****************
The sun was so warm this morning. Gently penetrated into everything he wanted. To give his kindness to all he met.
This morning, the atmosphere of Ardi's residence was slightly different. Ardi was a little busy this morning. He must immediately go to the airport to fly with Dika, to attend a demo that will take place tomorrow on the construction land he is handling.
"You're going to Banyuwangi, Di?" Niken asked immediately, as he saw Ardi coming down in a hurry.
"So, Ma. The plane's morning." Reply Ardi sure.
"His mood today?"
"Tomorrow, Ma. But Ardi also had to check several things in Surabaya and Banyuwangi. So Ardi left today with Dika."
"Kenzo's coming, Pa!" Whine Kenzo immediately, after swallowing the food in his mouth.
"Papa to Surabaya to take care of the work, dear." Push down the smooth Ardi.
"But Kenzo wants to come to Banyuwangi."
Deg. Ardi, who was applying chocolate jam to the bread he was about to eat, immediately stopped his activity. He knows what Kenzo meant. He placed his bread on the plate, and turned attentively to Kenzo.
"You have to take the report today, right? Oma and opa are also not feeling well. Pity them if they have to travel far, Ken." Reject Ardi again.
"But Paa,,"
"Next time, Ken! Papa's doing a lot of work right now." Advice Niken.
Kenzo's face immediately turned moody. And that, was clearly realized by Ardi who was sitting next to him.
"Kenzo wants what from Banyuwangi? I'll buy it before I go home." Ardi slowly with warmth.
Kenzo immediately turned his head enthusiastically to Ardi.
"Mother." Brief Kenzo.
Ardi's facial expression suddenly flat. He understood the meaning of Kenzo's words just now.
"I'm sorry, Papa, Ken!" Sahut Ardi flat.
Kenzo's expression finally returned. This is the umpteenth apology from Ardi, if he asks for it.
Ardi slightly glanced at his watch. And a second later, he turned his body to face Kenzo.
"Papa's leaving first, honey. Don't be naughty with opa and oma, they're not feeling well!" Pamit Ardi fast.
"You didn't have breakfast, Di?" Ask Niken immediately.
Ardi, who was hugging Kenzo for a farewell, postponed for a moment to answer Niken. He hugged his only son warmly with regret.
"I'm sorry, Papa, Ken!" Inner Ardi was sad.
"Ardi's in a hurry, Ma." Lying Ardi, while looking at Niken.
Rama and Niken understand the meaning of Ardi's actions. He could not face his son, when it came to Kenzo's request. So, they let Ardi like that
Ardi then said goodbye to Rama and Niken. And get to the garage, get to the airport. The flight schedule is still ninety minutes away.
Ardi who originally asked Dika to pick him up to the house, now even the opposite. He invited Dika to his home.
While on the way to Dika's house, Ardi's memory drifted to the events of one year ago. The incident that made him bring his family back to Bandung.
The Flashback
Tonight, almost midnight, Ardi had just arrived at his home after a long day of traveling by car with Reno and Erna. He had just returned from Semarang to meet Ratna.
Ardi came home empty-handed. He still does not know where Aini is. As it turned out, Aini also did not inform Ratna, where he took Umar away.
Ratna was so angry at Ardi for making Aini leave. And even now with no news at all.
Rama and Niken asked Ardi to rest at home tonight. Because Kenzo was accompanied by them. So, Ardi also prepared for a moment to unwind, and prepared to face Kenzo tomorrow.
Just now that Ardi had finished taking a shower, the door to his room was knocked so hard.
"Sir! Mr Ardi!"
The voice of a very familiar man, echoed in Ardi's room very clearly. Ardi opened his room immediately.
"What's wrong?" Tanya Ardi was tired.
"Meet, Sir. Umar's cell phone number was just traced. In Banyuwangi." Said the man who knocked earlier, who was none other than Angga.
Ardi immediately changed his clothes. He immediately ran to his garage. And it turned out, there was already Reno waiting for him there.
"Rest! I'll go alone." Pinta Ardi's.
Ardi was quite familiar with the condition of his men. Moreover, Reno who had just returned from Semarang was with him. Which certainly also feel tired, because driving a car from Semarang to Surabaya.
"I'll accompany you, Sir." Reply Reno sure.
"All right." Brief Ardi.
Ardi and Reno got into the car immediately. They then immediately left for the city at the very end of Java Island, Banyuwangi.
During the trip, Ardi and Reno take turns driving the car. Ardi did not want Reno exhausted and harmed them during the trip.
When the sun came back to greet the residents of Nusantara, Ardi's car began to enter Banyuwangi City. With hopes that filled his chest, Ardi really couldn't wait to meet Aini and immediately apologized to her.
After driving nearly an hour from the city center, Ardi and Reno arrived at a village that was close to the southern coast of Java Island. They immediately find the location of the house where Umar's cell phone is tracked.
Banyuwangi. Yes, this is where Aini and Umar are now. Aini took Umar with her to the house of one of Ratmini's older sisters.
After asking a resident, they found the house where Ratmini's brother lived. They're heading for the house right away.
Ardi's heart suddenly became nervous beyond measure. His heart is beating fast. Cold sweat began to ambush him without excuse. He began to get worried. Worried that Aini would not meet him and would not even forgive him.
When Ardi's car arrived in front of the house that was not large enough but with a large enough yard, Ardi's sharp net immediately caught the figure he was looking for. He was sweeping the courtyard of the house so casually.
"That's Aini ma'am, sir." Reno said sure.
Slowly Ardi opened the door of his car, without taking his eyes off the sweeping woman. As she stood beside the car, Aini turned to her.
"Mas Ardi?" Aini muttered softly, as she straightened her body slowly.
Aini's heart was suddenly so hard. His body trembled slightly, accompanied by a sudden chill greeting every inch of his body. His world was suddenly empty. Only Ardi was clearly visible in front of him, who was a few meers away from him.
The two eyes met immediately. Ardi also slowly stepped his legs to approach Aini.
While Aini, he was a little unexpected, Ardi quickly found his whereabouts. In fact, just last night he told Ratna using his budhenya phone, that he was in Banyuwangi with Umar. And even Ratna promised not to tell Ardi about his existence.
"Ni! Aini!"
The voice of a woman from inside the house, echoed just like that to the front page. Aini who was daydreaming, was a little surprised at being too focused on the man who was approaching her.
Aini immediately dropped the broom in her hand. "Yes, Budhe."
Aini began to turn around, and prepared to enter and approach the person who called her.
"Darling! Wait!"
Ardi immediately ran to prevent Aini from entering the house. Aini slightly ignored Ardi's call, as she was not ready to meet him yet.
"Darling!" Call Ardi again, as he manages to grab one of Aini's hands.
"Darling, I'm sorry." Ardi said immediately.
Aini still did not react.
"I know, I was wrong with you. I know, I broke our promise. But please, listen to my explanation first!" Pinta Ardi is hopeful.
Aini was silent.
"I'm sorry, honey!" Pinta Ardi is sad.
"I'm not mad at you, Mom." Brief Aini.
"Then why did you leave and not tell me?"
"You asked for it, didn't you? I left because Mas asked for it yesterday."
"Mila's not my fiancee. Him,,"
"Your cousin."
Ardi's words were interrupted just like that by Aini. Ardi was shocked when he heard Aini's words.
"You know?"
"Mbok Sri told me." Honest Aini.
"Then, why did you leave if you found out? Why don't you ask me anything, or even ask me for an explanation?"
"Because I trust you, Mom. I believe you must have a good reason to do that."
Deg. Ardi was stunned to hear Aini's reply. He did not expect, Aini believed him so much. Even if he hurt her yesterday.
"I promised you, to trust you, Mom. And I'm just trying to keep my promise." Aini Imbuh.
"I don't want you to get hurt, honey." Gumam Ardi.
"I know Mas, you have a good reason for doing that. Even though I don't know what the real reason is." Aini's solicitations of attention.
"I'm sorry, honey!" Pinta Ardi was full of regrets.
"I'm not mad at you, Mom. So, there's nothing to forgive." Sincere Aini.
Aini was not angry with Ardi. He was only disappointed in Ardi, for not being completely honest with Aini.
"Then, let's go back to Surabaya! All are waiting for you and Umar." Take Ardi without hesitation.
"I can't, Mom." Answer Aini immediately.
"Why, Honey?"
"I want to be here first."
Ardi fell silent. He could feel, Aini's disappointed feeling from his tone.
"I know I'm guilty of this. I'm sorry, honey! And please, come back to Surabaya with me!" Persuade Ardi.
"I can't, Mom. I want to start a new life with Umar here." Honest Aini is poignant.
"Don't you want to start your new life with me and Kenzo?"
Aini just smiled a little.
"Please, Honey! Come back to Surabaya! Kenzo is waiting for you." Persuade Ardi tirelessly.
"I've left a small letter to Kenzo on mbok Sri. I've explained to Kenzo everything." Push Aini slowly.
"But he wants you next to him. Accompany her like yesterday."
"It's my decision, Mas. I hope, Mas Ardi understands it!" Answer Aini as flat as possible, in order to cover up the turmoil of his heart.
"Kenzo's in the hospital right now. He fainted yesterday, because he lost you."
Aini speechless. Her maternal heart was turbulent. He knew that Ardi would definitely persuade him to use Kenzo. But, he did not expect, if Kenzo to faint because of looking for him.
"Sorry Mas, I can't come with you back to Surabaya." Answer Aini bitterly.
"But baby,,"
"Dani!"
The voice of budhe Aini, re-echoing up to the courtyard of the house. Aini looked towards the house.
"Yes Budhe, just a minute!" Aini's voice was a little screaming.
"Umar. Where's Umar? Let me see him, honey!" Pinta Ardi fast.
"He's still sleeping, Mas. He's exhausted from spending last night with his cousin." Honest Aini.
"Let me talk to him when he wakes up!"
Aini held Ardi's sturdy hand which was still faithfully holding her hand. He looked at it gently, the man who looked quite tired was his face.
"Mas. My choice. I hope, Mas understand. I can't go back to Surabaya with you right now." Aini soft speech.
"Then, when are you coming back, baby? Tomorrow then? Or the day after? I'll get Kenzo here as soon as I can. He wants to see you soon." Reply Ardi expectantly.
"I'm sorry, Mom!" Briefly Aini, while trying to release Ardi's hand from his hand.
Ardi immediately turned his gaze towards his hand. His hand suddenly sagged due to Aini's attitude.
"Please, Honey! I love you so much." Persuade Ardi again.
"I love you too, Mom." Answer Aini with a smile.
"So, come back with me to Surabaya!"
"I can't, Mom." Reject Aini again.
In Aini's heart, she actually wanted to go back to Ardi. But, he had already made up his mind since leaving Ardi's house the other day. He will live his life with Umar alone in the meantime. So, he refused Ardi's request with a heavy heart.
"But baby,,"
"Sorry, Budhe called me! I'll go in first, Mas." Pamit Aini's.
Ardi fell silent. In fact, her hand just squeezed out, as Aini let go of her hand.
"Please don't see me after this, Mom!"
"But baby,,"
"And please apologize to Mr. Rama, Miss Niken and Kenzo! Thank you, Mommy." Aini Sela.
Aini then turned around and began to move her legs away from Ardi. He completely rejected Ardi's request to return to Surabaya with him.
Ardi could not hold Aini anymore. He finally let Aini get away from him step by step.
Slowly and silently, Aini's tears just flowed away. His heart really didn't want this. But only he wants to fix his heart that was disappointed yesterday.
Ardi finally returned to his car. He looked back many times, hoping that Aini would come back to him. But it didn't. Even until he waited for a while in the car, Aini still did not come back out. Even to finish sweeping it.
"I will obey your request, dear. I'll let you go now. But, if God brings us back together in His way, I will not let you go. Even if you have an escort later, I will fight for you." Inner Ardi, while staring at the house where Aini lives now.
Ardi then decided to go home empty-handed again. But at least, he had tried to persuade and ask Aini to return to him, even though he was rejected.
"I'm sorry, Mom! Not that I'm mad at you, I just want to be alone for now. I hope you understand my decision! But, if God ever brings us back together in His way, really, I will not let you go, Matt." Inner Aini, while staring at Ardi's car from inside the house.
After arriving home, Ardi tried very hard to explain everything to Kenzo. He explains to Kenzo very carefully, so that Kenzo's condition does not drop back.
And after Kenzo's condition was completely stable, Ardi finally brought his family to live in Bandung. With hope, Kenzo will continue to improve with a new atmosphere in Bandung, even without Aini.
Flashback Off
"How are you, honey? I miss you so much." Ardi muttered, while continuing to drive his car to Dika's house.
