Happy reading ....
*
The atmosphere inside the ballroom was boisterous with applause from the students and parents as the three best students advanced to the front to receive the award. From the seats of the parents, Adisurya and Rianti stared at Haru Annisa who was one of the three students. The girl who used to not even speak English is now asked to speak in front of friends and parents using English of course.
The same thing was felt by the couple Dahlan and Julaikah, Istiqomah's parents. From the lips of both of them were unceasingly grateful for the proud achievement achieved by their daughter. Understandably, initially both Ikah and Dahlan thought Isti's achievements would plummet after separating from Rayhan. But apparently, it became the encouragement of Isti to prove his seriousness in learning.
Raka who was between the two couples smiled faintly. He turned to Adisurya and said, "Happy Om-Tante!"
Adisurya nodded with a smile, while Rianti was busy capturing the moment with his cellphone. Raka turned to look at Dahlan, and said, "Happy Abi-Umi!"
"Thank you, Nak Raka," Ikah said.
Raka nodded slowly and looked back to the front. Then turned to Raydita who was staring at Annisa with her smile while occasionally whispering to Mela and Tasya.
Raka saw Yuda who was sitting in the back row of Raydita was cool with his phone. Raka decided to approach Yuda because she was bored among the parents.
"Hey, go it alone. Look at Annisa again speech, not polite," muttered Raka.
"Didih, who's Lo? No student, not student guardians. What's in here?" ask Yuda.
"Eh, I'm a student here, two years ago. I'm also Raydita's guardian kalee," delik Raka.
"Guardian? Since when?" yuda Gumam.
"Since the days of jahiliyah. Lo satisfied? By the way, thanks. You already nolongin Dita that night. Unfortunately, the same guy Vio has returned to Australia. I have not had time to reply to their actions," Raka said as she looked at Raydita. Yuda smiled faintly hearing it.
The event was festive. After the arrangement of the event was completed, the students and students took photos with their friends and parents.
Annisa received many congratulations in the form of a bouquet of flowers from students whom she did not know. Since knowing Annisa Adisurya's biological daughter, many parents are interested in her figure. They admired Annisa's simplicity and manners. Not a few of them dream of Annisa being his future daughter-in-law. Beautiful, smart, polite, and many more advantages they see from Annisa. Who would resist Annisa's charm?
"Ciee .. many PDKT. Tiny late, Brother Agas can be shear," seduced Mela.
"No," said Annisa. They are currently at the hotel park where the event is taking place.
"What time?"
Annisa turned to look at the voice of someone she knew so well. Her face flushed to see Ghaisan who was stepping towards her with a very beautiful bouquet of flowers.
"Ehhem," dehem Isti teases. So did Annisa's classmates. They moved away slowly, and let Ghaisan freely approach Annisa.
"Happy Graduation, My Lovely" said Ghaisan as he handed the flower to Annisa.
"Thank you, sister" said Annisa shyly welcoming the bouquet.
Raydita walks behind Annisa, and deliberately pushes Annisa who reflexes in Ghaisan's welcome. Laughter and the temptation of Annisa's friends echoed in that place.
Hanpir everyone who saw him felt the romance of Ghaisan and Annisa. But not all were happy, because there were some parents who were in front of the hotel instead sniffed cynically and tried to provoke Rianti.
"Jeng Rianti, why is Annisa allowed to date with inmate children anyway?" ask a student.
"Yes, Jeng. Pity Nisa, if the same son of the fake doctor, there could be no future," said another person.
Rianti felt stupefied by their words. Adisurya who saw it, clasped Rianti's hand and smiled faintly as his wife turned to him.
"They were dating before the case, Mothers. So yeah, let's just say what happened to Doctor Rika was a test for them. I'm up to Annisa. He will do it" said Rianti.
"Jeng Rianti don't you feel sorry for your own child? The boy is not clear about his future. His mother's case will be a shadow of his career later" said a mother who knows who it is.
Adisurya took Rianti's hand and walked towards their car. Raka who accidentally heard that all felt moved by Adisurya's defense of her best friend.
Raka turned to Ghaisan who blushed and helplessly responded to the temptations of Annisa's friends. Yuda who happened to see her, called Raka to take a picture together.
"Hmm, baby Rayhan doesn't exist. If there is him, complete us," as always Yuda.
Isti who heard him lowered his head with a sad face. A year had passed, and during that time there was no news of her lover. Heh! I grinned at laughing at myself. Rayhan was always the lover of the owner of his heart, but he himself did not know what he meant to Rayhan at this time. Maybe the man has a new heart. And if prejudice ripples out, Isti feels weak for a moment.

After taking Annisa home, Ghaisan visits Rida at the hospital. Rika's younger sister looks pleased with the arrival of Ghaisan. Rika opened both her hands wide. Ghaisan approached Rida and hugged her.
"How's aunt?"
"As you can see, my dear. Auntie feels better. Today you came home to congratulate Annisa on graduating, right?" ask Rida flirting.
"Yes, Aunt. That's one of them. In addition, Agas wants to meet his aunt and mother," said Ghaisan while sitting his butt in a chair.
"Ah, yes. How's your mom, Agas? Rika has never come to visit aunty. Actually, the aunt felt this was a bit strange, but the aunt did not dare to ask Dr. Edwin. Worried that Rika is on duty outside the city and bothers her. So the aunt decided to just wait until she came alone," said Rida with a sad look.
Rida is eager to meet Rika. He was unconscious for too long, and did not know the news of his brother.
"Aunties. Actually mama ...."
Ghaisan told me everything very carefully. Rida looks very shocked by what she hears. Rida wiped her tears, then looked at the face of Ghaisan who had gone through all this alone.
"You are patient ...."
"Yes, Auntie," nods Ghaisan.
Meanwhile elsewhere ....
Since Angel was in the same room, Rika's life was not okay. With her shrewd play of words, Angel is able to provoke the other prison dwellers who assume Rika has trapped her. As a result, whatever Rika does can not be separated from the ugliness of her friends.
Rika was frustrated with what she had been going through. He was not even free to follow the activities held by the prison. If it could, Rika desperately wanted to run away from that place. Meeting Angel became a nightmare in his life.
Right now, Rika is in the health room. The room was the most comfortable place for Rika who began to be familiar with the doctors who served there. His friend was being called kalapas (head of the correctional institute) and left Rika in the room.
Every time Rika was in the room, the longing for her profession all along rippled in her heart. The longing for Rika who was very eager to hear from him, especially the longing for Ghaisan who had not come to visit him for a long time.
Even so, Rika was happy because every weekend Ghaisan always called her. However, for two weeks Ghaisan had not contacted him.
'Eh, Aunt. Aunt is aware of that? That aunt will only be a thorn for the future, Agas. Oh yes, aunty did not forget the same words aunt, who said that it is better to die than to have to see Nisa with Kak Agas. For your information, Agas was willing to do anything to be with Annisa. The proof, he's still dating Nisa.'
A glimpse of Angel's words that were very penetrating in Rika's heart echoed in her memory. Worrying about Rika's heart, who is now staring at the bottle of tranquilizers in the medicine cabinet in the room.
"Angel is right, I will only be a thorn for Agas' future. He loved Rianti's daughter very much. I can't possibly make him have to choose between me or Annisa. Yeah-so, what should I do?" tanya Rika monologues.
Ten years is not a short time. He did not want to burden Ghaisan.
Rika's hand trembled as she tried to reach the medicine bottle that had been teasing her. A flash of Ghaisan's face from childhood until now flashed through Rika's mind. So too with the look of Ryan. Rika seems lost in mind considering Ghaisan's sweet smile while with Annisa. His hands trembled violently as he opened the lid of the tranquilizer.
"Mas .. I'm not a good mother to Agas. I will only be a barrier to her happiness. Mas .. i-."
Glug. Glekks. Rika painstakingly swallowed the medicine grains.
