**still in memory of Ayesha's past**

Aisyah entered the door of the inn room . He then laid his body on the bed . It had been night as he returned to the inn after being content to turn around in the city of bogor while crying all afternoon . In the end his clear mind told him to return to the inn .

He felt very tired, his head also hurt . In a doldrums he opened the suitcase looking for a small bag containing his medicines . After taking the headache reliever he lay on the bed . Either due to fatigue or the influence of drugs, he then fell asleep .

The alarm from the phone made Aisyah open her eyes slowly . He immediately grabbed his phone that was lying just like that .

After turning off the alarm on her phone, Aisyah checked several phone calls she missed . Dozens of calls from Prasetyo, some calls from his mother-in-law and father , then there was a call from Ayu .

Slowly Aisha got out of bed . He immediately took a shower because the dawn was almost here . After finishing the bath he put on a nightgown and took water, then began to use the face and sit down on the prayer mat . While listening to the sound of the adhan from the nearest mosque .

Aisyah's tears flowed unbearably while being privileged in the heart . He then began to perform the dawn prayer as soon as the sound of the iqomah was heard . Fervently' he performed the dawn prayer, trying to communicate with Allah SWT through his prayer . Finished the prayer he offered a do'a while shedding tears .

In the presence of the Catholic, she spills the pain and disappointment she feels towards her husband . Then start asking yourself where the fault lies to accept the exam that he feels is so heavy . Why would a husband he trusted destroy the trust he gave . Once satisfied he ended the do'a by pleading for good to himself and his parents .

Aisyah folded her face and her alphabet, then placed it neatly in the wardrobe of the inn . His heart felt lighter after the prayer . I am getting ready to join the seminar schedule today . After being neat with simple clothes and make-up, Aisyah sat on the chair of the room . Actually one room was filled by two regional representative doctors, but his roommates chose to stay at the house of his parents who live in the city of Bogor .

He and his roommate Anita are the same young doctor who was assigned to the city of Lampung . Although they graduated from different universities . The sound of a mobile phone made Aisyah who was completing some documents to be brought to the seminar room stop her activities . He stared at his phone screen for a moment and then picked up a phone call from his father .

' assalamualaikum sir .." said Aisyah politely and gently .

" Walaikumsalam..., are you okay ndok...? " The father's question made Aisyah hold her breath .

" Njeh sir.., sorry last night I did not hear a call from Mr. "Aisyah trying to speak as calmly as possible .

" Oh.. thank goodness.that's why you feel bad . We told Pras that you were in Bogor . Let him meet you ndok.., if you are allowed to stay a few days at your husband's place before returning to your city of service "the father's advice as usual .

Aisyah simply fell silent to the words of her father .

" Have you told him ? " Task the father because Aisyah just fell silent .

" I am busy with the work of Pak , So have not had time to tell mas Pras "answer Aisyah while holding back the pain of her heart .

I don't know what will happen if the father finds out that his chosen daughter-in-law has married again, or don't be the second wife Prasetyo .

" you should have told her she dok..., as busy as you try to communicate every night with your husband . The most important thing in a household is communication and mutual trust between the two . You are already far apart once married , of course it will be difficult to live such a household . but if you and your husband trust each other and keep each other's trust , everything will be fine . and most importantly, give as much love to your husband, then he will love you as much as you love him " advice the father with a soft voice that has become his trademark .

Aisyah was unable to stem her tears . The clear crystal just flowed from both of his eyelids .

Fortunately the phone was just a voice call, if the video call of course the father could see how much he had tried not to cry and let out his crying voice .

" Ndock...." Call the father after a long silence from him .

" I'm sorry sir, I'm preparing to be ready sir " said Aisyah gave an excuse .

" Oh.ya already then , later do not forget Tel Prasetyo . Be careful there ndok.remember you have become a wife people must be good at maintaining the honor of your husband wherever you are "

" Njeh.pak" replied Ayesha quickly .

" Assalamu'alaikum..." Said the father hanging up his phone call .

" Walaikum..." Aisyah covered the call with her voice holding back tears .

The day was bright , Aisyah immediately reflected , tidying her dull face for crying again . Then quickly left the inn room . He did not want Pras to find himself there, he quickly headed to the seminar room which would start in two hours .

" Aisha..." A voice stopped his steps that were in the lobby .

A man in neat clothes and a black suit approached Aisyah . Long Aisyah looked at the Man while frowning her forehead, she seemed to have seen the man, but forgot where .

" Ayesha, remember me ? " The man approached himself .

Aisyah smiled as she shook her head slowly .

" Doctor Andriyan" said the man mentioning his name with a fluffy smile .

Aisyah tried to remember the face and name in front of her .

" How are you doing, Doc ? " Aisyah finally managed to remember the figure before her .

The man was Andriyan Nugraha, a neurologist he used to know while undergoing koas in a hospital while in college . Young doctors of highly talented neurologists .

" You are more beautiful Aja Ais .." said the doctor only in a smile reply by Aisyah .

" You're at the seminar too ? " Ask the doctor after a while .

" Yes, the doctor himself ? " Aisyah asked as she looked at the charismatic handsome face before her .

" No. it just so happened that there were brothers filling out the event so we had breakfast together here . Are you a doctor now ? " Ask the doctor while looking closely at Aisyah's face .

" It is still in the intership period "Aisyah replied humbly .

" Oh yes the show is still two hours away, let's have breakfast together " said Dr. Andriyan .

" Aisha...." The call of a beautiful woman from the entrance of the lobby made the two turn their faces towards the sound .

" you're on the phone not in the lift, there's a person waiting for you at the gate "the woman who is none other than Anita immediately spoke at length to Aisyah .

" Aisyah who can already guess who is looking for her immediately pulled Anita's hand and away from the doctor Andriyan .

" Ih..What's up ? " Tanya Anita wonder .

" Can you help me " said Aisyah half-whispering after the two of them were a few

Meters from Dr. Andriyan .

" Please tell the person who is waiting for me outside, I don't want to see him right now" Aisyah said with a sad face .

" You know who's waiting for you ? " Tanya Anita reassured .

" My husband isn't it ? " Aisyah looked at Anita with teary eyes .

" I..iya? ? , What was the matter yesterday that you were so excited to stop by Jakarta and give a surprise to him after the end of the event ? " Task Anita who is more astonished .

" Please Nit, just this once help me "persuade Aisyah .

" You guys got into a fight ? " Anita is curious .

" I'll tell you later . Yes please..." Aisha clasped Anita's hand tightly .

"Well, but it's better to speak well than to avoid it "Anita replied with a smile .

" Thank you ..you're the best "Aisyah said with relief .

Anita immediately returned to the gate to deliver Aisha's message, while Aisyah simply swallowed her saliva while staring at Anita's departure .

After a while , Anita comes back to her again . While Doctor Andriyan was seen chatting with someone while looking at Aisyah who was sitting in a chair far from her place .

Anita invites Aisyah to go to breakfast first at the restaurant in the inn before attending the seminar . The two walked over while talking . Anita tries to figure out what happened , but Aisyah chooses to keep her own household problems .

*****

At three o'clock in the afternoon the seminar was finished ', the seminar participants came out of the meeting room . It was then that Aisyah realized that outside in the midst of heavy rain . Aisyah silently looked at the phone screen, she opened a chat from Prasetyo which she had ignored .

" Aisyah... Where are you ? " chat from Prasetyo yesterday afternoon .

" Ais.. Please pick up the phone "

" By Allah Ais, please forgive us . At least let me talk . Let's meet "

" Ais..at least say that you're okay "

" I know I was wrong . But at least let me know how you are "

" It's okay you don't want to see me . At least I'm relieved to hear you're okay from Anita . Please meet me in front, I will wait until you want to meet me "the last chat Pras .

Aisyah was silent for a moment, she stared out the building through the window , heavy rain outside made her feel worried about her husband .

Eight months is indeed a short time for him to recognize the husband, let alone they are separated and live apart since marriage . But they grew up together, he knew the husband often catch a cold if exposed to rain .

" Eh .you are here I'm looking where "anita's cry breaks the daydream .

" You still want to stay at your parents' house ? " Tanya Aisyah while looking at the sweet face of Anita .

" Yes dong, Later tonight we want family dinner . Tomorrow is the last day of the night we go on the road huh? , All the same some doctors from Lampung and Palembang "take Anita excitedly .

" Let's see then "Aisyah replied while occasionally staring out of the building .

" I went home first . You should date your husband , nginep aja in the room right I do not have " whispered Anita with a seductive tone .

Aisyah simply fell silent while holding tightness . If only yesterday afternoon had never happened, he would have done what Anita said . But now let alone to think about it , to meet Prasetyo only his heart really felt pain .

" I'm first yeah.., the online taxi I ordered is waiting outside . Drug Ayesha..." Anita said as she walked away leaving her .

Aisyah journey to the room with a dreamy mind . His conscience is still thinking about and worrying about Prasetyo, he is afraid that the man is still waiting for him in front of the building . But anger and heartache dominated more, so He decided to rest in the room .

Just as Aisyah was about to open the room door, but her phone suddenly rang .

" Ais .. You should meet your husband . Poor it turns out he's still waiting in front . Where is the heavy rain again you have a lot of heart anyway? , What is the mistake ? " Anita's voice was already heard before she said a word .

" He's still outside ? " Task Aisyah with a worried tone .

" Yes..., you meet her first yes" said Anita Saya hung up her phone .

Aisyah stood with hesitation, but her affection towards her husband was able to defeat her pain and anger towards Prasetyo . The woman rushed to the lobby and borrowed an umbrella from the receptionist . Without hesitation Aisyah walked among the torrent of rain towards the gate of the government-owned inn . Outside the building he saw Prasetya standing on the porch of the security post . But the rush of rain still makes the clothes he wears wet .

Aisyah walked slowly over to the husband while paddling him . Prasetya looked surprised at the presence of Aisyah, the man was just fixated on staring at the figure before him, his eyes pushy filled with novelty .

" A...Ais .." murmured Prasetyo with bluish lips due to the cold air and rain

Aisyah simply fell silent while looking at the pale-looking face before her . Both of them were silent for a moment .

" O masnya again waiting for his girlfriend to.., Can by phone do not need to bother to be rained like this "said security who was in the post broke their silence .

" Em.I am her husband sir . I really want to give a surprise to my wife ", Prasetyo said with a smile on the security .

" Oh, I'm sorry sir, I should have just said no room , so I could go straight into room , no need to wait outside while raining rain " said the security with a sorry face .

" It's okay sir "jawan Prasetyo while grabbing Aisyah's hand . Aisyah slowly retreated from before Prasetyo .

" Kasian Mr. Bu.ajak first into "the word of the security gives a fresh breeze on Prasetyo .

" I'm sorry sir, troublesome " said Aisyah as she walked away , hesitantly Prasetyo followed Aisyah's light steps, both walking while rowing towards the inn . Aisyah ignored the receptionist's greeting in lobby , after returning the umbrella she immediately headed to the second floor where her room was located .

Prasetyo just stood in front of the door of room ', after the two arrived . Aisyah did not say a word, she walked towards the bathroom and handed the towel to Prasetyo .

" Thank you " said Pras with haru , he stared fixed face as white as milk belongs to Aisyah .

Without a sound Aisyah opened the hotel closet & then gave a large white T-shirt hers on Prasetyo . Pras received the shirt and without hesitation opened his shirt in front of Aisyah, and wore the shirt . Of course the shirt became tight in wear by Pras .

Aisyah stood by the window of the room she was just silent, not wanting to say anything in her present state of heart, she also chose to stare out , enjoy the view of rainwater falling from the sky rather than looking at the face of the man who is now in his room .

Prasetyo approached her , he tried to hug Aisyah , But Aisyah quickly avoided his embrace .

" Don't touch me mas" said Aisyah with a quivering voice .

" Ais.. I can explain everything " Prasetyo said in a soft voice .

" Explain what ? . Explain that you are married again here . Or am I the second wife ? " Aisyah looked at Prasetya's face sharply .

" I didn't mean to hide it from you . I was just looking for the right time to say it "prasetyo replied gently .

" You have the heart.., you hurt me..." Aisyah started sobbing .

" Who is he ? . He or I whom you married first ? " Aisha's voice began to rise .

Prasetyo was silent, he tried to calm his wife by holding Aisyah's shoulder .

" Don't touch me" said Aisyah Sharply .

" I'm sorry " Prasetyo said while kneeling before Aisyah .

" Who came first ? " Task Aisyah while crying .

" You are the first Ais and I never intended to do this" Prasetyo said in a soft voice .

" but mas did it "sahut Aisyah quickly .

" I. I made a mistake . I swear it happened out of consciousness . I don't know how that happened . When I woke up we did it . She's pregnant with my son . I married her because she was pregnant with my son "prasetyo's slow speech was like a thunderclap in Aisyah's ear .

" You are fornicating ? " Aisyah asked in a trembling voice .

" that's because I was drunk . I know I can't deny it, yes.I fornicate " replied Pras With resignation .

Aisyah was speechless as she looked at Prasetya's bowed face . Tears endlessly flowed from both of her eyelids . Prasetyo raised his face his hands raised to the front he wanted to wipe Aisyah's tears but Aisyah immediately brushed it off .

" ice... I know it is wrong . But sorry can't turn back time, and take away the sins you've committed . I know you have hurt your heart deeply with this incident . I don't even deserve to get an apology from you . But you should know.you're the only one I choose to build a sakinah family . The only one I want to be my wife . I married her out of a sense of responsibility . I didn't tell you this because I didn't want to lose you . My biggest dream when asking for your hand is to build a sakinah family until we are just as old as "Pasetyo takes a deep breath .

" I ... committed a sin, and do not want to add to another sin . I will accept any punishment from you, 'cause I deserve it . " Prasetyo. He looked at the wife who was still silent . He knew it was Ayesha's habit of being angry, silent a thousand languages .

" Aisyah..I love you "the words of Prasetyo like a heart-wrenching sembilu Aisyah . Why is that saying only now, after 8 months of marriage, after he had impregnated and married another woman . While all this time Aisyah often whines because Prasetyo never said the sentence to her, even when he asked .

" I go first, let's talk after you feel calmer" Prasetyo said as he stepped out of the room .

Aisyah cried as soon as Prasetyo came out of the room . Pras' only fleeting explanation had shattered all the beautiful dreams he had assembled when they decided to get married . I did not expect the man he loved and he admired as a responsible figure, shaleh , and virtuous since adolescence can make mistakes that make her now a woman who must share a husband . How could Prasetyo have the heart to sleep with another woman, even pregnant her while those themselves who have been legally married have never had time to have a husband and wife relationship .

What kind of life story has Allah SWT determined for him, so that he must undergo such a severe test . Aisyah felt even more devastated and sad when she remembered how her parents felt and the feelings of Prasetyo's mother whom she had considered her real mother when she learned of this incident .

they were married because of the matchmaking of both families . This news would naturally shock both of them . How he could explain and tell this incident . his heart was more and more devastated thinking about it .
