Afternoon.
Asyila sighed as she had just put the motor into the garage. That afternoon, he had just returned from the market to buy daily necessities and also for a cooking event with his best friend, Ema. Fortunately, the market where Asyila used to buy was open until the afternoon. No need to go early in the morning to shop.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Asyila when entering the house.
Asyila closed the door of the house and did not forget to lock it. Then, he hurried to step into the kitchen to arrange his groceries into the refrigerator.
Asyila arranged it seriously, the atmosphere inside the house was very quiet. And slowly made Ashila feel a deep loneliness.
“Yes Allah, now Arsyad and Ashraf again what's there?” asyila asked while imagining the faces of her two hearts.
The young woman looked so sad, she missed her baby's laughter so much. There are many memories that have been inscribed by both in the house.
“Azzam, Mommy also misses Azzam. Azzam there is good, baby, wait for us in heaven,” said Asyila who also misses her baby who is already in heaven.
After arranging the food ingredients, Ashila decided to rest for a while in the room while getting ready to welcome the arrival of her husband who is less than 1 hour will arrive.
“I better relax the body first and after that decorated to welcome the arrival of Mas Abraham,” said Asyila monologue while laying her body on the bed.
The young woman closed her eyes for a moment, until she fell asleep.
Otherside.
Abraham was still in the company. Apparently, there was a lot of work that he had to finish immediately. Not to mention some files that are still waiting to get a signature from him.
“Why haven't all these files left my desk yet?” abraham asked while massaging his dizzy head.
Yogi laughed at the complaints from his best friend.
“Yes, I know that you want to quickly go home to your beautiful wife. However, our work is not finished and must be completed today as well,” Yogi explained.
Abraham let out a heavy sigh while leaning his back on his chair.
“It looks like he came home late today,” said Abraham who looks resigned.
“Already, don't think too much. I'll be overtime with you too,” Yogi said.
“You sure you want to overtime? You better go home first. I'm fine here alone,” reply Abraham.
Yogi chuckles a little and returns to his chair to continue his unfinished work.
A few hours later.
“Alhamdulillah,” said Abraham when the work he handled was done.
Abraham turned to look at the clock that was perfectly circular in his hand, it turned out that time had shown at 22:15 WIB.
“Yes God, it's been very night. Is Syila asleep?”
Without a second thought, Abraham grabbed his work coat and ran away from his room.
Abraham ran small while carrying his work bag which is quite heavy.
“Goodnight, Mr Abraham!” greet the company guards.
Abraham returned the greeting and continued to run small towards the parking area.
“Goodnight, Young master Abraham!” eko's greeting looks so excited. Understandably, Eko is now very rare to bring his master.
“What did you just get to from earlier?” abraham asked, getting into the car.
“Of course from 8 o'clock, Young master Abraham,” reply Eko.
Abraham scrunched his forehead and immediately reached for his phone. Turns out his phone is dead, out of battery.
“It turns out my phone forgot to eat, then let's go. Syila must have been waiting for me.”
Eko gave a small nod and rushed towards Absyil's housing.
In the middle of the road to Absyil's house, suddenly there were two people fighting on the highway. Incidentally, the highway that was being passed by Eko and also Abraham was quite quiet.
“Why stop, Eko?” abraham asked his personal driver.
Abraham turned to confirm what Eko had said. When he saw the quarrel in the car, Abraham shook his head and decided to get out of the car.
“Sorry, if I may know what you two have problems?” ask Abraham.
“You do not interfere in our affairs,” insisted the man while pointing Abraham with his index finger.
Abraham, who did not like the treatment of men in front of him, immediately held the man's hand while giving a sharp look.
“If there is a family problem you should solve it well. If you need to call someone who can mediate between the two of you and please don't make a fuss on the highway like this, danger,” Abraham explained.
“Just blame my husband, Mas. He repeatedly cheated and did not support his wife and children. While the money he had was instead given to another woman,” the woman brightly while covered in tears.
Hearing this, Abraham's heart was immediately hot. Abraham hated men who cheated.
“Hey, You! Did you really have an affair?” abraham asked as he led the man to step aside so as not to hinder other riders who wanted to pass.
“You don't interfere, this is my business and none of your business!” his yell.
Abraham refrained from beating the man in front of him. Because, Abraham did not want to make his mood worse because he had to immediately meet his little wife who was waiting at home.
“Yes I know that it is your business. But hurting a woman is no small thing. What's the point of cheating? There you get sin and your life will constantly get in trouble. Try to think more clearly, think about the future of your family, especially your baby. Then, excuse me. Wassalamu'alaikum!”
“Wa’alaikumsalam,” reply the woman. The man looked dumb to hear what Abraham had just said.
Abraham got into the car and asked Eko to return on their way to Absyil's estate.
Abraham prayed in his heart that God might save their marriage. Because marriage is not an easy thing to let go of, especially because the problem is infidelity.
***
Absyil Housing.
Abraham got out of the car and rushed towards the door. The door was opened so that the wife could open the door for her.
After a few minutes, Ashila opened the door with a facial expression that Abraham never imagined.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Abraham while widening his smile towards the wife.
“Wa’alaikumsalam,” replied Asyila flat and kissed the back of her husband's hand. Then, bring her husband's briefcase into the room.
Asyila sauntered towards the room without saying a word except to return the greeting from Abraham.
Abraham knew that his little wife was crashing, how not? The promise to return home late in the afternoon could not be kept, not to mention with Abraham's cell phone that died so completely that his little wife could not contact him.
Arriving in the room, Ashila immediately opened the hijab she was wearing and changed her clothes with clothes that were slightly open. Then, he put his body back on the bed without saying a word and suddenly confused Abraham.
Abraham tried to approach his little wife, but Asyila remained silent
“Ngambek yes?” ask Abraham.
Questions Abraham should not have asked.
Asyila once again fell silent and turned her back to her husband, who tried to get his wife to speak.
“Iya, Mas salah,” said Abraham.
Asyila again did not say a word, her husband really worried her.
“Iya, Mas admitted wrong,” said Abraham who looked confused to see his little wife sulking.
Abraham sighed and decided to clean himself up. Asyila turned her lips and turned to her husband who was in the bathroom to clean up.
“Asyila was definitely crashing, Mas told Asyila to get home before 5. Not to mention the phone Mas can not be contacted,” scold Asyila and decided to go to bed immediately. Although, she was eager to express her frustration to her husband.
After a few minutes, Abraham finally came out of the bathroom with his body still half wet. The man turned his head towards his little wife who was still in a position to turn her back on him.
Syila is really cranky. I was really outrageous, should have charged my phone battery. 😭
In this case, I can't get rations.
