Aini's Heart Journey

Ardi's Arrival

The chanting of the holy verses of the Qur'an, echoed beautifully in every corner of the wind. Gently penetrates into the ears of its owners. Flowing with melodious, as a tranquilizer of the hearts that are stricken with sadness.

The atmosphere of Adit's residence was so crowded this morning. What else if not for the sad news that is happening to his family. News of Hadi Subrata's death spread quickly. Business colleagues of the deceased and his only son, immediately visited his residence to express condolences.

Friends Adit and Ratri, also many who come to say condolences. No exception were some teachers and staff from the Umar school.

Adit looks so tangled and tired when welcoming his guests. He was exhausted by several days of accompanying Hadi in the hospital. Until finally, Hadi was declared dead by a doctor early this morning.

Hadi's condition has worsened over the past month. He was saddened every day by missing his favorite grandson, Umar. Not that Hadi did not want Umar to return to his mother, only, he was used to the presence of Umar every day at his side. And when Umar was forcibly picked up by Aini's lawyer, his condition deteriorated slowly.

Until when the trial for custody of Umar was won by Aini, Hadi finally could not hold everything. He was rushed to the hospital that day, and went into a coma for two days. Hadi tried to hold out all this time for Umar.

Hadi was actually quite relieved because Umar returned to Aini. He was more worried that Umar was with his father. Because he knows very well, how the character and nature of Adit. It can get out of control if you are angry. Especially when it comes to Aini.

And the day after Hadi woke up from a coma, his condition worsened. And finally, he breathed his last breath this morning in the hospital.

When the atmosphere of Adit's house is so crowded, a luxury car seems to start parked between the rows of cars. His arrival, enough to grab the attention of all those in that place.

Until, a handsome and sturdy man, looks out with great authority. With a navy batik shirt top, he looks so charming net owners.

"Sir Ardi?" Mumbled Adit after seeing his guest who had just arrived.

Adit immediately approached the man, who was indeed Ardi. Before long, Dika also came out of the side door of the steering wheel.

Actually, not many recognize Ardi. They don't really know, the face of this successful entrepreneur. But, his beautiful face, with a tall and sturdy stature, became a magnet itself attached to his body.

"Who is that? Very handsome."

"Eh, there's a handsome Babang!"

"Yes God! Dong wants to be his wife! So the stash is not papa either."

"Whose artist is that?"

Some applause from the guests present, echoed in the eardrums of some other guests. Making those who are unaware of Ardi's presence, turn their eyes towards where Ardi is now.

Some people who recognized the figure of Ardi, immediately stopped their activities. They immediately approached Ardi to greet him. Including the owner of the house.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Adit." Ardi said sincerely, when shaking hands with Adit.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you for coming to my house." Adit replied no less sincere.

"Come, Mother! Let's see akung!"

The voice of a boy, sniffed into Adit's sense of hearing. The voice that he recognized so well, immediately distracted Adit.

"Missy?"

Adit immediately approached his son who was a few meters away from him because it was blocked by some people who wanted to greet Ardi.

Umar soon realized the presence of Adit who walked up to him. He who was pulling Aini's hand to walk faster, immediately inching closer to Aini's body tightly. And that made Adit aware of Aini's presence in that place.

Adit immediately stopped his steps exactly two meters in front of Aini. His face that looked happy because he heard Umar's voice, suddenly turned so upset and angry.

"Why did you come here? Get you out of here! You murderer!" Hardik Adit hard.

Adit forgot that he was in a public place. Many people must have heard and witnessed what the stone alone did. No exception Ardi and Dika.

Aini was stunned by Adit's words. He stopped his steps for a moment, with Umar still so tightly clutching him.

"I just want to be filial, Mas. Umar also wanted to see his grandfather for last." Answer Aini gently.

"Here's my son, same Dad!" Rayu Adit to Umar, extending his hand.

Umar immediately shook his head.

"You don't want to see me?" Persuade Adit again.

"Come, Mother! Let's see akung!" Whine of Umar again.

"Let's kid, same Dad look at me!" Sahut Adit immediately.

"Umar wants to be the same mother." Reply Umar lirih.

"Aren't you the same Dad, mama and uti? Yuk!" Rayu Adit again.

"Come, Mother!"

"Dear, yuk!" Aini answered while she fell on Umar.

Umar nodded.

"Don't you dare put your foot in my house! Or I don't hesitate to make you regret it. Get out of here!" Hardik Adit is back.

Umar, who had relaxed his embrace to his mother, hugged her back so tightly. He remembered how his father would sometimes scold him so hard if he made a mistake. And it freaked him out.

Aini realized Umar's attitude. He rubbed gently, the head of his son.

"Yes, Honey. Relax!" Aini soft speech.

"Sorry, Mr. Adit. Aini's coming with me." Sela Ardi suddenly.

Everyone who recognized Ardi, was surprised to hear his words. They were unexpected, the widower who was famous for his firm attitude, clearly defended a woman. A woman whose appearance is so simple.

Adit and Aini immediately turned to Ardi.

"Here come here with me. We want to take Umar to see his grandfather." Obviously Ardi was short.

"Are you not wrong, Mr Ardi?" Cibir Adit's.

"What's wrong, sir?" Ask Ardi doesn't understand.

"This woman, this woman does not know herself. A sly woman who only cares about herself. Cheap lady." Accuse Adit without hesitation.

"So, speak to you, Mr. Adit!" Reply Ardi firmly.

Adit was shocked by Ardi's defense. Adit then turned back to Aini.

"Looks, I know how you can afford those two good lawyers. You must have seduced Mr. Ardi, right? Or maybe you sold yourself to him?" Accuse Adit again.

"Get me talking, Mom! There's Umar here. And don't accuse Mr. Ardi like that!" Answer Aini firmly.

"Curtain! A holy pretentious. Don't you know, Mr. Ardi is also famous for his lifestyle surrounded by women?" Adit Syndir.

Aini began to get annoyed with all of Adit's words.

"What's wrong with my lifestyle surrounded by so many women, Mr Adit? Isn't lifestyle a choice?" Reply Ardi casually.

"And one more thing. Aini didn't seduce or sell herself to me to pay my two good lawyers. He paid a lot for it." Imbuh Ardi's.

"You seem to have been incited by this selfless woman's words, Mr. Ardi." Sahut Adit relax.

Ardi tried to hold back his emotions. He was actually already very upset with all the accusations Adit had on Aini. But, he was still aware, if he was in the general tempar at the moment.

Ardi let out a long breath. He then looked at Aini. And without a cue or excuse, Ardi pulled Aini's body with his right hand, and held it gently.

Everyone who saw it, widened their eyes.

"Yes, you're right Mr. Adit. I've been instigated by Aini. I want to make her my wife. Do you mind?" Reply Ardi casually.

"You shouldn't mind, right, Mr Adit? Because he's just your ex-wife." Imbuh Ardi with a smile and raise his eyebrows.
