“Sadik, how can you be there?” call Rey to her siblings when she arrives in front of her sister's school. The twins immediately approached him.

“Kakak pick us up, right?”

They both shook hands with him, “You want to go home brother? Meet Sister Marwa and your nephew,”

Both of them smiled cheerfully because they were rarely invited to his house by his parents. He opened the car door for his sister. “Kak Marwa not coming, sister?”

Rey closes the back car door and walks in just like that, “Lho, Mama?” said his little brother. “Mama when is it here?”

“Mama from earlier here. Your brother doang who came down. Mama's going to your sister's house,”

Long time Rey didn't pick up her sister at school like now. “Mama has told the driver that you do not need to be picked up because Kak Rey wants to pick you up and make sure you go to his house,”

“Audri healthy, sis?”

“Alhamdulillah healthy. My sister's going there next week. But look at this, Mama herself who told me to go there and make sure they both nginap,”

“So, like people do not want to meet family,” protests his other sister.

He relented when his sister protested as she is today. Nabila and Salsabila always protested with him when he had not brought his children and his wife back home. They were both close to Marwa. But Rey who wants to spend time with her small family when at home is actually bullied by her two sisters who say that she did not bring her nephew home for a long time.

Upon arrival at home, Rey sees the person who delivered her car who was driving down the red car. Smaller bodies are more appropriate for women. “Kak Rey buy car?” ask Nabila.

“Silence yes! Don't be noisy, it's your brother's birthday present!” my mother explained. He no longer needed to explain that to his two younger siblings and got out of the car. Rey asks the man to put his car in front of the garage with a beautiful ribbon as well. But, Rey wants to close the car first let his wife assume that he forgot his birthday.

Once the car was closed, the person who delivered the car also said goodbye to him and he immediately invited his family in.

Slowly, she entered the room when she had invited her mother and her sisters to wait in the living room. Their assistant has also asked him to prepare drinks and also lunch for Rey's two sisters.

It is true that his son and wife are taking a nap. Rey kissed his sleeping wife's cheek. He felt guilty because from this morning he saw his wife's pouting expression. Not to mention it looks like Marwa gave a birthday code by discussing what day it is. Rey pretended to forget everything.

At the restaurant, she explained to her mother that she was pretending to forget her birthday, Marwa. Slowly, his wife opened her eyes and gently rubbed them so as not to get dizzy. “When do you come home?”

“Sleep is okay!”

“You've eaten?”

“Udah was the same, Mama. Mama is under the same twins,”

Marwa tried to get up from her bed and take her headscarf. He went to the bathroom to wash his face. Once done, Marwa ignored her. In Rey's mind, “You're really mad at me?” he asked himself when he saw his wife just coming out. While Audri who sleeps in his own bed that already has a barrier.

Rey followed where his wife was going. As soon as he entered the kitchen and saw his wife sitting in the living room with her mother. That expression was indeed so well conditioned by Marwa who sulked because Rey forgot her birthday. His mother also seemed to understand that.

“Kak, Audri where?”

“Again sleep dear,”

“Build ya?”

“Adik, don't ya! Later crying, you know,” perematan mama.

Marwa then got out of her seat and asked permission to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the two. Because she did not know that her mother-in-law and her sister would come to this house during the day.

“Rey, is your wife really angry? The proof is that he cuekin you like that,” said his mother who was then replied with a nod by her two sisters. Rey then chose to get out of the living room to open the car cover and let the ribbon be a welcome Marwa later decorated on top of the car and also in front of it. Rey did want to let Marwa open the lid. But when he saw his wife who had such a craving, Rey became uncomfortable and chose to open the cover instead.

“Marwa, busy no?”

“I'm cooking again, Mas,” replied Marwa from the kitchen. “Called, Mama nih!” her lie. Instead, his mother smiled when she saw Rey about to give the gift to the wife.

“What's up, Ma?” ask Marwa politely.

“Can you get Mama the bag that missed in her car Rey?” his mother seemed to be able to work together this time. Rey is eager to give the gift now to his wife.

Marwa nodded and left. But not looking at Rey from now on. Nagita realizes that her daughter-in-law may indeed be angry with Rey's attitude that pretends to forget her birthday, Marwa.

Once out of the house, she lowered her head as she was still annoyed with Rey forgetting her birthday. Marwa paused for a moment when she lifted her head and dropped the car keys given by her mother-in-law when she saw a red object that was so striking that it was so shiny decorated with a ribbon that was so beautiful. On the plate there is a sign of his name accompanied by a red love sign as well.

Rey wasn't kidding about her birthday present. “Mas!” call lirih. But Rey stood behind him along with his in-laws and his two younger siblings. Her body was limp, and her husband hugged her. “I told you that I will not forget your important day. Don't think about it, darling! How could I forget you anyway? I will never forget my own promise, besides you why snack?”

Marwa shed her tears in disbelief at the gift given by Rey. She thinks Rey forgot her birthday.

“No need to cry! Shame on sister I know no,”

Marwa smiled but her tears could not stop coming out. Rey kissed his wife's forehead, “Happy birthday dear. I'm sorry I upset you because the car was supposed to come a few days ago. But I bought it on purpose today and it can be delivered today. I've been gone by then, I've talked about it too, but the color you want does not exist. Get it from the center first. As a result, I can thank you at the right time,”

Unashamed, Marwa hugs Rey and the man kisses her forehead even in front of her mother and her two younger siblings.

There was the sound of Audri's cries waking up.

“Audri, wake up, Mas,”

“Not crying anymore baby! I did not intentionally make you sad. Sorry no cake and so on, I just have this,” Rey pulled out a flower from earlier that she tried to hide. He saw that his wife was standing dumbfounded in front of the car he was giving her. He bought flowers to his wife but she hid them.

“Thank you, Mas,” isak Marwa who still does not believe the gift given by Rey.

“Thank you too same, Mama!”

Marwa wiped her tears and went straight to her mother-in-law and hugged her just like that. “Thank you, Ma!”

“Sama-sama unfortunately, Mama. May you always be happy with your child and your little family. Happy birthday dear. Hopefully at this increasing age you are given a long life, health and happiness that will never be interrupted. Mom loves you, son. Mama can't say anything to you,”

Nagita said that intentionally. But she and her husband have also prepared a boutique for Marwa. He knew that his son-in-law had a business for Muslim fashion. So she and her husband had prepared a new shop for his daughter-in-law. Marwa's been fighting this far for Rey's happiness too. So, it was not comparable to what she and her husband gave.

Azka did have this plan, she also prepared it for her daughter-in-law a long time ago. They never gave anything to Marwa all this time. So, it was time for them to give a birthday present to the son-in-law. Rey doesn't know about the prize either. Let them both not know about the gift to be given by him and Azka.

Rey took his wife and mother in again because his two younger siblings had not had lunch since they had returned home from school. They must have waited a long time to be picked up from school.

As soon as they go inside again. They saw the twins playing together with Audri in the living room.

“Dear granddaughter has woken up,” greeting Nagita when she saw Audri who was sitting on the carpet and playing together with the twins.

“Dek, eat first yuk! Sister is ready for lunch,” take Marwa. “Mama also eat yes!”

“Udah darling. Mama had lunch with Rey. So let your sister, you also have lunch baby!”

“Already, Ma,” said Marwa then her sister stood up after Audri was taken by her mother-in-law. “Sholat ?”

“Udah dong brother. At the school,”

Marwa embraces her two sisters-in-law whose height is almost the same as her. Both are so tall and their bodies are almost as full.

“Ma, thank you very much yes,”

“Make what?”

“That one, Ma. Because I feel so guilty about him. I want to give you a surprise,”

“Mama has been done so with your Papa before, Rey. So mom already knows the wits of guys. That's why Mama said the car was a lot. It was all because of a gift from Papa,”

“I'm really grateful that Mama just helped me. And regarding Papa, that was also very helpful, Ma. Because Papa always said that I should keep my promise with my wife,”

“If you already know that, then Mama does not need to say it to you again, Rey! Yes, you are as happy as you can!”

Sure enough, before long Rey took her son who had stretched out his hand asking to be carried by her. Audri was close to her and this time asked to be carried.

“Your child is already big as it turns out,”

Rey nodded slowly. “Iya, Ma,”

“Means Mama's life ration with Papa is getting reduced yes,”

Rey lowered her head. The more time passed, he did not realize that his parents were getting older. He was also unaware that his age was also decreasing in this world. No one knows when death will come. “Ma, don't talk like that huh!”

“After the parents are not there. I hope you can take care of your sisters. Like Om Dimas who always take care, Mama,”

Rey nodded slowly. “God willing, Mama,”

“Rey, sorry about the past that you have felt first yes!”

“Mama why say that? I don't want to talk about things that have passed, yes, Ma. I don't want it to just make Mama sad,”

Mama nodded slowly, “Mama dear to you all,”

“I love Mama too. Dear Papa and also my sister,”

I don't know why she got goosebumps when her mom said that. In the past, he had heard stories about his father who was reluctant to get married because he was too happy to play women. In fact, he was also almost aborted by the father because he did not want Rey's presence at that time. But with the toughness of his mother's heart. He is finally in this world. Rey never hated her old father. He realized if indeed the marriage of his parents' first two is because of his presence due to the actions of the father. Let him and his parents know.

For a moment he sighed as he watched his wife return again and also bring the other food to the dining table. “Ma, cicipin yes! My made nastar,”

Nagita nodded and saw the artificial nastar of her son-in-law was appetizing. In addition to being smart for other fields, Marwa's advantage is this. Making meals at home and rarely seeing Rey eat snacks because Marwa always makes food at home.

It was not wrong when Dimas said he wanted to match Rey with his friend's child who turned out to be the woman who had been sought by Rey. That soul mate will never go where. Because God has outlined destiny for both of them. Therefore they both deserve to be happy in their own way and there will never be anything that separates, other than God. That's what I believe. Just like he and Azka used to think that he would never come back again. But God said so. Instead, God gives another chance for the two of them to be happy and this time to live old together.
