Becoming Like My Mother
CHAPTER 74

The couple was moved by the words that their eldest daughter had spoken. Even Melati had shed her tears. They immediately approached the two.

Farah was surprised to see her parents who came suddenly. He was afraid that they would know what he was saying to his brother.

"Honey," called softly Melati to Farah.

"Yes Mother, I'm sorry Dad. Brother has to go now, hasn't had a bath yet." Farah replied nervously and without hearing the response from the two she left the room.

Melati and Fahmi who saw him just shook their heads, they turned to Aisyah. And carrying their little daughter.

***

The atmosphere in the dining room was so quiet. Both of their children are playing and do not want to eat like their parents.

The confused Melati wanted to start what conversation. And Fahmi who was nervous because he wanted to start a conversation.

For a moment the two looked at each other and threw an awkward smile.

"Ehm Mel," Dehem Fahmi to reduce his nervousness.

"Yes, it's." Melati replied smiling.

"I want to say something."

"Just say it, Mama,"

Fahmi took a long breath. "So now I'm not what I used to be."

Melati scrunched her forehead. "What do you mean?"

"The news about me, you and Sasa has spread widely. And that puts my company out of business with Mel." Sluggishly.

His wife looked surprised even to the point of closing her mouth. Indeed Melati itself rarely watch tv and lately rarely open social media accounts. Therefore, he did not know the hottest news at the moment.

"I intend to auction my place of business. From that result, I will open a new business but not like before. I hope you understand and support me Mel." Further.

Melati smiled and grabbed her husband's hand.

"Mas, whatever your decision is I'll keep supporting you as long as it's good. We don't have to worry about sustenance anyway. As long as we have the effort, God willing, everything will be fine. And it is accompanied by asking Allah for everything, for He is the Most Rich."

Fahmi's heart was so cold to hear the words of his wife. He quickly approached and grabbed Melati's body.

"Thank you Mel, you understand me."

***

Finally, the company that has been run by Fahmi Al-Farizi has changed hands. And now Mr. Harry Yovindra is the legal owner of the company. He will lead the company in the future.

Melati greeted her husband with a smile. He knows everything that has happened. Politely he kissed the back of Mas Fahmi's hand.

Fahmi smiles and steps his feet towards his youngest daughter's room.

"Assalamu'alaikum Father's daughter," he said with anxiety and showered Aisyah's face with a kiss.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Father." Melati replies to the voice of a child.

For a moment Melati let the first Mas Fahmi play with their baby. She went to the kitchen to make her husband a drink.

"This is Mas" said Melati put what he had prepared on the nightstand.

"Yes Mel, thank you, yeah." Fahmi replied smiling.

Ting tong's...,

"It looks like there's a guest outside Mas, let me open it."

Fahmi nodded

Chequek. The door opened and saw Rayn, her husband's assistant. I don't know if it's still up to this point.

"Assalamu'alaikum Miss."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

"Miss is Mr Fahmi home?"

"Yes Rayn, please come in first. Let me call you."

Melati leaves Rayn alone in the living room. She hurried to call her husband.

"Mas there's Rayn here. You meet him let Aish I take care of him."

"Alright Mel,"

Fahmi who saw his former assistant just took him to his study. Make their conversation more calm later.

"What's up, Rayn? Aren't you supposed to be working with your new master?" Ask Fahmi wonder.

"I'm sorry sir if I'd been rude to come to your house without talking about it first."

"No need to hesitate like that Rayn, tell me what's going on?"

"So like this sir, I decided to keep working with you. I will remain loyal to you."

"But how could Rayn, my situation is not like before. You only lose with me Rayn."

"No sir, for me it's just you my boss up to any moment."

"Rayn I can't."

"Can't how Sir?"

"Rayn aren't you getting married soon. By working with me it will only hinder your marriage time."

"That's nothing to worry about sir, I've taken care of it a long time ago. I beg you, please allow me to keep working with you."

"Alright Rayn, it's up to you. But I don't want you to be my assistant like you used to be, and don't call me Sir. We'll be partners after this."

"Alright sir, if that's your wish."

Fahmi nodded, in his heart he was very grateful. Those who had been by his side were loyal to him. Only one was missing, his first wife.

Rayn who from the beginning carried a map immediately took it out of her bag.

"Oh yes sir, I previously thought maybe we will open a business in the culinary field. Like a restaurant or cafe, how about you?" Rayn asked to open the map.

"Good idea Rayn."

"Yes sir so I think we'll open it in this place. Because I think this is a very strategic place." Rayn pointed at a map inside the map.

Fahmi nodded, not forgetting he also gave an idea that was on his mind. They really work together on this.

Melati who had seen the two was so happy. Actually seeing the cheerful face of her husband is what makes her calm. At least Mas Fahmi has shown change after a few days is always moody and stressed.

***

Two days later, Fahmi approached the wife who was struggling with kitchen tools. With a face she wrapped her hands around Melati's waist.

"Dear I ask for your prayers and support. Bismillah may my efforts this time be smooth."

"Sure, I'm happy to see you like this." Sahut Melati looked at him for a moment.

"I'm also very grateful and grateful to have a wife like you. I hope you never change, Mel."

"What are you talking about, Mom? I will always be with you and always will be."

"Thank you Mel" said Fahmi, with a kiss on his wife's forehead.

Farah and Bi Marni arrived shortly. Fahmi who today only wants breakfast made by his wife, makes Melati give the needs of the child to Bi Marni.

"For Father, Mother," said Farah with enthusiasm.

"Pad's daughter's first morning." Reply Fahmi then carried his son.

"Dad I am am amused," said Farah with open arms. His father showered his face with a kiss. The fine feathers around his father's chin made him more amused.

"Dear, let's have breakfast." Fahmi then sat his daughter on his thigh.

Bi Marni who saw everything smiled sumringah. Although their lives have been different, but did not make happiness in the family fade.

Another case in the past, he recalled when his master's company almost went out of business. And make its revenue decrease. His master's wife protested and demanded. To make his master work so hard even sick to restore everything.
