"How long have you known me?" said Inayah with a smile. The woman tapped Fahira's shoulder slowly.

"I've considered everything, Fa. Tomorrow, Ujang will deliver the knitting machine to your rented house. You can work from home. Every three days, Ujang will deliver the yarn and also give you instructions on what clothes to make."

Fahira looked at Inayah in disbelief, "What do you mean by Inay?"

"I mean, yes, you work at home. It will be Ujang who will go back and forth to your house," replied Inayah. Fahira's tears fell right then and there. He immediately hugged Inayah, "Alhamdullilah, Inayah. Thank you very much."

"I already consider you my sister, so don't ever hesitate.

***

Fahira started working at home. Ujang- one of Inayah's men every few days will deliver the yarn and pick up the finished knitwear. Kamania herself was getting used to the dark. If he initially complained, not anymore.

"Aunt Inayah is very kind, isn't she, Ma? Mama can work at home and take care of Nia," said Kamania.

Fahira smiled, "He is very kind, son. Mama has known Uwah Inayah for a long time. Your grandmother used to work for her family. Mama wants you to go to high school, okay? Don't be like mommy," he said. Kamania frowned, "Don't be like mama... what do you mean?"

"Mama only goes to high school, Nia. You have to get to graduate school, don't you?"

Suddenly the door was knocked from outside. Kamania who heard the knock slowly got up from his seat, but Fahira held her daughter's steps.

"Let Mama open it," said Fahira, rushing to the door. And he smiled when he saw who was coming.

"Healthy, Fahira? Where's Kamania?" Ammar says as the door opens. Fahira rushed to open the door wide and invited his former father-in-law to enter.

"Please sir, it's Kamania sitting reading," replied Fahira.

Ammar stepped in and immediately approached Kamania.

"Kamania what else?" he said to the little girl.

"Eh, there's Grandmother. Kamania is reading Grandma's storybook. This book is from Kamania's teacher," Kamania answered his grandfather's question with enthusiasm

"How about school?" asked Ammar a little confused.

"I asked a special teacher to come over to the house and teach Kamania, sir." Fahira replied with a smile, "I want Nia not to miss her lessons, so I'm looking for a private tutor to teach her braille."

"Must be expensive?"

"Whatever I will do for Kamania, sir," replied Fahira firmly.

Ammar chuckled slightly seeing Fahira's spirit. He then took out something from the bag he was carrying

"Fahira, here's a little money. Previously, I was going to give you and Kamania a monthly fee. However, I think it's better to give Kamania's inheritance right now. You know the nature of Mother and Gilang. your name. And this is legally valid. Mr. has taken care of everything. So you can move to your new house whenever you want. The keys and address of the house are already in this envelope as well. In this envelope, there is also a savings book and a letter of deposit. Mr. I have deposited 150 million for you. Also in your name. Yesterday was also assisted by a bank person you know. The interest on the deposit goes into your account every month. If you want to withdraw, you just have to take this letter of deposit to the bank. Mother and Gilang don't know at all about this. You have a special account that only you know."

Ammar said at length while giving the envelope to Fahira. Meanwhile, Fahira could not say anything else. Her tears just fell. He was touched by the kindness of his former father-in-law.

"I'm sorry for not being able to act decisively when Gilang betrayed you. I think what you are giving now is not enough to make up for your heartache. However, this is enough for Kamania's education. waiting for an eye donor for Kamania. However, I think the hospital will prioritize it because the fees have been paid in advance. All payment receipts are in this envelope as well."

Fahira immediately knelt in front of Ammar, and immediately he kissed the hand of his former father-in-law with reverence.

"Oh my God, thank you. I don't know what else to say. You shouldn't have to do all this, I-I-"

"Never mind, son. Don't think about it, move as soon as possible. At least your burden will be reduced if you live in your own house. You don't have to pay rent. The house that you bought is not big, but I'm sure it will be enough for both of you. don't want, you are despised by others just because you are a widow. What's more, you are young and beautiful. Evil people will later take advantage of your situation if you don't have any savings. And I don't want that to happen. What's more, you have to take care of Kamania too. "

"Fine, sir. Fahira accepts all your gifts because this is for Kamania. Fahira will maintain your trust. God willing, Kamania will send Fahira to the highest level."

"I believe in you, Fahira. Yes, you have to go back to the office. Later, I will visit your new house," Ammar said as he left.

"Loh, you want to go to the office? Then Mas Gilang?"

"Gilang can't be relied on completely. Earlier, the father from the Notary's office and the bank came right away. So no one knows the letters that you gave. It could be messy if Gilang's mother finds out," said Ammar, patting Fahira on the shoulder.

"Kamania is a studious, yes. Later when Grandma has time, we will go play," said Ammar, hugging and kissing his grandson.

"Yes Grandmother, Kamania promises to study hard and help Mama," replied the little girl in a steady voice. Ammar just chuckled amused hearing his grandson's promise. Kamania is a very cheerful child. Pity if he has to suffer because of the darkness he feels now.

"Father said goodbye, Fahira," said Ammar. Fahira immediately kissed the back of her father-in-law's hand.

After Ammar left, Fahira just opened the brown envelope that Ammar brought. The contents are the deed of sale and purchase, the certificate of the house in his name. Letter of deposit, passbook, and eye surgery payment receipt for Kamania.

Fahira immediately prostrated in gratitude. He was truly grateful that his former father-in-law cared so much for him. Still thinking about the fate of his son. Indeed Ammar is very different from his wife Endang. Endang has often hurt Fahira's feelings since she married Gilang. While Ammar, although rarely spoke, he was never rude to Fahira. However, Fahira herself did not expect Ammar's attention to be so great. 'May you live a long life,' Fahira prayed in his heart.
