Chapter 55

     Aulia blinked her eyes a few times and it looked extremely adorable in Alvan's eyes. Aulia felt that her superior personality had completely changed.

"I don't think it's like that. Honestly speaking, I have absolutely no interest in Mister," Aulia replied honestly because she was unwilling to give false hope.

"Is it because I'm disabled?" alvan asked to test Aulia.

"Astaghfirullahal. Sir, you're wrong if I judge a person by his physique. I see the Master as a person who is trying to improve. While the sense of attraction that you mean was the sense of sek_quality interest between men and women, right? I don't have that kind of feeling to you" replied Aulia.

"Have you not forgotten that man named Ahmad?" alvan asked in an unconscious tone of sarcasm.

     Aulia was speechless, her heart felt slashed when she heard the words of her superior just now. Her eyes began to glaze over and Aulia quickly turned over, then left Alvan.

"Astaghfirullahal. What have I done!" lirih Alvan hit her head quite hard.

      Alvan realized that he had said something that had hurt Aulia's feelings. He followed Aulia to apologize to her.

Brug!

     The Alvan that was about to turn accidentally collided with the Pearl, until the woman fell to the floor. How surprised he was for making others fall.

"Sorry, Ara." Alvan extended his hand intending to help Pearl.

     Aulia who heard the sound of impact, turned her attention to the first floor. How surprised he was to see his best friend fall on the floor. He came down and helped Pearl get up.

      Alvan's shock was increased when he saw the face of the Pearl whose niqob was released. So that he could clearly see the face that was always covered by cloth.

"Aunt Marni?" muttered Alvan.

      Pearl's eyes rounded in shock as Alvan called out a familiar name to him. A woman who left her for her new husband.

      Aulia who just happened to have gotten there could hear what Alvan was saying. He did not know whose name it was, but seeing the different reaction of the Pearl, he believed the name had something to do with the friend's past.

      The pearls immediately reassembled her niqob and went upstairs. Aulia could see that the Pearl's eyes were shedding tears. Aulia also caught up with Pearl going upstairs.

      Still in his attitude, Alvan was silent while staring up at the two women who left in a hurry. This even makes Alvan increasingly curious about Pearls.

'Does Ara have a relative relationship with Aunt Marni? I am not very familiar with his family. All I know is she's got a one-man daughter, ' Inner Alvan.

      The pearl entered her room and Aulia knocked on the door asking for permission to enter. It was seen that Pearl was crying beside the bed. Aulia approached and hugged her body.

"What's wrong?" ask Aulia.

     Not yet Pearl answered the door was knocked from the outside and the sound of Annisa who had just come from the pesantren. Now three women are gathered.

"You, why?" ask Annisa.

"Ara is anyone hurt? Where ... Let me treat,?" aulia asked as she rubbed her back.

"You're hurt, Ara?" Annisa asked in panic.

     The pearls shake their heads. This made Aulia and Annisa feel anxious. Until he fell asleep, the pearls said nothing.

***

     Due to high curiosity, Aulia wanted to ask Alvan what had happened earlier. He also sought out his superior.

      Aulia was reluctant to ask. However, Annisa continued to push her body to approach Alvan.

"What's wrong?" joseph's grandfather asked when he saw two women whispering.

"We're going to ask Mr. Alvan. Why do pearls cry?" answer Aulia.

      Joseph's grandfather and Halima's grandmother looked at Alvan. They also wonder why pearls cry.

"So we accidentally collided and Ara crashed. Then, the veil came off" explained Alvan.

      They think that Pearl is embarrassed because her face is seen by men who are not her muhrim. However, it used to be common for Pearls because she wore niqob after marriage.

"So you said, Aunt Marni. Who's she?" ask Aulia.

"Marni?" ask Joseph's grandfather and Halima's grandmother.

"Yes, Cake .. Grandma. Aulia heard Mr. Alvan mention the name" replied Aulia.

     Everyone looked at Alvan. They asked him for an explanation.

"That aunt Marni was one of the wives of a co-worker with me," replied Alvan paused at having to catch her breath, "she was also my friend's in-law. So, know very well how his face. And when I saw the Pearl I unconsciously said her name."

"Sir, isn't his mother's name Pearl who abandoned Ara's name Marni, too?" ask Grandma Halimah to remember.

"Yes, her name is Marni and she went with her husband with all the Pearl's possessions" replied Joseph's grandfather.

"Who's her husband's name, son?" ask Grandma Halimah to Alvan.

"The name of her husband, Mr. Barata and her daughter is Karmila" replied Alvan.

"What?" Joseph's grandfather and Halima's grandmother were very surprised to hear this.

"Astaghfirullahal. What Ara is feeling now must be very sad," said Halimah's grandmother.

"What is their relationship with Ara?" alvan asked and that was also what Aulia and Annisa had in mind.

"The name of Ara and Barata's biological mother is the name of Ara's stepfather, and the woman named Karmila is Ara's half-brother" replied Joseph's grandfather.

"What's? So, they were the ones who had tortured Ara to such a flaw!" pekik Aulia and Annisa sehati.

"What's? Ara defective?" Alvan doesn't know what Ara's true state is. He rarely spoke to her directly.

"Yes. They were so cruel to torture a weak and helpless little boy. Even they seized the orphan's treasure," Annisa said furiously as she still vividly remembered in her memory how Ara had been.

"A-pa? How did that happen?" alvan asked very surprised because they were well-respected people and his company also advanced.

     Annisa and Aulia were furious and told how the real Pearl was. They also recount the hardships and sufferings experienced by their companions.

"Really heart! They're very cruel. I can't believe that they could do something like that, if it wasn't for you to talk. I don't think anyone who knows the family will believe it either" he sighed in anger.

"They should be taught a lesson, let them know how it hurts to be treated that way. Make others become disabled? I feel like I want to avenge Ara's suffering" Alvan continued.

"Revenge is not good. Let God repay him. We are weak creatures, while He is Strong. Surely the recompense of God was fairer for Ara. We better pray for happiness There so that for the rest of his life he continues to live happily surrounded by people who love and love him" said Joseph's grandfather reminded.
