“You why, how come, just moody from earlier?” ask Bayu when Aisyah takes care of the items that will be taken home.

Aisyah exhaled violently before answering her husband's question. He closed the backpack zipper as a sign that his job was done. “Indar will ride again with us?”

Bayu raised his eyebrows, looking at Aisyah full of search. “Why? You mind?”

Aisyah stared fixedly at Bayu's face. Is Bayu completely insensitive. Since waking up, Bayu ignored him. Leave all Zahra's business to Aisha. He prefers to hang out with his friends. Even there is Indar who looks always attached to the side of Bayu.

“Actually the purpose of Mas ngajak Aisyah here for what? To enjoy a vacation together or just want to show Ais that Mas can be close to any woman other than Ais?”

“What do you mean, anyway? No need to be vague by the way!” sentak Bayu's.

His face was already hardened with anger. He felt that Aisyah's accusations were completely baseless. While Aisyah herself felt Bayu did not appreciate her presence here at all.

“Mas aware no, since leaving here Mas ignore Ais? Mas looks more happy to chat and joke with friends than Ais and Zahra. Even ...”

Aisyah's voice sounded choked as if unable to continue her speech. As strong as the energy of Aisyah dammed the clear details that had been crammed in the eye fertilizer.

“Even Mas chose to sleep with friends Mas. Get together with a woman who is not muhrim.”

Fail. The clear details slid just like that as the sentence came out of Aisyah's lips. Even his voice sounded trembling.

“Why is such a problem you are fussing about? We slept rames. Your mind is too petty Aisyah.” Bayu was really angry with Aisyah's words.

Aisyah. His chest is throbbing pain. Doesn't Bayu understand norms and boundaries?

“That kind of problem you said, huh?” Aisha is emotionally disturbed. His tone also went up, “you are really outrageous, Mas! Where is your adab? What kind of behavior is appropriate for a man who is a husband? I'm disappointed in you, Mas.”

Aisyah wiped her tears violently. He then took Zahra who was asleep in bed. Take him in a sling. He did not forget to take the bag that had been prepared. Without saying much, he left the room.

“Ais, wait!” Bayu immediately took his jacket and caught up with Aisyah. His hasty steps hit a friend.

“Sorry, yes, Dul. Tell the others I first,” he told his friend named Abdul.

“There is a problem, Bay?”

“Slightly. I first, yes,” pamitnya.

“Okey. Careful.”

Bayu hurried after Aisyah. His wide strides made it easy to chase after his wife. He saw Aisyah by the road. He immediately grabbed Aisyah's elbow when his wife was about to run away leaving him.

“Log in to the car!” his word does not want to be disputed.

“I want to go home alone,” reject Aisyah. She looked at her husband with a pus.

“I said come in, Ais!” Bayu slightly dragged Aisyah towards the car where she parked.

Not wanting to attract the attention of Bayu's friends, he also said. Naas, when he was about to get into the car, Indar just appeared.

“Loh, Bay.” Indar grabbed Bayu's arm, “you want to go home now?” Bayu just nodded in response. “then wait for me for a moment, let me beberes.”

“Sorry, Ndar. Go home with the others. I have business.”

Bayu hurried to leave Indar who gawked at his reply. The car that Bayu drove began to leave the villa area. All along the way they were silent to each other. Aisyah threw a glance out the window. Not intending to start a conversation at all.

However, when his net caught the tiny figure in Aisyah's arms, he only realized that since yesterday he had not held his daughter at all. He cursed himself who neglected his little angel. “Sorry father, yes, son,” he said inwardly.

Arriving at home, Bayu woke up Aisyah who was still asleep. Aisyah who was still angry ignored Bayu. This time he did not want to give up. He wants Bayu to be aware of his mistake.

Ambar greeted with a big smile. Aisyah also returned the smile of the in-laws.  Fortunately, he did not meet with Erina or the father, so Aisyah did not have to drain her energy again to hear unfaithful rants from them.

“Dek?” Bayu approached Aisyah who was unpacking her luggage. Zahra was with Ambar. “You don't think things through. Although we sleep rames we do nothing that violates the norm.” Bayu tried to explain full of gentleness after successfully dampening emotions.

Aisyah glanced cynically towards Bayu. Her husband did not admit his mistake. Very stubborn. Similar to his father and brother.

“Dek?” Bayu twisted Aisyah's body to face her.

Lazily Aisyah finally gave attention to her husband. “You want what, anyway, Mas? You think I'll take it for granted with your way of thinking like that?”

“Indeed why can't you accept it? I don't fuck around.” Bayu returned a little emotionally.

“You think for yourself. Ask Mr Ustadz if necessary,” cynical Aisyah, “what is it worth a man who has the status as the head of the family to behave like that? What would your child be like if his father were like this? Do you want, if Zahra has grown up embracing freedom as you do?”

Bayu. He felt shocked when his daughter's name was called. “Did you forget we live with eastern customs? If you want to embrace freedom like western culture, I think you are wrong to choose a wife like me.”

Satisfied with removing her unkempt, Aisyah left Bayu who was dumbstruck. He approached Ambar and also Zahra who was in the middle room.

... ...

Yesterday's quarrel with Bayu made Aisyah not focus at all. He still ignored Bayu.

“You why Ice? I've seen you daydream a lot?” ask Witri during the break. They eat in the pantry. Aisyah who does not have an appetite feels lazy to go to the cafeteria. He only ate a piece of bread that Witri gave him.

“Mbak?” The beautiful Netra Aisyah had already begun to condense. I don't think he can hold everything by himself anymore. Her chest feels tight. He needs someone who can strengthen him. It was impossible for him to tell father or Diana. He doesn't want to worry them.

Witri who understood Aisyah was not doing well, patting gently on the back of Aisyah's hand. “It’s okay, Ice. There's me. You don't have to hesitate to tell me the same story if you want. I promise to keep it a secret.”

Just hearing the sentence from Witri, Aisyah immediately shed her tears. Witri let Aisyah vent her grief. For a while, Aisyah calmed down.

“Sorry yes, Ma'am. I cengeng.”

Witri just smiled wryly in response to the words Aisyah, “Udah meningan?” ask Witri.

Aisyah nodded in doubt. Silence shrouded again as Aisyah wiped away the rest of her tears with the tissue Witri gave her.

“You story? Who knows if I can help?” tawar Witri's.

Aisha finally told me everything. About Bayu's attitude so far, about the father-in-law and his sister-in-law. About their fight yesterday. Let Aisyah said can not keep marwah. He just didn't want to go crazy holding everything by himself.

Witri looked furious at Aisyah's story. He did not think that Aisha would go through it all. She thought Aisyah was fine all along with her marriage. Without them knowing someone also listened to all the problems of Aisyah. He clenched a strong hand. I can't believe Ayesha got such treatment.

“Honey we're late to meet, Ais. If only we had met earlier. I'll make sure you're happy. How lucky that jerk guy got you as his wife.” Inner man it is.
