The Tears of Ayanda
chapter 96. The departure of Ayanda

From behind the door of the room, Gio Hears Echa's words that make him more guilty. If he wanted to talk about all this to Ayanda, maybe none of this would happen. The sobs of Echa made his heart ache.

"I'm sorry, Papa, honey. It's all Papa's fault" he murmured.

With a very grim face Gio descended to the bottom floor. There was still his father with a face full of wrath. Now Gio can only resign, because he admits this is his biggest mistake.

"If you can't find Ayanda, don't camp ...."

"Dad," call someone at the door.

Genta and Gio immediately looked at the origin of the voice, Gio immediately rushed to embrace Ayanda. There was no rejection or reply from Ayanda. He just fell silent.

"I'm sorry" he said, filled with regret.

"Echa is worried about you, son. Meet him," father asked.

Like a breath of fresh air, his father freed himself from Gio's embrace and rushed up to Echa in his room. His heart ached when sobs were heard. Ayanda immediately ran over and hugged Echa's trembling body.

"I'm sorry, Mom," he said.

Echa further tightened his embrace to Ayanda, as if he did not want to be separated from his Mom.

"Are you okay?" ask Echa after letting go of her embrace.

"I'm not fine, but I should be fine," With a bitter smile on his face.

"I'm proud of you, Mah" he said.

Ayanda just smiled hearing the words of this child.

In the living room Genta's sharp gaze was fixed on Giondra. "talk to Ayanda. May he forgive your stupidity" said his father.

Gio was like a child, who had to follow all his father's orders along with his punishment.

In front of Echa's room, he saw Ayanda hugging her daughter's body tightly with a sad face. He closed his eyes for a moment and regulated his breathing.

"Honey, we can talk for a minute" he asked Ayanda.

Echa only glanced at her papa at a glance with a disappointed look. While Ayanda nodded slowly, granting Gio's request.

"Darling, I'm sorry," Gio regretted, when they had reached the back garden.

"If you still have doubts about your heart, there is still time to cancel it," Ayanda replied with a faint smile.

Deg, man,

Gio's heart instantly stopped beating. What he felt was known to his future wife.

"I just don't want to build a household in doubt" she continued.

Gio just fell silent not answering anything Ayanda said.

"Create your heart first. If you have any doubts, I'll back off."

"When I love you, you doubt your heart. Funny yes," she said with a small laugh.

"I just don't want to fail anymore to build a household. Pretty much in my life I know and feel the failure of the household" said Ayanda.

Ayanda took a breath and threw it away. It was as if he was talking alone. Gio's mouth refused to answer Ayanda's words. He smiled faintly, Gio's silence made him even more certain.

"I won't force you when you doubt I'll stay out of your life as far as possible" he said.

Tub struck by lightning in broad daylight. Ayanda's last words were able to tear her heart apart,

"I'm sorry" he said as he looked at Ayanda's face.

"If you still have doubts, speak up. At least I know your heart," he replied and passed away leaving Gio.

Only the tightness that Ayanda now felt. By looking at Gio's face, she was very sure if there was any doubt in the heart of her future husband.

At midnight, when the people were asleep Ayanda and Echa were packing.

"Mah ...."

"This is that what if we do" Ayanda answered.

Echa looked at the mama with a sad look. He hugged Ayanda's body tightly.

"Happy Mamah is with you" she replied with a smile.

"It's over?" genta asked the two women who were hugging.

"That's it, Dad," Ayanda replied.

After meeting Gio, Ayanda immediately met her father. He asked permission to take his life back. Gio's hesitation took him backwards. Let his love and affection be alone. The sincerity that Ayanda wanted, was not a doubt. Genta understood his daughter's feelings. He was not forced, because Ayanda had trauma in the household. Moreover, Gio's attitude now is just like a loser. Just spirit in front but saggy in back.

When their taxi order arrived, Ayanda and Echa said goodbye to Genta. They hugged the bodies of his father and grandfather.

"Take care of yourself" he exclaimed.

Ayanda and Echa just nodded their heads, then left in their ordered taxi.

"This is the lesson for you Giondra, the love you have been chasing so desperately now you doubt. Let your daughter and granddaughter live happily" he murmured.

Now, the house that doubled from the ball field feels lonely. It was like an empty, uninhabited house.

The next morning, Gio is determined to meet Ayanda to express his beliefs. Last night he refused to be closed in thinking about every word from Ayanda. Such great affection and love was able to convince his heart again.

Gio knocked on Ayanda's door many times. There is no answer from within. With a slightly frightened heart, he opened the door of Ayanda's room and entered without permission first.

"Darling," called him.

There is absolutely no answer. Her steps came to a halt when she saw the phone and the ring on the dresser.

"This ...."

Her eyes were sharp when she got her engagement ring with Ayanda with a piece of paper underneath.

Sorry, I left without saying goodbye.

I know you still have doubts, so convince your heart first. If you are still unsure, forget about our relationship. Be happy with a woman who can convince your heart.

I loose your bond, for tying with doubt is only capable of hurting my heart. Thank you for this one year with all my sadness. Thank you for giving me such a heartfelt love that I started loving you.

I'm sorry if I'm selfish, but I don't want to fail a second time. I'm sure of you, but you doubt your heart,,

I can what?

This is the best path for me and you. I'll be happy with my daughter and you'll probably be happy with another woman.

If one day we meet again still in our own circumstances, maybe we are destined to be together. If not, you and I are not a match.

Forgive my selfishness. All this I did because I did not want to feel pain for the umpteenth time.

I'm saying goodbye, though,

I love you, Giondra.

A tear now soaked the paper he held. Pain and destruction Giondra felt. Doubt of his heart was able to make Ayanda retreat.

"Dad!" his yell.

Many times he called his father but there was no word. He rushed to his father's office. Genta was sitting leaning against his great chair.

"Dad, where's Ayanda?" gio asked with a fucked up face.

"You still care? Not that you doubt it," he sneered.

Gio just bowed to hear the words from his father.

"You who stubbornly pursued Ayanda for almost ten years, but now easily doubt your heart to her. What kind of man are you?"

"Don't bother them, let them be happy. Without you and also Rion" he said in a high tone.

His father's words further made Gio bow in. Reflecting on her stupidity instigated by the words of her ex-boyfriend. His heart was determined to look for Ayanda everywhere. He will fight for his love.
