I'm Not Your Surga's Angel
62. Returnees

8 Years Later, the,,

Six years passed. The lives of Mina and Athar are not much different than they used to be. Both have not had a child. Athar always treated Mina well even though the two had no children.

That morning the atmosphere of the orphanage was already much different from six years ago. The children who were there changed as time went on. Those who have graduated from High School are traveling and replaced with children who need a place to stay.

The children kissed Mina and Athar's hands before they left for school. That is what makes the day of Athar and Mina more colorful even though both have not been blessed with children.

"I am proud to see the spirit of the children of this home in demanding knowledge, hopefully their future is bright yes," said Mina turned to her husband who was sending children to school.

"Hey dear.this is our child, so never grieve again even though God has not given us offspring," Athar replied with a smile on Mina.

All the children at the school have left. Now Mina and Athar live at the gate of the orphanage.

"Honey.Aisha will soon arrive, we must welcome her, you miss Aisha right," said Athar, now Aisha will soon arrive at the orphanage. He has graduated from college at a UIN that is quite far away.

8 Years Aisha went to study, so Mina missed her so much. This morning Mina was very excited to wait for the arrival of Aisha.

"Yes mas.i miss Aisha, may Allah protect her on the way yes," Mina told her husband.

"Aamiin.."

A taxi stopped in front of the orphanage. Mina excitedly approached forward. Slowly the taxi door opened. Look at the figure of a beautiful girl in a ash veil. She is Aisha, now she has grown into a mature girl who has a beautiful gaze and good manners.

"Umi.." cried Aisha as soon as she saw Mina. He ran into Mina's arms.

"Finally you came home also Aisha.So we hardly recognize you, now you are beautiful like an angel," said Mina in Aisha's arms.

"Umi also remains beautiful as before, and remains the most beautiful woman Aisha meets," said Aisha who still hugs Mina's body tightly.

All the caretakers who were there also welcomed Aisha's arrival. Athar just stood there staring at Mina and Aisha who missed. He was happy to see his wife happy.

After the reception, Mina and Athar chat with Aisha in the orphanage garden. Both miss each other. "Where is the news about Abi, umi and Abi are healthy right." asked Aisha who was sitting next to Mina. Athar was in front of him.

"Alhamdulillah our news is always good Aisha, how.pastu it feels good after you graduated S1 with good grades," said Athar to Aisha.

"Yes Alhamdulillah Aisha relieved bi, after all this is all thanks to umi and Abi, so I can get a college scholarship, thank you, I do not know anymore how to reply all that," said Aisha, she is deeply indebted to Athar and Mina who always give her the best.

"Just like Aisha, you don't have to pay anything back" Athar replied.

"Yes Aisha, we are proud of you, son, you are now a useful person, so what are your plans now?" ask Mina

"Aisha wants to find an umi job, but while Aisha is going to teach at an Aliyah Madrasah near here, yesterday Aisha's friend called and invited Aisha to join the school, Aisha thought there was nothing wrong with Aisha accepting the job before getting a better job," Aisha looked at Mina.

"Yes kiddo.umi will support whatever your decision is," Mina said with a smile looking at Aisha.

"No need Umi, Aisha is very happy to serve in this orphanage, it's time for aisha to help her sister here" Aisha said gently.

"Yes, then we say yes son, assalamualaikum" Athar said staring at Aisha who was standing there.

"Goddessalam.."

In car.

Athar and Mina chat about Aisha. Both of them are really proud to see Aisha grow well.

"Aisha is very beautiful, yes, she is good, Solehah.and Now that she has graduated S1, it feels like she just put on her Junior High uniform when I went to school first, uh, now I'm a good grown girl" said Mina

"Yes dear.I'm also proud of Aisha, '" Athar replied.

The next day, the,

While Athar was away at work, Mina met her father and mother at her in-law's house. Now he can drive his own car. She had permission on her husband first because there was an important item belonging to Mina that was left behind at Athar's parents' house.

In front of the house.

Mina walks into the house, but she is stopped at the door when she hears Athar's father and mother arguing.

"Dad, mother is actually concerned about Athar, Athar's marriage is 8 years old, but unfortunately we have not been blessed with grandchildren, the mother's age is getting older, wrinkles on the face begin to appear, and unfortunately we have not been blessed with grandchildren, but not yet fond of grandchildren," said the mother to the father in the house. They didn't realize that Mina was watching that.

"How else Bun, surely we all want grandchildren, but this will be God's will, we are patient, let us not hurt Mina with our words," said Father staring at Mother.

"Would Athar remarry well, so that we can take a grandchild,"

"Don't say that again Bun, Athar has reminded us many times not to say that,"

"But dad..

"Don't complain anymore, mother, still thank God gives us the pleasure of health until now, so don't demand much more,"

Mina heard it all. His heart was like a prick hearing those bitter words. It turns out that all this time everyone tried to keep his feelings without thinking about their own feelings that already missed someone's grandchild.

Mina's tears began to drip, she wiped the tears on her cheeks while walking backwards. He did not go in and decided to go home.

"Oh Allah, forgive me for being too selfish, I did not expect that Athar would really take care of my feelings, until he reminded his parents not to offend me," mina was crying as she drove the car.

Mina feels guilty for everyone she cares about. On the other hand he was moved by the magnitude of Athar's love for him. Until now Athar has never hurt his heart with any words let alone about heredity.
