Evening arrived, the sun had hidden behind his complaints. A pitch-black night welcomes man, as if hinting to stop and rest in the cradle of a dream.
But not so with a girl who is undergoing private lessons from her aunty. Aisha is in the bedroom of aunty Rania. The woman said to remind Aisha of her promise. Promise to help him change Arthur's persona. There was actually a veiled intention in it, aunty just wanted to harden their relationship. He believes Aisha's presence in the monotony of her niece will have a good impact on her.
"So first, you should communicate with your husband as often as possible. " The first direction was listened to well by Aisha.
"What's aunty for, why don't you just do it? You can advise Arthur to change his cold and arrogant attitude, "Said Aisha staring fixedly at the woman in front of him.
"If I had said so, Arthur would have answered yes aunty, yes. But he won't realize it. So since you're his wife, you should help aunty "Say softly, then caress Aisha's mane affectionately. " Most importantly you have to be nice to him, not cold, not indifferent, not tidy and"
"Always smile "Sargah Aisha fast. So often said aunty, he was fluent in all his teachings.
"Smart girl, now make coffee for your husband. " It's been pushing Aisha's body out of her room. "Hurry up, don't let Arthur go later. " His sweat while looking at Aisha's back that started to drift away.
I'll bring you together. Inner aunty Rania in heart.
Arthur, who was struggling with a laptop and some important files in the workspace, turned his head for a moment when someone knocked on the door.
He scrunched his forehead when Aisha came with a cup of coffee in hand. Put the coffee in front of him with heart.
"What are you doing here? " Task Arthur in wonder.
"Bringing coffee to you "Aisha answered with a smile. Although his heart is not in line with the veil of his face. He did this only for the happiness of Rania's aunty who was like a mother to him.
"Emm, you can go. "Arthur grabbed the cup, gulped it down to half the toilet. The drowsiness was slightly reduced, moreover he had to overtime until night.
The girl nodded, swinging her legs out of the room towards her room.
Arriving at his room, he immediately broke down. Staring at the sky - the sky of the room while imagining the face of his mother who was smiling towards him. And shortly thereafter, his eyes closed. He was asleep in his subconscious.
Meanwhile Arthur, who had finished his work, entered the room, snatching the car keys. He looked for a moment at his wife who was falling asleep.
Then the man went out into the garage.

A little boy was hiding under the bed. With trembling hands, bristling fur and a cold sweaty forehead. He could only watch what was happening from inside.
"So you're not giving up yet? " A heavy voice of a man echoed throughout the room.
"Until I die, I won't go with a beast like you! " The turn of a woman's circus voice is heard. The child is only able to listen to what is being argued in silence.
Only able to silence and try to muffle the sound. His eye beads were still faithfully recording every scene witnessed. I don't know what they said next, and soon the sound of gunshots bursting - tubers rang out in the ears.
Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!
"Mother!!! " Aisha woke up from her dream. With a hunting breath, he rubbed the sweat on his forehead. The shadow of the dark past haunts him back. He thought, after Pither's death, the shadow would disappear by itself. But the prediction is wrong, bad tregedy a few years ago still hangs in the mind. Dancing - nari in the head as if mocking him.
The girl swept around the room with her irises. The moment he regained his senses, the room became pitch-black without a single light. Not a single beam of light hit the corner of the room.
Groped the nightstand beside him, then grabbed a flat object from there. He turned on the flashlight, then looked for Arthur's number there. Once, twice, three times, but there is no law.
Until he decided to stay there. With cold sweat sinking in, Aisha tried to calm down. He wrapped his body in a blanket, drowning his face there with bent knees. If in his mansion first, at least his father or brother will come over.
Clutching and stroking his back was calming. But now he's alone. Stayed with a man who had no idea where he went.
A few minutes later, the creaking of the door greeted Aisha's hearing. Shortly after, the girl felt the bed move. He is increasingly afraid in fear, his trauma is indeed one of the weaknesses among the many potentials it contains.
A burly arm held him possessive. Just like Yudhi did when a scene like this happened. He felt the warmth, Aisha went down to hold him tightly.
"So don't go anymore. I'm afraid. I had a dream about mom. " Sweetnya. Thinking that it was her brother, then she clenched him tightly. Drown the face on the man's chest.
Arthur kept patting his wife on the back. Until the sound of his breathing began to be regular, Arthur also dropped into bed. They slept together covered in a pitch-black night.

The next day, Aisha opened her eyes. He saw the peaceful face of Arthur who was very close to him. It turned out that the one who came last night was him, the inner girl. Slowly, he lowered his feet on the floor. Stepping to the bathroom to clean yourself.
It was a hot day, today is a holiday. Everyone was relaxing in the house, except Arthur of course. On weekdays and weekdays, he keeps himself locked up in his study. His hands ran agilely on the keyboard of his favorite rectangular object. Like there's no fatigue doing it all day.
One of the servants came from the door, approaching the young lady who was still cool with her activities.
"What's wrong? " Tanya Aisha.
"Outside there are people who claim to be sister miss. Mr. Yudhistira his name. " Said the servant with his head bowed respectfully.
Aisha nodded, then with her excitement the girl ran a little closer to the door. Directly hugging her brother tightly, let go of longing after a long time did not meet.
"Come brother, "Hold Yudhi's arm to the sofa. They both sat there.
"How are you? " Base stale before to the core of the conversation. Yudhi was so worried for her sister, day and night she hoped that Aisha would be comfortable and live happily in her place. Also hoping that Arthur will treat him properly.
"I'm good. How're you? " Aisha asked back.
"I'm fine. "
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"No, actually I've been in America for a week. " Lang Yudhi. Aisha was shocked.
"Why are you here now, brother? " Task the girl in wonder.
"Because there is business with one of the businessmen here, so you focus there first. Today I'm just coming home, so my brother just met you today. "
"Is there a problem? " Say Aisha again. Judging from the look in his brother's eyes, he was like hiding something. Aisha understood, for Yudhi could never lie before her. But if she does not want to tell a story, Aisha will not force it either.
"Nothing, look at this. " Putting a brown paper bag that he is carrying.
"What'sthis? "Aisha. Expel contents.
"Your favorite meal" said Yudhi followed by a soft caress on his sister's head. "Sister will leave now. " Said later.
Before Aisha opened her mouth, Arthur emerged from the direction of the stairs. Tidying up his shirt buttons. He approached the brothers.
"I want to talk to you with four eyes. " Looking flat at her sister-in-law.
"What's wrong? " Sahut Yudhi is no less flat.
"Come with me. "Arthur passed from before them. He leaned his feet towards his study. The curious Yudhi finally followed behind the man's footsteps.
At Arthur's office, though,
"What's wrong? " Yudhi went straight to the heart of the conversation. Tele tele tele is not his habit except with his family.
"There is something I want to ask "Repair his sitting position to be comfortable in the sofa. Then looked back at the intense man before him.
"Hemm, say! "
Arthur sighed for a moment, he remembered the words of his wife last night. In his mind, he wanted to dig up information about Aisha's mother's death. What caused the tragedy, and also how their years of revenge began. He wants to know everything.
"Tell me about Alina's mother. " Arthur's words made Yudhi gasp. His past, something that still hangs in his mind. He tried to forget but not power. Even after Pither's death. The rest of the grief of the event at that time still leaves traces of trauma of his sister.
But for a moment Yudhi thought, perhaps by exposing some of the complexity of his family's life to Arthur, would reduce the burden of his mind. Maybe after Arthur knows a little secret, he will be able to better protect his sister.
"You must have known about Aisha's trauma " Yudhi said with a flat expression without her expression.
Arthur frowned in surprise, not understanding the direction of the conversation. " You mean"
"My brother was traumatized by the darkness. Thousands of psychologists have been presented to treat it, but still there are no satisfactory results. " Sounds a heavy breath blowing from his mouth. It was like he was bleeding a very deep wound.
"He has trauma? " So that last night was one of his wife's trauma symptoms?. Arthur thinks he's just plain scared, because usually women will shudder in horror when there's no light.
"Yes, it all has to do with our family's past. " And from there, Yudhi explained everything. All the past things he wanted to bury inside. How his mother's murder happened, a series of dark past events. Arthur looked carefully. He digested every word that came out of his sister-in-law's mouth.
Seriate....
