20 Years Adrift
Chapter 44. Go Somewhere

Affan was unceasingly grateful for all the favors he got. After being a widower for eighteen years, he finally returned to enjoy the beauty of the household.

At first she thought that Roland had taken Aira's upbringing and turned out to be her first. Affan was speechless and almost cried from happiness.

From that night on, she promises to look after Aira with her life and make her as happy as she can.

Amidst the happiness felt by Affan was dulled worry and fear of loss. Kayra's death still looms in her memory.

However, Affan tries to think positively and leaves everything to God. If Aira was destined to become pregnant, she would pay attention to her and take good care of her.

That night, Aira sleeps in Affan's arms like normal nights but with an unusual feeling.

"Thank you, Aira. Don't ever leave me. With bismillah I proposed to you even though there was no love between us at that time. Tonight with bismillah I love you and will take care of it until the end of my life." Affan spoke in the middle of his hunting breath.

"Alhamdulillah. I'm grateful to have a loving and loving husband like you, Mas. Thank you for taking care of me and loving me with sincerity." Aira tightened her embrace.

Affan peeked at the top of his head and returned Aira's embrace without saying much more. Both of them were asleep in a happy feeling.

Morning, the morning,

Faya did not see her father and mother, who were usually at the dinner table before she got out of her room.

"Bi, the same father mama kog tumben has not come down, huh? I want to know how Mom is after the kidnapping." Faya looked towards the door of Affan's room that was still closed.

"Since his return last night, the master and mistress have not come out, Non," Bi Sumi replied.

"Yes, Bi. Let them rest." Faya finally chooses to take her breakfast and prepares to go to school.

Although very curious about Aira's circumstances, but he wanted to be a good boy and not bother him. Guilt so disturbed his mind, he considered himself the cause of the abduction.

Faya only had a little breakfast and asked Bi Sumi to bring him some provisions.

As he prepared to depart his father emerged from his room alone in his daily clothes.

Faya's forehead wrinkled as she looked at her father's appearance. However, it is not the time to protest or tease him.

"Assalamualaikum, Dad. How's mama doing?" ask Faya while shaking Affan's hand.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Aira was fine and was resting. I will accompany him today. Maybe he's a little traumatized."

Faya nodded and said goodbye to go to school. She was grateful when she found out that her mother was doing well.

Affan asks Bi Sumi to prepare breakfast for himself and Aira to take to the room. Although Aira did not experience any apprehensive conditions, Affan treated her well after serving her.

Of course he was very tired of having a husband and wife relationship for the first time after almost three months of marriage.

"Mas Affan why bother bringing breakfast. Shouldn't we just have breakfast in the dining room?" tanya Aira got up from her seat and helped Affan arrange the food on the table.

"I don't want you out of the room as long as I'm home." Affan looked at Aira with a different gaze than usual.

Aira did not ask any more and chose to hide her flushed face.

"Today we have to go to the police station to give a statement. After that ...." Affan stopped his speech which made Aira curious and looked at him. "I'll take you somewhere."

Much the same. Affan did not tell her where he would take Aira to go.

The kidnappers who brought Aira were captured, as well as Roland. However, Roland was detained in a different place because he stumbled on an immigration case and was threatened with deportation.

Affan also didn't want to if they were in one place with Roland. Aira revealed what she had experienced to the police as legal consideration for Roland and his accomplice.

After finishing with the business at the police station. Affan takes his car to the promised spot on Aira.

Aira several times asked Affan where they were going, but Affan did not want to tell her.

The journey far enough to make Aira feel sleepy. Affan asks her to go to sleep and will wake her up when they arrive.

At Amanda's, by the way,

Amanda didn't go to the office today either. She's having headaches and nausea.

"Bi ... It's Asih!" call Amanda from her room.

With great difficulty Amanda walked towards the door and stood staggering.

"Yes, No." Bi Asih seemed to run a little towards Amanda.

"Please make me a warm drink! Uh, call Dr. Diana was just making herbal tea." Amanda closed her mouth again and endured the nausea.

"What pain?" tanya Bi Asih was worried.

Amanda could no longer answer it and quickly walked to the sink. It was only his hand that coded Bi Asih to immediately do as he asked.
