Aini's Heart Journey

Aini's lover

The sun is rising and moving west. The warm rays, slowly replaced by the hot heat that is quite anticipated by many people.

This afternoon, a week had Adit, Ratri and Oliv disappeared without news. Police have not yet found their whereabouts.

Ratri's parents who are still in Surabaya, obviously can not calm down to think about the fate of the single daughter and their daughter-in-law. Moreover, their granddaughter had a fever since two days ago, because she was looking for her parents.

"Did Adit really have no enemies, Miss Harti?" Heni asked, as he accompanied his granddaughter to play.

"To my knowledge, not Mrs Heni." Honest Suharti.

"But this is unnatural. Why did they suddenly disappear?" Timpal Arif is curious.

"Yes, Pa. Even the police haven't found them yet." Sahut Heni agrees.

Suharti. He was reminded of his former son-in-law whom he clearly regarded as an enemy.

"Actually, there are those who don't like my son." Suharti hesitated.

"Who is he, Miss Harti? We can tell the police to investigate." Ask Arif immediately.

Suharti was clearly sumringah as Arif said that. Because later, Aini can be used as a scapegoat for the loss of Adit and Ratri at this time. That was Suharti's thought.

"But I hope Mr. Arif and Mr. Heni are not angry." Said Suharti carefully.

"Why should we be angry?" Heni asked confusedly.

Suharti pretended to look shy and hesitated to say the name he hated so much. Demi can convince Arif and Heni to trust her.

"Who is he, Miss Harti?" Ask Arif impatiently.

"She, Aini, Umar's birth mother." Suharti said slowly.

"You don't joke, Miss Harti!" Enraged Heni.

"Why am I kidding, Mrs Heni? In fact, he was desperate to take Umar from his father." Bela Suharti's.

"Captured? What do you mean?" Tanya Arif was confused.

"He hired a reliable lawyer to take custody of Umar from his father. And what I heard from my son, Aini sold her body to pay the lawyer." Obviously Suharti was excited.

"Don't just talk to you, Miss Harti! Aini can't do such a thing." Bela Heni did not accept, because he knew Aini as well as what.

Arif was also very upset to hear Suharti's words. But, he remembered something. Then he took his phone.

While Heni, chose not to respond to Suharti anymore. He was still inexhaustible, how could Suharti still hate Aini until now.

"Why can't I be contacted?" Arif muttered, after several times calling someone, but could not.

"Why, Pa?" Heni asked curiously.

"Here, Ma. Cannot be contacted. Who knows, Ratri called him." Arif said while putting down his phone.

"necessarily too. Or try, call Ratna! Who knows, Aini changed her number. Just ask Ratna!" Heni sumringah.

"It's true, Ma. Why don't you think about yesterday, anyway?"

Arif took his phone back. He immediately searched Ratna's contact number and contacted her immediately.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ratna." Friendly Arif.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Mr. Arif."

"How are you, Na?"

"Thank God be good, sir."

"Na, did Aini change her number? Why can't his old number be reached?"

No response from the end of the phone.

"This phone is missing, sir. So, the number's gone too."

"Astaghfirullah's. Since when?"

"About two weeks ago."

"May I have a new number?"

"Sorry, Sir. I don't know his new number either. Because he just bought a cell phone and a new number by his girlfriend."

"Oh, that's how it looks." Arif's face really looks sumringah heard Ratna's words.

"Yes, sir."

"Is he still in Surabaya? You know the address where Aini works at the moment?"

"It's not working right now, sir. He's being treated in the hospital."

".. Ma'am, don't tell me!" Aini's voice was heard on the other end of the phone.

"It's hospitalized? Are you with him?" Ask Arif worriedly.

Heni, who heard her husband's words, was also anxious, though he did not know what was really going on. Suharti, was clearly happy in her heart when she heard Aini was hospitalized.

"Yes, sir."

"Any hospital? Heni and I are in Surabaya right now. Please give us the hospital address! We'd like to see Aini."

"I'll send you the address with the room later."

"alright. But, why was Aini hospitalized? What's he sick of?"

And again. There was no response from the other end of the phone for a while.

"Sorry, Mr. Arif. I can't say it over the phone. To be sure, Aini's condition is not good at the moment."

"alright. Please immediately send us the hospital address and in the room where Aini is currently being treated!"

"Good, sir."

"Thank you, Na."

"Together, sir."

The call was immediately ended by Arif. "Come on Ma, we're getting ready for the hospital! We have to look at Aini's condition."

"Yes, Pa." Answer Heni spirit.

"Sorry, Miss Harti! We'll go to see Aini's condition first. We'll also find out, it's possible that Ratri contacted Aini or Ratna yesterday." Pamit Arif soon.

"Please, Sir!" Brief Suharti.

While in the hospital, Aini is alone with Ratna. Ardi had to go to the office earlier, because there were some things that he had to finish, but certainly after the police officers finished asking Aini for information.

"Why did you tell Mr. Arif that I was in the hospital?" Annoyed Aini.

"Trus Mbak should say what? Mr. Arif nanyain your place of work. Besides, you don't work now, do you?" Sahut Ratna.

"Say, I'm going back to Semarang or something. Can you, Mommy?"

"What's the matter, anyway?"

"If they come, and all this, what about Ma'am?"

"Say, tell me the truth."

"What is it, Ma'am?"

"Why indeed? That's the truth, right?"

"Yes, Mother. But,,"

"But what? Later they will also know the truth, if the police have found evidence and even witnesses who will corroborate all your statements earlier. Remember, there are Ardi's men ready to be witnesses for you." Reply Ratna sure.

Aini silently did not answer. He was confused to refute Ratna's words that were true.

"Oh yes, Ni. By the way, you don't know your new number yet lhooo," Goda Ratna.

Aini's memory immediately floated when Ratna received a call from Arif earlier. Ratna mentioned that she had just bought a new phone by her lover. (On inget dong, who bought Aini mobile phone? 🤭)

"I don't know the number either, Ma'am." Answer Aini shame.

"No, don't you want to tell me the story? Just Ardi's sir, who knows?" Temptation Ratna again.

"What the hell, anyway? I really don't know, Ma'am, what number. Ardi didn't tell you yesterday." Honestly Aini, with a spoiled tone.

"Yes, here borrow your phone!" Pinta Ratna relax.

Aini also gave her phone to Ratna. And not Ratna, if it doesn't insult or tempt her sister.

"There's only one contact, Ni? Whose number is this, Ni? His name is, my future husband?" Toda Ratna is excited.

"I'm not the mother who gave me the name. That's Ardi's mas who gave me the name." Honest Aini while being shy.

"Oh, this is Ardi's number." Sahut Ratna with a mocking smile was happy.

"Bak what, anyway?" Rajuk Aini's.

Aini was really embarrassed to be caught storing Ardi's contact number under the name 'My Husband Candidate'. Yes though, it was Ardi who kept the name himself on Aini's new phone.

Ratna smiled amusedly at Aini's misbehavior. But in his little heart he was happy, because his only sister was happy with his choice.

Thirty minutes later, Aini's outpatient room door was opened by someone slowly. Aini and Ratna immediately turned their attention towards the door. A familiar man appears in the memories of Ratna and Aini.

"Sir Arif? Come sir, please come in!" Sapa Ratna friendly.

"Yes, Ma." Said Arif, looking at Heni who was behind him.

"Yes, Sir. Aini's been treated here." Sahut Ratna's.

Arif and Heni come in. They were obviously very surprised to see Aini lying on top of the hospital bed with some injuries on her face and back. They did not even say hello or ask Ratna first so surprised.

"What's wrong with you, Ni?" Ask Heni immediately.

"Just hurt a little, Ma." Lying Aini.

"Did your employer torture you?" Ask Arif for attention.

"No, Pa. They're good to me." Honestly Aini, while remembering the Goddess and Galih.

"Then, why are you hurt like this? Have you reported the police? It's an act of violence and persecution. The culprit should be severely punished, Ni." Answer Galih did not accept with Aini condition.

"It has. Aini's lover has taken care of everything for Aini." Sahut Ratna suddenly.

"Oh, so. I'm happy, Ni." Answer Heni relieved.

Heni had heard from Arif, about Aini who already had a new lover and attention to him, according to Ratna's short story earlier.

"Back!" Rajuk Aini's.

"Why?" Sahut Ratna relax.

"No papa, Ni. We're so happy that you've met someone who can make you happy." Heni said understand.

"Tuh, heni ma'am!" Sindir Ratna withholds laughter.

Aini's face clearly immediately turned red. He is really still embarrassed, if it is said to be a lover of Ardiansyah El Baraja. Although, that's exactly how it is.

Suddenly, Aini's nursing room door slod was re-opened from the outside. And,,

"Assalamu'alaikum Say, oh, there's a guest apparently."

Who else, if not the patient's lover, Ardi.

Everyone turned to the source of the sound. Aini immediately closed her net. He was really embarrassed, because Ardi entered casually and called him with a loving call, even though there were Arif and Heni there.

Ardi walked leisurely towards Aini and the others. He greeted the two guests in the room. Then it immediately moved to the other side of Aini, where Ratna was standing.

"Who are they, honey?" Ask Ardi casually.

Arif and Heni immediately understood, if the one who had just come was Aini's lover. They were quite surprised, because Aini's lover looked so handsome and well established. In fact, when compared to Adit, they look very much different.

Aini was still embarrassed when Ardi again called her dear in front of Arif and Heni. But, he could not ignore Ardi's question just like that.

"They, the parents of Ratri's mother, Mas." Honest Aini.

"Mother Ratri's parents? I mean, the in-laws of Mr Adit?" Ask Ardi to clarify.

"Yes. We're Ratri's parents. I'm Arif, and this is my wife, Heni." Arif replied, reaching out to introduce himself.

Ardi looked at Aini for a moment. Aini who understood Ardi's confused look, just nodded at Ardi. Ardi then welcomed Arif's hand.

"I'm Ardi. Ardiansyah El Baraja." Reply Ardi with great emphasis.

Arif tried to remember that name. A name that was a little familiar to him.

"You?" Said Arif, releasing his hand link with Ardi.

"Yes. I'm under suspicion by your besan, for the disappearance of your daughter and daughter-in-law, a week ago." Reply Ardi sure.
