A Hope Above the Wait

2. Expulsions

Time passed by so quickly, Ayan was in Jasmine's house sitting on the sofa in the living room. Moments later, Jasmine came down from her room in a white dress and was very pretty.

Ayan looked cold at the time, seeing that Jasmine, who had just come down from her room, returned to her room and picked up the blanket and clothes that were worn by the Word when she was Jasmine's husband.

When he had brought clothes for Ayan, he came back out of the room and approached Ayan, when he was near Ayan and Ayan saw Jasmine's arrival in a beautiful white dress on her face, Ayan really could not say a word to praise Jasmine's beauty. He really looked at Jasmine's face. Seeing Ayan dumbfounded, Jasmine gave the blanket and clothes to Ayan without saying a word. Ayan who realized that, without even batting an eye once she received the clothes she got from Jasmine. After giving her the clothes and blanket, Jasmine walked away from Ayan to head to the kitchen.

"Thank you" said Ayan to break his daydream. Hearing that remark, Jasmine stopped her steps immediately and for a while she was silent after hearing that remark. He went back to walking after a few moments of silence.

Ayan went to the bathroom to change her clothes.

In the kitchen, Jasmine is making a drink for Ayan, in order to reduce the cold felt by him. Moments later, Ayan is seen coming out of the bathroom wearing clothes worn by the Word. He looks very handsome and looks very handsome.

At the same time, the tea made by Jasmine for Ayan was ready. He also took a tray that was not far from him. Just then Ayan was still standing in front of the door, to wait for Jasmine to see her look after she put on the clothes she got from Jasmine.

At that time Jasmine was still busy with drinks that would be given to Ayan, so she still did not care about Ayan. When the drink is really ready, and will be given to Ayan. He turned around with a tray of food containing two glasses of warm tea for the two of them. When he turned around, he looked surprised to see Ayan. He really could not say a word, his eyes were wide open.

Suddenly a glimpse of the man he had loved in the past reappeared, when he saw Ayan. Realizing that, Jasmine lowered her head and walked towards the sofa in the living room.

Seeing that, Ayan walked slowly closer to Jasmine who was sitting on the sofa as if she did not care about Ayan.

"What do you think?" ayan asked Jasmine who was already in Jasmine's presence. Jasmine who heard the question she immediately put the glass she was holding and she placed it on the table.

"How's what? Everything is just as nothing different" Jasmine replied, then she got up from her seat and tried to avoid Ayan. However, when Jasmine had just stepped foot a few steps. Ayan stops Jasmine by holding one of Jasmine's hands.

"That's not what I mean, what about my look?" ayan asked after he held one of Jasmine's hands.

Hearing the question, Jasmine turned around and looked at Ayan. And slowly, he let go of Ayan's hand which was holding his hand. He then stood before Ayan with a look in Ayan's eyes.

"You want to know, your appearance according to me.... You're like the person I love, you're happy now you know my opinion?" jasmine replied then she turned back, but again Ayan stopped Jasmine but at that time he stopped Jasmine with a remark that made Jasmine always ring all the time.

"If you think I'm a shadow of the person in your life, then it's better." Ayan said nicely and then he stopped talking for a few seconds, he then walked up to Jasmine who was already standing before him. After that he continued "it is better that I drown in the river of tears, you understand."

Hearing that remark, Jasmine recalled about Ijaz committing suicide on her wedding day with the Word by throwing himself into the river.

After remembering that again, Jasmine immediately returned willing to have her eyes glassy with fruit hands that began to tremble indeterminately. With anger and sadness, she pulls Ayan's collar and pulls Ayan close to Jasmine.

"Listen to me, that's enough. It's enough you remind me of the wait in the past. I tried to close it, but why? Why do you always remember me about it?" jasmine replied dejectedly and spoke to Ayan in a high tone.

He then removed Ayan's collar with a slight push to Ayan until Ayan was pushed a few steps from Jasmine's face.

He then turned away from Ayan with an angry and upset face, but he returned to Ayan. When he stood before Ayan, he wiped away the tears that flowed down his cheeks.

"Who are you really? And why are you present in my life with the same face as Ijaz?" jasmine asked with a serious and sad tone that mixed into one. "You are present in my life and come to destroy everything again, are you Ayan or Ijaz? Are you a healer or a traitor?"

Hearing every remark spoken by Jasmine, Ayan looked sad and her eyes looked glassy.

"I want to be a healer, but I'm not the cure of your wounds!" ayan replied dejectedly and he tried to calm Jasmine down, but by then Jasmine had already looked out of control. He seems unable to control his emotions and he drove Ayan from his house in a state when it was still raining outside the house. Ayan who saw Jasmine's attitude like that again, Ayan tried to apologize but what was the power of Jasmine was already quite disappointed with Ayan, he really did not want to open the door for Ayan even though Ayan had banged on asking Jasmine to open the door.

"Jasmine, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry about you. Please, open the door" Ayan said sadly and tearfully at the door. He then tendered his body with tears that kept flowing down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry Jasmine" Ayan said softly and sadly as she sat down at the door, leaning her body against the door. On the other side of the door that Ayan was sanding, Jasmine was also seen crying by leaning against the door.

"Tears are now dripping again, sadness is happening again. My hope is over, now only sorrow for the waiting in the future. I don't know if I can live this life with the meaning of a dream or if I have to stop at the same point as the shadow of a wound that never disappears."

Jasmine said in her heart with tears continuously flowing down her cheeks.

Moments later, Ayan is seen in his house with a wet body and empty eyes. He then knocked on the door of the mansion, not long after a couple of middle-aged lovers came out of the house after hearing someone knock on the door of his house.

At that time in every step taken by Ayan, he always remembered the sadness felt by Jasmine when he reminded about his past.

"What's Ayan?" asked a middle-aged woman after she opened the door to Ayan. However, while Ayan still did not answer the woman's question, he simply walked into her room with empty hopes.

Realizing something is wrong with Ayan, the middle-aged woman chases Ayan and attempts to stop Ayan, but because at that time the middle-aged man who was none other than the merchant realized that there was sadness in Ayan's heart. He stops his wife, so as not to continue chasing Ayan.

Realizing the ban, Ayan's mother stopped her steps sadly seeing Ayan coming to her room daydreaming.

****

Inside her room, with Ayan's still-empty eyes in, Ayan walked slowly to approach the mirror standing firmly before her.

Just then Ayan's tears kept coming down her eyes, scream after shout at her for everything she did. He was very saddened by Jasmine's attitude that drove him away.

Hearing every scream that Ayan made in her room, Ayan's mother who was sad at that time immediately let go of her husband's hand and approached Ayan's room and asked what happened to Ayan.

"Well, what's wrong?" ayan's mother asked by knocking knocking on Ayan's room door, but Ayan still did not respond to her mother.

Seeing that, Ayan's mother kept trying to open the door of her room by moving the door handle, but at that time the door was locked from the inside.

"Ayan, open Ayan. Please, you open the door" said Ayan's mother, banging on the door again to open the door. However, Ayan still did not open the door of his room.

Seeing that, Ayan's father who was silent at that time approached the door of Ayan's room and he did the same thing as his wife did, but Ayan still did not respond. Feelings of sadness, panic and anxiety were immediately felt by Ayan's mother.

Bruu.....

The sound of the door being pushed up was heard in the room, when Ayan's father did break the door open, he did so because he was worried about what was happening inside Ayan's room.

When the door was open, Ayan sat in the corner of the room sadly and his head kept down with tears breaking.

"What's up?" ayan's mother asked after she approached Ayan and gently stroked Ayan's head.

Seeing that, Ayan looked at his mother with tears still flowing.

"I've hurt her mother, I've hurt her heart!" ayan replied with tears.

Hearing that, Ayan's mother hugged Ayan with tears flowing down her cheeks. At that time, he hugged Ayan for a while, not long after he let go of his embrace and held both cheeks Ayan to calm Ayan.

"You didn't hurt anyone Ayan, I'm sure that Jasmine will come back into your life, I'm sure of that," Ayan's mother replied to appease Ayan, so that she wouldn't get sadder.

Hearing that, Ayan nodded his head. However, at that time he still looked sad in front of his two parents.

After hearing the remark, Ayan was invited by his mother to point to the bed so that he went to sleep, but before he told Ayan to sleep. He asked Ayan to change his clothes that were soaked.

A little later, Ayan came out of the bathroom in a drier outfit. He then went to bed and lay on the bed with a sad face. Seeing that, Ayan's mother tried to resign Ayan by stroking her hair strands slowly and lovingly with a mother and child.

When Ayan is asleep, Ayan's father takes his wife out of the room and takes her to the room to talk about Ayan.

Not waiting for long, Ayan's mother and Ayan's father were in his room. At that time they were seen arguing with each other.

"Why did you say that Jasmine will return to Ayan's life? You know, it was impossible for Jasmine, because I knew she only loved the Word. Ayan was just a snatch of people's wives, and he would only always wait for Jasmine's arrival, he would only wait for her presence!" ayan's father said to his wife with a firm tone and a little high-pitched.

"No, Ayan's not a man's wife. Pa, I feel Ayan and Jasmine have had a long bond, especially." replied Ayan's mother then she just kept quiet by looking at her husband.

Hearing that, Ayan's father rushed out of their room, without saying a word to his wife who said it to him.

Seeing the departure of her husband, Ayan's mother's heart was very sad her eyes shed tears, but what a force. It is his son's destiny to live this way, so he must accept it freely and accept the final decision from God on the relationship of their child.
