The In-Law Choices

Chapter 7

After being satisfied to embrace each other's longing, Aisyah told her kelus kesah to Fatimah, the faithful mother of the orphanage to care for her affectionately. The aged woman patiently took care of all the orphaned children moreover Aisyah, she considered her like her own child.

Albar was entrusted to a woman who took part in caring for children in this orphanage.

Aisyah recounts how she was treated by her in-laws when she was just married until now, her abuse, indifference to Albar and her in-laws who often compared her to other women.

"Prophey, baby! All of that there must be a silver lining, which is important that you and your husband strengthen each other, no matter what storm hits your marriage, if you interact positively with each other then it's good to be her". Fatimah said.

Aisyah was bowed lethargic, this was what caused her to be weak and helpless now. The man who had been his spirit crutch all this time, had clearly been a double before him.

"My husband cheated on me with his ex-girlfriend ummi, the woman who had been my dream daughter-in-law, my choice-in-law, happily reclaiming my husband". Lirih Aisyah was sad.

Fatimah was astonished, she could understand the subject of Aisyah until the woman's face was tangled like that. He also felt how painful Aisyah's day was at this time. Fatimah again embraced Aisyah channeling her strength.

"What do you want now, baby? Are you willing to keep your marriage? If you can, then keep your husband, meet the woman to get away from your husband!". Fatimah's advice, but got a headband from Aisyah.

"No Ummi! Caught clearly in my eyes Rehan's true intentions, he looks so eager to marry his ex, even had time to introduce him to me last night, they assume I'm not sick and do as they like their day without caring about my feelings".

"What else my father-in-law looks very happy with the arrival of his ideal son-in-law, I became a wife who has no right to forbid my husband to love another woman, he still has not moved on from that woman, Ummi" Lirih Aisyah with a hoarse voice held the pain in her chest.

"Keep what are your plans going forward? If you parted with Rehan, how would your son feel? Divorce is not as beautiful as you imagine, Shah". Fatimah reminded Aisha. However, she had gone through a bad time after divorcing her husband.

Fatimah recalled the bitter times of her time when she had no money for demanding her husband's divorce without the slightest preparation to visit in court.

But he is good because he still has the foundation of the hospital where he lives, like his pain he still survives for the sake of this foundation.

Aisyah was downcast, she also did not know what to do now, she was also afraid of taking rash decisions. She also saw the struggle Fatimah when she divorced her husband when she was a child, the foundation was also in an economic crisis at that time. The burden grew on Fatimah's heart but she was strong for her and the other children.

"That's it! We're gonna hire the best lawyer in town, you calm down, women don't have to keep giving up if they keep getting hurt without anyone appreciating our presence". Fatimah tried to provide a solution so that Aisyah remained happy despite having to part with the man who had been supporting her.

Aisyah looked up at Fatimah, a glimmer of vigor back in after hearing Fatimah's suggestion just now.

"When are we going to meet that lawyer ummi?".

"You calm down first, Ummi will contact Ummi's friend who used the services of the complainant, he said the complainant easily defeated her ex-husband during the conference, get custody of all his children and a lot of gono gini treasure".

"Yes ummi, I'm waiting for news from ummi aja". Aisyah's face was frivolous, her spirit flared back after finding a solution that could help her escape from the entanglement of her marriage that could benefit her as well.

Aisyah was astonished to see the room that had been neatly decorated with many balloons and handmade paper flowers. Aisyah looked intangible with the sight she saw along the hallway of the foundation entrance.

"Why was it that when I passed through this hallway, not decorated like this Ummi? What's the decoration just in pairs?". Aisyah asked confusedly.

"No really! This decoration was ready from last night, we all family members in this foundation are so enthusiastic about welcoming our guests, so we did not sleep two nights decorating this hallway so beautifully as now!". Imbuh Fatimah, his face looks beaming waiting for the arrival of the honored guest.

"Who the hell, ummi? Don't make me curious, must be gebetan ummi, yeah?". Goda Aisyah's. He forgot for a moment with his problem seeing Fatimah's face as if she was kasmaran.

"Wish, there are you! Who wants to be with an old lady like this ummi, baby? He was the donor who contributed the most into the foundation of this orphanage, he was the son of the owner of a very large and famous company, what is the name of the company, ummi forgot. . .he's a charismatic man, very kind, generous, loving . ..."

"It's perfect that guy well, Ummi". Sindir Aisha. Fatimah was silent.

A Pajero sports car stopped in front of the foundation gate.

Everyone ran out to greet the driver. Aisyah followed their steps, she saw Albar being carried by Ms. Yanti in front also welcoming the man. Aisyah approached him wanting to take Albar from Yanti's mother.

After getting Albar, Aisyah tried to break out of the crowd of orphanage children who enthusiastically welcomed the honored guest. Accidentally, Aisyah was pushed until she almost fell.

Aisyah closed her eyes and hugged Albar tightly frozen her. Aisyah was relieved to realize that there was a pair of hands that managed to welcome her so as not to fall to the ground.

Aisyah slowly opened her eyes and saw who had managed to greet her. How surprised he was to see the face of a handsome man so close to his face, only an inch away from his face.

Time seemed to stop, Aisyah's heart beat fast, the heat spread throughout her body. Quickly Aisyah regained her senses and tried to balance her body, she dodged the man without saying thank you first.

They shook their heads to look at Aisyah who seemed embarrassed after being helped earlier. There were also those who laughed seeing Aisyah misbehaving. The man who helped her just smiled warmly at all of them, not caring about Aisyah's departure.

The entire family members of the orphanage foundation accompanied their guests into a special room to entertain their honored guests. Once inside, they jokingly laugh, sing, poem, tell a fairy tale and even ask brand guests to donate a song.

Aisyah had just eavesdropped behind the door, she was so reluctant to participate in the warm welcome, she seemed inappropriate, but the soul of his kepo thrashed continuously to pay attention to what kind of special figure in the event.

Before going forward following the wishes of all who asked him to contribute a song, the man turned to Aisyah first, looking at her with admiration and a feeling he could not interpret with words.

Aisyah fluttered from being caught watching the handsome man, she dodged and hid behind the wall. He was so embarrassed and his feelings were not out of his mind. He was confused as to why he was with her now.
