Love at Dusk

Chapter 32: Two Choices

Aisyah seemed to nod her head, as if understanding the fatigue Reyhan felt. However, not fatigue due to work, but fatigue because the heart that began to feel branching, not firm in one place and make the sense of doubt and guilt increasingly felt. He wanted to turn around at the point he should have, but he had already walked far, enjoying every worry of the wrong person. “Iya Mas, Aisyah later to the room bring water yes, all you want ready water for the bath.” Reyhan smiled blandly, he nodded slowly and continued his steps into the room.

‘Hufft’ hela Reyhan, her outstretched hand opens the room door, loosens the tie and takes off her suit. He's tired. Tired of heart, tired of mind, and tired of energy. Why is it that when he leaves Rere everything feels so ordinary? No sense of caring and opinion to make Rere his wife? Why should he feel regret, worry and want to return to his side when he has made another woman his wife? Is this all fair to him? No, not at all. Why is his heart not given a strong and loyal feeling to one woman? Why-why. “Mas, here's the water, at first drink.” Aisyah's arrival stopped her daydream, she immediately shook her head slowly. Complaining just makes all this feel heavy. “Mas why? Dizziness?”

Reyhan raised his face slowly, “No, Mas again many thoughts.” Aisyah thrust the glass slowly, Reyhan slowly finished it off.

“Thinking what the hell mas? Try the story, Insya Allah Aisyah can help.” Aisyah sat beside Reyhan, waiting for her husband to answer.

Reyhan closed his eyes for a moment, hesitating to speak and opening his eyes again. Reyhan's body shifted towards Aisyah, staring doubtfully at Aisyah's serious face. “Gini Ayesha. If there are two companies that come together to offer cooperation, you want to choose which one?” Reyhan asked as an opening, not too detailed and not too flashy with what he was worried about actually.

“What do you mean?”

Aisyah put both hands on the bed, looking at Reyhan with a smile that had re-adorned the woman's face. “Honestly yes mas, already this week Mas it looks tired, always come home malem and not much chat. It turns out Mas again confused the same option for cooperation,” clear Aisyah honest. “Kalo according to Aisyah, Mas malem is praying istikharah, let be given a designation for a more appropriate choice for Mas. So when Mas signed the contract, Mas was satisfied with Mas's own choice.”

Reyhan was silent, unblinking and his mind drifted back. ‘It's too late. Aisyah's answer was so correct, but it was too late. Reyhan shouldn't have decided with his own ego back then. He should have prayed istikharah and asked for the right instructions for the woman he chose.’ Inner Reyah screamed. “But Aisyah, Mas has already signed a contract with company A, and now Mas's mind is instead headed to company B. Mas suddenly convinced that company B is more guarantee for this cooperation.”

Aisyah seemed to bite her lower lip for a moment, it was clear that the woman was thinking about what Reyhan was doing. “Kalo already contract, that means already tied Mas?” Ask Aisyah. Reyhan nodded. “According to Aisyah, Mas sure is the same choice Mas, Insha Allah choice Mas already. Because if Mas cancels the contract, they will judge Mas less responsible, less good also for the future, Mas. Aisyah knows from Dad if the problem of contract attachment is not a trivial thing, we must really think carefully Mas, and quite difficult also make the process of cancellation of the contract that has been signed Mas.”
