That night Raffi could not sleep. Esha's shadow was always playing in his mind. Raffi tried to close his eyes but still he could not sleep.
"What are you doing, baby? Have you reached your village? Are you okay?" raffi murmured in his heart.
A lot of questions came to Raffi's mind because he was too worried about Esha. Raffi stood up and grabbed his phone which he put on the table. Raffi tries to contact Esha again and again.
"The number you're going to is off or outside the service area.." (the voice of the operator).
"Damn!"
Raffi throws his phone on the bed.
Raffi glanced at the clock on the wall of his room. The clock shows at 1 am. Aulia had been asleep since. Slowly Raffi stepped into the kitchen to get a glass of water. After that Raffi went into his study. Raffi sat in his chair thinking about Esha until he fell asleep there.
Aulia opened her eyes when she heard the sound of the dawn. Aulia was surprised at not seeing Raffi beside her. Aulia searches for Raffi to the bathroom but Raffi is also not there.
"Where is Raffi?" inner Aulia.
Aulia exited the room and searched for Raffi in every room. Aulia also entered Raffi's workspace. Aulia was shocked when she saw Raffi sleeping in his chair. Aulia approached Raffi and tried to wake him up by shaking Raffi's shoulder.
"Sir Raffi is awake"
Raffi slowly opened his eyes.
"Lia"
"Why does Raffi sleep here?"
"Night I can't sleep so I..."
"Can Raffi not sleep because he thinks of Alesha?"
Raffi nodded his head.
"Now Raffi's brother took a shower so Lia can make coffee for Raffi's brother. We are ready to go to the airport"
Raffi wakes up and goes to the bathroom. Aulia went to the kitchen to make coffee. The housekeepers were already busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for their employers.
After breakfast, Mr. Imron escorted Raffi and Aulia to Soekarno Hatta airport. Raffi deliberately invites Aulia on a plane so that Aulia is not too tired during the trip. Raffi had booked two tickets to Yogyakarta through an online application last night.
**********
Garuda Indonesia plane Raffi and Aulia had landed safely at Adi Soetjipto airport, Yogyakarta after taking a flight for approximately one and a half hours. Raffi and Aulia came out of the arrival gate and took a taxi to Klaten. Raffi gave a piece of paper that read Esha's address to the taxi driver.
"Please take us to this address!"
"Well sir" said the taxi driver while welcoming the paper.
Half an hour later, Raffi and Aulia's taxi entered Esha's village. Raffi's heart pounded. Raffi could not imagine when he met Esha and her mother later.
"Darling.I've reached your village to pick you up. I don't know if you want to come back with me?"
"Are you going to be mad because I'm looking for you?"
"What should I tell your mother?"
"Will your mother accept me?"
"Are you going to kick me out?"
There are a lot of questions in Raffi's mind right now. Raffi is afraid that Esha and her mother will not accept her arrival.
Raffi glanced at the clock on his wrist that showed it at 10 a.m. Taxi stop in the yard of a minimalist green painted tosca house that looks simple but clean and well maintained. A middle-aged woman came out of the house after hearing the sound of a vehicle stopping in her yard. That woman is none other than Dahlia's mother. Ms. Dahlia deliberately took a leave of absence today because she felt unwell.
Raffi and Aulia get out of the taxi. Raffi told the taxi drivers to wait for them. Ms. Dahlia was shocked when she saw two unknown people start walking towards her.
"Assalamu'alaikum..is this really Alesha's house and Dahlia's mother?" raffi asked while brushing his smile.
Bu Dahlia was still dumbfounded to notice the two people before her at this moment. Their faces are not foreign. Miss Dahlia seemed to have seen them but she forgot where. Bu Dahlia looked at Raffi and Aulia from the tip of their feet to the tip of their hair without blinking.
"Mother.."
Aulia chimed in because since then the woman in front of her was just silent.
"Eh yes. wa'alaikumsalam. I'm Dahlia's mom. Who are you guys?" ask Dahlia in surprise.
"We're Alesha's friend ma'am. We want to see Alesha. Is Alesha home?" ask Aulia.
"Esha is going to the pharmacy to buy medicine for mom. Let's go in"
Dahlia, Raffi and Aulia enter the house. Then they sat down in the living room chair after Dahlia's mother invited them.
"Is mom sick?" raffi asked a little worried because he saw that Dahlia's face looked pale.
"Mommy just dizzy a little, later after taking the medicine also healed.. Sorry I stayed in the kitchen for a while" said Ms. Dahlia then stood up and stepped into the kitchen.
A few minutes later Dahlia appeared with a tray of three cups of warm tea and cake.
"Mother bring warm tea please drink and taste the cake" said Ms. Dahlia while putting the tea and cake on the table.
"Thank you ma'am" said Raffi and Aulia.
"Oh, where did you come from?"
"We are from Jakarta ma'am" said Aulia.
The deg!
Dahlia's heart was racing. Suddenly he felt bad after hearing the word Jakarta. His face changed instantly.
"Sister Raffi?? Aulia??" exclaimed Esha who was already standing in the doorway of her house with a packet of medicine in her hand. Suddenly the package slipped from Esha's hand and fell to the floor.
Bu Dahlia, Raffi and Aulia turned towards Esha. They immediately stood up after seeing Esha. Bu Dahlia was shocked after hearing Esha's words.
"Oncea..."
Aulia approached Esha and hugged her. Esha kept quiet without replying to Aulia's embrace as she was still shocked by Raffi and Aulia's arrival at her home. Esha glanced at Raffi who was standing while looking at him. Their hearts were pounding incoherently as their gazes met.
"Darling I miss you so much. Do you also feel what I feel?" inner Raffi.
Aulia let go of her embrace. Then Esha picked up the package of medicine that had fallen to the floor.
"Esha so these are...your husband and his second wife?" ask Bu Dahlia to make sure.
Esha nodded her head. Ms. Dahlia was sitting limp after finding out who was visiting her house. Raffi and Aulia were surprised because Dahlia already knew everything.
"Alesha sit down we want to talk to you" Aulia said, drawing Esha's hand. They sat side by side on the sofa.
"Mother take this medicine first, let Esha talk to Aulia and Raffi" Esha said as she offered the package of medicine to her mother. Ms. Dahlia welcomed the package and then went to the kitchen.
"Alesha I know everything. Raffi told me everything..."
Aulia was silent for a moment then continued her sentence.
"I've been trying to figure out who Raffi really loves. It turns out you're Alesha's. At first I thought you had betrayed me, you had taken my husband, you had ruined my household. But it turned out that I was the one who took your husband, I was the one who destroyed your household. I'm sorry Alesha.." said Aulia with tears in her eyes.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing to you Aulia. You're already too good. You already consider me your friend but I betray you by hiding everything from you. I'm sorry Aulia..."
Esha was unable to hold back her tears anymore. Esha and Aulia hugged each other while crying.
Raffi was moved to witness the scene that was in front of him at this moment. Without feeling her tears even dripped onto her cheeks. Raffi quickly removed it. Ms. Dahlia who listened to their conversation from the kitchen also shed her tears. After being satisfied in tears, Aulia let go of her embrace.
"Now talk to Raffi, I'm out for a while" Aulia said and stood up and stepped onto the porch of the house.
Raffi approached Esha and sat down next to her. Raffi grabbed Esha's hand and grabbed it. Raffi who had been silent since then finally opened his voice.
"Esha.. will you come back with me? I love you so much. I can't live without you. When you left me, I was looking for you at the station like crazy but I didn't find you. I really feel like I lost you. It hurts so much. Don't you feel what I feel? Why did you leave me, baby...?"
"I'm sorry Raffi but I was forced to leave you. I want you to live happily with Aulia and the baby in her womb. Please forget me. Start your new life with Aulia. She's a good girl"
"But I don't love Lia. I just love you, baby..."
"Learn to love her brother! I don't think it will be hard for you to love her because she will soon give you a child. A child who will bind you for a long time..."
"But I can't lose you, baby.. Please stay with me!"
"Sorry, but I can't. I don't want to be the third person in your household because everyone knows that only Aulia is your official wife. I don't want to be labeled as an actor or a destroyer of people's households"
"You're not an actor, baby, you are my wife. If you want I'll legalize our marriage"
"That's not necessary. Just divorce my daughter!!" exclaiming Bu Dahlia who appeared arrived from inside.
Esha, Raffi and Aulia who were outside were shocked half to death hearing the words of Dahlia ma'am. Aulia immediately rushed inside.
"Divorce???" raffi exclaimed as he rounded his eyes after hearing the words of Bu Dahlia.
