The Tarnished Honor

Chapter.51

"It's a drink,"

Aulia re-bought her by the sound of baritones greeting her, presenting a young coconut ready to drink her water.

The day is getting hotter, but in small Aliya is still excited to spend time on the beach by playing sand and sea water that this afternoon is so calm that it makes beach visitors feel at home for a long time there.

Like little Aliya, who is still fun playing sand with a new friend she met on the beach. While Aulia and Fatih choose to wait on the beach, shelter with a beach umbrella that is already available there.

"Thank you" Aulia replied as she took the head from Fatih's hand.

"He looks so happy, doesn't he? It's the first time I've seen our daughter's smile that wide, it's also the first time I've seen her face that bright" Fatih said after dropping her butt right next to Aulia at a safe distance.

"Did Aliya along with Mas tell him something strange?" aulia asked doubtfully.

This is the first time they have interacted for such a long time. Even their chatter had begun to be long, no longer as short as it used to be.

"What a strange story? For example?" ask Fatih with a frown on her forehead.

"Eemm, how are you? Curiously, yes confide. During her time with Mas Fatih, Aliya often confided in her feelings and desires?"

Deg

Instantly, Fatih was made to lose his focus when he heard Aulia calling him 'Mas Fatih' . O Allah, if that call could be heard by Fatih at any time.

Maybe Fatih will be the happiest man on earth. But alas, all just wishful thinking that will either be realized or forever just wishful thinking.

"Of course, he wants to go to school in Cairo. But she said, before she left she wanted to have a sister first. Let's just when she's gone, Mother won't feel lonely,"

"Cairo? Why so far away? There are also many good religious schools. Why go to Cairo?" cecar Aulia with a panicked face when Fatih said that Aliya asked her to send Aliya to Cairo after graduating from Madrasah ibtidaiyah.

"He had a dream, he had a wish and that was his dream and desire. Support and pray, that our child is always in his protection even though he is far from us,"

"But why go to Cairo? If he goes there, then what about me? I don't want to stay alone" said Aulia as she recalled the story of her marriage at the end of the breakup.

Although there was no word of talaq said by Hanan to him. But Aulia has decided to file a divorce lawsuit against the man who married her two months ago.

"That's why Aliya wanted to have a sister before she left. That's so you're not alone" Fatih explained which left Aulia stunned.

"But___,"

"Solve your business with Hanan first, after that we continue to discuss this again. Focus first on one problem so that everything is done well. After all, this is still a discourse that has not been fully realized by our daughter." cut Fatih when Aulia will answer her speech.

"All right, and thank you."

"Always there for Aliya,"

"She's a princess, of course I have to be there for her. I will never repeat my mistakes because of the stupidity I did 10 years ago. Who so cowardly denies the depraved act and accuses you of not doing so. Though, I know for myself who the father of the fetus that grew in your womb used to be. I'm sorry Aulia, I'm really really sorry. Even if necessary, I will sacrifice my entire body to make amends for all the wrongs I've done to you as well as to our daughter," fatih replied with glassy eyes as she recalled the mistake she made on Aulia 10 years ago.

"That's it, it's all over. I have forgiven and forgotten all. Mas has also proven that Mas has changed much better," said Aulia who did not want to bring up the dark past again.

"Dad, Mother, here. We play on the beach" Aliya exclaimed, distracting Aulia and Fatih.

"Come, now we better forget all the burdens. Right now, let's have a good time with our daughter, "take Fatih up from her seat and roll her trousers up to the calf limit.

After that, Fatih also stepped first to approach Aliya who had run to and fro with the sea water that came and then returned to the sea.

Seeing Aliya's happy laughter with her father, made Aulia's heart moved to join the fun with the two people.

"Let's attack Mother dear, do not let Mother's clothes dry alone," phati exclaimed intrusion on his daughter and of course it was welcomed by Aliya who just sprayed the sea water into Aulia's body.

Not accepting what Fatih and Aliya did, Aulia replied to both of them. Until finally the excitement occurred because reciprocally spitting back sea water into each other's bodies.

Until finally, laughter was now accompanying the togetherness of the three of them and for the first time too, Aulia could laugh freely even though there was Fatih. The man who had made Aulia lose her happiness as well as her cheerfulness.

Sometimes, the cure for a wound is not coming from a new person. But it can also be, the person who incised the wound itself is the medicine for the wound.

Like Fatih who finally can make Aulia laugh despite being hit by injuries and deep disappointment in the fate of her marriage which is on the verge of destruction.

While elsewhere.

Hanan was still sitting on his alphabet. His two hands, covering his entire face were soaked by tears that since an hour ago could not stop coming out.

"Patience and sincerity, all have been your destiny like this," said Umi Fatimah stroked the soft black mane jet belonging to her son.

"But why Umi? Why is all this happening to me? Why would I lose the person I've been fighting for all this time?" lirih Hanan was at the limit of her despair when she was about to lose Aulia.

The woman he's loved for five years with all her soul and body. Even Hanan did not care about the status of Aulia who was a single parent and had a fairly dark past.

"Remember Son, everything in the world and what we have are all entrances from the creator. No one can prevent when he's gonna take back what's not for us."
