Callista put a plane ticket to Nusa Tenggara at the table, in front of Mahreen.The girl looked at the three tickets for a moment then looked at Callista who was smiling while raising her eyebrows.
"This what?" ask Mahreen.
"Don't you see?" callista asked in surprise and approached to check Mahreen's eyes.The girl irritatedly pushed her best friend's face away.
"You think my eyes are myopic? damn You!" namel Mahreen.
Callista laughed and sat down next to Mahreen. "Eventually you already know what a ticket is, what is it?" callista laughed again.
Mahreen snorted in annoyance for a moment. "I mean, what's your purpose for showing this ticket?" ask Mahreen.
"Would you help me?" callista asked her to turn her face into a moody one, the girl easily changed her face water and people were often fooled. Callista specializes in manipulating people's feelings using his stature.
Mahreen held his best friend's hand. "What's wrong?" ask Mahreen.
"I got a research assignment. My lecturer chose me a difficult task." lamented Callista.
"What task? how can you really be the same teacher as you? like he has a crush on you, so give difficult tasks so that you continue to stick with him." said Mahreen.
Callista sighed with concern, but actually his heart laughed, aaahh cemen you Reen....
"I don't know why. I was given the same assignment, to Nusa Tenggara to cover and examine the life of the Islamic religion in the past." said Callista languidly.
Mahreen scrunched his brows. "Islamic time telu?" lirih.
Callista nodded. "Yes, Islam is a kind of religion in Islam where the adherents only perform worship at three times namely Fajr, Lohor and Maghrib."
"Can't you?" ask Mahreen. "Any huh?"
"I'm actually curious, too, so I'm fine with the project" Callista said.
"You alone in there?" ask Mahreen.
"Sister Cholil will accompany me anyway. but, I will be lonely. if there are you, I will not be lonely there.we can also enjoy the nature of Nusa Tenggara as long as we do research." said Callista.
"Would you give me those three tickets?" ask Mahreen.
"Sister Cholil bought the three tickets, he's booked for tomorrow." Callista held Mahreen's hand. "You want to go with us to Nusa Tenggara tomorrow?" rengek Callista.
Mahreen nodded, "Tomorrow?! rowdy! I have no preparation!" exclaim that girl.
"Ahhh... calm down, you don't need to bring a suitcase. I have prepared clothes for both of us. anyway there, we can also shop for clothes typical of the community there.count-count researching while traveling, and, delicious right?" callista said encouragingly.
Mahreen weighed for a moment and he looked again at Callista's face, finally Mahreen nodded and smiled.
"All right, I'll come with you." replied Mahreen.
"Yeeeyyy... assyiiik.." cried Callista soaring happily. "I'll tell my partner then." he took the device out of his pocket and contacted Cholil via video call.
📲 "Hello, Assalamualaikum... Brother." say hello Callista.
📲 "Yes, Wa alaikum salaam... How is Ayunda? does Mahreen want to come?" cholil asked.His face was plastered full on the screen of the device.
📲 "Yes, Brother...he wants." replied Callista happily.
📲 "Good, prepare everything. Tomorrow we leave by domestic plane." said Cholil.
📲 "Wait, I have to tell Mamachka first." sidelines Mahreen.but on the screen, Cholil looks flicking his index finger.
📲 "No need. I have told Aunt Iyun to ask permission so that you can come with us to Nusa Tenggara. she agrees." replied Cholil with a smile.
📲 "Kok Mamachka directly agree?" mahreen asked suspiciously.
📲 "The reason for asking permission is the son of his very trusted friend." replied Cholil with a proud character. Mahreen and Callista cheered him on. Cholil laughed for a moment and then continued again. "Okey, I'm waiting for you two at Jalaluddin airport. Remember, nine o'clock tomorrow we've got to take off."
📲 "Okay Friend, I close first huh?" callista Pinta.
📲 "OK, see you tomorrow." said Cholil.
Callista deactivates the call and then keeps the gawai in the bag. the jilbaber looks at Mahreen.
"Okay, if you'll excuse me, tomorrow I'll pick you up and we'll go to Nusa Tenggara! yeeeeaaaa.." cried Callista clapped and got up. "See you tomorrow, my beautiful friend" Callista said and turned to leave Mahreen sitting in the park seat.
Mahreen met his best friend who entered the car and drove away from the residence.The girl then got up and left the park, entering the mansion.
...********...
Haidar did whatever his mother ordered.The man reported his marriage to KUA to be recorded and issued a Certificate based on the Certificate from the Toto Village, that Haidar was married to Aisyah in series.
Haidar had previously threatened Inayah if Haidar did not take care of his marriage within a week of graduation, he will be removed from his throne as the next president of Buana Asparaga Tbk and may be the leadership will be handed over to Haanish or Callista as an extension of Dewinta Basumbul.
Haidar was a submissive son, not because he was timid and cowardly, but he realized that he made a great mistake if he did not do the marriage wrong.Aisha's right as his wife would be wronged. the woman will not be able to get her rights as a wife.of course she will be considered unjust and inappropriate to be a leader.
the news of Mahreen's departure to Nusa Tenggara with Callista and Cholil was heard directly from Inayah who forbade him to visit Ali's residence until he married Aisyah officially. Haidar also obeyed and he understood why the mother had to take that to the two of them. Haidar who already knows the origin of Mahreen may have been able to let go of the girl, but what about Mahreen?
Inayah even went down directly to contact the judge of the Religious Court to ask for convenience.who did not meet the wishes of a Deputy Chief of the regional police about his son? just a day after Haidar entered the file, a marriage certificate from the Religious Court was issued and at that time Aisyah was officially in state law to be the wife of Haidar Ali Lasantu.
Aisha could not help tears of happiness when Inayah visited her at the boarding house, handing over the Marriage Certificate on behalf of herself and Haidar.
"After this, you two have a reception.I want all the important people in Gorontalo City to know who my son's wife is." Inayah said flatly.
"But Mama.. I'm just one.." said Aisyah.
"Widow? old man's wife?" guess Inayah made Aisyah speechless. Inayah sighed. "Why are you insulting yourself? what's wrong with your status? I'm also a widow, an itchy widow who likes other women's male temptations... The actor! you're not an actor." he said again.
Aisyah nodded her head while looking down.At that moment the door opened and Aya Sofia appeared wearing a school uniform.
"Assalamualaikum.." his reply and the child's stride saw his mother sitting down in tears while in front of his mother sat a parobaya woman wearing a police uniform complete with a rank mark and a medal of honor.
"Mother.." said Aya Sofia made Ayesha rise and step up to welcome her.
"Sofi just got home? is the lesson over?" ask Aisyah gently. Aya Sofia nodded then looked at Inayah.
"Well, this is your daughter..." Inayah waved to Aya Sofia. "Come, son." call him.
Aya Sofia looked at Aisyah. the jilbaber nodded. "That's Sofi's grandmother.let's go there." whispered Aisyah softly.
Aya Sofia releases the bag and is held by Aisyah. The child then steps closer to Inayah.the parobaya woman then reaches Aya Sofia's body and sits the girl in her lap.
"Waahhh. you've grown up." said Inayah.
Aya Sofia smiled widely. "How's Grandma doing? healthy?" aya Sofia.
Inayah widened her eyes and smiled. "Of course Grandma is healthy. Do you think your grandmother is unwell?"
"Not." replied Aya Sofia. "Sofi was just happy to meet Grandma" she said, making Inayah smile and hugging the girl more intimately.
"You want to be Grandma's granddaughter?" ask Inayah.
"Surely I will." replied Aya Sofia. "Who wouldn't want to have a great grandmother like my grandmother?"
"Ah, you are indeed good at licking your grandmother's heart." mocked Inayah while pinching Aya Sofia's cheek. "Go to your room now. Grandma still wants to talk to your mother."
Aya Sofia nodded and came down from Inayah's lap.The boy took back his school bag that was lying on the sofa and walked away from the room. Inayah picked up the device and contacted Haidar via video call.
📲 "Assalamualaikum... Yes Ma. What's wrong?" ask Haidar.
📲 "Ke kostnya Aisyah now. fast." Inayah's orders.
📲 "Well Ma.." replied Haidar. Contact is disconnected and Inayah reinserts her salary.
"Now you're happy?" ask Inayah.
"Sorry Ma... What kind of happiness do you mean?" asked Aisyah, the parobaya woman in front of him shook his head.
"Did you feel happy during your time with Haidar?" ask Inayah.
"Aaahhh... honestly, that feeling has not strengthened Ma." replied Aisyah with a bitter smile.
Inayah nodded. "A very natural thing.is not Haidar the second person to touch your heart? there may still be a little taste to the first person."
"Mama misunderstood.." said Aisyah with a smile. "My feelings that have not strengthened are not because I am still reminded of my ex-husband, but more towards not being able to guess correctly the contents of Haidar's heart. Honestly, I myself am often confused by his attitude. Haidar is sometimes gentle and considerate, sometimes his arrogance is overdue but in general, he loves Sofi very much. I accept him because he accepts Sofi, and Sofi also accepts him."
Inayah. "He is similar to his great-grandfather Adnan, but if you can win his heart, Haidar will love you more than himself."
"Are Haidar and Haanish siblings?" ask Aisyah.
"Secondung...not siblings." replied Inayah. "My husband has three wives. I as the first wife gave birth to Haidar. Rosemary Hasegawa is his second wife, giving birth to Haanish... Ivanka Korkov was her third wife... Mahreen."
Aisyah was stunned by the last sentence that Inayah said. "Mahreen?"
Inayah nodded. Aisha smiled confusedly. "Isn't...nat Nurmagonegov?"
"That's his foster family's clan." replied Inayah. "Later, once you become part of the Lasantu family, you will know the twists and turns of our family."
"Are you not jealous of the two honey guys on your side?" ask Aisyah.
Inayah smiled. "Are you asking or interrogating?" inayah's banter made Aisyah only able to blush. "How come I'm the number two person lined up by the regional police, I'm being questioned by my own daughter-in-law."
"If Mama does not want to tell it. I also do not force." said Aisyah.
Inayah nodded and replied. "The only concubine I had with me was Rosemary Hasegawa, and Ivanka Korkov was left behind by my husband in Russia. I myself learned of Mahreen's whereabouts after being told by my husband before he left for Transylvania, about to fight with Sergey Basarab. that's why I asked the boy to stay with me at Ali's house because it was in accordance with my late husband's message that I should look after his sons and daughters, not Haidar."
"Did Mrs Rosemary not cause any disturbance to you?" search Aisyah.
"You think?" inayah Fishing.
"I won't be as strong as Mama. I could have hit Haidar and the other woman.I don't like being pitted" replied Aisyah.
"Every woman has her own principles" Inayah said. "I live with my concubines like brothers. Rosemary even thinks of me as her older sister and often spoils with me...." Inayah returned to light. "Indeed, when it's gone.it just feels..really, until now, I missed that girl so much. she was like a little sister I don't have..." Inayah looked at Aisyah again. "I only remind you of one thing..."
"What Mama?" ask Aisyah.
"The sons of Adnan Lasantu's descendants have both a curse and a grace.that is, a flamboyant nature that makes them have charms similar to the Prophet Yusuf and Queen Zulaikha, at least you hold his heart so that if he is forced to be double. his heart remains attached to you." said Inayah.
"But Ma. I can't wait." protested Aisyah.
"You need to be ready, but don't be paranoid.... Haidar dislikes bullying the most. In his blood flows the nature of a lion. That's why, so hold his heart so that it is always attached to you.born his descendants, then he will not be able to release his responsibility from you... Haidar is as wild as his late father.he is a fighter, also a man who has an aura of the ruler.." said Inayah.
"Mama's right." interrupted Aisyah with a smile. "Sometimes when I'm upset and sometimes I want to refute it, I can't afford it. I don't know why it sounds like it contains the word I have to do.... Haidar did have the aura of a ruler.." the face of the jilbaber became moody. "But, what if he said he wanted to be double..he even said he wanted to marry Mahreen..."
"But the boy already knew that Mahreen was his real sister" Inayah said.
"But what if there is another woman who wants.." lamented Aisyah.
suddenly the door opened and Haidar went straight in. "Do you think other women can easily knock my heart out?!" sergeant Haidar made Aisyah jump in shock while Inayah just looked at her son.
the door of the room opened and Aya Sofia appeared, she looked at Haidar and her smile grew.[]
