18.40 PM. Jakarta. Indoneszian.
Trouble comes over and over to Son and Linda. Starting from the lies of his son and son-in-law that were revealed, all clients canceled cooperation, investors withdrew their shares, and all, until all the computers in his company suddenly error a few minutes after the hijacking that occurred on the computers. Now Putra is very forced to sell some of his personal assets to compensate for all the losses that occurred to his company, including by mortgaging his house.
Today he and his wife will move into a rented house that is about half the size of his. As for Romi and Aurel, he and his wife did not care where they wanted to live because they still did not accept everything that happened to their lives today. Living on the road to bankruptcy is caused by the unwelcome behavior of her son and daughter-in-law.
In fact, it has been 5 days also Linda and Putra silenced the child and his daughter-in-law. Revoke all facilities provided and forbid the child and son-in-law to meet them before Romi and Aurel can bring them to Jinan, admitting his mistake and apologizing sincerely to Jinan and Ayla. And don't forget the problems that happened to his company if Romi wants to apologize from them.

It is different with the son and his family. Today at the residence of Basir, precisely in the room of a couple who are none other than Ardo and Jinan. Ardo was helping his wife to calm her nervous self. Jinan was nervous because today was her first day going to visit the company where her husband worked. More precisely the company belongs to her husband, because Basir has given the company to his son. And today also she will be officially introduced as the wife of the chief director of Evardo Rafandra. The reason that makes the hijab-wearing woman always act strange this morning.
"Dear, relax. You're not gonna make a speech over the hall, you're just gonna be introduced as my wife. No more," said Ardo with an amused smile.
"I'm just afraid I'm going to take the wrong action while I'm there, Ar. I'm afraid to embarrass you."
Ardo cupped both of Jinan's cheeks. "Nobody will be humiliated. And there will be no shame. You take it easy, they won't dare to do anything that would harm themselves."
"What right?" ask Jinan plain.
"certain. You believe me, right?"
Jinan nodded. Although the nervousness was still there, at least this was better than the previous one. Hopefully her presence in her husband's company does not bring a problem. He really thinks excessively like this because he had never once set foot into any company building. Even the company owned by Putra alone he was never invited there, although only one month married.
"good. Now let's go downstairs. Papa and Mama must have been waiting for us."
Ardo stretched out his hand for Jinan to reach, but instead of reaching for it, Jinan went to the bed to grab Ayla. After that, he grabbed Ardo's hand to immediately go down to the first floor, have breakfast together before going to the office.
Ardo who saw that just smiled while shaking his head. He almost forgot that Ayla was there.
...
"You're careful on the road, Mama and Papa will follow an hour before the introductions start" said Putra as the child and daughter-in-law were about to leave.
"Good, Pa."
"Jaga your wife, Ar. Never leave her alone in a place unfamiliar to her" Elif advised her son.
"Just calm down, Ma. If necessary, Jinan will always go wherever Ardo goes. Including the toilet," joked Ardo who accompanied his small laugh.
"Basar slovenly," said Elif who was also joking.
"All right, we go first, Ma, Pa. Assalamu'alaikum."
Elif and Basir looked at each other. "Tumben," they said compactly. While Ardo was just grinning the horse, he also did not know why every time he was with Jinan he almost never again forgot to say hello as usual.
Now the car carrying Ardo and Jinan has come out of the yard of Basir's house. Along the way to the company, Ardo always smiled while occasionally glancing at Ayla and Jinan who were observing the scenery outside the car from the car glass.
"Ji," call Ardo.
Jinan. "Why?"
Jinan scrunched his forehead, he did not understand the meaning of Ardo's question.
"Are you happy to marry me?" reset Ardo.
"Why are you asking like that?" said Jinan who asked back before answering Ardo's question.
"So far I've been quite happy. And I hope that in the future we will always be happy together."
Ardo smiled and Jinan replied. "Thank you for accepting me."
"I should be thanking you for choosing me. Choosing myself who was just a woman with one child and all her flaws."
Ardo stopped his vehicle on the side of the road. While Jinan who saw it looked astonished.
"Why, Ar? Is there a problem?" I asked a little panicked.
Instead of answering, Ardo grabbed Jinan's right hand. "The last sentence you said about lack. I hope you don't say it again, Ji."
"You know? I love you not because of your single status or your merits. I love you because I love you. Because this heart chose you. Because God has set us up. And because of your kind heart that brought me to your love. So please don't say that again."
Ardo looked at Jinan with a very intense gaze. It was so deep, that it made Jinan petrified with slightly teary eyes. I was moved by the sincerity of the words spoken by her husband.
Is this a gift that God sent for her, he thought.
Without waiting for long, Jinan immediately hugged Ardo's shoulder tightly. He shed all his feelings that he had never felt before.
"I love you, Ar. Don't ever leave me," Jinan said in his arms.
"I will never leave you. We're gonna age together." Ardo pulled his body from their arms. "I love you."
Ardo slowly unites the two of them together. But two seconds later Jinan pulled his body from the touch.
"Why?" ask Ardo in wonder.
"It's on the highway. We better get on with the journey before the police get to us" Jinan said with a flushed face.
Ardo breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Jinan rejected him out of anger or something, it turned out to be just a trivial matter.
