Aini's Heart Journey

Feels Real

A bright afternoon. The sun feels so hot on the vast expanse of the earth. Forced some of its inhabitants to seek shelter from the scorching sun.

Ardi is very focused on his work in the office. Not to mention, his mind was still branching out with all the things he was facing.

Suddenly, the door of his office room opened without excuse. A beautiful little girl, just appeared without excuse. Ardi turned to the door and rounded his eyes when he saw the woman.

"Here?" Ardi said while standing up.

The woman smiled warmly at Ardi. He walked over to Ardi casually.

"Why, Mas? Why look at me like that?" Ask the girl friendly. And indeed, it was Aini.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"What are you talking about, Mom?"

"You,,??"

"I why? Is there something wrong with my appearance?" Aini replied, while looking at the purple-colored robe she was wearing.

"How did you get here?" Ask Ardi confused.

"Send by Mr. Prapto."

"What?"

"Mas why the hell? Why look at me like I see a ghost?"

Ardi did not answer. He chose to approach Aini and immediately embraced her. Hugged it very tightly. Aini then replied to him.

"Mas, we're in the office!" Reprimand Aini immediately, because Ardi never let go of his embrace.

"Let it be like this! I miss you so much, dear." Replied Ardi with a hand that still hugged Aini.

Aini silently did not answer. He let Ardi embrace him, because indeed, he also missed Ardi.

"Does there have time? I want to go somewhere." Tanya Aini is still in Ardi's arms.

Ardi then released the indentation. Gently looked at the face of the petite woman before him. Aini looked up slightly to see Ardi's face.

"I always have time for you. Where are you going?" Sahut Ardi soft.

"To somewhere, Mas. But, a little far. Outside the city." Answer Aini spoiled.

"Out of town?"

Aini nodded spoiled. "But if you're busy, next time."

"No. I'm not doing much work." Lying Ardi.

Aini glanced at Ardi's desk. "But why are the files on your desk so many, Mas?"

"Lost a few that I haven't done. I can handle it."

"Mas sure?"

"You don't believe me?" Rajuk Ardi's.

"I believe you, Mommy." Answer Aini, gently rubbing Ardi's cheek.

Ardi smiled and kissed Aini's hand. "I'll get the car keys first!"

Aini nodded in understanding. Ardi then grabbed the car keys and his phone. Not to forget, he said goodbye first to Dika before leaving.

Along the way in the office hallway, Ardi did not hesitate to hold Aini's hand attentively. He ignored the gazes of his employees.

"Mas, look at a lot of people, that is!" Beware Aini while enduring embarrassment.

"Just be wild! Let them know you're mine." Ardi replied casually, after stopping his steps and turning to Aini.

Aini confusedly replied Ardi. Ardi then re-legs, which Aini also followed later.

Along the way, Ardi unceasingly turned to Aini. He seemed to want to hold Aini without letting go. He felt very happy, because Aini could be near him at this moment. He even forgot, the thing that really stuck his mind earlier, when Aini arrived at his office.

"Where are we going, honey?" Ardi asked curiously, while continuing to drive.

"We'll be here soon, Mom." Answer Aini sure.

Ardi was confused with Aini. Because they've been driving for almost ninety minutes. And indeed, it has come out of Surabaya City. But apparently, it hasn't arrived yet. And Aini also did not say, the destination he wanted to visit clearly.

Suddenly, Aini asks Ardi to turn his car towards a small village that is deserted by residents. Some homes are even abandoned without occupants.

"Where are we going, honey? This, isn't the wrong way?" Ask Ardi confused.

"No, Mas. In front of me is another house. We're going there." Answer Aini sure.

Ardi only obeyed the instructions Aini gave. He passed through the streets of a completely deserted village. There was no one they met.

"That's Mas, the house." Point Aini, at a simple house that is almost in an unkempt garden, which is more like a small forest.

"Whose house is it, honey?" Ask Ardi confused.

Aini silently did not answer.

Ardi then parked his car right in front of the house that was appointed by Aini. The house is quite large, for the size of the houses around it that have not been maintained. The house also looks so comfortable, with some ornamental plants in front of it.

"Come, Mas!" Take Aini enthusiastically, saar Ardi finished parking his car.

Aini walked leisurely towards that house. Ardi followed him immediately. Aini then casually opened the door of the house. Ardi slightly gasped at what Aini was doing.

"Where is this, honey? Whose house is this?" Ask Ardi again.

"Mas, forgot?"

"Forgot what?"

"This place, Mas. This house." Answer Aini enthusiastically.

"This house?" Ardi's birthday was full of confusion.

Aini nodded spoiledly at Ardi. He just went into that house.

"Aren't we here, we're meeting Mas?" Say Aini casually, while walking towards the inside of the house.

"What?"

"Kok Mas forgot, anyway?" Rajuk Aini's.

Ardi still continues to follow Aini's steps down every corner of the house that attracts his attention. The house is so well maintained. With some of the furniture that is still so good.

"What are you talking about? We will meet at school. And again, whose house is this, honey?"

"How is this? We meet here, Mas." Aini replied casually, as she continued walking.

Aini stopped in front of one of the bedroom doors. He turned his head and smiled at Ardi who was still looking at the atmosphere of the house that was very foreign to him.

"Or maybe, this is the last place we'll meet." Aini Imbuh.

"What?"

Ardi was confused with Aini. And while Ardi was still trying to understand Aini's words, Aini suddenly opened the door of the room before her. He just went in.

Ardi also followed Aini's steps into the room. Darkroom. He tried to find a light switch near the door. Instantly, a dim light flashed.

Ardi is confused. Because the room is empty. There's only one chair there. And even, the,,

"Darling! Sweetheart! You where?" Ardi said a little scream.

There is no answer from anyone. Ardi then went deeper into the room to look for Aini. He headed for a small room that looked like a toilet.

"Darling?" Call Ardi again.

But apparently, there was no one there. Aini's missing.

"Darling! No kidding! You where? Honey!" Ardi started to panic.

"Darling!"

"Here!"

Ardi immediately ran to and fro looking for the whereabouts of Aini who suddenly disappeared without a trace. He searched the entire corner of the house while shouting Aini. But, he could not find.

Ardi was sitting limp in the chair in the living room. His sharp eyes closed because he tried to remember what Aini had done earlier. The knocking at the door distracts him.

"Here!" Said Ardi again, standing up.

Ardi is confused. Because all of a sudden, he could be in his study at home. He immediately looked around to make sure.

"Me,,??"

Ardi was trying to remember what really happened. He slowly remembered what he was doing.

"God! I must have been dreaming." Said Ardi, rubbing his face.

"Where are you, honey?" Ardi muttered, dropping his body into the chair he was sitting on.

Yeah, Ardi was dreaming about Aini. Her dreams felt so real to her. Dreams that really happened.

Tonight, Ardi did not accompany Kenzo in the hospital. He came home late from the office. So Niken asked him to rest at home. And tonight, Kenzo will be accompanied by Niken and Rama.

When he returned home, Ardi immediately saw the condition of Umar. The eight-year-old boy was still quiet. He is still in grief. But, his condition has improved.

Ardi had taken the time to chat and accompany him to sleep. He felt very guilty to Umar, because he could not take care of his mother properly. Until making Umar's condition was not good.

"What time is this?" Ardi muttered again, while closing the net again.

The night is late. After Ardi accompanied Umar earlier, he cleaned himself up and intended to check some reports from his guards in his study. But due to exhaustion, he fell asleep in his chair

Geck, tok, tok. The knock from Ardi's office door, re-distracting Ardi. Ardi had not expected, if the knocking sound on the door was real.

"Yes. Coming in!" Sahut Ardi's.

The door to Ardi's office opened slowly. Prapto slowly peeked out of the slightly open door.

"What's up, sir?" Ask Ardi quickly.

"There's Reno, sir." Honest Prapto.

Not yet Ardi answered, Reno sneaked into the workspace Ardi without permission. Prapto and Ardi were surprised.

"Meet, Sir. Aini's mom has been found." Reno said immediately.
