ANTERIOR

ANANTARA - 46 Different Ayesha.

3 Months Later

Did not feel the time goes so fast, Aisyah's condition is getting better even though it is still routine check-ups, now Aisyah can undergo the routine again.

Not protracted in grief and adversity he chose to restart his life, walking forward looking at something that was waiting for him.

Although not quite young, the level of Aisyah is still very beautiful like other teenagers, let alone seeing her who is now only alone often makes people surprised if they know her status as a 'widow'.

Filling his empty days, Abi and Ummi tell Aisyah to go to continue her education. However, Aisyah felt that she was too late and rejected her parents' proposal. Aisyah prefers to take private sewing lessons at one of her acquaintance's boutiques.

Aisyah also has a new hobby, making her often visit the library to just buy new books that she wants to read filling her saturation hours at home.

As of now, Aisyah walked down high shelves filled with various books. The black hood that covers his head extends to the chest, accompanied by a green bottle dress in addition to a sling bag perched on his left hand.

It looks like a young student who is looking for a book to work on his paper. Several times a young man walked over to make small talk to ask for his number, several times Asiyah refused in a subtle way so as not to hurt the feelings of the men.

Aisyah did not realize there were two eyes that had been fixed to her with an arch on the thin and sweet lips. Unlike other men, he chose to quietly observe Aisyah from afar, reluctant to interfere with Aisyah's own time.

Who is that guy?.

Rizal, a man who is not tired of waiting for Aisyah to reciprocate her feelings. To him, just seeing the woman smile and living her days happily has become a joy.

Not that Rizal was satisfied to like Aisyah in silence, he was just waiting for the right time. Until the time, Rizal will not linger to keep the taste alone.

Adam and Erika's apartment

"ARIKA!" adam shouted from the kitchen.

The woman, who is still wrapped in pajamas, wriggles when she hears a scream that passes into her sense of hearing.

"CK! It was still early in the morning screaming, Adam!" the upset.

Erika got up even though she was upset, she immediately walked over to Adam who was ready to sit at the dinner table with a sour face.

"What the hell is Mas?!" frangipani.

Adam turned his head, looking at the cynical wife who was still asking what was the matter, without realizing that the clock had now shown at 09:00 noon.

"Do you see what time it is?!" adam said cynically.

Erika rubbed her eyes, pulling her face to look at the clock on the wall. Instead of being surprised, he even opened his mouth wide yawning as if not so dizzy all of them.

"Hour 9, it's still morning. I still sleepy Mas, especially when I come home at 12. You know yourself!" his reply spouted back Adam.

Erika walked with slow steps to the refrigerator to take ice water, while Adam was not able to stand the careless nature of his wife was lazy.

BRAKK!

Erika spouted the water that had just entered her throat. He was surprised not to play when Adam suddenly kicked the dining table very hard.

"WHO TOLD YOU TO BE ELIGIBLE EVERY NIGHT! WHAT KIND OF WIFE WOULD GO HOME LATE AT NIGHT LIKE THAT!" scream Adam.

Adam got up, looked at his wife sharply. So upset and angry he could not speak anymore and chose to walk leaving Erika who was still staring at Adam's back with annoyance.

Rose Cafe

Aisyah sits at the end of the Cafe, a cup of latte coffee being her constant companion. The smell of warm coffee was so soothing, Aisyah focused on flipping sheet after sheet of paper from the book she had just pinned from the previous store.

The clink of the bell became a marker of a new customer entering the cafe, but Aisyah still continues to be glued into every word that you see in her book.

A man entered the cafe with a sour face, he immediately ordered some heavy food as well as a cup of black coffee for breakfast. Wanting to wait for his order, Adam the man who was rumbling with a shattered mood caught the figure of a woman who had not been heard from for a long time.

Looking at her who looks good also more beautiful in her eyes make Adam not so dropped his butt. He chose to walk closer even though he was gravely afraid if the woman refused him.

"A-aisyah," he called in doubt.

Aisyah who felt called turned her head, looked up to see who was the man who was now smiling clumsily with both hands linked as if to hold back the awkwardness.

"Mas Adam?" Aisyah.

"May I sit here?" he hesitated a little.

Aisyah turned her head left and right, seeing that there were still many empty tables in the cafe. Although once a person who was so close even as her husband, but Aisyah can not avoid that now Adam is just another person who no longer has any ties with her.

"There's still plenty of empty space, Mas can sit on another bench." Aisyah said nonchalantly to extend her chatter.

Adam scratched his head, feeling increasingly awkward but ventured himself to immediately sit in front of Aisyah who was now staring carelessly at him.

"For a moment, until my order arrived." persuaded Adam, Aisha was just silent reluctant to reply.

Adam saw Aisyah who is now more beautiful, she also looks happy. Unlike him who every day feels mummified with the mind of work are also small problems that are always caused by Erika.

"How are Abi and Ummi?" adam tried to break the silence.

"Good."

Adam smiled faintly, Aisyah retorted without taking her eyes off the book perched on both hands.

"What about you?" Adam asked the question again.

Now Aisyah closed her book a little loudly to the point of making a sound that surprised Adam. Aisyah immediately put the book in the bag, she also immediately got up while looking at Adam.

"I'm very, very good Mas, and also it seems like Mas forgot how our relationship after the divorce."

Adam got up, he shook his head reluctantly making Aisyah feel disturbed. Adam just wanted to have a light chat, greeting Aisyah who had not seen him for a long time.

However, in fact, Aisha still has not forgotten all the painful memories that Adam has given.

"No, Aisyah, can't we act like friends even though we're divorced?" said Adam holding back Aisha's steps that were about to leave.

A pull on the corner of Aisyah's lips was clearly displayed, she smiled cynically while looking at Adam.

"Friends? hahaha," Aisyah's laughter was amused.

"We're not getting divorced in a good way, or a good reason, and I hope you remember that."

Adam could only see the back of the woman he had so longed for, the woman he had always been with even reveled in him. However, now he seemed to see a different Aisyah, which was so far away he could not reach.
