Aini's Heart Journey

Romantic Start (Again)

The night is rolling. Even the sounds of the night animals are getting more and more heard. They sang beautifully, along with the streets that began to be deserted by the passing of vehicles.

Umar who had just had a minor accident, slept quickly tonight. Moreover, he was accompanied by Ardi. The one who missed him enough this year.

Umar had wanted to contact Kenzo and said that Ardi was staying at his house tonight, but was forbidden by Ardi. Ardi did not want to make Kenzo whine at his grandparents to follow him to Banyuwangi.

But it was also good for Umar. Because obviously, Ardi will focus on Umar alone tonight.

After the house of the head of RT with Dika, Aini prepared a place for Dika and his guards to rest. He prepared his mat and blanket. And borrow Erna and Nia's for tonight.

Dika and the Ardi guards were still coolly chatting in the stall. They slightly unwinded while exchanging stories, while Ardi accompanied Umar to go to dreamland.

Aini, doing what she used to do almost every night. He would enjoy the night on his balcony after Umar fell asleep. Usually he was accompanied by Erna while chatting.

Aini was already sitting on one of the wooden chairs on the balcony. Accompanied by his favorite instant coffee, he saw the night sky that was so bright tonight. The stars and the moon roost beautifully in their place.

"Cochen's Erna not here? Huft. Maybe he just called Angga." Aini Mumbled.

Without Aini knowing, Erna actually wanted to follow him to the balcony, but was intercepted by Ardi who was both just out of the room.

"Here?" Ask Ardi.

Erna slightly glanced towards the balcony whose door was slightly open.

"It looks like it's on the balcony, sir. Aini's mother used to be there after Umar slept." Honest Erna.

"Thank you."

"Yes, Sir. Do you want me to make you a coffee or a warm drink?" Tawar Erna's.

"No, thank you."

"Good, sir."

Ardi then stepped onto the balcony. And right, he found Aini there.

Aini who was focused on looking at the night sky, did not see first who was coming. He asked casually at the people who approached him.

"Udah finished Na, the phone?" Ask Aini relax.

Ardi, who was confused because asked Aini like that, chose silence not to answer. Aini finally turned her head because she did not get an answer.

"Mas Ardi? I'm sorry, I thought Erna came." Honest Aini.

"It's okay. What are you doing here?" Sahut Ardi, while sitting in another chair in front of Aini.

"Just look at the stars, Mom." Answer Aini accordingly.

Ardi finally looked at the vast sky.

"Pretty." Ardi Gumam.

"Yes, Mas. The sky is clear, it's beautiful." Aini Sahut.

"Yes. As beautiful as you."

Aini immediately turned to Ardi, who was looking at her with a small smile.

Aini was suddenly nervous about being praised by Ardi. Although this was not the first time he had been so gently praised by Ardi, it still managed to make him blush in embarrassment and feel immeasurably nervous. His face also looks a little blushing under the balcony lights are not so bright.

Aini immediately shifted her eyes. He turned back to the expanse of buildings that lined irregularly around his frame. Shaded by a vast expanse of sky with millions of stars.

"Want to drink warm? I'll make it a minute." Aini said nervously.

Ardi noticed Aini's slightly nervous tone. He also let Aini who immediately stood up from his chair, even though Ardi had not answered him.

Aini immediately slid down to make a warm drink for Ardi. He actually wanted to divert his nervousness and cover it up from Ardi.

And below, he meets Erna who is also making coffee for herself, Dika and her colleagues.

"Mbak Aini hasn't made a drink yet? Tumben?" Ask Erna curious.

"Udah. Make it Ardi." Honest Aini.

"Oh, the pantesan was Mr. Ardi I did not want to. Mr. Ardi wants from the hands of his future wife directly apparently." Goda Erna's.

"What are you talking about, Na?" Aini is ashamed.

"Really, Mom. I had already nawarin Mr. Ardi wanted to drink warm. But Mr. Ardi doesn't want to."

"That's not the ales either, is it?" Give Aini shame.

"That's not papa, is it, Mommy? Hhihihi,,"

Erna immediately left Aini who was still busy making Ardi a warm drink. He didn't want Aini to pinch him for teasing him earlier, as they used to do. He also gave coffee to the men who were chatting in the stall chair.

"Eh, it was not that Ardi had not answered, willing or unwilling. Abaghfirullah!" Inner Aini, while patting her forehead.

Aini snorted annoyedly at herself. He was upset because it means he was caught if he was nervous earlier when facing Ardi.

"Why drink mine, Mom?" Aini asked as she returned to the balcony and saw Ardi casually drinking his coffee.

"It's better, Ni." Honestly Ardi.

"But Mas,,"

"Drink from the same glass as you."

"A, what?"

Aini was obviously nervous back and became stammered. His heart that had begun to irregular, suddenly again beat uncontrollably because of Ardi's simple speech.

"Sir Ardi is so romantic, anyway!" Sela Erna suddenly appeared from the direction of the stairs.

Aini turned immediately towards Erna. He could see clearly, Erna's face was so happy to hear Ardi being romantic on Aini.

While Ardi, just a small smile to see Erna, who immediately slid into his room because he did not want to disturb the romantic moment of the boss.

"Why stand there? Aren't you tired of taking it to stand there?" Tegur Ardi relax.

"Eh?"

Aini finally with a nervous feeling that had not disappeared, returned to her chair earlier. With a tray containing a glass of instant coffee warm and setoples snacks that he always prepared if any guests come.

"Sorry, for drinking your coffee without permission!" Pinta Ardi soft.

"What's? Oh, yes, my. It's okay." Answer Aini confused.

"I was offered Erna but I refused. Because I miss this one. Your handmade coffee." Honestly Ardi while reaching for the coffee glass that Aini brought.

Aini just stared flatly at Ardi. But his heart was beating really fast because of a little shake from Ardi.

"Please enjoy, Mom!" Sincere Aini.

"Yes, thank you."

Ardi immediately enjoyed the coffee and snacks that Aini brought. Although only a simple thing, but managed to make Ardi's heart so happy. Because clearly, he had missed this moment wholeheartedly during these few months.

Aini then re-enjoiced her time while looking at the moon and stars like that. He let Ardi enjoy his drinks and snacks.

"Don!" Call Ardi softly, while looking closely at Aini's face from the side.

"Yes, Mum." Answer Aini while looking.

"I miss you." Honestly Ardi without hesitation.

Aini who was confused, just stared at Ardi flatly. Slowly, he smiled a little.

"I miss you too, Mom." Inner Aini.

Yes, those two people actually miss each other in silence. They held each other's turbulent feelings in their hearts, during this one year. For the promise they made themselves.

"How are you doing Mila, Mas?" Ask Aini to shift the subject.

"good. He's very kind. She's pregnant now." Honestly Ardi.

"Oh, huh?"

"Yes. He married his girlfriend, four months after his visit to Surabaya at that time. And now, he's waiting for his first child."

"Alhamdulillah. May Mila be happy with her family." Sincere Aini.

"Don't you want to be like Mila, Ni?"

"I mean, Mas?" Ask Aini while looking.

"Married and happy with his family." Reply Ardi casually.

Aini began to know, the direction of Ardi's conversation. He smiled a little to answer Ardi. And Ardi understood with the intention of Aini's smile. So, he didn't ask any more about it.

Ardi and Aini are back to enjoying this sunny night. Sometimes I ask each other a few things. Till,,

"Sorry, sir." Sela Dika slowly.

Ardi and Aini looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" Ask Ardi for attention.

"There's something I have to tell you."

"All right."

Ardi then moved from his chair. He then went inside with Dika.

"What's wrong?" Ask Ardi curiously.

"So Reno called."

"Why?"

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Ardi very well memorized the ringing of the phone, which is none other than his phone. He immediately looked for the existence of the flat object of his box. Which turns out, left on the balcony table.

"Who's calling, Ni?" ardi asked casually and slightly shouted.

Aini who was also surprised by the ringing of the phone, also glanced at the phone on the table beside her.

"Mom Niken, Mum." Aini said after reading the caller's name.

"Please answer! He must be happy to hear your voice." Pinta Ardi relax.

"But,,"

Ardi turned back to Dika and let Aini take her call.

"Why did Reno call this late?" Ask Ardi worriedly.

"Kenzo was rushed to the hospital, sir." Answer Dika doubt.

"What's? But, yesterday she was fine when I left."

"I don't know either, sir. Reno just said, Kenzo was suddenly taken to the hospital by Mr. Rama and Miss Niken."

Ardi immediately turned around to approach Aini.

While Aini, he was trying to dare to answer the phone from Niken. Slowly he picked up Ardi's phone and answered it.

"How long did he answer his phone, Di?"

Niken's voice echoed clearly in Aini's ears. But Aini did not have time to answer, Niken was back talking from the end of the phone.

"Udah kelar is not your business in Banyuwangi yet? If so, come home! Kenzo's in the hospital." Said Niken anxiously over there.

Aini's body was clearly sculpted when she heard her son who was far away there, this late must be taken to the hospital. He suddenly could not think of anything. His brain suddenly seemed to die unable to think.

Ardi who had just returned, was aware of Aini's reaction. He knows, Aini must have heard from Kenzo. He immediately took his phone.

"Yes Ma. Why?"

"Why are you at the diem from earlier? Kenzo's in the hospital."

"But yesterday was fine when Ardi left."

"You think**you think Mama's lying?"

"It's not so, Ma."

"Waste home! Kenzo has a fever and nanyanin you from the morning."

"Yes, Ma. Ardi's coming home tomorrow."

The phone connection was also cut off.

"Kenzo's. Kenzos. Kenzo why, Mas? Why was he rushed to the hospital this late?" Anxious Aini with a blank look but very anxious.

"No papa. Be calm! He just has a fever."

"But why take him to Mas hospital, if only fever?"

"Easy, relax! I'll ask Gilang about Kenzo's condition later." Reply Ardi tried to calm down.

Aini's maternal feeling, just like that when she heard Kenzo was sick. His heart that was still so dear to Kenzo with sincerity, suddenly urged and asked for things that were not unexpected.

"May I see Kenzo, Mas?" Aini asked without hesitation, with her anxious face that had yet to disappear.
