Mom and Abi
After Azan Ashar, I and Ani unbeknownst to Ares, Ros came to the house of Abi Bukhari, the father of Aisha.
Shakiness, guilt, pain and tightness arrived when I was welcomed by this family, the family whose daughter I had hurt in such a way.
"Assalamualaikum Abi, mother." I said softly, my tears have really been on the verge of limits.
"Waalaikum salam Zayana, Abaghfirullah hal'azim what's wrong" said the mother of Aisyah, she embraced and propped me up to sit down.
"I'm sorry Za ma'am." I said softly.
"What's Zayana doing?" asked Abi Bukhari, a firm but affectionate father, Abi was different from my father, who preferred assertiveness.
"Za came to apologize" I said again.
"What about son? you have nothing wrong with Abi and our mother or family" said Aisyah's mother.
"Za has destroyed everything, Mom, Za has tarnished your trust, forgive Za, Za thought by going and keeping everything by herself will make Aisyah happy and her family does not bear shame, but Za was wrong, Za said, za should have stayed here and explained everything."
"What do you want to explain, son? Abi doesn't understand, it's best to drink and calm your mind first."
I sat down and took a sip of the water that was in the hands of the mother of Ayesha, yes the mother of the woman I made crying because of my actions.
After I calmed down, and I wanted to explain everything, Ares came with Bude Ros.
"Assalamualaikum, Abi's mother, sorry Ares came without telling first, but Ares came looking for Zayana." Ares's eyes were on me, my eyes were still red, let him know what my real purpose is.
"Sit down first, drink and calm yourself Ares" Abi Bukhari said.
Ares sat down and was still fixedly staring at me, but as if knowing what was going to happen, Abi started a light conversation with him.
"Two years more did not meet, and now comes suddenly, what is it, how are your father and mother? how are you doing?" abi Bukhari.
"Alhamdulillah Abi, my news is good, like what Abi saw, and sorry I rarely ask Abi and mother" said Ares.
"Well, my mother, I got married two weeks ago, and that's also my arrival here, I'm going to pick up my wife" he said gently.
"Zayana's your wife?" ask Abi Bukhari.
"True Abi, Zayana is my wife."
"Son Ares, she's the girl Ayesha mentioned that night?" said Ms. Aminah.
"Yes, she's a woman that Ares loves and can never be replaced by anyone including Aisyah, I'm sorry I hurt this family too deeply" he said.
"You know what keeps us from hating you and from driving you out of this house, do you know Ares what Aisha said that night?"
Silent... Ares was silent, while I who was in a weak state and could not hear what they were talking about could only remain silent.
"Aisyah says, if she can't be with a man who can't love her whole, she asks for a divorce because she regrets having snatched someone from her true love, he does not want to live in guilt even though he loves you so much he will let go of those who do not want to defend him, before going to Jeddah, Aisyah said, for whatever sake never hate Ares, never hate Ares, because marriage happens because of his will, not because of your will, so I can hold my chest, but I do not know there is a love triangle between you" said Abi Bukhari in a disappointed tone.
"Zayana, don't you think before all this happens, that man will marry someone who always accompanies you when you fall? and you're Ares, don't you pity someone who's even willing to do anything for his love?" ask Abi who is still angry.
Abi Bukhari's anger I can still understand, even he deserves to do all that to us, I too if in his position might be more angry than this.
"I don't know how disappointed my daughter was at the time, nor did I expect that you would actually divorce her and go after the woman you love, but were angry for what you were already together for, as your teacher and former father-in-law, I can only wish you both the best, Aisyah is pregnant, she got married one year ago, after a few months of divorce from Ares, in Jeddah God reunited him with the man who had loved him in peace, the man who had never pursued him and disappeared, Aisyah thought the man would never return to his life, but God is all-good, God shows that his choices are wrong, and shows him someone who is right for him." Abi Bukhari smiled as her tears almost fell, I saw her shady eyes.
"Ares was happy, however, Ares was not a good man who could be with a woman as good as Aisyah, forgive Ares for incising wounds in Abi's heart and family, but this is Ares' choice." Ares said his heart that might not have been finished.
"Next week Aisyah has arrived in the country, mother asked to meet him, and finish what is not resolved, I'm sure Aisyah will understand."
"Mother, everything is done, Aisyah has understood and even she has stepped far earlier than I and Zayana" said Ares.
Some time talking I came to the conclusion that Aisha's parents knew nothing about Me and Ares, maybe Aisha did not know anything about all this, O Allah cover our disgrace, if that is the best.
