Aini's Heart Journey

Honey (Again)

A bright morning. As bright as the sounds of nature that are mutually simple with beauty. It adds to the wonderful atmosphere this morning.

In a house in one corner of Bandung, a woman was preparing to leave the house. He tied up his long black hair so as not to bother him so much.

"You're going to Ardi's house, Di?" Asked a middle-aged woman, who was in the doorway.

"So, Buk. It's just getting ready." Reply to the woman while continuing to tidy up her hair ties.

"Don't drive yourself, you know!" Mother's message.

"No, Buk. Dian asked Mr. Yatno to help nganter." Honestly, the woman stood up from her dressing chair.

"Yes. Ask Mr. Yatno for help too, if at any time your baby contracts! Ask him to take you to the hospital!" Pinta the mother again.

"Yes, Buk. Dian told Mr. Yatno yesterday."

The mother nodded in relief. "Greetings to Ardi's mother. Tell Mama to Ardi's dad, sorry that yesterday couldn't attend their invitation!"

"Yes, Buk. Diane says it."

The mother nodded in understanding.

"Yaudah, Dian's leaving first huh, Buk. Which father, Buk?" Pamit the woman.

"In the backyard. Just fed me fish."

"Dian say goodbye to me first, Buk."

"Yes, sana!"

Two different women of that generation then went to the backyard. There, there was a man sitting on a wooden chair by the edge of the fish pond. He was looking at his fish fighting for food.

The young woman whose stomach has been bloated because of her gestational age has almost entered the day of labor, then say goodbye to a man who is none other than her father. The woman's father suffered a mild stroke several months ago, after being shocked to hear the news of the accident that befell her son-in-law.

Rio Prayogi, husband of Diandra Kinanthi. The woman who is now pregnant and is nearing her delivery day.

Rio and Dian have been married since ten years ago. Rio and Dian have done a lot of effort to get a baby soon. But it was only in the tenth year of their marriage that they were entrusted by God to have a baby.

And just when Dian was five months pregnant, Rio had an accident. Rio who works as a pilot, finally fell when the plane he was piloting suffered an engine failure while not long in the air. The plane eventually crashed and exploded. All passengers were not safe. Including the entire crew.

And because of that, Dian's father had a heart attack until he had a mild stroke until now. Dian also finally had to fight for twins who were in the womb alone. Because Rio is an orphan and he is an only child.

Dian is a culinary entrepreneur. It has three fast food stalls. Actually it was a venture pioneered by his father first. But, when managed by Dian, a food stall that was once only one, now has two branches.

It took about thirty minutes for Dian to get to his destination. Ardi's House. Ardi and Dian have been friends since childhood. Dian's father was Rama's best friend since he was in school. And the friendship between the two men, declined to their son.

After arriving at Ardi's house, Dian is greeted by Inah. Inah, who has also worked as a domestic assistant at the Ardi residence, is used to Dian's arrival. Moreover, earlier he had also been asked by Ardi, to send Dian to the backyard if he had arrived.

"Mbak Dian has been waiting for Ardi in the back." Hedge.

"Yes, Bik." Friendly Dian.

Dian also walked casually towards the backyard of Ardi's house. And it turns out, Ardi also approached him to make sure nothing bad happened to Dian. Because Ardi knew, Dian was pregnant.

"We talked in the back, huh?" Welcome Ardi.

Dian nodded in agreement. "Where's your wife?"

"New in the room. It will also come down. Comeing! Careful road!" Said Ardi attentively.

Ardi also reflexively raised his hand behind Dian's shoulder. He did not want, if something happened to Dian and he was not ready to help him. Dian is like a brother to Ardi.

"How areyou? Ardi asked, after he and Dian sat down on the chair.

"Yes, this is how it is, Di. Thank God you are always with me. Thank you." Thank you." Dian replied a little sad.

Ardi just nodded. "Where?"

"Yes, I know. But, I can't just decide, Di." Answer Ardi gently.

"Same dad mom said, if you're in charge, they let it. But if no one else can, Di." Said Diandra while rubbing her already large stomach.

"Yes, you said last night. But, I also have to tell Aini first, Di. I don't want to do that without his permission." Answer Ardi.

Diandra. He understood Ardi's intentions.

"I'm married now. Some things I need to negotiate with my wife now. Moreover, your request will obviously be directly related to Aini. So, I have to tell him first." Ardi Obviously.

"Have you not said it yet?" Ask the guest.

"Yet. I want to introduce you first. So, I haven't said it." Relax Ardi.

"No!" Screeched Aini suddenly.

PYARR. The sound echoed throughout the house. Surprised everyone in the house. Ardi and Diandra are no exception

"Astaghfirullah's. What'sthat?" Ardi muttered while standing up.

"What is that, Di?" Diandra asked in surprise.

Ardi then immediately walked towards the door. He saw trays and broken glass and glass jars strewn about. He immediately spread his eyes. And saw Aini running up the stairs.

"Here?" Ardi was confused.

"Why, Di?" Asked Dian who was already standing next to Ardi.

"What's up, Mom?" Ask Inah a little panting after running.

"Please clean up, Bik!" Pinta Ardi fast.

Inah immediately searched for what Ardi meant. "Astaghfirullah's. Aini Ma'am? Aini's mom isn't papa, is she?"

"Just a minute, Di! You sit down, yeah!" Connect Ardi.

"Yes." Yeah." Brief Dian, with a slightly confused feeling.

Ardi immediately walked into the house to chase after Aini who directly entered back into her room. His mind was quite confused by what had just happened.

While Inah, immediately invite Dian to sit back and wait for Ardi. He also immediately took a broom and mop to clean the broken glass and scattered food and drinks.

Ardi felt a little less good when he saw Aini had run up the stairs. But he tried to cover it up from Dian. And when he opened the room door, Aini was seen sleeping on the bed with her back to the door. He approached her immediately.

"What's wrong with you, honey?" Anxious Ardi, because it was clearly visible from Aini's body movements, he was crying.

Ardi then sat on the edge of the bed, while cleaning Aini's tears that had soaked her face. In fact, Aini's face had already turned red at this moment.

"You why? Is there a problem? Tell me, honey!" Persuade the gentle Ardi.

Instead of stopping crying and answering Ardi, Aini's cry became even more. The tears are flowing even more. His eyes closed so tightly to hold back what was stirring in his heart. To make his body vibrate even more violently because it holds back his crying voice.

"What's wrong with you, honey?"

Ardi grew even more panicked, because Aini did not want to open her eyes or answer her question in the slightest. Aini was crying non-stop.

Yes, Aini is too sad and afraid if Ardi marries his friend who just visited the house. The shadow of her past, about how she was pitted against by her husband, became the most frightening thing for Aini right now.

At first, everything looks good. Early on when Aini had honey, Ratri was nice to her. But over time, Ratri's attitude changed to her. Moreover, Ratri was also loved by his in-laws first. Which incidentally, did not like Aini from the beginning.

And now, there's a woman who is pregnant and holds Ardi responsible. And only Ardi gets the blessing of the woman's parents to take responsibility. And in fact, Ardi also seemed very attentive to him.

"Must I be mocked again, O God?" Inner Aini was poignant, along with her tears that continued to flow nonstop.
