Rasidha Bidadari Clear-eyed

Chapter 45 - The Arrival of Amayra

It is undeniable how happy Rasidha is to feel freedom, a forced marriage that will soon end. He was already impatient to meet his family, especially the mother and wanted to hug her very tightly. 

"How is everyone doing?" 

"They haven't been okay since you left, your mother always cried when she thought of you." Zaid replied, moved, managed to take his daughter away with the greatest pride. 

"I miss them all so much, especially my mom."

"We'll be home soon, don't be afraid anymore because I'm with you." 

Rasidha replied with a smile, turned his gaze out the window and left his face in the wind. Very cool to feel, inhale the air as deep as possible and remove it slowly, let alone a smile on the face into an additional sweetener.

Rasidha's tears fell, while looking into the eyes of the mother who was only a few steps away. Slowly he walked and then ran away hugging his beloved mother. Everyone was crying happily, watching his arrival which they were so eagerly waiting for. He drowned his face in the veil-covered neck, crying with what he had seized. 

"How's Mom doing? I always think of you, especially Mom." Rasidha's sobs came out, venting the deep longing that had been in the dam.

"Mom's fine after seeing you, honey. Don't go again, I can't afford this." Sacred further deepened the embrace, she was so excited at the arrival of her daughter. 

He kissed Rasidha's cheeks repeatedly, everyone shedding tears with the encounter. 

Rasidha let go of the embrace and switched to family, like her grandmother, aunt, and cousin Ayna. While Saints approached her husband and hugged him with haru as a sign of gratitude. 

"Thank you for bringing our daughter back." 

"What are you talking about? Don't say thank you, it's my duty." 

"What if Felix comes back and takes Rasidha away?" Saints began to worry about thinking about it, moreover, the status of their son had already changed into a wife. 

"I'm the one who handled the divorce papers myself, and he won't have any more rights. Don't torture him, even touch him I won't." 

"Whatever it is, my daughter doesn't live with that mean guy." 

"I will always protect you." Zaid holds the promise to be carried to the last breath, protecting the family is his duty as the head of the family.

Everyone was happy again, a bad day had passed and was considered their toughest test. Now is the time to set the future, where Rasidha will start a new life again. 

Rasidha sat staring out the window of her room, she missed her room so much and was happy. Looking at the spatter that was pouring down on the plants, he smiled and deliberately opened the window letting the wind-blown rain speck hit his face. Now he was free, away from Felix's very stifling dwelling. 

But he woke up and made him very worried, the divorce papers were being taken care of but he was not sure if Felix signed the letter and would make his status hanging. Anxiety that rippled in the heart and even he was unconscious from earlier the door of the room was knocked. 

"Why are you daydreaming? Is it not happy to go home?" tanya Suci, carrying a plate of peeled fruit and a glass of milk, placed it on the nightstand and approached her daughter. 

"What if Felix doesn't sign the letter, ma'am? What status do I hang?" 

"That man is not easy to guess, he could have done everything he could to separate our families." 

"Your father can handle it. Oh yeah, outside there's Amayra. He came to visit you and was very happy when he heard about you being found." 

"Sir Amayra?"

"Yes, brother Afif."

"Did he come alone or with Afif, Mom? I don't want to see them especially Afif mas." Said Rasidha who refused, his heart was still filled with guilt for having married another man. She did not want to meet anyone in her future husband's family, a little depressing. 

Sacred understood what her son felt she stroked the girl's shoulder very gently and the loving gaze of a mother. "Amayra came alone, you'd better meet her!" 

"I seemed to lose face to meet their families, let alone my current status which is still the legal wife of Felix. I can't look Amayra in the eye." Rasidha continued to refuse to make Suci sigh, resigned about her son's decision.

"Well, if that's your decision. Mom go first and don't forget the fruit at the meal." 

"Hem." Rasidha looked at the departure of her mother who was behind the door, her feelings were not good and also chaotic when she heard one of the families from her prospective husband came to visit. How can he show his face? 

The sound of knocking on the door made him immediately walk to the source of the sound, thinking that it was his mother. But it looks like a veiled woman and uses a matching colored robe is forcing themselves to enter her room. 

"Rasidha, let me talk to you just once." Persuade the veiled woman who still imposes the will. 

"Here you go, brother, there's nothing to talk about anymore, everything's clear."

"Give me a chance and this won't take long," Amayra continued to try to persuade Rasidha while barging into the room. 

Rasidha who saw the situation of the veiled woman who was wedged at the door made his conscience moved and resigned. "Sorry Brother, I accidentally hurt you. Honestly for the time being I can't see Brother or the others, I'm so embarrassed and can't show my face which is still the wife of another man." 

"Give me a minute because this is so important." 

"Sister should just come out! Please forgive my selfishness this time, but for my own good and for all of us." 

"What are you talking about? No one blames you for this. This is the decree of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We as human beings can only do what we want, but believe me no one hates you and we are all very worried about you and Afif."

The words of Amyra made Rasidha speechless, let alone hear the final sentence which means Afif is not home. "Worrying about Afif? What's that supposed?" 

"From that incident, Afif didn't come home and we've been looking for him everywhere and didn't find him."

"W-what?" Rasidha was very surprised by this incident, his tongue felt faint because of the shock. Admittedly, the forced marriage hurt so many people, but she did not know so much about Afif's love for her.
