The Aisyah Love Pier
Love Expressions

The sun slowly rose in the eastern horizon, drop after drop of dew began to wet the fertile surface of the plant. Fresh air is so soothing to the heart, it becomes an encouragement of the beauty of realizing a dream.

A car drove through the fog in the morning, when the road still seemed to be stretched by the vehicle. As Akmal said that night, today the couple began a rather long journey to a village quite far from the city crowd.

For now only Aisyah and Akmal are leaving, while Khaira and Ainun choose their own sightseeing spots that are certainly more fun for children his age.

It had been an hour since the car that Akmal and Aisyah were driving left the city. Now they go through more beautiful roads, not many vehicles, and the atmosphere on the side of the road filled with plantations, very cool and beautiful to the eye.

The journey still continued until 2 hours later, when their car entered a village that had narrow streets and was uneven by small rocks, even so the scenery in the village was very beautiful, and the scenery was very beautiful, the houses of the citizens who were not too close together were quite simple but looked so comfortable.

Aisyah is not a child of the village, her parents are from the same big city as modern life, so just by looking at the scenery of the village was enough to make the veiled woman sitting beside Akmal stunned.

"Do you like the view?" ask Akmal.

"Yes, I like it, Mas" he replied with a happy smile.

"As for information, this is the village of my late father, he was born here, and asked to be buried here" Akmal said.

Aisyah turned to her husband and looked at him deeply, not knowing what he was thinking about the man next to her.

"We've arrived." Akmal stopped his car in front of a cemetery in the village.

The man got out of the car along with Aisyah who was also coming down.

"Come here." Akmal took Aisyah's hand to enter the cemetery. They continued to step until they arrived at a tomb with a tombstone that read 'The late Sharif'.

Akmal crouched down and poured water on the father's grave and recited a prayer, Aisyah followed what the husband did until the man finished his prayer.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Dad, this is Akmal. I'm sorry that Akmal didn't come with Mama and Aira. Mama and Aira went straight back to B town yesterday because Aira was going to the thesis exam. Instead, Akmal came with Akmal's wife, her name was Aisyah. I know, she's a special lady after Mama. In the first meeting he had made Akmal fall in love, in the second meeting he had made Akmal always miss him, and in the third meeting he managed to make Akmal fall in love."

Aisyah was so shocked to hear Akmal's confession before her father's grave. Even his eyes are now glazed over as he feels touched by the husband's confession, even though the man admits his feelings not directly.

"Dad, Allah is very good, even though Akmal was heartbroken because it turned out that time Bang Zafran had proposed Aisha first, but in the midst of Akmal's resignation, God actually returned Aisha to Akmal, who was the first of his friends, even in unexpected ways." Akmal seemed to rub his eyes that began to dew.

Aisyah embraced her husband's hand, her tears even dripping upon hearing his confession this morning.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Dad, this is Aisyah, Dad's daughter-in-law. Aisyah wanted to tell a story, one year ago, Aisyah heard the voice of someone teaching, her voice was beautiful, a few days later Aisyah heard the adhan and taught again, so beautiful the voice, so beautiful, Aisyah had not realized that she had fallen in love with the owner of the voice."

Akmal felt a little disappointed to hear Aisyah's story, it seemed that Aisyah did not love him, so Akmal thought at this time.

"But, after a long time Aisyah did not hear her voice, finally a few days ago Aisyah heard it again on the balcony of the hotel room in the middle of the night, and I know who she is? It turns out he's Dad's son."

Akmal immediately turned to look at Aisyah who was also looking at him while smiling behind her veil.

"God is very good, bringing together and making people who Aisyah admires into the husband of Aisyah," he said as he stared fixed Akmal's eye bead which now re-glazed. In the rubbing of the man's eyes gently so as not to let out tears.

Both of them stared at each other in silence, now clearly visible gaze full of love between the two. The love that they had been silent for so long, was now revealed.

"Where are we going, honey?" ask Ainun excitedly.

"Khaira's tired, Aunt. Khaira wants Papa's phone?" asked Khaira who indirectly asked Ainun to contact her father because she had not been given permission to have a mobile phone.

"Oh, may you memorize your Papa number?" Khaira nodded in answer to Ainun's question.

Khaira began making video calls to Zafran using Ainun's cell phone.

After a while of waiting, Zafran finally saw the face on the screen of the phone.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Papa, '" Khaira said with a smile on her tiny face.

"Wa'alaikum greetings, dear. Khaira called whose cell phone is this? Why not Grandma's phone or Ummi Aisyah's?" ask Zafran across the phone.

"Khaira again use her cellphone aunt Ainun, because again the streets with aunt Ainun, this aunt Ainun." Khaira pointed her phone at Ainun who was sitting next to her while drinking water in a bottle.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Ainun, '" Zafran said.

"Wa'alaikum salam, Mr. Zafran," said Ainun no less friendly.

Zafran was about to open his mouth to talk to Ainun again, but Khaira quickly returned the phone to his face.

"Why do you come home?" khaira asked in her powerful voice.

"God willing next week, baby. Wait for Papa and Oma, well," replied Zafran.

"Yeeee, soon dong, asikkk," cried Khaira so excited.

There was the sound of laughter of Zafran and Sofi's mother across the phone hearing the chatter of joy from Khaira.

As if remembering something, Khaira instantly fell silent.

"Oh yes, if Papa comes back here, Papa must bring Mama to Khaira, otherwise Ainun's aunt will be Mama Khaira," threatening Khaira immediately made Ainun who again drank the water choked until coughing.

"Huh? God willing, dear," answered Zafran in confusion. "Yes, it's a long time ago dear, Assalamu 'alaikum, '" Zafran said ending his video call before another threat came out of his daughter's mouth.

⚓⚓⚓

While in Singapore, Zafran and Sofi's mother who heard Khaira's threats now looked at each other, and in the next second Sofi laughed freely, and Zafran only smiled while shaking his head.

"Ma, Mama's granddaughter is there talent so matchmaker well," joked Zafran.

"That's because you didn't see Khaira Mama" Sofi's mother replied in between her laughter.
