This morning as before, Ammar delivered Jihan first, and then she went to the office. Jihan walked into the Ritz Corporation building with a bright face, she remembered Ammar's attitude that had recently been getting sweeter to her.
As before, Ammar repeatedly praised his homemade breakfast, the thick-browed man even ate a lot. Yesterday Ammar also asked for Jihan's phone number and gave her number so that they could communicate with each other even though they were far apart. Now Ammar so often smile and chat to Jihan. Isn't that a good step forward in their relationship?
Jihan felt very happy, she was unceasingly grateful for the change in her husband's attitude.
Jihan walked quickly towards the locker, suddenly her phone rang. Jihan frowned when she saw the name on her phone screen.
“Ummi? Tumben phone early in the morning like this?”
Jihan hurried to answer the incoming call from Salma.
“Halo. Assalamualaikum, Ummi.” Saya Jihan's.
“Wa’ aleikumsalam, Kids. Are you busy?”
“No Umi, I just got to the office. What did Ummi call me this early in the morning? Tumben once?”
“So your schoolmate came home, she was looking for you. Just got his guy home.”
“Teman me? Who, Ummi?” Ask Jihan curiously.
“Name Abbas. His son is a bit of a woo.”
Jihan flabbergasted. “Abbas? Keep saying what, Ummi?”
“He just wants to see you. But since you didn't exist, he just asked for your phone number and promised to call you. After that he went home.”
Jihan was pensive, she was trying to digest this situation.
“Why, Son? Is there a problem?”
“No, Ummi. Nothing, kok.” Jihan Sahut.
“Ya already, Ummi just want to say that.”
“Iya, Ummi. Thank you.”
“Then Ummi closes first, huh? Assalamualaikum.”
“Wa’ aleikumsalam, Ummi.”
Jihan was stunned after her conversation with Salma ended, she still wondered why Abbas had suddenly looked for her after a long disappearance?
And this proves that Miranda's saying that Abbas is dead is not true.
Trings.
Jihan gasped when her phone rang again, there was a message coming in.
“JIHAN, HOW ARE YOU? IT'S ABBAS, YOUR OLD SCHOOLMATE. YOU REMEMBER, RIGHT?”
The hijab-wearing woman immediately replied to a message from Abbas. It's an opportunity for him to ask Abbas whereabouts so that Ammar can meet him and apologize.
“I REMEMBER, KOK. THANK GOD, GOOD NEWS. YOU YOURSELF HOW ARE YOU? WHERE THE HELL ALL THIS TIME? WHY SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR?”
A message from Abbas came back in.
“AKU GOOD. I CAN'T TELL YOU HERE. HOW ABOUT WE MEET THIS AFTERNOON? ANYWAY, THERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT I WANT TO TELL YOU. BUT YOU ALONE, DON'T BRING ANYONE ELSE. CAN?”
Jihan flinching, she tried to weigh up Abbas's invitation. Moreover, his heart was curious about what the gemulai man wanted to say.
“PLEASE. LET ME KNOW WHERE WE MEET AND WHAT TIME. BUT REMEMBER, YOU ALONE.”
“OK, I'LL CALL.”
After he finished messaging Abbas, Jihan continued his steps towards the locker. In fact Jihan was not too close to Abbas at school, because the guy was more lonely in order to avoid ridiculing his friends. But Jihan always tries to be friendly and kind to him even though she often avoids Jihan.

Jihan hastily exited the Ritz Corporation building after getting a home permit earlier than usual. He had also sent a message to Abbas and invited his schoolmates to meet at the cafe not far from his office, so as not to waste much time on the trip.
Jihan also told Ammar that she had an appointment with Abbas and would ask him to meet with Ammar, so that her husband could apologize. He asked Ammar to secretly come to the place he had mentioned.
At a cafe, a man wearing a hat and mask waved his hand when he saw Jihan coming.
“Hai, Jihan! Here!”
Jihan smiled and stepped closer to the man, even though he was wearing a hat and mask that covered half of his face, Jihan could guess he was definitely Abbas. Because of his gurgling body.
“Sorry to have waited.” Jihan.
“Nothing. It's a drink first, I've ordered for you.” The man thrust a glass of orange juice in front of Jihan.
“Thank you.” Jihan drank orange juice because she was thirsty.
“Sorry, yes, if I wear a mask. You see I have the flu and cough, fear of transmitting to others.”
“Iya, nothing.” Reply Jihan with a laugh.
“Oh, yes. I heard he said you were married, huh?”
Jihan nodded and smiled. “Iya. I'm married to Ammar.”
“Ammar? Ammar our schoolmate?”
“Iya. He also wants to meet you and apologize for his behavior first.” Said Jihan.
“Already. I've forgotten everything. The past let pass.”
“But Ammar still feels guilty.”
“I've forgiven him and the others.”
“Thank you, yes. You are indeed ba ... aawww ...” Suddenly Jihan screeched while holding her suddenly throbbing head.
“You why?”
“My head is suddenly sick and dizzy once.” Answer Jihan.
“You sick? I'll take you to the hospital!”
“Not done!” Reject Jihan.
“Don't refuse, Jihan! I'm afraid you're why-why!”
The man got up and rushed to get Jihan out of the cafe. To be honest Jihan wanted to rebel but her body began to relax, and suddenly limp, until finally unconscious.
