'A series of words I groaned in my mind that I could not pour out.
In the mute I was still filled with doubt as to where the direction was headed.
O khalik, you,
My silence and mute only you know what I really want to surmise. However, or is this self-sufficiency implying a million desires for which I myself am not sure I will be able.
Oh my God, yes Robb ..
A whir of the wind tonight bears a silent witness in the shackles I cannot understand.
With 'bismillah' I look forward to Your twilight, I look forward to Your ridho, I look forward to a divine destiny that I must fulfill with all my heart.'

Aya closed a diary that had been a witness in her every joy and sorrow.
Aya got up and left a trail on her wooden bench.
A step towards the ketepi cot. Aya leaned back and stared at a shadow.
He looks like a figure he misses a lot.
"Change. May Abah be at peace with Him. Aya will leave our house tomorrow. A'ak Rey is coming to pick up Aya. Abah, Aya will try to be a good wife for Aya's husband even though Aya does not know her yet. Aya promise, whatever happens, Abah's message will always Aya remember. Good night Abah, assalamualaikum ..." After a few words were spoken, Aya could now close her eyes.
....
Tin... Tin...
The sound of a car horn was heard in Aya's eardrum.
Aya who was ready immediately came out to greet her husband.
In front of the terrace, Rey still refused to go inside.
"Assynualaikum, Ak? Come on in first," said Aya politely.
"No, we'll just go straight, '" Rey said.
"Emm, just a minute Ak, Aya take Aya's clothes first," said Aya hurriedly.
Rey kept staring at the watch in her hand.
"How long is it! Does she want to dress up first. Cih, the face is covered so what he wants to groom!" umpat Rey is upset.
After a few minutes, Aya finally revealed her shadow until finally her body was completely visible to Rey's eyes.
"Come on Ak, I'm ready" said Aya by showing a different look. If earlier Aya only used a large mukena in black and veil. Now Aya has been wearing colored shar'i clothes. Although still using the veil, but in Rey's eyes this look looks more comfortable to look at.
"Lumayan," Rey said as she helped Aya carry her suitcase. For a moment, Aya felt a sigh of something that made her heart not get confused with Rey's attitude.
Rey looked at Aya who was still staring.
"You want to come or not!?"
"Ah, yes Ak," said Aya nervously as she sprinted following Rey's steps.
Inside car. Rey and Aya are ready to leave the village. Rey looks relaxed, different from Aya. From earlier he continued squeezing his hands to wipe away the cold sweat that always came out from the pores of his palms.
"Yes, I forgot not to say goodbye to your grandmother, Aya," said Rey to make Aya's daydreams crumble.
"Ah, is it Ak?"
"I forgot not to say goodbye to your grandmother" he said again.
"Oh, grandma is targeting Ak. But I just said hello to my aunt."
"Emm, isn't your relationship with your aunt not good?" ask Rey.
"Emm, they are actually good for Ak" said Aya who did not want to give a bad impression on Rey's family.
Rey just kept quiet to hear Aya's answer.
Aya glanced at the flash towards Rey who was driving.
I don't know what Rey is thinking, she is completely reluctant to glance and look at Aya.
It may be because of the focus of driving or for some other reason.
Aya decided to take out the small book she placed inside her backpack.
Aya read very carefully some of the letters in the book.
Rey who did not glance at Aya at all, tried to raise the volume of classical music that he liked. Aya who heard very loud music, could only take a deep breath to be patient and refocused with the small book in her hand.
At last at the red light. Rey who was about to take a drink finally saw Aya who was focusing on reading a book.
"Did you read that?" ask Rey.
"Ah, yes Ak. Emm, I read it before A'ak raised the volume" Aya replied.
Rey simply nodded in understanding and then turned off the music.
Without saying anything, Rey stepped on the gas of her car slowly.
Afraid that her attitude would disturb Rey, Aya finally closes her book and puts it back in her backpack.
Rey is still indifferent and reluctant to look Aya back until finally their car enters the elite residential area.
Aya stared at several large houses with gates soaring that they covered the terrace of the house courtyard.
Rey presses a remote and the gate automatically opens.
Aya unceasingly uttered words of amazement with all the greatness of the Almighty God.
"Let's go down" Rey said as she removed her seatbelt.
"Yes Ak" said Aya as she hurriedly followed Rey's movements.
Aya stared at the roof of several towering support pillars.
"Ak, is papah here too?" asked Aya who saw a house this big but there was no one.
Rey who was opening the trunk of the car to pick up Aya's suitcase just kept silent.
Aya who did not get an answer just lowered her head and fell silent.
Now they have entered the main room which is quite large.
Rey just put Aya's suitcase away.
Rey took a gesture to open a drawer and pick up something.
"It's money, it's an ATM card, it's a car key, it's a house key. I've done my duty as a husband and now it's your turn to complete your duties as a wife," said Rey while putting the money on the mattress without a second glance Aya who was still silent in the place where she stopped her steps.
"What! Is tonight really going to happen!?" aya's mind with a vibrating body.
Seeing no answer, Rey now looked Aya in the eye intensely.
Aya who gets a meaningful look from Rey's eyes is increasingly unable to control herself. Her heart was actually beating very fast and her legs started to shake very strongly, behind her veil, Aya bit her lips very strongly.
Rey's feet slowly walked toward the woman he did not recognize but was now his wife.
Aya deepened her bow.
"Your duty as a wife is to keep our promise of agreement. Did you forget?" tanya Rey reminded Aya.
Hearing that, Aya felt wrong.
"Yes Ak, but what's our deal?" aya asked considering they had no agreement yet.
"Our agreement is, enough you don't disturb my life and your path is my command" Rey said casually, but heavily in Aya's ear.
"Well Ak" replied Aya who did not know what to answer because Rey did not detail what the content and meaning of the unwritten covenant was.
"good. Tonight I'm going to marry a woman next to this house. I hope you don't say this to my family" Rey said coldly but sounded emphatic.
Aya straightened her gaze, and now Aya's eyes were staring at Rey's field chest. Aya wants to direct her eyes to look into Rey's eyes but she is unable to.
Aya didn't know what to say.
"O Allah, is this one of the tests of our marriage? Soon the test will come. O God, though I do not know my husband, yet this heart aches to hear him. Polygamy is not forbidden for some reason. However, I dare not say what reason A'ak Rey wants to marry another woman. What should I say, God, give me your lead!?" aya's mind is filled with uncertain feelings. Aya herself now chose to bow her head back.
Rey still stared intently at his wife. Rey still could not understand what Aya's refusal to look at her meant. According to Rey, asking for permission is better than having to hide.
"I just wanted to tell you this, I didn't ask for your permission or your blessing. One thing's for sure, don't tell my family if I've been with you. Until now, do you understand!?"
Aya is still reluctant to talk makes Rey's patience eroded because Aya's moaning does not respond to his words.
With a rude Rey slammed the door making Aya's heart beat uncharacteristically because of hearing a very shrill sound of stomping.
He fell into the chaos he was feeling. From the beginning their relationship was fine and Aya thought it would last the next.
One week ago she was confirmed by her husband, and now her husband will be raising another woman.
Aya's tears poured out to Allah. He hoped to be given great strength and fortitude.
"O Allah, if this is a message that you have written for the servant. God willing I will live it with a chest. But, O heart-pumping, give the servant the strength to live all the favors you give in the form of this wonderful ordeal. With bismillah, I insyaallah ridho's servant is mingled by the servant's husband." Outpouring of a wife who is ready to be pitted by her husband.
Aya wiped her tears and got back up. She has blessed her husband and scolded him, so he must not drag on in deep sorrow.
"Well, I will cook something and I will give it to them as a form of congratulations for their marriage" Aya said trying to strengthen her heart.
