Tok.dok....

The ice turned towards the door, it turned out that Hafiz was coming with a tray in hand.

It was seen he was carrying a bowl of porridge and a glass of water.

The ice came back and changed position by turning its back on Hafiz.

"I bring you porridge, eat! I know you haven't eaten ape yet" while putting a tray on the bedside nightstand. Hafiz looked at the back of Ais who was turning her back.

"Think of the ape I said!" Hafiz wanted to leave.

"Wait!" the sound of ice stopped Hafiz's steps. It takes strength to get the word out.

"There's something I want to ask" Ais's voice sounded low. Hafiz turned around and approached towards Ais, while Ais sat down on her bed.

"There's something I want to ask" Ais repeated her words while continuing to look down not daring to look at Hafiz, an adult male eleven years older than her and at the same time holding the title of master.

"Ask...! don't hesitate, I'm ready to answer all your questions" Hafiz sat himself on the edge of Ais's bed in an accompanying position.

"I..., I.." The voice of Ais sounded hesitant.

"Say....Ice, don't be afraid! Hafiz changed his sitting position right in front of Ais.

" It's about the master's wife" said Ais briefly.

Degs....

Hafiz raised his face fixedly staring at the one who asked.

Hafiz's heart slowed down, there was a slight tightness in the chest, blinding the blood flow improperly, turning the look of the face reddened.

"If you can't ask me that!" Hafiz seemed reluctant to discuss the problem of his wife. I don't know what the reason is. Ais remained with his stance, he did not want to swallow the bitter pill after taking the title of wife of Hafiz.

"Before I marry you, I have the right to know, where and where your wife is" Ais set her eyes on Hafiz, leading to an explanation of her question.

Hafiz took a deep breath, then threw it rough.

He was not able to speak, his tongue was like a mute and something was holding back.

Ais noticed Hafiz's movements with a sad look, for a few seconds there were still no words heard.

Disappointed, he also slit his small body and lay down like his original position by turning his back on Hafiz.

Suddenly ...

"I was married four years ago" Hafiz began the story.

The ice widens the ears, seriously listening to Hafiz's story.

"As you know, Adira is my only child from my previous marriage".

The ice that was impatient with the continuation of the story, immediately cut off Hafiz's words, "So your wife is now where, all this time I have never seen or heard from her?" sitting back at the head of the bed.

" He has been gone, since three years ago" Hafiz said in a soft voice with teardrops.

Ais knows there is sadness in Hafiz, it is no longer possible for him to ask a lot because it will definitely make Hafiz more sad. Because reminding someone of the person who has left him for good is the same as making old wounds bleed again.

In the end, what Ais knows is that the dead will never rise again. I finally closed the question with a word.

"I'm sorry" Ais said softly, as if regretting her question.

"Eat!" hafiz said and then left Ais.

Ais stared at Hafiz's departure, now relieved, able to reveal his uneg-uneg to Hafiz.

Certainly after this the belief in accepting Hafiz's offer grew steadily.

Three days have passed...

Today, exactly three months Ais left his hometown.

Ais turned her memory back when she entered Aruk's immigration office three months ago.

At that time Ais with several other friends waiting for an invitation from each of their prospective employers.

*Flashback On*

The fear and the Decks of Ais felt, a great fear, because of the many reports of torture and sexual abuse by employers. But just to calm the heart, he thought, anyway many are successful by becoming TKI. Some even marry employers who make their lives rich.

Without any experience, Ais tried her luck. Only the prayers of the parents and the strong intention he affirmed the stance of stepping foot across.

"Bismillah"

The word that is said when the prospective employer comes to pick up.

"This is your master, his name is Puan Jijah" Mr. Mohtar introduced a middle-aged woman dressed in Malaysian brackets to Ais.

The ice shone on Jijah's mistress while introducing the name "I'm Ice".

Puan Jijah stroked the tip of the head of Ice, "May be at home, son" those were the first words that Ais received from the mistress of Jijah.

From the way, Ais felt that Pakuan Jijah was a good employer.

"Well that's Mr. Hafiz, the son of the mistress of Jijah" Mr. Mohtar again pointed his thumb towards the man in a white polo shirt with the equivalent of blue jeans leaning on the body of the car.

Hearing his name being called, the cold and indifferent man glanced at Ais from behind his sunglasses, then again threw away his gaze.

The ice bowed towards the man, as a sign of saluting and greeting introductions.

But there is no response, "Truly the employer is arrogant and sceptical, let alone introduce yourself, a smile just do not want.

Huh..luckily she's the master, otherwise I don't want to pay her respects" murmured Ais inwardly.

"Do well, follow all the rules that are there, do not think too much about the family in the village, make your parents proud" said Mr. Mohtar on Ais.

Ais just nodded in understanding.

The ice shook hands with comrades in arms, praying for each other, encouraging, while hugging the farewell sign.

Next he paid his respects to Mr. Mohtar.

"Sir please tell my parents in the village, I get a good employer, and don't worry about me" said Ais Lirih.

"Relax Ais, God willing your master is a good man and you will feel at home working with them". Mr. Mohtar tried to calm Ais who looked a little scared and hesitant.

Naturally he was afraid, this was the first time Ais was far from his parents, especially now he was in the other country without relatives, with a considerable distance. If something bad happens to him, it can be ascertained that it is very difficult for him to find a place to complain or defend. It was really a decision he made.

However, again the desire and late that had been round made him brave.

The next second Ais was already in his car to start his day as a maid.

*flashback off*

"Broom, jom!" Hafiz patted Ais on the shoulder, who was sitting in the waiting room. The ice was a little aghast and regained consciousness from remembering the past events.

Hafiz stood up and smiled beside Ais with two suitcases beside her.

At first glance Ais looked up at her future husband. He got up and stood beside Hafiz.

Now they are ready to go to the birthplace of Ice.
