Episode 38: the:
Raindrops soaked the universe and its contents. The sound of his speck seemed to be a rhythm of shahdu, making the heart of a woman who had just been a widow became increasingly bitter.
He was sitting in front of the window of his room, watching every drop of rain that fell soaking every branch and foliage, and flowing through the window.
His gaze was straight forward, but his mind was currently focused on nothing. It is like a robot controlled by someone to be able to move.
From noon to afternoon, the rain did not subside. They felt like they had lost someone as good as Ferdi.
Yes, Ferdi Adi Wiranata. That's the full name of a CEO in two countries at once. The husband of Aisyah An, the adoptive father of Alina's daughter, a young girl whom she once helped from the cruelty of slander. Now that figure is just a name. The funeral this afternoon was proof of the return of the good man to the Khaliq's lap.
A pair of beautiful eyes and a face covered by the veil, is now watching Aisyah from behind the door of the room. He stared at his adoptive mother.
Maybe he also felt very lost to the figure who had contributed in his life, but it was not comparable to what Aisyah felt.
Losing that person for years, became his life spirit, his focus, and his only life companion.
There is no woman who is not sick if she loses someone she loves.
Ayesha is now a statue that does not move. Her pretty face was now pale unkempt.
Alina wiped her tears using the back of her hand. Alina may not know what it's like to lose a loved one forever, but she's also a sensitive woman.
Indria patted Alina's shoulder from behind, making the master turn his head.
Indria said nothing, but she hinted for Alina to come to Aisyah to comfort her. Because Indria knew, Aisyah currently only believed in Alina.
Oh yea. In addition to Indria and Alina, all the Ferdi family were also present at her funeral, and now they are all gathering at Aisyah's house, probably for three days after the conclusion. But unfortunately, Jaka and his family were unable to attend, because the girl is undergoing the final exam at this time. They only saluted Alina to Aisha, so that she would always be strong.
Ferdi's mother also attended his son's funeral, and he was very angry with Aisyah and blamed her for the death of his only child.
Alina still felt doubtful, she was afraid that Aisyah was currently not wanting to be disturbed. But due to the compulsion of Indria, Alina finally wanted to.
" Ma!" Alina held onto the shoulder of the adoptive mother very slowly.
Feeling that there was movement beside her, Aisyah turned her head. Looking at Alina, her tears were instantly unstoppable. He hugged Alina after crying in Alina's arms.
" Mama is alone, baby" he said.
" Mama can't say that. Mama is not alone, there is me, there is also Aa, Aunt Indria, grandmother, Alina family who are in the village as well, they all love Mama. You can't feel alone anymore!" he said while wiping the rest of his tears.
" But your grandmother hates Mama" he exclaimed.
" Mommy doesn't hate Mama, it's just that she's sad right now, so she's not aware of what she's saying. Don't take heart said grandma!" Finally Aisyah nodded.
" Ma, it's late afternoon. Mama hasn't eaten anything since this morning, Lina get me some food, yes" she said softly. But Aisyah nodded weakly. He then took his arms off Alina.
" Mama doesn't want to eat anything" she refused in a raucous voice.
" So, what does your mom want?"
" Mommy wants you to stay with Mama, you're here just like Mama!" said it. He held Alina's hand gently.
" Yes Ma, Alina will always be with Mama. But Mama ate first huh, Alina bribe. Sedikiiiiit alone is fine too!" Alina emphasized on her last sentence. Finally Aisyah nodded weakly, with a forced smile.
" A little yes!" reworked. Alina nodded and smiled. Then he immediately took food for Aisha and returned to Aisha's room.
" Here, mama eat first!" he said while feeding rice to Aisyah.
One bribe, two bribes, up to three mouthfuls Aisyah ate the rice given to her. But after a few more bribes, Aisyah refused.
" A little more Ma!" persuade Alina. But Aisyah still shook her head, finally Alina gave up to force her back.
" Daughter, have you seen Indria not?" ask Grandma Mariah to Alina who was about to deliver the dishes Aisyah used to eat to the kitchen.
" Am earlier, Lina saw Aunt Indria again in the park behind Nemenin Mama," replied Alina. The old woman then pushed her wheelchair to the place that Alina said earlier.
" Indria, Mama wants to go home soon!" Said Mariah suddenly in her cold and flat tone. Of course Aisyah and Indria were both surprised to hear the mother's sudden request.
" Loh Ma, what's the rush?" Ask Indria.
" Mama has not felt at home for long here," he said still with the same tone of voice and facial expression.
" Yes Ma, but what is the reason?" Ask Indria.
" Mama said not to feel at home, Mama also did not want to linger at home with this killer. It could be, tomorrow it's Mama's turn to die." His gaze was fixed on Aisyah, though not for long. It was very clear if those words were addressed to Aisyah.
Aisyah bowed sadly, she wiped her tears that started to drip back. The words of the mother-in-law seemed to be a dagger that slashed her qalbu niche.
Insults and insults from her mother-in-law, as if always ringing in her ears.
Sometimes, Aisyah thought she wanted to immediately follow her husband to the eternal realm, but she still had faith and common sense. Although sometimes he often complains with the trials that God gives him at this time, but does not make himself forget God.
" Ma, Mama can't accuse Mbak Aisyah like that, she doesn't do it Ma."
" This you, always defended him. For a long time he can visit if you defend continue." The senses could only exhale his breath roughly. He knew, arguing with his adoptive mother would be endless, at the very end he would also lose, better now he had to give up first.
" Yes yes, tomorrow we go home. Now you better rest in the room!" Indria said in a soft tone.
" No. Mama wants to talk to him first," pointed Mariah at Aisyah who had just lowered her head. Feeling himself appointed, Aisyah raised her head and ventured to meet face to face with the in-laws.
" What do you want Ma_mama to say to me?" Aisyah asked with nervousness.
" I just want to tell you, if all Ferdi companies, I've been named in the name of Indria, so you can't get a penny of Ferdi's gono-gini property" he said arrogantly.
" But you calm down. I am still kind enough to give this house to you. I hope you don't ask for more from me, because you're nobody to me anymore."
The last words Mariah spoke made her heart ache even more. For him, the treasure gono-gini he did not expect at all. But that made her heart even more broken, when Mariah did not consider herself anyone else in the family of her late husband.
Indria could not do anything or defend Aisyah, because she thought it was useless if she did. There's Mariah's disease that I'd have had to argue with her mother.
Indria pushes Mariah's wheelchair back into her room without saying another word.
Aisyah could only cry and covered her face with both hands.
