The Neglected Angel
Chapters 2. Identity of Ayesha and Andromeda

Chapter 2

It is customary for Aisyah to wake up at 02:00 in the morning. So also now he opened his eyes, but only slept about 2 hours after almost 3 hours of fighting to reach the heaven of the world with Andromeda.

How surprised he was when he realized being in the deck of this cold lecturer without clothes. The bodies of both were only covered by a thin sheet of blankets. 

'Astaghfirullahal'adhim. O God, forgive me for not being able to resist my wishes last night. Although this heart refused and screamed, but my body was powerless to resist.'

Aisyah's tears melted again, she remembered the incident last night where she and the man who was sleeping next to her were both venting desire because of the curse medicine. The thing this woman hated the most was that she had enjoyed the touch of a man who had taken away the sanctity she should have given to Ustadz Syakir, her future husband.

Aisyah felt her body crumble, but forced herself to get up. The woman limped towards the villa. The feelings he felt right now were anger, resentment, and regret mixed into one.

The clear liquid that came out of his net seemed to not want to stop, in his smooth body now there are many traces left by Andromeda. His hands rubbed hard at every red mark until it blisters, as he could still feel the touch from the man.

Aisyah prayers do with earnest cry of regret. Puffy face and puffy eyes cannot be hidden. The woman's mouth was ceaselessly reciting istighfar. He knew the great sin he had committed earlier, even without his own will.

"Subhaanallaahi wa bihamdihii astaghfirullaahi wa atuubu ilaiih" (Holy o Allah with all the statements of thanksgiving to Him, I ask Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him)

Early in the morning Aisyah and her friends came home in a pickup car. The students haven't seen Andromeda or Surya since last night.

"Aisha, I know you are very sad to part with the people of this village. They are kind and considerate of us all. But, if you cry like this it feels very excessive," said Renata who had seen Aisyah's eyes swollen and reddened.

"They helped us a lot during our stay here, it's only natural that Aisyah is sad because she has to separate," Tarisa said while embracing Aisyah.

Aisyah simply nodded, as her voice exhausted the effects of crying and shouting since last night. He also tries to avoid talking to others.

***

Aisyah's heart was further broken when she saw Ustadz Syakir coming to pick her up on campus. A big smile from the man who preached himself 5 months ago, and only 7 months left they will get married.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ayesha," greeted Ustadz Syakir with a gentle tone and sparkling eyes staring at him.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ustadz Syakir," Ayesha replied.

"Sister-in-law, you know what? Since last night Kang Syakir can't sleep and keeps thinking about you. As a result, I was invited to stay up all night," said Syakira with a sullen face, the younger brother of Ustadz Syakir who was still a teenager.

Aisyah's eyes were rounded, in shock. Because, last night she had committed a betrayal of her future husband. It felt like he wanted to cry right now and tell her what had happened to him last night.

'Does Ustadz Syakir still want this tarnished me?' (Disha)

"What's Ayesha?" asked Ustadz Syakir, because the woman was still standing still not getting into the car.

Aisyah flinched and smiled thinly and then entered the car whose door had been opened by a man with a look of piety. The car left the parking lot.

Andromeda grabbed her hair in anger. His memory goes back to last night. When he gives up his passion for a girl who is a student at the college where he teaches.

"I have taken away the woman's sanctity. Even I took out the seed inside somehow. What if the woman is pregnant?" andromeda Gumam.

One Week later ….

Andromeda was walking quickly towards the Grand Mosque of Alfalah, he was about to do the Zuhr prayer whose time was very short to end. 

He saw that Aisyah was sitting in the courtyard of the mosque together with someone he knew well. 

'Zahra? Is Aisha Zahra's brother?' (Andromeda)

"Andro?" Zahra who was looking at him suddenly said hello.

"Yes. Sorry, yeah, I'm in a hurry!" Andromeda quickly entered the place of male ablution.

As soon as he finished praying and was about to leave there was someone who patted his shoulder. Andromeda saw someone he knew.

'Why should I meet people I don't want to meet right now.' (Andromeda)

"Assalamu'alaikum, Andro," said Fatih.

"Va'alaikumsalam, Fatih's. How are you doing? We haven't seen each other in a long time" Andromeda replied.

"I'm good, ever since we got together at Cantika's house, never to be reunited" Fatih said.

Hearing the name Cantika Andromeda's heart rippled. The woman who became the first love and to this day. A man who can steal his heart on the first day they meet. A lost cousin and a woman who is haram for her to marry. However, her love for him was so great.

"I hear you live in Australia now" Andromeda told the mixed-faced man.

"Yes, the last two years Zahra and I have been living there. But it's been almost a year living here again. However, it is better to live in your own country" said Fatih.

While waiting for the Ashar Adhan to roar, the two men chatted. By the time they finished praying together, Fatih took Andromeda to his house.

"Darling, I met Andromeda" Fatih told Zahra as they met in the parking lot.

The couple did not know that there were two human children who were raging thoughts and feelings at this time. Aisyah felt fear and anger at the man who had taken away her honor. Meanwhile, Andromeda was upset and worried about Aisyah saying the incident in the villa to Zahra. She was also afraid that she was carrying her seed.

"Andro, meet my sister, Aisyah," Zahra said.

"Greetings," Andromeda replied as she stared at Aisyah and she cupped her hands together.

"Andro is the cousin of Cantika I told you about before" Zahra whispered to Aisha.

'What? So, Andromeda is a man who fell in love with his wife Brother Alex?' (Disha)

***

Will Aisha be honest with Ustadz Syakir for what has happened to her? What will Andromeda do after knowing that the woman he snatched away was the sister-in-law of a distant relative? Wait for it to go, yeah!
