Finding True Love Aishah

The return of Mr. Banu

Radit and Aishah walked in haste. In his mind Radit felt that he had never done anything wrong until he involved the police. For whether the police came to the house at night, he thought.

"Good night sir" Radit looked at the few people sitting together on his living room couch. Hearing the sound of the residents of the house coming, they immediately looked up and stood up from their seats. How surprised Radit and Aishah, it turns out that the man who was sitting with the police was Mr. Banu.

"Dad?" Aishah seemed to frown, Aishah felt a bit hesitant to mention that the man standing in front of her as her father-in-law. Because Mr. Banu now looks older than his age. Her hair was a bit thick with gray hair everywhere. His face was filled with a crackle that almost covered his cheeks. The appearance of his clothes now looks messy and shabby, in contrast to Mr. Banu who always appeared with neat clothes. Mr. Banu also looks thin, it seems he is not well taken care of.

"Good night, Mother. Is it true that this Father is Mr Raditya Bramantyo?" The policeman once again assured him that the man in front of him was properly named Radit.

"True sir, I'm on my own. And this is my wife Aishah." Radit introduces Aishah to the police.

"Look sir, three days ago we got a report of missing persons. From the files we have, this father is named Mr. Banu Bramantyo. Someone who was lost in the abyss five years ago. We've been looking for families everywhere. And Mr. Radit's the only family we can call." One of the policemen explained at length.

"Dad? But how did you find my father back after all this time?" Radit felt somewhat confused by the circumstances he was facing right now.

"This father who has found Mr. Banu and took care of him until now." The policeman pointed at the old man standing next to Mr. Banu.

"True Mas, Ma'am, I found Mr. Banu about five years ago in the forest. I was looking for firewood in the woods. I accidentally saw someone lying under a tree in a terrible situation. I even thought that Mr. Banu was dead. With fear I approached Mr. Banu and after I checked it turned out that Mr. Banu was still alive. Then I took him to my hut which was in the field." The old grandfather stopped his words for a moment to take a breath. His breath was already wheezing because of his old age.

"I took care of him in my hut, because I couldn't afford to take him home. The distance of my house with my field in the forest is quite far, seeing the body of Mr. Banu is large and full of wounds, I think it is impossible to bring him home alone. Finally I went home first to ask the help of my son and neighbors to bring Mr. Banu home. After being treated for three days at home with simple traditional medicine, Mr. Banu finally began to realize. But Mr. Banu doesn't remember anything. Even whoever he is Mr. Banu does not know, especially when we ask about his family and his place of residence. Mr. Banu instead complained of his headache." The grandfather looked towards Mr. Banu and took a deep breath.

"We finally decided not to ask her about her identity. Because we're afraid Mr. Banu is trying to remember his past and give him another headache. During his coma, Mr. Banu continued to deliriously call his son named Radit. We only continued to treat him painstakingly until his condition gradually recovered. And one week ago, suddenly Mr. Banu complained of headaches again, it turns out he can remember his name back. Mr. Banu continues to look for his son and wife. He said his son was named Radit. Then we reported it to the police." The old man told me so long that he looked exhausted. He tried to regulate his breathing which was already boring.

Radit and Aishah continued to pay close attention to every single word the grandfather spoke.

"Radith? Are you a big boy now? I miss you so much, where is your mother now? Then who's this woman?" Mr. Banu approached Radit and touched his shoulder. Mr. Banu seemed to be watching Aishah in confusion.

So I forgot the memory. Dad's memory is still not fully recovered.

Radit muttered in his heart.

"What! Dad doesn't remember Aishah's own daughter-in-law. And Mother? Mom died a long time ago Dad even before Radit married Aishah." Radit held his father's shoulder.

"What! What caused your mother to die? Right now I miss him so much." Mr. Banu began to shed his tears.

Cih, if only Dad remembered, that the cause of Mother's death is Father himself.

"Mother was in an accident after finding Dad…." Radit stopped his words because Aishah nudged Radit and shocked him.

"Father's accident mother, she's been gone a long time. You have to be strong." Aishah looked down at the face of the father who had bowed down sadly. Aishah deliberately disconnected Radit's words because he could not bear to see the situation of his father who was still concerned about it. Aishah did not want to make her father-in-law even more depressed.

"Sorry before Mas Radit and Mbak Aishah, not that I want to be presumptuous, but I beg you, Mas and Mbak never say something that makes Mr. Banu depressed first. Because his soul is weak. Because for five years Mr. Banu was with us, Mr. Banu had a very noble heart. Mr. Banu always taught us to always do good and help each other. Mr. Banu always helps every citizen who is in trouble as much as possible. Please love Mr. Banu with all your heart, do not say anything that can make him hurt, even if it's the truth before Mr. Banu really recovers with his memory." The old man really loved Mr. Banu.

Radit as his only son was never such attention. The old grandfather resuscitated Radit, making Radit feel that he was not a good child all along. Radit never listened to his father. However the mistakes his father had made, Radit should not have been a brash son to his father. Finally Radit realized his mistake all along to his father.

"Good Mother, thank you for caring for our Father so well and lovingly. Maybe if there's no Grandpa, we don't know if we can still meet Dad or not until now." Aishah lowered her head a sign of respect and thanks to the old Grandpa.

"Well then, our work here is done. Excuse me first." One of the policemen said goodbye. They lowered their heads and left.

The old grandfather and middle-aged mother who had helped Mr. Banu also said goodbye to go home. However, Aishah immediately prevented it. Aishah wanted to say a special thank you to them. Radit also arrested them. It seemed like they were really good people, so Aishah wanted to return their favor a little.

"Good sir thank you." Radit responded to the police's words.

"Please sit back, Mom." Radit allowed his guests to sit down.

Finally they are ready to have dinner together with Aishah and Radit. They seemed to enjoy the menu provided by Aishah. It looks like they come from a family that is not capable, which comes from the village. It can be seen from their very simple way of dressing and behavior. However, they still uphold manners and manners. They keep their ethics and behavior while in the house Aishah and Radit very well. Although they are very amazed by the wealth possessed by Aishah and Radit, but they can still maintain the attitude.

"Sorry, our Kek has not been able to get acquainted, if I may know whose name is Grandpa and Mother?" Aishah looked smiling at both of her guests.

"I'm Rinto Mbak and this is my son's dance." The old grandfather introduced his daughter who was sitting next to him.

"Where are you guys from?" Aishah was still curious.

"We're from out of town, our house is in a village near the forest." Mother Dance answered. She looks shy.

"Your house is far away, you must be very tired of going around looking for this house. Then you stay here until your energy recovers. Tomorrow, if you're going home, we'll take you home." Aishah smiled kindly at them.

"Wah Ma'am Aishah is very good to us, but there is no need to bother like that. Tomorrow we'll go home on public transport." Grandpa Rinto felt bad.

"It's okay, Grandma, we're so glad you've helped and cared for Dad until now. Think of it all as a form of our gratitude that may be nothing compared to what you have done with our Father all this time." Radit took the vote.

Finally Grandpa Rinto and Mother Dance could not resist anymore. Then after dinner finished Grandpa Rinto and Mother Dance slept in the guest room. The rooms in Aishah's mansion are indeed many. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. Below are three bedrooms. So Father and Grandpa Rinto sleep in the lower room, and Mother Dance in the other guest room below as well.

Aishah was worried, she had already prepared the guest room downstairs for her bed tonight. However, the room has now been occupied by Mr. Banu. Then Aishah decided to sleep in the upper guest room only.

The night was getting late, everyone had now entered into their respective rooms. Now only Radit and Aishah began to walk up the stairs. Aishah is too heavy to step foot into Aishah's room with Radit. Her heart had not been made if she had to sleep in one room with her husband, let alone the room that her husband had used to betray Aishah.

When Aishah steps into the guest room on Radit, she pulls her hand until Aishah stops her.

"Where are you going? Our room's over there." Radit pointed at his room room with Aishah.

"I'm just gonna sleep here." Aishah refused to look Radit in the eye.

"But this room is still a mess and it's already night. You better sleep with me. After all what will Father and the people below think of us. If I'm gonna figure this out how will Dad feel?" Radit tries to seduce Aishah into abandoning her intention to sleep in the guest room.

Forced tonight, Aishah had to abandon her intention to sleep in the guest room. Aishah doesn't want Dad and his guests to think that's okay. After all, Grandpa Rinto also advised not to make Mr. Banu feel sad first. Aishah dragged her steps towards the room. Aishah felt heartache, it felt if remembering the incident this morning, the wound re-gapped wide and felt very sick.

After entering the room, Aishah's memories reappear making the events she saw seem real. The shadow of Radit and Kirana continued to overshadow his thoughts. Aishah was no longer strong if he had to linger in this room.

"Where are you going Aish?" Radit saw Aishah coming out of the room.

"I'll sleep in the next guest room, I can't sleep here anymore." Aishah breezed past away.

Radit followed Aishah from behind. He saw Aishah was cleaning the bed that had not been used for a long time. Radit approached Aishah and hugged her from behind.

"Sadly I know, I've made a terrible mistake, I'm really self-absorbed. But please, just give me one more chance. I promise I will never repeat that mistake again. I really can't lose you Aish." Radit further tightened his embrace making Aishah unable to wart in his arms.

"It's not just that, brother. But Aish realized, Aish is not a perfect woman. Aish can't give you what Radit's been wanting a child." From the corner of Aishah's eyes can be seen starting to river.

"I don't care about that. All I know is I just love you. I want nothing but you and your love." Radit is still trying to convince Aishah to come back with him.

"Is Brother Radit willing to wait for Aishah until Aishah is healed and can have children? And if that doesn't work out, will Brother Radit be able to accept Aishah for what it is?" Aishah began to raise her voice.

"Surely Aish, I will accept you even in the worst possible circumstances. So let's fix our current relationship." Radit turned Aishah's body and dropped Aishah in his arms.
