Akmal stopped the taxi when he arrived at the airport and immediately got out after paying for the taxi. He galloped to the front of the digital airport announcement board to see the scheduled departure of the aircraft this morning.
Akmal wants to make sure in advance whether the aircraft that will be used Aisyah back to Indonesia has departed or not.
"Fourty more minutes," he murmured after reading the announcement.
Not wanting to waste time, Akmal immediately contacted Aisyah's number, many times he contacted her, but many times he was not picked up.
"Gosh, why didn't he pick it up?" Akmal now looks so frustrated and desperate. In her despair, Aisyah's words that night flashed back through her mind.
Allow me to do my duty sincerely, I want to be devoted to you even though you may not be able to accept me in this marriage.
The words again revolved in his memory like a broken cassette. Making himself feel even more guilty, even he felt that he had become a very bad husband to Aisyah.

While on the other hand, Ainun was sitting in a waiting chair while holding Aisyah's bag that was going to the toilet. Many times he felt his best friend's phone vibrate because someone called, but he did not dare to lift when he saw the name on his screen.
"Hah, relieved as well, Ainun's shukron has been guarding my bag," Aisyah said as she landed her body on the chair right next to her best friend.
"Yes, your husband called, but I didn't dare to pick him up. Try to check" Ainun said.
Aisyah frowned when she heard Ainun's words. "Why did he call me again? Isn't she not able to accept this marriage?" his inner self while looking at his cell phone that featured so many missed calls and a message.
Akmals
Assalamu 'alaikum, Ayesha. Forgive me for my attitude that hurt you, I realize how evil I am. But do you know? My heart is also so sick and tormented when I do that to you.
Do you want to give me a chance to correct my mistake? I'm a bad husband, but I'm not shy about asking you for a chance.
I won't force you. But if you want to give me a chance, come out, I'm waiting for you in front of this airport. But if you don't want to give me a chance, you don't need to go out, I'll take it with sincerity.
Aisyah let out a lethargic breath reading the message, she rubbed her watery eyes back in memory of how Akmal's words were so simple but capable of hurting her.
⚓⚓⚓
It had been 40 minutes since Akmal sent Aisyah a message. Even the sound of the plane taking off had just been heard clearly.
"Maybe he's gone" he said languidly and walked away from the place.
"Armal!" such a familiar voice in his ears instantly made the man's footsteps come to a halt.
He slowly looked back where a veiled woman was currently standing holding his small suitcase. A fragrant smile immediately rose on the man's face, he immediately rubbed his face when he realized a tear had just escaped to his cheek.
"Dear of it!" lirih Akmal as he stepped quickly towards Aisyah who was still glued to her place.
A sudden hug from Akmal managed to make the woman was shocked amazing, even her eyes are now patterned, and do not ask the condition of her heart that immediately wanted to jump out of place.
"Thank you," she said without letting go of the hug. Somehow he felt so comfortable clutching the body of a woman who since a week ago he always ignored.
Aisyah took off her husband's embrace and looked up at the man. "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" tanyanya to the point.
Akmal scratched his nape that was not itchy, he was about to open his mouth to answer Aisyah's question, but he immediately paused. The man now grabbed Aisyah's right hand and grasped it gently.
"We'll go back, yeah, I'll answer." Akmal pulled Aisyah with his left hand and took over Aisyah's suitcase in her right hand. They also took a taxi from the airport.
Along the way, Akmal never took his hand off Aisyah, making the woman look at her in surprise. Whether what made the man suddenly change his mind, which clearly his heart was currently happy, he hoped that the man beside him could really accept it, unlike last night, like a PMS woman in moodswing.
Now they arrive at the hotel with their faithful hands clasping each other. Aisyah and Akmal walked into the hallway towards the room they had occupied this morning.
"You wait here, there's something I want to give you" said Akmal, sitting Aisyah in bed and rushing to get something in his bag.
Aisyah just silently watched what the man did, she was so curious about what her husband would give her. A few moments later, Akmal returned with a small box with black buludru.
Akmal positioned himself sitting facing Aisyah, not forgetting he directed Aisyah to come face to him. Slowly he opened the box, saw a pair of white gold-based rings that looked so elegant with small diamond grains that adorned the top surface.
The man grabbed Aisyah's right hand and placed the ring on her ring finger.
"I bought it in Indonesia yesterday before returning here, it turns out my choice is very fitting on your finger," he said smiling and then handed the box that still contains one more ring to Aisyah.
Aisyah received the box with her face bowed deeply while observing the rings in her hands. There was a haru taste that he could not describe when he saw a ring back coiled on his ring finger.
"Now, can you put that ring on my finger?" asked Akmal in a soft voice.
Without answering, Aisyah took the ring from the box and put it on Akmal's ring finger, without realizing a single tear hit the man's hand, making him look directly at Aisyah who was still looking down.
Akmal grabbed Aisyah's chin and raised her face slowly, now it was clear that the beautiful face of the woman even though her eyes were slightly reddened and wet with tears, even her veil was a little wet from it.
"I'm sorry for making you sad, I actually have a childish reason behind it" Akmal said as he rubbed Aisyah's tears so gently.
"What's that?" asked Aisyah in a soft voice.
"Actually I'm afraid you'll return to Bang Zafran when he recovers" Akmal's great-grandson bowed in embarrassment.
There was a small sound of laughter coming out from Aisyah's mouth. "Indeed childish," he said, then returned with a small laugh.
Akmal now stared in disbelief at his wife, apparently the woman who was crying now even laughed at him.
"You got me?" akmal asked with a sharp look.
Aisyah's laughter stopped immediately upon noticing Akmal's razor-sharp gaze. He swallowed his saliva violently, his guts shriveled, he was worried that Akmal would return cold to him after this
