The Neglected Angel
Chapter 24. The Arrival of In-Law


Chapter 24


Aisyah smiled sweetly welcoming the arrival of her two in-laws and sister-in-law. Usually they never come at night for some reason they come at the wrong time.


"Where did Mama and Papa run out of? Tumben nights here," asked Aisyah as they sat on the living room sofa.


"We're coming home from Erlangga's house. We had dinner together. Coincidentally Bintang—adiknya Sakti—still live in Jakarta has not returned to Kalimantan," replied Papa Sakti.


"Star Aunt hasn't come home yet? We should have come there too" Aisyah muttered regretfully.


Mama Venus knows the feelings of her daughter-in-law, but she doesn't want Aisyah to exhaust herself. The middle-aged woman knew that the pregnant woman had been active again on campus.


"Just be calm they will stay until tomorrow in Jakarta. We have lunch tomorrow at Andromeda's restaurant" said Mama Venus, wiping her daughter-in-law's hand.


Aisyah who does not know that Andromeda has several restaurants and cafes is of course surprised. The woman knew nothing about her husband's life. 


'Too many things I don't know about my husband. I only know from the rumors on campus. Even I just believe he's a same-sex person, in fact it's a lie. How fierce he was on the bed and his love was so strong and great to Sister Cantika. I shouldn't believe the rumour.' (Disha)


The galaxy watching her brother-in-law suddenly chanted, "Why, Brother-in-law? Didn't Andro ever take a meal to his restaurant?"


Aisyah was asked that way by her husband's sister. He just nodded in response.


"What?" Everyone there was surprised. 


They thought at least Andromeda had invited his wife to a romantic meal. Usually the man is always proud if anyone praises his food is good.


Especially this against women who have become life partners. At least he'll give you his best food.


"Maybe it's because we're busy right now, so Mas Andro hasn't invited me to his restaurant yet" Aisyah said in defense of her husband.


Papa Sakti circulated his gaze looking for the figure of the first son who had not yet been seen the trunk of his nose. They have been there a long time.


"Where's Andromeda?" ask the middle-aged man.


Aisyah was confused about what to answer, if she honestly feared that her two in-laws would be angry. However, if he lied he was afraid of sin.


The sound of a car and visible light from the headlights are now off. Aisyah knew it was her husband's car. Especially when you hear footsteps approaching.


The man knew both his parents were inside the house, because their car was in the yard. Andromeda has prepared himself if asked many questions by papa and his mother.


"Where have you been?" papa Sakti asked as soon as he saw Andromeda.


The man was seen snorting because his mouth had not also said greetings already at the helm of questions by his father. He sat on the sofa.


"I'm out of the Judge's mansion" replied Andromeda.


"Why are you going there?" ask Mama Venus this time.


"There is a need with the family's deputy security chief" Andromeda replied casually not even looking at her mother who was sitting side by side with Aisyah.


The man sat down and closed his eyes. He wanted to quickly go into the room to read the report given by Bagaskara.


"What's the matter until you come to them?" ask Papa Sakti with a full glance.


"Just ask them for a little help" Andromeda replied with slightly open eyes.


"You're not involved in anything dangerous, are you?" Papa Sakti increasingly railed the question to his first son.


Andromeda could not say all that before it was clear who the real culprit was. Bagaskara said the case was light, but like a tangled thread that must be careful when breaking it and not to pull the thread wrong. If it happens later it is tied strongly and will be difficult to decipher. Then the only way is to break that thread.


"Papa thinks I'm a man who likes to be involved in something dangerous. It's not that Papa himself knows I don't like violence" Andromeda argued.


"Sister, has Brother-in-law never been to that sister's proud restaurant?" galaxy asked casually while inserting a piece of pastry served by Aisyah.


"It's late, it's time for Ayesha to rest" Andromeda said, standing up.


***


Early in the morning as usual Aisyah prepared her own breakfast. Whatever he made, Andromeda never touched let alone ate the food.


Until now he still can not eat rice, then he only consume cereal and milk. 


'Tumben hasn't come down yet, it's been almost 7 hours in 15 minutes. What's the sleep after the dawn prayer?'


Aisha climbed the stairs to her husband's room. He knocked several times the teak door hard, but there was no telling from within. So he opened that door.


"Mas, I'm in, yeah!"


Andromeda was sitting on the sofa holding a laptop. As usual he fell asleep while leaning on the back of the chair he was sitting on.


"Mas, ba—" Aisyah who was about to wake Andromeda saw Renata's profile data paper.


Somehow he was also curious about the laptop that is now in a state of death. Then, he tried to turn on that wide-sailing thing. There are lots of photos of Renata there. There was a sudden sense of tightness and pain that had infiltrated Aisyah's heart.


'Did Mas Andro like Renata?'


Aisyah's thoughts drifted to yesterday when her friend came to Andromeda's study. Anyone would think like this. So the woman decided to leave the man's room.


***


While on campus, Renata and Tarisa smiled broadly at Aisyah who got out of the car. Both of his friends like to make a scene wherever they are.


"Hey, let's go to the movies, yuk!" bring Tarisa.


"Yeah!" greet Renata with spirit.


"Sorry, it seems like I can't," Aisyah said softly. She did not want her husband to be angry with her again. He was asked to take care of his body. If something happens to their baby, Andromeda will not hesitate to reply to him.


As they chatted, Armand, Aziz, and Hendrik joined them. The three men quietly glanced towards Aisyah who was laughing chuckling while covering her mouth.


"I want to have a Thanksgiving, you guys come home, yeah!" take Armand to his friends who struggle with him.


"When?" ask Renata and Tarisa simultaneously.


"Lusa," replied Armand and of course was welcomed by his friends, except Aisyah who said she could not come because she had to do her job and had already made an agreement with the coaching lecturer.


"You are not solidarity with friends. At least you quickly complete your task, then come to the house of Armand," Tarisa said insinuating Aisyah to follow their event.


"Not so, you know for yourself how strict my family is," Aisyah replied.


Aisyah's friends know that the woman lives in a pesantren complex. They do not know that he is no longer home with his two masters.


"Renata, come to the Father's room!" andromeda's Word to Renata. The man was standing at the door of the study.


A wide smile is created from a woman's red lips by the lip color of her favorite brand. Renata hurriedly ran after Andromeda.


Aisyah looked at her husband and friend at the same time. His mind has been branched everywhere.


"Is Renata in a relationship with Mr. Andromeda?" ask Armand and Hendrik at the same time.


***


Will the problems that ensnare Aisyah and Andromeda be resolved soon? Why does Andromeda always call Renata? Wait for it to go, yeah!
