Morning dew rushes to the terrace of the house of Fira. While enjoying the fresh air in the morning, Fira sat in a chair looking at the yard of his house. Beside him was a table on which was a cup of warm vanilla cereal and an Apple-Phone device.
Clear glasses perched in his eyes, wailing, as if he was waiting for someone to come to his house. It was only the first time that Fira would meet a woman whom the late Kirsandi married a second time. Yeah, that woman's coming over here soon.
The ringing of Fira's device sounds a sign of an incoming call. Fira did not immediately see the screen. His gaze was flat on the yard of the house. Instead, immediately press the button to receive a call.
"Assalamu'alaikum, where have you been?" said Fira flat.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, where to? What do you mean, Fir? It's me Medina!" medina.
Fira immediately looked at the screen of the device, it turned out that Medina was contacting him. Fira exhaled, feeling ashamed from the wrong person. Fira thinks the one who called was the woman who was once Kirsandi's second wife.
"Astaghfirullah, I'm sorry, Medina. Who do I think I was?" Fira patted the forehead.
"Hayo, who are you waiting for? Henry, yes," as always Medina.
"Hahaha, no! I'm waiting for Mas Kirsandi's second wife."
"Well, how can you? Just met now?"
"He called me last night. He said he was going to my house. I'm also wondering why that new guy is showing himself now? It's weird!"
"Maybe he'd like to apologize to you, Fir. Maybe have new guts now."
"Yes, I hope."
"How areyou? Kangen, you know, haven't seen me in a long time."
"Alhamdulillah, I'm healthy. Later, yes, I want to surprise you, Velia and the Caliph so we can meet."
"Based on the surprise, hahaha!"
"Woh, yeah, dong. By the way, how are you and the twins?"
"Thank God, we are healthy too. Well, Mikayla and Maysha are getting ready to go to school."
While calling Medina, he took a cup containing vanilla cereal. For a moment Fira drank a mouthful of warm vanilla cereal. Put the cup back on the table.
"Oh, yes. Not feeling, yes, our children have grown up, hehehe," said Fira.
"Hehehe, yes, yes. It's getting older too" Medina said.
"No, ah! We're getting more durable enom, hahaha!"
"Basar buk Ibuk rejects old, yee."
"In fact it still lasts enom, yee."
"In fact, I miss you, Velia and the Caliph. Maybe they're just as busy as the household, huh."
"Looks like. Mbok, yes, you go to Semarang!"
"The desire is--- but Mas Ardian has no holiday agenda. Busy keeps her taking care of the Ayo-Car and Ayo-Jek companies."
"Yes, patience. Busy as well as for the family."
"Yes, anyway."
So engrossed in chatting with Medina over the phone, Fira did not realize that a woman she was waiting for had arrived on the terrace. The woman dressed in a robe and the light brown headscarf did not come alone. He was with a daughter who was the same age as Zema, Fira's second son. The clothes of the mother and son look good.

When Fira turned to the figure of women and girls, Fira was surprised. Paras ayu woman is identical to women who come from the middle east. It seemed like this woman was a little younger than Fira. Fira then turned to the girl whose face was a combination of the woman with Kirsandi. Almost similar to Zema, his son.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ms. Fira," said the woman.
"Medina, we'll call again. I have guests" Fira told Medina by phone. Turn off the phone conversation.
Fira then stood up while tidying up the tunic. "Wa'alaikumsalam, let's go in."
"It's Stepmom Alira, huh, Mommy?" said the cute girl. He looked at Fira carefully.
The woman nodded. While Fira glanced at the girl, it was as if Fira objected to being called a stepmom by the girl. They were already in the living room, Fira invited the two guests to sit on the sofa. The mother and daughter were very happy to face Fira. When seen the aura of Fira looks earthy but elegant.
"Include me Sabrina Khairunnisa. I was once married to Mas Kirsandi and this is my daughter her name is Alira Sabrina. His daughter is the late Mas Kirsandi as well" he said.
"Astaghfirullah, Fira! Is she really Kirsandi's second wife?" Suddenly Ratih came in the middle of them. He rushed to the living room to meet the woman and the girl.
"Okay, it looks like it's going to be complicated. Especially if Zayn and Zema find out," Fira's mind while massaging his forehead.
When Ratih sat next to Fira, Sabrina fell to her knees in front of Fira and Ratih. He looked down while crying. This woman has felt guilty for ever disturbing the household noses of Fira and Kirsandi. It's true, regrets always come later.
The woman opened the bag and offered a photo of her marriage to Kirsandi. Fira and Ratih were surprised to see a photo of Sabrina wrapped in kebaya and not yet hijab with Kirsandi looking handsome wearing a suit. A simple serial wedding is performed in a space. Fira was used to seeing the photo, no longer feeling pain, because for him, the past had passed.
"That's past, son. After all, we also gave everything," said Ratih.
"Why did you just come now? Not from before. Especially when Mas Kirsandi is gone" interrupted Fira.
"I knew in the past that Mas Kirsandi was gone, I also came to the tomb of Mas Kirsandi. But, when there were no you, I didn't have the guts to meet you. I'm afraid of being bullied for taking people's husbands" Sabrina explained.
"It used to suffer more for me, because it has been powerless to face household tempests with Mas Kirsandi. Not to mention paying off Mas Kirsandi's debt. As long as Mas Kirsandi is married to me, spending is not that much. It's so strange. Astaghfirullah, I growled!" Fira then melengos while holding back emotions.
"Fira--- already, don't make him depressed! He's coming to apologize. Explain the past, "reproved Ratih.
"Fira had expected that much spending-until Mas Kirsandi had a lot of debt it must be because of this him!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I used to demand a lot of Mas Kirsandi so that I was more noticed by Mas Kirsandi. I used to be jealous if Mas Kirsandi paid more attention to Mbak Fira" explained Sabrina.
Not having the heart to see her mother crying sobbing, the girl then hugged her mother. Sabrina reciprocates the embrace of Alira, her daughter. Fira apparently objected to seeing the daughter of the late husband's marriage to Sabrina.
"Mas Kirsandi once told me before the accident that his second wife only wanted his property" said Fira.
"Yes, I am interested in Mas Kirsandi starting from his established material. We met at a restaurant, initially we were just coworkers. But the more we came here, the more interested each other. Kirsandi once told me to be a second wife. But, it seems like Mbak Fira did not allow, finally Mas Kirsandi chose to marry me in series," explained Sabrina again.
"Astaghfiullah!" Fira grunts.

"Mbak Fira, do you remember the old days in Karawang Mall? Fira's mother found my daughter. I met with Fira once. Fira just seems to be busy with his friend," said Sabrina.
Fira remembers when she and Naomi were at Karawang Mall. At that time Fira and Naomi were shopping and buying gifts for the Caliph and Velia at the bridal shower. Fira and Naomi have also found a female toddler Zema's age, walking aimlessly. Fira once reprimanded her mother to take care of the toddler. The mother and daughter were right in front of him.
"It's not wrong what I thought at that time, the face of the female toddler was almost similar to Zema. It turns out that this child is Zayn and Zema's half-sister, Fira's inner.
"Mr Fira and Mother, please apologize as much as possible. I will pay the debt paid by Mbak Fira, because I do not want to die in debt" said Sabrina.
"What do you mean?" Fira frowned.
"I actually have leukemia. The doctor diagnosed my age shortly. I am sorry if I have to leave Alira to Fira. But, I'm confused! My family doesn't accept Alira."
"Zayn won't accept having a stepmother, let alone a half-sister like her!" hardik Zay.
Fira, Ratih and Sabrina gasped at Zayn's statement so loudly. The boy was standing behind them. Zayn's gaze was as if there was hatred towards his mother and step-sister. For him, Sabrina and Alira were destroyers of the harmony of his family in the past.
"Zay!" Fira and Ratih were getting stunned.
"His son must live with us! Oh, don't-don't, because of this aunt-cause Daddy's always rude and sick to Mama! Zayn is not that stupid" Zayn said.
"Zayn, that's not polite!" tegur Ratih's.
Zayn went by while shaking his feet. The boy went into the room. Instantly Zayn slammed the door of the room violently. He was really angry with the presence of Sabrina and Alira. Fira and Ratih can only stroke the chest. Sabrina fell silent and still hugged her daughter.
"If your son lives here. Go on, where are you going?" said Fira.
"I live in a hostel. Now I just work at the Restaurant So Stop by" Sabrina said.
"Restaurant So Stop by?" tanya Fira then shrugged both shoulders of Sabrina, for Sabrina to sit beside her. "I used to work there too, I haven't been there in a long time. Is there still Mama Fani? I used to be his assistant manager."
"Not there, I'm also there just a waiter."
"Oh, that's it."
"Sabrina, stay with us here. Zayn's business, later I can overcome," said Ratih.
"But, Mom, I don't deserve it here" Sabrina said.
"Nothing lives here. You and Alira are in the room with Lefia. Let Lefia have her friend. Lefia's our family's personal assistant."
"Yes, if you say that, I can't do anything. Although to be honest, I still object to the presence of you and your son," said Fira.
"Fira, there's no harm in us helping Sabrina and Alira. Even if Sabrina was wrong with you in the past. Now your status is both widows. Think, Sabrina and Alira are also women. The outside world is hard, it's good that we love a place worthy of them" explained Ratih.
"I beg for guidance. I really want to repent. My life is already sinful." Sabrina is sobbing.
"God willing, we are here to improve each other because of God, yes." Ratih rubbed Sabrina's back to calm Sabrina down.
Fira was silent while looking at Sabrina, Alira and Ratih hugging each other. If you see the lethargic and innocent Alira, the heart of Fira so not heart. Fira was pensive, how grateful he was, Zayn and Zema were still in a decent life.
Fira sat down while waiting to see Alira's face. "Alira is a child. He was innocent and knew nothing about his parents. Looks like I have to learn to accept Alira as my own daughter."
