Finding True Love Aishah

Aishah's return to Kampung Lapaman

Aishah enjoyed the trip. While on the train he did not close his eyes, especially when the train began to approach around his hometown. Aishah was really amazed by the natural scenery that spread widely along the road.

A large rice field area shows the rice that began to turn yellow. In the distance there is a waterfall that is vaguely covered with clouds so high. Beneath it is a clear stream that brings peace, a source of life for the water biota within. His heart began to feel peaceful, enjoying the natural scenery that he would hardly meet in the city.

"Waaahhh…"

Aishah smiled to herself while looking at the view from behind the window of the carriage. Aishah was stunned for a long time, fascinated by the beauty of God's creation that amazed every eye who saw it. To the extent that Aishah was unaware that the train had entered the stopping station not far from his hometown. After a long day on the train, Aishah finally arrived. Aishah deliberately set off after dawn to reach his hometown not late.

Aishah got off the train with a suitcase in her hand. A man who was old enough to approach him, he offered an andong to take Aishah to his destination. Andong or delman is indeed a fairly famous land transportation in the area of residence of both Aishah parents. Because it is environmentally friendly, andong is a special attraction for its passengers. Especially for people who have just come from the city or travelers who want to travel to the area.

Then Aishah climbed the andong offered by the man. On the way Aishah is treated to a view of the expanse of rice fields with irrigation water flowing on its periphery. On the left right side of the street, large trees lined up neatly welcomed Aishah's arrival. About half an hour ago Andong brought Aishah to his house. The house where his parents and siblings lived.

"Assalamu'alaikum"

Aishah knocked on the door of a house, outside which stood a large pendopo building made of wood with beautiful carvings decorating it. The house has a very large front yard. The yard was planted with many types of fruit trees. Ornamental plants and beautiful flowers no less grow there. There is a small fountain located in front of the pendopo makes a sweet atmosphere of the yard. There is also a pond around the fountain, with ornamental fish living in it.

"Wa'alaikum salutations."

There was a voice faintly heard from within. The sound of a key opened from inside. Not long the door opened. Looks like a pretty woman who is old enough to hold the doorknob. The woman was wearing an array and a kebaya, just like the clothes that Bu Sekar always wears. The glasses she wears add grace to her beautiful face. Like a betel nut halved, his face was exactly the same as Aishah, just looking older and wearing glasses.

"Mother.." Pekuk Aishah.

Aishah immediately ran to hug her mother.

"Aish, why don't you tell me if you want to go home today? I'll have no preparation to welcome you."

"Kan Aish wants to surprise Mom."

Still in his mother's arms, Aish is spoiled. It seems that Aishah misses the figure of the woman who gave birth to him in that world.

"Andini look who's coming."

Mom was screaming for Aishah's youngest sister. Looks Andini who came out of the room with the face of his pillow. Andini rubbed her eyes, she made sure who was standing hugging her mother.

"Sir Aish….."

After realizing that the first brother was coming, Andini immediately ran to hug Aishah. Aishah laughed and returned the embrace of her little sister. 

"Where is Mom?"

Aishah wanderlust looking for the figure of the Father that he did not see. Then Aishah looked at the face of her mother who had been standing nearby while unceasingly smiling, so happy to see her eldest son coming.

"Your father's in the backyard, drinking coffee."

Aishah takes her suitcase and takes it into Andini's room. Aishah immediately rushed to see the father.

"Assalamu'alaikum sir."

Aishah approached his Father's seat and grabbed his hand to shake his hand. 

"Aish when is coming? I didn't tell you if I wanted to go home now, I could pick you up."

"Hehe Aish wants to surprise you with the arrival of Aish sir."

Aishah sat beside her father's seat. Aishah looked at the expanse of rice fields behind his house. Here is Aishah's favorite place if she comes home. Because here he could see a vast expanse of rice fields, the sun rose and set every day.

"Here is still very beautiful sir in the middle of the construction that is on a vigorous - incessant." Aishah looked far ahead.

"It wasn't long ago that there was a company that wanted to build a factory there." 

He pointed to the place in question. Aishah looked at the place that the Father appointed.

"But you refused to sell your land. We all know what kind of impact we'd have if the plant were built in this place."

Aishah just nodded her head. In his heart, Aishah was very grateful not to be built a factory in his favorite place.

"Let's go in Aish, already want adzan magrib. You take a shower and clean your body to make it fresh."

He stood up and entered the house, followed by Aishah. Aishah immediately headed for the bathroom, Aishah's body felt all sticky. It seemed like the dust he had encountered on the street had followed him home and would not leave his body. Only after bathing Aishah's body feels refreshed.

"Aahhhh fresh, the water from the mountains directly is very refreshing."

After praying Isya' the Aishah family gathers at the dinner table for dinner together. Now the family formation is complete, Arya and Aryo twin sister Aishah turned out to have returned from college. They are currently completing their script.

"Aryan, Aryo…"

Aishah saw her sisters come out of the room and wanted to come to dinner together.

"When will Aish come?"

Arya who is the sister of the twins was shocked because there Aishah was sitting at the dining table with her parents and youngest sister.

"Now again Kak's thesis, we have a trial. So just waiting for graduation."

Now it was Aryo's turn to answer. Not only are their faces the same, but they are always compact in every way.

After dinner together. Aishah's family gathered in the living room to talk. Let go of the longing with the newly arrived Aishah. 

"Sir, Aish wants to tell you something." Aishah broke the silence.

"What a nduk, just talk." Mom chiming.

"Aish is getting married Mr. Buk." Aishah looked at her parents in turn.

"Pakdhe Budhemu has also told Father and Mother, it is up to Aish. If Aish feels right, we'll support you." You take a vote.

"Does Aish have to bring Aish's candidate here so that Mr Mother can get to know him further?" Aishah widens her eyelids.

"No need to nduk, Mr. Mother has entrusted you to Pakdhe Budhemu, so let Pakdhe Budhemu arrange everything. Budhemu also said that Radit was a good man, he was also a successful businessman."

Aishah smiled happily at her mother's words.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma'am.." Aishah hugged her mother who was sitting next to her.

"But if you think, there should be no engagement. Just a wedding. So the ring exchange event can be held finished ijab qobul."

"Aish, just follow how good sir is. But you can come to town with Aish?" Aishah pleaded with her parents.

"Mother, Arya and Aryo are going to the city with you. Later Mr and Dini will follow. There are still a few days to go to school before getting his semester break. You also still have some business that you have to finish first."

Aishah smiled as she nodded - nodding her head. They talked - talking warmly. Accompanied by laughter, Arya and Aryo are indeed the smartest to melt the atmosphere. They are most hobbies to joke around. After that, Aishah slept with Andini in her youngest sister's room.

As usual, Aishah woke up at four in the morning. After morning prayers and helping her mother in the kitchen, Aishah sat in the backyard of her house where Dad used to have coffee yesterday afternoon when Aishah came. Aishah enjoys a calm morning atmosphere accompanied by the chirping of birds singing with his excitement. Seen some farmers are working on their rice fields planted with rice. 

"Sir, how many days do you want to stay here?"

Suddenly the voice of Mother sitting beside Aishah surprised Aishah who was busy enjoying the cool morning air.

"Three days Ma." Aishah looked at her mother.

You better play around for a while to the neighbors house, greet them first. Your friends will miss you too.

"Well Ma'am, after breakfast and shower Aishah will mess around to the neighbor's house."

Sure enough, after breakfast and shower. Aishah went to her neighbor's house. Aishah decides to meet her friend Kirana. Aishah came to Kirana's house. Kirana is at home.

"Eh Aish, when did you come?" Kirana who was sitting in front of her house stood to see Aishah coming.

"Hay Kira, yesterday afternoon." Aishah approached her friend.

"Only?" Kirana invited Aishah to sit down.

"Yes, I'm alone. Pakdhe is still busy working, he will soon get a pension. So there's a lot of work for Pakdhe to take care of." Aishah smiled.

"I heard you're getting married soon? How can you bring the candidate?" Kirana smiled.

Aishah just smiled hearing Kirana question to him.

I wonder how your future husband's face is. But it's good that at least you won't be able to disturb the latitude anymore. So I can snatch the feeling of latitude from you. I wondered to myself with Lintang, how he could like you when you did not care about his feelings like this. 

Kirana continued to struggle with her own thoughts.

"Don't forget the invitation, we villagers can come, right?" Lintang glanced towards Aishah.

"What the hell are you, Kira, yes you can. I won't forget to invite my friends here." Aishah patted Kirana's shoulder gently.

I guess you forgot because you're a city person now. I will come along with Lintang later, surely we are like lovers who will certainly be more harmonious than you….

Kirana muttered in heart. Kirana is jealous of Aishah. Because the Latitude of the man she liked put feelings for Aishah. Even Aishah doesn't know about it.

"Let's go in, I'll get you a drink first. We're talking here."

Aishah and Kirana enter Kirana's house. Kirana tells me that she is not working. He wanted to find a job in the city. But Kirana doesn't know where to work. 

"Tomorrow if there's a job opening that would suit me, you call me Aish?" Kirana looked at Aishah.

"Yes, I'll record your number."

They eventually exchanged phone numbers. After a long conversation with Kirana, Aishah decided to go home.
