Single-minded

Guests in the rain of the night

"Darling!" Sapa Arif friendly, Vika turned her head while wriggling.

Vika felt a great tingle, as Arif's hands hugged her tightly. Arif often does small things, to maintain the harmony of his marriage with Vika. Since getting to know Vika, Arif learned to understand the feelings of a woman. Vika becomes the first woman to make Arif realize the meaning of love.

"So let go, someone will see!"

"Nobody's here. Sister Vira has not come home yet, Fatih went with Bayu. If Farah was in her room. Who else is home?"

"Hmmm!" Vika sahut flat, as if lazy to serve Arif.

Finally Vika let Arif play with his stomach. Although it was amused, Vika tried to stay calm. So that Arif feels Vika does not respond. Vika does not look like Vira who does not easily say love. Vika is very good at keeping her happy. Arif is always looking for a way. For Vika to turn warm to him. But all of this is always in vain. Vika can always control herself when in an open room.

"When will you hug me?"

"A little while, baby?"

"It's been over fifteen minutes. If brother doesn't let go of his embrace. We won't be able to have dinner!" Said Vika coldly, Arif sighed softly. Arif was upset, because he could not make Vika smile.

"I'm giving up!" Said Arif annoyed, Vika smiled knot. Then slowly Vika tried to release Arif's embrace. But Arif is still not willing to let go of his embrace.

"Sister!" Vika said, Arif shook his head weakly. Arif leaned his head right on Vika's shoulder.

"I missed you!" Whisper Arif friendly, Vika nods assuringly.

Arif hugged Vika tightly, Arif's breath touched Vika's cheek gently. The warmth that was suddenly created. Dissipate two people in beautiful love. Vika dissolves in the warm decapitation of Arif. For a moment Vika forgot about the place. With her eyes closed, Vika felt every soft touch of Arif's hand.

"Sorry, Vika!" Sapa Bik Hinah, immediately Vika opened her eyes.

Vika throws Arif's hand rough. Vika was clumsy when she realized Bik Inah was already standing in front of the kitchen door. Vika pushes Arif's body away. Vika is really embarrassed to have dissolved in Arif's love cradle. Vika shook her head weakly, as if in disbelief with the incident that just happened.

While Bik Inah looked down, without thinking to see the warmth of Vika and Arif. Bik Inah is not just a housekeeper at Vika's house. For Vika and all family members, Bik Inah is like family. The figure of the mother who so missed Vika. Instead Bik Inah already considers Vika like his own daughter. Even with clear boundaries.

"What's the matter with this?" Sahut Vika friendly, Bik Inah looked up at Vika. Arif was seen scratching his nape which was not itchy. Deep in his heart, he was upset when Inah's bik came. Arif really did not expect the presence of Bik Inah who instantly destroyed the atmosphere.

"Sorry to bother Vika and Mas Arif. But in front there are guests looking for Vira. My aunt told them. If Vira doesn't exist, but they insist on going in. They want to meet the people at home?" Inah explained, Vika and Arif stared at each other. Both of them felt strange about the attitude of the guests.

"Who are they? My aunt doesn't know him!" Vika asked, bik Inah shook his head weakly.

"Well, we'll meet them. I'm asking for help to keep Inah cooking. Everyone will be coming soon. I've prepared all the ingredients!" Tell Vika, Bik Inah nodded.

Vika and Arif walked towards the living room. They want to see the guests coming. The clock is not too late. But outside the house, it looks like it is raining very fast. Conditions that don't allow anyone to visit. So Vika and Arif think, guests who come to his house is very important. Because it comes at a time of no support.

"Assalammualaikum!" Sapa Vika is friendly, Arif is standing right behind Vika.

There was a tall man standing at the door. Bik Inah has let her in. But politely he refused. The guest will only enter, if the homeowner allows. Therefore he remained standing outside waiting for Vika to come to him.

Arif and Vika were astonished, as they both felt that they did not know the man who stood behind them. But neither Vika nor Arif want to be bad. Any guests coming? They must be respected, because the guest brings fortune to the owner of the house.

"Glamma!" The guest said, turning his body. Arif and Vika were wide-eyed, they did not believe what he saw. Truly special guest, after all these years never met.

"Fariz!" Said Arif happily, then pulled Fariz's body. Arif hugged his cousin. Blood ties are severed, due to Azzam and Vira's love problems.

"How are you doing Arif?" Fariz said kindly, Arif nodded with a smile.

"I'm good Fariz, let's go in!" Sahut Arif, then embrace the body Fariz into the house.

But Arif's steps stopped, when he realized Fariz did not want to go into his house. Arif turned his head in wonder, when he saw Fariz standing looking right at the door. Fariz stared fixedly at Vika, as if Fariz was waiting for permission from Vika. Ever since Fariz came, not a word from Vika's lips was spoken. Only two hands were cupped, as Fariz reached out wanting to shake Vika's hand. A clear attitude could be understood by Fariz. But somehow Fariz felt the need for permission from Vika?

"Why Fariz? Come on in, Vika won't ban you from entering. For Vika the guest is fortune. So he will not refuse the coming windfall!"

"Include Madame Melda Atmaja!" Fariz said, immediately Vika raised her face.

Vika was surprised when Melda's name was spoken. Vika looked to the right and left, looking for Melda Fariz was talking about. Vika never knew Melda. But Vika is also not too deaf, not to hear what Melda did to Vira.

"Where's aunt Melda?" Said Arif worried.

"Mama's in the car, I purposely didn't bring her down. Because I doubt you'll accept my mother's arrival!" Fariz said, Arif stepped outside. Arif was looking for Melda in the car.

"Why did you let Aunt Melda wait in the car? Ask him to come down, we'll talk inside the house!" Said Arif loud, Fariz he was silent.

Fariz approached the parked car right in front of the entrance of Vika's house. Fariz opened the trunk of his car. Arif doesn't understand why Fariz opened the trunk. But Arif remained silent. Arif can't wait for his meeting with Melda. Someone she already considered a mother.

Braakkk

The sound of a wheelchair rang out in Arif's ears. For a moment Arif was astonished, why did Fariz take out a wheelchair? But his taste turned to anxiety. When he realized, Fariz took out a wheelchair for none other than Melda. Arif immediately ran towards the car door. Arif kissed Melda's hand, when it appeared that Melda was about to hug Fariz.

"Aunt Melda!" Said Arif worriedly, shortly after kissing the back of Melda's hand.

"Tante is fine Arif, no need to worry!" Sahut Melda, winking her beautiful eyes. Wrinkles on Melda's face, did not change the beauty she had long ago.

Arif pushing Melda's wheelchair. Slowly Melda entered the magnificent house of Vika. The residence of Azzam and Nadya. Vika used to be the daughter of her domestic assistant. But now Vika becomes a person who is commensurate with the Atmaja family. Melda looked at her. He traced every inch of Vika's house. Melda realized, Vika or Vira is not just anyone. The furniture is neatly arranged, giving a calming impression to those who see it.

"Your house is magnificent and luxurious Arif. You should start rarely at Atmaja family events. It turns out that you feel at home in this comfortable and beautiful house!"

"This house does not belong to Arif, Arif's house is used as a halfway house. While the house that Arif occupied. The house of Vira's sister given to Vika. The house that brother Vira built, as a gathering place for three brothers!"

"Vira always keeps sibling relationships above all others!" Fariz said, Arif nodded in agreement.

Before long, Vika came out while carrying a tray containing drinks and a plate of snacks. After greeting Melda, Vika sat right beside Arif. Both received Fariz and Melda with open arms.

"Arif, actually me and mom came to see Vira. But I just heard from your housekeeper. Vira is not home!"

"Sir Vira's permission to go to the hospital. The cure for Farah was left behind, so brother Vira took it in the hospital!"

"Are they coming?"

"Who's Fariz?" Sahut Arif, Fariz was silent.

"Path and Farah you mean!" Said Arif, Fariz nodded firmly.

"As usual Fatih has not come home, it may be a long time. If Farah is in her room!" Arif said, Fariz nodded slowly.

I heard the recitation of the Holy Quran. At first Fariz considered it ordinary, but over time Fariz realized. If the sound that was heard in his ears was so melodious and soothing. Fariz was at peace with hearing the chanting of the holy verse that Fariz had begun to forget.

"Who is teaching!" Fariz said, Arif nodded slowly.

"Farah is a reciter of the Quran!"

"Vira educated him very well!" Fariz lirih.

"Arif, actually aunt Melda wants to see Vira. Aunty wants to apologize personally to Vira. Twenty years ago, aunty had ruined Vira's life. That's why tonight my aunt wants to apologize. Although aunt harua kneels, aunt will. Provided Vira is willing to accept Azzam back!"

"If brother Vira doesn't want to go back to brother azzam. Would the lady be willing to apologize to Sister Vira!" Vika said coldly, Melda silently heard Vika's words. It was as if Vika's words were a difficult request.

"Darling!" Arif said, Arif's hand tightly grasped Vika's hand. It was as if asking Vika to be patient, hold back emotions and respect the elder.

"What's wrong? I feel like my words are still on the limit of courtesy. I just want to hear his honesty. I just want to know how sincerely he apologized. Because people with high levels like them. Will not come or be forgotten. If we don't have what they need!"

"Vika!" Said Arif in a slightly higher tone.

"Arif doesn't have to be angry. Vika's words are right, we won't come to you. If we expect nothing. Not aunty admitted, the arrival of aunt for something. But no matter how sincere the aunt's apology. Never wipe out twenty years that disappeared!"

"But aunt!" Arif's voice was stamped, as he saw Melda's soft hand holding her hand. Melda stops Arif's anxiety, as if Melda's condition is fine.

"Vika, aunty came not just want to apologize. But aunt wants Vira back in Azzam's arms. Aunt misses Azzam!" Said Melda lantang.

"I've guessed, you came with a hidden intent!" Vika said coldly without a heart.

"Darling!"

"I never hated them. But keep quiet to see Vira's brother hurt. Honestly in my heart I refused!" Vika said to Arif, Arif lowered his head.

"I've been quiet all this time, let me talk tonight. I never kept you away from the Atmaja family. The same advice I asked for tonight. Don't stop me from talking, so I don't stay away from you!" Vika told Arif.

"Mistress Melda, Brother Vira doesn't have what you want!" Said Vika coldly.

"Farah, let me see him!"
