Is there a beautiful day for me? When's that? Is there really no more silence? or just a taste? I hope that you who are there waiting in longing, will give happiness in qalbu, build a household that flows in blessing, not just a week or a week, but until you meet again in Heaven with you.
(Aisha Sidqia Rahman)

Time goes by without pause, as water flows in search of an estuary. Several days passed without notice, bringing the sunrise radiating rays of warmth to all His creatures.
Aisyah walked into the courtyard area of the school when there was not a single person who had come besides her. He has been doing it for several days, more precisely since Zaid, the ex-husband continues to disturb his calm.
I don't know what happened to the man's household that brought him back to Aisyah. There was no longer any curiosity in the veiled woman's heart towards Zaid, for to him the man had died in his heart.
One by one the students and teachers are now coming to the school, no more silence, there is a noise from the children who play with each other.
"Assalamu 'alaikum." The sound of greetings from some teachers who entered the teacher's room, made Aisyah turn to the door while answering greetings.
Unintentionally, Aisyah's eyes met with the eyes of Mr. Ahmad who also said hello. However, the man now looked indifferent to Aisyah, no longer any greeting like before Aisyah rejected him.
"Sir, he said no more Ma'am will marry ya? Well congratulations, Ma'am," said one of the female teachers while greeting Aisyah's hand.
For a moment Aisyah was silent, as she remembered, her wedding had not been published at all, but why did anyone know?
Aisyah's eyes were now fixed on Mr. Ahmad who seemed to be telling stories with other teachers and occasionally he and the teacher stared at him.
"Did Ahmad tell them?" aisyah's mind while breathing out.
"Eh, i-iya, thank you well my prayers," Aisyah replied later with a smile behind her veil.
Shortly after, other teachers came to him and said the same thing to Aisha, some even asking about her time. Aisyah who felt cornered by their words and questions could only forcefully smile.
"God willing for the time will be announced as the day approaches H" replied Aisha soberly.
"Don't suddenly well announced, because we will prepare clothes and gifts for you," said one of the teachers, making Aisyah can only smile stiffly.
While at another table, Mr. Ahmad who witnessed Aisyah was flocked with questions by his colleague, made him smile with satisfaction, if the show did not become because of just an excuse to reject it, he said, then of course the woman will be very embarrassed, he thought.
Uncomfortable with her co-worker now talking about her marriage, Aisyah decides to leave the teacher's room. He chose to go to class early to see his students play, at least that way his slightly confused mind could be calmer.
"Ummi," said Khaira when she saw Aisyah entering her class. "Do you want to come in?" ask the girl.
"No, Honey. Ummi just wants to sit in class and watch you play" he replied as he sat in the teacher's chair in front of the class.
"Oh, kirain, if so Khaira wants to play again well, Ummi," the girl's permission then go back to playing with her friends.
Aisyah really enjoyed the spectacle this time, the children who played freely without any burden, the laughter that was so sincere greeted her hearing, making Aisyah's heart a little calm.

Elsewhere, Akmal was already in the company after dropping off Khaira to school. However, something made his heart unsettled, again he saw the same man was monitoring the school, no matter who he was and what he was looking for.
Still busy with his thoughts, the sound of knocking on the door instantly made him realize.
"Come," he said.
Enter a beautiful woman in slightly open clothes, yes she is Novi, the CEO secretary at the company.
If in the past when Zafran was the boss, he was wearing clothes that were slightly closed because of Zafran's orders, now the woman is back wearing clothes that are slightly open because her boss has changed, even if only temporarily.
The woman felt attracted to the boss's cousin sister, so while she had the chance, she would try to get the man interested in her.
Akmal slightly furrowed his brows when he saw Novi's drastically changed appearance. However, he quickly turned his face the other way.
"Sorry, Sir. Here are some files to sign," said the woman slightly bent her body to put the file on the table, more precisely so that her cleavage was slightly exposed. However, Akmal had absolutely no interest in looking at him.
"Well, thank you" Akmal said as he opened the file.
However, his activities come to a halt as he realizes that Novi is still standing in his place.
"Is there any more?" ask Akmal wonder.
"Nothing, sir," replied Novi.
"Well, then please come out" he asked, making Novi throw a lethargic breath before finally turning around and walking towards the exit.
"Wait!" Novi's footsteps stopped when he heard Akmal's voice. He smiled for a moment and turned towards Akmal.
"Yes, Sir?" ask Novi.
"Make sure tomorrow you don't wear that shirt, I want you to wear that covered outfit like when Zafran was here" the man said firmly without looking at Novi.
It managed to make Novi feel upset and then quickly out of the room.
"Basic, no brother no sister, two of them are the same, ish," he said monologetically when he was outside the room.
"Why Nov?" asked Fadil who had apparently been standing next to the door, making the beautiful woman surprised instead of playing.
"Geez, are you a ghost or what? Suddenly appeared like a jailangkung," his grunts with a face that was not friendly.
"Laah, even in fact, I was already standing here, you just don't see," said Fadil who did not accept the blame.
"Tau ah, males," said Novi then went from in front of Fadil to his desk.
While Fadil only spread his shoulders confused to see the behavior of God's most magical creature, then knocked on the door.
Tok tok tok tok
"Come in" said a voice from inside the room
"Excuse me, Sir. I want permission to go out for a moment, there is a sudden business," said Fadil a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" ask Akmal while signing the file in front of him.
"Anu, sir, my family is sick, and she needs the help of an organ donor, so I want to help find her" Fadil replied.
Akmal stopped his activity and looked towards Fadil.
"Are you looking for a kidney donor" asked Akmal quickly.
"Yes, sir," replied Fadil reflexively. However, his eyes instantly rounded when he realized he had leaked his secret mission. "Anu, sir, I mean, I mean ..."
"What is Zafran's order?" akmal asked back without waiting for Fadil to finish his explanation.
