Tough Widow
Sib

Almost a few minutes Elisha and Ayu faced each other. Now not only did Ayu remember that childhood, but Elisha who was only 4 years old vaguely remembered, but he did not really know the figure of the brother who was brought into the car.

Ayu extended her hand first the introduction.

"Introduce my name Ayu Lestari," he said by name. Elisha received the hand and said his name.  

"Rulisa." There was a strange vibration as they touched, the stinging electric tub made the two freeze. Ayu let go of her hand and sat back down. Now he can not focus on what was planned with Angga, but he continues to remember his childhood and the people who have been bad and good around him.

It was as if the images of them crossing his brain that sometimes upset Ayu.

"You're not papa, are you?" Angga's voice shocked Ayu who was immersed in a pseudo daydream. A reality that has been passed, but the wound remains in the heart even at any time will never be forgotten. 

"Talk this to my future wife" Angga bravely embraced Ayu's dazed shoulders.

"I know," answered Elisha, taking off his hand and putting it on the table.

"Where from?" ask Angga cynically.  

"Yesterday, my brother told me the same story about Surya."

Ayu's heart was pounding as she heard a familiar name.

"Om Solar?" Ayu repeated the name Elisha said with trembling lips.

"Yes, Brother. So yesterday brother Angga the same story about Surya if he already has a future wife. They are beautiful, hijab. Anyway the characteristics are like, Brother. I didn't guess wrong, did I?'' 

Elisha laughed a little. Only the first time he had agreed that Angga married Ayu, whether he did not care. The important thing in Elisha's eyes is that they are very compatible.  

"Are you referring to Surya by her husband, Aunt Siwi?" tanya Ayu made sure.

"Aren't you familiar with Surya? Yes, she's Surya's husband aunty Siwi." Elise explained.

"What's your name Elisa Ningrum?" ask Ayu again.

again Elisha nodded quickly, he still did not catch who the figure in front of him was, however, from the way of saying the name seems that the woman is not a stranger because only some people know the full name of Elisha.

"What about Om Abian and Aunt Rengganis?"

 Elisha nodded again. Her tears dripped down her cheeks as she heard the names of her two parents being called.

.

"You're my sister.'' Ayu followed the tears, hugging Elisha. Although the girl still seems confused, she is convinced that Elisha is her separate brother.

It turns out that Elisha who is meant by Angga is the same person, the woman who is currently in his arms.  

"Actually Whose brother?" elisha asked without letting go of his embrace. He found a warmth again that he had often obtained, maybe at that time he did not understand a great affection. However, the feeling will never disappear even though time continues to pass.

Ayu could not speak anymore. If the answer from Elisha was no, then his family was completely cut off from the extended family. 

Elisha was silent to remember the words of Surya and Aunt Siwi also from his mother and father first. They never talked about their brother, Ayu Lestari. They also never said that name, even from the family members who remained in the ledger there was no Ayu Lestari name. For Elisha knew his whole family even to the great-grandson and all.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'll answer honestly."

"Yes, I want you to be honest." The atmosphere looks heartwarming. Miss Winda who was outside the dining room just stared at them expressionlessly, while Angga digested every word that slid from the lips of Elisha and Ayu.

"Sister's name isn't in the ledger. What's the name of the old man, brother?"

"The father and the father are called Haidar."

Elisha remembered again, who knows forget. He would ask again that the name existed.

"Nothing, Brother. I don't see that name.'' 

O Allah, they hated my parents so much that his name was not recorded in the descendants of the family.

Ayu's heart felt sick. In fact, he himself was unable to swallow all the immense disappointment. He thought that even though he was not recorded, his parents were in the family, but the reality was even more bitter than bile.

"What about the family there? Are your mom and dad healthy?" ask Ayu who forgot Angga for a moment.

"Mama and Papa are dead. I live with Surya and Aunt Siwi. Besides them, they all live abroad. There were some distant relatives who lived in the house. I don't know much about family. I just saw them at the meeting. Where does my brother live now? I heard from Angga Kak Kak has 3 children?" 

Ayu tried to smile, but her heart still hurt with reality. She should still share her happiness with others including her sister.

"My house is not far from here. If you want, stop by.'' Elisha rubbed Ayu's cheeks filled with tears and hugged her again.

"Actually they were not fully acquainted, but Elisha was sure that the woman was really his sister.

"Didn't you want to meet Surya?" 

Ayu shook her head, but that was not her heart. He wanted to hug, but his courage was very small. Fear of rejection like that.

Miss Winda approached, she did not know what to talk to Ayu. He knew a little about the problems that befell the great family of Elisha, but did not go too deep because they were a little distant family. 

"It turns out that the Elisha you call is my sister is also Mas, now I have a family Although far away at least there are people closest to me.

Angga smiled happily. It turns out that the presence of Elisha is one of the keys to the happiness of Ayu, even the look on the face of the woman is very different from before.

 "Now you can freely meet Elisha, but remember don't forget me because I'm the one who stays with number one." Ayu could only nod at Angga's request.

Until whenever you are the best. Not just for me, but for the kids. Always healthy, my dear Angga.

Ayu's determination is getting round and will fight for her love, although it is unlikely to be accepted, but she will still try.
