Love For Aisha

19 ~ Rujak

A week has passed. This morning Aisyah suddenly did not want to go to college even though she was ready. This, of course, astonished Azam.

"You sick?" asked Azam who saw Aisha's pale face.

"I don't know that either, Mom. I think it's in the wind. My head is also dizzy," explained Aisyah.

"Yes, you rest at home. Don't be weird at home, yeah!" order Azam before leaving for campus.

Aisyah nodded obediently while escorting her husband's departure to the front door.

"Be careful, Mas," cried Aisyah as she waved her hand.

Azam also waved his hand before entering the car. "Yes. I'll be careful."

.  .  .

Unceasingly Aisyah inhaled the aroma of eucalyptus oil. His stomach was like being stirred up wanting to take out its contents. It feels so nauseous.

Aisyah kept massaging her nape, she tried to let out a turbulent taste inside the stomach.

Aisyah's body is getting weaker, her face is also soft. Sleeping is also uncomfortable.

Aisyah walks into the kitchen to make warm tea, hoping to ease her nausea.

Aisyah also thought of good food to chew. When he opened the refrigerator, he saw the guava and mango brought by Nabila yesterday. Quickly Aisyah immediately took out guava and mango. Aisyah wants to taste the fruit. Not ready yet, Aisy has swallowed her saliva.

"When it is understanding," murmured Aisyah while peeling mango skin.

Aisyah's eyes sparkled when she saw the results of the concoction had been presented on the table. Since then Aisyah was impatient for the seasoning she had mixed with young mango that she had just peeled.

Delights. One word that Aisyah felt at this moment. The tummy that had been turbulent had now started to calm down. The head that had felt dizzy now also disappeared

Aisyah also felt astonished when a plate of rujak had ludus unceremonious. Only a spicy taste was left in his mouth.

On campus after finishing teaching and there is no schedule anymore, Azam chose to go home immediately considering that this morning Aisyah was not feeling well. He was afraid something might happen with his wife.

On the way home, Azam's phone rang. A call from Via.  Azam doubted when he wanted to raise the call. He just threw his rough breath. Maybe the decision he made was right. For now he should focus first on Aisha. 

Because the call never lifted, Azam's phone kept ringing. The name Via continues to float on the screen of his phone.

"What the hell he wants." said Azam with a long sigh. Out of curiosity, Azam finally raised a call from Via.

There was a cry from across the phone, making Azam suddenly very worried about the state of Via.

"Via, what's wrong with you?" ask Azam to panic.

Still sounding sobs Via. "Azam.. help me…"

"You calm down first. Where are you now. I'll be there soon."

After the call was cut off, Azam immediately drove swiftly towards where Via was. His current hope soon reached the destination and Via was fine.

"Via.." call Azam.

Via immediately turned his head and immediately poured into Azam's arms while sobbing.

Azam who did not understand with Via's attitude just remained silent expressionless. There was no intention to return the hug from Via until finally Via chose to release his embrace.

"Azam, I'm afraid." The woman fought Azam.

Azam looked at Via. "You calm down, sit here. Let's tell you what's wrong? What are you afraid of?"

Via back sobbing. "I'm afraid Ferdy y, keeps terrorizing me, because I don't accept my decision. I'm afraid Azam!"

Azam did not know what to do. To be honest, he could not bear to see a woman crying in front of him.

"I'm afraid to go home, Azam." he continued.

"Vi, you should be able to solve your own problems well. I think Ferdy has a reason behind it all." Azam looked at Via.

"The reason is that he didn't accept breaking up with me."

"Azam, you can help me, right? Let me stay at your house for a while. I'm afraid that Ferdy will come and do something unwanted. I beg you, may ya. I'm not going to take your nicotine. I promise." Via pleading with pity.

Azam was still silent considering his decision. He could not immediately agree because, he also had to keep his wife's feelings. However, Via is a woman who once stopped in his heart first.

"But.Vi, sorry before. I can't take you to my house. Because I have to keep the feeling of ice. Please understand, yes," Azam said gently.

Via was disappointed. The results did not match what was expected. Azam rejected his wish.

"You must not be afraid! If Ferdy suddenly comes to your house, call me immediately."

Via looks up. Maybe Azam's words have a point. Alright even if he failed his first mission, he could continue with the second mission.

"Yes, I understand. I'm sorry I have troubled you," Via said with guilt.

Azam nodded. Feeling that there was nothing more to discuss Azam chose to go home.

"You don't worry, if there's anything call me right away. Connecting you has calmed down, I go home first ya." said Azam.

Via smiled as he nodded. 

He stared at Azam's back until he could no longer be seen. His heart ached, like slashed sebilu when he saw Azam prefer a pretentious woman than himself.

"Aisha, you have to pay for everything! I should be with Azam, not you! You're just a village woman who's a little pretentious." Highlight the eyes of Via full of hatred.

Even in his heart, Via has promised to avenge every pain that has scratched his heart.

"Wait a minute, I'll definitely haunt your lives!"
