Heart For Aisyah

Heart For Aisyah
Meet with Mba Ijah


Today Byan decided not to work first, he will work from home only and the effects of last night's sagging made him feel aching in his body. Although his body was in pain, Byan did not want to neglect his work. Moreover, many workers who depend on it and certainly Byan do not want to be negligent, even though he did not go into the office.


Byan is currently in the room while doing some work sent by Erick via email and fortunately the two heroes are not in the room, so that makes it a little more focused and certainly not bothered by Afkar who always attached to him.


Aisyah came carrying the melon juice and placed it on the table, then sat down next to Byan.


"Sister, here I make juice for brother."


"Yes, honey. Thank you" said Byan without taking his eyes off the laptop screen.


"Whose kids are the same?" Ask Byan who stopped his work for a while just to drink melon juice made by his beloved wife.


"Same sister and aunt Nuri."


"Oh...." Byan replied, nodding his head. Then Byan continued his work, until it did not feel time was almost noon. Byan gave up his job and stepped out looking for his son and wife.


Byan is now joined by Afkar who is playing and Aisyah who is breastfeeding baby Zero.


"Is it still a pegel, brother?" Ask Aisyah.


"Lumayan."


"If it still feels sore. I'll have Mang Asep find a masseuse."


"May, but it's night."


Aisyah nodded, then Aisyah lifted baby Zero's body to her shoulder and patted baby Zero's back, so baby Zero burped.


"Darling, come with me later. I want to see the mothers I helped last night. Poor mother, she lives alone and has no family" said Byan who felt compassion for the mother he helped last night.


"Yes" answered Aisha.


As Byan said, that day they went to the house of the mother whom Byan had helped. Approximately one hour Byan and Aisyah arrived at the address of the mother.


To get to the mother's house, Byan and Aisyah had to walk through small alleys and when she got home, Aisyah and Byan knocked on the door. Not long after the door opened and showed the mother.


Aisyah knitted her eyebrows together when she met her mother and remembered her face.


'Seems like I've seen it, but where is it? and the mother's face was no stranger to me, but I forgot.' Batin Aisha.


Aisyah tried to remember the mother who stood in front of her.


"Eh! Byan. Come in" said the mother, who let her in.


"Let's go in, baby" asked Byan, then Aisyah immediately entered the mother's house.


Aisyah spread her eyes looking at every corner of the mother's house. Simple house and walled off the board. Then Aisyah's gaze fell upon a photo hanging on the wooden wall. Photos of two young children whose pictures are outdated.


Curious, Aisyah approached the picture frame to make it clearer to see the photo.


"That's a photo-." While pointing at his picture.


"That's a picture of my former employer's son, neng." The mother answered him immediately. Aisyah then shifted her gaze from the photo to the mother's face.


Aisyah's gaze was so fixed looking at the mother and a second later Aisyah shed her tears. Aisyah had remembered now, who was the mother standing in front of her.


Aisyah then scattered herself to hug the mother and this made the mother or Byan become confused, seeing Aisyah who suddenly hugged the mother.


"Gba Ijah...." Lirih Aisyah, while crying. Yep... The mother is Mba Ijah, who used to take care of her when she was a child and lived with the late father Adam.


The one called Mba Ijah just fell silent, while remembering the person who was hugging him.


"Mba Ijah still remembers Ice?"


"Dis?"  The only one who is often called Ais is the son of her former employer who has died.


"Yes, Ayesha Ayumna Putri. Do you remember that name?" Said Aisyah, then Mba Ijah nodded slowly.


"Mh... It's me Ais...."


"Non Ice?" Mba Ijah raised his hand and touched Aisyah's face and her two eyeballs were glazed over. Ais, her little miss who used to cry a lot after the departure of Mr. Adam. Her little miss who used to be separated from her birth mother, but now her little miss has grown up and become more beautiful.


"This is real, Non-Ais?" Mba Ijah still does not believe he can meet again with Aisyah.


"Oh my God, Non Ice...." Mba Ijah sobbed and hugged Aisyah again.


***


Aisyah and Byan have now sat down after giving up on each other with Mba Ijah. Mba Ijah did not want to tell about his life after stopping working from the house of the late father Adam. But in Aisha's heart, it still stuck about the life of Mba Ijah.


Mba Ijah came from the kitchen and served drinks to Aisyah and Byan.


"Sorry, it's just drinking water that Mba presents." Putting the glass on the table.


"Thank you, ma'am," said Byan.


"Mba, sit here," said Aisyah.


Mba Ijah complied and sat next to him. Then Aisyah pulled the hand of Mba Ijah who now looks old.


"Mba, Ais doesn't know what happened to Mba's life after she stopped working at Adam's papa's house. But Ais wants Mba to come with Ais and stay with Ais," Pinta Aisyah.


"But Non, Mba is old and often sick."


"It's okay. Don't think about it, as long as Mba Ijah will stay with us," said Aisyah a little pushy.


Mba Ijah was silent and confused. Actually in the depths of his heart Mba Ijah wanted to join work with Aisyah, but remembering her who was often sick made him a dilemma.


"Mom, you better come with us. About the mother often sickly, I will help the mother to seek treatment. Let's just say that we are mother's children" said Byan.


"alright... I'm coming along." Mba Ijah replied with a bit of hesitation. Then Aisyah embraced Mba Ijah.


Aisyah now smiled widely and that day Aisyah invited Mba Ijah to stay with her.


Arriving at home, Mba Ijah was immediately invited in. Aisyah also called Marshall to come to her house.


"Know Mba, this is Ais's first child and the other one is sleeping." Aisyah introduced Afkar, after which Mba Ijah was introduced to her aunt Nuri and nanny Afkar. Byan returned to his room to continue his work.


Not long after Marshall came with his little girl.


"Afkawall...!!" Shouted Shania who ran up to Afkar who was watching a cartoon of the twins who had no hair .


Marshall sat down with Shania and Afkar, stroking Afkar's head.


"Dude...." Call Aisyah who just got off the stairs while holding baby Zero.


"What's? Did you tell my brother to come here to do what?" Ask Marshall.


"Deply wait here." Aisyah then stepped into Mba Ijah's room and invited him to come with her to the front.


"Bao... Remember him?" Aisyah pointed towards Mba Ijah.


Marshall looked up at the man who used to work with his family.


"Mr...." Marshall forgot his name, but his face didn't forget.


"Mba Ijah, den," continued Mba Ijah with a smile.


"ah! Yes, Mba Ijah! I just remembered his name. How's Mba." Marshall immediately approached Mba Ijah and shook hands with him.


"Alhamdulillah, good Mba," replied Mba Ijah with a smile that continued to be imprinted on his lips.


"Oh my goodness, Mba Ijah! It's been a long time since we've met." Said Marshall, who did not expect to meet again with Mba Ijah.


Suddenly Marshall remembered his childhood with his family. Especially to father Adam and his mother who was calm in heaven.


Marshall now misses his parents and promises in his heart that tomorrow he will come to visit the grave of Adam's father and his parents.


"Most certainly the late Mr. Adam is very happy to see you have grown up and have children. " Say Mba Ijah, remembering father Adam.


"May .. . I miss papa." Aisyah turned moody and remembered the papa she loved so much. Papa is a hero in his life. Papa was his first love.


"Then tomorrow we make a pilgrimage to papa's tomb and it feels like we have not been on a pilgrimage to papa's tomb for a long time" Marshall said.


Hoping to come to the tomb of Papa Adam, his longing is slightly reduced.
