Aisha ransacked the drawer in the closet next to her bed, remembering that Rey had given her a business card when Rey drove Aisha home from the Blue Mosque.
He immediately recorded the mobile number listed on the card on his cellphone. One second, two seconds, silence not yet connected.
“The number you are calling is not in service at this time, please ..
“Rey ... please .. You must be okay right? You promised me you'd always be there for me Rey ..”
“The number you are calling is not in service at this time, please Again just the voice of the operator as he repeats his call.
He still had not given up, repeated the call. “The number you are calling ...”
Aisha drowned again when again only heard the voice of the operator from across, “Allohu .. means that Bener Rey is now again on the plane ..”
“Yes Allah is the One who has bowed down the vehicle, Rey is a good person, I beg you to protect her as well as all who are on the plane, let them set foot on your earth again ….” Aisha muttered with raucous as the water in her eyes now became more and more non-stop flowing.
Drrtt .. drrrttt .. The shakes of the phone in Aisha's hand made her flinch, for a moment the net sparkled because she thought Rey was calling her back. But he seemed too hopeful, someone who contacted him was just an officer from the apartment.
“Good afternoon Miss ...” A baritone voice that Aisha knows as an apartment security officer greets her as she puts the phone in her ear.
“Good afternoon Sir, what's up?” ask without further ado.
“Sorry Miss, there is someone who wants to meet you in the lobby at this time.”
Aisha frowned, the only people who knew she lived in this apartment were Rey and Faisal.
“What could Rey? Is it possible that she could be giving me another thought?”
“Who is Sir? Male or female?”
“Males Men. But I do not know who, I did not have time to ask his identity,” said the officer staring at Faisal who now chose to sit in a chair a few meters from where he stood.
“Good, I will see him soon,” said Aisha briefly then close the call.
Ting .. Aisha was immediately presented with the silhouette of a man who was sitting behind her in the lobby of the apartment.
His forehead frowned again as his steps got closer and he realized who the man was.
“Mr Faisal?” aisha said as if asking. This made Faisal rise from his seat and turn to face the woman who was now standing right behind him.
“Assalamualaikum Aisha ..” Faisal's smile instantly expanded as he greeted Aisha.
“Waalaikumsalam, what is it sir to bother looking for me to the apartment? Isn't your wound not completely improved?” said Aisha who was surprised because Faisal was looking for her.
While Faisal only smiled in response to Aisha's question without answering it, he reached into something from behind his jacket.
“Sorry I opened it. But can I know who the woman you are with is in this photo?” faisal asked shortly after opening Aisha's purse in her hand and showed her the photo attached to it.
“Sorry Sir, where can you get my wallet from? What happened to my mother?” Aisha asked back in surprise to see her wallet in Faisal's hands, Aisha herself did not even realize that she had lost her wallet.
While Faisal is now precisely sculpted with a facial expression that is not at all understood by Aisha.
“Mother? You said the woman in this photo is your mother?” Faisal asked quiveringly holding all the flavors in his chest.
Suddenly Aisha simply nodded her head heeding the question of the man before her.
“Your name is Aisha Ameera Al-Insani, is Doctor Muhammad Ameer your father?” Again Faisal asked something that Aisha did not understand.
“True, the deceased is my real father. But what is your relationship with my father? Looks like you know him well?”
“So dad's really gone?” faisal asked with raucets, which made Aisha even more confused because she called the father ‘ayah’ as well.
“Wait! I really don't understand what you're saying, sir. Why do you ask who is the woman who was with me in the photo and again why do you call my father the father?”
“I Faisal Ameer .. eldest son of the late Doctor Muhammad Ameer and Maya Pratiwi. This is Brother, Ais ..” Faisal said with raucous because he could no longer withstand the rate of water which is now increasingly hard to slide from both corners of the net.
While Aisha just stared in disbelief hearing all the confessions of the man before her.
“Ais .. This Sister, Deck. Brother did not expect if it turns out you are the same Mother also survived, Brother thought you had left Brother alone in this world.”
But the confession still does not make Aisha believe just like that.
“No! No way!” aisha said back her steps.
“I'm an only child, so there's no way you're my sister,” said Aisha unceasingly shaking in disbelief.
“You are not an only child Dek .. You have an older brother, and this is your older brother. Brother also managed to survive the accident.”
“No! This is impossible!”
“Aisha .. why have guests not invited to enter first anyway Dear?”
Maya who had just returned from her shopping immediately reprimanded her daughter who actually invited her guests to chat in the middle of the apartment lobby.
Both Aisha and Faisal turned to hear the woman's words. Faisal's heart was racing when he saw the face of the woman who gave birth to him now standing right in front of him, the woman he thought had left him.
“Mother ...”
Faisal stepped foot upon the mother, his knees as he bent as soon as he reached the woman he called ‘ibu’.
“Astaghfirullah .. what do you do Nak?” Maya suddenly jumped in shock when Faisal suddenly rested at her feet.
Slowly Faisal stood up again, grabbed by the hand of the mother who did not hold the grocery bag.
“Mother remember this face?” faisal asked with raucets while sticking Maya's hand on his own face.
Highlight the eyes of the two were suddenly squaring, diving into each other.
“Mom remember that boy who used to whine asked his father and mother for a little sister?” faisal said back with Maya's hands that he did not let go of his face.
While Maya is still faithful with her silence, she just peeks at the look that Aisha does not understand what it means.
Faisal slightly retreated his steps, his hand slowly removing the top shirt button behind his jacket, revealing a stitch scar still clearly marked on his upper left chest.
“Do you remember this wound?” Faisal asked again when Maya still did not show any reaction.
“Bu! Clearly Aisha who is the one who is the one who claimed to be Aisha's sister Bu? Isn't Aisha the only daughter of the same mother? So who is this guy Bu?” Aishapun approached, asking for an explanation to the mother for what she witnessed.
“What is this Ice that always Isal asks for Mom? Isn't it true that Miss Isal's guess? Isal's sister is female.”
As Maya's heart ached to hear all those words, the shadows of an accident that had to make her lose her husband and eldest son made Maya want to keep all those memories together.
Instantly the bag of groceries in his grasp fell down, making the contents inside scatter to the floor. The tears that had been piling up in his eyes now fell as well.
For a moment Maya's hand trembled as she was about to reach Faisal's face again, the tightness immediately burst out as she looked back at the face she thought was gone, “Kakak … is this true you son?” he said with a trembling voice.
