After visiting Rizal's new home, Miss Silvi returns home. He was already very satisfied with the plan he had agreed with Viona.

In Other Places.

Reza dropped off her sister-in-law in front of a boutique. "Later noon if you have time, I'd like to take you to lunch. You didn't reject it, did you?" ask Reza to Zahra.

Zahra looked confused to answer. He smiled awkwardly. "Yes see you later, Mom. I don't know what my interview was like?"

"Okay, when you're done, just call me! Today my work is not too crowded" said Reza, after which he continued his journey to the office.

Zahra took a deep breath before stepping into the boutique. She was very nervous because it was her first time working in a boutique.

"Alright, you have to be confident, Zahra. You can do it" Zahra said in her heart. He tries to encourage himself.

After the spirit gathered, Zahra went inside with confident steps. Arriving inside, Zahra was immediately greeted by the receptionist on duty. He registered his name in the registration section, then Zahra waited in the waiting room.

Zahra looked nervous in the waiting room. Many times he took a breath to relieve his nervousness. Soon Zahra's name was called. He said Bismillah and entered the room.

Inside the room were three people sitting in a row. "Zahra Verlita please sit down!" said one officer.

Zahra immediately sat on the chair that was provided. He sat quietly and stared as the attendant with a friendly face. After that the interview began. They asked Zahra about the design of the image she sent via email a few days ago.

They think that the design of the picture that Zahra sent is very good and unique. For that they offered Zahra a contract of employment. Of course it makes me Zahra happy and he is eagerly accepting the contract.

"Thank you for accepting me here. I will work well and professionally" said Zahra happily.

"Good, our company really likes your work. So welcome to join us in this company."

"When can I start working?" Zahra asked the officer.

"Tomorrow you have started working, just bring a laptop because everything is provided here" replied the officer.

Zahra nodded her head. He's very excited. "All right, thank you. Then excuse me first" said Zahra out of the room.

"Thank God I was accepted to work, this time I will be earnest. I'll show Mama that I'm not a bad person" Zahra murmured slowly and left the boutique.

Arriving outside, Zahra immediately looked for a taxi. He tried to call Rizal. Call connected, but not answered. "Are you as busy as Mas to not raise my call" said Zahra slowly.

After getting a taxi, Zahra went inside and immediately went home. He doesn't want to go anywhere. Zahra sat quietly in the taxi. Shortly thereafter, a call came in from her husband. Zahra immediately smiled happily and immediately raised the call.

"Hello Mas, Assalamualaikum."

[Waalaikumsalam, Zahra where are you? Why aren't you home?]

"Mas, are you home? I'm out Mas. But I'm on my way home, wait for me. I'll be there soon" said Zahra happily.

[Sorry, but I'm home! I'm already on my way. I only bought you souvenirs. I put it to Papa at home.]

Zahra fell silent, and her hope of meeting her husband was dashed. "Why don't you wait for me, Mom. I miss you, some days you never call me" said Zahra sadly.

[I'm sorry, Viona told me to go home quickly. He said he wanted to go to the doctor to check on her. Maybe Viona is pregnant. Next time I'll stay, we'll talk again. Yes, yes, Zahra. I hung up. Assalamualaikum.]

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Zahra. His heart is beating fast. He had no idea what he was feeling at the moment.

Zahra took a deep breath, she tried to calm down. "I have to stay calm no matter what. I must be strong, until this womb is filled again" Zahra murmured in her heart.

Zahra stroked her stomach as she prayed in her heart, "God give the servant the opportunity to keep the trust from you. Touch this womb so that it can bring a little angel to my husband."

There are many prayers that go to the Creator. He never gave up even though he failed many times. A few minutes later Zahra arrived home. He got off and got out of the cab. Arriving inside, Zahra was greeted by her mother-in-law.

"Well, once you've just come home, you must be tired first. Even if only the interview will not be that long," scorned Bu Silvi cynically.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma," Zahra said to her mother-in-law, but the greeting went unanswered.

"So Mas Rizal from here huh, Ma?" ask Zahra.

Ms. Silvi stood up arrogantly and left Zahra without giving an answer. Zahra just stood up and stared at the hubris of her mother-in-law. Then he went into his room to rest.

Arriving in the room Zahra put her bag on the table. He washed his hands and changed his clothes. Shortly after, his phone rang. The call from the village went into his phone.

Zahra raised the call. "Assalamu'alaikum Mas, what's wrong?"

[Waalaikumsalam, have you returned to the interview, Zahra?]

"Yes, I just got home. I just went home, Mas Rizal happened to be home. But, he didn't get to see me" Zahra said sadly.

[You are patient. Oh, ja. Is it starting work tomorrow?]

"Already, Mas. Tomorrow I'm going" replied Zahra.

"Getishalight." Zahra hung up the phone and sat back down on the bed. His eyes glared far to the window.

In Other Places.

Rizal has arrived at his new home. He got down and got out of his car. Soon after, Viona came out of the house to greet her husband. "Darling you've come home? I miss you so much" exclaimed Viona with a hug on Rizal.

"I'm tired let's go inside. Your mother said it's coming by the moon." Rizal asked his wife.

"Yes I'm one week late and hopefully positive for pregnancy" Viona replied spoiledly.

"Then tomorrow we go to the doctor to check your contents."

"Alright," Viona replied with a saggy twitch on her husband's arm.

After that Rizal went upstairs to go into his room. He wanted to rest for a while, due to his extremely long journey outside of the city.

Rizal put down his bag and immediately took a towel to go take a shower. "Darling are you hungry? I can prepare food for you" asked Viona.

"Not that I had eaten at Mama's house" replied Rizal.

After that Rizal went into the bathroom. Viona immediately tidied up her husband's bag. Shortly thereafter, Rizal's phone rang. Zahra's name was on the screen. Viona immediately raised a call from Zahra.

"Hey, Zahra. What's up?" ask Viona.

[Viona I want to talk to Mas Rizal. Is there a license?]

"But my dear Rizalmu is resting, so it cannot be disturbed. You call me next time" said Viona in a small tone.

[Can you get Mas Risal to call me back when he wakes up?]

"Maybe if I don't forget, if I forgot I'm sorry."

[Yes, thank you.]

Viona immediately hung up from Zahra. "Enak just wanted to talk to Rizal, I won't let it happen," said Viona cynically, then he put Rizal's phone back on the table.

A few moments later Rizal came out of the bathroom. "What are you doing, Vio?" rizal asked while drying his hair.

"Hem, it's okay to just tidy up your clothes. Rest, I'll accompany you." Viona tidied up her mattress, after which Rizal immediately climbed onto the mattress and rested.

In the afternoon, Rizal had already woken up from his sleep. She asks Viona for permission and she wants to stay at her mother's house. "Tonight I'll stay at Mama's house. Poor Zahra never got my time" Rizal told his wife.

"What's? No, you can't leave without me. I won't allow you" said Viona.

"What do you mean, I have to be fair in this marriage because Zahra is still my wife. Anyway, without your permission, I'll stay at Mama's tonight."

"Then I come home, I don't want to be here alone" Viona said.

"Tomorrow morning I'll be home. You're here tonight, because I'm sure that if you're there, you're going to hurt Zahra. I hope you understand Vio, because Zahra is hurt so much in this relationship."

Viona is upset with her husband, but she can't do anything if Rizal has forced his will. "Okay, please go there. But tomorrow you have a week at home. You should go there once a month. If you don't agree, I'll just say it to Mama."

Rizal took a deep breath, he could only say yes because he did not want to argue with Viona. "Alright I agree, as long as you are kind to Zahra. I'll go first."

Viona growled resentfully at her husband. He was very angry with Zahra. "Awas alone after this won't give you a chance to go there again. I hope tomorrow I'm positive, so I have a reason to curb Rizal" muttered Viona with a sly smile.

Rizal immediately darted away to his mother's house. He missed Zahra very much. Within half an hour Rizal arrived at his mother's house. He saw Zahra who was in the courtyard.

"Zahra," call Rizal to his wife.

"Mas Rizal, you come," exclaimed Zahra running into Rizal's arms. "I miss you so much, Mom," said Zahra, hugging her husband.

"I miss you too, what are you cooking today? I miss your cooking? And I'm so hungry to eat you" whispered Rizal to his wife.

Zahra smiled shyly. "Are you deliberately teasing me, Mom?"

"Why indeed? Don't you miss me?"

"I miss you very much. Miss you so much, Mom," said Zahra with teary eyes.

Rizal hugged his wife back tightly. "I'm sorry, put you in this relationship."

"It's okay, Mom. I have prepared this heart to be strong. Now that we go inside, I'm going to cook your favorite menu" Zahra said trying to toughen up.

Rizal nodded and entered the house with his wife.
