The Secret Admirer of Pesantren
Disillusioned

That afternoon Mama Ratih and Azizah were sitting on the front porch of her house.

"Oh yes dear Mama forgot, want to tell you. After Maghrib Mama will take you to Sonya's 7th monthly event. He asked you to come, baby. Later tell Al, let him follow directly there huh. " Said Mama Ratih.

"Yes Ma.. " Azizah also forgot that she also had an appointment with Al.

"Honey come in, it's almost maghrib. Don't forget to prepare. Mama wait. " Mama entered, and Azizah followed her father-in-law.

As he was about to call Al, he remembered Al's remark this morning .

"Yes, I'm the same as Al promised to come out. How's this.. ? " Surmured himself.

Then he picked up the phone on the nightstand and called Al.

"Assalamualaikum.. "

"Wa'alaikum greetings dear.. What's up..? " Tanya Al from there.

"Mas, I want to say something to Mas Al.. "

"Dear dear, why not later. After this I go home you're ready. "

.

"tu, wait a minute. "

"Yes yes .. What..? "

"Today we can't have dinner outside Mas.. " Azizah hesitantly said it.

"Lohs. Why is..? " Tanya Al was astonished.

"Barusan Mama said. After praying maghrib would take me to Sonya's feet. Sonya's sister wants to celebrate 7 months for her pregnancy. Where can Azizah refuse Mama's invitation. Moreover, it's an important event Sonya. " Azizah tried to explain to Al.

"Eum.. Yes it is dear. Don't worry. No papa, we'll have dinner outside tomorrow. You will come with Mama. I will also go there. " Al sounded relaxed and not angry. Instantly relieved it felt Azizah.

The shadow of her husband will be cranky and indifferent. Apparently not, instead Al will follow him there.

After the maghrib prayer, Azizah changed her robe with a headscarf that matched the color . He was not used to rubbing his face. She used to appear in public without makeup. However it all did not detract from the natural beautiful impression, which emanated from her graceful face.

He approached Mama Ratih who was waiting for him in the living room.

Papa has also come home and will come to Sonya's place.

"Pa Al hasn't come home yet ? " Sounds Mama Ratih's voice, asking her son.

"Yes Ma.. There are so many tasks he has to complete. But maybe even go home again " Said Papa Jaya, when he saw Azizah approaching towards them.

"Have you permission for your husband, honey,? " Task Mama Ratih.

"Already Ma.. Mas Al will also be there. "

"Then . let's go. " Take Papa Jaya.

Azizah walked behind her two in-laws.

After arriving at Sonya's house. It seems that the atmosphere is crowded, a lot of families who come to celebrate Sonya's happy day.

"Honey.... " Sapa Mama Ratih saw Sonya sitting on the sofa that had been prepared for her. Then Sonya stood up and hugged her Mom. I also hugged Azizah.

" Al is not coming..? " Task Sonya as her netron wobbles to look for her sister.

"Later after returning from the office, Mas Al nyulus Kak... " Answer Azizah.

"Where is your pregnancy condition. " Mama while stroking Sonya's stomach which has begun to appear bloated.

"Alhamdulillah Ma's.. The more active the dedek in my stomach. And I'm getting healthier, too, Ma.. " Answer answered Sonya happily.

"Alhamdulillah Darling. "

But on the other side of Sonya's happiness, there was sadness in Azizah's heart. However, he tried his best to eliminate his sadness.

Until the show is over Al also never come.

"Al don't look like a baby yet. Try the phone. " Mama Ratih said to Azizah who was sitting next to her.

"Yes Ma.. Azizah come out first. "

"Yes Dear . "

Azizah went out to contact Al.

But also not lifted. Then he tried to send WhatsApp Chat, who knows later in reply. Because maybe Al's still on the road.

A few minutes later, Al typed something into his WhatsApp.

"Sorry Honey. Say the same brother. I can't go there. You go home with Mama. I'm a lot of work and tired. "

Al's reply, slightly disappointed Azizah's heart. He simply replied to Al's short message and went back inside.

"Where to Honey. Is Al on the road yet.? " Task Mama Ratih as Azizah sits next to her again.

"Mas Al didn't come here Ma. He said there was a lot of work . "

"Oh.. Yes, no papa. Kasian is also your husband. Later even soy sauce. " Answer Mama Ratih.

After all the events were over, it was already half 9 p.m. Papa, Mama and Azizah went home.

"Take care of yourself, dear. If there is anything or there begins to be pain. Call Mama, dear. " Mama said as she stroked her daughter's stomach.

"Yes Ma.. Later that weekend Sonya stay there Ma.. " Say her greeting and hugging her Mama.

"Yes Dear. "

"Sister.. " Sapa Azizah. Sonya hugged him.

"Sorry, brother. Al is not here. " Slowly slow.

"Yes, no papa. Don't worry about it . " Sonya said with a smile.

"We're home, baby.. "

"Yes Ma.. Careful though... "

"Assynolajet.. "

Salam wa'alaikum..

Sonya looks to wave her hand.

The car disappears from Sonya's sight.

An hour later, the car finally entered Jaya Pratama's house.

Mama and Azizah got out of the car. Azizah's eyes are trying to get through the car garage. Seen by Azizah Al's car is parked in place.

"Honey, come on in. It's night. " The voice of Mama Ratih, when she saw Azizah speechless in the front yard.

"yes, Ma.. " He ran a little towards his mother.

"Ngapain is there..? " Task Mama Ratih.

"No papa Ma. Azizah just saw Mas Al's car. Apparently already home. " Reply Azizah .

"Eum.. Yes, come in. Mom is tired, baby. Take a break.. " Mama said as she went inside.

Azizah followed her mother in and went straight up the stairs to her room.

But it felt very quiet inside, he opened the door of his room. He opened it and why it was so dark...

"Lohs... Mas... " Azizah tried to touch the wall to turn on the lights.

He was confused when he could not find his place. There was also not a single voice from Al. "Maybe Al has fallen asleep. " The murmur is still in the dark.

"Bus.. . " I tried to call Al back...
