Aini's Heart Journey

Disillusioned

"Follow Aini! Make sure he gets home safely!"

That sentence, was heard softly along the hallway of the school classroom. But, that sentence also slipped quite surely in Mala's ears.

Mala was walking along with Ardi to return to the hall, after Aini's return. Mala immediately turned to Ardi who was calling someone while continuing to walk on foot. Mala's feelings instantly became calmer after hearing Ardi's words.

On the other hand, Aini was feeling her heartache. Which heart is not sad, when a loved one, is treated harshly by someone who should have acted more tenderly on him?

Aini's heart was not calm all the way home, considering Adit's treatment of Umar earlier. While enduring the pain in his leg due to a sprained, he rode his motorcycle with tears that he could not contain. He feels so guilty.

And because of her mind that was in a state of turmoil, Aini did not realize, there was someone who was following her since then. He's Dika, Ardi's personal assistant.

"Mr Aini, get home safely, sir." Said Dika when his phone connection was connected, with eyes that could not be separated from Aini who was inserting his motorbike into the home page of the employer.

Dika also immediately left the house that doubles as a small business place belonging to the Goddess. He returned to school to continue his work.

When he arrived at the Dewi's house, he was greeted with a series of questions from the employer, who immediately worried about Aini's condition. Although Aini has not long been a household assistant to Dewi, but she already considers Aini like her family. He would be very worried if something bad happened to Aini.

Aini also told me what happened at the school. The reaction of the Goddess was beyond Aini's expectations. He expressed his frustration at Adit for treating Umar harshly. He was even very anxious for Aini because he could not bring Umar home with him.

Indeed, not everything goes the way we want. Not everything we expected would be done soon. But, there must be a time where it will all be realized.

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

The sound of the rain, accompanying the sun began his task. It blocks the warmth of the morning, which the soul-owners look forward to. Makes the taste, feel cooler than usual.

Kenzo woke up in high spirits this morning. Although the sun was not as bright as his mood, it did not make him puff up the look of his handsome face.

"That's as happy as it was this morning?" Sapa Niken who really understands the expression of grandchildren is just wayangnga.

"Yes dong, Oma. Today is Wednesday, you will come to school. But, yesterday Kenzo hasn't ordered anything to make you go to school." Reply Kenzo enthusiastically.

Niken immediately turned to Ardi, who was taking his breakfast the next morning. Ardi, who also heard his son's words, immediately turned to Kenzo, who was drinking a small amount of warm milk.

"Mother? Whose mother, Kenzo?" Tanya Ardi flat.

"Aini Aunt, Pa. Papa forgot? Kenzo told me a story yesterday. Kenzo now calls Aini's aunt, mother. Kayak Umar." Kenzo replied a little disappointed.

Ardi listened carefully to every sentence Umar said. He actually remembers that very much. It's just that something felt weird when Kenzo said that earlier.

Ardi was actually very attentive to his son. He always monitored the development of his son from his mother. Niken always told Ardi plainly what Kenzo always told and did.

Kenzo actually has often told about Aini to his grandmother, grandfather and father. But, they did not think, if the proximity of Kenzo and Aini had been very far.

"Oh yeah, Papa forgot." Lying Ardi while slightly laughing to comfort her son.

"What the hell?" Kenzo Grous.

"I'm sorry Papa, honey!" Said Ardi, gently rubbing the head of Kenzo, who was enjoying the sandwich.

"But Pa, why was Umar's father evil yesterday?" Ask Kenzo plain.

"Wicked how does Kenzo mean?" Sela Niken's.

"When there was an event yesterday, Oma. Kan Oma also see, Umar's father is evil with Umar the same mother." Clear plain kenzo.

All speechless.

"They're just pretending, honey. Playing soap opera again maybe. Kayak soap operas that often Oma watch it lhoo. Sometimes there are bad ones too." Niken answered suddenly.

"Oh, that. So, yesterday Umar's father was just pretending?"

"Yes dong. Cook Umar's father, same evil Umar?"

Kenzo finally nodded his head. He knows quite well what his grandmother said.

Ardi and Rama stared at the couple's grandmother and granddaughter who were talking. Ardi's mind floated on the incident last week. How a mother is treated unfairly by the father of her son.

"What did Mr. Adit mean at that time? Umar was sold by his mother? How could? While from Mala's story, Aini's custody was taken by Mr. Adit. Which is right?" Inner Ardi between his meals.

Ardi still remembered Adit's words when he was arguing with Aini. At first Ardi ignored Adit's words, but he only felt awkward this morning, after Kenzo asked about Adit's bad attitude to Umar and Aini.

After finishing breakfast, Kenzo left for school as usual. He was sent by a driver who pretended to be his father.

As the school entrance bell rang, Kenzo searched for Umar's whereabouts. And apparently, he didn't enter today. For the reason that he is sick. That's what homeroom teacher Kenzo said.

And again. When the break arrives, Kenzo must get back to being lonely. Because Aini too, apparently also did not come to school today. Kenzo was suddenly gloomy. He even asked for permission to go home early because he suddenly felt lazy to go to school today.

The school contacted Niken to let him know that Kenzo wanted to go home early. Niken immediately asked the driver to pick her up as usual.

And when he got home, Kenzo immediately told him why he wanted to go home sooner today. Niken immediately told Ardi about it.

"Find out all the information about Aini! Moreover, her past and how could custody of her son move into her father's hands." Pinta Ardi on Dika, who was standing straight in front of his desk.

"Good, sir." Dika obediently.

It's not hard for Ardi to know all that. His surname is well known by many. Moreover, since he managed all his father's business very well.

On the other hand, Aini was busy with her work in the kitchen. He was a little sobbing, as he could not see his two sons today. His tears have been faithfully with him ever since.

"You didn't go to Umar's school, Ni?" Ask the curious Goddess.

"No, Mom." Answer Aini briefly.

"Why? You're not feeling well? Your leg still hurts?" Ask the Goddess of Attention.

"Thank God, I am healthy. My legs are also no longer sick, after the same massage Mr. Galih yesterday." Honest Aini.

"Continue?"

"I was afraid that Umar would be scolded again by his father if he was caught meeting me again later."

"Yes you defend dong, Ni!"

The goddess breathed her breath. He was sure, Aini's speech was true. Given, Aini is Adit's ex-wife, so she knows better how Adit is.

"Yes, be patient!" Said the Goddess while rubbing Aini's back.

Aini just nodded.

The goddess understood how Aini felt at this moment. He knew how tough Aini's life was to this day, just because of Adit's very tough attitude.

Then, why didn't Umar go to school today?

Umar was actually the same as Kenzo this morning. He was always happy to welcome Wednesday. Especially if it was not because he would meet his real mother at school later.

But, it all vanished unnoticed this morning, after he finished his breakfast.

"You can't go to school today! I sent a license to the school." Adit said after he was also done with his breakfast.

"Why, Dad?" Umar asked confused.

"Dad said no, you can't!" Firmly Adit a little hard.

"But Umar wants to go to school." Sahut Umar insisted.

"You dare to argue with Dad now?" Threaten Adit fast.

Umar's heart was terrified. He remembered how his father would treat him if he was angry. Umar immediately ran to his room and cried.

Hadi tried to rebuke his son, so as not to be too hard on Umar. Because after all, Umar was his son who he had to take care of and take good care of.

But that's all, unheeded by Adit. He was still overwhelmed by his frustration at being cheated by Aini's encounter with Umar at school. He was also very disappointed in Ratri, for allowing Aini to go to Umar's school, without his knowledge.

The next morning, Ardi had already received all the information about Aini that Dika had managed to obtain. He even knew the reason why Umar's custody could fall into Adit's hands.

"Take this lawyer out of our law firm! For him, can no longer work at any law firm or even set up his own legal consulting firm!" Pinta Ardi is firm.

"Good, sir." Answer Dika obediently.

Dika, who has long been Ardi's personal assistant, has been preparing for it since yesterday. He was very understanding, his superiors were very unable to see the fraud and injustice in his law firm. That's Ardi.

The man with the age of four heads, immediately contacted his subordinates to immediately carry out the request of the owner of the law firm. He also quickly processed everything related to the termination of work relationship with one of his lawyers who were in Jogja.

As the sun has slipped to the west, Ardi has just completed all of his work agenda today.

"We're going to Aini's house!" Pinta Ardi from the back seat.

"Good, sir."

Dika immediately forwarded his car to the address of the house where Aini worked.

When he arrived, Ardi was a little hesitant to move his legs. But, something strong, pushed him to step foot toward a pulse counter in the corner of the yard.

"Come, Sir! Find what?" Ask a woman who is sitting behind the storefront, Goddess.

"Is this Aini's house?" Tanya Ardi hides.

"Yes?" The Goddess does not believe.

Wh why? Because all this time, there's never been, men looking for Aini. Moreover, the man before him looked extremely handsome. With her work suit still neat, tall body and sturdy, making Dewi quite surprised by her question.

"Sorry, does Aini work here?" Rework Ardi.

"Oh, yes. But, briefly! I've seemed to have seen you. Have we met?" Honest Goddess, while remembering the face of the man before her.

"I think not yet."

"Yes already. You who?"

"I'm Ardi."

"Ah yes. You're Mr. Ardiansyah El Baraja, right? Owner of MK Construction." The Goddess soon.

Ardi just smiled. The goddess immediately closed her gaping mouth in surprise.

"Is Aini around?" Asked Ardi, breaking the Goddess' shock.

"Oh, yes, there is, there is. I'll call you for a minute." Sahut Dewi nervous.

The goddess immediately ran into the house. He even shouted to call Aini. While Ardi, waiting in front of his counter.

"Ni, you're looking for Ardiansyah El Baraja." Said the Goddess enthusiastically.

"Who is that, Mom? But how does it not seem foreign?" Ask Aini confused.

"Owner of Umar's school foundation." Answer the Goddess.

"What's? Why is Mr Ardi looking for me?" Ask Aini to panic. He was afraid that Adit would report it and the school would take action.

"I don't know, Ni. You meet me first!" Goddess Advice.

"I'm scared, Mom."

"Fear why? That's a handsome guy." The Goddess relaxed.

"What if Mas Adit reported to the school about yesterday, Mom? Keep going, the school takes action." Aini said in panic.

"Yes, too."

The goddess who was excited because she met a person as great as Ardi, suddenly panicked and anxious because of Aini's speech. He was also afraid, if something happened with Aini later.

"Where, Mom?" Ask Aini to panic.
