Counting the day to approach Eid al-Fitr, everyone is busy with preparations for Eid, starting from buying clothes and food to welcome the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

"Bang, later tonight Temenin Wulan buy food for the contents of the jar in our house? It would not be nice if you welcome guests there is no treat" said Wulan.

"May, later tonight brother Temenin Wulan to buy cakes or other food for lebaran later" said Marsel.

"Wulan fill the list first yes, so that shopping is not too bad to choose the wrong cake" said Wulan while taking a small book and writing a list of the contents of the food to be purchased.

"If so, my brother said work first, baby"

Marsel then bowed and kissed his wife, Wulan shaking hands and kissing her husband on the cheek.

"Your maid first yes, assalamu'alaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam, heart yes bang"

Marsel then walked out of the house, Wulan delivering him to the door.

Inside the house, Wulan was cleaning his house, starting from cleaning the kitchen, living room, room and bathroom.

"Waduhh, tired of this, too, all yes, let alone fasting gini. Patience lan, can reward also if sincerely clean up the house"

Wulan then sat down, she leaned on the sofa and turned on her television.

While focusing on the soap opera being watched, suddenly his phone rang, Wulan picked up the phone.

"Hello mah, what's wrong? " ask Wulan.

'Lan, do you know where Raka is? ' asked Salma from the phone.

"Loh, Raka why mah? Another storm with Sela? " ask Wulan.

'Like that, mama was worried he was out of the storm to macem-macem, Raka was our responsibility as long as he was still at home mommy's equally papa, so now mama nanya same you're ' salma said with a worried tone of voice.

"Sela hasn't been better with Raka, huh? " asked Wulan curiously.

'Mama has persuaded Sela to do better with Raka, but Sela even argue and do not want to be better with Raka, she seems to really hate Raka, duhh.

Wulan who heard this became worried and sad, because her sister-in-law had not fully accepted that her own sister-in-law's husband to make up.

"Sorry mah, Raka really is not at Wulan's house, maybe he went somewhere else" said Wulan.

'I see, yaudah sorry if mama bullies, mama hangs up, assalamu'alaikum '

"Wa'alaikumsalam "

The phone call ended, Wulan felt anxious, she then thought more clearly to be able to think about other things.

"I have to call Sela, can't she have to fight with Raka"

Wulan looking for her sister-in-law's phone number, she then found Misella's number and immediately called her.

Waiting for a long time because the status rang, finally the phone lifted.

"Sela, deck, how are you? " ask Wulan.

'Okay, what's wrong, ma'am? '

"Dek, you had a fight with Raka yes, said mama he did not know where to go" said Wulan.

From the phone came an upset voice from Misella.

'Ma'am, pliss deh, don't care about that man who makes Sela destroyed like a gini! Sela does not want to always have to see him continue and make Sela fed up! ' firmly Misella.

"Sela, why do you hate Raka so much? Is there a big mistake so Sela does not want to apologize Raka? " ask Wulan curiously.

'That's... Emm... Sela hated him as much...! ' refute Misella.

Wulan sighed, she then advised her sister-in-law.

"Sela, try to soften Sela's own heart, Sela was already giving an answer why she did not like Raka and it is not clear what the reason is... "

Sela just stayed on the phone, while Wulan gave advice to her own sister-in-law.

"Well know not the same saying 1000 good will be erased by 1 evil? " ask Wulan.

'Why? '

"Dek, try to remember back in your time with Raka, maybe if you try to remember all your sweet memories with Raka, maybe, I don't think you'll be able to count how many of those memories happened to the two of you. Mbak sure, you hate the same Raka because of the incident a month ago, it is for you like a crime made by Raka and will not be erased right? " ask Wulan to convince Misella.

'Ngga... No. ' elak Misella.

"You can't sleep, deck, you know, but I'm begging you, open your heart to make it better Raka, however you and Raka are two couples who have been destined together. Mbak also believes there are many sweet memories that you still keep with Raka, but you instead throw away those sweet memories with one mistake made with Raka. You know, Raka once cursed himself useless in front of the mother because it makes you who originally love him so make you hate him" explained Wulan.

"Since mbak nginep at your mother's house, Raka always confided with mbak and your sister Marsel then cursed herself, saying, he regretted his hasty decision to protect you from the worries he saw and heard. Mbak sure, Raka decided something hasty there is a reason, mbak also sure that Raka really wants to protect you, but the way he was wrong so he himself cursed himself. So, I'm not asking Sela, make it up, if it feels difficult, you open an album or whatever you two share and you still keep it until now. Remember, God alone is forgiving, our time as a people does not want to forgive the treatment of other people? " ask Wulan.

Sela fell silent, she felt a strange thing happen to her as her sister-in-law advised her, like there was a mistake and wanted to apologize.

"If so, mbak matiin phone yes, please you make up with Raka, especially soon Lebaran arrived. Sela, however she is now her husband Sela and the future father of her son Sela, you must make up your mind to welcome your child later with the love and affection you have. Don't make excuses that Raka's hasty decision is Sela's way to hate and consider Raka a bad person. If so, mbak matain first the phone, assalamu'alaikum"

'Waalaikumsalam'

Wulan put her phone back on the table, while she continued watching her soap opera while relaxing.

At the Thomas family residence, Misella feels different from her feelings, she remembers every word of her sister-in-law and takes the initiative to take something in the closet.

An open album book, Misella sees photos of her from childhood to adulthood.

Each portrait is clearly displayed in the album book, then Misella is transferred with a photo of Raka and herself together, of course with a small note in each photo.

Misella took the small note, she read the note.

Impressed by the day and nostalgia, Misella begins to shed her tears, every word in the letter tells her love story with Raka when she was first acquainted until Raka who asked her to date until getting engaged.

Misella also began to think, she still keeps her love that is shaken by her emotions in Raka, she said, he will never be able to find a man like Raka who always succumbs to his attitude and can be a patient and loyal man.

"Raka.". "crying Misella, she then cried bitterly while hugging the album. Misella walks in search of Raka, she then hears Raka's voice from the study.

"Yes, Raka is good here with Raka's new family"

'But how do you look so skinny, son? You got a problem, huh? '

"Nga... No really, Raka is skinny because of mah fasting, her food intake is not there, so Raka is skinny, mah. Mama's son where there's a problem if it's work, right? Haha... "

Hearing all the words Raka deliberately lied to Rani, Misella felt guilty for treating Raka badly.

"Yes, later fitting Lebaran Raka same Misella stopped by the house, Raka there is a surprise for mom and dad "

'Well, you really want to make mama curious? Tell me dong... '

"Later dong, not cool if you know first, yaudah, dahhh mama... "

Raka turned off her phone, her happy face turned sad again, looking as if she felt guilty when lying to her mother.

"Ka... "

Raka who was staring at the screen looking towards the door, Misella entered and approached Raka then immediately hugged her.

"Raka, I'm sorry... All this time I've been bad with you, you lie to your mama if we are all in good shape... "

Raka stroked Misella's hair, she also hugged Misella tightly.

"Ngga, it's not your fault, it's my fault. I should have thought about killing all this, not rushing. I'm too overthinking, assuming you're afraid of anything, so it's very quick to decide on a marriage that doesn't suit your wishes"

"Nga... "

"I didn't think of you yesterday either, but I promise Sela, I'll make a reception for us, will you? " ask Raka.

"Don't do it, ka, I just wanted to say thank you as much as apologize to you. I'm grateful that I was meant to be with you, I should be able to accept this, because this is what I wanted from the time I was dating you, ka"

Raka and Misella embrace tightly, Raka calms Misella who is still crying, for fear of having an effect on her womb.

"Udah, do not cry again yes, it will affect the same baby we are" persuaded Raka.

"Yes ka, I will not cry anymore" said Misella as she pleased.
