Two Years Later
"Where are you going?" ask Jimmy to Arsya who is still standing in the navel of his parents.
Two years have passed since he went to prison. Today is his day of freedom. The first destination after exiting is a public burial place where the father and his mother rest in peace. There is also the tomb of his son-in-law who is coupled with Arsya's parents.
Arsya again wore sunglasses that he had hung on the collar of a T-shirt worn after finishing praying. He looked at Jimmy who was accompanying him. "Gue wants to go to Pakdhe Imran's house."
"Lo's sure?"
"Gue just wants a relationship."
Jimmy nodded. He would take her wherever she wanted to go today. Although all this time their relationship looks like Tom and Jerry, but Jimmy is still best friends. He's the one who's been visiting Arsya, taking care of everything Arsya needs.
On the road to the house of Imran, Arsya saw a billboard with a portrait of Joko Permana plastered with gallant. The man who has now succeeded in becoming his papa successor in government smiled proudly in a large poster that was posted on the side of the road.
"It's all happened, yes" said Jimmy who knew exactly what Arsya was thinking when he saw the portrait of Joko Permana.
Arsya. It will not run out if he takes revenge. He opted for Legowo to accept everything that happened. After all, he had made it through.
Although it is not easy to get rid of the memories of what his papa rivals have done to his family. Because of Joko Permana's trap, her papa was arrested. Then followed her who was detained because of the man's scenario as well. Her mother, who could not stand the news, died.
After Sarah's departure, it didn't take long for Surya to survive. Sarah's death has left the man worse off. His health condition is declining in custody. The illness he suffered worsened the situation. That is why not until one knows Surya was arrested, the man also followed the wife to heaven.
At that time, Arsya really felt alone. Has no one.
"Lo sure you wanna come in?" ask Jimmy again as soon as he gets in front of Imran's house.
Not answering Jimmy's question, Arsya just got out of the car. Jimmy was following behind.
"Assalamualaik." Arsya knocked on Alisha's door.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied the man from inside the house as he opened the door.
"Son Arsya?" Laras is shocked to see Arsya coming to his house.
"How are you, Budhe?" Arsya greets Laras by kissing the back of the woman's hand.
"Ba-good. Son Arsya, how are you?"
"Thank God be healthy, Budhe. Ehm .. does Pakdhe Imran exist?"
"Oh .. yes, there ... come on, come on in." The barrel opened the door wide.
Arsya and Jimmy immediately walked in and sat on a worn-out sofa after being invited by the hosts.
"See, Budhe call you first."
Arsya and Jimmy nodded politely.
Arsya and Jimmy immediately stood up to welcome Imran. "Assalamualaikum, Pakdhe."
"Vaalaikumsalam. How are you doing?" Imran shines a light on Arsya and Jimmy. With a hand gesture, Imran asked Arsya and Jimmy to sit back down.
"Thank God be healthy, Pakdhe. Pakdhe himself how?"
"I'm healthy too."
"Sorry, there is only water" said Laras interjected. He brought three cups of tea for his guests.
"Thank you, Budhe," said Arsya. Arsya circulated the view, as if looking for something in this house.
"Alisha does not live in Sisni anymore," said Imran who understands that Alisha is the one sought by her ex-husband from her nephew.
"Sorry, Pakdhe. " Arsya was embarrassed when Imran knew what he was thinking.
"Since you guys officially parted ways, Alisha went to start her new life. But Pakdhe apologizes, because Pakdhe can't tell you where Alisha went."
Two years ago after a long thought, Arsya finally chose to divorce Alisha. As Jimmy said, Alisha deserves to be happy. And maybe Alisha's happy isn't with her.
Arsya did not want to wrong Alisha by asking her to wait for her in custody. That is why Arsya freed Alisha from their bond. Although it is heavy, but that is the best option.
Arya smiled bitterly with Imran's confession. This is where he had to ditch his hopes to be able to re-refer to Alisha.
"Don't worry about anything for sure. If Alisha is your soul mate, no matter how far apart you are, God will surely reunite you. However, if there is no more soul mate among you, Allah has prepared the best mate for you or Alisha."
"Yes, Pakdhe." Arya forced a smile on her lips. In his little heart he still hopes to be a match with his ex-wife.
******
In another city, the place where Alisha lives today. There Alisha felt her own happiness.
He started his whole life from the beginning. Friends, career, job, everything he has right now.
Armed with the money given by Arsya as a living idah, as well as money from the treasure gono-gini, Alisha started her own business by owning a Muslim clothing store. Now she is an independent woman with an established job.
"You don't have to answer now Alisha, I'll give you time to think" said one man.
Alisha stared at her friend Salwa— and the younger brother of the man who is currently proposing to her.
Salwa nodded. Smile at the woman he hopes to be his sister-in-law. "Truely Alisha, me and my family, as well as Mas Fatih will be waiting for your answer. But do not be long, do you not kasian with this handsome Masku," said Salwa with her medok Indonesian language.
"If you can help me in three days, tell me" said a man named Fatih.
"Three days?" Alisha was shocked. He can make a decision in such a short time.
