The Aisyah Love Pier
The Strange Taste

Inside a car, a man seemed frustrated himself. The tie that was installed neatly is now irregular saggy. Hair that was so neatly arranged, now looks disheveled.

"No, I don't want to fall in love anymore for now, I'm determined, and I should be able to. I don't know how that woman is, and while everything is still gray, I don't want to open my heart, I don't want to fall in the same hole" the male monologue who is none other than Akmal.

After an accidental meeting with a veiled woman, Akmal decided to wait in the car, he was really uncomfortable in the crowd.

On the other hand, Aisyah, who was about to collide with a man, is now trying to regulate her heartbeat near the toilet.

It felt strange, even the face of the man he did not know but a sense of nervousness even approached him when he heard his voice.

Amidst her nervousness, Aisyah was startled by the unexpected arrival of someone.

"Aisha, you're Ayesha, right?" ask a middle-aged woman who just came out of the toilet.

Aisyah momentarily looked at the face of the middle-aged woman before her while remembering who the woman was.

"Sophy's mother?" said it.

"You're Ayesha, right?"

"Yes ma'am, my God, I never thought I'd see you here again" he said, then immediately kissed the back of the woman's hand.

"How are you, son? Are you a bridesmaid here? Your clothes are the same as theirs" asked Sofi's mother as she pointed to another bridesmaid.

"Yes Ma'am, it just so happens that this is my cousin's wedding" Aisyah replied so kindly. "Oh yeah how's Mom doing now?" continues asking.

"Alhamdulillah, it's good, son," replied Sofi's mother. "If the one who married your cousin, then you and Ibu Luna?" he continued hanging his words.

"Yes Ma'am, Bude Luna is my mother's sister" replied Aisyah.

"God willing, the world is indeed narrow well," said Mother Sofi with sparkling eyes.

"Hehe yes, Ma'am," Aisyah replied with a soft laugh.

For a long time they talked, until when one of the families called Aisyah, the woman with a heavy heart asked for permission to go and leave Mother Sofi.

"God willing, very polite you are Ayesha, hopefully you can be my daughter-in-law later," the monologue Mother Sofi then immediately left because she had greeted all her friends and the owner of the show.

Sofi's mother had contacted Akmal, thinking he was still inside the building where the event took place. The middle-aged woman looked confused because she had dialed Akmal's mobile number several times, but never lifted.

"Oh my God, where is this kid? Did he find his heart in there until he forgot to go home?" sofi's mother monologue while walking towards her car.

When the middle-aged woman opened the car door, she was immediately shocked by the existence of Akmal who was now sleeping soundly with the condition of clothes and hair are very messy.

"Astaghfirullah Akmaaal," cried Mother Sofi who of course made a man who was cool with his dreams immediately woke up.

"Ready Captain" Akmal said with the hand he held up to his head as if he were being respectful.

Sofi's mother who saw him now could only hold back her laughter, but at first she wanted to nag the man.

"Akmal, aunty thinks you're still in there acquaintance with a beautiful girl," said Sofi's mother.

"Oh auntie, geez make me shocked," his grunts softly, "I'm not interested aunt, mending sleep here, comfortable," he continued relaxed, making Ibu Sofi can only shake his head.

"Well, we go home now" Sofi's mother said.

"Ready to the Queen" said Akmal, and again made the middle-aged woman shake her head slowly with a smile.

Elsewhere, after his meeting ended, Zafran is now back at Khaira school to pick up his only child.

The man stopped his car right in front of the school gate and decided to get out of the car and look around the corner, hoping that this time he could see a figure that had secretly stirred up curiosity in his heart.

"Papaaaa," called out to Khaira, making Zafran immediately turn towards the source of the voice.

The little girl ran towards Zafran and immediately hugged his father.

"Well, what did your daughter learn?" ask Zafran softly.

"Learn a lot Pa, but Khaira is not enthusiastic," he said lethargic.

"Well, why not the spirit, honey?" asked Zafran confused.

"Because Ummi didn't come, Papa." Khaira was shaking her lips.

"Oh so he didn't come, it's fast he's invisible," Zafran said.

"What is diem?" Khaira increasingly sing her lips because she felt hurt by her father.

"I'm sorry, honey, why didn't Ummi come?"ask Zafran again.

"Say again there is a family event," replied Khaira, making Zafran nod in understanding.

"It's okay, tomorrow is also coming" Zafran said. "Now let's go home" he continued, holding Khaira and putting her in the car.

The car finally drove away from the school in the middle of a hotter day.

At night, all the families were gathered at Bude Luna's house. Likewise with Aisyah and Ibu Lina who chose to spend the night at her house for a family gathering tonight, while Kiai Rahman had already gone home because he had to fill the study at the boarding school.

At the moment when everyone was busy telling stories, suddenly Bude Luna called Aisyah to speak with her four eyes. Aisyah also walked with her Budenya until she reached the back porch of the house.

"Aisyah, Bude has heard the story from Ummi you, Bude apologized for forcing you to get acquainted with Reza. Basic boy, nothing already wants to double. If only Bude had been there at that time, you know, it's not jeweled the child's ear," growled Bude Luna while moving her hand as if she was pulling an ear.

Aisyah smiled at her Budenya's behavior. Actually, Bude is kind and considerate. It's just that he's used to self-care that requires his children to be disciplined and follow his rules.

He loved Aisyah very much, therefore he always tried to demand Aisyah to get married quickly so that she could be happy. However, apparently the way he used often made Aisyah feel cornered.

"Yes, Bude, it's okay," replied Aisyah smiling understandably.

"Oh yes, Aisyah, this time Bude wants to introduce you to someone, the son of Bude's friend. Bude doesn't demand that you be with him, but at least you see and know him, he's a good person, and he certainly won't demand that you have children soon" said Bude Luna.

Aisyah let out a lethargic breath because again the middle-aged woman wanted to introduce her to someone.

"Just as Bude, then," he replied resignedly, after hearing Bude Luna's words, he was sure that he could not refuse, at least only to the stage of introduction.

"Alright, then, tomorrow accompany Bude to a restaurant, there we will meet with Bude's friend and also his son," said Bude Luna later.
