New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
Quality time Aisha and Faisal

Drrttt drrtt, it looks like the phone in Aisha's sling bag is shaking, and it's true that the husband asked for a video call against her. Looks like the prospective father has read a message from his wife who asked permission to go for a walk with her brother.

“Assalamualaikum beautiful, again where?” greet Faris from sebrang.

“Waalaikumsalam, this is again on the same road Kak Faisal Bang, same Gus Fakih as well,” said Aisha turned her camera towards the sister then towards her little Gus who was busy with her snacks in the back seat.

“Well to see the story?”

“Just take a walk here aja kok Bang, Aish is still afraid of nausea again in the distance.”

Faris also nodded in understanding with what his wife felt,”Sayang, try his camera towards Kak Faisal bentar.”

“Ok,” said immediately turn the direction of the camera on the brother who was driving. “This Brother wants to talk to Brother,” he added.

“Hai Ris, how is it there? Smoothly?” sapa Faisal started his conversation about business.

“Alhamdulillah Brother, everything is gradually improving.”

“Thank God, you don't stay there for long, Kasian Aish is with your son nih.”

“Iya ready Kak, insyaAllah maybe if everything is in order the day after I can go home.”

“This I ngajakin Aish streets so as not to sit in the apartment continue, is it okay right? The son of your cousin's brother also I invite.”

“Nnothing Brother, I even thank you Brother for taking time. I tipped them yes Brother, sorry really even ngerepotin Sister.”

“Hey Aisha tuh my sister well, who in her stomach is also my nephew if you forget. There is no nicotine-ngerepotin or anything like that,” said Faisal reminded Faris who still seems so reluctant to him. Faris just chuckled before the conversation resumed and they finally reached their destination.

“Gus Fakih has eaten what has not Gus?” aisha asked, looking back, afraid that the boy had not had time to have breakfast.

“Udah kok Mba, it was the same Umi Om Hasan as well,” replied Gus Fakih who is now lying down after spending one of his snacks.

“Kakak has breakfast?” Now it was her turn to her sister Aisha to ask.

“Udah was before coming here, in the unit Mother. You alone?”

Aisha shook her head weakly with a grin that made Faisal always anxious, “Ya Allah Aish, what time is this? You're pregnant with Aish, as a medical scholar Brother, you think you know more about this.” Inevitably Faisal was a little assertive to his sister, of course for the good of Aisha herself and the future niece in her stomach.

“Iya Aish understands Kak, but if you eat too early still like nausea. Aish does not like that he has been vomiting, where there is no brother,” he said defensively.

Faisal rubbed his sister's head gently, “Kakakak know this is heavy for you, but you have to keep thinking of the fetus in your belly Aish. He needs more in his growing age. So the wife of the rich great man Faris is not easy, and I understand that. But I hope you can be more patient. Every decision has its risks. Now we're looking for food yeah?”

Aisha also nodded weakly, what the elder sister said was right, every decision there was always a risk attached to it, and this was a risk as Madame Faris that she had to face. He must not be selfish about the comfort of himself when there is a life that also grows in his womb.

No matter how long Faisal pulled his car out in front of a fast food restaurant that offers a variety of typical Turkish food menus as well as other delicious foods. The goal is of course to bring his sister to breakfast, also Gus Fakih whose mother has entrusted to him.

“Fakih want to eat what Nak?” faisal asked, looking at the menu book.

“Fakih just ate Uncle, so no need.”

“Ya already, Fakih eat ice cream aja huh? Want?”

Hearing the food he likes mentioned makes Gus Fakih immediately nod quickly while sparkling, “Mau Uncle, Fakih want the taste of Banana chocolate,” he said immediately mentioned his favorite ice cream variant.

“Ok boy, uncle pesenin first well,” sahut Faisal immediately called a waitress then mentioned his third order, he himself only ordered dessert and other snacks to accompany Aisha breakfast, this is almost near lunch time.

“This is your order boy, consumiin well,” said Faisal thrust ice cream order boy was also a variety of pudding that is very suitable with children.

“Oh yes, I wonder how the story used to be you can go to the place of Gus Hasan, Aish. Brother wants to be horrified,” said Faisal made Aisha finally tell about how he tried to calm himself by going to the pesantren which turned out to be the property of Pakde and Bukdenya Faris in Yogyakarta, until finally the girl was edited by her husband.

Faisal leaned slightly towards Aisha who was sitting opposite him, worried that Gus Fakih would hear their conversation. Fortunately, the boy had been busy with ice cream and food, making Faisal and Aisha anxious themselves because the boy had been chewing food since the trip.

“What is also the reason why Hasan can like you?” faisal asked who finally understood how the young man who was so loved by his adopted sister actually loved his own younger brother.

Before actually answering the question, Aisha glanced at her little Gus, worried that he would listen to her and her brother's conversation.

“Gus, is the ice cream gone?” aisha asked to see that the ice cream bowl was empty.

“Udah Mba,” replied the boy while grinning to show a row of teeth that are neat enough for a child his age.

“What if we play Gus now? There,” said Aisha pointed to the children's playground which is intended for visitors to the restaurant.

Like a cat who saw a fish sprawled, the boy immediately nodded quickly, “Can Mba Ica?” the question sparkled, Aisha nodded quickly.

“Yuk.”

“Bentar ya Kak,” said Aisha as the two got up from their seats to the playground which was quite crowded by children of various ages.

“Gus, Mba Ica finish first eat Mba Ica well. From here, later if Guse is satisfied playing stay back to the table Mba Ica same Uncle Faisal,” said Aisha before her little Gus it really mingled with the other children.

“Ok ready Mba.” Gus Fakih also immediately scattered with other children who have oriental faces, maybe if seen only he who has an Asian face here. But it is not a thing to worry about by children the age of Gus Fakih, with the excitement of the child just keep playing like without burden.

While Aisha returned to the table where the sister was waiting, she thought her little Gus seemed to be fine, even though the boy was still within his sight range.

“Ngot anything Fakih left?” faisal asked when his sister returned.

“InsyaAllah is okay Brother, look too kok.” Faisal just nodded.

“Oh yes about the question of Brother earlier, Aish also did not know if it turns out that all this time Gus Hasan had more feelings, Aish thought Gus Hasan chose to study here because it was his desire, because it was his desire, it turns out that the reason is to avoid Aish and Abang as soon as he knows Abang wants to marry Aish. Ayla who told you everything, big brother when we first met at the restaurant? Same with Ayla and Gus Hasan.” Faisal nodded, recalling his second meeting with Aisha, who turned out to be his younger sister.

“Nah Ayla told Aish to go to the toilet again, and it turns out that Gus Hasan knows everything. He also confirmed what Ayla said at that time, and for the first time at that time Gus Hasan was honest about his feelings for Aish, unbeknownst to Abang,” explained Aisha while spending the rest of her food. And that explanation was able to make Faisal instantly gap, as determined as Gus Hasan with his feelings? Ayla was really hurt and scapegoated Aisha as the cause.

It's complicated love that is somehow divided, Faisal did not understand. Sometimes he also wonders why love often comes not to people who are also able to return love, is not it troublesome if we have to love people whose love is not for us? But what can we do, if it turns out that love is not us who govern it.

“Sampe now your husband doesn't know about this?” Faisal was really worried if only his sister-in-law would misunderstand and one day this became a problem for his sister's household, given that Faris and Hasan are the older cousins who are very close. It is not impossible that the reality of Gus Hasan's feelings will create a estrangement between the two.

“Udah Brother, Aish already told all the same Brother. Aish is afraid that Abang will know everything from others, so Aish thinks it is better for Aish to tell you first.”

“And your husband is fine?”

Aisha shook her head slowly, “Abang always tried to be okay in front of Aish, but clearly Aish knew that Abang must be in trouble. Brother has not thought Gus Hasan rich his own sister, because indeed the family of Gus Hasan the only relatives that you have.”

Faisal let out a long sigh, he understood how his sister-in-law felt. It was not easy when he knew that his beloved cousin was secretly in love with his wife who was also very dear.

“Abang always try to be ordinary just like Gus Hasan, Abang do not want to until Gus Hasan knows if it turns out Brother already knows everything. Brother is too dear to Gus Hasan, he does not want to let the relationship between the two become estranged because of this. That's why you chose silence.”

Faisal rubbed the top of his sister's head so gently and smiled beautifully, he really loved that figure more than anything, maybe even his own life.

“Now Brother so calm you're with your husband, it turns out he's really a good guy. Sister hope your household will always be filled with happiness in the future.”

The conversation continues, they tell each other about their previous lives until they feel like diving into each other's story in their previous lives.
