Chapter 75

     Aulia hugged Halimah's grandmother, she spilled her sorrow on the old woman. Seeing Aulia crying like this made Halima's grandmother and Joseph's grandfather feel sorry for her.

"This must be the last tears of sorrow for your baby, Aulia," said Joseph's grandfather.

"Yes, Cake. Aulia has been sincere from a long time ago, only now my heart is hurting the wound is open again" said Aulia.

"This is the instinct of a mother who recalls a child once conceived. There must be a longing for his presence with us. Grandma knows what it's like for a mother to lose her baby. Grandmas also sometimes cry when they miss their presence," said Halimah's grandmother.

     On that day Halimah's grandmother and Joseph's grandfather comforted Aulia with funny stories they had experienced when they were young. Aulia was very happy to hear the story of a young married couple because they were betrothed by their teacher. Both were timid but willing.

"It turns out Grandpa Yusuf is romantic, yes! Aulia did not expect, loh. I would love Grandpa Yusuf too, if I lived in the days when Grandpa Yusuf was young" Aulia said.

"Alright, thankfully it's not as contemporary as you. Granny could lose to your rival, Aulia," said Halimah's grandmother laughing.

"It is precisely grandfather who should be grateful to get a grandmother. He used to be a village flower" said Joseph's grandfather.

     The sadness in Aulia's heart was gone. The wound that had been opened earlier, was now closed tightly by the love story of Halimah's grandmother and Joseph's grandfather.

     The next day Aulia went to work as usual. He does everything that is used to his daily duties.

     Alvan became more reserved and could only stare silently at Aulia. He was confused about what to start talking about. He had told his master's people that the person he had been hit by was Aulia. They told Alvan to grant Aulia a wish. Whatever it is, he has to grant it.

"Aulia," call Alvan.

"Yes, sir," Aulia replied as she raised her head which had been lowered since then.

     Not yet Alvan spoke his office door was knocked by someone. Yukari enters after being told by Alvan.

"What's wrong?" ask Alvan.

"There's Rangga, sir" replied Yukari.

"Send him in" Alvan replied.

     Rangga so entered directly approached Aulia and held her hand. However, immediately release it once remember that it should not be done by him. Moreover, Alvan also directly approached him and pushed Rangga's body.

"What the hell, you!" snapped Alvan.

"I'm sorry, Aulia" said Rangga.

     Aulia who was surprised by Rangga's actions just made him speechless pecking. He did not expect that the man would hold his hand.

"Would you like to come here?" ask Alvan.

"You're meeting my girlfriend!" answer Rangga firmly.

"What?" alvan shouted with wide eyes.

"Yes, I know that you are Aulia, my lover. Aulia Nur Assyifa is her full name," replied Rangga.

"A-pa?" Alvan stuttered.

    Again Alvan got a shocking news from Aulia. He looked towards Aulia asking for an explanation.

    Aulia's eyeballs were rounded because she did not expect that Rangga would recognize her at this moment. He couldn't swallow her. Moreover, talking to men who stare with a gaze will be full of longing.

"Aulia .. I've been looking for you all along. But, why do you hide your identity, even change your style of speech," said Rangga still pay attention to everything Aulia does even if it's just blinking.

     Although Alvan is good friends with Rangga and knows who his lover is, but he has never met Aulia before. He only knew Aulia through the photo shown by Rangga. Meanwhile, Aulia's assistant's face was never shown to her.

"Yes. I am Aulia Nur Assyifa. The woman who had been romantically involved with Rangga Abimana," Aulia replied softly and she continued saying, "that was the old me. Now I am Aulia Nur Assyifa, the woman who continues to strive for the pleasure of Allah for the rest of my life."

    Both Rangga and Alvan are determined that the woman who is sitting at the desk must be a companion for life. They want to be happy for the rest of their lives with a sea of love and compassion.

     The bright night sky with stars scattered makes everyone happy when they see it. Aulia stood in her yard enjoying this beautiful sight to calm her heart. 

     At lunch he met with Shinta's mistress. The middle-aged woman came to him and apologized while pleading and kneeling before him. He cried bitterly while regretting his previous actions to his family. Especially to ask to abort the baby who is still in the womb. Also, because of his words father Aulia to death.

     Although it was hard to talk to Shinta at first, Aulia decided to end the conflict between the two of them. Aulia had promised not to see the faults of others in her. Instead, he will try to establish a good relationship with everyone. Forgiving the mistakes of those who have made our lives suffer is very difficult for most people. However, if we are sincere because of Allah, God willing, everything is facilitated. Although there will be many people who sneer with the term stupid for not avenging his crimes. For Aulia the peace of heart she sought.

"Assalamu'alaikum," greeted someone and made Aulia surprised.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Aulia. 

     A shady-looking man smiled at him. Seen in his hand carried a bag of scented crackles.

"Grandfather Joseph and grandmother Halima, are you still awake?" ask Fathir.

"There, just now, was sitting in the front room," replied Aulia.

    The sound of a car horn, Aulia saw who was coming. An oriental-faced man got out of the car carrying a bag of crackles filled with food.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Aulia." A handsome smile was immediately emitted by Alvan.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mr. Alvan." 

"Have I interrupted your show?" alvan asked as he stared intently at Fathir.

"No. I don't have any events tonight" Aulia replied.

'Yes. It means that Fathir did not make a pact with Aulia, Alvan's inner being.

"Assalamu'alaikum, dear. Uh, Aulia." Rangga who appeared suddenly there surprised everyone who was there.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," replied Aulia who was very surprised by the arrival of her former lover.

"Would you like to come here?" alvan asked Rangga.

"Of course to meet with Aulia," replied Rangga.

    Now Aulia's head suddenly hurt. There were three men who stared at each other fiercely.

"Oh, there's a guest. Why don't you go inside?" Grandpa Yusuf was standing by the door.

"Well, why are so many people visiting tonight. What's up, tumben?" ask grandma Halimah.

"You proposed to Aulia!" the third word man was compact.

"What?" aulia's cry widened her eyes.
