Ardian went home to the hospital, there was still Mariam's ustadzah, Nur also Lita who accompanied Maura, while the others had returned to the pesantren.
"Ardian hasn't come home yet, Ustadzah?" ask Maura slowly.
"Not yet, maybe the business on campus is not finished.." replied the gentle Mariam's ustadzah, he just learned of the incident by Mr. Kyai, and still keep Maura until Ardian's emotions stabilized.
"Ustadzah, can you leave me alone first? I also want to call my family in New York, relax.. I won't tell them about this incident, anyways this is all pure fault and my own stupidity." said Maura, trying to stay strong.
"Yes, but don't push yourself if you're not strong, Maura... Remember, parents can feel what their child feels, even though they are far away. So be careful, because they have a strong inner bond to their children." said Ustazah Mariam.
"Yes, Ustadzah.. I will remember that," Maura said with a faint smile.
Then Mariam and the others came out, shocked to see Ardian out there. Then Mariam's ustadzah tried to understand her current state, she sat down next to Ardian and began to tell a story.
"You know, being betrayed and being lied to is painful. But you also have to know the reason behind the lie, even though the reason is absurd but you have to try to understand him.
Moreover, he had also regretted his actions, and would really repent of not doing that anymore, then give him a chance to change, this relationship of yours is different from that of a husband and wife like any other, you are 'special', Ardian..
Ustazah hope you can understand everything, that there will be so many tests and trials that you have to go through later together, this is not how much.. There will be many other threats and dangers waiting for you.
Once your mission is complete and it's all over, do you think it'll be over for you too? No, there will be so many tasks later. This duty as a two-dimensional security guard, a duty as a good citizen, a duty as a parent for your children later and others as well..
Now, lower your ego.. Note him, he needs your sincere attention, do not talk about the mission continues, sometimes women also need other attention, he also wants you to choose him to be a wife not because it is just a task and mission, but also, but he really wants to have it, because he hopes you marry him out of love and really love with sincerity, Ardian." said Ustazah explained everything.
"What feelings have I not felt all this time, Ustazah? Did he think that I was just playing with his feelings? Didn't enough of my attention go to him, did these moments together mean nothing to him? Why does he still doubt my feelings for him, Ustadzah?" ask Ardian full of worries.
"Get him, talk later.. Speak from heart to heart, do not be emotional and control yourself, do not be provoked to argue with him.." replied the ustadzah Mariam again.
"All right, I'll see him later.. I want to pray zhuhur azhar first," said Ardian again.
"Yes, we want to go home too. It's late in the afternoon, can you take care of her alone tonight? But if there is anything just call us, say our greetings to him, he again wants to be alone first he said.." said Ustadzah Mariam again, accompanied by another nod.
Ardian also nodded and thanked them all, then he went to the hospital musholla to perform his ashar prayer.
Meanwhile, Maura is contacting bi Marni via an international network. He told me everything that happened, including the requirement to destroy the magic's main hick, the sacred tree of Gaharu. He also did not cover up his feelings for Ardian, including his disappointment as well.
"Ardian is a 'special' child, since he has had that ability, Maura.. From birth, maybe.. From a very early age he was abandoned by his parents, orphaned from an early age, had no friends from childhood, always isolated from people, living in transit for his own safety.
He grew up and grew up in New York, America. He's so much past this all alone, I can only watch him from afar, he's tired of Maura fighting alone. Since your presence made her mood change, it is true that she did not like you at first, because since childhood also aunt often told about you.
Little Ardian, probably jealous, felt that my attention was greater to you than he was, let alone that I was always with you, not him. Plus, the story of the past of the commander of Arialoka with Dewi Srikandi, making him feel uncomfortable. He thought he had to restore the situation, such as realizing the desire of the commander of Arialoka to be reunited with Goddess Srikandi.
But, Maura.. Now that things have changed, Ardian is not like that anymore. He is sincere with you, just like you.. He was also tired and fed up with all this, he wanted to put an end to it all, so his thoughts at this time were how to get all these missions completed, that was all.
"Good, Bi.. I will always remember and pray that we are here well" Maura said.
"Of course, honey.. Be careful there, remember.. Ridho's husband is a ridho of Allah as well," advised bi Marni before turning off her phone.
Not long after, Ardian entered Maura's room. The awkward and awkward feeling between the two was still felt, both Maura and Ardian were both confused to start their conversation.
"Em, have you prayed?" finally Maura started a conversation between the two.
"Em, already.. How are you, yourself, lightened?" ask Ardian.
"He'em.. Already, you.. Already eaten? Mariam's ustadzah brought a lot of food, eat it." replied Maura while giving her a little attention.
"Had, I've eaten." said Ardian, his heart warmed when he heard a little attention from Maura.
"Because he was sick, he could only say that. If it is not possible he will prepare all this food for you, Ardian.." said Aurora somehow since when he was there.
"I can hear you too, Aurora." said Maura a little annoyed and embarrassed.
"Haha, I'm sorry, my goddess... My arrival wants to make sure of your current situation, as well as take care of you for the attack later tonight," Aurora said politely and respectfully.
Ardian so recalled with the sky commander's words earlier this afternoon, he also had to keep watch tonight beside Maura. He did not want to make any more mistakes and omissions.
"attacks? What attack?" maura asked not understanding.
"As a result of the incident last night, the sacred tree with its allies wrath. They will attack two dimensions at once. The dimension of man and the dimension of the supernatural kingdom, the shadow kingdom." said Aurora, she had to explain it all to Maura.
"What's? Is it because of my carelessness? Am I the cause of all that?" maura asked worriedly and felt guilty as well.
"Not really, don't burden yourself with such thoughts. They had originally intended to start this war, and last night was just an excuse for them to start it all." replied Aurora remained calm and wise.
"After all, I'm still wrong." murmured Maura felt really bo.doh with his behavior as well, she regretted his actions.
"It's okay, after all you're just human. Wrong and right are common, don't think too much. All right, I'll stand guard with the others, you rest." Aurora said again after that just disappeared.
Ardian was still sitting motionless from his place, this time he would not let Maura go anymore, at least he was not alone at times like this.
