Just as Zafran's car was driving away from school, a little girl came from behind Aisyah.
"Ummi."
Aisyah turned her head and her eyes instantly faded when she found Khaira behind her.
"Khaira's? Why are you here, baby?" he said while gently pulling Khaira's hand to get into the class but the girl kept trying to keep quiet.
"Why baby?"
"Ummi, be Mama Khaira."
Aisyah was silent for a moment hearing the request of the little girl before her. Did he hear wrong? Why did Khaira suddenly ask him to be her mother?
"Khaira, let's go to class, soon the learning hours begin," Aisyah asked to try to divert the conversation but the girl still refused.
"Khaira will not leave before Ummi answers yes" Khaira threatened.
Aisyah once again fell silent, she really felt confused, as well as sorry for the little girl.
Did Khaira follow him and hear all his talk with Zafran earlier? I thought Aisyah at this moment.
"Okay dear God willing, now you join Ummi to class well," asked Aisyah gently because she did not want to prolong the problem.
"Huh? Really?" Khaira tried to make sure and answered a nod by Aisyah complete with her smile.
"Horeee!! Finally Khaira has Mama, no one else will demean Khaira," he said girang.
Khaira's words were apparently able to make Aisyah's heart as if in crumb, she was really concerned about the situation of the girl. But is the answer correct? Does he really have to accept Zafran's proposal?
I don't know, that woman is really confused right now.

Elsewhere, a handsome man in a casual style entered an office building. He walked upright with an almost perfect posture.
Although this is not the first time he came to the place, but somehow what magnet attached to the man until all the female employees who saw it seemed always amazed. In fact, they did not stop praising the good looks of the cousin of the boss.
Yes, that man is Akmal El-Mumtaz. Since last night, he has been making plans for healing and quality time alone. But the plan had to be postponed because he got a sudden call from Zafran.
Tok tok tok tok
"Lake in." Zafran's baritone voice rang out from within the room.
"Assalamu 'alaikum, '" said Akmal as he entered and sat on the sofa before the owner of the room invited him.
"At last you came too" said Zafran, rising from his great chair and sitting on the sofa.
"What's calling me here, Bang?" ask Akmal.
"Mal, would you like to work to help me here? Instead of you working in the middle of the sea there, the threat of death can come at any time?" tawar Zafran's.
Akmal momentarily fell silent at Zafran's offer.
"Well, if for that reason, wherever I work, the threat of death remains everywhere, God has made sure of it and no one can avoid it" Akmal said.
"Yes, but at least you don't have to be away from family when working, no, it's the hell working here also stay away from your mother and sister, too, but you can invite them to stay here with you" Zafran said.
"Why did you suddenly ask me to work here?" ask Akmal.
"Let's know, I just feel the need to find someone I trust to continue my business if something happens to me" Zafran replied with a straight forward look as if he was glaring at something.
"Ah, this brother is talking what the hell, haphazardly," ketus Akmal who does not like to hear the words of Zafran.
"Hahahaha, his name is also a businessman, Mal, must be able to prepare everything to prevent unwanted things later on" Zafran replied while laughing loosely. He felt funny looking at Akmal's expression that looked very serious at this moment.
"But that's not the same time you say it, make a heart gymnastics," Akmal said with a serious face.
"So how's my offer, are you interested?" Zafran asked back to the main topic.
"Yes, think first and decide immediately. The sooner the better so that I can train you, you are smart, Mal, just learn a little you will definitely understand," said Zafran while patting Akmal's shoulder gently.
"Yes Bang" replied Akmal.
"Oh yeah, I'll be picking up Khaira soon, do you want to come? All of us can have lunch together," Zafran asked as he walked back to his desk to finish some of his work this afternoon.
"Come, Bang, it just so happens that my plan is already kosyong, and I want to see Khaira school, but there is a teacher I can marry" said Akmal who was of course just joking.
"You don't try to admire the same woman as me well, watch out for you!" threaten Zafran.
"Wow, wait a minute, wait a minute, are you currently looking for a mama for Khaira? and it's at Khaira's school?" akmal's investigation is suspicious.
"You have not much to ask, just pray that my proposal is accepted, if it has been accepted it means that everything you asked earlier is true," answer Zafran who indirectly has justified all allegations Akmal.
"It's great for you, Bang, to teach me to open my heart, honestly I want to get married, only I'm still afraid to open my heart" Akmal said.
"Everything is, I will arrange your meeting with some girls of my acquaintance, maybe one of them can be a healer of your wound" Zafran said as he raised his eyebrows.
"It's up to you, but don't force me to do it if I'm uncomfortable" Akmal anticipated.
"Sippp, okay now we're off to Khaira's school." Akmal immediately went up and took his coat attached to the back of his great chair.
⚓⚓⚓
The children began to scatter one by one out of the classroom after reciting a prayer together and saying goodbye to their teacher.
"Ummi, Temenin Khaira nungguin Papa yah," pinta Khaira with sparkling eyes, made the veiled woman unable to resist. They walked out of class together.
Meanwhile, Zafran and Akmal have now arrived in front of the school gate. However, Khaira has not been seen waiting outside as usual.
"Well, does the school have a toilet? I'm stuck" said Akmal, who had crossed his legs to hold onto something as if the longer he wanted to get out from under there.
"Well, just go inside, if you are confused ask the teacher," replied Zafran.
"Oh okay." Akmal immediately jumped down from the car and immediately walked quickly following the direction of one of the teachers there.
Shortly after Akmal left, Khaira and Aisyah came to Zafran, who was waiting outside the car.
"Papa," call Khaira so eagerly embracing Zafran.
"Where is school today? Is the memory even more?" asked Zafran while bending his knees to be in line with Khaira's height, while Aisyah who had been silent since then felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"Because you're here, excuse me first" said Aisyah.
"Wait," said Zafran held back Aisyah's steps, "thank you for accompanying Khaira," he continued.
"Yes, sir," Ayesha replied, waving her hand to Khaira, then turned around and went back to the school.
Since then he felt like urinating but he had to hold it for several reasons.
The veiled woman continued to walk into the female toilet area, because the toilet was quiet, Aisyah decided to open her veil because she intended to take ablution after urinating later.
But when the sound of water in one of the toilet cubicles, Aisyah realized that it was not only her who was in the toilet area.
He was just about to put up his veil but it seemed like he was late because the toilet door was now open and Aisyah was staring with perfectly rounded eyes when she saw a man coming out of the toilet cubicle.
Just like what Aisyah did, the man also silently looked at Aisyah's face without a veil.
In the next second, Aisyah who started to realize from her shock quickly immediately covered her face with the veil already in her hands, while shouting.
Aisyah's shout succeeded in making the man realize, "sorry Ma'am, it looks like I went wrong in the toilet" said the man and immediately ran out.
"Astaghfirullah, did I get the toilet wrong?" he murmured when he was outside and turned to see a picture of the symbol next to the toilet door.
"Gosh, I really went in wrong," said the man as he patted his forehead.
