Asiyah End Times
20.00

Umi was wiping the dust in the closet.

“After you return home Asiyah,” Umi scrunched her forehead.

Ten o'clock in the morning Asiyah had already returned from the office.

Asiyah hush. Sit in the living room chair.

“Umi..” call Asiyah slowly.

“What's up?” ask Umi a little ketus. Umi changed her attitude towards Asiyah since Mr. Tomi came to the house that night.

Asiyah was really confused about what Mr. Tomi was really talking about to Umi. Did Mr Tomi convey his threat in that office to Umi?

“Umi.. Asiyah would like to talk.”

“Iya what? Talk what?”

“Asiyah resigned from Umi's office, please forgive Asiyah Umi, Asiyah will immediately find a new job, Asiyah is sure to get it soon, Umi do not worry,” Asiyah tried to convince Umi. His voice is getting higher.

Asiyah really did not know anymore how to explain all her circumstances to Umi. Moreover, Asiyah knew very well that at this time Umi was in a condition of heart and mind that was not good, like the beginning of the bankruptcy of Abi, Umi was still shocked to look very fragile, just crying in front of Abi.

Now the situation is different, Abi is gone, and Asiyah scratches the wound again in Umi's heart. Asiyah understood Umi's feelings. Asiyah understands. But what can Asiyah do for now. Asiyah was forced to resign from the office. Asiyah couldn't possibly work in that scary office anymore.

“Hhhhhhhh.. yes already if it has been your decision,” said Umi Ketus. Throwing a washcloth on the table. Umi went into her room.

Asiyah knew, Umi would definitely cry again. Asiyah hush. He saw Umi to go from before him.

For three days Asiyah was out of her job. Asiyah was busy preparing the file to apply for another job. Anyway Asiyah should get a new job soon, otherwise who will pay the mortgage? Who will pay for his college? It used to be the beginning of moving the Umi campus that funded Asiyah's college, but after Asiyah worked, Asiyah herself paid for it, now how? It is impossible to ask to be financed again with Umi.

Asiyah should be excited, because soon Asiyah will graduate college, a few more semesters, in shea Allah. Asiyah also did not want to continue to burden Umi with many thoughts about all these difficulties.

Ba’da maghrib was Umi went alone. I don't know where. No need to pay Asiyah either. Umi was silent when she left.

It's almost eight o'clock in the night. Umi's phone could not be reached.

Asiyah started to worry. Asiyah tried to find Umi outside the house. Use the motor at a slow speed only. Look to the left and to the right.

Asiyah's motor stalled on the side of the road, in front of the cafe near her home. The walls of the cafe are made of clear glass, so it can be seen from outside anyone who is a visitor inside.

It turns out that on the edge of the cafe wall there is Umi. That's vivid. Umi looked very serious listening to the conversation of his interlocutor. A man. From afar it seemed Asiyah was familiar.

Mr Tomi? Again that man. What else would he want to see Umi for? After that time they spoke up to make Umi change her attitude towards Asiyah. What else are they talking about? Asiyah kept waiting for Umi outside the cafe. Just peek. Asiyah hid behind a car parked on the side of the road in front of the cafe. Quietly so as not to be discovered Umi.

20.00. Umi looked towards the wall clock that was right in front of her. Tomi looked at Umi.

“So how's Bu?” ask Tomi sir to Umi. Silence moment.

“I give Mom time to think for the next week, think carefully about my offer.” Just shut up for a second.

“Okee I think our talk this time is done, I still have other business, I wait for the good news, Assalamu’alaykum. good night.” Mr. Tomi smirked at Umi. Left desk.

“Wa’alaykumussalam,” replied Umi slowly. Subdues head. Breathe in, deep. Hhhhhh.. Umi's coming home soon. Get out of that cafe.

Asiyah who saw Umi out of the cafe, followed Umi from behind. Umi was seen riding the taxi home.

Umi arrived home first. Asiyah followed into the house after a while waiting for Umi to enter the house, so that Umi did not suspect that Asiyah had been following her from earlier.

Ali and Aisyah were already sleeping inside the room, it seemed like they were exhausted from playing too much this afternoon.

“Asiyaahh..” call Umi. Gentler.

“Iya Umi,” Asiyah came to face Umi who was sitting in the front seat of their living room.

“Where were you?”

From the store in front of Umi, Asiyah had bought mosquito repellent,” replied Asiyah. Lied. Hopefully Umi is not suspicious.

Asiyah sat in the chair next to Umi. They face each other.

“There are people who want Umi to talk to you,” said Umi.

“Iya Umi, what is it?” ask Asiyah. Little suspicious. Worriedly. Maybe it has something to do with Tomi.

Two seconds, five seconds. Umi silence.

“Married to Mr. Tomi Asiyah,” said Umi lirih staring at Asiyah.

“Umi beg you this time Asiyah,” connect Umi. Grasping both hands. So tight.

Asiyah hush. Staring at Umi who looked very lethargic in her speech.

Asiyah was surprised by Umi's words. Although in fact Asiyah had prepared herself for the worst possibility regarding her problems with Mr. Tomi.      

“Why should Asiyah marry Mr Tomi Umi? Asiyah does not want to be the second wife.”

Asiyah shed her tears before Umi for the first time since Abi's bankruptcy.

“We have no other choice Asiyah, the loss borne by Mr. Tomi reached one billion because of you, otherwise you will go to jail,” Umi suppress his voice.

“Which mistake is Umi? It's all just Pak Tomi's wits to get Asiyah to marry him. The evidence of his loss was non-existent, and no one could confirm everything was due to Asiyah's mistake,” Asiyah looked furious.

“But we can what Asiyah? Abi just left us and now we have to endure all this again, Umi can't bear if you have to go to Asiyah prison, your sisters need fees, home installments and everything, he said, Mr. Tomi has promised Umi, He will give you luxury if you want to be his second wife, Mr. Tomi has also promised to finance the lives of Umi and your brothers, our lives will return to what Asiyah used to be, we will return to luxury life,” Umi looked at Asiyah. Weld.

Asiyah cried. Face red. Wet cheeks. Asiyah ran away from Umi. Go into his room. Asiyah really did not expect Umi to absorb this. This weak. Asiyah believes, at this time Umi is only tempted by the luxury offered by Mr. Tomi, not because Umi believes in Mr. Tomi for the mistakes that Asiyah did, but because it is again Umi is in its fragility. But this time Umi is outrageous, Umi could exchange it for luxury. Asiyah disappointed.

“Asiyaahh... listen to Umi first..! Umi was only given one week by Mr. Tomi to answer all his offers earlier.!” yell Umi.

Asiyah doesn't care.

Four days out of a week the time Mr. Tomi was given had passed.

Every day, Umi asked about Asiyah's decision to marry Mr. Tomi.

Asiyah still did not give her answer. Asiyah just kept quiet. Umi should have understood very well that Asiyah must have rejected the offer. Want as fancy as anything given by Mr. Tomi later. Asiyah doesn't like it. Asiyah cannot be polygamous. Asiyah did not want to be the second wife. Especially in the eyes of Asiyah, Mr. Tomi is not a good man. Asiyah often caught him making friendly calls with other women, not Bu Wela. And yesterday, the last time he met in the office at that time, Mr. Tomi dared to try to do something inappropriate to him.

Is this what a good man says? Nah! Even his first wife was not able to guide him. Ms. Wela was often rude to her children and indifferent to her family. Just one Mr. Tomi has not been able to arrange it, let alone two.

This is already the seventh day of the time set by Mr. Tomi.

Umi hasn't seen Asiyah out of the room from yesterday. Where was Asiyah this morning? Go apply for a job again as usual. Umi went into Asiyah's room. Check conditions.

Surprised Umi saw Asiyah lying on the floor.

Asiyah fainted.
