Patience of the Son-in-law
Chapter 7 - The Beginning

The Flashback

Handika Atmajaya has been dating Aisha for a year. Then the two decided to get married. Initially Handika will be betrothed by the mother to the daughter of one of her fellow artists.

But Handika refused because she wanted to marry on the basis of her own love and choice. Not from a match.

Handika has a lot of tears from her own family. As the eldest son of the Atmajaya family, of course, he knew that his father was married to his mother because of arranged marriage and compulsion from the pressure of his grandparents.

Yeah right, yeah, Budi Atmajaya married Ida Sagita because of the matchmaking of their parents when at that time Budi Atmajaya had a lover whom he loved named Resya Damayanti who was none other than his biological mother Faizan.

As a result Budi Atmajaya can not do much because of the threat from his parents if not married to Ida Sagita then Resya's life will be made difficult. After six years of marriage, Budi Atmajaya managed to marry Resya Damayanti.

A year later, Faizan was born. Resya died shortly after giving birth to Faizan due to heavy bleeding. Budi Atmajaya was devastated to lose the woman he loved especially after giving birth to his son.

Finally inevitably Budi Atmajaya brought baby Faizan to the main house. And from that moment Mama Ida took care of Faizan. Handika really loves her sister even though they are different mothers.

As a child, of course, Handika did not know about the facts of her parents' marriage. But when he grew up he was told a little experience by the Papa. That his father will not manage his personal life especially about the soul mate.

Whoever the woman of choice of his two sons will certainly be blessed as long as the two are in love with each other. Because of the experience of Budi Atmajaya who married because of arranged marriage, he did not want his son to experience anything unpleasant for marriage based on arranged marriage.

Although out there there are also marriages that come from arranged marriages in fine conditions. As a father, he released whatever the best decision of his children was regarding marriage and marriage.

Because for Budi, this is not the time of Siti Nurbaya, which is all arranged by parents. And the child should only be obedient and fainted without being able to argue.

Handika first got to know Aisha when she worked as a marketing officer at the senior level of a well-known private bank in Jakarta. Handika is applying for loans at the bank for additional company funds.

Atmajaya Corp at that time the condition was not like the current up-and-coming in the property and real estate business. At that time Handika came with her secretary. The bank's sales manager asked Aisha as a senior-level marketing officer who was shining in his performance to handle Atmajaya Corp's demand.

From there the two met and Handika was immediately fascinated by the appearance and good speech and softness of an Aisha. The communication between the two continues outside. Handika and Aisha decide to date.

Of course, the readers asked, was not Aisha her job as a guard girl at the train ticket sales counter at Gambir Station, Central Jakarta, when Faizan first met Aisha?

How come Aisha met Handika with a different job?

Indeed, the one who met Aisha first was Faizan not Handika. Faizan first met Aisha when Faizan was twenty (20 years old) and Aisha was twenty-five (25 years old).

Faizan and three of his college friends including his best friend named Benny will leave for Bandung. This is because there is a shooting job that they have to do there.

Faizan worked side jobs as a photographer in addition to being busy in college. Because he did not want to rely too much on the Atmajaya family especially when the Papa had died.

At that time Benny accidentally lost his ticket that far away they had printed and brought each. As a result Benny asked the admin counter to reprint because he was waiting for his friends inside.

At that time the admin on duty was Aisha with two friends. One of them is named Lala who is the same age as Benny. Lala insists she will not reprint and accuses Benny of being a stowaway. Coincidentally, at that time Benny was ordinary looking not in the style of parliament when he was from a family owned.

He only wore a t-shirt, jeans full of tears, flip-flops and a backpack and the middle hair was disheveled and even the face seemed tangled. He woke up late and rushed to the station. I didn't even have time to shower or have breakfast.

Faizan was waiting for Benny long enough where the train departure time was about ten minutes away. Faizan called Benny and his best friend said he was in the parking lot.

But that was half an hour ago. Though the distance of the car parking area with a lobby and ticket checking gate is not so far away. Faizan was worried about his best friend because several times he tried to be contacted again but there was no answer.

He decided to go to the lobby to find Benny. From a distance he saw Benny arguing with a woman in uniform. Looks like the station staff.

After approaching the two, Benny explained to Faizan the problem. Then Faizan politely and gently pleads with Lala to agree to a reprint of Benny's ticket that was accidentally lost.

At that time everything was still all paper or manual so there were no tickets or online checks as of now. Because smart phones alone did not flutter the universe at that time.

Aisha who was busy serving other buyers overheard the commotion of her colleagues with Benny and Faizan. Then Aisha asked her other colleagues to guard the counter first, she came out to see the situation.

This was the first meeting between Faizan and Aisha. Thanks to Faizan's persistence helps Benny get his ticket as well as Faizan's heartfelt plea to Aisha. Benny's ticket was reprinted. And Faizan's group left for Bandung on time.

Aisha manages to temper Lala's emotions on Benny. Actually Lala can reprint but because Benny who was fierce to him so Lala ride the apoplexy. Be like Tom and Jerry.

Faizan from the beginning looked at Aisha not winking at all. Even until his return from the city of Bandung to Jakarta, he stopped by the counter back who knew he could see Aisha.

But unfortunately, Aisha was off duty and love at first sight began to bloom at that time. But the love he had not spoken to his soul mate, he had lost track of Aisha.

The woman he loved moved to work. But Faizan doesn't know where Aisha works. Finally he can only surrender to the Creator and Benny told him that the soul mate will not run away.

If he is destined to be a match with Aisha, the hand of God will unite them. Nothing is impossible in this world if God wills.
