Aini's Heart Journey

Recognition

"Mama?" Said Ardi in disbelief, when he found a figure that surprised him.

"You're akin Aini? Why is she in your room and not even wearing a hijab? What are you guys doing?" The woman asked in full search, while walking up to Ardi.

Ardi tried hard to gather his consciousness after just waking up. He tried to convince himself that the woman who walked towards him was indeed his mother, Niken.

Ardi just wiped his face. He immediately turned to the woman he had been guarding all night. And until now, it still hasn't been realized.

"Mama's aircrew!" Snapped up that woman, who was indeed Niken.

Ardi turned to Niken. He was still not sure that it was his mother. Because it is, it is still very early morning. Or rather, it was still early morning. And last night, her mother hadn't come home. But at this moment, he could suddenly appear just like that.

"Is this really Mama?" Tanya Ardi couldn't believe it.

"Then, who else? A ghost? You're gonna curse Mama to die?" Niken replied upset.

"When do you come home?"

"He's back with her." Niken's lips are getting upset.

Ardi momentarily turned to look at his bed. He immediately pulled Niken's hand out of the room. Niken also resigned to follow where Putraaya steps take him.

Ardi took Niken out of the room. He did not want to, Niken's shrill voice, teasing Aini. He also closed the door of his room, so that the conversation that does not know what it will be like, was not heard by Aini who had not opened her eyes.

"Don't be hard, Ma! Aini hasn't been conscious since last night." Said Ardi, after letting go of Niken's hand.

Niken rounded both his eyes.

"You guys?" Accuse Niken of shock.

"Mom don't think of the distance!" Deny Ardi fast.

"Then?"

"Evening Ardi found out Aini fainted above in the rain." Obviously Ardi was short.

"Fainted?" Niken's birthday doesn't believe it.

"Yes, Ma. Yesterday Aini was raining on the road, and had a fever after that. And last night, not knowing how, he was able to faint after Ardi chatted with him for a while. Ardi found it under the rain, after Ardi discussed some things with Dika."

"Then?"

"Say I checked it last night. He said, wait until Aini wakes up. This morning, he'll be back here to check on her again."

Niken breathed. There was a feeling of relief and sadness hearing his son's words just now.

"Please help Ardi, Ma!" Whine Ardi suddenly.

Niken stared strangely at her son. Not usually the only son of his puppet behaved like that.

"What help?" Sahut Niken flat.

"Please tell Aini that Mama changed her clothes last night!" Pinta Ardi is sure.

Niken immediately frowned. He was trying to understand his son's strange request. Both of his hands were immediately grasped by his son, with a hearty and hopeful gaze.

"What do you mean?" Ask Niken to relax.

"Later when Aini wakes up, if Aini asks who changed her clothes last night, please tell her, if Mama changed it!" Ardi Obviously.

"Kok Mama's? Mama just came. Besides, who changed Aini's clothes last night? You?" Search Niken.

"Yeah, yes Ma. Yes, Ma? Ardi please, Ma!" Pinta Ardi without hesitation.

Niken speechless. "You're okay with him, right?"

"No, Ma. Ardi is fine Aini." Ardi replied quickly, shaking his head, and raising his hand while showing the letter v with two fingers.

"Stupid you, Di! Why are you okay, Di? If you're anything, Mama could have a ghost again." Inner Niken was a little disappointed.

"Why not ask for help mbok Sri or Tika?" Ask Niken again.

"Mbok Sri has not felt well since before Mama left for Malang, right? Ardi doesn't feel good, if you have to wake him up at night." Honestly Ardi.

"Now?"

"Mama knows for herself, Tika same injustice Ardi. Ardi is lazy to defend his behavior, Ma." Replied Ardi a little upset.

Ardi recalled something when Niken mentioned the name of her son's old nanny. He tried to suppress something that suddenly rumbled to fill his heart.

"You want to lie to Aini?" Cecar Niken's.

"Ardi will say it later, Ma. Ardi was afraid that, if he knew the truth now, his condition would deteriorate." Obviously Ardi was full of anxiety.

Niken speechless. He thought about what his son said. He also agreed with Ardi. But, it's not good, if you have to cover something from a person who doesn't know anything like Aini.

"Yes already. But, you must tell Aini the truth after her condition improves!" Pinta Niken firmly.

"Yes, Ma." Reply Ardi happily.

"Yes, Mama get off first. Mama's gonna make breakfast for you." Pamit Niken's.

"Good thanks, Ma." Said Ardi Haru, hugging his mother tightly.

"Yes, yes." Niken replied, replying to Ardi's embrace.

Niken came down after they embraced. Niken actually already knew, if Aini passed out last night. He's with Rama, actually going home this morning. But due to a bad premonition, and his son could not be contacted last night, he tried to call Dika. From Dika-lah Niken knew, that Aini fainted.

And after his night worship, Niken finally left to return to Surabaya. Because actually, Prapto also worried about his wife who has not felt well since his departure yesterday.

While in the most spacious room in the house, a pair of eyelids that had been closed since last night, began to open slowly. A simple thing, but it feels so heavy for the owner of the eyelids. The other one is Aini.

"My head is so dizzy." His mind, while slowly familiarizing his two eyeballs with the circumstances around.

Aini glanced to the right and to the left. Something was different and felt strange.

"I where? But, it doesn't feel foreign." Mumbled.

Aini started to look slowly. He began to realize where he was, after finding a photo on the nightstand. Photo of Ardi with Kenzo.

"This is Ardi's mas room?" Aini muttered confusedly.

"You're conscious, Ni?"

The voice of a man, echoed beautifully throughout the room. He looked over to the source of the voice. A man with his firm steps, walked towards her with a happy smile.

"Mas Ardi?" Aini lirih.

Ardi immediately sat on the edge of the bed, right next to Aini's body. Aini's a little shuffled.

"When did you realize? I'm sorry, I talked to my mom outside. How are you doing?" Ask Ardi for attention.

Aini silently did not answer. He was still trying to gather his consciousness. He still does not understand the situation at the moment. Moreover, his head still felt throbbing quite hard.

"Why are you silent? Is anyone sick?"

Ardi was so anxious because he did not get a response from Aini. Ardi also reflexes to hold Aini's hand. Until accidentally, pressing the infusion needle stuck in Aini's hand. Aini also spontaneously moaned.

Aini looked at her painful hand. He was surprised, there was an infusion needle there. He then followed the direction of the infusion hose, whose infusion bag hung on the corner of the bed.

"Why," said Aini.

"You passed out last night on the roof and rained. The mill that put the infusion in for you. He'll be back to check on you." Clear Ardi soft.

"I fainted?"

Aini doesn't remember, if she fainted last night. He tried to remember what happened, but instead made his head hurt even more. Aini also grimaced in pain. His hands reflexively held his head. And then she realized that she was not wearing a hijab.

"Why you?" Ardi asked worriedly, as Aini grimaced in pain.

Aini's expression changed instantly, when she realized there was no covering cloth on her head. He tried to convince himself, by raising both his hands to touch his head.

"My veil?" Panicked words.

Ardi suddenly clumsily due to Aini's reaction. She was a little confused to reveal that she removed her hijab last night.

And while still in confusion, Aini began to realize, there was another one with her clothes. He did not wear gray clothes, as he currently wears. He then peeked under his blanket.

"Why, why, why, this,,??" Aini stared one by one at the strangeness in her.

Aini was completely confused by everything she found. He didn't even know what to say and how to ask Ardi.

"Calm down! I'll explain it to you!" Pinta Ardi was soft, while holding both of Aini's arms.

Aini looked at Ardi. He doesn't know how to deal with the current situation. She was wet, Ardi clearly saw her without a hijab. What about the clothes he was wearing?

"Mas Ardi, no,,?" Say Aini stammering and getting smoother.

"Calm down! I'll explain slowly!" Pinta Ardi is a little pushy.

Aini's heart suddenly felt countless aches. He did not expect, would be in a situation he never imagined. His tears flowed without excuse, passing through both temples.

A pair of soft, burly hands, immediately wiped the tears without permission. Sweeps with care and tenderness.

"Don't cry, please!" Ardi said regretfully.

Aini's a little bit of a whim. He tried to hold back his tears, so as not to pass through his throne.

"Sorry, I took off your hijab last night." Honestly Ardi, with a sad look at Aini.

Aini's heart suddenly grew more and more painful. He did not think, Ardi who took off her hijab. And that's without his permission.

"I'm sorry, I didn't ask your permission first. Because you were unconscious last night. And last night, all your clothes were wet from the rain." Honestly Ardi is getting sad.

Guilt has struck Ardi's heart. He didn't really want to do that either, but the situation forced him a little bit last night.

Aini's body suddenly limp and grow weak. His hands just sprawled without energy. His mind began to drift in an uncertain direction.

"If Mas Ardi were to remove my hijab, then, who would replace my clothes? Did Ardi do it too?" Ask Aini worriedly.

Ardi fell silent. His face that was staring at Aini attentively, suddenly bowed so deeply. In fact, that burly hand, slowly broke away from the woman's face, which had already made her so anxious.

"Thuu," Ardi had trouble answering Aini's question.
