The Chosen Heart Part 2

Who Anindita?

Anindita's arrival on that day had made Isna's day grim. No, she's not just a friend of her husband's. His attitude and his way of looking at Isna seemed to affirm that she was the woman who once filled Dani's heart, just as Isna filled it today.

" Mom, "Mom Pri called him, trying to convince him Isna was okay.

" Yes, Pri."

" Isna's mom is okay, right?"

Isna looked at Pri ." How looks?"

" Not to be so thoughtful, ma'am. Even if there's something between them, it's the past. Mas Dani's present and future is Isna's mother."

" Mad Pri has been with Aa's family for a long time, not knowing about Anindita?"

Before replying, the simple woman took her breath. " If I'm honest, I've heard his name called, a long time ago, when Dani was still in High School. But only now have I met the man."

" Until his name was ever mentioned in the middle of that family, it meant something serious."

" Not really, Ma'am. Only then did I hear that Anindita's parents did not agree with their relationship, then sent Anindita to school abroad. Anindita was living in Surabaya. Dani Mas

High School in Surabaya." Isna listened to all the sentences that came out of Pri's mouth.

" What makes me confused, Ma'am, where does he know about this house. About me," Isna still could not let go of her thoughts from the events earlier.

There are many things that make Anna curious.

Ma'am Pri who was asked could only answer with one sentence, "I don't know, Ma'am."

It's free to wonder for yourself. Finally, still struggling with her heart, Isna decided to wait for her husband to come home. To be able to solve all the questions that burden his brain and heart.

But before that, there was still something else that Isna had to do. Finish the job, so as not to disappoint the customer.

Everything that needs to be done is done. Stay packing. And take it to the place of order. That's Arif's job.

Before Ashar arrived, Dani's personal assistant and driver arrived, with a new vehicle bought by his father-in-law.

Conversation for a while, after that Arif also carried out his duties to deliver orders.

Isna went up to her room. Waiting for Ashar prayer time while opening his phone. Application of the Qur'an in focus. Try to read some verses of the Qur'an, to calm the feeling of being unsettled.

After reading a few verses, a video call came into his phone.

"Assalamu'alaykum Geulis, what else?"

Dani contacted him.

" Aalaykumussalam, Aa. Again waiting for Ashar time."

" Aryen was there?"

" It's been."

" Have you left to deliver the order?"

" It's been."

The expression on Isna's face that was seen by Dani was very unusual. So does the intonation of his voice. That finally made Dani became astonished.

" What are you doing?"

" Why?"

" Not as usual. It hurt?"

" No."

" Isna, if anything say dong." Dani was really confused to see Isna like that.

" Yes, I'll tell you everything."

" What?"

" All that's nothing."

" Why are you?"

" I'll tell you everything. I can't say on the phone."

" Don't confuse Aa dong Neng. Why the hell?"

" Later home."

" Yes, then Aa's coming home now."

" Yes already."

" Assalamu'alaykum."

" Wa'alaykumussalam."

Is this a trial that I have to accept? Dani's past is coming, and will the past do something to hurt her heart?

Isna was afraid of heartache.

The time had already shown at five in the afternoon when Dani arrived at his house. Had met Arif who just finished the Ashar prayer.

Speaking for a while, Arif asked himself, saying goodbye.

Dani immediately headed to her room, she wanted to see Isna immediately. But she did not find Isna in her room. Dani finally decided to clean up first, in the bathroom in her room.

Finished cleaning himself and changing clothes, Dani went down, looking for the whereabouts of the wife.

I met Pri under the stairs.

" Sir Pri, do you know where Isna is?"

" It's in mushalla, mas. Last abis jama'£ah same me and Arif."

Dani immediately stepped her foot towards the small mushalla that was at the back.

It turned out to be true, the woman was sitting while reciting. When Dani entered with a greeting, Isna answered without looking back.

Dani sat next to him.Don't say anything, Dani even dhikr.

Isna looked, at a glance, then continued her dhikr.

" Neng, what's wrong?" Seeing the unpleasant feelings related to Isna, Dani took the initiative to give in.

" There was a woman, so beautiful, coming here." Isna's voice was barely audible.

" Oh yeah? Continues to?" Dani brought her face closer.

" his name... A-nin-di-ta," Isna's voice intonation sounded a bit pressurizing at the time of mentioning the name of the luxurious woman.

Dani's facial expression instantly changed, no longer as calm as before. Surprised, of course. The change in his facial expression was clearly visible to Isna.

" Shocked? Didn't expect it, did you?"

Dani seems to want to say something, but it seems difficult. I don't know, maybe he's busy with his own heart. Is it because her past love is back? Confused, having to tell Isna her past? The real past he wanted to cover from Isna, but this time he had to open, because Isna already knew, even if only a little.

Isna will definitely continue to urge him, to know more about Anindita. There's a story that was never told, which Dani now has to tell.

" Will not answer?" Seeing the husband just speechless, Isna increasingly convinced that Anindita is the past that Dani does not want to share with Isna.

" It's okay if Aa doesn't want a story. But please tell him never to come here again, for whatever reason. Especially just to introduce yourself as the 'best friend' of my husband."

" His coming here?!" Dani was surprised.

" yes. How do I think I know about him?"

" Where does he know this house?" His surprise turned to confusion.

" Yes, how do I know. Ask yourself, call him. Maybe he missed, hasn't seen you in a long time, has he?"

Sinis Isna's answer. Dani realizes that Isna is jealous. Not only jealous, but also angry. His eyes were implying that very clearly.

Dani shifts her seat, becoming face to face with Isna. Both hands took Isna's hand.

" So the story was there was a woman came here, claimed to be named Anindita, is that it?"

" Yes." Yeah."

" What else did he say?"

" Greetings to Dani from Dita."

" That's all?"

" That's all?!" Isna was a bit emotional hearing her husband's question. " I want Aa to be honest with me, tell me, who is she?!"

Dani sees the beautiful face of his wife, who is usually friendly, becoming lost to her friendliness. It was very visible that the emotions were stored in his heart. Dani has a tough job, explaining everything about Anindita.

Heavy duty? Yes, because indeed Dani never wanted the name mentioned in the middle of his small family, which he was trying to build with sweet and beautiful expectations.

Dani does not want any past that bothers him, especially the past is Anindita, because it will certainly make Isna not calm.

But now, all was partially revealed, making Isna very eager to open it wide, knowing everything.

Dani took a deep breath, it was hard for her to let Isna know everything. But inevitably, dislikes dislikes, Isna should know. Because if not from Dani's own mouth, it could be Anindita who will reveal everything.

Anindita deliberately came to Isna to reopen the old sheet that Dani had thrown away. I don't know what that means. But it's Dani's job to find out.
