Xx Hotel, Central Jakarta.
At the dining table of the hotel restaurant where Ardo was staying, Ardo is now with Jinan and both of Ria's parents are having dinner together.
If during the day Ardo could not take Jinan for a walk around the city of Jakarta, then tonight he managed to invite the woman to dinner together, although Sila and Dedy also attended the dinner. After all, thanks to Dedy and Sila, he could invite Jinan to dinner tonight.
Ardo asked Dedy for help to invite Jinan to dinner outside because tomorrow morning he will fly again to his home country, Turkey. He wanted to spend his time here with Jinan before they split up tomorrow. Although not able to be alone like a lover couple that he often saw in every restaurant he often visited, at least the presence of Jinan nearby was more than enough.
"Maybe not now, but someday I will make my dream come true" Ardo said.
When the time has shown at nine o'clock at night, Jinan and Ria's parents say goodbye to go home to Ardo. They can't go home more than nine because Ayla's baby is with them. Even the night breeze is not good for a baby who is almost three months old like Ayla.
Ardo escorted them to the entrance of the hotel. Not to forget Ardo opened the car door for Jinan when Dedy's car had arrived at the door of the hotel.
"Thank you" said Jinan.
"For?"
"For his dinner and also for his door" said Jinan, with his eyes fixed on the car door.
Ardo laughed softly. "No problem. I'm the one who should be thanking you for meeting my dinner invitation."
Jinan replied to Ardo with a faint smile.
"Come in, I'll put your son's stroller in the trunk."
Jinan nodded and immediately got into the car. As Dedy's car began to drift away, Ardo entered the hotel and walked to his room on the twenty-fifth floor.
...
In the car.
The atmosphere in the car was silent, there was only the roar of the engine filling the void at night. Everyone in the car is busy with their activities. Dedy is focused on the steering wheel and the road ahead, while Sila and Jinan are busy with their respective phones
Tired of her phone, Sila raised her head and glanced at the rearview mirror in the car to see Jinan sitting in the passenger seat. Please put the phone in the bag, and put the bag on the dashboard of the car.
"Jinan," call Sila facing Jinan.
Jinan raised his head. "What's up, Mi?" ask Jinan.
"Do you love Ardo?" ask Sila suddenly.
???
Jinan was stunned by Sila's sudden question. Please raise both eyebrows to ask for an answer from Jinan.
"Why did Mami suddenly ask like that?"
"Ria said that Ardo was your future husband. But Papi says you can't accept Ardo's feelings. Why sweetheart? Ardo is a good man. Why don't you take it."
Jinan glanced at Dedy who was still focused on his wheel, then he turned his eyes back to Sila.
"Jinan ..m., Jinan ..."
"Jinan, you have to open your heart, honey. Not all men are like your ex-husband. Mami is very sure that Ardo is the perfect man that God sent specifically for you, and you will be very sorry if you release Ardo bergitu alone for other women."
"Mommy is too much" said Jinan slowly with a amused laugh.
"Jinaaan, Mami's not kidding, honey. Anyway Mami supports you a thousand percent with Ardo. And anyway, you must also want to be with Ardo. Point and no comma."
Please rearrange the sitting position facing forward. He did not want Jinan to dispute his words. If Jinan still continues to doubt his feelings, then he will intervene.
"Jinan has been praying for two nights istikharah, Mi."
Sila and Dedy frowned hearing Jinan's sudden words. A second later Sila turned her body towards Jinan with her surprised face. While Dedy at that time was still focused on the wheel.
But even though his gaze focused forward, but the ears of the Son also did not want to miss a word that came out of Jinan's mouth. He also talked to the two women.
"Sholat istikharah?" ask Please make sure.
Jinan nodded her head in a bit of embarrassment.
"You want to accept Ardo, son?" ask Sila enthusiastically.
"Em, Jinan hasn't gotten any leads from Jinan's istikharah, Mi."
"Jinan darling, listen yes. Your mother used to say to Mami. He said that the guidance of istikharah was not just from a dream. But also from here, "pointing Sila to her chest. "on our hearts, on our feelings, son."
Her mom?
Jinan's eyes were slightly teary. She suddenly missed her mother and father. A second later, Jinan rubbed the corner of her watery eyes, lest she cry in front of Sila and Dedy.
"Mommy asked you, did you feel that there was something different in your heart when you were with Ardo?" ask Please regardless of Jinan's teary eyes.
Actually he knew that Jinan missed his parents when he talked about his mother, but Sila deliberately ignored that. Honestly, he also misses his neighbor and good friend. But he also did not want to get too drawn up in these heartbreaking memories. Sila's focus now is simply to return Jinan's parents' favor and plan a beautiful future for her two children.
"How's Jinan?" ask Sila again because Jinan is just silent.
"Jinan had no idea what kind of feeling Mami meant. But ... but Jinan felt a little comfortable with Ardo's kindness to Jinan all this time, Mi."
"Well," cried Sila quickly and managed to make Jinan surprised. "Maybe that's God's guidance on your istikharah prayer, son."
"But, Mi. Em ... Jinan's early marriage, mas Romi and aunt Linda are also so good with Jinan."
Jinan lowered her head while folding her lips inwards. Really, he unintentionally said that to Sila. He did not mean to equate Ardo with his past.
"Geez, why are you so stupid, Jinan," Jinan's inner regret.
"Jinan, don't ever hit everyone's nature or attitude, son. Ardo and Romi are different. Ardo's a step man, Jinan. He is good to all of us because he is a good man. And Romi? From the beginning when you said with Mami will marry Romi, Mami has not agreed with your decision. But the restless you want to marry that man for the reason of giving back to that Linda."
"Which Mami said has a point too, Jinan. You can't hit all human nature. Despite the failure of your first marriage, if you are comfortable with Ardo, what are you waiting for. Don't let you regret it someday" said Dedy who agreed with his wife's words.
Jinan looked at baby Ayla for a moment, then he exhaled and looked back at Sila.
"Jinan will be, Mi, Pi."
"We always pray for you, dear" Sila said, followed by a nod of her head by Dedy.
Please change his sitting position as before, then he let out a long sigh.
"If Mami, Papi, and Ria had not gone to Japan, you might not have been a widow at such a young age. Mami feels very guilty with your parents, Jinan," Sila said as she looked to her left side out the window.
