Azka was dumbstruck on the bed, staring at where Diana used to spend her time.
He was not used to the silence he felt now.
He slowly got up from his seat, approaching the place where Diana always beradarus al-qur’an there.
His heart ached when it turned out that his household should be in this state.
The corner of her eyes was wet, her heart felt unwilling if Diana was to truly walk away from her life.
But he also can not forget Aisha, because in his little heart is only the name Aisha who was mentioned there.
Azka immediately ran towards the car, starting the engine and splitting the city streets at an unusual rate.
His car stalled in the yard of a house that felt more worthy to be nicknamed the palace.
He stepped foot steadily towards the main door, had not had time to squeeze the bell, netraannya catch the figure of a woman who some days disturbed the day.
There was a sound of the woman monologuing with the baby in her stomach, there was a trench created from the corner of her eye.
“Help mommy ya darling, help mom melt your dad's heart. I promise, when you come out later I will not let you feel what I feel right now,” said the woman as she stroked her stomach that protruded behind the dress.
Azka's heart was claustrophobic hearing the moans, she felt very useless as a husband because she could let the wife who was pregnant with her baby actually suffered because of her attitude all along.
“I will help you fulfill your promise to our child,” said Azka who was behind Diana.
“Mas Azka,” said Diana was surprised, immediately she wiped her tears with the tip of her hijab.
“I still love Aisha, I can't forget her yet, but I still have common sense Di, I understand my responsibility, even though I haven't fully been able to do it to you, so I hope you'll give me another chance at.”
“Sorry, because of me you have to feel all this. Sorry if all this time always makes you hurt,” replied Azka Parau.
“I am afraid Mas, I am afraid of the attitude of your lab like this, because I have repeatedly given the opportunity, in fact I am disappointed that I get again and again. You should know Mas sometimes I am tired, tired of the heart that I let broken many times.”
“I know I was wrong Diana, but I beg you, at least for the sake of your promise to our son.”
“We go home well, for the sake of our child,” invite Azka to hold Diana's hand with a pleading gaze.
Honestly, Diana was still afraid to go back to the same hole, but for the sake of the baby she was willing if in fact had to get hurt again.

“You sure you want to go alone Sha?”
“I'm okay ko Faris, you are calm aja.”
“Mother can't nemenin you?”
“Mother still many orders, kasian dia.”
“Kalo so I anterin you yah?”
“No need, patients here need you more.”
“I just want you to doang, keep going back again,” said Faris still forced, he did not have the heart to let Aisha go alone.
“Ih said no need, I will be able to take a taxi,” replied Aisha assured Faris.
“But if there is anything, you directly contact me well? Promise?”
“Iya yes bring,” replied Aisha mocked.
“I'm serious Aisha,” Faris replied while ruffling Aisha's veil.
“Ih was a mess,” grumbled Aisha sambal tidied back her hijab.
“Cakep no?” tanyanya after tidying up her hijab.
“Always,” replied Faris praised.
“Still ,”Aisha replied sparkling.
“I leave well, Assalamualaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam, be careful.”
Aisha immediately ordered a taxi online to the address that Diana sent, actually there is still a pain because of having to attend Diana's pregnancy thanksgiving, Aisha is afraid that her defense fortress collapsed if reunited with Azka, but in honor of Diana's invitation, she had to be tough.
Aisha's taxi stopped in Diana's courtyard, and Aisha stepped into the house after first preparing her heart.
Diana immediately welcomed Aisha's warm arrival, and took Aisha to the place of the female worshipers.
Aisha was only able to breathe a sigh of relief after learning that it turned out that between female and male worshippers were blocked by the hijab, so there was no reason for her to meet Azka.
Aisha sat at the front of the shaf beside Diana, both of whom sat listening intently to the tausiyah conveyed by the preacher.
At 21:00 local Indonesian time the event was over, Aisha said goodbye to Diana after enjoying the dishes served. Diana drove Aisha to the front.
“You sure you don't want to wait in Dalem Sha?”
“Nothing Di, I wait here aja, just a moment again the taxi came,” reject Aisha, honestly she was avoiding Azka.
“You enter aja gih, kasian dedenya tau if you wait here later cold,” continued Aisha stroked Diana's stomach that bulged.
“It's really okay?”
“Iya Diana, you enter aja.”
“Ya I've entered well, thanks for putting dateng in the middle of your schedule super padet.”
“Apaan anyway, ordinary ko. I already consider you like my own brother Di,” replied Aisha kindly.
Suddenly Diana hugged Aisha tightly.
“But yes Sha, after everything that happened you do not hate the same I actually even behave like this same me, I am very grateful to be able to meet a noble hearted girl like you,” said Diana sobbed.
“You don't have to think like that Di, I've learned to accept everything. Now your task is just to take good care of what you have now,” replied Aisha soothingly.
“Now you enter well, not good loh pregnant women long ago hit the night wind.”
“Any Lady Doctor, I'm in,” replied Diana who followed the oddity of the two.
After Diana enters, Aisha waits alone in front of the courtyard, although there are actually many guests who pass by to go home.
Aisha re-ordered several times, but never found a driver. Aisha was confused as to how she got home.
There was no way she could call Faris, Aisha was afraid to disturb him. After he tried again, he finally got the driver, although the distance was still good enough to wait.
“Aisha!” call Azka who immediately approached when she saw Aisha standing alone.
Realizing Azka's arrival, Aisha immediately stepped away, but suddenly her arm was restrained by Azka.
“You're not the same as Faris?”
“Faris busy,” Aisha replied briefly.
“Kalo I anterin you.”
“No need, soon the driver I came to ko.”
“You no longer shy away from me right Sha?”
“That's all I have to do?”
“Why should it be?”
“After everything that happened, now you ask me why Mas?”
“What does that mean you still love me Sha? You still can't forget me? Because I'm the same Sha, I still love you.”
“Enough is ENOUGH! You already have Diana and your future children, so I beg you not to forget your responsibility mas.”
“You still love me, I beg you to love Diana as much as you love me, at least for the sake of your future child,” continued Aisha who was already teary-eyed.
Azka had not yet answered, suddenly the taxi in Aisha's message came. Aisha immediately ran to the cab and left Azka alone.
Aisha was not yet strong enough to linger near Azka. His heart was still sore when he had to give up his love for the sake of another woman.
In the taxi Aisha sobbed alone, she did not care what the driver who took her would think.
Fortunately, the address Aisha intended was clearly stated in the application, so the driver did not need to ask Aisha much.
Suddenly at a crossroads there is a truck that lost control leads to a taxi that Aisha is riding.
“Awas sir!” aisha yelled at the driver to avoid the truck in front of her.
But, dear, God says something else. A car that both dodged from the truck in front of him hit the taxi that Aisha was riding in, causing the taxi to bounce up to the roadblock.
Many people gathered to witness the incident of the consecutive accident. Sirens of police cars and ambulances kept each other down to the scene to evacuate victims.

“Waalaikusalam, yes bu.”
“What Aisha stopped by the Hospital first son?”
“Ngak ko bu, Faris just came out of the operating room.”
“Loh time yes this hour has not come home yet son, from earlier mother try phone but not connect.”
“Mother rest easy at home, let Faris the nyusulin Aisha ya bu.”

“Iya bu well, Assalamualaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.” The phone was cut from across.
Tut ... Tut ... the number you are going to is inactive or is located .. tut. the call was disconnected by Faris, even he did not give the operator a chance to finish his speech.
“Where the hell are you Sha?” faris said in a monologue.
Faris immediately took off her doctor robe and changed it with a jacket to catch up with Aisha. He walked quickly out of the room. But his steps stopped when a nurse ran up to him.
“Doctor Faris wait Doc!” the nurse gasped for running.
“What's up? I'm in a hurry here.”
“But this Doc is an emergency, there is a continuous accident at the front intersection. We're told to prepare for a patient while the ambulance gets here.”
Inevitably Faris undoes his intention to find Aisha, he must prioritize his duties as a doctor.
Wiw ... Wiw ... The sound of ambulance sirens was clear, all the doctors, residents, internships, koas and nurses immediately ran to the arriving ambulance.
“You take care of the patient in the next ambulance,” said the senior doctor to Faris.
The next ambulance arrives. Ambulance officers rushed out the patient with a gurney.
“Astaghfirulloh Aisha!” faris shouted when she found out that someone who was covered in blood on the gurney was the woman she was looking for.
As soon as his legs were squeezed, his tears were shedding so hard.

I put your name in prayer
I made you wish
I too am the only one who can crave you in Nestapa
The universe never taught me how to love you
Yet my faithfulness remains rhythmic without pseudo
Right, that's how great you are incarnate
Until my prajaju just pivoted on one name
Until I dream of a paradise that is no longer just a story
