Flashbacks..
Aisyah who is still cleaning all her stuff is approached by a cute girl dimpled on the right. He smiled as Aisyah looked at him.
"Mother, we're leaving now, right?" the boy asked, he was one of the kindergarten students named Intan.
"Yes, Honey. Your father is also waiting," replied Aisyah as she rubbed Intan's head which was an orphan. His mother died in childbirth due to severe bleeding.
"Asiiik, later we play swing swing ya, ma'am."
Aisyah only smiled behind her light brown veil, even so Intan knew so she replied to him much wider.
Aisyah wakes up and leads Intan out of the classroom. Many already know if the teacher was indeed a relationship with the father of one of the students there but still not sure where their relationship direction because it seems to still be in place.
Intan who saw his father from a distance immediately ran to hug the bespectacled man who was a Lecturer at one of the Universities in the city.
"Ayaaaaaah--, has it been a while? I was waiting for Mom first," he explained immediately who forgot something that is greetings.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas," said Aisyah who slightly lowered her head.
"Waalaikum greetings, so we go?" ask the man named Haris.
"Yes, it was Intan who asked for delivery" replied Aisyah who rarely refused the invitation of the little boy.
Haris then nodded, he then opened the front door for his daughter and the back door for Aisyah or the two women were both behind him.
For Aisyah, sitting next to Haris who is still a nobody, including very close let alone in the car, so offended or not Aisyah will still choose behind her own or both with Intan.
The car drove at medium speed towards one of the malls in the city the three deliberately came there to buy one dress that Intan will wear at his friend's birthday event tomorrow afternoon.
The child seems happy because his hand is now held by two people he loves one right hand by the father and one left hand by the teacher Aisyah Mother as well as the woman he always wanted to so mother later.
if the uninitiated would probably think they were such a harmonious family despite the fact that Aisyah and Haris had no relationship whatsoever even though everyone knew they were close enough all along.
One of the shops was chosen by Aisyah, with very painstaking and attentive she tried one by one the dress that fit in the body of the 5-year-old child. Sometimes there's laughter, annoyance, sometimes, disappointed and also the headband done by Intan as a form of expression or answer that he gave to Aisyah while Haris only smiled knotly seeing the two favorite women were still busy choosing clothes.
"Haven't?" ask Haris.
"Already, Mas, Intan chose this white color for her to wear later," replied Aisyah.
"Well you and Intan wait here to pay first."
As usual Haris would order food for the three of them, and without asking Aisyah he already knew what the veiled woman wanted. A little Haris understands everything he likes and dislikes just by observing it.

Almost an hour pampering the tongue with a variety of eating menus until quite full, now they switch to the children's play area. Intan really likes to go there so never once missed by him.
"We just wait here, let Intan play" Haris told Aisyah.
"Yes, Mum."
"Aish, we've opened it once or twice to go together like this, Intan is already very comfortable with you. I'm single and so are you, can I justify you quickly?"
Do not go, to talk like this it seems Haris has been many times but he has not got a definite answer from Aisyah. The beautiful woman seemed to just hear without even opening her voice.
"Otherwise you doubt me, I love my daughter, Aish, dear person" continued Haris, if she can feel eager to grab Aisyah's hand to convince the woman more, but unfortunately it could not happen because to look into his eyes deliberately and for a long time it was very difficult.
"Sorry, Mas. I don't have an answer yet. All this time I've been honest I only helped Intan because he asked me for help."
"But you are not only helping but also filling the void in her heart that thirsts for a mother's affection" Haris said.
Aisyah is really like a lamp in the life of Haris and Intan since the heart of their house does not exist, said a soft word, said, warm hugs and attention so great that Intan has a different taste in the teacher's mother. Who initially left accidentally now continues with a plan even with a clear purpose and daylight which certainly must be in a crowded place also including the Mall.
"But can you accompany Intan to the birthday party tomorrow? I have business at the same hour" Pinta Haris.
"Let me give you an answer tonight, I ask your permission first, Mom."
"Well, I'm waiting for you tonight in the hope that you will go with Intan, I just trust you, Aish."
Not even the woman replied, the sound of crying so very familiar they sounded loud enough that Aisyah and Haris woke up from sitting simultaneously.
"Witho!" squeal the two reflexively when absolutely sure if it is indeed the sound of the boy dimmed.
Aisyah quickly ran on the tail also by Haris who entered the play area. There they witnessed firsthand Intan was crying while raging, and the only way Aisyah had to first calm Intan who started tantrum by screaming to roll on the floor.
From this that sometimes makes Haris think many times to marry again because he knows enough if his daughter has a bad nature when sulking upset or angry. He is not sure there are women who can accept the customs and nature of Intan and unlucky it is precisely Aisyah....
