Aini's Heart Journey

Puzzle-filled

Instinct flows so gently upon the power of the Divine. Giving a sign to the taste, to be more sensitive to what might happen.

Like a mother's instinct. They can be very sensitive to what is around them. Whether it's good or bad.

And that's what brought Niken home faster. His instincts lead him to an unusual taste, until he realizes something is going on in his house.

And this is where Niken is now, at his home, in Surabaya.

"Arr, on."

Niken's call came to a halt immediately, shortly after she entered her son's room. He stopped exactly one step after entering Ardi's room. His steps stopped because he saw his son was trying to calm the woman he guarded overnight.

"If Mas Ardi were to remove my hijab, then, who would replace my clothes? What, Mas Ardi did 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.

Aini and Niken wait for an answer from Ardi with their own feelings. Niken was ready to put his foot back on, but he broke it.

"Sorry, Ni." Reply Ardi lirih.

Aini's tears immediately slid without excuse. His heart was broken when he heard Ardi's short answer. What he had been guarding all this time, it turned out to have been seen by a man who did not even have his mahram status.

Want Aini does not believe Ardi's words, but Ardi's attitude, makes the doubt weaker. He knew his condition last night might be so bad that Ardi had to take off his clothes without permission. But isn't there another woman in this house.

Aini threw her gaze away from the man who was sitting beside her. He could not accept the fact that his body was stripped last night by the man.

"But I don't see anything, Ni. I did change your clothes, but I covered your body with a blanket." Honestly Ardi without hesitation.

Aini turned to Ardi again with a look of disbelief.

"Only, just your shoulders and upper chest were unintentionally visible, because the blanket was pulled down as I removed your gown." Imbuh Ardi is ashamed.

Jamb. Ah, Aini's heart was filled with feelings that were hard to pin down. He did not know how to deal with the current situation. His tears are flowing.

Want Aini angry, because Ardi has been presumptuous to remove all his clothes without his permission. Ardi even had time to see the shoulders and upper chest of Aini. But he also cannot ignore Ardi's good intentions, who would have wanted to help him last night.

What about Niken? He smiled proudly at his son, who dared to confess his actions. Without lying first. Although, he did not know, how Aini's reaction would be.

"Aren't there mbok Sri and mbak Tika, Mas?" Tanya Aini resigned.

"Ardi, here, you're conscious, Ni?" Said Niken casually, while walking towards Ardi's bed.

Niken returns to Ardi's room to bring her warm drink to her son and her instant hijab to Aini.

Ardi and Aini immediately looked over. They immediately fell silent. Aini was surprised to see Niken being there at the moment.

"Mom Niken? You're back yet?" Sapa Aini couldn't believe it.

Aini tried to get up from her position. He was not feeling good to Niken, because he was in his son's room with his current condition. But, he still had difficulty getting up on his own, because his body was still feverish and his head was still dizzy.

Ardi tries to help Aini, but is rejected slowly by Aini.

"Not to get up! Your condition is still not good." Pinta Niken, when she saw Aini had trouble waking up.

Aini looked confusedly at Niken. Aini finally returned to sleep, because her head felt heavy. Ardi immediately stood up and let Niken sit near Aini, after putting the tray he brought on the table.

"Ardi told me about your condition earlier. I just arrived too. Actually, I was planning on going home this morning. But, because my premonition is not good, and Mr. Prapto kept the same mind mbok Sri who was not feeling well, it was two o'clock we departed from Malang." Honestly Niken, after sitting on the edge of the bed.

Aini looked at Ardi for a moment.

"Please forgive Ardi for taking off all your clothes last night. He just wants to help you." Pinta Niken was sincere, while grabbing Aini's hand.

Aini tried to read Niken's face.

"Mama!" Call Ardi a little spoiled.

"Why? Isn't that what it is?" Cibir Niken relax.

"Oh yeah, that, Mama brought you some warm tea, Di. Mama doesn't know that Aini is conscious. Later, let Mama ask Tika to bring warm tea for Aini here." Say Niken, looking at the table.

Ardi and Aini turned to the table. Ardi immediately walked over to the warm tea brought by his mother. He immediately grabbed it.

"Drink first! Make your body warmer." Pinta Ardi, while thrusting the tea glass at Aini while half crouching.

Aini looked confusedly at Ardi. But, there was a sense of happiness approaching his heart. Happy to be treated gently by a man whose name has been etched slowly in the recesses of his heart. Niken smiled and saw her son.

"You also have code." Batin Niken's.

"That's your warm tea, Mas. Ardi just drink! I'll go downstairs later to make it myself." Reject Aini.

Aini's feelings of disappointment and sadness due to Ardi's treatment last night, slightly distracted by Ardi and Niken's attitude.

"Your condition is not good, Ni." Kayu Ardi's.

"What Ardi said, Ni. Drink first! And, put this on!" Timpal Niken, while giving up the hijab that he brought earlier.

Aini looked at the middle-aged woman beside her in astonishment. How could he be treated so special by the owner of this house? Aini forgot for a moment, that she was indeed special to the house owner's family.

"Thank you, Mom." Aini replied, while receiving the hijab from Niken.

"And now, drink the warm tea! Today, you rest in Ardi's room! It's warmer here than in your room." Pinta Niken's.

"But Ma'am,,"

"Nothing but! In your room, you will also have trouble putting the infusion, right?" Trifle Niken.

Aini speechless. He glanced at the infusion bag hanging above him.

"Yes, I'll wake up Kenzo and Umar first."

Niken stood up immediately. He patted his son's shoulder after smiling at Aini.

"Good thanks, Ma." Answer Ardi.

Niken left Ardi's room. Leaving behind a pair of widows and widows were both again. Ardi sat down on the edge of his bed again. But now, parallel to Aini.

"I help you get up, drink up!" Pinta Ardi after putting the glass on the nightstand.

Aini finally resigned herself, as Ardi's burly arm, slipped down her back, and slowly lifted the weak back. Because indeed, he felt quite thirsty at this moment. Aini was also fed by Ardi. He drank half of it.

Aini also immediately wear the hijab brought by Niken earlier. Ardi then put Aini to sleep again. He also again grabbed a drinking glass that was still half of it.

"Eehh, Mas, ituu," Prevent Aini, when you see Ardi drinking tea from the glass.

"Why?" Ardi asked casually, after sipping the remaining warm tea Aini earlier.

"That's it, the rest of my tea."

"I'm freezing, Ni."

"If you're cold, why was the tea given to me?"

"Ladies first."

Aini did not understand the meaning of Ardi's answer.

"Here, don't think! Can you wudhu? It's adzan."

Aini silence. He also did not know if he could walk to the bathroom to ablution.

"Come, I'll help!"

Without further ado, Ardi again helps Aini wake up. And no matter what magic Ardi gives, Aini also complies with him. He touched Aini's body while holding an infusion that was still connected to Aini's body.

Aini also prayed in Ardi's room while sitting. While Ardi, immediately out of the room to pray with Kenzo and Umar as usual.

The morning began to grow rowdy, when Kenzo and Umar knew that Aini's condition was deteriorating. They even refused to go to school because they wanted to keep and accompany Aini at home.

But, after Aini seduced and convinced her two sons that she would be fine, they finally wanted to go to school.

And because Aini and mbok Sri are sick, all the housework is done by Tika. Except cooking. That's Niken's job today. Because indeed, Tika is not very good at cooking.

At seven in the morning, Dika and Gilang arrived at Ardi's house at the same time. They're heading to Ardi's room. But with a different purpose.

"Why don't you know that Aini is conscious? I just drove this right here." Annoyed.

"Sorry, forget Lang." Replied Ardi, while grinning the horse.

Ardi had indeed forgotten Gilang's message, to preach it if Aini was conscious. He was too focused on Aini who was still lying in her room.

Gilang immediately checked Aini's condition. After making sure his condition was stable, Gilang released the infusion on Aini's hand. Ardi and the others were relieved, because of that.

Gilang also suggested, in the meantime, Aini was asked to rest in a place with a warm room temperature. And that, obviously makes Ardi have a reason to keep Aini in her room. (Based on Mr. Duda, take advantage of the opportunity in narrowness 😏)

"Would you like to go to the office?" Syndir Gilang, as he and Ardi walked out of the room.

Gilang knows, Ardi is actually very worried about Aini's condition. So he slightly insinuated Ardi to be sure.

"Yes, later. I'm going to Oliv's house first." Reply Ardi casually.

"Well?"

"Check assistant. Aini said, he fell yesterday."

I looked at Aini for a moment. He was sure, Aini heard the sentence that Ardi said. Because they are still in the room. Tell a little confusion with Ardi's attitude. But he was sure, there was something Ardi had hidden from him.

Aini, whose eyes were following the steps of the two friends, was slightly stunned to hear Ardi's reply. His heart shrank slightly because of that. There was a sudden sense of disappointment and jealousy approaching him. Remembering, Ardi was so considerate of her these few days. But, it turns out that he is also still very attentive to Oliv. In fact, he intended to visit Oliv's assistant who fell yesterday. For all he was sure, it was just a lie.

No one knows what someone's heart is. Others can only guess it, without knowing the truth.
