Aini's Heart Journey

Ardi's Seriousness

Good morning to the world. A slightly cloudy morning, starting today in Kota Kembang, Bandung. After last night the sky was quite clear, this morning, several black clouds, dotted the blue sky. Although not so concentrated, but able to block the sunlight warms the earth.

Then, how's our new lovebirds doing?

Ardi woke up very excited this morning. It was clear because last night he managed to propose to Aini and get the answer he hoped for. Aini accepted her proposal.

Although there was still one thing that troubled Ardi's heart, and it was a big PR for him. But he tried to keep thinking positively so that everything ended well.

An aini? He was obviously happy too, because what he expected also happened. But he did not dare to leave his room. He was embarrassed to meet Rama and Niken. Which incidentally, indirectly, now bears the status of his future father-in-law.

Geck, tok, tok. The sound of a knock on the door of Aini's room, slightly startled the occupants. He who had just finished teaching because he did not dare to go out of the room, began to panic with who was knocking on the door of his room.

"What is mama?" Mumbled Aini worriedly.

Geck, tok, tok. The knocking was heard again.

"Darling! You're okay, right?" Shouted Ardi from outside in an anxious tone.

"Mas Ardi." Aini Mumbled.

Aini opened the door for Ardi. And right, Ardi was at the door of the room with a pretty anxious face.

"You're not papa, are you? Why haven't you left the room from earlier?" Anxious Ardi while holding Aini's arm.

"Me, I'm fine, Mom." Stuttering Aini.

Ardi observed Aini from head to toe. He even touched Aini's forehead to make sure that Aini was not sick.

"I'm fine, Mom." Reload Aini.

"Then, why haven't you left the room? Mama and bi' Mar said, you haven't been out of your room since last night. You're not usually like that. Wh why? Did anyone bother you?" Anxious Ardi.

"Emmm," Aini bowed confusedly.

"What's wrong? Tell me, honey!"

"That's it, Mas,,"

Aini then raised her face and looked at Ardi in confusion. He was confused, how to say his shame met with Rama and Niken, after receiving Ardi's proposal last night.

"Why?" Tanya Ardi was getting anxious.

"There's no shame in me, Ni." Sela Niken suddenly.

Ardi and Aini turned to Niken who was leisurely walking towards them.

"Mama?" Say Ardi and Aini together.

Ardi immediately turned his head back to Aini. "You're ashamed of mom? Shame why?"

"Maaass," Rajuk Aini.

Ardi was trying to understand the meaning of her mother's words and Aini's attitude just now. He also recalled, if his future wife was, it was easy to feel embarrassed.

"I want to marry Aini, Ma." Said Ardi confidently, with a hand that pulled Aini into his arms.

"Mas, loose!" Pinta Aini is quick while enduring embarrassment.

Aini slightly thrashed for Ardi to let go of her embrace. But instead of letting go, Ardi even more tightly embraced Aini with one hand and held her with the other.

"Your father?" Tempta Niken's.

"It's accepted my proposal, Ma. Last night." Reply Ardi sure.

Last night, when Ardi and Aini went home on a date, the house was already very quiet. All the residents are in their rooms. So, Ardi and Aini haven't told you about what happened to them last night. Although actually, Rama and Niken already know because they got a report from Dika.

"really?" Niken Cibir.

Ardi then shows Aini's left hand, which he managed to finish the ring that Rama bought last night. Niken just looked at him casually.

"If Mama still does not believe, Mama can ask Gilang and Maya. Ardi's friends were witnesses last night when Ardi proposed to Aini." Said Ardi sure.

"But," muttered Aini softly.

"Why, Honey?"

"If you don't know yet, why do you know why I haven't been out of my room since?" Aini's whisper to Ardi.

Ardi looked at her confusedly at Aini.

"Mom knows, right?" Terka Ardi soon.

"Know what?" Polo Niken.

"No need to be so innocent, Ma!" Relax Ardi.

"Mas. Don't you fucking kayak it!" Tegur Aini's.

Niken smiled lightly at Ardi because defended by Aini.

"Udah! Let's have breakfast first! Kenzo's waiting for Umar at the dinner table." Bring Niken.

"Can really. Mama knows, right?" Force Ardi.

Niken didn't respond to Ardi. He turned around to return to the dining room. But, Ardi immediately prevented it.

"Mom knows, right?"

"Udah. You guys were late last night on the date. Mama should ask Dika to know the result." Pissed Niken.

"Sorry, Ma." Lirih Aini's.

"No papa, Ni. Ardinya was the last time you asked a date last night." Sahut Niken relaxed, while glancing towards Ardi.

Ardi then released his mother. He also took turns to take his future wife to the dining table. Niken left Ardi and Aini first.

"Mas!" Reprimand Aini while struggling a little for Ardi to release his hand.

"No papa, honey. Mom and Dad understood." Kilah Ardi's.

"I'm ashamed, Mom. Not good at them."

"If so, we'll find ustadz sir or go straight to KUA now. Let it be legitimate right away, and you can be more comfortable. Yea?"

"Mas!"

Ardi giggled at Aini's annoyed expression.

"Yes, yeah. We'll be in Semarang later this afternoon. After getting the blessing of Ratna's mother, we're new to KUA." Sahut Ardi sure.

"Later in the afternoon?"

"Yes. I have to attend a meeting that's been delayed this afternoon. After that, we'll go to Semarang."

"But,,"

"I don't want to wait too long and waste this opportunity again, dear."

Aini looked at Ardi's face to read his seriousness. And from Ardi's face, there was not the slightest expression of doubt there. Aini also nodded in understanding.

"Umar and Kenzo?"

"They're obviously coming, honey."

Aini just nodded happily. He did not expect, Ardi would be that serious with him. In fact, he immediately wanted to get the blessing of Ratna. Which he remembered very well, Ratna was very angry with Ardi at that time after getting news from Aini, if Aini went to Banyuwangi.

Ja. Ratna was really angry and disappointed at Ardi. He did not even hesitate to throw Ardi out of his house, so angry. Imron had to apologize to Ardi for Ratna's attitude that was out of control at that time.

Aini who knows the story of Ratna's anger, a little anxious about what will happen in the future, if Ardi returns in his life. Because perhaps, Ratna would really complicate her relationship with Ardi.

...****************...

Evening arrived. Ardi came home from work early. He had already said his heart's intention to go to Semarang with Aini and her two sons to Rama and Niken. Both of his parents welcomed this. Rama was able to help Ardi's work, during Ardi in Semarang.

Ardi brought his small family to Semarang by plane. Ardi and Aini agreed, they did not tell their arrival to Ratna's little family.

And after Maghrib, Ardi's plane landed in the provincial capital of Central Java smoothly. Umar and Kenzo were excited to visit Ratna and Imron.

Along the way from Bandung to Semarang, Ardi and Aini's feelings were filled with worry. Worried that Ratna would reject Ardi's arrival and not even approve of their relationship.

Ardi drove alone from the airport to Ratna's house. Dika has prepared a car for Ardi with the help of his bodyguard. It took about forty minutes for Ardi, to break through the traffic of Semarang City, to get to Ratna's house.

In one of the villages not too far from the city crowd, Ardi began to slow down the pace of his car. His heart was getting restless. The memory of how Ratna's anger at him used to be, immediately played beautifully in her head.

Until, Ardi's car stopped in front of a house that is quite spacious. He began to park his car neatly. And when that happened, the owner of the house, seemed to open the door to see who was coming.

"Babelle!" Call Umar immediately, as he gets out of the car and sees Ratna in front of the house.

"Oh, Budhe's ponakan came along." Welcome the owner of the house enthusiastically, Ratna certainly.

Ratna immediately approached Umar with definite steps. But his steps suddenly slowed down, when he saw another boy, coming out of the same car door as Umar.

"Kenzo?" Lirih Ratna with a feeling that began to be uncomfortable.

But Umar, who immediately embraced Ratna, distracted Ratna. Ratna also returned the embrace of the people with anxiety. Umar immediately greeted Ratna.

"Budhe, Kenzo's coming too." Umar said happily.

Ratna looked at Umar.

"Hello Budhe Ratna." Sapa Kenzo friendly.

Ratna turned to Kenzo, who was standing behind Umar. He smiled at Kenzo.

"Hello too, Kenzo." Reply Ratna is no less friendly.

Ratna realizes that Kenzo has no faults about what happened in the past. He welcomed Kenzo well. Kenzo immediately extended his hand to greet Ratna.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am." Call Aini, after she gets out of the car and is near Ratna.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Why don't you come by if you want to come?" Sahut Ratna fast.

Aini simply smiled, as natural as possible, for the sake of covering up her restless and anxious heart. Ratna and Aini immediately embraced to release the longing.

And when that happened, Ratna saw the man who had just got out of the car and started walking towards her and Aini. A man he knows enough of.

"Sir Ardi?" Lirih Ratna couldn't believe it.
