...************...

Has not lost Aisyah's indignation at Septian for visiting without her permission. Aisyah is now again made furious because of a fight between Bayu and Septian. It was inconceivable how shameful Aisyah was at this moment to her neighbor. Now, Bayu is still sitting on the porch of the house, grimacing in pain from his own actions.

Perhaps if Bayu had not become her husband, Aisha would have expelled him. However, at this time Bayu is still her husband. Aisyah was still obligated to take care of the man.

Aisyah went inside leaving Bayu, then she took a small towel and a basin of cold water from the kitchen.

"Who is Ais?" tanya Agung when Aisyah finished filling the water in the basin.

"For Mas Bayu, sir."

"Not come home yet?"

Aisyah smiled and shook her head. "It's only Mr. Tian who came home, sir. Mas Bayu is still ahead."

Hearing Aisyah's reply, Agung only nodded his head. He understood how Bayu felt to fight for Aisha and Zahra, even though he still held anger towards the man.

Now, Aisyah sat herself right beside Bayu. He wet the towel and then squeezed it. With painstaking Aisyah compresses Bayu's face in parts that look bruised.

Bayu holds back not to whimper, even though the pain and pain he feels. It was all as if covered by the shade of Aisyah's face which was now right in front of her. The beautiful woman he had wasted all this time.

"I'm sorry, yeah. Too often it makes you disappointed."

Hearing Bayu's apology, Aisyah simply replied with a smile and nodded slowly. He no longer knows what to do.

 "What is your heart made of, Ais? Why is it still so good to me after all my treatment of you?" batin Bayu still noticed Aisyah's face.

"Mas, already," said Aisyah disperse the reverie of Bayu.

"Thank you, yeah. You still care about me."

"Yes already, Ais went inside first to see Zahra. Please come home because it will be dark soon. The night wind is not good for health."

Aisyah tidied up her gear and was about to move on, but she felt her steps were stifled. A moment Aisha stopped. He turned his body and observed his hand held by Bayu. Honestly, Aisyah felt unbearable with Bayu, the man looked at her with a look of compassion.

"Is there no more chance for me to fix everything Ice? Is the opportunity really gone? Can we not be together to build our home from scratch with our son, Zahra?" please Bayu.

Aisyah decided to go back to sitting on that rattan chair. Staring at the grip of Bayu's hand that increasingly tightened. It was just a matter of silence and listening to the Complaints that the man always threw. Why do regrets always come at the end? Opportunities do not always come twice.

Slowly, Aisyah let go of Bayu's hand, but Bayu insisted on keeping it. "Mas," call Ayesha signifying rejection.

"Why Ice? Don't you want to hold this hand anymore? Did you give up on leading me? Even if for Zahra's sake it can't be, Ais?" Bayu returned to Aisha.

Aisyah breaks eye contact with Bayu. He will lose control if he keeps looking into his eyes. The eyes that made him fall in love.

For a few minutes, Aisyah simply fell silent. He chose silence instead of explaining what he felt, because he was not sure if one word uttered from his mouth would not make his tears fall.

While Bayu can no longer hold back his crying water. The tears that he had endured finally shed violently. He wept over the fate of his marriage which had been on the verge of divorce and regret for what he had done so far.

...*************...

Last night, when Bayu got home, Ambar was surprised by Bayu's disheveled appearance and full of bruises. Ambar railed against Bayu with many questions.

This time, Ambar only went alone without Bayu's company, because seeing the condition of his son is still not possible. Going with her husband will also not solve the problem, it will add to the burden of Aisyah.

Ambar only wants to hear directly from Aisyah about her response to her divorce.

After arriving in front of Aisyah's house, Ambar did not go directly into the courtyard of the house. He looked at the woman who was playing with his daughter in front of the house. Women who sometimes laugh, then with a moment of contemplation. Until the question came to Ambar's mind, what was the woman thinking?

Ambar ventured into the page that is not too broad. Walk slowly and approach him. "Cm ...."

Aisyah who was pensive instantly gasped in shock when she heard someone call her. "Mother?"

Seeing Ambar standing in front of him, he immediately kissed Ambar's hand. "Sit down, Mom. Aisyah make you drink first, yes," Aisyah bargained.

"No need, son. Mom's just here for a minute. I miss my mother's grandchild" said Ambar with a smile. Not to forget he pinched the increasingly puffy cheeks of Zahra.

"Hello Grandma, Zahra also misses Grandma" said Aisyah while mimicking the voice of a child.

"Where's Zahra, Ais? Looks like she's gaining weight, huh?"

"Thank God be good, ma'am. Zahra was also a little chatty and began to snack like a baby." Aisyah answered Ambar's question with a small laugh.

"If you work, what about Zahra?"

"Zahra Aisyah put it here, ma'am. Every weekend Aisha would come home."

"Is Zahra not fussy? I mean, if you're the same Bayu, you don't have to bother leaving Zahra, son. You'll fully take care and know what Zahra's growth looks like."

Aisyah knew where Ambar was heading. "Alhamdulillah Zahra is not fussy Ma'am. He's a good kid and understands his parents' condition."

Ambar took his breath. The goal of coming here was to make Aisyah think back about her divorce. Think back to the negative and positive impact he will get after the divorce.

"Son, you must have known the purpose of mother coming here. So the question is, have you thought about the impact that you and others will have after this divorce?"

Like his response to Bayu, this time Aisyah also chose silence. He doesn't want to talk much. All he did was pinch Zahra's cheek.

Want Aisyah to spill all her complaints on women who she already considers like a real mother. However, he would not be able to hurt her if he heard what she said. Ambar is too good for him. Always defends him when others corner him.

"Mom doesn't know how badly Bayu hurt you, so you don't want to rethink the divorce. I just want to see you guys back the way you used to be. Maybe mom's demand is too high, huh? Forgive me and Bayu ya, son."

Aisyah's answer was still the same, she just kept quiet and smiled..

Grandma and Diana were just peeking out from behind the window. Didn't want to interfere much with Aisyah's decision.
