Rayyan Residence.
19:00
The day had changed, the atmosphere became increasingly tense when the time given to Rico had run out. All the families had gathered in the living room, including Keisha, Faisal, Tasya, Farel and Marco whom Rayyan had invited to talk more about Aisyah and Farel's betrothal.
But not with Aisyah, from yesterday she did not come out of her room at all. In fact, Keisha had asked her many times to go out and eat but Aisyah did not want to go out at all, I don't know what she was doing in her room.
"Time is running out, and Rico can't meet the conditions I've been given. Now there will be nothing else that will stop the continuity of Aisyah and Farel's relationship. Isn't that right, Marco? "
Rayyan looked at Marco with a very sparkling face, finally the goal will soon be achieved easily and there will be no more interference.
"Om right. After this I am sure that their relationship will go well." replied Marco who was also very happy, eventually he will be the guardian for Farel's marriage in place of his long-lost father.
Farel was silent, occasionally smiling as Rayyan looked at him. That was also what Farel wanted, but why now it feels like Farel is very hesitant to continue. Hearing the words from Rayyan just now doesn't that mean she's just a backup? If Rico succeeds, will Rayyan say that and will remain steadfast with this matchmaking?.
Not wanting to doubt everything, but Farel was really like a spare item right now.
"Keep how, can this matchmaking be done as soon as possible? " Rayyan's words managed to make Farel look up, he still wanted to be able to ascertain how the answer from Aisyah was.
What if Aisyah doesn't approve of all this? And what if Aisyah ran away like that? Farel was very afraid that the incident would happen again.
"Om, can Farel talk to Aisyah alone?" ask Farel.
Rayyan also Marco immediately looked at Farel sharply, especially what he wanted to talk to Aisyah about, everything would have happened if Rayyan had already determined.
"I beg you, Om. Just this once," Please Farel.
"alright. Ma, please call Aisyah." pinta Rayyan.
Keisha nodded and then moved after that, his steps getting faster towards his daughter's room which was in the pendopo next to him.
"You're okay, aren't you, Rel? " look at Rayyan who saw there was doubt from Farel.
"Farel's fine, Om." He answered with a face down.
While Faisal and Tasya kept quiet, they could do nothing even though they knew this decision would not make Aisyah happy.

On the prayer rug that stretched, still wearing his face, Aisha was curled up there. His face was a little pale, his body was very weak perhaps because from yesterday he had not filled his stomach in the least with anything.
Aisyah did not come out at all, even Aisyah would only go from that place when she was going to the bathroom to take ablution when she was going to pray.
Sobbing in silence, crying without a sound. His heart was already resigned to the fate he would accept. Already practicing Istikharah prayer, asking for instructions on the right and the true as his destiny, but he did not get anything at all.
Only the faces of Rico, Rico and always Rico always spin like a cassette tape inside his head. Either because he was too hopeful Rico was the goal or indeed he was created for him.
"I'm sincere... " It was in an almost inaudible voice.
"Bang Rico is gone, bang Rico has left Aisyah, bang Rico has reneged on his own promise... "
"I must be sincere... "
The groaning was so heartbreaking, the pain was like he had been betrayed. Rico seemed to not care about the situation now, he left without giving a reason and there was no news until now.
The door was knocked from the outside, but in no way made Aisyah flinch and just move, she was still in the same position.
"Aisha, dear Aisha! Come out yuk, someone wants to talk to Aisyah! " Sounds Keisha's voice out there.
As Ayesha moved, "is that a Rico bang?! " The first spoken name was Rico, Aisyah really wanted only Rico to come see her, talk to her and take her away after marrying her.
Aisyah immediately moved, she ran towards the door without letting go of her face. Can't wait for him to open the door after he manages to turn the key.
"Bang Rico is coming, Ma! " I cried after the door opened.
The pain that Keisha felt, so great Aisyah's love for Rico but she could do absolutely nothing to help him. Keisha could not oppose what Rayyan, her husband, decided.
"Bang Rico is here, Ma!" Shouts again.
Keisha shook his head softly, "It's not the bang Rico who wants to talk to Aisyah, but Brother Farel."
The reply from Keisha instantly made Aisyah come back uninspired, the hand that was originally on the doorknob slowly falling down weakly.
"Honey, you should be able to accept this fact, bang Rico did not come he has left Aisyah." Both hands of Keisha touching both shoulders Aisyah resuscitated her from the instant reverie.
"Bang Rico isn't going, Ma. Bang Rico is trying." Aisyah is still tight, she believes that Rico cannot just leave her.
"Darling, you should be able to accept all this, son." Unable to tell Keisha that and break her daughter's heart, but how else, she doesn't see Rico coming and realizing her daughter's dream.
"Bang Rico is coming soon, Ma. Bang Rico is trying to make papa's wish come true."
So great was Aisyah's expectation on Rico that she could not accept any evil about him.
Hearing Aisyah who continued to whine bitterly made Keisha shed her tears, she could not see the suffering of her daughter, she was young she had also felt love, she never felt love, but her fate is so beautiful because she instantly gets someone she loves in an easy way without any problems, but Aisyah?.
"I'm sorry Mama, son. Mama can't do anything. Forgive Mama." His words also sounded raucous.
Cuddled by Aisyah who was still silent with tears that also flowed, her heart was still not that big to accept all this reality, the stinking reality in her life.
The person he dreamed of since he had not known what love is until now he really knows what love is, but now that person has gone out of nowhere and how he is now.
"We go out yuk, Brother Farel wants to talk to Ayesha." Said Keisha while releasing her embrace from Aisyah, wiping away her tears and also Aisyah's.
"Ma, does Aisha really have to marry Brother Farel? "His mouth spoke but his eyes were blank.
" Give it all up to God, son. Mama's sure whatever happened to Aisyah was the best."
"But, Ma..., could Ayesha not choose someone who would be a priest for Ayesha as Mama chose Papa first? "
"Dear, be sure of your heart. I'm sure God will show you the best path." Said Keisha trying to raise the heart of Aisyah who is very narrow now.
"But, Ma..? "
"Ashah who is patient yes, difficulties are always there, but so is the help of God who will always be present at the right time."
"Hem.. " Aisyah nodded, she turned her body walking in to replace her face with a hijab.
