"Abah, Umi, Aisyah pamit" said Aisyah while kissing the hands of Abah and Umi when going out of the living room to the entrance. After they had a chance to talk first, while waiting for the afternoon when it was time for Aisyah to leave for the airport.
"Yes son, you take good care of yourself well, remember Abah's message to remain patient in your marriage trials" Abah said while holding Aisyah's shoulder.
"And you want Sidan" said Abah again and turned to Sidan who also looked at Abah.
"Learn not to repeat your mistakes again, Your wife is the one who will keep you company until death do you part. Treat your wife well be patient if she always makes you angry, and lead her if she makes mistakes sometimes. You're the master of control in your household ark. If you can't control where the ark will sail, then you'll be tossed about not knowing where to dock, and will even destroy your own ark, because you're not ready to face the waves of trouble that hit your household's ark"
"And you're Ayesha, do your duty as a wife would. Be patient in the face of all the tests that hit your household. You two should take care of each other and work together in strengthening the foundation of your household. So it is not easy to collapse when the storm of trouble hit. Stick to the teachings of our religion, if you do and practice what has been taught, then God willing your household will get His blessings and mercy"
Aisha then fell into Abah's embrace, while Umi, Tiana and Larisa who saw Aisha were also moved to hear what Abah said. Stirring against them all until they unconsciously shed tears.
Tiana then rubbed the back of Aisha who was crying in Abah's arms, Aisyah felt very grateful for being reunited with good people like the Tiana family.
"Thank you Abah for letting me stay for a few days in this house" Aisyah said, wiping away her tears.
"Don't thank me son, if you want to stay longer or stay here forever, of course Abah will also feel very happy. Abah's house becomes crowded if there are you" Abah said releasing Aisyah's embrace then holding both shoulders, speaking while looking at Aisyah's face with a smile.
"Yes Abah" Aisyah replied while nodding her head.
"I'll miss you all" said Aisyah again as she pleased. Then turn to Umi who now also cries because she feels the sadness that Aisyah feels.
"Umi" said Aisyah then hugged Umi while crying, Sidan who saw her Wife kept crying approached her while stroking softly Aisyah's back.
Umi then held Sidan's hand, making Sidan turn to look at Umi who was also crying while hugging Aisyah. Umi's eyes glared at Sidan's face looking at her.
"Please promise, son, you'll treat your wife well. Do not hurt her heart, Umi please happy your wife and never do anything rude to her again" said Umi then held Sidan's face.
Sidan then holds Umi's hand and kisses her with reverence, then smiles at Umi who looks nanar at her.
Sidan then releases Umi's hand. "God willing, I promise I will treat Aisha well. And I also promise to take care of Aisha with all this body and soul" said Sidan, making Abah who heard Sidan's words smile while patting her shoulder.
"Thank you Abah, although it's very short my time here but I learned a lot. Thank you also for awakening me for all my mistakes to Aisha. I regret Abah, may my sins be forgiven by Him" Sidan said with a sorry expression now seen on her face.
"Thank God son if you're all aware now
your fault, repent earnestly and try not to repeat it again. God willing your repentance will be accepted, for He is merciful, forgiving"
"Go away son, make this matter a lesson. I hope you can be a better person. And make this a good start for you two to repair your household" said Abah who is now right in front of Aisyah and Sidan.
"Go son, Abah pray that you will be a family that is sadinah mawaddah warahmah. Always remember Abah's message"
They all then walked to take the departure of Aisyah and Sidan until in front of the pesantren gate.
Abah and Umi looked at the departure of Larisa's car until it was lost and no longer seen when turning in front of the pesantren gate
"Looking at them, Abah remembers when we were young" Abah told Umi, who was standing right next to him.
"May our children always be protected by Him, and may they always be happy. That's all you'd expect" Abah said, embracing Umi's shoulder.
"Yes Abah Umi also hopes like that, hopefully they can continue to maintain their household, and can go through all the trials"
"Aamiin" replied Abah and Umi simultaneously.

The four of them Tiana, Larisa, Aisyah, and Sidan were now in the car. Sidan was sitting right next to the driver, while Tiana, Larisa, and Aisyah were sitting at the back.
They continued to smile at each other because they were happy to take Aisyah's departure back to the country where Aisyah lived with her husband.
"I hope you can visit my house later" Aisyah said.
"Of course, Aisyah, if there is time we will visit" Tiana said, turning to Aisyah because Tiana was sitting flanked by Larisa and Aisyah.
"True Aisyah, I would also like to visit your country of residence. I want to see the Pyramids of Giza as your country's icon. I saw on television one of the Indian artists filming in the pyramid, making me want to set foot there too" Larisa said with a sparkling expression on her face. Given the beauty of the Pyramids of Giza in the country where Aisyah lived.
"There are still many more beautiful tourist destinations besides the Pyramids of Giza Aisyah. If you go there, I'll take you to the Nile, Karnak, Hurghada, and Alexandria"
"Alexandria is not one of the second largest cities in your country right? there are historical relics of the Roman kingdom so many used as tourist destinations, but I forgot what the name of the kingdom" said Larisa while thinking.
"I also forgot what the name of the kingdom was, I went there only once" said Aisyah and replied with a nod of the head by Larisa.
"I heard from Abah, you will be betrothed to one of the teachers in Abahmu Tiana boarding school" said Aisyah now turned to Tiana and the expression on Tiana's face turned tense, because I didn't think that was what Aisyah would talk about.
"Yes right" Tiana replied.
"Why are you so unhappy with this match?" Aisyah asked while Larisa just silently listened to the conversation between Tiana and Aisyah.
Tiana sighed softly. "I'm not unhappy" Tiana said briefly.
"I just remember my match that was once canceled" Tiana continued, then turned to Larisa. "I believe I speak like this does not mean to offend you, I only say what concerns me" Tiana said while holding Larisa's hand.
Larisa smiled hearing Tiana's words. "Yes my sister I know" said Larisa replying to Tiana's handrails. Larisa also felt that Tiana said like that never wanted to offend her feelings at all. Although it is undeniable that Tiana's marriage was canceled because of her.
"So you're going to accept Azam's ustad?" Aisyah asked again to make Tiana look back at her.
Tiana simply shook her head. Making Aisyah confused by Tiana's behavior.
