"Alhamdulillah Sein, Abi just ask you never to disappoint Abi. Don't ever make Abi see you as unfit to be husband to daughter, Abi. Abi knows if the marriage between you and Aida is forced, however, you should know that the marriage happened because indeed you two are destined to mate. You are forced to marry a daughter, Abi is the same as Aida who was also forced to accept this marriage. The point is that you two are both forced. But rest assured, son, if behind it all a lot of wisdom that you can someday pick."
Husein was silent again hearing his father-in-law's words. What Hasan said was true, they were both forced to marry. However, he who does not consider Aida his wife does not even treat Aida as a wife. Unlike the girl who carries out her duties as a wife well.
Dinner time is finally over. Now the four of them are in the living room while enjoying the night by watching television.
Sometimes Aisyah stared alternately at her daughter and at the daughter-in-law who was sitting not close together. It was as if there was a distance between the two. Aisyah who is a mother has a hunch that the marriage between her daughter and Hussein is not okay. Moreover, seeing the sad face of his son every time they discussed Hussein. Although the face was smiling Aisyah could see where the smile was happy and where the smile was just forced.
It was very desirable that Aisyah spoke to Husein but, now was not the right time. Especially here there is Aida and also her husband.
\*\*\*\*
"Sine, can we talk to you for a second?" Asiyah approached her daughter-in-law who was sitting alone in the living room.
"Well Ummi, where do you want to talk? Here or somewhere else?" Husein looked at her mother-in-law with some confusion.
"In the back garden only Sein. Let's have a nice talk, too,"
Now Aisyah and Husein are sitting on separate benches in the back garden. "Is your marriage okay with Aida, Sein? Not Ummi to interfere in household affairs the next time, no!! It's just that Ummi can see the absence of happiness that emanates from Aida's face, son," said Aisyah thu the point.
It....!!!!
Husein's heart immediately went crazy when he heard his mother-in-law's words. Not if Aisha would ask him that.
"Ummi just wants Ummi's daughter to be happily married to you, son. There will be no mother who will want her child to be miserable in her marriage, son. So please make princess Ummi happy in your marriage. But, if you can't be happy, give Aida back to Ummi and Abi, son. We won't be angry if you bring Aida back here, we understand that you're only forcibly married." Aisyah's tears came out without being prevented. Can't bear if what is now in mind happens in the household of the princess. There is a sense of regret in Aisyah if only bad things happen forced marriage of her daughter.
"Sorry Ummi, thank God my marriage and Aida are fine Ummi. We had no problems in our marriage, "Husein lied forcefully displaying his sweet smile.
Aisyah showed her sweet smile. He knew very well if Husein was lying because it was clear from the look of the man's face that changed. However, Aisyah chose not to extend her son's household problems which clearly had no room in there. "Well son, if that's what's happening in your household and Aida's. Ummi is happy, son, but Ummi hopes you are happy always and there is no disappointment that you give to Ummi, Abi and also your two parents later, son,"
Again Husein was silent because of the words of his mother-in-law. At this time Husein's mind was at war thinking if only his mother knew how the household herself and Aida what would her mother do? Ahhh, it's possible that the parents would understand if they were married by force. But the thought was lost because it was imagined his relationship with Sinta. If Fatimah knew for sure she would be a tramp forever. Is Husein willing? Answer's no. Will Sinta still survive with her already poor self? Answer it also no. Because the woman's lifestyle is glamorous and will never want to live poor with her.
"Yes Ummi, I and Aida will not disappoint you all" Husein replied briefly. He didn't know what to say to his mother-in-law.
"Yes difficult Ummi entered first." said Aisyah who left Husein alone with a mind that no matter what the content.
For a long time Husein finally realized if he was only alone there. No longer was her mother-in-law sitting in front of her staring at her with a look that Husein could not guess.
"Aargghht!!" Husein brushed his hair into a mess.
Now there is a fear felt by Husein, fearing that his Mother knew she had betrayed a sacred relationship that she had lived for 6 months. Moreover, in a few months his parents will return to the homeland for good. Makes Husein more frustrated and dizzy.
Notah taken where later his relationship with Sinta, he really can not think clearly for now. Husein chose to go into her room with Aida during her stay at her in-laws' house.
Aida was sitting with her neighbors on the porch. Enjoy a glass of orange juice and cookies served by Aida.
"Mbak how are you? We have not met and communicated. About 3 months ago exactly where did I disappear huh Ma'am?" Nia, a neighbor who often chatted with Aida about the main religious issues. Because all this time they never lead to sin when talking, at most yes about religion.
"As you can see Nia, thank God you are healthy" Aida replied with a small smile. "Yes you were right Nia, about 3 months ago we ended communicating after it was no more. Even this is our talk after 3 months have passed." replied Aida with a small ruckus in her mouth.
"Hahaha yes Ma'am, did not expect me if we hold no communication for 3 months. Though in the past when I still have HP surely we will often chat."
"Yes Nia, Mbak so miss the moments we chat with Mbak who gives a lot of knowledge that Mbak has for you,"
"Yes, really big mama. I miss it too" she replied, staring Aida at a glance before sipping the orange juice in front of her. "Bak I want something?" Nia put down her glass of juice still half left.
"Can you ask what Nia is? If Mbak knew in shaa Allah would surely Mbak replied,"
Nia nodded. "Thank you, Ma'am,"
"Yes Nia, same. What do you want Nia?" Aida looked at the curious girl who was 2 years below her.
