Auristela (Mu'Alaf Beautiful)
Umi Aisyah

Azan magrib reverberated. Auri stopped at a nearby mosque to join the congregational magrib prayer. Auri had not returned home after meeting with Alista at the restaurant this afternoon. He chose to be alone in the bookstore of one of his acquaintances. For Auri, when her heart was troubled and sad, reading a book was the cure.

Meanwhile, all his friends are looking for him. They contact Auri, but her phone is inactive. They also had time to ask Mia about Auri's whereabouts. Then Mia was confused to find Auri. He forgot Auri's habit of being sad, wanting her to be alone while reading a book. Until finally Mia can only wait until Auri can be contacted.

And in the midst of those worries, this is where Auri is. He was right in his prayers. Even when the prayer was over, Auri was still sitting on her alphabet. His finger kept turning the beads. His tears began to drip, all his sadness spilled. The longing for her mother made the grief break even more, causing tears to flow more and more.

"O Allah, forgive my sins and the sins of my parents. Open your doors to them, O Allah. Heal mother of God. I miss him so much. I want to see his face for a little while." Reveal it in prayer.

Unbeknownst to Auri, a pair of eyes had been watching her since earlier. She was a woman who looked down at Auri. A woman who knows Auri. This is Umi Aisyah, her former father-in-law. He sat in the back a bit beside Auri. He already knew it was Auri, ever since Auri first entered this mosque.

Umi Aisyah shed her tears, heard Auri's prayer and those tears were also happy tears. He felt happy finally after a long time to be able to meet Auri, a foreign woman who became his favorite daughter-in-law at that time. And now Aisyah thinks of Auri as her own son.

Slowly Aisyah wanted to grab Auri's shoulder and directly hug Auri. But he hesitated to do that. Repeatedly she tried to grab Auri by the shoulder, but she puffed it out. Until he realized, when his hand almost touched Auri's shoulder, that's when Auri looked back.

The eyes of the two meet. Aisyah looked at Auri with glassy eyes. While Auri stared in surprise, with still watery eyes as well.

"Eye!" He said somewhat doubtfully.

"My son.." With a sobbing, Umi Aisyah immediately hugged the body of Auri who was still surprised to not expect to meet the woman she considered like her own mother. The woman who always smiles when she calls her name. The woman who taught him so much about life from the first day Auri said the shahadah.

"I'm sorry, son. I'm sorry about umi and abi." Regretting his mistake for not trying to find Auri back then.

"No Umi, I should be the one apologizing. I left the boarding school without saying goodbye to Umi and abi. I'm sorry, Umi." Reply to Umi Aisyah's embrace.

Both are now dissolved in an embrace full of regret over the past. Umi regrets her inability to keep her responsibilities to Auri. No one wants to end that embrace. They still want to keep hugging, because they still miss each other.

Meanwhile, in Auri's apartment. Endah and Widia are still trying to reach him. While Andi and bang Rudi search Auri to every bookstore in their nearest area. Mia had just told them, it was likely that Auri was in the bookstore.

And Mia, is currently with Gio. He accompanies Gio to meet bang Adin to sign his cooperation contract with bang Adin. And this time Gio got a good role. He played Al's best friend and secretary in their latest soap opera.

"This is very special to me, baby. This is my first role as Al's companion. Normally I would be his enemy, or not his assistant." Obviously Gio's spirit. Mia was silent. He was not focused because he was still thinking about the state of Auri who until now still had no news.

"I just read the script for the first episode, beb. You should read it too. I'm sure you'll instantly love my soap opera and Al this time." He greeted with great happiness.

However, Mia still remained silent. Gio who was astonished because his lover was silent, glanced briefly at Mia's worried face. Then, gently grasped Mia's fingers to distract her lover.

"You still think of Auri?"

"I'm worried, beb. I still don't know about it yet." Discuss worried.

"If we find Auri first how?" Gio's Advice.

"How much are you promising? Bang Adin must be angry if you're late, beb." Celoteh Mia's.

"So gamana? I can't see you worrying gini, beb." Gently stroked her lover's fingers again.

"I'm sorry, beb. You also know Auri would never want to tell me about her sadness. He always told me the same news every day. But, today he really had no news. So, I'm afraid something happened to Auri."

"You don't have to apologize. I'll help you find Auri now. About bang Adin, I can take care of it later." Turn the car around. They headed for the bookstore Mia mentioned to her.

Before that, Gio had already told Bang Adin that he could not come. Gio also explained the reason to bang Adin. And bang Adin gave permission to Gio.

Gio drove his car at a fast pace. Heading to the bookstore Mia was referring to. But, after almost half the way to the bookstore, Mia's eyes caught the figure of Auri who was seen standing in front of the mosque.

"Beb, it's Auri. It's Auri, put the car down." Shouted Mia rowdy by pointing outside her car.

Gio slowed down the speed of the car, then immediately pulled over. Judging from the rear windshield, what Mia saw was true. It was true that Auri was joining forces with an old woman who was about to cross the street.

"You wait here, I'm after Auri." Get out of the car. But before that, Gio had already grasped Mia's hand to prevent her from getting out of the car.

"What's up, beb?" Surprised because Gio prevented him from pursuing Auri.

"Not that woman, Kelvin's mother?" Guess Gio looked again at the face of the woman who was with Auri. Mia also watched carefully.

"Yes right, beb. That's Umi Aisyah, Uminya Kelvin. How do you know?" Wonder Kanapa Gio can be familiar with Umi Aisyah.

"long story. What matters now, we already know the whereabouts of Auri. So, can we go to Adin's office?" Persuade Gio to his lover.

"Mh, come on." The answer was lethargic, as it could not go straight to Auri. But, even so at least Mia was relieved because her best friend was fine, as far as she could see.
