ahyaa wa bismika... "

Rania fix Andra's position to be comfortable, and enveloped to the stomach, although later certainly the blanket will go somewhere because Andra kicks during sleep.

"Smoke, Mother. ", whine Andra with a raucous voice. A routine that Rania always does before Andra sleeps, since Andra was a baby.

"Yes dear... ", Rania immediately lifted the back shirt that covered Andra's back, then rubbed it slowly, until Andra fell asleep.

Arsha looked at Mama Hanum who had just entered the house, then glanced at the wall clock, at 19:10, then walked over to her mother.

"Where did Mommy come home at this hour?", asked Arsha when she was close to mama Hanum.

"Mama has come to bring happiness. "

"Picking up happiness?", Arsha follows mama Hanum who walks into the dining room.

"What happiness is Mom?", asked Arsha curiously.

Mama Hanum immediately turned to look at Arsha with a mysterious smile.

"Ra-ha-si-a!", replied mama Hanum briefly.

Arsha was surprised by her mother's reply.

"Pake the secrets of all the mom. Mommy from the Cantika house?", guess Arsha.

"Not dong... ".

"Keep?", asked Arsha increasingly curious.

"What happened?".

"Yes keep mommy from where?".

"And my mom told me a secret. Yesterday aja you are happy mama is not told, now replace happy mama dong do not tell you. "

"Mom's... ", Arsha sighed bitterly hearing the words of her mother.

"Udah ah, mama wants to take a bath, keep going straight to bed. Let her be happy to enter into my mother's dream. "

Mama Hanum soon passes from the face of Arsha who is still gawking at the adjustments to her strange behavior tonight.

'Happiness? What does happiness mean?'.

The next day, Arsha's office.

Rania steps into Arsha's study, staring at her boss who is already sitting in her office chair.

"Good morning Mr. Arsha. ", Rania lowered her head as a sign of respect.

"Morning", said Arsha quickly and briefly.

Rania glanced at Arsha who was busy opening the map at her work desk, ignoring Rania as usual.

'It's really like having two personalities, one cold and one warm, ' Rania in her heart.

Arsha turned her head to look at Rania who was still silent, their gazes met, locked for a few seconds, before finally Rania ended because she realized from her daydream.

Rania bowed wrongly because she was caught staring at her Boss.

"What is my agenda today?", asked Arsha breaking the silence.

Rania quickly opened a note on her iPad.

"Today there was a meeting with the board of directors regarding the construction of the apartment, sir".

Rania fell silent again, still lowering her head.

"That's it?".

"Yes sir", answered Rania briefly, still looking down.

"Besok saturday I will take Andra, as I promised Andra I would buy lego. ".

Rania immediately raised her face looking at Arsha.

"Can you?!", asked Arsha in a slightly pressing tone. Rania nodded slowly, because Andra also always asked him that, impossible to refuse, afraid Andra would be disappointed if not so go with Arsha.

"Pak Arsha, for the matter of hospital fees... ".

"You can leave now. "

Rania fell silent after her sentence was cut, 'Why is it always cut when asking for hospital fees?'.

"Sir, I will keep returning the money to Mr. Arsha!", he said firmly.

Arsha was surprised to hear Rania who said a little loudly to him.

"Sorry sir, it's my obligation as a parent to take care of Andra. ".

"Okay.", said Arsha briefly.

"Thank you sir, if you'll excuse me. "

Rania soon passes from the presence of Arsha who is still staring at her until Rania's shadow is lost behind the door. Arsha sighed softly, closing her eyes tightly.

Last night she had a dream about Rania, but it was a bit different from her previous dream. In a dream last night, Rania pulled out her hand and then hugged her tightly. Arsha still did not understand the meaning of his dream.

Arsha shook her head violently, trying to shake off the dream image of last night that was like real.
