A Wife's Heart

CHAPTER 111

"Whoever reads the Quran and practices what it contains, then his parents will be crowned on the Day of Resurrection, whose light is brighter than the light of the sun if it were in your homes in this world. So what do you think of the person who practices it?". (CHR. Ahmad and Abu Dawud).

Happy reading.......🌹🌹🌹🌹

Morning's approaching. After breakfast in her room, Reza headed straight to the project site. After reviewing the location of his hospital project, Reza went straight to a place that had been determined by someone he would meet.

Reza arrived at the project site and was immediately greeted by a foreman assigned to supervise the workers.

"Good morning, sir." The foreman was polite.

"Good morning. What about the employees I recommended yesterday? Do they work well?"

"Thank God, they all work very well and diligently, sir. In fact, they also do not protest much if asked to replace the duties of workers who are sick." The foreman answered honestly.

"good. Keep your eyes on them. Don't forget, give them the same wages as the other workers."

The foreman's mouth was instantly gaping. He couldn't believe what he just heard. How can his boss pay workers who just work one day, with the salaries of workers who have worked long enough, from the beginning of the construction of the project until now?

"I mean, give them a day's wages. Because they have families to feed." Continue Reza, feeling understood to see the reaction of the foreman.

"Good, sir." Answer it by disturbing understanding.

"That just makes sense. But, it turns out that Mr. Reza is good too. Different from the news out there." His inner.

A lot of bad news circulating among the public, about a Reza. Many consider Reza to be the arrogant and cruel type. But that was before Reza realized the fatal mistake he had done to his wife first.

Reza toured the project to see the process of working on the family-owned hospital which is almost complete and is expected to be inaugurated next week. Reza can't wait for that day to come. The reason, on the same day as the inauguration of the hospital, Reza will also give a sweet surprise to his beloved wife.

About two hours Reza was at the project site. Reza looked at the clock that was coiled around his wrist, it turned out that time had shown at ten in the morning. Reza immediately said goodbye to his workers to go to an area, where he would meet someone he had been in contact with three days ago.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Reza arrived at the area of the person he was referring to around two in the afternoon. Previously, Reza took a break to perform dhuhur prayers in the mosque and then had lunch. Then, he resumed his long journey. About three hours away, Reza arrived in front of a pretty luxurious house with green paint tosca. The house without the fence, looks beautiful and well maintained.

Reza got out of his car and headed straight for the house. Reza knocked on the door of the house quite loudly while saying his greetings. Before long, a female voice answered her greeting while opening the door. The woman looked young and beautiful with a long hijab covering half her tiny body.

"Please come in, Aa." Politely said.

"Thank you."

Reza entered the house and sat in a large living room. Inside the house, there was not only a woman with that beautiful face. His whole family also gathered there. In front of the woman's entire family, Reza immediately expressed his wish. The woman and her family nodded in agreement with a happy smile on their faces.

"Yes, Aa. I accept."

"Thank you very much." Reply Reza with a sigh of relief. The struggle was not in vain.

The Martin House.....

Lira was accompanying her daughter to take a nap in her room, after teaching her daughter to teach and memorize short suras. Lira patted her daughter's butt gently while chanting sholawat prophet. The custom of the Lira when going to put her daughter to sleep is to chant the holy verse of the Qur'an or to recite the prophet. That way, Inas will fall asleep faster.

Seeing that her daughter was already asleep, Lira went straight down from her bed, to the balcony to contact her husband who had not told her since morning. Lira's heart was troubled thinking about her husband. It's not usually Reza like this.

Lira called Reza until the third call, but there was no answer from across the street. The lira became increasingly agitated. Lira wants to contact Jono, but unfortunately Lira has no contact.

"Where else, anyway? No, no Lira yet." Murmured Lira worried.

Lira felt very unsettled, before she got word from her husband. He also could not sleep peacefully. Lira kept staring at her phone screen, hoping for a message to come in from her husband.

Suddenly there was the sound of Inas crying from inside the room. Lira immediately approached her daughter who was crying loudly on the bed.

"Honey, mommy's here. Come on, get some sleep. Mother temenin."

Inas began to fall asleep again in his mother's warm embrace. Lira stroked her daughter's long hair affectionately while looking fixedly at her daughter's tiny face. Lira again remembered Reza who had not bought the news until now. Feeling sleepy, Lira follows her daughter to dreamland. She hoped that when she woke up from her sleep, she had good news from her husband.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Reza said goodbye to the woman and her entire family. Reza continued on his way to his in-laws' residence to give him a surprise. About ten minutes later, they arrived in front of an alley leading to his father-in-law's house.

Reza passed by some neighbors who were gathered in front of the mosque and Reza greeted the neighbors kindly. Then Reza continued his steps up the path that led to his father-in-law's house.

Reza saw the grocery store owned by her in-laws was quite crowded buyers. Employees also seem overwhelmed to serve their requests. Reza thanked him for his efforts to build a grocery store for his in-laws to bear fruit.

Reza pressed the bell next to the door, repeatedly. Beautiful who intends to rest was immediately rose from his bed and headed to the living room to open the door. Beautiful eyes instantly perfectly rounded, seeing that her daughter-in-law had been standing in front of her.

"Assalamu'alaikum, mother." Sapa Reza kissed the back of Indah's hand politely and then gave souvenirs typical of Bandung on Indah.

"Wa'alaikumussalam Warahmatullah's. Well, thank you. Son Reza, come here yourself?"

"Yes, mom. It just so happened that Reza had a job in Bandung, so Reza all stopped by mother Tengokin here."

"Either. Yes, mom. Thank God they are well. Lira is healthy, ma'am."

"Alhamdulillah, the mother shunned him. Oya, has Reza eaten yet?"

"Udah, mom. On the way here, Reza stopped by for a meal at the restaurant."

"Oh. But if later Nak Reza feels hungry, do not hesitate to ask mother, yes."

Reza nodded with a smile. Then Reza called Jono asking for help to bring his suitcase into the house. Reza also asks Jono to rest in the guest room.

Reza said goodbye to Indah to rest in the room while lifting her suitcase. Indah also heads to her room to continue her delayed nap as it welcomes the arrival of her daughter-in-law. Jono did the same. He went to the guest room to rest.

Reza entered his wife's room which looked clean and tidy. Almost every day, Beautiful clean the princess room just so that Lira feels comfortable when returning home later. Reza laid his tired body on the soft mattress in his wife's room. Reza's body was crumbling, due to a long journey. Reza grabbed his phone to call his wife. Reza sighed softly when he saw his phone was dead because it ran out of power.

"Huuff...Surely now Lira is worried because from morning, I didn't know her. Sorry dear, I forgot to buy." Reza muttered slowly and then charged on his phone.

Before the break, Reza decided to head to the bathroom to clean up.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

By nightfall, after performing prayers at the mosque, Reza, Indah, Jono, and the two adopted sisters of Lira, were enjoying dinner together. There was no conversation between them. All that is heard is the sound of the clinking of spoons and forks that are mutual.

After dinner was over, Reza and Indah sat in the living room to chat for a while.

"Son Reza, didn't tell Lira if she wanted to come here?"

"Sir, ma. If Reza says, then he'll be craving again because he's not invited." Reza replied with an amused chuckle remembering the adorable face of his wife.

"Everywhere, yeah. Especially now that the content is getting bigger. It's not good that he has to go far."

"Eh, sorry ma'am. Bentar yes. Lira video calls." Reza said politely and then received a video call from his wife.

"Hello. Assalamu'alaikum, dear." Sapa Reza's.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Mas, where the hell, anyway? Phone-phone lira, why not pick up, keep inactive? Lira's worried about knowing, don't you!?" Tanya Lira half nagged.

"Sorry, sweetheart. Mobiles mas Out of power, continue also mas there is important business.so, I forgot to make ngabarin to dear. Sorry yes." Obviously Reza with a face full of regret for making his wife worried.

"Yes, mas. But next time, don't do it again."

"Yes, honey. Hmmm, what's the big brother doing? Then, the cuttings in the stomach as well how are you? Is it not the same papa?" Ask Reza.

"Alhamdulillah, the baby's grandpa is healthy. If the brother, again the short surahs there." Appoint the Lira to her daughter who is focused on listening to the short suras of priests who make sweet voices through television.

Reza felt moved and proud of his daughter who was getting more and more active in memorizing the Qur'an. In fact, his age is still very small but Inas is very eager to learn to teach and memorize the Qur'an. Sometimes if Lira forgets to teach Inas, then Inas will remind her. Once, Inas cried all day because Lira and Reza forgot to listen to him murotal before going to bed. Eventually, they became more frequent listeners to Inas as a sleep rep.

"God's Masya. Add a pinter a son papa." Praise Reza with a proud face.

"Mas, where else? Kok, it feels like Lira is no stranger to the same sofa that is sitting down." Ask Lira curiously.

"Come, guess what, where is it now?"

"Mas, Lira's serious." Say Lira pouting.

Reza laughed loudly at the face of his wife. "Haha..Honey, his face is normal dong."

"Finally, I went to Lira."

"You know, now baby talk to someone who is really upset to love."

"Who, mas?" Asked Lira with a confused face.

Reza did not answer. He actually gave his phone to Indah in order to chat freely. He deliberately gave space to his wife and in-laws to let each other miss. Although Lira often contacted her mother, but still she they still feel homesick for each other.

When Indah showed her face to the screen, Lira immediately screamed in joy until Inas also screamed in surprise. But after that, Inas refocused on his original activities.

"Moeuuu. Neng misses mom." Spoiled Lira.

Reza and Indah just shook their heads looking at the spoiled manner of Lira.

"Yes my. Neng Istighfar, don't shout. Later on in the stomach also shocked by the sound of neng." Beautiful soft Tegus.

Lira just crybaby then immediately beristighfar, after getting a reprimand from his mother.

"Hehe. Sorry about yes, ma'am. Neng khilaf's.

Then they began chatting about many things, including discussing the progress of Inas who was increasingly proud. Lovely to be happy to sting his grandson is already good at memorizing the Qur'an. Meanwhile, Reza only became a loyal listener while occasionally laughing when he heard his wife laughing happily.
