The Incomplete Love
PDKT

Hanna and Aira sat on the park bench. This afternoon they will return to Indonesia. The rest of the time in Malaysia is used to get to know each other.

While enjoying the ice cream they talked. It was still awkward, but at least Aira started to open up.

“Ai, I know that the past cannot be changed. Looking forward, your goal is just to be a good Mom for you. Mom please give you a chance, huh?”

“We go together, Ma. Aira should also be used to numb the anger and disappointment with Mama. If Aira's desire is only one. Look at Mama's face. Aira forgot, Ma ..”

Hanna touched Aira's face with her index back. The face of the fusion between Thoriq and himself. She remembers desperately trying to get herself pregnant so that Thoriq would leave Qiara.

Those memories made her dig.

“Mama inget first, huh? Udah Ma, he said God will accept repentance as long as our lives have not been in the esophagus.”

Hanna let out a breath. “Mama used to be so mean. Don't be like Mama, son. Our happiness will not be intact by hurting others.”

Aira smile. In his mind was drawn the face of a person with dark brown hair, blue eyes with a look full of confidence.

“Iih, Mama's son already has a girlfriend?”

“Beluum! But if you have a crush on it already.”

“Who, Ai? Darut Tauhid's pesantren?”

Aira laughing, “Not. Mama definitely doesn't believe it. Uncle Devan's son. His name is Liam.”

“Oh that tall handsome? What age is Ai? I think it's mature. Bule again, weird isn't he?”

“Liam is seventeen years old. Devout muslims, Ma. After that time in Aya's house, he was always polite and respectful to Aira, and did not wander. When Aira is attacked by thugs, Liam saves her until she is stabbed.”

“What? You were attacked by thugs? Aira you're okay, right? How about Thoriq, anyway?”

“Eh Mama, don't get me wrong. Anyway Aira healthy wal afiat.“

“Aira, Mama saw there is a stuffed bear serem in your bed at the boarding school. That's from Liam?”

Aira chuckles amusedly. “Iya, the little one she loved when Aira was two years old. The gedean dikit pas stay at home Aya.”

Hanna recalls a time when Aira, she fell in love with the much older Thoriq.

“Ai, guarded feelings yes. The road between you and Liam is still long. A man in God's hands. Don't force something.”

The plain pink-hooded teenage girl nodded. She understood, Hanna was telling her story. His eyes warmed, this kind of conversation he missed. Conversation of mother and daughter.

“Ma, don't go again, yes ..”

“In shaa Allah, as long as Mama is of age, Mama hopes to continue to be there beside you.”

Aira hugged her mother. Tears flowed down her mother's veil.

“Sorry, Ma, the veil is wet.”

“Not what, Honey. Here's the splitter on Mama's shoulder.”

Aira leaned her head against her mother's shoulder. Hanna took a deep breath. He has to pinch himself to make sure that the moment with Aira is not a dream.

“Mama will try not to disappoint you, Aira,” whispered her heart full of determination.

“Ma, still have the same feeling Aya don't?”

Hanna stroked Aira's head. “Why Aira?”

“You are still combing mama,” said Aira with a ignorant tone.

“Love to Mas Thoriq? There is no. Mama was ashamed of every meeting. And it also looks like your father has not been able to move on from Mbak Qia, huh?”

“Ah is a problem. When it comes to Buna, Aya must be mellow yellow.”

“Mama always pray for you, your father, Mbak Qia, and Kala to be given happiness. Mama can not correct what has happened, but Mama will make up for it by praying for you.”

“Mama has the intention to marry again?”

Hanna recalled how her body had once been exploited into a slave***nose-blind male. Bastian relentlessly makes Hanna have to serve her customers. Satisfy their lust or become a samsak for her ex-husband.

The bitter experience left a deep trauma. Hanna no longer wanted her body to be touched by men. That is why when Dicky takes hold, he goes on a rampage and accuses him of being a pervert like his customers.

“God did create human pairs and our job is to multiply offspring. Only if you can, Mama wants to focus on being a mother first for you, Ai.”

Hanna answered Aira's question carefully. He was sure Aira or anyone would be disgusted at him, a former prostitute. He pleads with the Almighty so that his disgrace will never be exposed.

Aira looked at the clock in her hand.

“We have to go back to the hotel, Ma. In two hours, Aya said we will be invited to the airport.”

Hanna cupped both her hands to Aira's face.

“Thank you, Darling. Mama will not waste the opportunity that you already love.”

“Maafin Aira, yesterday was brazen with Mama.”

“Sama-sama, Son. I'm sorry if one day you'll hear something bad about Mama. Don't copy. Mama used to be stupid. Now, we promise to focus on the future, yes. God willing Mama will always be there for Aira.”

Aira hugged her mother tightly. “Mama ..”

“So Adek is better with his mother? Where is Adek now?”

“So have a chat with Aunt Hanna. How do you feel?”

“When you do, yes, Aira would like to accept Aunt Hanna. It's just that Kala's still having a hard time forgiving Aunt Hanna. According to Aya, evil Kala is not?”

“We should forgive the mistakes of others. Because we also do not escape from wrong and khilaf. It just all needs process. But clearly do not be a vengeful person, do evil to avenge evil.”

“Ih malesin. Like people join me to find a way to make people suffer. Hmm .. When you see first, if Aira is happy, then Kala will apologize Aunt Hanna. Oiya, there's good news. Kala wants to have a grandpa. Buna is pregnant again, Ay.”

“Oh, maa shaa Allah. Aya ... Aya was happy. Greetings to Daddy and Buna ..” Thoriq's voice trembled slightly.

“Ay, sad, yes?”

“Happy tears for your Buna,” says while disguising sadness with a smile.

I saw his father's face.

“Daddy why the hell don't you want to move-on?”

“Kids here are smaller. So I don't dare to be the same. There are also many who have a crush on Kala,” he said while chuckling.

“Do not macem-macem, Kala. Inget pesen Aya, Buna, and Daddy. Must what?”

“Must have a lot of girls,” reply with a serious mimic.

“Kalandra ..”

“Ay ay .. Must be polite with women, must not play with feelings, must be loyal, must not pray because it will invite slander and adultery ..”

Thoriq smiled, “Consider your crisp teenage life, Kala. But it's better crisp than to make a sin.”

“Not a problem, it's not syulit. Because Kala masyih does not want pacyaran.” Kala who was a silly little now pretend to follow the style of the Caucasian talk. He does not sadae sometimes his Indonesian language is still mixed with English and Australian dialect.

“Yes yes, Kala. Later that night Aya came home. Tell Bibik to cook vegetable lodeh same pepes salted fish.”

“Ay ay, Captain!”

After greeting her, Thoriq hung up the phone. He sees Hanna and Aira just returned.

Her daughter saw herself sitting in a coffee shop near the lobby and immediately approached. Hanna simply nodded from afar towards Thoriq and gave a code to Aira that she was going to the room.

Aira saw a sad hue on her father's face.

“Why, Ay? Mas sick?”

“No, Mas healthy just now Aya phone.”

“Buna?”

“Iiih is Buna, anyway? Have you been begging a belly? In two hours we are invited to the airport.“

“Hmmm, Buna means. Passion, Ay. If about Buna already mentog nabrak tembog.”

“There-there to the top.” Thoriq pretended to pinch Aira. While laughing amused Aira ran to the elevator to clean up his things in the room.

Hanna walks down the shops at the airport with Ella. Aira and Latifah chose to sit and watch the hustle and bustle of the airport crew preparing the plane that was parked.

Latifah even aspires to be a pilot in order to always fly through the clouds.

“Can you, Ustadzah from pesantren go to pilot school?”

“Can it be, why not? As long as you pass the test and are in good health.”

Latifah's eyes immediately sparkled while Dicky's brain spun ten times faster in order to raise no small amount of funds.

“Still a few more years, spirit!” Cetus Dicky in a heart still troubled.

“You are here, don't go anywhere. Ustadzah same Bu Hanna want to find souvenirs.”

“In shaa Allah I look out for, Ustadzah. Coincidentally fitting again there is work also so all the ticking,” said Thoriq who sat not far from Aira and Latifah.

“Thank you, Sir. Yuk, Hanna,” reply and take Hanna to a chocolate and candy store not far from there.

Hanna floated a look for Dicky who had vanished somewhere. Then he was busy helping Ella choose small meals and chocolates to take to the boarding school.

After buying the souvenirs they walked around. In one of the shops selling make-up and perfume equipment, Hanna noticed a flamboyant figure standing next to a counter mobbed by SPGs. They seemed engrossed in listening to what was coming out of Dicky's mouth.

Hanna snorted and clucked. Not jealous but disturbed by how much men are like magnets to women.

“Cakep is also not in fact,” his inner while glancing cynically. Ella who noticed Hanna's attitude immediately smiled faintly. Especially from the corner of his eyes he saw Dicky who was shocked when he saw Hanna.

“Dicky was like that a long time ago. It's so easy to make a girl confused. But the boy never took it seriously. Even after mom, she has never dated.”

“He's normal, Mom. Yes aja mleyot,” sahut Hanna origin.

“Hush! Ngaco. It's normal for him. She is equally given the gift of a smart brain and a good face. You must see Aisya, very cantiiik. Her mother is also beautiful.”

Hanna did not comment, she saw Dicky coming out of the store waving to the SPGs.

“Ck .. sok kecakepan,” inner again.

“He was born rich but his father's wealth was overrun by his young wife. Dicky and Aisya didn't get a dime after their father died. Her stepmother had flipped all assets into her name.”

“Bu, we are not ghibah anyway? Loss of know talk of him doang be sin.”

“According to Mother this is the story of her life Dicky, yes who knows ..” said Ella hanging her sentence.

“Who knows what, Mom?”

“Ah no, uh look, this is a durian pie. Can you get on a plane, right? Ask yuk.” Ella distracts.

Before entering the store, Hanna turned to Dicky who was looking at her while smiling to herself.

As their eyes stared, Dicky gave the code to shoot with both hands.

“Jayus. Basic Doctor Ting ting,” grumbled Hanna who was already embarrassed for being caught looking at Dicky.

From far away Dicky laughed. This time he was curious about a woman. Hanna is not the criterion. Widow with one teenager. Not to mention Hanna had a spirit of protest. A treatment she rarely receives from women.

Dicky went into a painting shop not far from there and bought a box of cookies. Wrapped neatly then he sauntered out to where Aira and Latifah were still cool to see the planes that arrived and departed.

The plane of Thoriq departed first. After saying goodbye to Aira because her son will go directly to the boarding school and he returned to Solo. Thoriq left Aira to his mother.

After that Ella and the group left by plane the next hour. Dicky took the last plane in the middle of the night because the tickets were the cheapest.

“Oom will arrive in Jakarta in the early hours dong.” Latifah looked at her uncle with worry.

“No what, Oom take a plane at dawn to Semarang so wait an hour two hours.” Rame kok.” airport Dicky held Latifah's head to calm him down.

The little girl hugs, “Makasi ya Oom already nemenin Ifah.”

“You've been waiting for. Read the prayer before take-off. We will meet in two weeks during the visit, yes.”

“Oom also be careful.”

“In shaa Allah, fii amanillah Ifah.”

Dicky bids farewell to Ella, Hanna, and Aira. Don't forget to leave Latifah with them. From the waiting room he saw the plane carrying them take off towards the homeland.
