Aini's Heart Journey

Attention

"Where is this, Di?" Ask Rama who is ready at the dinner table with Niken.

"Yes, Di. I haven't seen Aini since." Timpal Niken, while taking breakfast for the husband.

"Maybe in Umar's room again, Ma. Mama, hell!" Replied Ardi a little upset.

"T-so Mama?" Niken is confused.

"And Mama who last night used Aini's interrogation show with Ardi on the way home." Answer Ardi flat.

"And Mom just asked a little." Kill Niken.

"Well that's a little, Ma? How much do you think, Ma?" Ketus Ardi's.

The Flashback

"Mas, this is so bad. The shop's gonna close." Whine Aini, for the umpteenth time.

"You're! They're still relaxing waiting for us, right." Sahut Ardi relax.

Ardi again tried to distract Aini. He invited Aini to buy some things. Not only for Aini of course, but also for their two sons and as well as for Niken and Rama.

Aini tries to keep resisting when Ardi tries to seduce her to buy the items she wants, but not Ardi if he can not make Aini obey his will. Until finally, Ardi and Aini brought several large bags containing their groceries out of the store.

"You wait a minute, yeah!" Pinta Ardi, after Aini got into the car.

"Where are you going?" Ask Aini worriedly.

Ardi smiled slightly hearing Aini's tone.

"Calm down! I won't be long. I just want to talk to someone at this store." Honestly Ardi is happy.

Aini also nodded obediently. Ardi then walked back towards the store. There was a beautiful woman with a neat dress up who had also served them very kindly while in the store, seen waiting for Ardi with a friendly smile.

"Thank you for tonight." Ardi said sincerely.

"Sure, Sir." Answer the woman politely.

"Don't forget, give a bonus to all of them, for tonight!" Ardi's message is serious.

"Already, Sir. As per Dika's instructions this morning. I gave it to him shortly after the store's operational hours ended." Answer the woman firmly.

"alright. I'll go first!"

"Please, Sir!"

The beautiful woman who was none other than the manager of the store, immediately nodded respectfully at Ardi. Ardi then returned to his car. He even smiled looking at Aini who was staring at him from inside the car.

Ardi had asked Dika to book additional hours of operation at the store manager for tonight. He wants to shop alone with Aini Aini tonight.

So, Ardi asked the store manager, to give bonuses to his employees. And it is given at the beginning of additional hours. To make them more excited to welcome the store owner.

And it worked so well. The bonus, given at the beginning of the extra hour, makes the store employees do a lot before Ardi arrives. They changed all the clothes in the mannequin. Full filling of stock items that are reduced due to other previous buyers. Until making Ardi and Aini can shop with satisfaction.

"Sorry, old." Ardi said, when he got in the car.

Aini shook her head. "Is he your friend, Mom?"

Ardi who was preparing to start the car, immediately turned to Aini. He looked at Aini's plain-looking face asking her.

"Are you jealous?" Goda Ardi's.

"What's? No, Mas. That's not what I mean." Answer Aini gelagapan.

"Then?"

"Mas said there was an appointment with someone. Does he have an appointment with you?" Ask Aini slowly, so that Ardi does not misunderstand.

"Yes. He's the manager of this shop."

Aini also nodded while ooh ria.

"Quiet down! I'm not a man who's going to grieve the heart of the woman I love." Answer Ardi gently.

Aini smiled at Ardi's reply. Ardi returned that smile.

Satan in Ardi's heart began to tickle his defenses. They whispered softly, making the belief of the widower begin to waver.

The late night atmosphere, a situation that is now just two and began to understand each other, making Ardi's heart again tempted to pounce on the widow who was in his car.

Ardi began to stare at Aini's face. The face that was from earlier, no bored he looked at. The beautiful shadow of their first kiss some time ago, started playing beautifully in Ardi's mind. Simple but memorable moments for the two, began to dance without permission on the head of the widower.

But instantly, Aini's words while in the cinema earlier also ringed in his head without permission.

",, there's a time!"

Ardi also tried to withstand the turmoil in him that always teased him without permission. He immediately turned his eyes outside the car. And immediately continue what he had done.

"Let's go home!" Get Ardi senatural maybe.

"Yes, Mum."

Aini also back to justify her sitting position. While Ardi, then turn on his car engine and immediately leave the place.

It didn't take long for Ardi to get home. The traffic conditions are starting to be quiet, making it able to drive his car at speeds above average.

When we got home, the,,

"Where are you guys? It's just coming home." Welcome Niken a little upset.

Ardi also snorted annoyed because it was Niken. And Aini, must have looked down deeply because she felt guilty for coming home late at night. Moreover, Umar was with Kenzo to go with Niken and Rama.

"How many movies did you watch, until you got home this late?" Get Niken again.

"Shopping, Ma." Sahut Ardi as soft as possible, to muffle his mother's frustration.

"Where to shop? Is there a shop that still opens at this time? Make that excuse natural."

"Really, Ma. We were shopping at ANN Fashion." Honestly Ardi.

"They close at half-ten. And what time is it?" Denying Niken.

"If you don't believe me, ask the manager. We were just there."

ANN Fashion, actually belongs to Niken. More precisely, it was a business that Niken had pioneered since he was young. It is also managed by Ardi

Starting from a small shop that Niken opened in a shophouse in the suburbs, slowly growing bigger. Until the time he married Rama, the small shophouse had turned into a shop that is still standing on two floors. It is one of five stores that Niken owns.

In the hands of Niken and Rama, ANN Fashion expanded into five stores. Two stores in Surabaya, two stores in Bandung, and one other store in Jakarta.

"If you're shopping, where's the shopping?"

"Still in the car, Ma."

"Sorry, Mom." Say Aini while bowed.

Ardi and Niken who were having a little argument, immediately turned to Aini.

"Come into the room! We'll grab the groceries tomorrow!" Pinta Ardi was attentive.

"But,,"

"Go to the room! I'd like to talk to Mama for a minute." Ardi Obviously.

"Oh, yes, my mother."

Aini immediately said goodbye to the pair of mother and child. Then he went to his room.

"Mama why the hell? Love making Aini like that?" Ask Ardi annoyed.

"Mama is just a kepo." Answer Niken relax.

"If you want to go, look at the time dong, Ma!"

"You're dating, see the time, dong! What time is it?"

"It's only eleven, Ma." Ardi replied, without guilt.

"It's only eleven? Tomorrow again, come home at dawn." Pissed Niken.

"Okay, Ma." Sahut Ardi full of ability.

Ardi immediately ran away from his mother. Niken, who was holding back his frustration at Ardi's last words, immediately refracted his eyes. He finally released his son who was kasmaran. He eventually returned to his room to rest.

Flashback Off

"Call Aini, Di! Have breakfast together!" Pinta Rama attention.

"Yes, sana! There's something Mama wants to tell her, too." Niken Imbuh.

"Okay, Ma, Pa."

Ardi immediately stood up from his chair. He immediately moved his feet towards the second floor of his house. He was impatient, wanted to see the face of his lover who last night without permission was present in his dream.

"Darling!" Call Ardi and open the door to Umar's room.

"Nothing is there?" Monologue Ardi.

Ardi also looked for Aini to the bathroom in Umar's room. But it turns out there isn't. He then moved to Kenzo's room. And it turns out, Aini wasn't there either. Ardi immediately ran downstairs back.

"Where's Aini?" Niken asked, when Ardi got back to the dinner table.

"No Ma, in Kenzo's room with Umar." Honestly Ardi started to panic.

"Continue?"

"Mbok! Mum!"

Ardi walked towards the garage. He had seen Sri was sweeping there earlier.

"Mbok! See this isn't it?" Ask Ardi quickly.

"No, Mas. Aini's mom is leaving. There is no motor." Sri answered while showing where Aini motorbike is usually parked in the garage.

Ardi immediately reached into his phone that was in his pocket. He immediately tried to contact Aini.

"Where are you, honey?" Ardi said in a panic, when the call was connected.

Sri smiled faintly at the words Ardi said. He was so relaxed to call Aini with a call of love in front of others. In fact, as far as Sri knows, although Ardi and Aini do look very close lately, he has never heard Ardi calling Aini with that call at home.

"I'm in front of the compound, Mas. What's up?"

"Ahead of the complex? Why?" Tanya Ardi couldn't believe it.

"I've asked you all night for permission, Mom. I'm going to visit the father's grave this morning. It also reaches home. What's up?"

"Why did I forget?" Inner Ardi.

"Oh, it's okay, honey. Careful, yes! I'm waiting at home." Sahut Ardi.

"Yes, Mum."

Ardi ended his phone call. "Thank you, Mbok!"

"Yes, Mum."

Ardi then returned home. He immediately approached his parents.

"Where? Where's aini? Mbok Sri knows? Have you asked Mr Prapto yet?" Lecar Niken panicked.

"Mom, Mom."

"Certainly? Where's aini?"

"Sorry, Ma, Pa. Ardi forgot. Aini said goodbye to Ardi last night. He's going to visit Pak Hadi's pusara this morning." Ardi Cengengesan.

"You're! Panic people early in the morning!" Upset Niken while hitting Ardi's arm.

"Sorry, Ma. Ardi really forgot." Ardi replied while rubbing his arm.

"Eh, but, Umar didn't come?"

"Aini said, Umar was afraid if he met his father. So he chose not to join Aini on a pilgrimage this morning." Honestly Ardi.

Yes, the shadow of Adit's attitude that often applies a little harsh on Umar, quite haunting the eight-year-old. So, Umar chose to reject his mother's invitation yesterday, when he was invited to make a pilgrimage to his grandfather's grave this morning.

Not Aini is not afraid if she meets Adit or her former mother-in-law. But, her heart's desire to make a pilgrimage to the grave of her former father-in-law, was greater than that fear. So, he could be reckless enough to go to Hadi's grave this morning alone.

Ardi actually last night had tried to seduce Aini to be escorted to make a pilgrimage, but was subtly rejected by Aini. Aini did not want to trouble Ardi and dragged him into the problems between himself and the Adit family. Although, indirectly, Ardi has been dragged in that direction.

Before long, Aini had already arrived home. He immediately parked his bike again in the garage as before. And when that happened, he was immediately approached by Ardi. Ardi even directly hugged Aini without permission.

"You're not papa, are you? I didn't see Adit or his mother, did I?" Ask Ardi worriedly.

"I'm not papa, Mom. I didn't see anyone before." Honestly Aini is relaxed.

Ardi then let go of his embrace. He immediately observed Aini closely, from head to toe. He really wanted to make sure, that Aini was not injured in the slightest. Aini until smiling looking at Ardi's behavior.

"I'm not papa, Mom. Relax!" Imbuh Aini tried to convince Ardi.

Ardi also breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally convinced, that Aini was fine. Ardi then immediately invited Aini into the house.

"What did you call me?" Ask Aini while walking with Ardi.

"Oh, that. I forgot that you went on a pilgrimage to Mr. Hadi's grave this morning. Papa and mama are looking for you." Honestly Ardi was a little whiny.

"Sir Rama and Miss Niken are looking for me?" Repeat Aini can't believe it.

"Yes. Mama said there's something she wants to tell you."

Aini's guts shrieked suddenly. He still remembers what happened last night when he and Ardi came home after a date.

Moreover, he did not say goodbye to Rama and Niken when he was about to leave. Because indeed, he left the house when Rama and Niken had not gone out of the room. He was afraid he would disturb them, if he said goodbye. And again, he also said goodbye to Ardi last night. He thought it was more than enough.

"Where are you from, Ni?" Niken asked flatly, after meeting Aini inside.

Aini is shocked when she meets Niken and Rama who are waiting for her.

"Sorry Sir, Mom. I'm on a pilgrimage to the grave of my former in-laws." Answer Aini a little scared.

"Oh,,"

"Sorry, Miss Niken. I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you before I left. I'm afraid to bother you earlier, because it's still very early." Honest Aini lirih.

"It's okay. Ardi also used to forget everything, so it made us a little anxious. Thank goodness you're okay." Answer Niken friendly.

"Yes, Mom. Thank you." Thank you."

Rama and Niken leave Ardi and Aini at the dinner table. Because they had finished their breakfast. While Ardi, immediately invite Aini to breakfast with him.

A big enough affection, making us sometimes forget small things. Makes us a little possessive and protective of those we care about. It is good, as long as it is still in the proper portion.
