The day went by so quickly, one day Reyhan spent getting to know each other with Agra Nadia's son, that he did so that Agra became familiar with him and could receive the lessons he would give.
Reyhan was actually very confused how to become a tutor, this was his first time doing, and also because the only way so he could be close to Aisyah, he said, finally, inevitably he accepted the way made by Nadia and the Word.
Fortunately Reyhan thought quickly to find a way, he opened the YouTube app and found a way to get close to a child to become a tutor, he also immediately practiced what was taught by a YouTuber, and thankfully the way it managed to run smoothly, within a few hours Agra could immediately get along with him, he said, even a blessing to Reyhan because Aisyah's in-laws seem to be getting close to her.
Reyhan came home happy, one step of his efforts had worked, and of course he hoped the next steps would also work. Reyhan's car stopped in front of Nazwa's house, smiling he got down and handed over the keys to his car with Rangga who happened to be sitting on the porch of his father-in-law's house.
"Mas, will I take you?" Asked Rangga, he offered to send Reyhan to his house.
"No, just walk." Reyhan replied with a smile.
He also stepped home cheerfully, to make Rangga confused and curious, what really happened to his brother.

After the Dzuhur Prayer at the boarding school, Reyhan rushed away in his car, he was impatient to start his activities as a teacher, and also met with Aisyah of course.
Reyhan was welcomed by Agra, and they immediately began their teaching and learning activities. On the sidelines of Reyhan and Agra's activities, Aisyah is seen appearing with a cold drink in front of them, just as Reyhan becomes fixated when he sees Aisyah, he does not blink when Aisyah is in front of him.
"Sugary." Reyhan murmured, and his speech was heard by Agra.
"Uncle likes?" Agra asked, while giving a cold orange drink to Reyhan.
"Of course." Answer Reyhan. While Aisyah was still standing before them watching Agra's behavior.
"Drink." Agra said as he brought the drink closer to Reyhan's face, the coldness that suddenly touched the skin of his face made Reyhan surprised, and accidentally nudged the drink to spill over his body.
"Yahh, wet." Arga said grieving, he seemed to feel guilty to Reyhan.
"Sorry, I'm sorry Agra." Said Aisyah while taking a glass of drink that was still in Agra's hand, while Reyhan wagged the remaining water on his shirt.
"So, it's okay." Answer Reyhan.
"What's up, Ai?" Nadia asked who came out of the kitchen when she heard the commotion.
"Agra accidentally spilled Reyhan mba's drink." Aisyah.
"Are you okay, Rey?" Ask Nadia.
"It's okay mba." Answer Reyhan.
"I'm sorry Rey." Nadia.
"Om sorry about me." Agra said with a sad face.
"It's okay, baby." Reyhan replied as he gently rubbed Agra's head.
"Ai, try to find Arga's clothes, maybe there's something that will fit Reyhan." Nadia Pinta.
"Yes mba." Aisyah immediately rushed into her room, and looked for her husband's clothes to give to Reyhan.
After finding the right clothes, Aisyah seemed silent for a moment staring at her husband's clothes in his hands, she seemed sad because she remembered when her husband had once worn those clothes to meet her.
Aware of her daydream, Aisyah immediately came out and immediately gave the shirt to Reyhan, and Reyhan immediately went to the bathroom in the kitchen to change her clothes. Aisyah cleaned up the spill on the floor, then she brought the glasses of drink intend to replace it with a new one.
At the same time, Reyhan came out of the bathroom wearing the Arga shirt that Aisyah gave him. Suddenly it made Aisyah become silent when she saw Reyhan, the shadow of her husband running around filled her head, the longing that he had been yearning for so many made Aisyah unable to stem the tears that were about to spill, and it made Reyhan confused.
Reyhan noticed the clothes he was wearing, and at once he understood that Aisyah must be crying because she missed her husband.
"Dad." Reyhan tried to get close to Aisyah, and she accidentally touched the hand of the woman in front of him.
Aisyah was surprised when Reyhan's hand touched her arm, her gaze looked so sharp, she quickly shook Reyhan's hand and immediately turned her body.
"Ma, sorry I didn't mean to." Not yet Reyhan finished his words, suddenly Aisyah immediately went away from before him as she heard the coughing voice of her father-in-law who seemed to be heading to the kitchen.
Reyhan soon returned to Agra who had changed clothes because of drinking water, then they began their lesson again.
***
A few days after that incident Aisyah rarely appeared in front of Reyhan, and seemed to avoid, it made Reyhan feel guilty, it made Reyhan, he recounts the incident to Nadia and intends to stop everything because Reyhan's goal is actually to get close to Aisyah, but Nadia tries hard to persuade Reyhan not to give up there.
Nadia tried to talk to Aisyah, she said that Reyhan wanted to stop being a teacher of les Agra because of guilt to her and Aisyah's attitude that seemed to avoid making Reyhan feel more guilty. Finally, not wanting Reyhan to stop being a tutoring teacher for Agra, Aisyah went back to acting as usual, and apologized to Nadia for her attitude, which almost made Agra lose her tutor. Indeed all this was done by Aisha solely for Agra.

Reyhan came with a cheerful face, he was also heard singing cheerfully while giving the car keys to Rangga who did borrow Reyhan's car. Rangga intends to bring Nazwa to check his condition, before their departure next week to Jakarta to check into the hospital where Nazwa was treated.
"Where's the gas? As I've seen lately mas often go after Dzuhur and come home this evening?" Asked Rangga who had been confused for a few days to see his brother's behavior.
"Teaching." Rangga replied with a small laugh.
"meaning?"
"I'm now a teacher." Reyhan replied with a smile.
"Teacher les?" Rangga looks increasingly confused and does not believe Reyhan's words.
"Yes. Mas became a tutoring teacher of a little boy, Agra Her name. You won't know, you go home first." Said Rangga while shaking his hand slowly in front of his face, he also stepped away.
"Mas don't want me to send?" Tanya Rangga offered before her brother went far.
"No, before magrib mas comes here again." Reyhan replied as he passed away.
Rangga entered and met Nazwa, they went to a clinic to check on Nazwa's health, and while on the way Rangga also told about Reyhan who became a tutor.
"Darling, do you know a boy named Agra?" Ask Rangga to his wife.
"Agra? The name seems familiar, but I forgot, why?" Ask Nazwa.
"What's wrong, Reyhan said he was now a tutor for a boy named Agra." Obviously Rengga.
"Teacher les?'' Nazwa was a little surprised to hear her husband's explanation, then he seemed to think and try to remember something.
"Mas, I remember, Agra was the son of Nadia's mother-in-law, Aisyah's sister-in-law." Nazwa said while tapping his index finger on his chin.
"Nadia, Ayesha?" Rangga seemed to have just heard those names.
"Yes, Umi Salma's son." Obviously Nazwa, and he remembered something. "Mas I remember something." Nazwa again made her husband confused to see his expression that was like he was finding something valuable.
Rangga who was driving, at a glance turned his face to see the behavior of Nazwa, he was seen raising his eyebrows like asking for an explanation to his wife.
"I've heard Reyhan say that he's in love with a girl named Aisyah." Nazwa recalled Reyhan's words under the tree, when she was still sick and before her husband's arrival.
"O yeah?" Rangga smiled, he looked happy with his wife's story.
"That means now that Reyhan is trying to get close to Aisyah by approaching Nadia's daughter-in-law Aisyah." Nazwa said, but Nazwa's last words made Rangga's face turn confused.
"Sister-in-law? That means Aisyah's married, baby?" Rangga asked with a confused look.
"Yes dear, but Aisyah's husband died two years ago. Her parents did not believe in it and believed her son was still alive, which is why Aisyah still had to live in her husband's parents' house, and look forward to her husband's unlikely return.“ Nazwa with a sad face
"It's so sorry." Rangga.
"Uncle and aunt have tried to talk so that Aisha can get out of the house and stay with them again, but unfortunately they did not manage to bring Aisyah home, instead getting scorned." Nazwa told her husband the chronology of the incident.
Their chatter continued throughout the trip and only stopped after they arrived at the clinic.
***
It's been two weeks since Reyhan became a teacher of les Agra, the boy looks more and more sticky to Reyhan, as well as Aisyah, Aisyah, he looks ordinary with the presence of Reyhan and has begun to be familiar even though they have to keep their distance.
Sometimes many events are deliberately made by Nadia so that Aisyah and Reyhan can talk to each other, not infrequently Nadia can see the look of love in Aisyah's eyes for Reyhan and vice versa. Aisyah is also often caught by him trying to steal the features of view, even Aisyah once seemed agitated when Reyhan did not come to teach because of his obstruction.
Nadia was very happy because she felt her efforts were not in vain, even though until now only she knew about Aisyah's attitude and could not afford to tell her parents about it.
Nadia once asked about Reyhan's feelings for Aisyah and also once urged Reyhan to immediately express his feelings to Aisyah, because soon her husband will return from his duties and when it arrives, she said, there will be no more reason for Reyhan to go to his parents' house, because they will return to their house. But unfortunately Reyhan still did not have the courage for it.
***
"Rey, tomorrow at Firman's coming home from out of town, the day after tomorrow you don't have to come here to teach." Nadia said, they were seen talking in the living room, before Reyhan came home, because his job to teach Agra that day was over.
Reyhan only seemed to take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
"Are you still not intending to declare your love for Aisha?" Ask Nadia. For a moment Reyhan was silent.
"It seems like I should say it, I'll talk to Aisyah, and admit about my feelings, I'll say that I like her." Reyhan.
"What did you say?" Unwittingly by Nadia and Reyhan, the middle-aged lung man called papa by Nadia was already standing near them, and heard everything Reyhan said.
They turned around and saw who was behind them. Nadia's face looked so pale when she saw her papa, her body trembling to accept the fear that was haunting her. Likewise with Reyhan, he was no less afraid at that time, but there was no other choice, because it was no longer possible to retreat, he said, finally he tried to confess his feelings to Aisha to Nadia's parents.
"Tell me again what I heard earlier, so that I don't misunderstand." The man's reddened face restrained his anger, but he was still trying to calm down because he wanted to hear Reyhan's confession once again, maybe he had misheard his thoughts.
Because of his voice that was quite langtang, finally invited his wife and Aisyah out and approached the three of them who were seen standing facing each other.
Aisyah is seen reading the situation by looking at the faces of Nadia and Reyhan alternately, she can see that there is a mistake to Nadia and Reyhan, because their faces can show it clearly, but he really doesn't know all that because of him. Aisyah and her mother-in-law were also seen approaching.
"Sa, I love Aisha." Said Reyhan who immediately looked at Aisyah who was standing behind her in-laws.
"What do you mean by your words?" Papa Nadia's face looks redder and both eyes look perfectly rounded like they will swallow Reyhan.
"Yes, I love Aisyah, I love your daughter-in-law, I'm sorry but I can't lie that I love her I love, Ais.. "
Plaque..
Not yet perfect Reyhan said his name, suddenly Aisyah approached and immediately slapped a hard slap into Reyhan's face.
"Don't be rude, don't you ever say those words again in this house. Go away you." With a quiver of Aisyah's lips saying those words, her hands were seen pointing towards the exit to Reyhan.
"Dad." Seeing the actions of her sister-in-law, Nadia came closer.
Not to be outdone, papa Nadia also approached her daughter-in-law who still looks emotional.
"I'm guessing you already know the answer, so please get out." Papa Nadia.
Shattered and ashamed, Reyhan finally stepped out, and not yet at the doorway, he turned his body to look at Aisyah who might stop his steps, but instead called out, Aisyah was instead seen throwing her face away and turning around to leave the room towards the kitchen.
Feeling that there was no chance for him, Reyhan stepped away and drove his car home.
Meanwhile, Nadia who saw Reyhan's departure feeling devastated, felt so guilty, he who forced Reyhan to enter into his family's life and asked the man to help free Aisyah from her parents' shackles, finally only got disappointment and shame caused by Aisyah.
"The bad father." Nadia said as she swept away the tears flowing down her face.
"Wicked papa? Do you think your actions that bring a man and betrothed to your own sister's wife are good deeds, papa did not think that this is all your plans, is the Word also involved in this?" Reply papa.
"Pa, give Aisha the freedom to let her live normally, until when you will close your eyes and realize that Arga is no pa, Arga is dead." Nadia was unable to control her speech which further enraged her father.
"Shut your mouth, Nadia, you bratty kid dares to talk like that to papa." The man raised his voice while pointing at his daughter's face. Meanwhile, seeing her husband getting emotional, his wife quickly approached and tried to dampen her emotions by gently rubbing her husband's arm.
"Pa, calm down don't be emotional, papa will be sick again." Her speech. "Nadia, you better get in your room." He said to his daughter who was still crying.
Nadia went into her room and hugged her son who was cool with his smartphone.
"Mama why cry?" Ask Agra innocently.
"Mom again misses papa." Nadia lied to her son.
"Tomorrow, papa will come home." Say the boy again while rubbing his mother's teary face.
"Yes dear." Nadia answered while kissing her son many times.
While Aisyah, when she heard the debate Nadia and her papa were going on, without feeling her tears fell and felt flowing more and more, she realized that what Nadia did was solely for her good, she realized, but he could do nothing.
Guilt over her attitude towards Reyhan began to surround her heart, without her realizing that she had fallen in love with Reyhan, and when she saw Reyhan's departure, actually his heart was hurting and slashed.
