The sky this morning is not as cloudy as last night, the sun is rising again, the gleam of its light really disturbs Agasa's sleep.
He faintly blinked his eyes. A new day was ready for him to begin. Hope after hope was firmly engraved in his heart again. With unsteady steps he went to the bathroom to clean himself. There is a big event for lawyers that he is participating in for the next week in this flower city.
Half an hour has passed, now Agasa's body is neatly wrapped in a white shirt, black cloth pants, black coat and don't forget the maroon tie hanging from the collar of his shirt.
His handsome face is still visible even though he has entered the number 46 years. The ringing of his cell phone caught his attention.
The angel of the heart is calling....
That's the name Agasa gave to Suci Indah Ayu's contact. His smile was sweet on his lips, her heart felt like it was being beaten so hard.
To reach his phone his hands suddenly trembled. Is this how beautiful the love he just felt at an age that was no longer young?
Agasa neutralized his heartbeat by gently stroking his chest in an up and down motion. Take a deep breath and then exhale slowly.
"Hello?" said Agasa in a stammering tone. On the other side, Ayu thought that she had disturbed her legal advisor's sleep.
What will happen if Ayu finds out that Agasa has secretly had a crush on her. Apologies continue, Ayu repeats a sign of being uneasy with Daddy's best friend.
The more often Ayu apologized, the more often Agasa said 'It's okay' Feeling uncomfortable with the topic of apologizing and forgiving Agas changed the topic of their conversation.
"You have something to say, Yu?" guessed Agasa. At first glance Ayu remembered her purpose in calling the famous lawyer.
Ayu said her intention was not to attend the first trial of her divorce with Yudi Eka Setiawan. As a law graduate with honors, Ayu certainly understands the agenda at the first divorce trial.
Yes, it is a mediation agenda. Mediation is an effort to resolve a problem or conflict between two disputing parties with the help of a third party or an intermediary. In general, mediation is an alternative dispute resolution.
Mediation outside the court is handled by private mediators, individuals, or an independent alternative dispute resolution institution known as the National Mediation Center (NMC).
Ayu is not Agasa's first client to refuse to attend the first trial. For couples who are physically and mentally ready for divorce, they will choose to be absent from the mediation agenda. Agasa is very grateful for the decision that Ayu made, it is a sign that Yudi is no longer in her heart.
Ayu will not maintain the ark of her household with Yudi and Agasa still has the opportunity to replace the throne left by Yudi.
The telephone connection between the two was cut off when Agasa agreed to Ayu's wish, along with Kinanti's arrival in Ayu's room to inform her of Firman's arrival and is now waiting for him in the family room.
Ayu instead of rushing down to meet the prince she actually crawled up into bed, not to go back to sleep but she wanted to wake her little girl. Last night Ayu got a firm order from Zaskia that she had to wake her up if her father came.
"Ki ... Wake up, Baby!" said Ayu while shaking Zaskia's small body.
"Ki ... There's a father downstairs, baby." It's true that when he heard his father's name spoken, Zaskia stretched, opening her two eyes faintly.
"Dad downstairs, Mom?" Zaskia asked with a hoarse tone that was typical of waking up. Ayu smiled her sweet smile then nodded at Zaskia while smoothing the beautiful girl's hair.
Ayu ordered Zaskia to immediately wash her face and brush her teeth. Zaskia stepped enthusiastically into the bathroom to carry out the orders given by her mother. Zaskia is already beautiful, even though she hasn't showered yet but she is already beautiful.
It turns out that the inheritance of beauty from the mother is also useful for now. Ayu came down while carrying Zaskia. Seeing the arrival of the angels in his heart, Firman quickly stood up and grabbed Zaskia in Ayu''s arms.
"Ayu, she's heavy, why don't you just call me so I can carry her," muttered Firman, who had flung his buttocks on the sofa where he was originally sitting.
"Hush ... there's Zaskia using me-you," said Ayu, accompanied by horror in her eyes.
Children are great imitators. At all times, children's eyes are always watching, their ears are listening, and their minds are digesting whatever we do.
That's why, don't be surprised if your child can grow up to be a very similar person to you - in a small version. As children get older, imitation continues.
"Yes, Owoh, Mommy," Zaskia screamed when she saw her mother's horror look.
She covered her eyes with her tiny palms, but still left a blemish for her to peek at. Firman turned Zaskia's body and calmed her by rubbing her back up and down.
Seeing the interaction between the two made Ayu roll her eyes in embarrassment.
"Next time, if Zaskia asks to be carried by me, you can't, look, she's really heavy, she's fat like this," said Firman at length. Ayu then pulled one side of her lip, causing Firman to squint his eyes. Looking at Ayu full of investigation.
"You don't remember or are you pretending to forget? I'm 9 months pregnant with Zaskia, take her wherever I go, risk my life giving birth to her. Have I ever complained, let alone given up?"
Ayu's question seemed to pierce Firman's heart with a thousand daggers.
A handful of regrets again burned his soul, weakening his body.
"Sorry--"
"We don't live to mourn the past, we also don't have the power to go back and fix it. But we can make it up in the future, stay with us until one of us faces Him," Ayu interrupted while stroking Firman's cheek. and Zaskia in turn.
Their togetherness was interrupted by a call from Kinanti for breakfast. Kinanti was taken aback when she saw Zaskia clinging to Firman's neck.
"Kia, ask to be woken up last night, Mom." Ayu explained before her mother questioned her more deeply.
Kinanti felt that there was something different about Zaskia, why did she not want to be separated from Firman?
Firman just let Zaskia hang around his neck like a baby koala. Zaskia had never been this close to someone she had just met. It is still clear in the memory of the old woman that her granddaughter had to be forced first so she could be with Akbar.
Maybe this is what is called blood thicker than water, Kinanti just doesn't know about that big secret.
Because the only ones who know are Yudi, Ayu, Firman and Akbar.
