The Neglected Angel
Chapter 64. The departure of Zahra

Chapter 64

"What's up, Star?" ask Cantika.

Aisyah was holding Malika who was crying loudly like a frightened person. He stared at Wulan wanting to know what had happened.

"Who is that woman? He stared at Om Ghaza and tried to tease him. The stars don't like it! Om Ghaza belongs to the Stars!" The young boy, who was about to become a teenager, was angry as he hugged Ghazali's body.

Aisyah was stunned to hear the words from her husband's nephew. Then, he looked back at Wulan who was now looking down.

When Cantika and Ghazali calmed the Stars, Aisyah took Wulan to her room. She'll give Malika milk.

"Wulan, are you flirting with Ghaza?" asked Aisyah while breastfeeding Malika who was willing to shut up.

The girl just shut up and looked down. I want to say no, but that's the truth. Wulan falls in love at first sight to Ghazali. The American-Indonesian youth who had bright blue eyes and a face that looked above average, made his heart shake every look even remember him.

"So, I saw the Star kissing Mr. Ghazali, and I rebuked. The child did not accept it and was angry," Wulan replied nervously

"Astaghfirullahal. O Allah, do not let the Beautiful like nyosor like his brother," muttered Aisha afraid that her son will be like a Star. Moreover, Andromeda also likes nyosor first and does not know the place.

"Yes, you must keep your distance from Ghazali. He already had a lover, from the rich, the elite. You don't have to deal with them" continued Aisyah.

Wulan's body suddenly shook in fear. He never imagined that liking someone would be fatal if the wrong target.

"Good, Mom. I will keep my distance from them. At first I was very surprised when many handsome men were here. I guess they don't have a partner. Moreover, I have seen several times Bintang and Ghazali embrace and kiss," I Wulan while rubbing her neck and neck.

"I'm the same as you, initially shocked to see their behavior. If you are looking for a man who can be made a husband, I have many acquaintances and close friends. They were fine people, pretty faces though distant with Ghazali. If the wealth, it will be a lot or a little that is important halal and blessings," said Aisyah as she put Malika on the bed and surrounded the baby with bolsters.

Wulan could not agree or refuse, because he did not know what kind of man his employer would introduce. However, if the friend of Aisyah, this woman is sure that the person who will be introduced must have a good nature.

"Where? You just have to look at their social media accounts first, who knows there is your soul mate there," continued Aisyah who is now standing in front of Wulan.

"Bo–leh, Ma'am," Wulan replied with a shy smile.

Today everyone gathered in Zahra's room. Fatih cried while hugging the wife who had not moved. The sun sits beside him. The man represents the woman he loves to apologize for his past mistakes. After everyone said they had forgiven Zahra's past caliphs and wrongs, the woman breathed her last in her husband's arms with words of congratulations at the end of her life. [The full story in the novel "Forced to Marry the Grandson of an Ex-Husband" was quite tear-draining when creating that chapter]

Sobs instantly filled the luxurious room. Aisyah was so shaken that she fell unconscious. Andromeda, who had been embracing his wife's shoulder from the beginning, could hold her body and not fall to kiss the floor.

Fortunately, Ghazali was a doctor. She quickly dealt with Aisyah who was pregnant young. Currently, the condition of pregnant women is still very vulnerable to miscarriage. Andromeda was always faithful to be by his side. Even the tears came out from the corner of his net.

"Ghaza, my wife is okay, isn't she?" ask Andromeda who is now rubbing Aisyah's cheek.

One month after Zahra's death, a look of sadness still appeared on Aisha's face. He felt something was missing in him. No more brother would listen to her complains. No more brother would advise himself with wise words. There was no longer a brother who happily indulged himself. Although married, this woman still likes to ask her brother for something.

"Darling, you eat first, yeah! Poor baby in your stomach. He also needs the best nutrition and food for fetal development" Andromeda said, gently stroking his wife's back.

"I want to go on vacation, Mas. Brother Zahra wants to go around Europe and has not been done. I want to make that dream come true" said Aisyah who recalled their last conversation at the villa. 

"Come, we're going on vacation! It is spring in the area. But, we will leave if your condition is convincing to be invited to travel. I don't want to take any chances" Andromeda said softly. She often treated Aisha like a queen. This made Aisha unable to reject every word, word, invitation, and prohibition from her husband.

When the day was sunny, Aisyah took Wulan and Malika for a walk to the city park. After Andromeda's departure to the office, they went among the drivers who were always ready to take Aisyah away whenever and wherever her employer wanted.

"Be careful, honey!" Aisyah smiled gently looking at Malika who was laughing and walking even though she could not stand up yet.

Malika who was learning to stand was not patient to want to run on that grassy ground. While Malika was learning to walk with Wulan, Aisyah sat on a chair that was in the shade of the tree shadow.

"Aisha," called someone and succeeded in making the woman surprised.

"Awl?" Aisyah did not expect to meet this friend.

"Assalamualaikum, may you always be in good shape" Aziz said with a big smile.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh. Aamiin yaa rabbal aalamin. May you also always be in good condition" Aisyah replied.

Since graduation, the two have never met again. Aziz saw Aisyah as more mature and beautiful, while the young man looked more dignified and charismatic.

Aziz later learned that Aisha was married to Andromeda. With his heart broken, he decided to go back to his hometown and work anything there. There are no big companies with small production houses. He taught in elementary and religious schools. In addition to helping to the fields owned by Mr. Kades.

"You try to send a cover letter to the company where my husband works, there might be vacancies there. You can also invite your family if it has been successful later," said Aisyah encouraging this friend.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Andro will run into me again, like before," said the man, laughing.

Will Andromeda give Aziz a job considering that the man once had feelings for Aisha? Will Aisyah realize Zahra's desire to travel around Europe? Wait for it to go, yeah!
