New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
Hah?

The streets are quite quiet make Faris easily drive his range rover. The distance that would normally take up to forty minutes can now be passed by Faris in just twenty minutes.

“Bukde! Sabina MBA!” faris shouted shortly after she set foot in her house.

“Le!” Nyai Hamidah and Ning Sabina were moved towards Faris who had just arrived.

“Where is Aisha Bukde? How is he doing?” ask Faris to panic.

“Collect yourself first Le. We go to your room yes,” said Nyai Hamidah to calm his nephew.

“We take the Bukde.” elevator

Nyai Hamidah and Ning Sabina directly followed Faris into the elevator.

Ting, in just seconds the elevator door opened.

“You have this malem overtime Ris?” ning Sabina asked who saw her cousin's sister still wearing a complete operating uniform.

“Udah Faris cancel all Mba,” he replied as he placed his thumb on the scanner on his door.

Pippp, the door to his room was open.

“Ica ..., Honey, where are you?” shouted Faris who found her room empty.

“Aisha ...” Nyai Hamidah and Ning Sabina also searched for Aisha's whereabouts.

Faris's vegetables heard the sound of a sob, he sharpened his listener's senses following the direction of the sound source.

Brakkk, a very stifling sight the three of them could see as Faris loudly opened his walk in closet door.

Aisha was sobbing hugging her own knees by leaning against the wall in the corner of the walk in closet.

“Sayang ...,” call Faris slowly, he also crouched in front of his wife.

Crumple, tightness ....

That's what Faris felt at this time, his heart ached to hear his wife's sobs.

The science of treating which he had been in need of was useless when he again saw his wife wounded.

Faris lifted the wife's face gently to look at her.

“Bang ...”

“Yes Darling, this is Brother Ca,” he answered softly holding Aisha's cheeks, gently wiping away the tears that had flooded his wife's face.

“Bang Faris?”

“Iya Ca, this is Brother, Dear. Brother is here.” Faris then kissed the top of Aisha's head fondly.

“We go out first Bin, let Aisha tell us,” whispered Nyai Hamidah who was immediately taken by her daughter.

Slowly Aisha's hand was raised stroking her husband's face which seemed to worry him a lot.

“Bang ... Bang Faris, sorry .. sorry Ica Bang.”

Aisha's consciousness as if interested, she immediately hugged her husband tightly. Her cry broke on the shoulder that had always been her protector.

“Iya Darling, whatever Ica error must be Brother sorryin.”

Faris also grabbed his wife's body, clutching it tightly. Letting the wife put all the sadness on her shoulders.

“I and Ayla are not siblings,” said Faisal casually as he walked towards the fridge to grab a drink.

“Ayla know about this Kak?”

Gus Hasan who was quite surprised still stared at his place, ignoring Faisal's hand that was about to give him a can of drink.

“Of course he knows, all Baba's family here also know if I am just a live hitchhiker,” Faisal said staring at thousands of stars from behind the balcony of his apartment.

Gus Hasan followed Faisal's steps to the balcony, leaning his back against the iron fence that was sturdy enough to hold the weight of both.

“Twenty years ago in Ankara, a terrible tragedy cost me my family. I was only ten years old and could only cry when the car that was carrying me and my family exploded killing the rest of it. Until finally Baba came to take me who only stayed a kara after the incident.”

It felt like there was a very stifling burden when Faisal had to recall the terrible event, there was a liquid that might show his weakness that Faisal had to hold in the eye.

“Means Kak Faisal is native Indonesia?” asked Gus Hasan who was like feeling the sadness of Faisal.

Faisal just nodded without looking. His gaze still had not shifted from the stars that seemed to encourage Faisal from above.

“That's why I always refuse to come if we and our family vacation to Mami's hometown in Yogya. I was too weak to set my foot back there.”

“Did you not want to try to find out about other Brother families in Indonesia?”

“Hasan do not know if it turns out that Brother who is always proud Ayla has a dark story like gini. Maybe this is not easy for Brother, but believe God's plan is always more beautiful Brother. Allah will not test his servant beyond the limits of the ability of the servant himself,” Gus Hasan said trying to encourage Faisal.

“Ayla does know everything about me, but I always try my hardest not to show this sadness in front of my sister, let him not hesitate to take refuge in his brother's arms and chest when he feels unsafe.”

Now Gus Hasan realized, how much favors God really great for him.

Without Gus Hasan knowing, it turns out there are still many other humans who are heavier trials than him, such as Faisal and Faris his cousin for example. When he felt small, he was ashamed because he had always complained when God's love was so infinite for him.

Tired ....

That was how Aisha felt after hours of crying.

She then stretched out her arms, rubbed her eyes and nose, put as much air into her lungs and then quietly stared intently at the tired face of her husband who seemed very worried about her.

“Ica really why hem?” faris asked gently rubbing the remaining tears on Aisha's face.

Aisha looked down, taking her eyes off her husband's face.

“Ica menstruation,” said Aisha softly without lifting her face.

“Hah?” Faris who was quite surprised tried to make sure if he did not hear wrong.

Suddenly Aisha lifted her face, looking at her husband with a very adorable face according to Faris.

“Ica menstruation, Brother,” reset Aisha nods her head small.

Faris was just silent gawking at Aisha's reply, her originally crouching position suddenly sitting limp on the walk in closet floor.

“Bang? Brother must be angry, right? Sorry Ica well,” said Aisha while shaking the body of the husband who did not move with her blank look.

Faris rubbed his face rough, putting as much air into his nasal cavity as possible.

“Ica self-contained here from earlier only because Ica menstruation?” ask Faris in disbelief.

The one asked was just plain nodding.

“Astaghfirullah Darling, continue what is wrong if Ica menstruation?” ask Faris who is really anxious about the behavior of the wife.

“Ica know if the family Abang want to cepet dapet grandchild from Abang, Ica also know if Abang also would want to cepet have children right? Bukde even made jamu kayak so let us stick it, and after all our efforts because of the herbal medicine, suddenly today Ica even menstruation! What do you think Ica's feeling trying? How disappointed Bukde is with Ning Sabina because it turns out their efforts are not fruitful,” said Aisha at length even without pause with tears that have returned to waste.

Faris's laughter exploded hearing his wife's words.

“Again laughing anyway? Nothing funny!”

“How can you not laugh? Ica people talk at length so there is no pause like a train that is chasing aja deposit, hahaha, gemes Abang tuh, ” replied Faris in between his laughter.

“Aw aw aw.”

Faris instantly stopped her laughter as she felt something like biting her arm, especially if it was not the death pinch of the wife.

“Iya Yes Darling, geez.”

Aisha just pursed her lips because she was half dead she was already scared if Faris would be disappointed but instead her husband just laughed at her.

“Sayang, nih ya dengerin Abang,” said Faris holding both cheeks of the wife to look at him.

“Abang never at all disappointed if until now it turns out Ica has not been able to get pregnant. The boy's sitting, honey. Maybe now God has not entrusted His care to us, so Ica does not need to feel burdened because Ica has not managed to get pregnant. The Bukde section with Mba Sabina also definitely knows, they will not burden Ica,” said Faris to calm the wife.

“Totally?” aisha looked at the husband's black bead, trying to find a lie there, but she didn't find it.

“Truly Humairaku. In fact, there is no benefit also if Ica menstruation now? So later when we leave umrah, Ica is already holy and do not need to worry anymore our umrah worship is disturbed.”

“Iya anyway yah.” Aisha could only think clearly after hearing her husband's words.

“Bang?”

“Hem?”

“From the same stomach Ica waist pain,” groan Aisha holding her stomach and waist.

“Ya has asked Bukde to make pain reliever herbal medicine well,” said Faris then lift the tiny body of the wife ala bridal style, and, get out of the walk in closet and lay it down slowly on his king size bed.
