Azzam was still speechless, because at this time it was not his personal realm for many to ask. So Azzam gave the code to Aisyah to talk to Kenzie asking what Aisyah wanted to know from the handsome man who was staring at the three of them seriously visible from the position of sitting Kenzie who looks stiff.


" Kenzie "


" Don't that feeling of love come not so fast, it's not that easy and it's not that simple" asked Aisyah


" Indeed, I am very enthusiastic about my daughter's marriage, because of her age that will enter the mature age, it is natural there is a fear for parents if the girl has not immediately got her mate "


" However "


" the happiness of Zhafira is a priority for me, above all the interests of both myself and of the family that I hope, what the family wants is a lasting marriage to death that separates, he said, marriage is based on the command of Allah SWT, and because Allah SWT "


" In addition, I as a mother feel that I failed to set a good example to Zhaza about the meaning of marriage" said Aisyah who this time somehow felt afraid that Zhafira would be hurt in her marriage.


" It may be true if love is not that easy "


" Love may also be true is not that simple "


" But it could be that the feeling of love is that simple, that easy, and that fast if Allah SWT wills what I have felt and I have experienced myself "


" And I can't describe how I feel, so I ventured to come to see the master, the mistress whom I had never done before "


" However "


" If ladies and gentlemen are willing to accept my request, my request, my goodwill "


" I will give Zhafira my heart "


" Give me responsibility as a husband, and I will fight for the feeling of love that has grown in my heart" said Kenzie


" She grows up to be a girl who doesn't trust men other than the people she trusts "


" She's a girl who doesn't believe in marriage, how do you deal with this "


" What you will promise me, to us so that we can trust you to be responsible for what you have said" Aisyah said


" For Allah's SAKE "


" Only Zhafira will be queen in my heart "


" Only Zhafira will be my wife "


" And I will take full responsibility for Zhafira, both in the world and in the hereafter if Allah SWT betroth me to Zhafira, this is my promise" said Kenzie who this time successfully made Azzam look at the face of his sister who is now silent for a moment no matter what Aisyah thinks.


" How were your parents "asked Azzam


" My parents agreed on what was my choice "


" They said if I had managed to get the blessing of the master family, then they were willing to come to see the Zhafira family as a sign of seriousness from me would invite my nuclear family to propose to Zhafira " kenzie said seriously


" How, Ice "


" Sister will return all decisions to you, said Azzam who now looks at Aisyah's face.


Aisyah who was silent for a moment after getting an answer from Kenzie, looked at the face of her older brother and then looked at Kenzie's handsome face.


" Zhaza still has a real father, and he is still in this city" Aisyah said


" He "said Aisyah who then fell silent trying to make peace with him, however Adhitama was Zhafira's real father. The presence of Adhitama is of course very important for Zhafira. Because without Adhitama Zhafira could never marry, because marrying her daughter, Aisyah needed Adhitama as her legal guardian over Zhafira


" He also has the right to meet you, because Zhafira is still and always has been the responsibility of his father "


" It is appropriate that you ask for the blessing of his father Zhafira" said Aisyah who got the nod of the head from Azzam. Her sister had already acted very breastfed when someone asked her daughter, Aisyah was still thinking about Adhitama's feelings as a father. True, very true, if a marriage must get the blessing of the father and of the mother, so that the household of the child gets the blessing.


" Ais, now Brother is asking your opinion about the purpose of this coming to meet us. Do you approve and accept the goodwill of Kenzie" said Azzam who got a nod of his head from Aisyah


" Hm "


" Kenzie, for today thank God we all accept the intention of your arrival as well as your good intentions over Zhafira. However, our decision to accept the proposal that you say we have not been able to justify. Because we will have a meeting first before deciding whether we accept it or not "


" For that, give us one more week or two at most for us to have an interview with his father Zhafira "


" In that moment, please come back to my residence to question whether your good intentions are received or not " said Azzam who did not promise Kenzie will get the desired answer.


" Okay, sir "


And without waiting long. After one day Kenzie came to the Azzam residence, the next day Kenzie immediately met Adhitama to convey his seriousness towards Zhafira. Adhitama certainly did not immediately approve Kenzie's request because Adhitama also knew Kenzie's track record had been hidden by Kenzie from his parents, the truth is not a secret for Ibrahim and Amanda who actually pretend not to know.


Therefore when Kenzie said if he wanted to marry a descendant of Lesham who turned out to be a woman who was very desired by many families from the upper class social strata.


Ibrahim was no less enthusiastic so Ibrahim justified all means to be able to make Zhafira a part of the Abrisham family.


Azzam, who had ordered his trusted aides to come to meet Adhitama and said that Azzam asked for time to discuss about Zhafira, who would immediately get an answer yes, so it did not take long, and today in the evening two great families held a meeting for the first time after the separation occurred between Aisyah and Adhitama.


Lesham's family members were attended by Azzam, and Azzam's three siblings to accompany Aisyah, and do not forget Siti as a person who is always next to Aisyah where Aisyah who already looks restless when the Bhalendra family is waiting for their arrival a little late.


" Calm yourself "


" Don't show your dislike to them all "


" Then we discussed this for the benefit of Zhafira "said Siti who actually applies not to Aisyah alone but to everyone without exception who is in the elevator.


All three of Aisyah's brothers were silent, including Azzam, hearing Siti's speech which they realized if Siti really meant to insinuate everyone without exception, without exception, It's just that they are all actually still too lazy to meet with members of the Bhalendra family especially with Adhitama. But what may be a bolt, maybe this is the right time for them to end their family drama. Although time has eroded resentment and disappointment towards Adhitama, there are interests of Zhafira and Zhidan that they must think of by being mature even though they cannot erase the traces of memories that have been etched in the hearts of members of the Lesham family, especially Aisyah.


Azzam said a sentence of greeting and greeting when he arrived at the private room in a luxury hotel that could accommodate a large number of people, in large enough numbers, where a large and sturdy round table is already there as a place where they will eat dinner.


Azzam preceded his brothers and his wife by shaking hands with all members of the Bhalendra family present there, including his sister-in-law who had lowered her head since the arrival of members of the Lesham family, who sometimes still steal - steal the view that makes the three Abang Aisyah other than Azzam throw eyes that mean dislike for the behavior of the Adhitama. Because even though they finally knew that Aisha was still the wife of Adhitama, the three of them still do not like if Aisyah will return together with Adhitama who has a Bhalendra family background that once presented a heart wound that until now is still very imprinted in the hearts of all family members Lesham.


" It's been "


" Be acting as you should. Didn't you say before to keep the attitude "Azzam said very slowly which was only heard by the three brothers and his wife Azzam.


Azzam's words instantly made the three of them bow their gaze. However upset they were with Adhitama, the three of them would die lice if Azzam had issued his edict.


Today's dinner greatly made the Bhalendra family rejoice when the Lesham family reopened the door of the friendship that had been cut off. Without discussing the past, some women from the Bhalendra family asked Aisyah to sit by their side which made Aisyah feel uncomfortable, but Siti gave a code that it was okay if Aisyah obeyed their request, inevitably Aisyah lowered her ego, especially when her mother-in-law who used to hate her is now asking Aisyah to be beside her but Aisyah does not immediately agree to the invitation of her former mother-in-law Aisyah according to Aisyah because Aisyah is still not knowing that the status of marriage between Aisyah and Adhitama is still not broken.


While Sultan Bhalendra just pay attention to every behavior of everyone who was there. Sultan Bhalendra smiled when he saw this togetherness that he missed so much. It would be wonderful if his great-grandchildren can also gather here, especially Sultan Bhalendra misses his favorite great-grandson, the only female great-grandson he has in the Bhalendra lineage


Brother Adhitama, Idris' other biological son invited and his third son because the son was very close to Idris. So when I saw Idris in the same room made the toddler cry loudly because he wanted to be near Idris. Idris, Aisyah's father-in-law who heard the sound of crying accompanied by the sound of shouting made her immediately stand up to hold her grandson to stop crying and then Idris chose to sit right next to the son. The granddaughter is now sitting sweetly on the lap of the grandfather.


This is done Idris so as not to interfere with the course of the conversation that is being established , but in this position makes Idris sit side by side next to the wife who made the wife who had never communicated with Idris secretly remove the trace of tears that accidentally dropped.


While Adhitama who saw there was a vacancy chair right next to Aisyah made Adhitama not waste the opportunity. With the courage of Adhitama sat beside Aisyah.


This made Aisyah open her eyes to Adhitama who pretended not to see the gaze of Aisyah's eyes that had protested with the actions of Adhitama who was sitting beside Aisyah. Without Aisyah knowing if this time Adhitama singled out a thin smile because she felt very happy to sit side by side with his wife again for the first time after their separation.


The sultan smiled again when he saw all those who mingled down their egos trying to improve the friendship that had been cut off in the past.


" My wife "


" Grandparents, your great-grandfather, Azzam "


" It must be happy, because for the first time we can re-assemble in this way" said Sultan Bhalendra who made the atmosphere instantly become silent because it permeates every sentence uttered by Sultan Bhalendra.


" We enjoy the evening meal first "


" After this, we will discuss what is the purpose of this meeting" said Sultan Bhalendra, who received a nod of his head from everyone.


From the family Bhalendra trying to invite the Lesham family to talk while waiting for the hotel presents a dinner menu for them to enjoy tonight. The three brothers of Azzam were still difficult to blend in as Azzam and his wives, as well as the wives of his brothers Azzam, did, still trying to suppress their ego by answering questions from the men in the Bhalendra family who are trying to melt the atmosphere. If the men from both sides still look stiff, do not apply to the women from both sides. Moreover, the women from the Bhalendra family who are still trying to invite Aisyah to speak with them. They miss the manly figure of Aisyah, who is always friendly to anyone without exception. Brother-in-law Aisyah even confidently approached Aisyah who was sitting near the Adhitama and not too far from Aisyah's father and mother-in-law.


Aisyah tried to be reasonable so as not to be too conspicuous if she still felt not too comfortable in the middle of the Bhalendra family. However, a gentle swipe on her palm made Aisyah turn her head towards the owner of the hand. How surprised Aisyah was when she saw the sad face of her mother-in-law who looked at her with a look full of regret.


But sometimes Aisyah's heartache when she saw the face of the person who hurt her heart and feelings in the past, Aisyah closed her eyes for a moment to slowly turn her face in the other direction and then exhaled her breath slowly as well.


The shadow of the past passes through time, the memory goes back to the time when Aisha had to give her heart and feelings for her husband, leaving her husband without explanation due to the evidence of infidelity in front of her eyes, how the attitude of the actor and his former mother-in-law who came to the mansion belonged to Aisyah and Adhitama. Even the mother-in-law haughtily said that the woman right next to her was the best woman who matched her son. It was done by the mother-in-law right in front of her three children.


So sad at that time, so Aisyah made a choice where at that time Aisyah chose to put love and hope and her household. Aisyah chose to leave Adhitama which turned out to have lost its taste to her.
