This afternoon, Farida and Nala again conduct a second technical meeting for the marriage of Arjuna and Naziya. Their marriage will be held in two weeks. So, the two families are getting busy preparing all the needs.
From then on, there wasn't much Farida said, unlike usual. I don't know what is so disturbing to his mind, because the marriage of the princess is merely his puppet or a secret that the woman must keep because of Arjuna's sincere request.
“What's the matter with you, Farida?”
Nala's soft voice made her stunned. Farida awoke from the daydream. The woman patted Farida gently on the shoulder, trying to calm her down. Nala had felt the same feeling.
This is the second time for Nala to have a big marriage. Three years ago, Vivian Nareswari—female sister Arjuna had been married, to a coal businessman in Borneo. Similar to Arjuna, Vivian also married when she was 24 years old.
It felt the same, at that time Nala released her daughter. Sadness, joy, fear all mixed into one in the heart of a mother. Therefore, Nala understood Farida's feeling of dread. Moreover, Naziya was the only child.
Farida smiled faintly, shaking slowly with both eyes that started to glaze over. “Suddenly I remember Harris, if he were still here Nala ..” his words were held back, because after that only a clear circle just fell connecting words that could not be expressed.
Nala was the same, the heart of the woman was soft, sensitive very easily filled, moved and felt pain. The water also makes a river in the second corner of the net.
“He will be happy, Farida,” Nala said as she gently stroked Farida's shoulder.
“Thank you, and sorry if the Nazis may be a lot of trouble in the future,” Farida smelled a smile. “She, the careless and childish woman,” she said while holding back a little laughter.
Nala smiled knot. “Our children are not perfect Farida, they have their own disadvantages and advantages. Arjuna is the same, sometimes he is so unable to express his heart, what he wants, what he likes or dislikes. Sometimes I as her mother just do not know what she really wants,” Nala replied.
“Yes, it turns out that it is you, Arjuna has a wise attitude,” praise Farida. He stared at his friend guiltily. Was it right to hide his Nazi attitude first?
Nala took a quick glance and took out a jewelry place coated with red velvet material in the shape of a heart. Handed it in his hand and patted Farida's back gently.
“Receive this, Farida. Firman and I deliberately bought it when I met Naziya at that time. I hope Naziya likes it, this is a gift for my future daughter,”, Nala said.
Farida's hand trembled as she touched the object then opened it slowly. He found a pair of jewel earrings, the model was simple but very elegant. Unable to speak. Only the roar of increasingly heavy tears shed on both of his cheeks.
After saying thank you very sincerely, the two women then embraced fully.

During the night, Naziya and Farida were sitting in the living room of their house. Stick the name sticker on the invitation that they have not had time to label. Their house is still quiet, the big families from the new village will start arriving next week.
Farida recalled, there was something she wanted to give to her beautiful daughter. The woman moved slowly, walking leisurely into the room.
A minute later, Farida came out carrying a jewelry box. Yeah, that's the jewelry box Nala gave her. The eye mark that Nala prepared for Naziya.
“Ziya, Nala leave this for you,” Farida's voice sounds vibrating while thrusting the box to Naziya. His eyes were staring at his daughter who was beginning to look confused.
“Open, son,” Farida smiled. “Nala sincerely wants you to accept it as a gift, accept.”
Naziya took a deep breath, then opened the box slowly. A second later the woman was astonished, her two nets widened in synergy with the lips that came agape.
“Ii-bu ..” Naziya's voice stamped.
Honestly, both eyes of Naziya radiate admiration after seeing the contents of the box. A pair of jewel earrings, beautiful, simple, elegant, in accordance with the character of Naziya. He likes it, wants it. However, as quickly as the wind he closed the box back. “Naziya can't take it, bu.”
Nazi fretting, the woman then put the box on the table. Farida knew the meaning of the Nazi attitude. However, the woman again gave understanding to the Nazis.
“Son, I know what you're feeling now. I felt so ashamed, I wanted to admit everything and apologize to them. But, mother also wanted to trust Arjuna, Ziya. Save it,” said Farida softly.
“Ziya shy mom, Ziya is not worthy of all the kindness from the Arjuna family,” Naziya said while looking away. Beautiful jewel earrings, does it still look beautiful if Nala finds out who Naziya was before?
“At least save it first, later if Arjuna has come. Let Mother plead with Arjuna to let mother tell Nala, before Nala knew from others,” Farida's voice became hoarse.
Naziya turned his head, found the woman who had given birth to him again crying. “Naziya guilty yes ma'am. Forgive Naziya, not the mother who should beg but the Nazis. It's enough Naziya always makes mom restless. Ziya will be responsible, ma'am. Even if you have to beg for forgiveness, all that Ziya will do,” he said while hugging his mother.
Farida took the Nazi's hand. In between the sadness, Farida was very grateful. If Arjuna is someone who has been designated as the soul mate of Naziya, may the man be able to give happiness to his daughter, guide her and continue to love her as sincerely as possible.
“Nak, soul mate is unique. We do not know when it will come, to whom and what will happen. Do’alah, may Arjuna really be the right man to accompany you, guide you and make you happy,” said Farida.
Naziya nodded, minutes later he stretched his embrace. “Bu, tonight, and the next night, Ziya wants to sleep with mom,”. Her lips curled up a sweet smile.
Farida chuckles at a glance, “Why? You want to learn to sleep in bed?” godanya, suddenly made Naziya blush in shame.
“IIh, mother, not so, Ziya just..”.
“Iya .. I understand. Fearing after marriage, Arjuna immediately took you to his house, right?” cut Farida. Then they embraced back.
“Suddenly, Ziya kangen dad, mom. Let's make a pilgrimage first, Mom. Arjuna asked to wait for him to come home, but, not when Arjuna came home we were not allowed to see ya ma'am,”celoteh Naziya.
Farida just smiled to herself. Then he spoke again. “We go first, after you get married, then you go together Arjuna to the tomb of father, yes.”
“Ready, Ziya will convey to Juna, bu.”
They were still there, in the living room with a pile of invitation cards. Storytelling, crying, not infrequently tucked crisp laughter in each of their stories. It's been a beautiful night for Farida and the Nazis.
