"Oh yeah, how are Umi and Abi?" ask Aini.

Linda sadly told me, "Umi didn't exist three years ago. If Abi Alhamdulillah is still healthy, fit despite his age is above the head of 7. Still diligent sports, jogging."

"Innailaihi wa innailaihi roji. Sorry, I don't know. So it makes you sad, huh? I was sad, Umi was like my parents too, "Aini looks sad. His eyes looked bright, recalling his memories with Umi Linda.

Still attached to her memory, the friendly and gentle face of Umm Linda, generous smile, always happy to welcome her, always glorifying guests by giving treats. Makes her feel comfortable every time she goes to Linda's house.

'Ah, it's a pity that I couldn't see her in her last moment, ' Aini regretted.

Finally, the two exchanged mobile numbers each other, so as not to lose contact again. Then the two continued to talk to each other about their lives since they separated. After being satisfied with nostalgia, Aini finally said goodbye and promised to visit often. Similarly, Linda promised to visit Aini's house.

Not to forget he bought some gamis stels and veils designed by his old friend, Ira. Complete with a brooch that looks so beautiful in her eyes.

A week later

Aini and Rima come to visit Linda's house. After hearing her mother's story that Ummi Ira and Mama Rima had been friends since High School, Rima became curious, wanting to see the Ira family shop as well.

Ira who was busy arranging flowers was surprised by the sound of someone familiar greeting her.

"Assalamualaikum, Ira, "greet Rima and Aini together.

Hearing the greeting, made him pause his activities and turn to the two people. After recognizing them Ira immediately smiled happily.

"Eh, Rima's sister, Aunt Aini, wa'alaikumussalam," Ira replied.

Rima looked enthusiastic looking at the neatly arranged flower shop. Makes this shop look beautiful. Refreshed. His eyes continued to circulate, nothing escaped his sight. Including when seeing clothes, veils, and other Muslim accessories.

"Well, your shop is beautiful. You deserve to be enthusiastic when you want to join the Fashion Planning unit, "praise Rima, amazed. Ira said thank you.

Netra Rima saw a wedding dress that stood so graceful, she approached him, "Eh, Ir, that was your first wedding dress, right?" ask Rima.

"Yes, brother, but there are no plans to sell. Honey, it reminds me of the first time I made this dress. It's kind of a mood booster when there's no idea what else to do, "Ira explained.

"Oh that's it, yeah, "Rima's just a mangosteen hearing the reason.

"Thank you, Auntie. Rima is also happy to be acquainted with Auntie. It is unexpected that it turns out that mama and Aunt have been friends since High School, " replied Rima politely.

While busy chatting, suddenly Daffa, Ira's eldest brother came to Linda. All eyes turned towards him.

"Mi, her phone from earlier sounds, nih. I fear something is important. Kok, left that way, anyway. This is from Aunt Ratih, just accept it," Daffa reprimanded while handing over the phone that still reads.

"Oh yes, Ummi forgot, thank you," Linda replied as she grabbed the phone from Daffa's hand.

"In the meantime, yeah, I'd like to take this call first, "great Linda. Aini just nodded.

Daffa went back into the house. Continue his work in front of his laptop.

'Assalamualaikum, Miss Linda, how are you? I'm Ratih, ' greet the person across first.

'Wa'alaikumussalam, oh Bu Ratih. I'm sorry I just picked up, the phone just happened to be left in my room, while I was in the store, " replied Linda, feeling bad.

'Oh, that's okay, ma'am. I understand, "answered the woman who turned out to be named Ratih.

'Oh, yes, can I help you?' ask Linda.

'Look, Mom. Next month my oldest daughter is getting married. The plan wants to ask for help from the mother to decorate the building where the wedding took place. The concept is semi garden.

'Aamiin. All right, I'm closing the phone, yeah. Tomorrow we continue again. Assalamualaikum, ' said Ratih. After hearing the greeting reply, Ratih closed his phone first.

After that, Linda went back to meet Aini. Rima and Ira were also seen still chatting while observing Ira who was busy arranging flowers. Some of the finished ones were arranged in place neatly by two shopkeepers.

"I'm sorry, yes, " Linda told Aini.

"It's okay, it's normal, times, "Aini replied.

As if remembering something, Aini asked,

"Oh yeah, Lin, who was that boy? Who delivered your phone?" ask Aini.

"Oh, that's my eldest son, Ira's brother. Name's Daffa. She's been in college, almost done, " Linda replied.

"Oh, so how many kids are you?" ask Aini.

"Three, the first Daffa, the second Ira, and the youngest were also men, still in fourth grade. His name is Raihan, " replied Linda.

"Loh, your son is already in college, and when are you getting married?" ask Aini wonder.

"Pas graduated from High School. But continue to go to college until graduation. My husband doesn't forbid, " replied Linda.

"Oh, panties. Well, Ira means own woman, dong. Must be rame at home. If my son is only one, yes Rima is, " cried Aini.

"Yes, thank God, " replied Linda.

"Awhile, I called my children first, yes, "grove Linda while stepping inside the house, calling Daffa and Raihan.

Shortly thereafter, Linda returned with her two sons.

"Well, these are my kids. Daffa, Raihan, this is Ummi's best friend in High School. Just met again now, after Ummi graduated High School. Her name is Aunt Aini, " Linda introduced Aini to her two sons.

Daffa smiled politely as he cupped his hands together, a sign of deep shaking hands. Aini also followed the Daffa movement. While Raihan approached Aini, while kissing the back of Aini's hand with reverence.

Then, Aini also introduced her daughter, Rima.

Daffa and Rima made a gesture like that, cupping each other's hands, shaking hands at a distance. While Raihan kissed the back of Rima's hand, as he did to Aini earlier. Thought, since Raihan was a child, so Rima unhesitatingly greeted him, while gently stroking his head.
