Arshad came home from work at about 9 p.m. He went into the room. Because this afternoon at the restaurant made Arshad not focus on working at all. But he could not go home sooner because there was work that could not be delayed. But when he entered, Arshad was astonished to see Aisyah who had fallen asleep. He looked at the clock and it was still 9, but Aisyah was already asleep. Not as usual.
Arshad approached and touched Aisha's forehead, fearing that Aisha was ill, but she had no fever. Or maybe because he was tired? Arshad also stroked Aisha's head which was still covered with hijab. Since marriage Arshad has never seen Aisha without a hijab. Maybe Aisyah's not ready.
"You're so tired, huh? Next time take care of your health, don't worry me!"Arshad kissed the top of Aisyah's head gently and moved to change clothes to the bathroom. A second after Arshad walked into the bathroom, Aisyah opened her eyes and stared at the closed bathroom door flatly. After that, he closed his eyes again.

At dawn, when Arshad awoke, he did not see Aisha again. Where is Aisha who usually wakes herself up for prayer? Arshad got up from his bed and went to the bathroom. After Arshad finished the morning prayer, Aisha remained invisible. Where did Aisyah go?
He came out of the room and went downstairs, and Aisha fell asleep with the Qur'an on her lap. Arshad smiled and sat down beside Aisyah while rubbing her cheek.
"I miss hearing your voice. From dawn to dawn now never heard."Arshad sighed and closed the Qur'an and placed it on the table. After that Arshad picked up Aisha and laid her in the room.
Arshad continued to look at the face of Aisyah who was still sleeping carefully until she finally fell asleep. When the clock struck at 6am, Aisyah woke up and was surprised to see Arshad sleeping so close to her. Aisha looked around.
"Room? How can I be in _"Aisha was silent and looked at Arshad. He realizes that it was probably Arshad who picked him up and took him to the room.
Aisyah sighed and then got out of bed. Aisyah is getting ready. When the clock shows at 7 am, Aisyah is finished and immediately left without looking at Arshad who is still asleep.
"Bi Well, I go to college first." said Aisyah and coldly.
"Eh, how early in the morning? What is breakfast for Arshad,mbak? Did aunt do it?"ask bi Nah.
"Whatever. Assalamu'alaikum." said Aisyah then left and left a big question mark for bi Nah. There's something strange about Aisyah, but she doesn't know what it is. It was possible that Aisha and Arshad were fighting again.
At 8 o'clock, Arshad went downstairs and sat in the dining room.
"Where are you, bi?"ask Arshad while glancing over here and there.
"It's gone, mrs."
"Again?"
Bi Nah nodded, "The breakfast this time I made is okay, mas?"
"Why not Aisha?"
"Mbak Aisyah looked hasty earlier, there might be some sudden business."
Arshad only nodded in understanding though the reason was a little inappropriate according to Arshad. There is something strange about Aisha. Usually want as busy as he is, he will certainly still take the time to pay attention to Arshad despite the slightest attention it. Come to think of it, did Arshad make a mistake?

Arshad's confusion carried over until the moment he was meeting. Arshad only daydreamed even though his eyes looked forward, precisely towards the person who was doing the presentation, but his mind remained out of line.
"Sir, so how?"ask one of them to Arshad, while Arshad is just silent daydreaming.
Everyone who was there looked at each other. Not much different from Rio who shook his head because of the surprise of seeing his friend.
"Every day, every day, you are afraid. Aisyah was already waiting in front."whispering Rio made Arshad immediately stand enthusiastically.
"Where's up ahead?"ask Arshad.
"That's the one in front of me calling you." Rio said making Arshad realize that he had been bullied.
With a rough sigh Arshad took his phone on the table, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm less focused. Can the meeting be rescheduled, Mr Rio?"
"Then I apologize, excuse me." said Arshad then went to his room which Rio followed from behind.
Arriving at Arshad's room, Rio was powerless to hold back his curiosity.
"Lo why else, anyway? he said Aisyah had gone home, so now why again? a fight?"rio and Arshad asked could only shudder the shoulder of an ignorant sign. Because he doesn't know.
"Continue?"
"Aisha kayak again dodged from the cave. He's not usually. His attention to the cave is not there."
Rio looked at Arshad in amusement, "Since when did you become alay gini? do not pay a little attention to daze gini. You healthy, bro?"
"Not that, yo. But Aisyah's attitude lately is really not as usual. The cave is always there with him, you foreigners will not understand. He's now, different."
"Maybe he was busy again. Or maybe he wants to finish college for only three years so that after that he can focus on the same lo. Could be, right?"
"What is it?"
"Positive thinking! Aisyah can't be like that if there's no reason."
Arshad. What Rio said is true. Aisha is always unexpected.
"When is the year, Ar?"
"8 August. Why emang?"
"A week away means."
Arshad nodded, "Yes. Why, uh?"
Rio flicked his finger, "Cave no idea why Aisyah's attitude has changed the same way you."
"Why?"
"Aisha wants a surprise. Like those people, sook cuek sok jutek even though they want to give you a surprise."
"Then anyway? not sure of the cave." said Arshad with a shy smile.
"I'm not sure, but you smile."sindir Rio.
"But the cave still hesitates."
"Doubt why else, anyway? just calm down! lo_'s wife at most"
Drrt!
Arshad and Rio were directly staring towards Arshad's vibrating phone. Arshad's eyes are round. Aisyah called.
"Not until I speak, Aisyah has called first." said Rio.
"Lo get out there! the cave needs privacy." Arshad's out.
"Basic bucin!" Rio chose to get out of there instead of being a mosquito repellent. Look at Arshad now! it looked like people were about to die tomorrow, now it looks like people are going to live a long time. It was fortunate that only one of his friends was like that, if many of him killed them all, Rio grumbled inwardly.
"Assalamualaikum, Aisha."
"Va'alaikumussalam,mas. I just want to say that tomorrow Anam's brother and Khadijah's family want to go back to Jakarta. The plan is for Khadijah's family to stay in our house. Okay, no?"
"Can, kok. Is there anything else you want to say?"asked Arshad expectantly.
"Nothing. I'll close first, yeah. Many tasks about it. Assalamu'alaikum."
"A_ Aisy_"Not until Arshad spoke, the phone connection has been cut off. Is that all I want to say? nothing else? Arshad put his phone on the table violently. Though he misses Aisyah very much now, but from yesterday he just talked to Aisyah. That was a minute. If Aisyah really wants to make a surprise, why should it be like this? It's so torturous.
