The Neglected Angel
Chapter 54. Family Session (2)

Chapter 54

The condition of the front room in the Andromeda house feels gripping. There were six people sitting there. However, the situation there was suppressed by the sharp and angry gaze of Papa Sakti and Abah Ahmad. Meanwhile, Mama Venus and Umm Mirna look very disappointed.

Andromeda's body trembled violently even Aisyah whose hand was in the same hand she could feel that vibration. He regretted his actions for not knowing what their future would be like. 

"I'm sorry Abah. I used to be jealous of Aisha, for feeling unloved by her. Assuming that he will return to his former lover, because he was unhappy when he was with me. I don't want our son to get hurt and hurt. So, I made the covenant letter," I Andromeda with a heavy breath for holding back his sobs. 

Mama Venus who was initially upset and also angry, now understands her son, why do it like that. He knew that Andromeda could not understand his feelings and it was difficult to express them through words. She felt that her son and daughter-in-law loved each other a long time ago and she knew it from their eyes and body language.

"Pa, Andro is different from you who easily says what is in the heart and what is thought through words. Andro easier to express what he is feeling? What is he thinking through his actions? Mama is sure she would rarely say 'I love you' or say the word 'love' to Aisyah. Though mama could see how much Andro loved Aisyah through the gaze of her eyes, the way she kissed Aisyah, or hugged her. Uh, she also likes to cook food for Aisyah as well as that as an expression of love for her. And mama is sure that Aisyah is not aware that it is the way Andro expresses love to her," explained Mama Venus.

Aisyah was flabbergasted at the words from the mother-in-law. He did not realize it was an expression of Andromeda's love for him. Instead, the woman thought that all the actions of the husband were a form of attention only.

Chief Aisyah nodded. After all, he is a person who easily understands that fit through words and deeds. If, just deeds without speech, he assumes himself through his mind.

"Although religiously still it has fallen one talak with the intention to separate after the baby was born," said Abah Ahmad and made Andromeda shake his head. He did not want to divorce Aisha.

"I don't want a divorce from Aisha, Abah. At that time I was caliph and did not know that such a letter of agreement had made me drop talak. I thought the talaq would fall if it was said in front of Aisyah, "i am Andromeda who is still lacking in religious knowledge.

Papa Sakti looked towards the wife who was patting her hands. The man knew that this part of his life was asking to forgive their son's mistakes.

"Then, how better is this, Abah?" ask Papa Sakti for his iron.

"They have to say the ijab qobul back, because this is a long time ago" replied Abah Ahmad.

How happy Andromeda was, because he would not part with the woman he loved. This time he will really take care and live a household life with the intention of lillahi ta'ala.

"Did you not know that your husband's actions have violated the law of religion?" abah Ahmad asked with a questionable look.

"Aisha did not want to sign the letter. Because it's the same as dropping talaq. But, one day exactly about two months ago, Aisyah heard the words she did not wear from Mas Andro's speech. I was angry that I signed the agreement. My heart is very sick and I feel that divorce is the only way that we can live happily" Aisyah replied softly.

"Astaghfirullahal'adhim, Aisha! Why do you have the thought of divorcing your husband?" ummi Mirna asked in disappointment and annoyance.

Seen Abah and Papa Sakti glanced at each other. Both felt this could all be a lesson for Andromeda and Aisyah in the future.

Aisyah was crying in Andromeda's arms. He condemned her stupidity and did not want her to lose the man she loved now.

"Abah .. Papa, Andro will say ijab qobul, later in the mosque after finishing performing Isha prayers. So, please bring the pengulu!" andromeda Pinta.

***

After praying Isya Andromeda again said ijab qobul in front of the penghulu and pilgrims that day. For the sake of keeping Aisha his wife, he was not ashamed to repeat the sacred sentence in front of his neighbors, which would definitely be the subject of their conversation.

Unlike the previous time when he said the sacred promise sentence, this time with full awareness of himself and his heart trembled when saying a promise to his God. Andromeda knew that he was in charge of Aisha. Guiding himself to always be on the path that Allah guides. Loving and accepting himself all body and soul. Protecting and providing comfort for him. The man will do his best to make his wife and child happy.

Aisyah looked at Andromeda with sparkling eyes and a smile expanding from happiness. She kissed her husband's hand with reverence. Praying every prayer that her husband said.

"Aisha, I love you because of Allah. Be my soul mate until death do us part" whispered Andromeda and assented by the woman.

Aisha's heart trembled upon hearing Andromeda's confession just now. She will also repay her husband's love by devoting herself and accompanying him to their death.

"I also love you because of God" said Ayesha somehow for how many times.

"From now on we begin everything by saying bismillah so that all we do is get merit, blessings, and gifts from God" Aisha and Andromeda nodded their heads.

It was a clear night as the sky was currently scattered with millions of stars slapping out. The feeling of Aisyah and Andromeda.

'Allah blesses our family and guides us to always be on the right path with those who surrender to You.' (Aisha & Andromeda)

Will the household life of Aisyah and Andromeda go smoothly this time? Or will there be a big obstacle that threatens their happiness? Wait for it to go, yeah!
