ABI'S HUSBAND OF CHOICE

IMM 21'S

Aida helps Aisyah cook for their dinner. As per the agreement between Husein and Aida, they decided to stay in the house for two days. Fortunately, Husein had a one-week leave, but Husein only gave Aida time with her parents for two days. While the rest of the day he will choose to spend time with Sinta, his lover. Honestly, Aida was quite disappointed with the decision made by Husein. Though himself Husein's wife who automatically should be prioritized than others.

It's okay, Aida is grateful that Husein wants to give her time with her parents for two days. It was a precious time for Aida. A very passionate longing because it has been very long not face to face.

"How is your relationship with Husein, Ai?" Aisyah looked at her daughter who was cutting red onions.

"Alhmadulillah is good Ummi," Aida replied imposing a thin smile on her lips. It felt unable to lie to the woman who had given birth to him, but Aida had no other choice. This was all just to preserve the honor of her husband.

"Alhamdulillah Ai, Ummi just wish you happiness in your marriage. Ummi does not want you to feel sadness in the household that you live Nak," Aisyah smiled back at her daughter's words.

If her daughter was happy Aisyah would definitely be happy. There was nothing happier for Aisyah if her daughter was good at domestic relations.

"Husein treats you well, doesn't he? He doesn't hurt you one bit, does he, son?"

"Alhamdulillah Mas Husein both Ummi, even Mas Husein is very considerate of me. No need to worry, I'm fine. My household is also very good Ummi," Again Aida blurted out lies to cover up her husband's mistakes. Want to feel Aida honest, but he remembered again with the teachings instilled by Aisyah and Hasan. Aib husband is a wife's disgrace as well, so whatever the problem may be do not let others know. Both parties are aware of this right.

"Thank God if Hussein treats you as queen in your household, son. Ummi is only worried if you are not treated well because you are in a match. Apalagis many couples are married but his wife was abandoned because she chose the woman of his heart. Ummi's just afraid it's happening to you, son, too,"

Aida stopped the movement of her hand that was cutting onions. His words are very true. She was abandoned by her own husband. She was never considered a wife by her husband. He was just an extension that was placed at home without being touched at all. It felt like Aida wanted to scream and say what was going on in her household. A household that cannot be said is fine, a household that is on the verge of collapse. Sometimes there is a desire to separate which is terbesit in Aida for the treatment of her husband.

Half a year married but never once she touched her husband. Even to say hello to her husband never. Starting the conversation was Aida who first otherwise her husband will remain silent like a statue.

"Why did it stop? What are you thinking, son?" Aisha approached her daughter. Holding that small shoulder with her soft palm.

"Ahhh it's okay Ummi, I'm fine. I only think about the cat that is in the house" Aida replied.

"Kirain Ummi you think of Ummi, Ai."

"It's all right, son, gih mengahin cut the nuts,"

Husein and Hasan were sitting in the back garden. With a cup of hot tea. Their discussion did not escape the name of business. Even Husein seemed enthusiastic to hear his father-in-law's explanation to win a project. But never in a way that is not allowed or money earned even money that is not lawful because of cheating.

"Now what is your relationship with Aida, Sein? It's okay, isn't it?" Husein was silent at the words of his father-in-law. His tongue felt strange because he did not know what to answer.

"Where's Sein? It's okay, isn't it?" Hassan repeated when he saw his daughter-in-law who was only silent with her mouth shut.

"Emm, yes Abi our relationship is fine anyway," Husein displayed an awkward smile to her father-in-law. It is impossible if he will be honest how he treated Aida. There's no way Husein would have said that Aida was just a statue to her. There will be even a long problem not to mention if it reaches his parents. Can-can himself be removed from the inheritance and also one office. To imagine life as a vagabond Husein never wanted to. Especially if it comes true, Husein could die in the middle of the road due to hunger.

"Alhamdulillah Sein, Abi glad to hear your words. Abi would never want if Abi's daughter was hurt by others, even her own husband. Abi is not willing if someone hurts the daughter who Abi painstakingly raised with love and affection. Abi will never be willing if tears just come down because of a mistake you made to Aida, Sein. Abi would never have imagined it if it had happened. Aida is like a bungan for Ummi and Abi. Even Abi and Ummi are very caring for Aida from childhood. Aida is the greatest happiness in Abi and Ummi's household. Aida is the greatest gift that Allah bestowed after 5 years of marriage of Ummi and Abi. Aida is the symbol of the happiness Abi feels. Aida is a little girl who is very dear to Abi and Ummi," said Hasan made Husein just speechless.

Husein's mind wandered, what if Hasan knew of his treatment of Aida. Will there be an apology for her? Is Hasan going to take Aida away from her side?

"Abi won't if you hurt Abi's daughter, if indeed one day you do not want her song Abi hopes you return Aida to Abi in a good way just as Abi gave herself well Sein." Why did those words come out so smoothly from Hasan's mouth. It was as if what he said was the truth that was happening within the princess' household even though she didn't know it either.

"Hmm, Abi don't worry about my marriage with Aida going well. During the marriage our household was also fine Bi. I wouldn't have possibly dared to hurt Aida, Bi let alone hear she's Abi's beloved daughter," Lies!!! Husein told lies to take care of himself. Husein would not be able to tell the behavior of himself that is not worthy of being called a husband.

Although married for half a year did not make Husein fall in love with his wife. But it still feels like the beginning. Outlandish. The woman was still so foreign to him. Although living on the same roof did not make Husein glance at his wife. Moreover, his eyes are sometimes lazy to look at his wife, because his oversized clothes do not show curves on the body that is somehow like. The whole body is covered leaving only hands and face. There's nothing Husein can see but that.
