The Charm of The Twins
35 Ammar's Heartbreak


Three days have passed since Ammar's rescue of the woman who was covered in wounds on her body. He has not been allowed by Ayra to fly back to the kangaroo country. He only monitors his work by email. He was actually waiting for news from the person who was asked to investigate the case of Ibrahim's disappearance. But until the third day there was no word from the men he had sent.


That morning at Miss Allyne's. A beautiful young CEO was also gracefully confused. The third day he was with the woman in his living room. The woman was conscious. Miss Allyne was confused. Communication only takes place one way. His question was answered only by the woman. Their interaction is very rigid. The woman only looks cheerful underarms with a toddler named Hanifah. The little girl is often called Ifah by Alisha.


Miss Allyne goes into Alisha's room. He greeted the guest who had been staying at his residence for three days.


"For Alisha. How are you this morning?" Miss Allyne asked while teasing Hanifah. He held the toddler's chubby cheek.


"Good God." Her speech.


"....." Miss Allyne was at a loss as to what she should talk about again. Because Alisha was always quiet when she asked him to talk. His gaze was like a frightened man. He did not even dare to look at his interlocutor.


"Tell me what I can do for you and this little girl. Frankly, I can't bear to see what that guy did to you. Who is that guy? Your husband?" Ask Miss Allyne.


Alisha lowered her head. He did not dare to answer. He remembered how half a month ago he tried to escape from the man who tortured him yesterday. But his efforts were in vain. When he was at the airport, he could not continue his plans. He wanted to go home, he didn't know where he was going. All he knows is that he has parents in Indonesia. But he doesn't know where the address is. He often communicates with his mother on his cell phone.


He has no cell phone and no money.


"I am like a prisoner in marriage... Hix... Hix... I don't know. He said I was his wife. But I don't remember anything about me and him. I don't even know how a woman calls me. Which I call Umi." Alisha said with her crying voice.


Miss Allyne seems interested in the story of Alisha's life. He approached Alisha. He hugged her slowly. His finger rubbed Alisha's back.


"Tell me.. So I can help you... Frankly, I am very concerned to see your condition. And how could you say you didn't know about yourself while you said you and that man were tied to marriage." Said Miss Allyne quietly and rubbed Alisha's back.


Hanifah who saw Alisha crying. It was like he often saw such conditions. He approached the woman he called Umi.


"Mii... Umm.. Nanan...."


[Mi. umi don't cry].


Alisha also broke her embrace. He hugged the toddler. The toddler's hand also plays Alisha's hijab.


Alisha tells her story to Miss Allyne.


He only remembered what happened after he came to his senses from his coma. He was lying in the hospital at the time. He could not walk because of an accident. When he opened both his eyes. He saw a man. Because he doesn't remember anything. The man said he was her husband. Name's Alex.


Alex says he's in a coma because of an accident. They have a 4 month old child. One month after he regained consciousness and was able to walk again. He also returned to an apartment. The apartment was strange because it didn't have any of their photos. Not even a passport can be seen by Alisha. But the more Alisha asked the more often she was treated harshly.


Even Alex would be very angry if Alisha came out of the house alone. He would whip and even lock Alisha in the room all day sometimes not fed. The more days, Alisha is getting used to getting her husband's treatment. She always gave in when her husband acted arbitrarily.


"You never tried to fight?" Miss Allyne asked curiously.


"Ever, but the blessing of Hanifa must get harsh treatment. He wasn't even buying milk." Alisha still shed tears.


"I'm just confused.... Am I right his wife. Because if I was his wife... One year I married her... He never treated me well. Different from the people I see. Husbands and wives love each other, do not hurt. While it's me and Alex's wedding...." Said slowly. He could not continue his sentence.


While Miss Allyne is trying to find what can provide a solution for Alisha. That poor girl.


"Do you still want to go back to your husband?" Ask Miss Allyne.


Alisha shook her head quickly. He held the back of Miss Allyne's hand.


"I beg you.help me. Help me to be free from that man. Take me anywhere Miss... I would do anything for Miss if Miss Allyne could save me from my husband." Alisha said, with a face full of tears.


Miss Allyne rubbed the back of her hand.


"While you stay here. Don't go anywhere. If you need anything. You can ask your housekeeper. I'm glad I have a friend who speaks one language. Because I almost never use this language out there. Then people will be surprised when they know I can speak fluent Indonesian. All right, I gotta get to the office. Rest up. Remember never to get out of my house. You're safe here." Her speech.


She left Alisha and Hanifah in their room. He had to go to the office to work and he also had a meeting with Ammar aka Marvin.


While Ammar was looking for Ayra's whereabouts, he found the number one woman in his family preparing lunch with Nur.


I haven't seen the lunch menu on the table.


"The cooked nur. He's cooking squid soup... Papa hasn't eaten seafood in a long time." Say Ayra while putting the menu under the housekeeper to the dining table.


"That smells good. Well, it looks like me and Papa will get fatter if all the women in this house are good at cooking." Ammar flipped his dinner plate.


Suddenly his phone rang. He pulled a flat object out of his pocket. It turned out that a call from the person he asked to investigate the case of Ibrahim was also a woman named Alisha. Ammar doesn't even know his name.


"Hello..."


"Hello... Yeah how." Say Ammar while standing and away from the dining room.


He stood by the door facing the back garden. But he can still be seen from the place of Ayra and Nur. Nur noticed Ammar's lips. It's easy to hear people's conversations without listening to their voices. He is armed with 4 years experience in the field as a level two expert in the field, can easily read people's lip movements.


"Say what news?" Ammar.


"We've got the woman's information you asked the boss for yesterday. Her name is Alisha. She's Alek's wife. An oil businessman from Indonesia who is opening a business in Australia." Obviously Ammar's men.


Immediately Ammar immediately closed the call.before his phone rang. Message from his men. He saw an email containing Alisha's biodata complete with a picture of a veiled woman.


"Hhhhh... Astarghfirullah... Why should a married woman and wife Ammar... C'mon Ammar..." Ammar.


"Wife People... Who Ammar meant. What does this have to do with Mas Ibra?" Batin Nur's.


"Ammar... Let's eat first. Take care of the job again." Call Ayra to Ammar.


Eldest Ayra quickly hurriedly walked towards the dining table. He who had looked excited, now looked lethargic. He even took a little rice. No conversation after eating. When he finished eating, Ammar quickly went to his room.


"Hhhhh.... I hope I can forget him. But if the man is her husband. What kind of husband treats his wife so cruelly." Ammar's heart seemed to refuse when his brain asked to stop imagining or thinking about the woman.


One day Ayra's eldest son lost his passion. He even shut himself up. Ayra who saw the afternoon her son still did not leave the room. From Ibrahim's room. He knocked on the door of his son's room.


"Come on Ma, not locked." Ammar.


Ayra approached her son. He saw an ashtray that had so many cigarette butts. When his son will take out one more cigarette from his place. Ayra held her hand.


"What's the problem?" Ask Ayra.


"If love could choose. I'll choose a girl or a widow instead of Ma's wife..." Ammar said while strumming the guitar on his lap.


"So she's somebody's wife?"


Ammar nodded his head.


"But in tortured her husband Ma."


"Mama once told me about the sins of superstition or disturbed the wife of the Nak... Nor will his sins fall by repenting to God." Ayra said slightly widening her two eyes.


"I'm sorry Ammar couldn't keep Ammar Ma's eyes on him." Ammar said with regret.


"Sway that woman. Don't go near him anymore. God cursed the man who bullied the wife of the child. You know what it means to be far from the love of God, to have trouble living, and to be cursed by God. Naudzubillah min.... " Sayra was full of emphasis on her son.


Ammar swallowed his rough salivary. His mother's voice sounded very firm. From childhood Ayra does not tolerate her children if they make mistakes that involve sharia or the obligations of her children. Moreover, all forms of ways and attitudes when dealing with God's creature named man. But he will give an explanation of what went wrong and what should be done according to religious law.


"Ammar will not meet her and approach her Ma. Ammar will have Marvin help himself or return him to his family." Ammar.


His lips said that but his heart felt sore. It was as if his heart and lips were out of sync.
