"Papah, did you say that you refused the investor's request to build a factory in Indonesia?" Ask Shafiah while tidying up the bed.
"Is she not talking to you again?" Ask Zahfran while buttoning one by one the buttons of his shirt.
"Don't tell the hell mas, papah said, papah will experience a very large loss if investors withdraw all the funds they have invested."
"Well, you know that I don't want to come to my homeland anymore, but still he forced me to accept the project, whatever he had in mind, I don't understand." Said Zahfran while tidying up his clothes.
"Father trying professional mas. Anyway, why don't you want to go home? Do you like Azky?" Shafiah asked as she looked at Zahfran's back.
Deg.question Shafiah makes Zahfran stop for a moment his activities. "What do you mean?" Zahfran stared at Shafiah from the reflection of the makeup mirror.
"Sorry, do you still love Azky?" He asked again with a serious look.
"It's not love, it's rather guilt." Singakat's answer.
"You're sorry you divorced Azky?"
Zahfran turned to look at the face of the Shafiah directly, slowly he approached the wife and stood right in front of her. "You still doubt me?"
"Not so mas, you strongly reject anything that is related to that in Indonesia, you even strongly reject any type of business from there."
"I was afraid to meet Azky, I was afraid to see his life suffer because I was too afraid of Shafiah, if I saw him suffer, the guilt would be very whipping myself."
"That means you're running away from reality, you're too afraid to face reality. If you want to end it all, you have to face it, not avoid it."
"Then what do you want dear?" Ask Zahfran.
"Receive the project mas, Azky was in Jakarta, and your project was in Surabaya, very far from there. I miss my family too much."
"Dear."
"It's been a long time since I've met Rafa's brother, I miss my sister." Shafiah shed her tears in front of Zahfran because she had been missing her brother for too long.
"You know, baby, it's not that I forbid you to meet Rafa, but.."
"You forbid me to go alone, but you won't take me there either?when did I meet my sister? Hikss.hiks.." Shafiah bowed her gaze down.
"Would you like to see Rafa?" Zahfran asked while holding Shafiah's shoulder.
Shafiah looked up at Zahfran. "Yes mas, I miss Rafa's sister, the Goddess, Nizma, I miss them so much mas."
"Alright, I'll drive you to meet your sister." Say Zahfran while wiping the tears of Shafiah.
"really?" Said Shafiah very enthusiastically, then hugged Zahfran. "Thank you, thank you"
"Dear, whatever I'll do for you." Zahfran kissed the top of Shafiah's hair several times.

Rani was silent again.
"Roman.."
"Yes, um."
"How's it?"
"Are my parents really going to accept me?"
"You still doubt the kindness of my parents?"
"Ran.all I know is that you're a great woman, all right, that's enough for me, and my parents know all the stories about you, and they don't have a problem."

Arriving at night, as usual every night Rani always perform tahajud prayers.
After the tahajud prayer, Karna was too sleepy and Rani fell asleep on the prayer mat and still wearing her face.
"Azky.Wake up baby, dad is here son, dad is always there for you.Get my dad's hand son, dad will lead you to happiness."
In Azky's waking dream, he looked around to confirm his current existence, but whether he was where, he saw the figure of the father in his dream. "Father, closer father, Azky difficult to reach the hand of father, Azky wanted to come with father.Hikss.."
"Dad here son, here's dad's hand, come with me."
Azky looked up his head to the face of the Father whom he had longed for so long. "dad." Azky grabbed the hand and stood up.
But when he was standing, no longer the figure of his father who was in front of him, but another man who was now in front of him. "Mas..?" Azky widened his eyes when he saw the figure of the man before him.
"Yes, here I am, I love you dear."
"Dad?"
"I'm not your father, I'm your future." Said the man in a dream.
"Mas..?"
"Yes, here I am."
"I want my dad. Ayaaaah...."
Suddenly Asiah wakes Rani from her sleep. "Umi..hiks..hix...umi.." Asiah cried while shaking Rani's body.
Instantly Rani awoke from her dream with a breath of breath, she saw Asiah was already in front of her crying. "Umi why? hicks..Asiah continued to cry while hugging Rani because of fear
"It's okay, son." Rani tries to eliminate her daughter's fear.Slowly her crying began to subside in Rani's embrace.
Recalling the figure of the man present in her dream, as if not believing what she saw earlier, she buried her face while hugging Asiah.
