Four months went by and everything went as it should. Happiness did not diminish from the Ashqar and Sapphira families although some problems were present in their midst.
It is not only Zain who sometimes still harbors jealousy towards Harsha, but also minor misunderstandings between Ashqar and Sapphira. However, Sapphira herself considers it as a spice from her current household life. And now another happiness will come in his life as a great gift.
Rafa and Ranee's wedding in less than two weeks will be held. In the end of Sapphira's hope other than happiness both of them is that Rafa will no longer bother her or Ashqar about the bad luck ahead of the wedding or the dispute Rafa and Ranee when preparing for the marriage.
Not that Sapphira objected to helping Rafa's problem, but her older brother was like he was not when dealing with Ranee. Safira himself knew very well how the character of his future sister-in-law, firm, independent and logical.
“Where is the wedding ready, Ma'am?” asked Safira, fixing Harsha's blanket.
Both are in Safira's room. Ranee reasoned to miss his nephew and some time later he also could not meet with Sapphira or Harsha. Even when Sapphira gave birth until the Harsha aqiqah event, Ranee could not come because the state duty was too possessive of her and only twice after the event.
“About 85%. Just confirm to WO for the event is the same as the invitation, the rest is the smallest.”
“The square traders are invited as well?” safira asked half-jokingly.
“Yang really, Fi.” Ranee glanced at Safira then quickly turned back to Harsha, playing her tiny fingers. “That's called suicide.”
Safira's laughter was smooth. She is most happy to tease Ranee by using her fake identity when she becomes a cake dealer. “Now times Mbak Vera kangen same atmosphere square.”
“You want to know when to call me by that name, anyway?”
Safira. “For ever,” said, lying on his side facing Ranee who was sitting on the edge of the bed. “Make me, Ms. Vera tetep Mbak Vera. If I call my real name Ma'am, I feel that the people I know are different even though one person is the same.”
Ranee could only breathe out after hearing Sapphira's answer which remained the same each time he asked about her nickname. “By the way, Fi. If I miss Aunt Sari, how are you?” ranee asked, doubt was clearly in her tone.
Sapphira's expression changed. Her eyes dodged Ranee's gaze, watching her daughter's slumbering face. “Why did you ask me for permission? That's up to Vera.”
While Sapphira tries to avoid her gaze, Ranee throws seriousness at Sapphira. “I didn't ask for permission, I asked your feelings.”
“My feelings should not have anything to do with your wedding, including invited guests. So no problem.”
“You can't lie at least, yes.” Ranee pinches Safira's cheek and ignores the protest directed at her. “I hope your relationship and Aunt Sari improve, because you yourself ‘kan who gave permission to Mr and Aunt Saru to refer.”
Safira looks grim. “I hope so too, but it still feels very difficult. Every time I see Aunt Sari's face that comes to my mind is the state of Alvin and Zain at the police station after the kidnapping.”
“You once said, time is the most efficacious remedy for a wounded heart. But in my opinion, accepting that pain and trying to deal with it is the best way rather than just letting it go.” Ranee reached out, rubbing Safira's mane. “Just like that time, you accept your past and face Mr. Rafa also slowly everything improves rather than when you keep running from them.”
“But I need years,” sergeant Safira. “And the strong reason why I chose to face them is my little family, but make Aunt Sari ...”
“For the sake of me and Rafa,” said Ranee, staring at the faces of Harsha and Safira alternately. “Or for Harsha also two krucil.”
Safira. He still avoided Ranee's gaze which seemed to be exposing him, there was no sentence that Sapphira was able to issue as a rebuttal. However, he also knew that the reason that Ranee offered was the most reasonable thing.
It's just that, forgiving is never always easy and in the case of Safira, it feels almost impossible. While her brother's marriage is in sight, she doesn't want Rafa to lose face in front of Ranee's family.
