The Chosen Heart Part 2

Solve the Problem

Towards Ashar. The rain started to fall one by one. Isna and Dani are on their way home. As happened before, if Anindita appears surely Isna's mood will be clouded.

There was one question that stuck, but Isna could not ask, for fear that the reality of the answer would be disappointing.

The journey home from Anne's mother's house felt long because Isna chose to be quiet, not want to spend her time talking, even just talking about small things was reluctant. It feels better that way.

" Neng, sorry?" Either that's the apology I've had several times today, which Dani has already conveyed to Isna.

Isna simply replied with a faint smile.

" Reply dong Neng."

I don't know until when something like this will end. Every time the luxurious woman came, every time Isna felt uncomfortable, disturbed and finally there was a debate between Isna and her husband.

And it always ends with an apology from Dani. Then reconcile, Isna tried to restore the atmosphere back cheerful, as if there was never anything. In fact, like storing a time bomb that can explode at any time, the problem just settles, waiting for someone to come and trigger the explosive to return to give a shocking powerful thunder.

Fatiguing. Isna was very tired.

How does it react to it?

At this time the woman came back, bringing news of her illness. Sad story, trying to find sympathy and empathy.

Again, how does she deal with it? Participate? Make peace and let him approach Dani again under the pretext of friendship?

It's not that easy.

If Dani still wants peace in her household, Dani must stay away from Anindita. Whatever the reason, Isna could never feel the peace of the household as long as the woman still came to Dani.

The car Dani drove finally brought the two of them back home. The rain is still falling. Isna got out of the car, and half-runningly avoided the rain, trying to get to her porch.

" Eh, here's the umbrella," Dani was just about to throw an umbrella, but Isna had already left it.

Finally, umbrella was used. Dani got out of the car without an umbrella.

" Why play in the rain?" dani asked while trying to clean Isna's wet face. But Isna dodged, without saying anything she left Dani.

Soon Isna came in, wanted to clean up and change her wet clothes.

After bathing and changing clothes, Isna prepared to pray Ashar.

Dani goes into her room, and must find Isna's still unfriendly face.

" Neng, already dong, don't be angry continue. Aa gets sad when we get like this."

" It's not me who made it like this."

" Yes, Aa's sorry. Already yes, no longer angry yes, angel."

" It's always like this. I was angry, Aa apologized, then came back as usual. He will come again. Make the atmosphere so not peaceful, we are fighting again. Aa apologize again. I am very capeeeeek. It's never gonna be over."

" Well, how can we be at peace again?"

Isna looked at Dani with a look of wonder. " No need to keep asking. Aa already knows what it should be. Just pretend you don't know."

Dani approached, about to hold Isna's hand, and quickly hid her hand. " I have wudhu."

" Should Aa break the relationship with Dita?" Dani asked naively.

" It's up to Aa." Isna left Dani. Not prolonging the debate. Free.

Get down from his room on the second floor, then enter the musholla. Preparing for Ashar prayers.

" Uh mbak Isna." I met Pri in front of a musholla.

Isna only smiled a glance, a stale smile.

Isna saw a confused face when Pri saw her reaction.

When going to pray, Dani entered. Take a position up front, become a priest.

Isna shifted her alphabet backwards to make room for her priest. So did Pri

Finish Dani's prayer turning over, giving her hands to kiss by Isna. Isna did it too. Just that extent. Then Isna busied herself with dhikr and prayed.

After she finished without making small talk to her husband, Isna quickly took off her face and went out.

The goal is the kitchen.

Pri's mother followed behind him.

" How, mbak? I help you, what do you want to cook?"

" So mbak Isna asked for soto ayam. I want to make some spices for the sauce. I want to fry emping. Same fried gehu*."

Isna immediately intervened, making the contents of the gehu.

Next Isna busied herself with cooking.

Dani stood pecking near the kitchen table.

" What's wrong?" Ma'am Pri asked, confused by the attitude of Isna and Dani.

" There's nothing mbak. Biologicals..."

Pri looked at Isna. " Ordinary what the hell is mbak?

" It's common to make the atmosphere so not peaceful."

Pri's mother looked at Dani and Isna alternately. He's totally confused.

But he did not ask. The question will only provoke Isna's emotions. It is better for him to be quiet, enjoy the atmosphere that is not pleasant to enjoy.

Isna makes dough for frying gehu. Dani watched everything Isna did.

Isna did all the work in silence. Without a sound.

" Neng, "Dani called his wife. He couldn't stand Isna's silence.

Isna looked at Dani. " What?"

" Done is it ?" Dani memelas's.

" What?" Isna pretended not to know.

" Halfless. Don't get stuck, huh? Aa's not strong."

Isna only glimpsed.

" By dong. Sorry, yes?"

" Yes." Yeah."

" yes? Neng sorryin Aa?"

" yes. Haven't you?"

" Haven't. How could it be, Neng still did not want to talk."

" It's me again."

" Solve all our problems, don't get used to holding the problem without any solution."

" Sir, I'll stay first? I want to talk to this father first." Isna said to Pri.

" Yes, ma'am."

" Let's talk, if there's anything we need to talk about."

Isna walked to her room. Dani followed from behind.

On the balcony of her room, while looking at the still wet ground with the rest of the rain, Isna began to speak.

" Why is there always that name between us anyway? Can't Aa close the door for him? "

" I'm sorry, Aa just didn't think she would cut her ties."

" What kind of devil would you have to hide from me? Let me not know, do you? Why?"

" I'm sorry, Aa does not want you to know, because you certainly still can't accept Anin coming to see you.

" It could be, if you're not acting suspicious."

" Sorry, Neng. I can't be honest with Neng. Indeed there was still a feeling of caring for her, and Aa was afraid that it would hurt Neng."

Isna was about to open her mouth, but quickly Dani stopped her by talking again. " Care as an old friend, not as anything else."

" That's. I still can't take that. Whatever you say, he was the one who filled your heart. You loved so much."

" That's the past, Neng."

" Yes, that's the past. But I've told you, who knows about matters of the heart."

" It's hard if Neng has started to suspect that he continues to be rich in gini."

" Yes, it's hard. Forever there will be uncomfortable feelings, which eventually bring an atmosphere not peaceful. As long as that woman still comes into our household life."

" Continue, Neng wants Aa to do what so that our relationship can be peaceful again?"

" Whatever it has to do with him I should always know. Don't hide anything about him from me. If necessary, never see him again."

" That's what Neng wants?"

" yes. Able?"

" God willing, be able."

Isna looked at Dani, "I'm holding it."
