The Aisyah Love Pier
Heartbroken

That night, stars filled the dark sky and revealed the beauty of the Owner of Beauty. Under that sky, a happy moment for some was unfolding.

But not for Akmal. Somehow his chest feels tight after knowing who his sister's future wife is. Though, the name of the woman alone she just knew that second as well.

What happened to his heart? Where is the fort of his heart that stood yesterday? The time when the fortress of his heart had been destroyed was not left by the veiled woman?

"Astaghfirullah, what's wrong with me? No no, this is not true," Akmal's inner self while rubbing his face roughly. The man was seen several times taking a breath and exhaling it slowly.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so nervous? Who wants a proposal here I am not you" whispered Zafran accompanied by a small laugh at the end of his sentence.

"What apaan, Bang. Kan who opened this application show me, of course I feel anxious uncertain." Akmal's answer this time made Zafran immediately nod his head understandably. Even though what Akmal said only contains 1% truth.

"Because everything has arrived, how do you just start right away," Kyai Rahman said.

"Well, bismilbornrahmanirrahiim, assalamu 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, '" said Akmal and answered by everyone who was there.

No exception Aisyah who immediately looked up when she heard Akmal's voice. And once again without them accidentally, both of their eye beads met.

"He ..." Inner Aisha who instantly felt her body go limp helpless.

"He was the guy who was in the school toilet yesterday. And what is this? again this voice reminded me of someone, very familiar to my ears," Aisyah's inner voice bowed again with her uneasiness. Even every opening word that Akmal spoke was no longer his concern, because right now only the sound that Aisyah's sense of hearing caught, not what the man said.

This time Zafran will speak to propose Aisyah, and at that time Aisyah began to realize what she had just done wrong. Many times the phrase istighfar uttered from his lips that were covered with a veil.

"I'm just a human being far from perfect, but I want to prove my seriousness in building a household that is owned by God" Zafran said after asking Kyai Rahman for prior permission.

Aisha, will you be the fulfillment of half my religion, the adornment of my world, the angel of the world to His heaven? And be a mother to Khaira and her sisters insha Allah?" continued.

Kyai Rahman turned his head and saw the anxiety of the princess who had been bowed since. In his hand that was already ice-cold hand then rubbed it slowly.

"Son, how? Abi believes in your choice, it is time for you to be happy, welcome your happiness son," said Kyai Rahman.

"Yes, son, maybe this is God's way of all your prayers and sorrows." Lina's mother clasped Aisyah's hand to help convince her daughter.

Aisyah took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before beginning to answer Zafran's question.

"Before I apologized for being slow to give an answer to Mr. Zafran, I was just afraid to take a rash decision. I also apologize for not being able to answer Mr. Zafran's question in poetic language." Aisyah paused for a moment her words to neutralize her nervousness.

"If indeed Mr. Zafran is ready to accept my shortcomings, then with the words of Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, I accept Mr. Zafran's proposal," Aisyah replied later.

Everyone in the room expressed gratitude with a smile of happiness, not least Akmal, even though the smile felt so heavy, why? He is also confused about his feelings.

After the application is over, they continue with dinner together first while telling a warm story to add to the familiarity of the two families who will soon be united.

Seeing the interaction between Aisyah and Khaira being so warm, everyone who was at the dining table this time smiled happily.

"The blessing of mother and child is different, even though you are not married but Khaira is sticky with Aisyah," said Ibu Sofi then turned to look at Zafran who was beside her. "You're lucky to have a future wife like Aisyah" he continued speaking to Zafran, making the man a little misbehaved.

"Yes dong jeng, if it's a matter of motherly attitude, I also admit it," said Bude Luna.

Everyone now threw a proud smile at Aisyah who was still busy feeding Khaira, even she chose to postpone her meal first so that the little girl could eat comfortably.

After dinner, the conversation continued. This time it's about the wedding of Zafran and Aisyah. And based on the agreement, their marriage will be held in 2 months.

While Akmal, he had gone home first for reasons of his body that is less fit. However, the man did not go straight home, but he went to a park not far from Kyai Rahman's house.

For a long time he was pensive on the little garden bench. Many times he plumbed into his own heart to find out what he was currently feeling.

It seemed that it was not his body that was less fit, but his heart. Even he himself could not explain how sick he felt at this moment. If indeed his feelings for Aisyah were love, then he should be heartened to accept the fate that this time broke his heart even before he struggled. Love that withered before springing, maybe that's what fits with Akmal at this time.

The next day, Zafran and Akmal leave for the office after dropping off Khaira at school. They set foot together into the big building.

Like a model that goes hand in hand on the catwalk, all the attention is now on the two men who look so charismatic. Moreover, the current appearance of Akmal wearing a full suit like Zafran, made his good looks increase many times over.

And here they are now, in Zafran's fairly large workspace. Zafran himself had shown Akmal a workspace earlier, but he asked Akmal to go to his room for a moment because he had something to talk about.

"So, what do you want to talk about, Bang?" akmal asked after landing his butt on the soft sofa in the room.

Without speaking, Zafran picked up a paper in his desk drawer and gave it to Akmal.

Akmal who received the paper frowned. "What is this, Bang?"

"Read" said Zafran.

Akmal started reading a paper that he knew was the result of a medical examination. "Who is sa..." Akmal's question came to a halt as he captured the results of the doctor's diagnosis on the paper.

His eyes immediately rounded in shock. "Bang, please tell me that the results of this examination are not yours," said Akmal who began to show concern from the look in his eyes.

"That's my check, Mal. I've been experiencing symptoms for the last few months and it was only a few weeks ago that I did an examination and that's the result" Zafran said, smiling bitterly.

"So right, you have kidney failure? Is this why you told me to come to work here?" tanya Akmal started mer3mas the white paper, and was only answered with a nod by Zafran.
