...Happy Reading's...
...❤...
Ansel had just entered the house, with Bian running first. Just like Naura, bian also sulked. Because, do not want to go home and want to see Ayu first before going home.
His mind that had been chaotic since his debate with Ayu increasingly with whining from his son.
"Why are you?" elena asked who saw Bian coming by bending her face and now her husband looked even more awful.
Ansel dropped his body on the long sofa in the living room.
He leaned his back with his eyes tightly closed.
The look of his face looks very tired, plus messy hair, buttons so far have missed some.
It was all clear to me that her husband was not okay.
Elena walked to the kitchen to get some water to drink to make her husband feel calmer.
"Here, drink first" Mala thrust a glass of water in front of Ansel.
Ansel opened his eyes, looking at the smiling face of his wife, as if strengthening himself.
Uphold his body while reaching for a glass in the hands of the woman who had accompanied him for almost ten years, from the time he was dating, when he was studying abroad.
Ansel drained the water in one gulp. Hold tightness in the chest until his throat continues to feel dry.
"Eat already?" elena asked, sitting next to her husband.
Ansel shook his head.
"You want to tell me now, or you want to take a break?" elena asked again, tenderly, looking at her husband's disheveled face.
"I clean up first"
"I prepared the water first"
Elena moved towards the room, after getting a nod from Ansel.
An hour later they were in the room, Ansel told his wife everything.
Elena was surprised to hear all the talk from her husband.
She did find out that Ansel had a younger sister besides Melati, she also knew that her husband was always trying to find the younger sister these few years.
But she never thought that the sister who had been sought by her husband was Ayu.
Women who are close to them, even Bian has loved the woman very much, without knowing that between them related to blood relations.
"So the one you've been looking for all this time, Ayu?" ask Elena to make sure.
Ansel nodded his head with a sad look.
"Then what about your mother?" Elena looked at the husband's face.
Ansel shook his head weakly.
"Said Ayu, Mother is dead," weak Ansel.
Elena could see a puddle of water in her husband's eyes. His voice sounded sad and a little shaky. His face was full of regret.
"You have to be patient with Ayu, she must have been devastated by all these events"
"Give him time to come to terms with all this" Elena said
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid she won't believe me El" that anxious look was evident on her husband's handsome face.
"Let's explain it to him carefully. I'm sure, Ayu's a good person, for sure, she wants to hear all the explanations from you, Mas"
Elena rubbed her husband's back, the back that always looked solid now shaking withholding tears, Because, a very deep regret.
"Now it's better, Mas rest first, tomorrow you have practice right?"
Ansel threw himself down, trying to close his eyes with a chaotic feeling.
Today was the day he had been waiting for, the day he met his sister.
But all Ayu's attitude, as if to break all her hopes.
Hope to be together again with his little daughter, the angel of his heart that until now no one can replace Ayu's position in his heart.
So special Ayu figure for him, until now, Ansel can still remember every togetherness with his sister.
...❤...
This morning, Ayu was as usual back, there was no more look of sadness on her face, the trace of crying had disappeared, changed with a fresh face with makeup that was very suitable on her beautiful face.
All traces of sadness that he covered by make-Up that has been polished Ayu since after dawn.
Riska who just came out of the guest room, while Ayu was enjoying warm Chamomile tea in the garden in the house.
"Good morning Mba" said Riska approaching the woman who was relaxing on the permanent bench there.
"Greetings to Ris, we are Muslim" Ayu said, putting the cup she was holding next to her.
"Hehehe.. sorry Mba, forgot" grin Resti scratched his non-itchy head.
This morning Ayu spent talking about the boutique together with Riska.
He knew it was a sensitive matter for the woman before him.
As for Ayu, the woman was just trying to look good. In his heart, the wound was still very painful.
Vengeance...?
Ayu had no grudge against them, but, this was just a disappointment that had gone deep.
All that, makes Ayu unknowingly form a barrier for everyone from his past.
Hate...?
Ayu also does not keep hate, but, he is still an ordinary human, which certainly holds anger over the pain he feels.
What did Ayu do and feel for her father and sister?...
I don't know if he doesn't know himself, who he knows is just scared, afraid to get back disappointed.
Afraid of re-incorporating new wounds in his heart.
Afraid that he might lose control.
Weak...?
Let people call it weak. Because of this he was, he was just trying to be strong with the hope of happiness someday.
Depends all his life on the Almighty.
I don't know when this trial will end? Ayu also did not know.
Ayu just hopes, will get happiness for her, someday.
....
At seven in the morning, Ayu and Riska go to the boutique together. It took about fifteen minutes to cover the distance between Ayu's house and the boutique.
Arriving at the boutique Ayu was again surprised by the presence of three people who greeted him with a smile as bright as the sun this morning.
" Yin...!"
Ayu exhaled, then got out of the car.
Smiling softly as usual, though his eyes still radiated sadness.
"Naura, Bian?" crouching before the two little boys who instantly entered into his arms.
"Aunty yesterday where, Rara same Bian cariin but nothing?"
Naura asked in a position still in Ayu's warm embrace.
"Aunty's got business outside baby, Naura and Bian, why don't you go to school?"
Ayu stretched her arms, saw a funny face, two children who had colored her days these few months.
"They're craving Papa and Daddy because they didn't see you yesterday. So, I brought her here first before going to school" Elena explained.
Ayu stood up, looking at the pretty face of a woman who turned out to be her own sister-in-law.
"Mba"
"Eh. Don't call Mba, just call Brother yes" Elena cut Ayu's words.
Ayu swallowed the saliva with difficulty, her throat suddenly felt dry.
" Thank you.." Ayu hesitated to continue her words.
Elena looked at Ayu expectantly.
"K-sister"
The mother's smile from Bian expanded, when she heard the words coming out of Ayu's mouth tremble.
" Thank you..." Elena hugged her sister-in-law.
Ayu's body stiffened, her brain could not yet digest what was now happening to her.
Both of his hands squeezed the side of the robe he wore. Ayu's heart suddenly beat faster. There was a foreign taste spreading in the recesses of his heart. A warm feeling that he had not felt for a long time.
One tear fell back down her cheek. This hug feels very comfortable and sincere.
