Anissa's Promise

Malu

the voice of the azan has been echoed in the great mosque of the pesantren. The newly married couple were still asleep hugging each other under the covers. Ibra opened her eyes after hearing the sound of the azan. His eyes immediately looked at Anisa who was still sleeping in his arms, Ibra sure that his wife was feeling tired and needed more rest after last night he did not let her sleep until midnight. Ibra smiled and kissed Anisa.

"I'm sorry I hurt you last night. Thank you for all this time you have kept your chastity only for your husband" said Ibra.

Ibra took a towel and went to the bathroom to clean herself. After finishing cleaning herself, Ibra came out of the bathroom, she saw Anisa was sitting grimacing on the bed. Ibra slowly approached her and sat down before Anisa.

" hurt?" ask Ibra. Anisa's face was flushed, she was ashamed to answer.

" I'm sorry if I hurt you. You better clean yourself first, I have prepared warm water for you" said Ibra. Anisa nodded, then wrapped the blanket to cover her body. Ibra just smiled.

" Would you go to the bathroom with a blanket?" ibra asked while giving a white towel to Anisa. Slowly Anisa took the towel and looked at Ibra a little pleading. Ibra who understood immediately turned her face away. Soon Anisa took off the blanket and put on a short towel that only covered her chest up to her thighs. Anisa immediately went to the bathroom to clean her body after she did her duty last night. Ibra also cleaned her bed that was a little messy after the incident last night, her smile expands after she saw there are blood spots on her bed sheet.

Ibra was getting ready to go to the mosque. The next three days are teaching holidays because they have been given leave for their marriage.

Ceklek, Anisa came out of the bathroom, already using a robe while drying her hair with a towel.

" I'm going to the mosque first" Ibra said. Anisa nodded, then put on her veil, delivering Ibra to the front of the house.

" You must not forget the dawn prayer" Ibra reminded.

" Yes Ibra" answered Anisa. Ibra immediately narrowed her eyes to look at Anisa. Anisa who was aware of that immediately smiled bitterly.

" I'm sorry Bim"

" I forgot that her call now was Abim" Anisa's inner.

" Asalamualaikum"

" Greetings waalaikum"

Anisa kissed her husband's hand and ventured into kissing Ibra's cheek while wailing in fear of anyone seeing. Ibra smiled when she saw the courage of his wife. Anisa was embarrassed.

" Ahem"

Deheman's voice was heard from behind them. The Uthadzah of Ulfi and the ustad of Azam approached them. Anisa's face turned red again, sure that the couple saw her kissing Ibra.

" Bi's heart" said Ustadzah Uldi while kissing the arm of Ustad Azam.

The two men went to the mosque to perform dawn prayers.

Ustadzah Ulfi also invited Anisa back into the house. Anisa was doing the dawn prayer in her room. After that he just sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Ibra to come home.

" Asalamualaikum" Ibra said as she opened the door. Anisa smiled and kissed Ibra's hand again as the man sat down next to her. Anisa just kept quiet while bowing. I felt awkward myself until now Ibra looked at him.

" Is it still sick?" ask Ibra.

" Why still discussing that, isn't that embarrassing" Anisa's inner self. Anisa shook her head. Ibra stood up and took something from her drawer. He gave it to Anisa. Anisa's forehead frowned slightly as Ibra gave her a red medicine. Ibra sat down next to Anisa.

" I don't want to wear it, said the first person was sick, but later also healed himself" said Anisa refused.

" Not for you, but for me" replied Ibra made Anisa speechless confused not to understand the words of her husband.

" sthat mean?"

" Am I that wild last night???" anisa asked. Ibra smiled at the expression of his wife.

" You want to help me not?, otherwise I would have asked for help with Ulli" Ibra said deliberately to tease Anisa. Anisa straightened her lips.

" Don't ask for help with Ulfi" Anisa said while taking the red medicine, with Anisa's heart treating the wound on her back Ibra.

" If the Ulfi Ustadzah knows, I must be in Buli. I've been like a female cat clawing at her own husband's claws" Anisa's inner grumble.

Anisa also blew on Ibra's back so that the red medicine dried quickly.

" You want to wear it?, let me help you later" Ibra said.

" Yetoooooo"

Ibra laughed while looking down. When Ibra wanted to wear her clothes again, Anisa suddenly stroked Ibra's former tattoo whose skin was slightly wrinkled.

" hurt?" ask Anisa. Ibra.

" It seems to hurt more when you claw my back"

Anisa directly hit the tattoo marks while pouting in annoyance. Ibra laughed again.

" From tomorrow, cut off your nails" Ibra said. Anisa was embarrassed. Actually Anisa's nails are not too long, it's just that last night she pressed it so strongly against Ibra's back that it hurt her.

" I'm going to the bookstore, don't you want me to?" ask Ibra.

" Hmmm, aren't you teaching today?" ask Anisa.

"for the next 3 days I am given leave. Get ready, I wait outside" Ibra said as she stepped out after she put her clothes back on. Suddenly his eyes were fixed on the paper bag that Elina gave to his wife. There is a curious tickling until he took the paperbag from the table. Anisa herself hasn't opened it yet forgot that Elina gave the gift. Curious about the contents, Ibra immediately took and unfolded the clothes in front of him.

" This is what Nis?" ask Ibra.

Anisa who saw immediately widened her eyes when Ibra was holding a thin lingrie given by Elina. At once Anisa rushed to snatch it from Ibra's hands and hid it behind her back.

" Why?" ask Ibra.

" E, it's nothing, it's just a washcloth" Anisa replied nervously. Ibra immediately scrunched her forehead.

" Wipe cloth?"

" Hmmm"

" Elina gave you a wedding present with a washcloth?" ask Ibra back. Anisa also nodded.

" Elinaaaaa, why did you give me such a nightgown. I put on a closed robe he took off, let alone I wear thin clothes so, can Ibra will not let me sleep until morning" Anisa grumbled in her heart.

" I want to put it in the kitchen" Anisa said as she ran to the kitchen putting the shirt on the edge of the stove, then went back into the room.

" Let's go to the store" Anisa took with her while pulling Ibra's hand.
