Father To Sapphira
Former In-laws

After four days of treatment, Zein was finally allowed to go home. His wounds are also starting to improve. It only takes control a few times to replace and monitor the wound. Zein's facial condition was also restored. Leaves a slight scar and a bluish tint of bruised marks.

Zein's stabbing case has not been developed. To date, the police have not found the whereabouts of the perpetrator. The police also placed several guards around Risa's residence to anticipate the actions of the perpetrators.

Safira for a while always participated wherever Risa went. He never left it to his parents or Manda. Suffice their supervision to focus on Zein, so as not to repeat the same incident. Risa forbids both her parents from opening the stall until the perpetrator is found.

Risa is busy at the Cafe checking the financial statements accompanied by Tia. Sometimes his eyes turned to look at Safira who was cool playing a puzzle.

"Mbak Risa's. This is an H-3. Masa' Mbak Risa keep going to the store anyway ? How's the wedding preparation ?". Said Tia who is still loyal to accompany Risa in working on her report.

"This is also you Tia. If I don't feel dizzy myself, I won't even intervene, right ?". Risa's answer made Tia smile - a smile of her own.

Tia's habit is that when there is a lot of spending, he will be confused in adding income. Though the record is clear and detailed. It's just that when the summation, there will be numbers tucked away and make Tia a fool.

"I think I can add one employee specifically for this section. Let's focus on managing the cafe". Risa's proposal while ending her work.

"Thank you, Miss Risa. I really want that too. But afraid to take it". Answer Tia. "So, for Risa's wedding day, Cafes and Shops are closed huh Ma'am ?".

"Yes close. No reason, I can't go to my wedding". Said Risa with a smile.

"Dong, Ma'am. I'll take another child".

Door opens. One of the female employees who had hijab appeared. "Sorry, buk Risa I'm interrupting. Outside there are those who are looking for Risa's buk. He said his sister-in-law was Risa's". The employee was polite.

Eyebrow Risa linked. He seemed to think for a moment. Brother Mira ? or even Madam Nani. Nani's mother is Arya's brother. Sometimes it is often looking for Risa and always mention her is Risa's sister-in-law. In reality, they are former inmates.

Risa rushed out of the room. Previously he entrusted Safira to Tia to accompany him to play. Risa follows her employees' steps towards one of the visitor's desks. The employee invited Risa and pointed her hand at the table where Risa's guests were waiting. Risa was still looking at the back of the woman who was looking for her. He was still trying to remember the figure before him.

"Same..."

Call a woman from behind. Risa also turned her body to see who the owner of the voice was. Risa gasped when she saw the owner of the voice.

"Mbak Nani ?".

"Yes. Come sit down, Sa. How are you doing ?".

"Alhamdulillah, I'm healthy. How's your own mom ?"

"Alhamdulillah, Ma'am also healthy".

Nani embraces Risa's arm and invites her to sit near the table she has ordered. His steps came to a halt when he found out who the figure that the woman sitting behind him was.

"Why ? Shocked ?". Said the middle-aged woman when she saw the look on Risa's face.

"I'm so sorry to meet you. But because of one thing, so I'm meeting you to make sure". His tone sounded haughty. The middle-aged woman did not show her friendly face at all. "Who is the man who will marry you ? Does he know all about you ? The man who will marry you is a lowyer. Single ? Or Duda ?".

Not a word came out of Risa's mouth. His throat felt choked. Risa set her breath many times to suppress her emotions. After all, the middle-aged woman had once been her mother-in-law.

"Did she know you were barren?", asked Ria again.

"Sorry, Ma. It seems that it's not all Mama's business. Since Arya and I are officially divorced, it means that our relationship is over. And Mama doesn't need to know who's gonna be my chaperone". Risa said with a very careful. He knew, facing a person like his former in-laws had to be calm and certainly mind draining.

"It's so arrogant of you, Risa. I just want to take it to you, so that your marriage can last. You have to be honest with your future husband, especially your prospective in-laws should know about your circumstances. Let your family not be ashamed because her daughter's marriage failed many times". Said rising.

"Enough, Ma. I appreciate your attention and care. Thank ye. But I think, Mama does not need to bother taking care of my personal affairs. Better Mama focus with Mbak Nani. She needs more of my mom's attention than I do". Risa forced her smile.

His heart was so rumbled at this moment. Her former parents-in-law's treatment never changed for her. Always saying bitter and painful. Not yet his words that always say that Risa barren.

"You..."

"Lad..."

The sound of the cry of a child stopped Ria's sentence. He turned to the long black-haired girl who was running towards the man he called Papa. Ria's heart rippled slightly when she saw the girl in the man's sling. The man turned his head. Ria threw away her face for fear of being caught watching them.

"Darling, you have a guest ?". Said the man and immediately made Ria turn her head. He watched the man before him who was staring at Risa. While Risa just smiled while nodding. The man was Rendy who was carrying Safira.

"It's like I'm with Fira waiting there, huh ?". Said Rendy while pointing at the table near the corner of the Cafe.

Risa simply smiled and nodded in response to Rendy's remark. Then the two walked towards the table at the corner of the cafe. Ria was still looking at the departure of Rendy and Safira. His eyes were fixed on Safira. There was a strange feeling running through him when he saw Sapphira. A second later he started to wake up.

"It turns out your candidate is a widower ? Pantes only you look PeDe married her. But fits. The same marriage widow Two. Have another child. So you will not be required to have children with your parents-in-law". Ria smiled a sinister smile on her lips.

Risa gasped at Ria's words. But he immediately controlled himself, considering that Ria never knew the truth. He kept calming himself so his emotions wouldn't overflow. Other than that he didn't want any commotion in his cafe, he also thought more of respect for the older people.

"Mama needs to know. People who were married for ten years and had not been blessed with a child, it could not be said to be barren. Especially those who have been married for two years. Because of the affairs of sustenance and the descendants of God who governs. If God had willed, no one could have prevented it".

Ria rounded her eyes hearing the sentence that came out from the mouth of her daughter-in-law's spell. His jaw was shaking to hold back the anger. His hands were already clenched and ready to float. Nani rubbed her mother's arm to give her peace.

"I ask for my mother's blessing. Also hopefully Mama and Mbak Nani can be present at my wedding".

That was all Risa could say to her former father-in-law. He would rather be quiet than have to muddy the atmosphere. And Nani, can't do anything with all the actions her mother did. Ria got up and left Risa.

"Risa. Please excuse me Mama, will you ? Mbak is also wrong because it has ignored the willingness of Mama to meet you. If only Mama could prevent Mama from coming here, maybe all this will not happen. Again I am sorry Risa. Excuse me".

"Yes, Mother. No problem. I understand it". Said Risa with a smile.

Nani sped up her pace to chase after the mother. After the departure of the two, Risa regulated her breathing many times. Neutralizing his anger that kept forcing him to come out. After feeling relieved, Risa just approached Rendy and Sapphira. He tried to smile in front of them so as not to make the two worry.
