When That Sense Is Present

58.Agra's attitude and wedding preparations

The morning mist began to glow, the sun tinge began to radiate. Caya's small steps break through the side of the park at Haris opa's house. The little girl so woke up from her sleep immediately looking for the figure of Alif. Behind her there was Oma who followed while continuing to call her name.

"Wait for Oma nak" his breath was cut off even though his steps were small but so agile and fast that he left Oma behind.

"Saya wants to be with Daddy" Caya turned her head. Her thin lips pursed. Looks like Caya is spoiled.

"Daddy you're in the back, let's go between Oma" finally Oma can reach Caya's little fingers.

Caya stopped her steps, she felt a warm grasp of Oma's hand, then the little girl laughed "Oma's hand feels warm"

"Oh yeah, Caya's hands are also smooth, soft, Oma likes" the two head to the pool to meet Alif.

Caya sat by the pool and called Alif who was swimming.

"Daddy...Caya wants to be with Daddy" Caya started whining.

"Dady's son is up?" Alif popped out of the pool and pulled over. He approached his daughter.

" Daddy come...."

"Where'd Caya go?"

"Caya wants to go to momy's place" Alif immediately went up to the mainland.His wet body was immediately dried.

"Same miss momy? Daddy too" Alif chuckled, Caya was already in Alif's arms, her head leaning against his shoulder.

"Dady..., cold" Caya complained.

"Sit here first, Dady wants to use his towel" but Caya shook her head, the little girl seemed to not want to get away from Alif.

Alif kissed the back of the hand of Mama Ajeng. he noticed his future in-laws who already look neat.

"Where are you going?"

"Tomorrow Agra" replied mama Ajeng with a smile. Alif frowned, astonished.

"For what, Ma?"alif asked back.

"There's something you need to explain to Agra, at least Agra has a story from two sides. Kasian if his heart only filled with anger. Mama knows what her father is like"

"But ma..."

"Mama among Luthfis, don't worry"

Antyka appears with a tray filled with coffee. Alif's attention was shifted to the figure who was putting coffee on the table. Wearing an instant black veil and a very simple home-gown, but unable to cover her beauty. Drops alone, the elegance of the body is plump, the face is ovoid with clean white skin as well as small lips full of red blush look wet. Able to pump Alif's heart faster. Alif sighed for a moment, his gaze still fixed on Antyka.

"Diminum Lif" mama's voice disperse Alif's concentration.

"yes, ma"

***

"What'd you ask for, Anty?" Alif said as they just sat alone in the living room of the Luthfi house. Mama just left with Luthfi. Even before leaving, Luthfi had warned Karin, so as not to let Antyka and Alif just alone. But it feels like Karin does not have that much courage, to join in the living room with her two sisters-in-law.

Antyka thought for a moment with Alif's question. Then I look hesitant to say.

"Tell me" Alif knows the woman in front of him looks reticent to be blunt.

"I want our old wedding ring and apartment. Does Mr Alif still have his ring? I miss where we were together, too. Every time I passed the building it felt like something was missing, half of my heart" Antyka lowered her head

"Of course I kept it Anty, and the apartment is yours. Tell me the dowry you don't have yet"

"If it is, it is up to Mr. Alif"

"Emhhmm..., sure it's up to me? you won't regret it?" Alif rolled his eyes. "What if my heart dowries?"

"Marling..." Antyka's pinch landed in Alif's hands. Unknowingly, Alif groaned.

"After marriage I'll take you to Switzerland. I want to catch up with Mike, I want twins. Caya would have liked, instantly had two cute sisters"

"We don't have twins, Mr. Alif. Where can?"

"Yes the effort continues until it succeeds, the world of medicine is very advanced"

"His fantasy, Ijab also did not want twins" Karin came to them. "Lif, you better go home. There is no one in this house. I have to go to Luthfi's office to replace him"

Karin has to expel Alif for now. Luthfi will be furious when he finds out Karin left two people who were in a drunk love just the two.

Reluctantly Alif was forced to leave, however Antyka is not yet his wife anymore. After saying goodbye to Caya, Alif went home.

***

"I don't want to see them" Agra didn't turn down the guest who was going to see him, but his lawyer insisted on Agra.

"Mr Agra, they came good well. Wanted to talk and tell Mr. Agra something. If the master cooperates, maybe the demands can be withdrawn"

Agra let out a crisp laugh, "Although it was unplugged. I've committed a crime without charge, I'm still going to be in this prison"

"At least sir, the punishment could be lighter. Mister...."

" It's good." Agra finally gave up and followed her lawyer to meet the guest who was going to visit her.

The frail woman was sitting, staring at Agra. Yet Agra returned that gaze with a look of hatred.

"Pull Agra.." greet Luthfi as they sit across.

"No need to speak stale, say what you want to say" Agra turned his head away not wanting to meet a woman who was the same age as his mother's Almarhumah.

"Agra. Said mama Ajeng while sighing. "You're wrong to hold a grudge against my family"

"You...you know how much it hurts, mommy? That's because the man Mami loves actually called her out for choosing you"

"Agra.., your mother is a beautiful woman, full of passion and ambition. We were friends at that time. Airin really wanted Kris. But Kris never had any feelings for Airin. Until an incident that trapped me, Kris and Airin. I was saved by Antyka's father. The man I love so much. While Airin and Kris are stuck because of their stupidity"

"Kris punished Airin for dragging him into a trap. He also went abroad. A few months later, Kris returned. I had a chance meet, Kris expressed his desire to find Airin he wanted to see the child that Airin was born with. Kris regrets for taking too long to punish Airin"

"We got stuck in the lunta there. You're lying if that guy's looking for us?" Agra did not believe the story of Ajeng's mother.

"He sought you Agra, until the end of his life he did not marry.he felt guilty all his life for ignoring you. I had nothing to do with you guys, I almost fell victim to the Airin Trap"

"Lies..., Mami is not that kind of person" Agra kicked the table in front of her. Mama Ajeng gasped in shock, she held his chest. Luthfi who saw that was all shocked and instantly panicked.

"Ma..., Mama's okay, Mama's sick?"

"Yes.mama was just shocked. Mom's chest is a little sore"

Agra was stunned, he felt guilty for making the frail woman in front of him shocked. Though his heart hates but he is a man who has a conscience. Agra sat back down, he was restless.

"Agra, you are young.please clean your heart. It's for the peace of your soul, son. Explain what ever happened to you. Don't share your emotions and grudges. Your life will be filled with anxiety. Do you know if there is a fairest court? all our mistakes will be accounted for later" Mama Ajeng's hand touched Agra's fingers on the table.

Agra melted, with the treatment of Ajeng's mother. He had burned down a restaurant, a garment and nearly harmed his daughter. But the woman in front of him touched with a warm feeling. Like the touch of a mother who worries about her son.

"I'm not vengeful, you're a victim of the greed, the selfishness of your parents, son. Forgive your papi who didn't manage to find you. Forgive your mother for her selfishness, and the grudges she has planted. Please reflect on my word. I'm gonna take this out. That's all I can do to help Kris and Airin's son. In the future may you be happy, son''

Agra cannot say the word. His cold heart suddenly became fragile and sick. For the first time he felt the sincerity of the person he was wearing. When the Luthfi smears a frail body from before him, Agra can only freeze with a roaring heart.

"I will accept this punishment. Thank you "Agra is back in the holding room.

***

On the way home arrived the condition of the mother's body dropped dramatically. Mama Ajeng held onto her chest while enduring the pain. Her body temperature's rising.

"Mama has to be strong, in a minute until the hospital. Luthfi nyesel has sent mama to meet Agra jerk" Luthfi clasped his fingers.

Mama shook her head. Look lovingly at a very devoted son.

"Don't be mad, Fi. My mom is old. At least at the end of your life, you can give lanterns to children Airin and Kris. Please dismiss Agra's lawsuit. Whatever happens to you, it's destiny, Fi. Don't hate or blame"

"Mama will be fine, '' said Luthfi, trying to shake off his anxiety.

As soon as he reached the hospital, Mama Ajeng immediately received medical attention. Luthfi had told Antyka to come to the hospital.

Lutfi was still pacing back and forth restlessly, he was waiting for the doctor who was examining Mama.

"Lif.., please mama" cried Lutfi as Alif had just arrived. His life just disappeared. Luthfi looks very fragile.

Alif knows how Luthfi feels. He must be very sad if something happens to Mama Ajeng.

"Sister Luthfi don't panic. We pray for the best for Mom. The team of doctors will work hard to restore the condition of the mother"

"I don't know what to say to Anty, I shouldn't have followed your mother's wishes, if it was going to happen like this"

"Whatever it is sister, Mama has done what she thinks is good. All the secrets of God. Don't think bad. I'm going in"

Back Luthfi flinched while alone in Alif's residence. His heart boomed with guilt over the condition of mama Ajeng. But he must rely on all events that occur, not just because of man, there is destiny, God's intervention. Luthfi got up and immediately took wudu. Some people have this life. It will honor the Creator.

Antyka scavenged her courage to enter the care room of the mother, there was already the brother, also Alif. Her chest feels tight. There is fear that grips her mind. The fact that he feared so much, will again lose the person he loved so much.

"Come in" orders Alif who looks at him full of worry. But Antyka lowered her head, her half-powerless body frozen in front of the door. Antyka's eyes dewed and restrained Isaac.

Alif approached, grabbing Antyka's hand. "Mama wants to meet, the situation is good.don't be afraid" Alif said in a soft tone. The two approached the bed where Mom was lying.

Mama's eyes blinked, staring at her daughter's shade. A smile he gave. Antyka immediately grabbed hold of the warm finger of mama.

"Ma...," the voice was almost inaudible, Antyka's throat felt dry.

"Anty.." The hand rubbed Antyka's head. Calm the princess.

A sense of relief infiltrated Antyka's heart, as if she was detached from the suffocating crush. Seeing my mom is okay now.

"Mama's fine, sit by mama, here. Mama wants to talk. You're also Lif" Mama looked at the two. He saw excessive worry about his daughter and also the future daughter-in-law. "Continue your wedding plans, don't delay them anymore"

"But my mom is still sick" Antyka said, staring at her.

"Mama wants to see you guys get married, Kasian Caya every time has to go around here just to meet you. get married tomorrow as originally planned"

"Already obedient Anty, I'm also calmer when you're married. All preparations have been arranged by Karin and Alif's family. Your wedding will be as simple as possible, won't it be Lif ?"

"You don't matter, Anty. Is our marriage simple?" Alif looked at Antyka.

"Yes, it's okay" Antyka finally agreed to the plan. He hesitated not because of the simple, Antyka hesitated but because of the state of the mother who was still lying in the hospital.

" Now you go home, to prepare tomorrow. Let me take care of Mama here"

"Anty also wants to take care of mama, brother"

"No, this is my mother's wish. We have to make him happy, Anty. You want your mom to heal, right?"

Antyka feels selfish, she looks doubtful at her brother, why always can not be filial at the right time.

"Sister Luthfi, when Dad was sick, I couldn't keep him company, mom was sick, I was preparing for the wedding. I'm like a useless child" Lirih Antyka.

"Mama wants you to get married, she still wants to watch your wedding, Anty. That's how you make your mom happy. What else?" Luthfi holds the head of Antyka. "Have gone there. Alif is waiting"

Antyka could only sigh, then say goodbye and kiss the mother who started to fall asleep again.

"Anty came home, brother. Forgive your little sister" Pamit Antyka kissed long enough the back of her brother's hand. Luthfi only breathes.

"Heart on the road. tell Karin I'll spend the night here. Get Zeind to drop off my clothes"

"Yes sis..." Antyka smiled faintly, there was a sense of heaviness to step out of the mama's room.

"Anty...." Alif looked back into the room after waiting for a long time outside.

"yes for a moment" Then the two left the nursery.

"You guys stopped by my mom's house, huh?" alif said while turning on the engine of his car when they were already in the car. Antyka did not seem to respond to Alif's words. But Alif tried not to interfere. He knows, it's a tough day for Antyka.

Antyka stared out the window the whole way. Even he did not protest when Alif turned his car towards Alif's house. He remained cool in his own daydream. Alif waited for Antyka for a while, until Antyka realized for herself where she was.

"Isn't this Mr. Alif's house?" Alif chuckled then nodded.

"Newly aware..." Alif opened the car door and got out. Without telling Antyka to follow him.

"It's a good thing you came on time, this is Sarah, Anty" mother introduced a woman in her mid-thirties to Antyka. "She takes care of your clothes and make up tomorrow"

"I'm Antyka, mbak "Antyka reached out and was welcomed by Sarah.

"I'm Sarah, it's nice to meet Anty's mom" Greet Antyka's hand while watching Antyka from head to toe. The impression is not polite, even Antyka looks clumsy himself when in such a gaze. Sarah realized Antyka's gesture that felt uncomfortable "Sorry yes mba Anty, if I am not polite, I was just observing the posture and also the shape of Anty's face. This makes it easier for me to determine what dress and make up I will apply to mbak Antyka"

"Oh so" Antyka just understood Sarah's behavior.

"Let's see Anty, we try her wedding dress" said Sarah, the woman already has an idea to choose a dress that is suitable for Antyka.

"Mother...., the dress is simple, right? Anty did not want to overdo it" Antyka turned to look at Amalia's mother.

"Yes, Anty. Not too much . Simple dress, for Akad event. Although simple still have to be memorable" they enter the room that has been prepared for outfitting, without Alif.
