Tough Widow
Dispart

Mentari is not yet fully published, but Ayu is already at the house of Angga. Unlike usual who welcomed with a sour face, this time Bu Winda immediately hugged Ayu when the woman entered the house.

''Where's the Angga, Auntie?'' tanya Ayu stared at the door of Angga's room which was tightly closed.

''Usually, after dawn he went to sleep again. Maybe I'm still sleeping now too.'' Miss Winda dismantles the habit of Angga every morning.

Ayu put her food on the dining table. Tell the kids to stay in place. Then he opened the door to Angga's room and took off his shoes. Afraid to tease Angga who appears to lie on the bed by hugging the bolster.

This was the last day they met, it meant that after this there was no longer Angga with Ayu.

May God always protect you, my. May God always take care of you. Wherever you are, I always pray the best for you and your aunt.

Ayu stepped out slowly without a sound. He approached the bed and then shook his head to see the state of the room was so messy. Blankets and pillows are not scratch-card.

You slacker, has he never tidied up his own blanket?

Unintentionally Ayu stepped on the clothes of Angga who was lying on the floor until his body staggered and fell on the bed.

''Okay...'' Ayu grimaced as her legs felt sprained.

Angga who felt the crucifixion of something slowly opened his eyes. How shocked to see Ayu's face so close to hers.

''Why are you here, darling?' you entered the wrong room?'' said Angga who still digelantur.

Rubbed his eyes. Clear his sight. He is not fully aware yet but realizes that the person currently leaning on his chest is Ayu. The woman he loved most besides his mother.

''It's not wrong to enter the room, Mas. I did deliberately go to your room.'' Ayu rubbed her head which was painful due to hit Angga's chest.

''Really?'' Angga laughed loudly. This morning the man was very handsome with a cocoa shirt and also a sarong made Ayu stunned.

''Lock the door first dong, later someone will see, '' Pinta Angga silly.

Instantly his hand was hit by Ayu. ''Don't want ah, what the hell, I'm just here to say, if I bring food. Cepetan out the kids are waiting." Ayu bowed, unexpected things she saw from under the bed.

''Astagfirullah Mas Angga, why are you so dirty? What's this?'' Lifting the triangular fabric again which is maroon-colored.

''It's clean, really. I was going to get into the suitcase but missed, ''' kilah Angga.

Forced Ayu to open the suitcase belonging to Angga again and put his belongings that are still left behind. Tell the man to come down and tidy up his blanket.

''You and the children sleep here.''

Not a typical Ayu who easily accepts offers, the answer still shakes his head.

''You want to take me to the airport too, right?'' asked Angga without taking his eyes off Ayu's face.

Ayu nodded. It was his promise to his three children. They want to see Angga get on a plane.

''Promise me that you will be loyal to me. Don't choose another. Don't go back to Ikram.''

What kind of request is that?

Ayu smiled. For the last time he dared to kiss the back of Angga's hand hiding behind a blanket.

''I promise, Mom. Even if we don't get along, I will be loyal and won't accept anyone else's proposal. I'll wait for you five years and struggle raising children. Five years I will learn to be a better person. And five years I just want to see your picture. Trust me! Although this is not a promise before Allahz I will not deny it.

''Release, Mas. I yelled," Ayu said, feeling goosebumps. Although not in direct contact, Angga's behavior has gone too far. Slowly Angga let go of his embrace.

Let Ayu down. If it is not done, then Angga does not know what will happen next. Because, there is something that has thrashed want to escape from the nest.

Ayu tidied up her hijab again. He's afraid people out there are accusing him of doing the no-no. Then, prepare the clothes that will be worn Angga leave.

''Now we go out to eat first!'' take Ayu to Angga who still looks lazy and lies on the bed.

Maybe this is a farewell for them, but Angga considers this is the beginning of the struggle to get a real happiness. Because after this he will be more free to live with Ayu and her children. It is not easy to achieve a goal. However, with good and sincere intentions surely all of that will come the time.

''I will definitely miss you, your cooking, also your smile.'' Angga chews his food slowly.

The clock kept turning

Now Angga and his family and Ayu are at the international airport. They were still in the car because there were still a few minutes left before Angga left.

''Kiss papa dong.'' Angga pointed his cheeks right in front of Alifa and Adiba.

Ayu chose silence and kept a million hidden expressions.

''Don't be sad anymore.'' Angga's hand stalling touching Ayu's hijab.

''Don't you want to say something to me?'' Angga teased Ayu who from earlier continued to be silent.

''What kind of words?'' ask Ayu back.

His heart was too furious to let go of Angga. However, he resigned with the destiny of the Esa.

''As for you, the important thing is that I like it.''

I looked to the left right. Apparently there was no one but him and Angga. The kids follow the others.

Ayu looked up, aligned her gaze with Angga. ''I love you, Mas Angga.'' Ayu said straightforwardly.

Angga can't believe, it's like a dream. The expression of love from Ayu's lips was the only memory sculpted in her heart.

''Would you like to repeat it again?'' pinta Angga pleaded.

Ayu. Closer his lips right to Angga's ear and then said. ''I love you, Mas Angga.''

Without warning, Angga hugged Ayu tightly. Let it be, at least it'll be medicine when he peegi later.

''Come back soon, I am waiting for you!''

''I love you too, love you very much.''

The goose got off the car. Ayu followed him from behind.

Once again Angga said goodbye to family. He unceasingly kissed Ayu's three children. Especially to Hanan.

''Prove to papa that you will be a great brother. When you go home later, I hope you have more skills.''

Hanan nodded then respectfully.
