The Aisyah Love Pier
Test Loyalty

A bright morning replaces a dark night, the rising sun brings warmth like a wish that brings prayer in every effort.

Today is Akmal's third day of job searching at various types of companies. Even so, the man's spirit to find a job never subsided. Evidently from so many vacancy sites that he opened on the internet then he recorded the name and address of the company into a small paper.

Though Zafran had offered Akmal to take care of the restaurant in Singapore, but the man refused because of the distance is also far, he was not too sure of his ability if diverted to the restaurant.

"Mas, breakfast first," Aisyah asked the husband who had been sitting on the porch with his cell phone, paper and pen.

"Okay, honey, come on." Akmal stepped into the house first, not realizing that Aisyah was not walking next to him because she was still focusing on a mobile phone featuring various job openings.

While Aisyah was silently glued to a small paper containing several company names complete with her address.

"Am I selfish? Holding my husband here so hard to find a job, while the job vacancies in the ocean are waiting for him?"

Aisyah closed her eyes to hold the clear grain that was about to break out again. Her chest felt so tight that her trauma and sympathy for her husband clashed inside, she was really worried right now.

"Why not go to the kitchen?" akmal's question from behind made him wake up and reflexively turned towards the man.

Seeing that his paper was in Aisyah's hands, Akmal quickly took the paper and put it in the pocket of the shirt he was wearing at the moment.

"Don't look at it Honey, you'll get dizzy if you see the chicken claw writing," he chanted and grabbed Aisyah's shoulder and pointed her to the kitchen for breakfast together.

Breakfast this morning felt so quiet, only the sound of the clanking of spoons accompanying each mouthful.

"Mas, are you going to apply for another job today?" ask Aisyah.

"God willing, dear" replied Akmal.

Aisyah let out a rough breath, her heart was completely tormented while having to fight against her fear. "Maas ...."

"Yes, Honey?"

"Just accept Mr. Bagas' offer yesterday to take you back to sail."

Akmal furrowed his brows at the words of his wife. "Where do you know about Mr. Bagas and his offer, honey?" tanyakanya.

"When you were talking on the balcony of the room, I accidentally heard it, Mas. Sorry," said Aisyah.

Akmal stared at the sad Aisyah who was sitting in front of him. "It's okay, honey. Let me make an effort to find a job here with you."

"It's okay, Mom. It was Mas skill, I was sincere," he said bowed while squeezing his thighs so as not to cry in front of Akmal.

"Darling, look me in the eye" said the man.

Aisyah raised her face with reddened eyes and tears that had gathered in her eyes. Seeing the fragility of the wife, Akmal immediately rose from his chair, he circled the dining table to be able to approach the woman.

Akmal pulled Aisyah into his arms, and at once the woman's cry broke. Very close embrace from his wife, as if he did not want to separate far from the husband.

"Cry dear and take out everything that is stuck in your heart so that your heart can be more relieved" said Akmal as he rubbed Aisyah's long hair. He no longer cared about his shirt that was wet with tears.

"Mas, I-I'm scared away from you, I .. I'm afraid you found another woman there and left me again, hyster," Aisyah said as she pleased.

"Among the same, I'm afraid you're tired of waiting for me," Akmal's inner embrace tightened his arms and closed his eyes so as not to tear.

Today Akmal still goes to apply for work, he will still first try to find a job so that he does not need to return to sailing. However, everything was nil, until the afternoon arrived, none of the companies received it.

To be honest, getting a job offer directly from his boss is a golden opportunity, because that way he can immediately return to work without going through the interview stage and others.

Especially considering his obligation as a husband and son who must support his wife as well as his mother and sister, he said, no matter how rich his wife's family is but when it comes to his household then he is the one who must take full responsibility. Asking for financial help from your wife will only hurt your self-esteem.

"Assalamu 'alaikum," said Akmal who had just arrived and immediately kissed Aisyah's forehead after Aisyah kissed the back of her hand.

"Mas, there is Bude Luna inside," Aisyah said as she embraced Akmal's hand into the house.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Bude" said Akmal as he kissed the middle-aged woman's back hand, then sat down with Bude Luna in the living room.

"Bude heard from Sofi's mother, said you fired yah?" search Bude Luna.

"Yes Bude, this is still a job vacancy" Akmal replied with a smile.

"Have you?"

"Not Bude."

There was a rough gasp of breath from the middle-aged woman. Serious facial sharpness was also clearly visible on her beautiful face despite being slightly wrinkled.

"Where are you graduates? How come no one company wants to accept you to work anyway?" tanyakanya.

"Mas Akmal, a Bude cruise graduate, Mas Akmal has also been contacted by his boss to work again" replied Aisyah, who had just arrived with a cup of warm tea for Akmal.

"Certainly so?" ask Bude Luna.

"Yes Bude" Akmal replied.

"Why not be accepted? Accept it, do not be pretentious, because the evidence until now you have not been able to do other work, well as long as you are loyal there," said Bude Luna a little to look at Akmal's heart.

"Bude, Mas Akmal is not repulsive, but Mas Akmal is trying to find a close one first because he does not want to leave Aisyah here," Defa Aisyah.

"Then what was the outcome? When will the effort continue? Want until your savings run out because of a lot of expenses without any income, is that it?"

Aisyah looked at the downcast husband, she clearly knew her husband had never thought like that but she did not want to answer the words Bude was speaking because he respected her.

Gently holding Akmal's hand, the man made a smile towards him for a moment and turned to Bude Luna.

"Yes Bude, if Aisyah allows it, Akmal will accept the offer" he said turning to Aisyah.

"Well, but remember, you're married well, don't try to hurt Bude's nephew."

"Yes Bude, Akmal won't hurt Aisyah because Akmal loves her so much."

The night before going to bed, Aisyah and Akmal returned to pillow talk as usual.

"Darling, are you sincerely returning to sail? I won't work there forever, I'll raise capital first after that I'll return to open a business with you." Akmal looked at Aisyah's face lying next to him..

"Yes, Mas. If that's the best, I'm sincere, please take care of your heart, ma'am." Aisyah tilted her body towards Akmal and touched her field chest.

"I promise, dear, you also please take care of your heart, be patient waiting for me."

"Yes, I promise."

Akmal brought Aisyah into his arms. "I will miss this curve" said Akmal as he kissed Aisyah's head.

One of the toughest things in a relationship is being separated by distance, because behind the weight of holding back the longing there is a test of loyalty in it.
