Vanilla

Go away

After one week of her father's departure, Liliana and Dahlia and their family returned to the country of M. Vanila takes them to the airport with Aldrin.

All the way home, Vanila just kept quiet, looking at what she could see on the road.

"You'll have lunch first La. I know a good restaurant dimsum." Aldrin said because he knew that Vanilla really likes to eat dimsum.

"Go home." Vanila said without looking at Aldrin.

"La. Don't be like this same. Sorry for this." Aldrin said again. But Vanila was silent, which made Aldrin only able to sigh.

"La.."

"Already brother. We've talked about everything. There's nothing more to talk about." Said Vanilla again.

Arriving at home, Vanila immediately entered and locked her room. Leaving Aldrin who was parking the car to the carport next to Vanila's house.

"Tok.butt.."

"La, I want to talk La. Lala Mas has apologized. L. l.." Aldrin said as he continued to knock on Vanila's door, which caused quite a stir at home.

"Don't be forced so non Lala den. Den Al has to be patient with non Lala. Non Lala was still a little surprised by everything that happened. Tuan died, and at a very young age, had to marry den Al. Cassi non Lala time." Mbok Sa.

"But mbok, Lala can not be allowed to continue like this. I am now her husband. I have to take responsibility for Lala. So Lala has to listen to my words." The word Aldrin is somewhat emotional, because Aldrin does have a dominant nature.

"Non Lala can't be beaten. Den Al has to slow down and patiently deal with it." Said mbok Sa again.

"I'm impatient what am I mbok? From getting married, until now, Lala thought I didn't exist. Always cuekin me, avoid me. What is the attitude of a wife?" Aldrin said he was angry and was still knocking on the door of Vanilla's room. While Vanila in the room who heard the talk of Aldrin and mbok Sa, could only cry.

"Aden should remember. Non Lala is still a child. Aden is also a week married. Don't sue non Lala a lot about marriage." Said mbok Sa again.

"Lala wants 15 years. And it's not small anymore. I love Lala, I want to protect Lala. But how would I protect Lala, if Lala was like that." Aldrin said, beginning to despair.

"Den Al rest first. Many istigfar, but not the same guidance of God." Advice mbok Sa.

"Astagfirullahaladzim." Said Aldrin who was aware of his mistake that he was overcome by anger.

"Yes, non Lala let alone first den." Said mbok Sa again. Aldrin just nodded, then went to the guest room where he stayed during his stay at Vanilla's house.

As usual, when she finished praying, Vanila always looked for Aldrin and kissed the back of his hand. After that, he will return to his room.

At lunch time, and dinner Vanila was also just silent, chewing her food slowly.

"Eat a lot of La. You don't want to be sick. From kamren mas look at you eat it a little. Want to buy your favorite dimsum?" Ask Aldrin.

"No need to brother. I'm already full. I'll go back to the room first." Vanilla said, leaving the dining table. Aldrin who was somewhat annoyed with Lala's attitude also left the dining table and returned to his room.

The next morning, Ma knocked on Vanila's door, because until 7 am, Vanila had not yet come out of her room. Usually at 6 am Vanilla is up and sitting in the side yard.

"Why mbok?" Tanya Aldrin who just returned to morning prayers, then ran in a residential neighborhood.

"Tock.tock..."

"La.."

"Cklek" The sound of Aldrin's door opening. Aldrin and Mbok Sa immediately entered Lala's room. The two of them searched Vanila in every corner and room in Vanila's room, but they didn't find Vanila.

Aldrin looked at the folded white paper on the Vanilla study table. Aldrin immediately took the paper and opened it. Then start reading the writing written on the white paper.

"Assynolajet. Wr. Wb. When you read this letter, I left town. I'm sorry I can't be a dutiful wife. Please allow me to go, let Allah be pleased with me, because of my husband's permission. Like you said before we got married, I'm gonna file our divorce papers when you're gonna marry the woman you wanted to preach to. Thank you for making papa's last wish come true. Don't look for me. May my brother, umi and abah always be healthy and in the protection of Allah. Again sorry. Ttd Vanillaarea" wrote Vanila on the white sheet of paper, which left Aldein sitting on the edge of Vanilla's bed.

Mbok Sa can only cry sadly, considering his beloved miss. Although Mbok Sa did not read the contents of the letter held by Aldrin, but mbok Sa knew exactly, that Vanila had left the house.

"Assynolajet. Mas, here I bring breakfast from umi." Vano said that entered the house, because the front door was open.

Because there was no confirmation, Vano went inside and saw the door of Vanilla's room open. Vano stood in the doorway and looked at the crying mbok Sa and Aldrin with his hopeless face.

"What's up? Why is Mbok Sa crying?" Vano asked, but no one spoke. Vano looked at the paper Aldrin was holding, then read the contents of the letter.

"Fuck you mas. What are you doing Vanila?! What are you doing, mas? So Vanila wants a divorce from you? What does this all mean?!" Vano asked angrily while gripping tightly the collar of Aldrin's shirt which was just silent.

"Mas! Answer me !." Vano said that was still emotional.

"Mas wrong. Mas stupid. It's wrong." Aldein said regretfully.

"I've lost the mas, don't hurt Vanila. Once you get sick with Vanilla, I'll take Vanilla from you. I don't care, even if you want my siblings, I don't care" said Vano full of anger. Then get out and immediately drive the motor to the terminal.

Aldrin who realized that he also had to find Vanila immediately pulled the car out of the carport and headed to the airport. Aldrin also contacted some of his men to help him locate and track down Vanila.

All day Aldrin, Vano and his men searched for Vanilla in the town of S. But Vanilla was swallowed by the earth, leaving no trace of anything. Even at airports, terminals, and ports, there are no passenger manifest on behalf of Vanilla.

After a day of searching, Aldrin decided to return to Vanilla's house, trying to find clues from Sa's mbok, or clues that could show Vanila where to go.

Vano, who had been at Vanilla's house with Salma and Yusuf, looked at Aldrin with an angry look. Even Abah Yusuf hit Aldrin. Abah Yusuf did not believe that Aldrin had an agreement to divorce Vanilla before they married.

"You have a good religious education. You know very well that Allah does not like divorce even if it is lawful. But why did you do that to Aisyah?! Aisha is still a child. How he lives out there later. How you should answer to Arlan. How's Al?" Abah Yusuf said with a trembling voice holding back his tears and anger. Aldrin was silent, knowing that this was all his fault.

"I'll find Vanilla. If I could find Vanilla. Let go of Vanila. Let me take care of Vanila." Vano then stood up from his seat and was about to leave.

"Cannot. Lala mas wife. Until whenever she's a wife. I'm not going to divorce her !" aldrin said furiously, hearing Vano's words.

"If you don't want to divorce Vanilla, why is it written that you're going to divorce her?!" asked Vano furiously.

Aldrin told me all the misunderstandings that happened. Aldrin told me that he had known Vanila for a long time, before he left for the country of M. Aldrin mistakenly thought that Sidqila was Vanilla, because as long as he knew Vanilla, Aldrin only knew the name Lala. Vanilla never gave her real name. Sidqila bears many physical similarities to Lala. Unlike Vanilla when he became Aisyah, So Aldrin thought Sidqila was Vanilla and promised to worship it when Sidqila finished school.

"You look for Aisyah until you meet. Abah doesn't want to know. Whatever Aisha's decision later, Abah will accept." said Abah Yusuf then pamph to mbok Sa with Umi Salma to return to the boarding school.

Vano also left Aldrin kneeling in the middle of the living room regretting his actions.
