Incense...

Tok.dok…

“Excuse me,”

Chequelek

“Who to look for?” Doni watched the girl on the wheelchair in front of him intently.

“Sorry, find who?” wulan's questions throw off Doni's daydream.

“Sorry, Ma'am. I'd like to see Aunt Cut. Does he exist? Me, Doni is Anugrah's friend. I was at home there but they said, Aunt Cut has moved here.”

“People you're looking for have gone as Bibik to the market. If you want to wait please.” Ketus Wulan's.

“Em, sorry. Do you have the mobile number Anugrah?”

“No. You said friend but didn't have his cell phone number. Are you lying? Or maybe you want to cheat?” Wulan looked at Doni suspiciously.

“Eh, I don't want to deceive you. I'm here to drop this off.” Doni handed him a thick sheet of paper wrapped in plastic glass with gold-colored ribbon ties.

“Please give this to Aunt Cut. Excuse me first. Close the door well. Uh, who are you?”

“No need to know.”

Boom…

Wulan closed the door and locked it. He opened the invitation that he thought was beautiful.

“Doni Suhendra and Tiara Andini”

Wulan left the invitation at the dinner table. He returned to his room until Cut and the aunt returned from the market.

“Nak, this is an invitation who loves?” tanya Cut who was already standing in front of the door of Wulan's room.

“Name Doni said she was your son's high school friend.”

Cut left Wulan just like that. She already knew who gave her invitation but the bride's name made Cut a little annoyed. He returned to the kitchen with his aunt. Lunch time has arrived. As usual, before going home Anugrah will buy a variety of snacks and drinks packaging and put it in the refrigerator.

Cut no longer forbade them from eating instant noodles after the adult Anugrah and Iskandar. Cut is also not strange anymore to find a variety of snacks and soda drinks in the refrigerator. She's not typical of a mother-dress in her children.

A pair of eyes looked at the contents of the leather pouch that Anugrah was carrying through the window of her room. Wulan was immediately shocked because she realized that the snacks and drinks she had stolen in the middle of the night belonged to Anugrah.

“Did he know I took his food?” wulan Mumam.

Go straight to the kitchen after entering the house. He arranged all the snacks and drinks in his usual place. From the crack of the door, Wulan was peeking at the activities of the Anugrah silently. He wanted to be sure if all the snacks he had eaten belonged to the man he hated the most.

“Den, the more days the snacks more and more but Aden's body is still gini-gini aja.” Said the aunt who had just arrived.

Small smile grace, “Because this food is not for gaining weight, Bik. But to keep the heart happy and the brain stay sane.” Answer Anugrah. While Wulan who was behind the door felt insinuated with the man's words.

“Eh, Den. There was an invitation. I think that's Aden's wife,”

“What invitation, Bik?”

“Marriage invitation. If not wrong Bibik saw earlier from Doni Su-su.”

“Suhendra?”

“Nah, yes Den. Doni Suhendra.” Answer Bibik.

“Which invitation, Bik?”

“Mother's Name, Den.”

Anugrah closed the refrigerator and climbed the stairs to find her mother.

“Ma,” Cut is performing ashar prayers. Anugrah entered her mother's room and took the invitation on the table. He opened the invitation with a troubled mind. His heart suddenly hurt especially there is a photo of the two of them in a romantic pose according to Anugrah.

“What are they going to marry, son?” Anugrah nodded slowly while looking down. Cut approached his son and hugged him affectionately. His son must have felt pain accepting this reality. His best friend married his girlfriend.

“How to do it today this week. If you don't want to come, it's okay.” said Cut.

“I told you, Ma. I asked Doni myself to send you an invitation if they get married.”

“You already know?” Anugrah nodded slowly.

“Yes already, we'll go together. After all, Doni is your best friend and Mama has also considered him a child. We'll go together including Wulan.”

“Mama will take her?”

“Iya. Occasionally let him not get bored.”

“Then if anyone asks who she is, Mama wants to say what?”

“Mama just say son-in-law. Why?”

“No,”

It's only a few days away to Tiara's wedding. Shinta and Toni have returned to Surabaya to prepare for their daughter's wedding. While in Aceh, Kak Julie was on a big rampage because after Dita's passing, her mother was shocked to have to go to the hospital and had to get intensive care in the ICU room.

“This is all because of that girl. Not bored he haunts our family.” Sister Julie complains to Bang Adi. They are currently guarding their mother in the hospital. While Mr. Fahri was at home together out Mak Cek Siti.

“Do we contact Iskandar?”

“Stop, I can't think.”

Bang Adi contacted Iskandar who was asleep because tomorrow he had to attend the thesis session which was on the student list of the trial also listed Aisyah's name.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Iskandar with his hoarse voice.

“Walaikumsalam, Is. It's Om. Sorry to disturb you sleep. Om just wanted to let you know if your grandmother went to the hospital and the doctor couldn't do anything more. My grandmother is now in ICU.”

Iskandar directly woke up from his seat, “Besok Is home, Om.”

After ending his call, Iskandar immediately contacted the papa to deliver the news. And what surprised Iskandar even more was that tomorrow was Tiara and Doni's wedding day.

“What Grace will come, Pa?” ask Iskandar.

“We plan to attend. After all, we all know Doni well for what the issue is. It is his destiny for Tiara to be a match with Doni. But how is this? Have you booked a ticket?”

“I was the one who came home, Pa. Grandma would like to see me.”

“Iya, later let us know if there is anything.”

“Tomorrow I have to leave for Aceh. My grandmother went to the ICU. Hope your trial goes well. Don't forget to pray.”

The next morning, Iskandar was already in bandra. He also contacted the college for permission. It all happened so fast that he could only send a message to his sister while he was about to board the plane.

“You must be sincere. All has God arranged. Smile at them and say my apologies and greetings to Doni!”

“God's Insya. Call us when you get to.”

The atmosphere at the wedding of Doni and Tiara was very lively. But in one of the rooms, Tiara who was being visited by her High School friends began to feel sad because of hearing many things that she had not known.

“So your husband one office with Anugrah?”

“Iya. I was also shocked when I learned about the state of Anugrah from my husband. Incidentally, he received the letter of transfer of the duty of Anugrah. He must have read the contents of the letter and all the supporting files for his move including the hospital report.”

“What's that bad?” ask the others.

“Yes worse. If it has been moved from the field to the office it means that something has changed from his body. And my husband said it's possible some of his bones couldn't go back to what they used to.”

“But he's still normal, right? I mean not disabled or limping?”

“He's still as usual just can't take part in any more combat exercises. Do you know how tough their training is on the field? Well, grace can't be like that anymore. But he still stirrup to walk, run or just a light sport.”

“Do you invite him, Ra?” ask one of them to Tiara, who had only been him.

“Doni invited him.”

“That's patient yes, Ra. You are not separated because you hurt each other but destiny that decides. You're only human, can anything but receive with a roomy chest.”

“Ra, answer honestly! Do you still love her?” Tiara looked at her friends.

“He always had his own place in my heart and Doni knew it. Doni himself had already said when he first asked me out. He won't ask me to forget Anugrah. Because if he were me, he wouldn't be able to do it either. Moreover, the reason we broke up because of different beliefs is not because of others.”

“Salut equals Doni. From the first he was always wise though a bit cupu.”

“Eits, the now changed Doni, Gaiesss. The handsome and the money.”

“This must be because of Tiara.”

“One of them. Maybe he kept going when the money was in his hands. It certainly works. We-we are too, right?”

They stopped immediately when a WE officer asked Tiara to get ready for the Altar with her father. Blessings and receptions are held in one place to save energy.

While at home, Cut is persuading Wulan to come along to buy clothes. Cut just realized that Wulan does not have a party dress.

“I don't want to come to the party so stop taking me.”

“Come, Son. Occasionally we need to see the outside atmosphere so as not to get bored.”

“I don't want to! Go there don't talk to me anymore.”

“Bibikkk, have you bought incense? Remember tonight there should be frankincense in the same Mama's room near the stairs.” Shouted Rendra in front of Wulan's room.

“How to do, Sir?”

“As usual, jasmine flowers equals red and frangipani roses. What matters is incense first. Flowers should also be fresh. You have not forgotten the incident last year because you bought the wrong flowers and did not put frankincense near the stairs?”

“Good, Sir. But, Sir. After burning incense, I went straight away huh! Father same mother will go, I do not want to be home alone.”

“Yes, you stay at the hotel only later I give you the money.”

“At the hotel also I did not dare, sir. I stayed at my friend's house. Her employer also knew about the house. So always accept if I sleep there.”

“Em, okay. Up yours. Buy it now with us. One more thing, kids don't know.”

“Good, Sir.”

Tok.dok…

“Ma, so looking for clothes? Come, go now with Bibik.”

“Iya, Pa.”

“Nak, you want to come?” without answering, Wulan directly pushed her wheelchair out of the room.

Behind Wulan, Cut smiled sweetly at her husband. Rendra kissed the wife's cheek behind Wulan then pulled the waist of the wife friendly after Wulan who had first reached the front porch.

Anugrah was waiting in front of the car. They glanced at each other and threw their faces back.

“Buk, wait for me.” Panicked the aunt from behind.

After locking the door, the women sat in the back. “Have you heard from your sister?” ask Rendra.

“Numbered, Pa. When you are definitely contacted. May grandma be okay huh?” anugrah.

“Amins. Why, you miss them?”

“Iya. Although they are not my grandparents but I love them.”

“Just wish him well again.”

“Can I catch up with sister?”

“It seems hard to get permission. You better be here. Papa can't take you away. Your condition has not recovered sufficiently.” Rendra.

“Bik, buy flowers in what market?”

“Flower? What flowers, Bik?” ask Anugrah curious.

“Building flowers for Bibik bath, right Bik?” said Rendra who was approved by the aunt. While Wulan kept thinking strangely about the family.

“Basic, already modern age still believe superstition.”
