Aini's Heart Journey

Madu

Morning is back. The sun warms the cold heart again. Not because of the cold night that greeted him, but because of everything he faced on his way.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Aini and Umar with Ratri and his parents, came to Ratmini's house. Ratmini was surprised by their arrival this morning. Although Ratri and his family have been used to visiting Ratmini's house for many reasons, Ratmini felt that something was not right from their arrival this morning. A mother's feelings are always more sensitive.

Ratmini immediately held her granddaughter who a few days ago stayed at her house. Aini immediately prepared a drink and snack at her mother's house for her guests.

"What's wrong with you, Ratri? Why did you do that to him?" Angered Ratmini after Arif said what was the reason for coming to her house.

Ratri's family came to Ratmini's house to say what had happened. They felt really bad for Aini and her mother. Because considering how valuable Aini's help used to be to Ratri, and now even replied with something that felt inappropriate.

"Already Ma'am'! Don't be mad at Ma'am Aini!" Pinta Aini while holding back her tears.

Ratri bowed in. He wanted to express what Aini had told him last night, but he had promised Aini that he would not tell anyone.

Ratmini turned to her daughter whose eyes were already red and teary. He immediately grabbed her inside. Aini was finally unable to hold back the tears that had been pooling in her eyelids since earlier.

"Sorry Mom'." Aini lirih.

Heni's heart could not see the scene before his eyes. But he also had to hold back his anger on his own daughter. Heni finally got out of his chair and walked out of Ratmini's house for a moment. He poured out all the feelings in his heart with his tears.

Arif let his wife calm down. He could only endure the shame of his daughter's actions in front of Ratmini at this moment.

After a while, the women returned calmer.

"Go back to this house Nduk, whenever you want! Mom's door is always open for you." Said Ratmini who deeply understood Aini's current feelings.

Aini simply nodded and smiled to cover her bitter heart.

After speaking, Ratmini's guests said goodbye. They will take Aini home, as well as to negotiate some things that need to be negotiated with the Adit family.

Aini had already informed Adit about the planned arrival of the Ratri family to his house. Adit had already informed both of his parents about it.

"We received the proposal at Aini's request." Honestly Arif when he had gathered with Adit and his family in Adit's own house.

Hadi and Adit turned to Aini who was busy feeding her son's cake. They looked at Aini with guilt. As Suharti, just moaning did not respond to Arif's honest words.

"Remember Dit! We'll keep an eye on your household. Aini is also our daughter. Once you hurt him and don't do them justice, we won't hesitate to take them all away from you." Threatening Heni hard.

"Adit will try its best, ma'am'." Adit pasrah replied.

After much deliberation, it was finally decided that Adit and Ratri would get married one more week. It was closed and very simple. It was all done in anticipation if it turned out, Ratri got pregnant soon after that night.

No one knows what we're going to face. But rest assured, all of that is indeed God outlined for us, so that we can become a better person. God always knows what is best for us.

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

Eight o'clock in the morning. The rain started today. The gray cloud that has been spoiled since yesterday afternoon is still reluctant to let the warmth of the sun reach the earth.

Like Aini's feelings these few days. Single-minded. A simple word but sometimes, it feels so hard to do it. And that's what Aini is doing.

Aini is trying sincerely to share her husband with her honeymoon starting this afternoon. Because this morning, Adit will officially make Ratri his second wife.

It's not easy, it's not easy for Aini. Moreover, he knows very well, what is the secret between Adit and Ratri. Although later he will bear as Adit's first wife, but he knows, Ratri still has his own place in Adit's heart to this day.

"AH!"

That word, echoed beautifully at Ratri's house this morning. Accompanying Aini's tears that immediately slid without permission and wet the blue hood that he wore.

"Titip Umar for a minute, ma'am'! Aini wants to take the phone." Aini said as she wiped her tears and held her vibrating bag and heard a mobile phone ringing inside.

Ratmini also immediately picked up Umar who was watching his father dress up more neat and dashing than usual. The little whiz didn't even understand at all, what was going on around him.

Aini immediately ran to the back garden of Ratri's house. There was a little quieter, as the event was held in the front room. He walked while trying to reach his phone that was ringing.

Aini immediately shifted the screen of her phone and chatted a little while sticking her phone in the ear. And when he reached the backyard, he immediately ran to a slightly hidden corner of the garden. She was crying out there. Crammed with grasses treated by Heni.

Actually, Aini's phone rang not because of a phone call, but because of the alarm he accidentally installed in the clock that coincides with the time of Adit and Ratri. She knew she would not be able to see her husband tie a sacred promise to another woman, even if it was her best friend from childhood. So, Aini deliberately set up that alarm, to make it an excuse to get away from the event venue.

Hadi saw Aini's departure earlier. He also followed her. And he could see, his beloved son-in-law, weeping bitterly after he had a honey.

"I'm sorry Mr. Nduk!" Said Hadi who hugged Aini just like that from the side.

The crying of Aini is becoming. He ended up crying in the arms of his loving father-in-law.

After the dhuhur, Ratri's house had begun to desolate again. Indeed, not many guests are invited today, considering the event is quite sudden. Only a few relatives and close neighbors.

And after Ashar, all went to the house of Adit who was not so far from the house of Ratri. They'll take Ratri to his new home. Yes, Ratri will stay one roof with Aini.

"Remember Ratri! Mama will be watching you! If until you interfere with Aini's right to Adit, Mama does not hesitate to disturb your household." Heni Resolute.

"And you're Dit. If you don't do justice to your wives, I'll step in!" Threaten Heni again.

Adit and Ratri just nodded obediently. They really couldn't say anything at Heni's request.

Towards Maghrib, the guests also say goodbye home. Adit and his new family.

"Oh, yes Ai. Thanks." Thanks." Replied Ratri sungkan.

Aini just smiled. He immediately carried Umar and went to his room. Adit was taking Ratri to his room which Aini had prepared since yesterday.

"Mas!" Call Ratri after he and Adit get to the room.

"What did you call me?" Adit said a little in disbelief.

"You're my husband now. It's not worth it if I just call your name." Honestly Ratri.

Adit smiled too. While Ratri, his face immediately blushed beautifully.

"It feels like a dream. I'm holding your wife's status now." Ratri said after dropping his body on the bed.

"Have you ever dreamed like that?" Goda Adit's.

"Yes, first. But, after I heard you were married to Aini, I dare not dream of that anymore. Because I don't want to disturb the life of my helper." Honestly Ratri.

"When did Aini donate her kidney?" Ask Adit curious.

"One year before I went to Singapore."

"Did Mom and Dad ask for it?"

"No. He voluntarily donated his kidney to me. Papa and Mama had tried to find a kidney donor at the time, but could not go. Mama herself couldn't donate her kidney because she donated one to Grandma when I was very young."

"Oh so is the story."

"Don't you know about that?"

"No. Aini's never told me about it." Honest Adit.

Which woman can tell her husband about another woman. Moreover, if the woman being told that, once had good memories with the husband, which they may not have forgotten.

"I'll be at Aini's for a second!" Pamit Adit while standing from the edge of the bed.

"May I ask you, Mommy?" Prevent Ratri while holding Adit's hand.

"Work what?" Ask Adit gently.

"I'm your wife. You can give me anything. Whatever you give, I'll take it." Ratri replied after he sat opposite Adit on the edge of his bed.

Adit, who was well versed in married life, immediately pulled Ratri's body and landed his lips on Ratri's lips. They were swept away in their first kiss as a couple.

Adit's hand did not stay still, he had traveled around roaring Ratri's body that he had once plucked every inch of his neck. He also began to unbutton Ratri's shirt and began to play two objects that he had played before.

Suddenly, Ratri's phone rang loudly. His activities with his husband stopped. They immediately got up from their position.

"I'll go to Aini's room first!" Pamit Adit after slightly tidying up her appearance.

Ratri nodded. He then grabbed his phone and answered the incoming call.

"Where are you going, honey?" Adit asked frantically when he saw Aini packing some of her clothes and Umar's clothes into the bag.

"To Mother Mas's house, a few days." Answer Aini flat.

"Why didn't you negotiate with me first?" Ask Adit confused.

Because indeed, usually, Aini will ask Adit permission in advance if he will stay at his mother's house for several days.

Aini's voice choked. He recalled what he had just heard from Ratri's room.

Aini had overheard Adit and Ratri's conversation. She even saw her husband making out with his new wife, because the door to Ratri's room was not closed.

Aini initially only intended to ask Adit for permission that he would stay at his mother's house for a few days. But he was treated by something that cut his heart.

"Don't you also have to be fair to Ms Ratri?" Sahut Aini bitter.

"Why do you have to stay for a few days? Is Mom sick again?" Ask Adit confused.

"Let me alone for a while! And it'll also give you time with Ms Ratri to enjoy your newlyweds' days."

Jamb. Adit can't answer. His heart was like being hit by thousands of kilos of precise weight grazing the deepest part of his heart.

That's exactly how it is. The love in the hearts of Adit and Ratri, still stored in their hearts to this day. Moreover, after their meeting a few months ago, the flavor slowly re-bloomed and flourished without any excuse.

And after that night, there was a little hope in Adit and Ratri's heart, that they might be able to re-knit the love together. Although they can not deny, there is Aini among them. Along with the more ferocious old love that re-emerges.

And after Maghrib, Aini also said goodbye to Adit and Ratri. He actually went to Ratmini's house for the next few days.

Adit intends to take Aini to her mother's house, but Aini refuses. Aini chose to drive together with the son who already looks very tired after many events that he went through today.

"Truely, first love may be hard to forget. Moreover, if their love has so many wonderful memories. Then, what about me who's not your first love?" Aini muttered while riding her motorcycle towards her old house.
