The Aisyah Love Pier
Horsepower
"You why Akmal?" mother Lina asked from downstairs when she saw Akmal just standing in front of the door of Aisyah's room.
"Eh, Ummi. Where's the guest room?" akmal asked as he scratched his non-itchy head and approached his mother-in-law on the first floor.
"Why look for a guest room? Aisha's room is there, son." The middle-aged woman seemed to furrow her brows.
"Awl, Ummi. Khaira did not know that Aisha was married to Akmal, so she told Akmal to sleep in the guest room, she said not a mahram," the man replied in a soft voice.
"Kok hasn't been told yet? Khaira must understand, God willing," said Mother Lina.
"Let Aisyah alone explain it later Ummi, maybe Aisyah still needs time, all this time will Khaira wish Aisha married to Bang Zafran," Akmal replied while bowed.
Lina's mother took a breath and rubbed Akmal's arm slowly. "The name is also a match, son. Whatever the circumstances, live your household well well well well, ummi believes you are the right husband for Aisyah, and regarding Khaira, one day she will definitely understand," advised Ms. Lina.
"Thank you, Ummi has entrusted Akmal to look after Aisyah, Akmal will try his best as a husband." Akmal smiled at his father-in-law.
"Come here, ummi will take you to the guest room." Lina's mother walked first and was followed by Akmal in the back.
The guest room was on the first floor, a bit away from Aisyah's room, but how else, she had to be patient for now, at least after Aisyah managed to explain everything to her nephew.
"Thank you, Ummi" Akmal said after he arrived in front of the guest room.
The man entered after Lina's mother left him. He immediately laid his body that felt so tired and sleepy in a medium-sized mattress in the room. He could not sleep and had to travel far again this afternoon. Sure enough, in just a few minutes, the man instantly entered into the world of his dreams.
Not felt 2 hours had passed, the ashar adhan began to roar in the pesantren environment, a gentle pat on Akmal's cheek managed to make him open his eyes slowly. He faintly saw such a beautiful woman sitting beside him.
"Dad?" his mind as his gaze began to become clearer.
The woman did not wear her veil and only wore a simple veil to cover her head, even so her beauty never diminished, even looking more radiant at all times.
"Mass? Wake up, it's ashar, mas haven't prayed ashar right?" Aisyah was getting closer to resuscitate her husband who now looks like he is daydreaming.
"Mass?" call Aisyah again because the man still hasn't responded.
Unexpectedly, Akmal immediately pulled Aisyah's hand until the woman was lying next to him, he immediately grabbed the tiny body of the wife.
"Let it be like this first" Akmal said as he shook off Aisyah's hand.
"But, Mas, someone will see, the door of the room I did not close the problem," said Aisyah speaking in front of the chest of the field of the husband.
"God willing, no one sees" said Akmal.
However, just as he finished saying that, suddenly there was the sound of Khaira's bell looking for Aisyah.
"Niliii." The little girl's voice was getting closer, making Aisyah reflex push Akmal with maximum strength to make the man fall to the floor adjacent to the wall and quickly Aisyah got up and stood tidying up her clothes and veil.
"immis? Hah it turns out Ummi is here." Khaira entered the room and searched the entire corner of the room looking for someone.
"Om Akmal where, Ummi? Didn't Om sleep here?" ask Khaira who did not find the figure of the man.
Aisyah glanced towards the end of the bed where Akmal had fallen, there was no movement there.
"Let's find Om outside, you come out first well, if you meet, please let her know if she has to pray ashar," Pinta Aisyah.
"Okay, Ummi." In spirit, Khaira immediately ran out of the room to look for Akmal, the man who was actually in the room but was invisible.
After making sure Khaira left, Aisyah immediately circled the bed to see the condition of her husband. And right, the man was curled up on the floor with a pouting expression.
"Astaghfirullah, sorry, Mas. It was a reflex, I didn't mean it." Aisyah quickly helped Akmal get up and put him in bed.
"I'm sorry, Mas" he repeated again because he did not get a response from Akmal.
"You are well, small but your strength is like horsepower, the husband himself was pushed, where it fell again," he said while grunting annoyed.
"Aren't you telling Khaira yet if we're married?" tanya Akmal stared at Aisyah with almost cluttered eyebrows.
"I'm still looking for the right time, be patient." It was only that word that Aisyah could say to the man.
Aisyah herself was still afraid to reveal the truth to a child as small as Khaira, she was afraid that the girl was disappointed and no longer wanted to approach her. He only hoped that Akmal would wait for him for a few more moments.

The next day Akmal was on standby at his desk. After driving Aisyah and Khaira to school, Akmal immediately rushed to the company to finish some of the work that had piled up on his desk.
Tok tok tok tok
"Lake in!" akmal Decree.
Novi the secretary now comes to Akmal at his desk.
"Excuse me, Sir. You just got an invitation to lunch from Mr. Andreas this afternoon at restaurant A" said Novi.
Akmal frowned. "Sir Andreas? In what order? Didn't the meeting yesterday all the deals have been fixed?"
"Really, Sir. But this time the invitation is only to familiarize each other with each other considering that you first met with Mr. Andreas yesterday," explained Novi, making Akmal nodded his head in understanding.
"Do you want me to be with you?" Novi is now trying to offer himself to be able to build closeness with his boss.
"No need, please call Fadil to my room now" the man said.
"Well, sir," the woman immediately came out feeling arrogant because again her attempt to approach Akmal failed.
Shortly after, Fadil entered his room.
"Mother called me?"
"My company this afternoon ate out with Mr. Andreas" Akmal said.
"Good, sir."
⚓⚓⚓
Akmal and Fadil enter a fancy restaurant where they have lunch with Mr. Andreas. The waiter at the restaurant directly directed the two men to enter in one of the VIP rooms separate from the regular dining room.
Tok tok tok tok
Akmal and Fadil entered the room, where Mr. Andreas and his secretary, none other than Via, were waiting for them inside.
"Good day, Mr. Akmal, glad to see you again" said Mr. Andreas as he extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"Good day, sir, glad to see you too, Mr. Andreas." Akmal welcomed the middle-aged man's helping hand before him no less kindly.
Light talk began to occur, while waiting for their order food to come.
"I did not expect that someone who used to work in the middle of the sea to make a living could enter the business world like this, Mr. Akmal, but I admit, I do, your ability to speak and make decisions deserves a thumbs up." Akmal frowned looking at Mr. Andreas, he was guessing about where the middle-aged man was talking this time.
"What does Father mean?
"Sorry Mr. Akmal, I hope you are not offended. Does Mr. Zafran have a relative relationship with you? But I think Mr. Zafran is not the type of person who recruits someone just because of kinship, he usually sees work experience and educational background first, but this time it seems like Mr. Zafran's decision changed. How can a person who used to work only as a fisherman be directly appointed as CEO? Well although it may be only temporary," said Mr. Andreas sounds a little sarcastic.
"Fisherman?" lirih Akmal repeated the job mentioned by the CEO of Gemilang Group, then turned to staring at Via who seemed to not care about their conversation.
"Sorry, Mr. Andreas. Do you not know, the fisherman is a great businessman, he even jumped directly into the field to make sure what he caught was really quality. He is also very smart and meticulous to maintain the quality of the fish until it reaches the consumer with the same quality, what person with the status of CEO can also do that? It doesn't seem like it, because not everyone can be a professional fisherman, including a CEO like you," Akmal said.
