Aini's Heart Journey

Meet Kenzo

"Where, Brother?" The voice of a woman, echoed in Dika's ears perfectly, as she had just descended from the top floor of Aini's shophouse.

"Successful, Mom. Miss Aini who took your call earlier." Answer Dika sure.

"Then?"

"If you don't hear wrong, Aini's mom asked Mr. Ardi for permission to see Kenzo."

"good. In that case, book a plane ticket for you to come home tomorrow!"

"Good, Mom."

"I'm waiting to hear from you again."

"Yes, Mom."

The phone connection ended. She smiled and was happy after that. He immediately complied with the request of the woman who had called him, who was none other than Niken.

Upstairs, though,,, the,,

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

Ardi was quite surprised to hear Aini's question. He did not expect, Aini even immediately wanted to see Kenzo when he heard from Niken earlier.

"But,,"

"Is this your mother's plan?" Ardi in the heart.

Ardi was quite hesitant about the news given by his mother. Because he knows very well, Kenzo's condition was very good when he went to Banyuwangi yesterday. Moreover, Gilang already said, the results of Kenzo's operation with Aini one year ago is very good. Kenzo's body slowly improved.

"I promise I won't bother him, Mom. I just wanted to see him. Look at his condition." Persuade Aini with increasingly anxious feelings.

Which mother's heart was not anxious, when she heard her son was rushed to the hospital at a late time. Although he did not know for sure, what happened to his son.

Ardi could not bear to see Aini whose eyes began to red and there was a clear liquid that pooled there. He could feel, the anxiety that Aini was feeling right now was just from her expression alone.

"Yes. Of course I can. You can meet him. Kenzo would be happy to see you too." Reply Ardi sure.

"Thank you, Mum."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'll wake Umar." Aini's voice soon.

"Don't! Let Umar rest tonight! He just had an accident. We leave tomorrow morning." Sincere Ardi.

"Is it okay, Mom?"

"You just calm down! Kenzo must have been handled by Gilang by now."

Aini was sitting limp in her chair back. He thought of his two sons who were in poor condition at the moment.

Ardi then closer to Aini who sat down. He then half crouched down in front of Aini. He held the hand of the woman before him, who was now in the midst of anxiety.

"Look at me, Ni!" Pinta Ardi soft.

Aini who felt the touch of Ardi's hand and request, immediately turned her attention to Ardi.

"Calm down! Now, rest! We'll tell Umar tomorrow morning and leave after that." Pinta Ardi soft.

Aini nodded small. Ardi smiled because Aini wanted to hear it. Aini then returned to her room accompanied by Ardi. And after Aini to his room, Ardi then met Dika and asked Dika to book a plane ticket for them tomorrow.

And when morning came, Aini and Ardi told Umar that they would meet Kenzo today. Umar was quite surprised when he heard Kenzo was sick and went to the hospital. Because during this one year, Kenzo has very rarely been sick, especially to stay overnight in the hospital.

"But don't tell Kenzo that we're going there!" Pinta Ardi's.

"Why, Pa?" Polo Umar.

"We're giving her a surprise."

"Okay, Pa." Reply Umar sure.

Aini also told Erna and Nia who would cook to sell.

"If you are hesitant to open a shop today, the stall is closed first! I'll probably stay a few days in Surabaya." Honest Aini.

"In Surabaya?" Erna asked confusedly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Aren't you going to Bandung?"

"Hand? Kok Bandung's? Kenzo's in Surabaya, Na."

"Pak Ardi has moved to Bandung, Ma'am."

"What?"

Ja. Aini until now did not know if Ardi and his family had moved to Bandung. Ardi also from yesterday did not say anything to Aini about his move to Bandung after the departure of Aini at that time.

"Mas, does Mas now live in Bandung? Not in Surabaya?" Aini asked after meeting Ardi who was helping Umar prepare.

"Yes. After you left that day, I moved to Bandung. Why?"

"So, now Kenzo is also in Bandung?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Astaghfirullah's. Why didn't you say? That's a long way, Mommy."

"We'll get on the plane later. I booked the ticket."

Aini's face turned confused. He did not know that Kenzo was in a city very far from him at this time. But Umar,, the,,

"Horry! Umar has never been, Pa, on a plane." Umar was enthusiastic.

"Oh yeah? Okay, that'll be your first experience." Sahut Ardi happy.

"Yes, Pa."

"OKAY. Tos the same Papa!"

Ploc. Ardi and Umar also tos happily, when Aini is still confused to face everything. In fact, he had never been on a plane.

At six o'clock in the morning, Ardi, Aini, Umar and the others left for Surabaya. They immediately headed to the airport where they left for Bandung with a plane that had been booked by Dika.

Aini left her stall and handed it over temporarily to Erna. He had a lot of faith in Erna after everything they had been through together this year. And again, Erna was also Ardi's chosen person who was indeed asked to take care of her.

Umar was so happy when he entered the plane and sat in his chair. He observed every inch of the interior of the plane he was riding and could not wait to fly immediately.

And what about Aini? Aini, sit restlessly in her chair. He was quite nervous when the plane was about to take off.

And Ardi who was sitting next to Umar, realized that. Ardi also asked Umar's permission to change seats with Dika first, so that he could calm Aini. And Umar allowed it.

"Calm down, Ni! Everything's gonna be okay." Pinta Ardi, after he sat down and held gently one hand Aini.

"What's? Ah, yes, Mas." Aini was shocked, with a very anxious face.

"Look at me!" Pinta Ardi soft.

Aini also tried to dare to see Ardi. Looking at the face of the man who is still the occupant of his heart to this day. Staring deeply, bead the eyes of the handsome man who was now sitting beside him.

"Calm down, honey! There I am here." Ardi said so softly.

Either Ardi who can always calm Aini, or Aini who still always believes with every speech Ardi. Aini's feeling immediately became calmer in a matter of seconds.

Daanann,, by,,

Aini finally made it through the seconds as the plane took off without any significant nervousness. His feelings were calmer when he was near Ardi.

After flying for about one hundred and sixty minutes, the plane carrying Ardi and the others landed perfectly in the city of Paris van Java, Bandung. Aini and Umar, who were flying in the first plane, did not experience jet lag. They got off the plane in pretty good condition.

Welcomed with the warmth of the afternoon sun, Aini and Umar first set foot in the city with a million charms. They went straight to the hospital where Kenzo was treated.

Ardi had heard from Gilang, Kenzo did have a fever last night. It was probably due to exhaustion and erratic weather, so Kenzo suddenly developed a fever.

The Flashback

"Kenzo why, Lang?" Ask Ardi when the phone call to his best friend is connected.

"Fever."

"Why get to the hospital if you have a fever?"

"I'm told, same aunt's father has arrived at the hospital."

"Continue?"

"Yes I checked his condition in the hospital."

"How now?"

"The story is passing."

"It doesn't mean hospitalization, does it?"

"Inpatient."

"If it's hard, why hospitalization?" Upset Ardi.

"Wait for the pack."

Clamps. The call was ended just like that by Gilang. Ardi is more upset at the moment. Just now he was enjoying his leisure time together with Aini, instead being bothered with things that could actually be resolved without her intervention.

Ardi actually understood the answer from Gilang earlier. Kenzo must have missed Aini so much all this time. So, this is a small protest from him so that his wishes are fulfilled by the father.

Flashback Off

Aini who thought too much about Kenzo, he forgot to ask Ardi and Dika again, why Kenzo was admitted to the hospital. The heart of this mother, too sad and anxious to hear her son last night rushed to the hospital.

After walking down the hospital hallways, and being in a box room to go up several floors, Ardi, Aini, Umar and Dika arrived in front of a room that was immediately opened by Ardi.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Said Ardi while opening the door.

"Father!"

A boy's voice echoed perfectly from inside the ward and greeted Ardi. The boy sat leaning on the patient's cage accompanied by a woman who was none other than his grandmother. Who else if not Kenzo and Niken.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." Answer Niken relieved.

Clearly visible on the faces of Kenzo and Niken, they look relieved and happy to see the arrival of Ardi.

"Papa has a gift for you, Ken." Said Ardi, who was still standing in front of the door, opening wide.

Kenzo's face turned curious and very enthusiastic. Because Kenzo does not know, if Aini and Umar come to Bandung at this time.

"Kenzo!" Call Umar, and he bows his head from outside the door.

"Summer!" Kenzo doesn't believe me.

Kenzo immediately tried to get out of his bed, because there was no infusion tube that held him. Umar then immediately went in and approached Kenzo.

Two old friends who already felt like brothers also immediately embraced to let go of longing.

"There's more, Ken." Sela Ardi's.

Kenzo, who was still facing the door when he hugged Umar, was surprised not to play when he saw the woman who had just entered his ward.

"Mother!" Lirih Kenzo doesn't believe it.

Kenzo immediately let go of his embrace to Umar. His feelings were mixed for a moment when he saw the woman he so longed for.

"Yes, Honey. It's Mother." Answer Aini with a smile.

Kenzo then approached Aini who also walked up to him. They clearly immediately hugged to release any lingering feelings in the heart.

Happy, obviously. They were obviously happy to be able to meet again after a long separation. Sad, yes. Why are they only now found? Not yesterday so that the longing does not accumulate higher.

Kenzo who missed Aini so much, immediately cried in the arms of his mother. He could say nothing to express his feelings.

So is Aini. He also clearly let out his tears because he was finally able to convey all the long held feelings in his heart. It was a disturbing feeling and as if he did not want to leave.

Niken was obviously crying when she saw the little incident. He could not help his tears seeing his granddaughter crying so hard in Aini's arms.

"Look! It's all because of you." Annoyed Niken to Ardi who was already standing next to him.

"Sorry, Ma!" Ardi Sesal.

All let Kenzo and Aini cuddle up to let go of the longing. Niken immediately greeted Umar and hugged him.

"What's wrong with you, son?" Ask Niken attention.

"Yesterday fell, Oma. Stamped motor. Fortunately, help papa." Umar Honestly.

Niken turned to Ardi for a moment, because he did not know about it. Niken then invites all to sit down, to let go of each other's longing. He also immediately approached Aini to greet her. He did not even hesitate to hug Aini.

"How are you, Ni?" Niken Haru asked, while hugging Aini.

"Good, Mom. Miss Niken how's it going?" Answer Aini a little sobbing.

"I'm good too, Ni."

Niken then allows Aini and Kenzo to return to chatting. He and Ardi accompanied Umar.

"What's sick of you, Ken? Why should I be treated?" Aini asked, after Kenzo returned to his bed.

"Lost you, Ni." A man, who suddenly enters Kenzo's ward.

Everyone also looked. "Doctor Gilang."

Gilang who deliberately wanted to meet Aini, accidentally heard Aini's question earlier. He also represented Kenzo to answer him.

"How are you, Ni?" Sapa Gilang was friendly, having been near Aini.

"Good, Doctor. Doctor Gilang himself, how is he? Ma'am Maya, how's she doing too?" Answer Aini friendly.

"Thank God, all good." Relax Gilang.

"Alhamdulillah."

Then suddenly,,

"Oh, my son-in-law's candidate has arrived apparently." Said a middle-aged man who also entered the room without excuse.

Everyone turned back to the door, and Aini was no exception. He was a little confused to hear the words of the man, who was none other than Rama.

"Yes, Om. Come on, here!" Sahut Gilang happy.

Aini was a little wobbly looking for the whereabouts of the person Rama meant. But did not find anyone Rama might have meant.

"You why? Find who?" Tanya Gilang who was still standing near Aini.

Aini confusedly replied Gilang.

"What is meant by Rama is you. His son-in-law. Ardi's future wife." Reply Gilang while smiling amusedly.
