Day after day has passed, the month has changed, not felt today is a happy day for Alula where she has just finished her post-graduate education, with a graceful maroon-colored kebaya dress featuring her looking beautiful on the most historic day for her.
Alesya and Afnan attended the graduation ceremony of the older brother even Silmi also enlivened the graduation ceremony of his sister from his best friend who he already considered as his own brother.
"Alhamdulillah congratulations Brother Alula on the graduation of S2nya."
After the event took a photo of the graduation with his family, Silmi congratulated Alula who had not had time to say it.
"Jazakillah khoiron ya Sil you also already want to attend my graduation event, and want to take pictures together too."
Was busy chatting outside the building that was used as a graduation place suddenly Alesya family arrival special guests.
"Mama, Papa." Call Alula when she sees her parents coming to her.
The biological mother of Alula and Papa, she had just arrived in front of him. They were not alone but with their sons.
"Sorry, baby, Mama is late, because the landing was long, oh yes congratulations, Mama is proud of you now you have graduated S2, your education is very good, you are indeed the pride of Mama."
Alula who saw the arrival of the mother was so happy that she could not even say anything but salute and hug Farha and David.
"Mama, Papa thank you for attending my second graduation, I love Mama and Papa."
"Together Alula Darling, Papa is very happy to be able to go to Indonesia, even if only one day."
Alula's radiant face suddenly turned to disappointment when the biological father said that they were only one day in Indonesia.
"Yes Alula, we're only one day, because Papa's work you can't be left for long and your brother Ali is also a long-time school permit."
After Farha's words that immediately stroked the Son's head alerted Alula that now her youngest sister was standing before her.
"Ali, here dong, Kak Alu miss Ali."
It was with pleasure that Ali walked up to her brother and immediately hugged him, while Alesya hesitantly grabbed the back of Farha's hand which was silent but her eyes were so unfriendly, now it was Afnan's turn to crucify his mother-in-law who had been looking at him with a look of dislike.
"Alesya, Papa misses you my little daughter, look at your face so beautiful after marriage, surely your husband is very dear to you, so you are so happy, right?"
Papa David melted the tense atmosphere with praise directed towards Alesya as well as to Afnan as well. Alesya simply returned the praise with a bitter smile like Afnan. Why it looks good is papa, while his real mama looks at Alesya like she is staring at an enemy.
Aiza immediately stroked Alesya's shoulders to calm her down, as well as Ahyar doing the same to Afnan after Afnan stood beside her again.
"Oh yes Alula Mama has a surprise with you Honey, a minute yes."
"Sorry."
It seemed that Farha was calling someone named Faqih, and it was true that after the name was called came a man in his neat clothes standing beside Farha who seemed to look very happy.
"Mas Faqih." Pekik Alula softly seemed to not believe the arrival of the man.
"Hi Alula, how are you?." Ask Faqih so kindly.
"Alhamdulillah I am good Mas." Alula answered timidly.
"Who is she?." Ahyar asked Alula with a fixed gaze towards Faqih.
Hearing the question from the father, Alula wanted to introduce the man to her father and family but mama Farha managed to undo Alula's intentions.
"Faqih is Mas David's co-worker, his apartment facing our apartment, yesterday Alula and Faqih got acquainted until finally good friends even today Faqih deliberately came to Indonesia because there is something he wants to say to Alula, Faqih please say to Alula."
Before Faqih ventured to say something to Alula, David introduced himself to Ahyar's real father Alula and Aiza's mother continued Alula who was supposed to be Farha who introduced them to Faqih but David represented her.
"Father, my mother came to Indonesia and I wanted to propose to Alula to be my wife."
Alula's eyes immediately widened but immediately a smile emanated on her beautiful face that was polished by natural makeup, she could not hide her happiness, how not since her introduction to Faqih at that time, she could not hide her happiness, Alula feels a different vibe, and she admits that Faqih's charm has made her fall in love.
"How's Alula, are you willing to accept Faqih's proposal?." Ask Mama Farha who hopes that her eldest daughter will accept the proposal.
Alula's gaze was directed towards Ahyar who understood the gaze of his eldest daughter, Alula could not answer because she had to ask permission first to his father.
"Lula, your answer is also the father's answer son, if this man is a good man of religion and morality then accept Nak."
The father's wise words can relieve his heart so that Alula can give an answer to the proposal from the man he secretly mentioned in his prayer all along.
"Bismil was bornohmaanirrohiim, I accept your proposal Mas." Alula said with confidence in her heart.
Happiness immediately struck the heart of Farha who was very happy because her eldest daughter obeyed her wishes, because it was happy that Farha immediately embraced Alula.
"Thank you, you are indeed a submissive Mama's child, Mama is proud of you, see now you have graduated from college and will soon be married to a man of Mama's choice, Mama, you must be happy because Ridho Mama is always with you."
Farha's speech did make Alula happy because it had become the proud child of parents, while Alesya felt her mother had insinuated her and compared her to her obedient brother rather than her. It turns out that the Mama has not fully accepted her marriage to Afnan, which child's heart is not sad when her mother ignores her just because of the decision she made, that is what Alesya is currently feeling.
Maybe others do not realize it but as a husband Afnan feel what his wife is feeling and this is also because he married Alesya with a less appropriate time but that according to his mother-in-law.
∆∆∆∆∆
After Alula was officially proposed by Faqih, the handsome young man had to return to Singapore because of his work that could not be left for long, but Farha and David did not return to Singapore because there was something to convey to Alula and her ex-husband.
Now they were sitting in the living room with a complete formation where Alesya and Afnan also gathered with Ali sitting in their midst.
"Alula you know it's a pity that Faqih your future husband is now settled in Singapore, it means that after you get married you will also settle in Singapore, you don't mind right?, it means that after you get married you will also stay in Singapore?, oh yes Mama has also provided work for you as well so you will work also in Singapore."
This is what Alula was worried about, actually, she hesitated to marry Faqih despite her feelings because Alula did not want to leave Indonesia, especially leaving her father who had raised her from childhood with his mother who loved her very much too.
"How dear?, you want to stay in Singapore?, and this is the time for Mama and Papa to get together again with you, your father's problem, is there Alesya here too, so you're supposed to be living in Singapore with Mama and Papa, to be fair."
Farha's words in a pushy tone did not necessarily make Alula agree to it, this was not an easy thing for her to decide, but on the other hand her Mama's words were right, maybe it's time she stayed with her real mom.
"So this is your main goal to match Alula with Faqih?, apparently you want Alula to stay with you, but you are entitled to Alula, well I will allow Alula to stay with you."
Although heavy and not that easy a father released his daughter from his grasp but what can make Ahyar can not prohibit his ex-wife to live with his daughter he also memunyak rights over Alula.
"Lula, Daddy and Mommy don't mind if you want to stay in Singapore with your Mama and your husband later."
Ahyar tried to show a smiling face happy even though his heart was very inversely proportional. While Alesya strongly objected and she did not want her sister to settle in Singapore, although they often quarrel but that does not mean Alesya does not love her Brother. Which sister is not sad if it will be left by her Brother, that is the feeling of Alesya's current position.
Alesya wanted to call out his heart that did not want to be left by the Big Brother but Afnan managed to hold him back from saying anything because this was not the right time.
"Well if Daddy and Mommy allow me to stay in Singapore, I'll stay in Singapore."
Alesya looked at the Brother with tears, she did not want her brother to leave her. Let alone to Singapore to other cities Alesya did not want. But he could do nothing and had no right to forbid his brother to leave. Again Afnan could only stroke Alesya's shoulder to calm her down.
"Good thing, darling. Oh yes, Mama had talked to both parents Faqih and they agreed that your marriage and Faqih will be held in three months, and everything is taken care of so you just prepare yourself, baby."
Farha was so enthusiastic in the wedding of her eldest daughter that she even handled everything herself, and just told Alula to prepare herself for the wedding to arrive.
∆∆∆∆∆
"Don't leave me."
Alula who had just sat beside her Mother was shocked by the presence of Alesya who was already covered in tears.
Just now Farha and David and Ali are out of their house due to return to Singapore tonight, and it is time for Alesya to express her disappointment at the decision of the older brother that was too soon for her. This time Afnan could not prohibit his wife from saying something that he had been detained from earlier.
"It's time for Brother to leave this house, just like you, right, after marriage a wife will come with her husband, right Dik?"
"Yes Kak, but why do you have to go far, why don't you live near here, why should you go to Singapore?"
Looking at her sister who could not help her grief, Alula immediately hugged Alesya with a full day and without feeling her tears fell but hurriedly removed so as not to look sad in front of her Sister and Father and Mother.
"You are so sweet, already do not cry so dong, we can still meet how, and we can still video call?, anyway not you happy huh, yes, if you leave, we don't fight anymore."
The joke of the Big Brother instantly made Alesya hit his sister while he was singing his face, while Alula instead laughed as well as Ahyar and Aiza who covered their sadness by laughing.
"Alula, Alesya it's night, you guys get some rest, baby." Say Aiza softly.
"Oh it's late, then Alula to the room first Dad, Mother."
Alula also moved from her seat and approached the Father and Mother to give a good night hug to them, followed by Alesya who then embraced the Brother.
"Tonight I'm going to sleep with my brother." Alesya insisted.
"Lho but how's Afnan?." Alula asked who immediately turned to Afnan.
"I don't have a problem, brother."
After hearing the words of Afnan who did not mind himself to sleep with his brother, he, Alesya immediately pulled Alula to immediately go to her room in order to rest their bodies after being quite tired due to Alula's graduation event which was quite draining of their energy.
"Oh, you rest too." Pinta Aiza invited Afnan to rest him.
After Afnan completely left the two of them, Aiza immediately buried her face in her husband's chest that understood her sadness.
"I know you're sad because our eldest daughter is leaving this house, I'm sad too but we can't be selfish, it's time she left us, dear."
Aiza tried hard and accepted this harsh reality, for her as a mother who has raised Alula with great affection must mengikhlasan daughter continued to leave but she should not be selfish and as a parent she should always support the decision of childrenher child.
"It feels like Mas has to be away from the princess that I have grown lovingly, but you're right I can't be selfish, I hope Alula is happy with her decision."
"Aamiin's."
∆∆∆∆∆
Alesya came out of her sister's room where she slept with Alula last night, her face was limp as hunger had already swept over her. Arriving in the dining room Alesya immediately sat herself in a chair and took a plate filled with chocolate barley bread.
Alula who was chewing her bread was made by the head because the sister came directly playfulong eat breakfast that had been prepared by her mother.
"Why are you so relaxed?, eat fast."
Alesya was confused when the Big Brother told her to finish her breakfast immediately, obviously Alesya did not heed his brother's orders because he did not like to do anything in a hurry, except emergency.
"Why did you, brother?, why did you tell me to eat fast anyway?"
Alula rolled her eyes puffed up "You're the one for me, today Afnan's thesis hearing right?, half an hour ago he's gone, you're still here, already there after Afnan."
Aleshfirullah, Alesya forgets that important thing, what kind of wife she forgets that today her husband will carry out his scripture trial, but he is not necessarily guilty because Afnan himself does not remind her.
"Allahu akbar I forgot, then I go first your assala 'aikum."
Half-runningly Alesya took her bag which was in her brother's room after which she crucified the backs of her father's hands and her mother and then sauntered away with a greeting ending.
∆∆∆∆∆
A man wearing a white shirt with black pants that is none other than Afnan turned towards the source of the voice behind him, a man running small towards him.
"Mas Shuwan." Said Ziva who accompanied his brother in his script trial.
"Bro lo must be enthusiastic, do not forget prayer, hopefully the trial is successful yes, so we can graduate together."
As a friend Shuwan should have supported Afnan, as two days ago Afnan encouraged himself and his trial was successful.
"Aamiin doain I Bro." Said Afnan with a serious face.
Shuwan circulated his gaze, but what he was looking for was nowhere to be found. "Where is your wife?, how come it's not here?." Shuwan asks who is looking for Alesya's whereabouts.
"I'm here."
All turned towards the voice, seen Alesya accompanied by Silmi smiled towards them, Afnan who saw the arrival of his wife immediately sumringah.
Now Alesya was standing before Afnan who was so happy because of his arrival. Anxiety and anxiety instantly disappeared from Afnan's heart, which awaited finally came as well.
"I'm sorry I'm late, and actually I forgot, I'm so sorry about you."
Alesya immediately put on a guilty face and clenched her hands in a gesture to apologize to Afnan who actually hugged Alesya tightly.
"Jazakillah khoiron My dear already wants to attend, it feels like I've calmed down and not nervous anymore."
"Wa jazakallah khoiron."
Their embrace finally had to be stopped because the name Afnan had been called to enter the courtroom, nervousness began to approach him again but Alesya calmed him down so that the nervousness faded.
"Bismillah." Alesya said encouragingly to Afnan who finally began to enter the room.
Prayer temples echoed from the mouths of Alesya, Ziva, Shuwan and Silmi who prayed for the smoothness of the thesis of the husband of his best friend.
After a while, Afnan walked out of the room, all of them immediately approached Afnan and asked if his trial was going successfully, but from his grim face hinted that what they wanted was not realized.
"It's okay, maybe it's not time yet." Alesya said giving an injection of encouragement to her husband.
"Yes Bang Af, there is no tomorrow."
Shuwan and Silmi nod their heads, lucky Afnan surrounded by people who still encourage him even though he has not said anything, but they have guessed nothing.
A beautiful smile was painted on Afnan's face making all who saw her confused and looking at each other questioningly.
"This is why I haven't said anything."
"Alhamdulillah I.., passssss."
Afnan's speech with his happy face was successful in making Alesya and the others exhale each other with relief and say Alhamdulillah almost simultaneously.
"Alhamdulillah, ishhh you have made me-"
"Fall in love." Timpal Afnan who deliberately completes the words of the wife who is incomplete.
"When is the graduation truck?." Tanya Alesya was then immediately nodding her head by Ziva who also questioned the graduation ceremony of the brother.
"Three more months, isn't it Bro?"
To make sure whether or not Afnan asked Shuwan to clarify his remarks which got a steady nod of the head by Shuwan.
"Three more months?, what date?, because Kak Alula would want to marry three more months as well?"
"It looks like two days after Alula married Sya, so in shea Allah did not crash anyway."
Thankfully, Alesya was able to breathe a sigh of relief because her husband's graduation event did not collide with the day that the brother released his bachelor.
∆∆∆∆∆
3 months later...
The wedding ceremony will be held soon, all the guests have filled the family home Ahyar Lazuardy. The groom-to-be has also occupied his seat which is in front of Penghulu who has also occupied his seat. Ahyar Lazuardy's father immediately filled the empty seat, which was right in front of the groom with his father sitting next to him.
While upstairs, her bride-to-be is already pretty in a cream-colored wedding dress, she is already sitting in the middle of Farha as her birth mother and Aiza as her mother, also Alesya who also polishes beautifully in a matching dress, like a mother, Alesya stroked the head of Ali who sat on her lap. Prospective Mama-in-law Alula had also gathered with them.
While waiting for the ijab qobulnya event to begin, Ziva who works as a photographer is busy capturing every beautiful face that is present accompanying the bride-to-be, and Silmi is now taking on her new profession of videoing every move and moment of Alula's happiest day which she already considers her own sister. Likewise with a pair of friends who are downstairs, Afnan and Shuwan both hold one camera each, then capture each of the most important moments.
The wedding ceremony also began, with just one breath Faqih said his qobulnya ijab smoothly after the father-in-law recited it first. Alula is now legally a wife just like her sister who was married first.
The marriage contract procession went smoothly, almost the same as the wedding contract procession Alesya at that time, only now there is Farha who attended the wedding of her eldest daughter.
With the tears of Alula's eyes scattered the embrace of her biological mother who also cried touched because the eldest daughter had complied with all her wishes she was very happy.
But not with Alesya, her tears fell slowly seeing them embrace, not out of shock but out of hurt, she said, he still remembers very well where on his happy day his biological mother did not embrace him as his brother obtained let alone the embrace of a mother, his presence alone there is no happy way it.
"Why Mama chose love, Mama attended and hugged Sister on her wedding day, but on my wedding day I didn't get it all, I'm also your daughter Ma, I deserve it all." Alesya said in her heart that was being scratched by the wound.
Alesya can only endure the pain alone even though her soul cannot accept it all but her heart will also not be able to damage the happiness of her brother and his family. Alesya could no longer pretend to be happy on this happy day, she fled into her room and was bowed to the floor of her room with a sobbing that could not be contained anymore.
"I'm your son, too, Ma, but why did Mama do all this...."
Which child's heart was not sliced when getting unfair treatment by his own biological mother, ignored even stared at like an enemy, that's what Alesya felt.
Suddenly, Alesya's eyes were perfectly rounded when she saw that someone was sitting in front of her and even wiped her tears.
"Infinite..."
Actually, Afnan had already noticed the look on his wife's sad face when he saw his sister-in-law hugging his mother-in-law, and he knew very well that his wife was currently enduring the sadness alone, and he knew very well that he was suffering from it alone, but he would never let the woman he loved cry alone.
"Don't cry, I won't forgive myself if you keep crying like this."
Not only did Alesya feel the pain in his heart but Afnan also felt the same way, she also felt guilty that this happened not spared her decision to marry Alesya even though her mother-in-law did not fully approve of her.
Alesya grabbed her husband's hand and grasped it tightly with both hands. "I'm sorry Afnan, I'm sorry, I haven't been able to make Mama love you as her daughter-in-law, I'm sorry."
At all Afnan is not interested in discussing about it, but why at times like this Alesya still thinks about the feelings of others rather than the feelings of himself that Afnan can read from the glare of his wife's eyes hinting about his sadness.
He hugged his wife very tightly not forgetting to land a kiss on her head. "Don't think about me, but just think about yourself." The hug slipped and Afnan cupped his wife's cheeks to look at her even deeper.
"Listen to me Yes, in Shea Allah everything will be fine, Mama only needs time to accept me as her daughter-in-law, and you don't have to worry, as long as God is a witness of our love, then God will melt Mama's heart in order to receive me, you must believe it."
It felt that at this moment Alesya's heart was calmer even she nodded her head with great confidence that what her husband said just now was true, she had to be patient to wait for that happiness to arrive.
Afnan can also smile to see his wife kink is no longer crying, even returning his embrace tightly.
∆∆∆∆∆
The wedding of Alula and Faqih has now ended with the end of the reception held in one of the luxury buildings of choice from the Faqih family, for tonight Alula and Faqih will sleep in the Faqih family house because tomorrow they have to go to Singapore so before going to Singapore Faqih invites his wife to meet with his extended family to be closer again.
"What are you doing here?"
Farha who had just come out of her room immediately approached her husband who was sitting casually beside the family home of Ahyar Lazuardy her ex-husband, actually Farha did not want to set foot in the house but for the sake of the smoothness of the wedding of his eldest daughter inevitably he had to spend the night in the house, the house that left his dark memories first, and the, fortunately, only one day and tomorrow he will return to his home in Singapore.
"Mama, this is Papa enjoying the night breeze here, because tomorrow we will return to Singapore, do not know why Papa feels comfortable here, because tomorrow we will return to Singapore, and Ahyar was so kind to me even though I was the husband of his ex-wife."
"What's this talking about, who's that tea doing?"
A cup of tea that David had just sipped apparently became the center of attention of the wife because the tea was not his wife who made it.
"It's Aiza's tea, she's also very good with Papa, they're a good family huh, Papa's happy to meet them."
There is no end to her husband praising the father of his children and the mother continued from his children, farha's ears were burning listening to it all possible if the one who was talking instead of her husband was sure she would pour tea into her mouth to be quiet immediately and not speak anymore.
"Mama, Papa."
The call from the doorway knocked them off and focused his gaze in the direction that called out to him.
"Alessa." David said when he saw who was calling him.
With a smile that expands Alesya began to approach Papa and Mama but immediately he was silent David seemed to understand the arrival of one of the daughters, he continued.
"Then Papa goes in first, Papa wants to play with Ali and Afnan."
David also left them and sure enough, he played with Ali and Afnan who were busy playing the plastation game with Ahyar and Aiza watching.
While Alesya immediately dismissed her awkwardness and sat down to replace David earlier. He looked at Mama who was facing straight ahead, the atmosphere became silent immediately with difficulty Alesya tried to change the atmosphere of silence.
"So tomorrow Mama will go home to Singapore with Kak Alula yes Ma?, why must tomorrow Ma, even though Alesya is still missing Mama and it looks like Afnan still wants to play with Ali too."
With a carefree face Alesya told her wishes that still wanted her mother not to rush home she also briefly turned to look towards Afnan who turned out to be easily familiar with her brother.
"We have to go home tomorrow, and the tickets are booked as well." Farha flatly did not even look at Alesya.
"Oh yes, two more days Afnan Ma graduation, how about Mama return home after Afnan graduated, because Afnan hoped for Mama's presence at his graduation."
Finally Farha wanted to turn to Alesya but the glare of her eyes was so sharp that Alesya was afraid to look at her.
"You didn't hear what Mama said, tomorrow we have to go home!"
"But Ma-"
"ALESYA!"
"Mama and Papa you are very busy with our work, you as a child must understand dong, after all there is a father with your Mother, right, for what we are present too, for what we are present too, the event is also not important for us, already Mama tired of wanting to rest."
Alesya did not think her mother was so angry with her that she did not speak in a loud tone and her speech was also nothing wrong, but why her mother to the heart scolded her, what because he did not obey his mother's words before not to marry Afnan so that until now his mother still harbors a sense of disappointment that can turn into anger.
"Astaghfirullahal adzim, strengthen the heart of the servant of Allah." Alesya's mind strengthened itself.
∆∆∆∆∆
The next day Farha and David actually returned to Singapore with Alula and Faqih. The tear was no longer able to hold Alesya, he said, he tried hard to see the brother had entered the car as well as Ahyar and Aiza who also shed tears to release the eldest daughter from their home.
A wave of hands accompanied the departure of Alula who did not stop shedding tears as well as Ali and David who sat in front. While Farha did not turn her face to look at Alesya who was already in tears.
"Sir let's go." Pinta Farha was followed by the taxi driver.
The taxi that took them finally drove slowly out of the yard of Ahyar Lazuardy's family home. Alula has gone with her husband to Singapore to live her new life.
"May you be happy son, my prayer is always with you."
"Mother will always miss you dear."
After the taxi car was not seen again, Ahyar decided to enter his house with Aiza who was never crying to let go of the eldest daughter. While Alesya, she had already fallen into limp because from now on the distance had separated her from her dear Brother.
Seeing the grieving wife makes Afnan get carried away and immediately embrace the wife's body very tightly.
"I'm sorry, I failed to get Mama to attend your graduation, I'm sorry, I-"
Afnan immediately stopped Alesya's increasingly hysterical speech in his cries, plus Alesya still continued to say sorry words that should not be said.
"Don't think about it, it's okay."
Afnan increasingly tighten his embrace so that the wife can feel calm and not think about Farha who can not attend the graduation ceremony because if Alesya continues to think about it it will actually make Afnan feel more guilty.
