The charm of Ayra Khairunnisa
181 Aisha's Grief and One Sense In Rafi's Heart

Arriving at Retno's residence. Ayra leads Aisha to the front porch. As Ayra was about to say goodbye, she delayed her intention because Aisha received a call. Even the mimic of Aisha's face makes pregnant women just waiting for an explanation of what happened. Because the hoarse voice and accompanied by sobs from across makes Ayra can hear clearly because the voice of the mobile phone that Aisha makes maximum.

"Sister. Come home for a minute, brother."

"Sister can't go home yet Lis. Brother is busy."

"Go home, brother. Mom's not feeling well. I always ask you about my brother's condition."

"Where's mom? Let brother talk."

"......"

"Lis. are you crying?"

"Sister. Go home now. I'm waiting for my sister to come home."

"What's wrong Lis? What sick mother? Brother Ndak can go home now. Say the same i-"

Aisha is not done talking to her sister who is about to finish high school. But the voice of a woman sounded quite judes and a little scream from Aisha's phone.

"Ah.... Here. Let Ms. Lek talk. The same! Aisha this is Miss Lek. Cepet. This is your mother who is dead and will be buried today! Don't dawdle!"

Deg.

"Pyaaar."

The phone in Aisha's hand was released from the hand of the girl who was now wearing a stick because of her unhealed legs. Aisha leaned against the entrance of Retno's house. He leaned and sat down. Tears wet both of his cheeks. His lips are unable to speak. Even the dewdrop dripped onto Aisha's tiny lips.

"Mother..... Ma'am..... Hicks..... Hiks..hiks..."

The girl sat down on the floor and lowered her head. Ayra quickly hugged and rubbed her shoulders. He could clearly hear the news that he had just heard from the phone that had now been seen cracking on the screen. A sad news from the village that tried to be covered by Aisha's sister.

The news of her passing made the girl who was currently getting calamity feel pain and tightness in her chest. She also has to accept the fact that the man who just proposed to her and will officially propose to her with his family a few days ago must fail because of the truth that her future husband is a same-sex lover.

"Innalilahi wa innailaihi.... Everything on this earth will go back to its owner Aisha. Death is the secret part of God Aish. Have patience with Aish."

"Hiks.... Mothers.... Aish can't make Mom happy... Mothers....Hicks...."

Aisha hugged Ayra tightly. He wanted to shed his tears, he wanted to complain. Ayra only listened to Aisha's grief and lamentation. For almost a few minutes the girl cried in her mother's arms. He got up and intended to go back to his hometown.

Retno who has not sent all her orders cannot accompany her. Ayra, who said goodbye, asked about the distance to Aisha village.

"Away from here Aish?"

"If it doesn't rain it could be two hours drive ma'am. Because part of the road to the village has not been on asphalt. If it rains or after it rains it can be up to five hours Ma'am."

Aisah's voice was still accompanied by sobs. The woman still repeatedly contacted the car rental agent. Ayra who saw the condition of Aisha's friend, she did not have the heart. He walked to the terrace of Retno's house. She called her husband.

"Mas, can you get a car to drive Aisha back to her village."

"What's wrong with Aisha baby?"

"His mother died. Pity if you have to go there yourself. It means Ayra, please ask Rafi to get a car. Ayra wants to go with all the takziah."

"How many hours' drive there?"

"Nearly two hours if it doesn't rain."

"What's? Ayras. You're pregnant again. That's too far."

"Mas..... "

I heard Bram breathing. He found it hard to refuse his wife's request when her little lips said the word 'mas'.

"They have nothing to do with it."

"alright. Youwait. I'm there with Rafi."

Finally Bram invites Rafi to come with him. Rafi who happens to ask permission to go home early for picking up Lina and Tyas' mother. They just got home. Lucky two orphanage children who have grown up and used to help Mother Lina in the orphanage have returned from KKN.

"Where else is Fi? he said he's home?"

"This is Mr. Boss asking me to take his wife. Aisha's mother died. I was told to get a car at the boss's house. Double axle car ma'am."

"Innalilahi wa innailaihi. Last afternoon I met her the same woman who also hooded Fi. Mommy can go with Fi?"

"......"

Rafi turned towards Lina's mother.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

"Pity. He was crying in the arms of a woman he thought was him. I want to offer my condolences."

"It's far away ma'am."

"Raffirm....."

"This is the boss's wife, come with Ma. I'm allowed to be the same, boss."

Rafi immediately contacted Bram and his boss who had been at Retno's residence agreed. Bram turned out to be deliberately taking his assistant. He saw Aisha as an innocent girl. Just as good as the assistant. So he intends for his assistant to be close to Aisha. Even though Ayra said yesterday that she can't match people if only for dating.

"If you can make me and Ayra happy in every moment of our lives. At least you should be happy too. You're good people, baby if you're paired with a bad one."

Before long Rafi has arrived with a double cabin truck or Ford Ranger owned by his boss.

They left for Aisha's hometown. Rafi was asked to drive the car. He who intends to invite the driver is banned by Bram. Bram asked the assistant to be their driver.

It is almost two hours drive to Aisha village. The streets are dusty enough because it has not rained long enough. Rafi drove the car quite slowly because of Bram's request. Arrive in a village that looks new streets in concrete vines.

A house with a fairly simple tent looks yellow flag. Lots of vehicles and people were in the tent. Aisha had a little trouble walking towards her house. Three people who saw the arrival of the eldest child of the recently deceased woman quickly ran into Aisha's arms.

"Sister.... Mom has no sister.... Hicks...."

Aisha who had been fasting cried. He could only hold his lips to keep them from opening. He did not want to look sad and down because of the death of their mother. He who has grown up and Lilis who has aged is no longer called an orphan. But for Nurul and Alifah, who are still under 15 years old. Today his two younger siblings became Orphans.

Aisha just hugged her three sisters tightly hugging them. Her tears still wet her cheeks. He looked at Alifah who was still in 5th grade SD. He wiped away the tears on his sister's cheeks.

"There's still a brother. Don't be sad... "

Aisha tries to hold back her crying voice as she gives encouragement to her youngest sister who has a history of asthma.

On the way to the front room of the simple house. Aisha could not help but cry. He hugged his mother's body, he hugged her so tightly. He opened the cloth that covered the face of the mother.

Aisha was so strong when she bathed her mother, even until the burial process of the mother's body. The girl just shed tears. Without the one wail he showed. But his heart was not as strong as what people saw. When he returned from the tomb, he hugged Alifah. She hugged the last shirt her mother wore.

"Goddessa.... Aisha will look after Mom's sisters. Sorry Aisha has not been able to fulfill Mother's request to get married. Aisha was sad because she could not make her mother happy. But if Aisha is married, what about your sisters. Forgive Aisha, Aisha will take the sisters to the end of her education."

The sight that made one man sitting in the corner of the room quietly observe Aisha. He could feel what the two people were feeling.

"Ah I'm so sad Nes.... Elo also has a big responsibility."

Rafi during the funeral many heard from residents around Aisha's residence if the girl he had known as a chatty and jutek woman turned out to have a good heart. He even paid for his younger siblings after his father died.
