A month had been living in his parents' house, while Aldi was tormented with feelings that he himself did not know the cause. He forgets the sadness he always keeps in the small space in his heart, so forgets there is a still-living body that needs love and affection.


Anxiety that every day he felt as if he needed medicine, Aldi thought that he missed his wife who was gone, but the fact was indisputable when Aldi stared at the figura installed in his room, which is not good enough,it was as if that sincere feeling had been present and allowed Keana to leave peacefully.


At 1 am Aldi's eyes have not been closed even though he was sleepy, let alone the work today is very tiring, but his eyes are very difficult to fall asleep. Aldi decided to go to the kitchen to take a drink, but in a few more steps he headed for the kitchen, his eyes look towards the guest room which was then occupied by Keasa.


Aldi opened the room, there was nothing special about the white room, there was only a bed and the rest of the closet was only complementary items. Aldi drew closer to the bed and laid himself on the bed, he hugged the roll quite tightly, and over time Aldi fell asleep, as if hypnotized.

As the dawn of the morning dawn reverberated Aldi woke up and realized that he was not in his room. Aldi came out of the room and went to his room. After completing the morning prayer Aldi again laid his body on the bed, with his hands used as a pillow, Aldi stared at the ceiling of his room.


"Why do I feel uncomfortable like this, a greater sense of loss than before, am I starting to put my taste in Him? ah where possible" Aldi said in his heart as if talking and asking about the anxiety he felt.


Day by day the feeling of loss was getting bigger, Aldi who almost every day met his son in the main house as if not treating his longing. Keasa never met Aldi when he visited to see his son, only the nuclear family.


Today Aldi decided to come to the main house, Aldi resigned and intended to take Maika to go for a walk. When he reached the main yard of the house, it turned out that he was carrying Maika, the toddler was fussy and did not want to be carried by anyone other than his mother. Keasa is unaware of Aldi's arrival as he is busy singing to his daughter.


"Assalamualaikum" said Salam Aldi


"Wa'alaikumussalam "Keasa


Keasa turned his head towards Aldi and the gazes of the two met each other, his heart was beating fast, before he only saw Aldi behind the window of his room, only,and now she's face to face with her husband who she hasn't seen in weeks. Not much different from Aldi, whether the feeling of what he felt his heart was racing at the same time treating the strange feeling he had been feeling.


"Ma ..mas Aldi, tumben working hours come here?" ask Keasa nervously


"I am comforting myself, actually I want to take the two of you for a walk" Aldi said as if out of his deepest heart


Keasa was a little surprised to hear what Aldi said, he felt Aldi was wrong to say maybe what he meant was Maika and mbak Yuni.


"Oh, would you like to bring Maika? but unfortunately mas he was fussy since last night, so next time just bring Maika play it, Maika does not want to be carried by mbak Yuni" said keasa


"But he's comfortable in your arms"


"Yes, he doesn't want to be carried by anyone, all night he doesn't want to get out of my sling, even going to the bathroom is very difficult"


"Is he sick?"


Keasa shook his head.


"I've checked it many times, even she's fine, it's just that Maika became even more spoiled"


"Maybe he loves you very much"


"At least he loves me" muttered keasa who could still be heard by Aldi.


"I'm sorry" Aldi said


"For what?"


"For everything"


"Kee?"


Keasa who felt called also turned his head.


"Hmmh" he said briefly and looked back at Maika who was in her carriage


"We can start everything from the beginning" said Aldi sincerely


Aldi was determined to start a new relationship with keasa and he did not want to drag on in grief, because after all life had to continue,and Aldi does not want to waste his feelings and feel the regret that is getting bigger again.


When Aldi said that, his eyes felt as if asking for an explanation for fear that what he heard was wrong.


"What did you say, sir?"


"I said can we start all over?" sahut Aldi repeated his earlier remark.


Keasa still does not believe Aldi's words, he feels Aldi is playing tricks on him.


"Don't joke around" said Keasa and left Aldi.


When only a few more steps will enter the house, Aldi hugged him from behind.


"Please give me one more chance, I promise I'll fix everything. I beg you to let me be a husband and father to you and our son" Aldi said in plea and shed tears of regret


Keasa was determined to hear what Aldi said, mixed his feelings at this time, between happy, haru and doubt. Keasa was afraid that Aldi was just playing himself. Keasa who was carrying Maika turned her body towards Aldi, she looked at her husband's sad eyes as if looking for lies there, but unfortunately the eyes said otherwise.


"Are you serious about what you say, aren't you playing me?" keasa asked again convincingly


Aldi shook his head.


"I mean it, I just realized this feeling when you weren't around, the feeling of losing me got bigger when I imagined you actually leaving me,and I don't want to feel the loss for the second time, so please give me the chance to fix everything" Aldi said with sincerity.


Keasa smiled, and buried his head in the chest of Aldi's field, while his hands were still focused on carrying Maika. Getting that right Aldi was very happy, and he immediately embraced his wife and son tightly.


"I love you mas" said keasa sincerely.


Aldi was so happy to hear the statement of love from keasa, and spontaneously he replied.


"I love you too my wife" said Aldi who immediately kissed Keasa's forehead.


Inside the house Larisa witnessed everything from the beginning, before she wanted to forbid Aldi to meet her daughter, but the conversation after conversation she heard seemed to stop her steps. He saw the happiness that radiated in Keasa's eyes, such great happiness, that gloomy and reserved face as if it was gone. Larisa realizes that the happiness of her daughter is her little family, Larisa will not ruin that happiness, as long as she is happy then she will support her.
