Arriving at the boarding house, Aisyah immediately got off the bike Bayu. "Why new now, Mom? Had you been willing to change, maybe things would not be like this, "inner Aisha, she looked at Bayu who was lowering her luggage.

"Mas Bayu should just go home! It's night, Mom. Aisyah does not feel good with other boarding neighbors," said Aisyah when Bayu had dropped all her luggage.

"But Deck, we're still..." Bayu did not have the courage to continue his sentence, let alone look at Aisyah's face that seemed to have been very tired.

"Enough, Mom. Aish's decision remains the same, sorry Aish. Aish was no longer able to hold everything by herself. Thanks for taking Aish home. Sorry, Aisyah has already troubled Mas Bayu." Aisyah immediately passed carrying her luggage, she did not care about Bayu who was still silent beside her motorbike.

Bayu could only resignedly see Aisyah step away towards her boarding room. Can't bear to actually see Aisyah who hassles carrying a travel bag and some other items.

"I'm sorry, Dek. Too late to realize everything. Diana was right, you're a lot wrong, Dek. It is natural that you are disappointed and hate. But until any moment I won't let go of you and Zahra, Dek. You all make mas, Dek," said Bayu lirih.

After making sure Aisyah went into her boarding room, Bayu immediately put her matic motorbike back into the rented. Along the way he continued to curse his stupidity that had been ignored to his wife and child all this time. Inwardly determined to make amends for all these mistakes, he would seek to melt Aisha's heart. Whatever he would do, to make Aisyah come back

***

"Aisha, have you come? There's good too, yes, if you live in a gini office deck, Aish. So we can save time as well" said Tian.

"Eh, yes, sir. Can save costs too," kekeh Aisyah.

"Oh, yes, Aish, here I bring you a fruit salad. I bought two servings, initially wanting to eat myself. Uh, it turns out that one serving has made full and seger in the body. This is for you, yes!" tian said, he placed a package on Aisyah's table.

"Oh, yes, sir. Thank you," replied Aisyah briefly. Actually Aisyah wanted to refuse, but she did not want to argue with Tian.

Tian's attention continued on a daily basis, looking at Aisyah who had never refused his gift. Almost every day Tian always brought something to Aisyah. Tian seemed to get a breath of fresh air to get back closer to Aisyah.

Aisyah thought that by accepting Tian's gift, everything would be fine and proceed normally as usual. However, it turned out that Aisyah was wrong, Aisyah's attitude even made Tian misunderstand.

"Aisha, I'll go home with me. We happen to be in the same direction, right?" tian asked, as they began to clean up their respective work desks as soon as the office hours arrived.

"No sir, Aish can go home alone. The road leading to Aish kost, this hour is still crowded sir. Aish is still brave," replied Aisyah.

There was a sense of disappointment when again Aisyah rejected Tian's offer. This was the number of times that Aisyah had turned down Tian's offer to drive her home. But Tian did not give up, he would patiently wait and still try to melt his heart adoration.

As long as Aisyah gets a day shift, every night Bayu always takes the time to pick up Aisyah in front of the office where Aisyah works. However, Aisyah always refused Bayu's offer to drive her home. Aisyah chose to keep walking on her own, even though she knew that Tian and Bayu always followed her from a distance.

Aisyah did not care, the most important thing for Aisyah now is how she gets money from her own hard work to meet all the needs of herself and Zahra. He does not want to depend on Bayu if they are divorced later. "Must be independent" inwardly Aisha. The words never disappeared from Aisyah's memory.

"Daddy, I want to talk."

"You're talking, especially, Mas. Isn't everything clear. Mas Bayu is not a child who must be told over and over again to understand," replied Aisyah ketus. He looked at Bayu with disappointment.

"But, Deck. I can't be far from you and Zahra. Please don't torture me like this, Dek. Let's go home! My promise will change, Deck. I will always protect you and Zahra. I'm sorry, Dek. Please forgive me," said Bayu with a sad look.

"Sorry it's easy, Mom. But to heal wounds that have repeatedly gaping, not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Please Mas, let go of Aisyah. Let Aish heal this wound himself. Aisyah please, take care of our divorce immediately as soon as possible," said Aisyah with teary eyes. He immediately went into the boarding room, without caring about Bayu.

"Aisha, wait! Open the door I'm not done talking." Bayu tried to knock on the door of Aisyah's room. But the door remained closed.

"Until now, I will never divorce you, Aisha. You and Zahra will forever be mine. I will fight you back, we will always be together." Bayu said with emphasis.

Meanwhile, Aisyah was leaning behind the door. His heart was deeply wounded by Bayu's attitude. Honestly, actually in the little heart of the woman, she did not want to be separated from her husband. Aisha still loves her husband. However, the shadow of Bayu and Indar again filled his mind. The wounds in his heart went back.

"Please, Mas. Don't make Aish worry about your attitude. Don't make Aish a plan-man like you. Let Aish alone," he said, which Bayu certainly did not hear.

Bayu still flinching in front of his wife's room. He hoped, Aisyah changed her mind and was willing to return to her contract together with him. However, for twenty minutes Bayu waited, Aisyah did not also open the door.

Bayu also chose to withdraw. "Maybe Aish still needs some time to think back. I'll wait, Dek. Until you're ready to talk without emotion. Clearly, I will never divorce you" he said in his heart.

Bayu returned to his motorbike, he immediately drove through the darkness of the night. Bayu did not care about the cold air that touched his skin. The thin black-robed man without the jacket was completely oblivious to himself.

Tian, who had noticed earlier, immediately hid behind a tree when Bayu came out from the courtyard of Aisyah's boarding house. There was a little bit of pity in his heart. However Tian is a man who failed in his household, he can feel how Bayu feels when his wife asks to divorce him immediately.
