The New Chapter Of My Life

Episode 3 Return

After a long and tiring day, Dona and Tyo and their youngest daughter return to Jogja on a night flight. At that time Dona's opportunity to invite Tyo to speak four eyes from heart to heart with a calm atmosphere.

"Mas, I'm sorry that I'm not sensitive or do not understand the needs of Mas, but please do not do this."

"Sorry mas also, sorry WA yesterday," said Tyo with a tone of regret.

Tyo took a breath, then clasped Dona's hand and said, "Mas will start again in Jogja, later mas will try to find job vacancies in Jogja. Earlier, I saw a new company in Jogja that was in need of employees. Later mas try to apply there, hopefully soon accepted, so can immediately move."

"Aamiin, hopefully we can get together again, yes Mas," said Dona expectantly.

"In the shayah Allah."

Dona smiles happily, hearing Tyo's plan. The two held hands during the trip.

Moments later, they have arrived at Adisucipto International Airport. Their arrival was greeted with a speck of rain that flushed the student city. They soon return home to Dona's parents and when they get there, Tyo immediately apologizes to Dona's mother.

"Sorry Mom, sorry Tyo, sorry Tyo yes Mom."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Thank God you come home, happy mother you can go home," said Dona's mother full of tears.

The two embrace and cry, making Dona's father who witnessed it also undo his intention to scold his daughter-in-law.

Afterwards, Tyo and Dona head to her room to clean up, and the two talk to Dona's parents.

"Sir, ma'am I'm sorry, I'm so happy" Tyo said, shedding tears.

"Mom and dad forgive you. You want to go back to Jogja, I've calculated your good intentions to return with Dona," said Dona's father.

"What is important is that you have come home, I ask you to move to Jogja immediately. The kids have all been in school here. You have an S2 degree with more than ten years of work experience, it shouldn't be hard to find a job" Dona's father added.

"This is Allah, sir. I will take care of my resignation from office as soon as possible, after returning to Jakarta. In shaaAllah I take two weeks off, until Eid al-Adha," said Tyo full of confidence.

"Alhamdulillah, the children can be satisfied to see his father again. Yes, you guys rest soon, surely you two are quite tired. Don't forget to eat first" said Dona's mother.

"Well, ma'am," replied Dona and Tyo.

That night Tyo and Dona did not say much, after dinner, they chose to rest immediately because of the fatigue they felt both physical and non-physical.

The next day, Dona was again preoccupied with her daily routine, namely by waking her three children to pray shabuhan and then preparing the three to go to school.

Amidst the preparations, Dona's children begin to inquire about their father.

"Mom, are you home?" ask Ara, Dona's second child.

"Yes," replied Dona briefly.

"Until when?" ask again.

"God up to Eid al-Adha."

"Ashiik, until Eid al-Adha, ma'am ? Really ?"

"God, said the father. Come on, breakfast let's not be late" said Dona.

Meanwhile, Aisha, Dona's first child, is silent. Aisha is more quiet than her two sisters. But Aisha's silence this time was a little different and Dona felt the difference.

"Cha, let's have breakfast quickly," Dona reminded gently.

"Yes, Mom. Ma'am, who goes between schools, mom or dad ?" ask Aisha

"Last night I told you to pick you up while you were here" replied Dona.

"Mom call me first, you guys finish your breakfast quickly" said Dona as she headed to her room upstairs. Seen Tyo was sleeping while on the move with his salary.

"Mas, it's been waiting for the children, he said want to nganter to school ?"

"Oiya, just a moment," Tyo replied and prepared to take her daughter to school.

Moments later, there were cries of her two daughters from downstairs, while Dona was waking up Zalfa who was still soundly asleep.

"Mom, I'm leaving !"

Dona immediately went down, his two daughters came to say goodbye.

"The pinter yaa, Shalihah," said Dona to the two, shaking hands and not forgetting that she kissed Aisha and Ara on both cheeks.

"Yes ma'am, assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

"Yes, I went to school first, yeah. Assalamu'alaikum," said Tyo from inside the car.

"Yes, wa'alaikumsalam."

Dona smiled happily because of this scene, she met a few months ago, before they moved to Jogja. But he hopes that, shortly after Tyo resigns from his job, his family will become a whole and normal family as in general.

A week passed, in the middle of the night Dona woke up and did not find Tyo beside her. Dona felt strange. Then he started to open the doors of the empty rooms, but Tyo was not there, until there was one room locked from the inside.

"Mas, Mas's inside ?" dona asked while knocking on the door.

But there is no answer at all. Dona tried again and this time, with a panicked face, Tyo opened the door.

"Great, terrible ! I have to get back to Jakarta !"

"What's up, Mom ? What's so bad ?"

"Just like, I have to go back to Jakarta, Ratna called, just now" Tyo said without further explanation.

Dona senses that there is something Tyo is hiding, but Dona chooses not to ask. In the morning, Tyo was preparing to return to Jakarta to take care of the emergency that occurred at his workplace, as well as to take care of his resignation letter.

"Mas to Jakarta first yes, all to take care of the process of resign, in shaa Allah not long, after that straight back here again."

"You guys bring the stuff that was in the rented, yesterday I forgot, there are books the same children's toys," Dona reminded.

"Yes, in shaa Allah will be brought," said Tyo full of smiles.

"I'm anther to the airport, you pick up Zalfa, yes" said Dona.

"Yes, thank you, darling."

After saying goodbye to both of Dona's parents, they immediately picked up Zalfa at the Kindergarten not far from where they lived before heading to Adisutjipto Airport.

Arriving at the airport, it was time to separate again. Tyo hugged Zalfa and kissed her cheeks.

"Father to Jakarta first yes, Zalfa is good at home with mom and mom, yes" said Tyo.

"When's dad coming home?" ask Zalfa expectantly.

"God as soon as possible, I do not know when I can go home, depending on my father's work in Jakarta. Zalfa do'ain father yes, so that the affairs of the father in Jakarta can be finished quickly."

"Yes, Dad. I'll do'ain let you come back here again soon."

"Thank you, baby."

After finishing his farewell with his daughter, Tyo turns to Dona. She clasped both hands tightly with a face that showed her reluctance to part.

"I'm sorry, Mas has to go back to Jakarta. Do'ain Mas ya. Thanks for waiting, Mas," said Tyo, hugging tightly and kissing Dona's cheek.

"Yes Mas, fii amanillah," said Dona who also felt heavy to let go of Tyo.

After a while of hugging, Tyo and Dona both let go of his embrace.

Dona then kissed Tyo's hand, then the two separated.Dona also returned to drive the vehicle owned by his father to return home.

"Mom, when are you going home again ?" ask Zalfa who still hopes to be together with Tyo longer.

"Hmm just left already asked when to go home. I don't know either, but I said not long ago. Do'ain aja paternity business in Jakarta quickly finished, so can soon go home to Jogja, trus get together with us again," replied Dona.

Without feeling, two weeks passed, but Tyo has not returned to Jogja due to the process of resigning which takes a long time.

"Sorry Yang, the business of resign took about three months, because Mas had to find a replacement for the Mas project," that's the reason expressed by Tyo, even though Dona doubted his words.

Until Dona got a call from Ita, wife of Farhan, Tyo's boss in the office and also a senior while in college first.

They were both neighbors for five years in Jakarta, until Farhan, finally, was transferred to the Surabaya branch, a year before Dona moved to Jogja.

"Don, Tyo hasn't returned from Jakarta?" ask Ita.

"Not yet, he said he was still looking for a replacement."

"Hoo so, hmm about when's the reverse?" ask Ita again.

"Not yet, he didn't say. Lastly, he said about three months," replied Dona.

"Hmmm that's it, uh I'll call you back!" Ita also closed her connection with Dona.

But about half an hour later, Ita again contacted Dona.

"Don, honestly, I want it to be serious."

"What's up, Ma'am?" ask Dona.

"Yesterday when Tyo went to Jogja, he said how long leave?"

"Say it's two weeks, Ma'am, but now it's back to Jakarta again, he said there are people in the office all to take care of the same resign some rented," replied Dona.

"Well, how long did he say no?" ask Ita again.

"Hmmm he said about three months to deal with the same letters of project devolution," replied Dona.

"Oh so, uh Don, anyone want to tell me about Tyo, right ? why did you suddenly come home, then why did you suddenly go to Jakarta?" search Ita.

Dona freezes, and is not ready to discuss the matter with anyone other than her family.

"Don ! Dona, are you still awake or asleep?" ita canda.

"Gluck, Ma'am !"

"Yes, back to discussion yes, please be honest, why yesterday you went to Jakarta ?" ask Ita again.

This time Dona answered him flatly, "Tyo cheated."

Ita had guessed the answer and without further ado invited Dona to go to Jakarta.

"Don, I just had a chat with Ratna, she asked you to come to Jakarta, Mr. Reynold also wanted to see you."

Ratna is the manager and Mr. Reynold is the chief director at the office where Tyo works. Hearing the two important names, Dona asked what made her called to meet the two of them.

"What's up, Ma'am? How does Ratna want to see Mr Reynolds ?"

Ita took a breath, then threw it away violently, "Tyo's cheating problem is a public secret, everything already knows."

Dona was surprised by Ita's answer which he did not expect. "Can you, Ma'am ? How can everyone know ?" dona asked, not understanding.

"What I heard from Ratna, Tyo likes to take her affair to the office, which is why I called you."

"Astaghfirullah, so I'm the last to know ?!"

"Well, if it's not wrong now he has moved on, right he contracted his old house Ratna, last week he has given the key. Well, the things you asked for were still in the house, because Ratna said there were boxes written in books and stationery," replied Ita.

"Astaghfirullah, it's a need for children to make school, they wait when sent, until finally I buy it again here, it was still not sent until now ! Though his promise to send after arriving in Jakarta," upset Dona.

"Eat him Don, I want to take you to Jakarta again. We both go to Jakarta, how ?"

"We ?" ask Dona.

"Yes, I'm also going to Jakarta, I'm happy !" obviously Ita.

"Hmmm looks like the detective's soul is turbulent asking out !" dona Canda.

"Alhamdulillah, you can still joke," said Ita relieved.

"Let's not stress, Ma'am," replied Dona while chuckling.

"Yes, when can I go to Jakarta? I'm next week the 18-20th is empty, the children are the same as his father, Bang Farhan also ngizinin kok," said Ita.

Dona was silent for a while, before giving her answer.
