Behind Aisha's Veil

Of love?

"And do not change because of man, for you will be disappointed when that man does not appreciate you, change because God, sure that he has been blessed with taufik and guidance."

Alvian was again stunned by Aisha's words.

Both arrived at the apartment.

Aisha went straight into Alvian's room, she took some of her clothes and necessities.

Alvian, who was still buzzing about Aisha's words, just sat limply on the sofa.

Aisha had already entered her room, Alvian knew that tonight she would sleep in her room again.

Alvian took a deep breath, the more he thought that Aisha would always teach him a lesson even in a way that sometimes struck him.

The more he thought the more certain if Aisha was indeed sent by God to him who had strayed far from religious teachings. Aisha made him realize all his wrong actions.

***

Early in the morning Aisha had woken up, before her husband came out Aisha's room was ready to wait for him, with some luggage that she had prepared for the needs of her two brothers, as well as with food that she had cooked herself.

Suddenly the sound of a bell rang, Aisha immediately opened it and was shocked to see Abah and Ummi as well as Kak Ahmad.

"We want to see Kak Siti, before going to the hospital we want to visit your house first, good thing Kak Ahmad can find this address quickly," said Ummi after Aisha invited everyone to enter.

Aisha looked happy. She immediately serves drinks and food to both her parents as well as her sister, Aisha knows that they must have left early in the morning and may not have had breakfast.

"Where's your husband son?" ask Abah.

"Still in Abah's room" Aisha replied as she pointed to a room.

"Is he still sleeping?" ask Ummi.

Aisha looks confused to answer, because she herself does not know if her husband is still sleeping or has woken up.

"Attent. Aisha call first." Aisha walked over to her husband's room.

Though hesitating, Aisha went into the room, inside she could not find her husband on the bed.

Aisha, who knows that Alvian is taking a bath, intends to go back out. But she was shocked when she suddenly saw her husband coming out of the bathroom.

Aisha almost screeched to see her husband wearing only a towel around his waist.

Likewise with Alvian who was shocked to see Aisha in his room, not to mention he also felt embarrassed Aisha saw him without clothes.

Aisha immediately turned her body, turning her back to Alvian who was standing behind her. Body shaking. His heart is beating fast.

"There ...Ummi and Abah are outside" said Aisha nervously.

"I.yeah I'll be right out."

Aisha immediately came out, trying to be normal again even though her heart was still beating.

Not long after Alvian came out. After a short chat, they left for the hospital.

In the car.

Aisha still feels awkward and embarrassed herself, as well as Alvian, both of whom are equally misbehaved.

"Sorry..I didn't know if you were taking a shower earlier, I thought you were still sleeping, so I went in to wake you up." Aisha ventured to talk to her husband.

"It's okay. After all, if you want you can see everything."

Aisha instantly widened her eyes, looking at Alvian beside her.

"I heard those words also from someone." Alvian seemed frightened because his intention to melt the atmosphere even made Aisha angry.

***

Aisha and her entire family seemed to be waiting as Siti carried out the curettage process.

Suddenly everyone was shocked to see a sobbing Ummi.

Aisha and Zainab immediately approached their mother.

"Ummi Kak Siti is only in the curette. Not a major operation. Why is Ummi worried and crying?" ask Aisha wonder.

"Yes Ummi. Siti's gonna be fine. God willing!" Zainab held her mother's hand.

"From the look in his eyes, Ummi knew that Siti was feeling very sad. Her husband is not there to accompany her here" added Ummi again.

Everyone was silent, and so was Abah who seemed to be fixated.

"It is no wonder that being sincere in polygamy the reward is heaven" said Zainab, who felt her mother's grief.

"And reaching for clarity is not easy," added Aisha also hugged her mother.

***

Aisha accompanies Ummi and Abah who will return home, after knowing that Siti's condition after curettage has improved.

"Kak Siti may be allowed to go home tomorrow Ummi, after a few days of rest at my house, Kak Siti can just go back home." Aisha hugged her mother.

"Yes. Ummi tipped off your brother."

Aisha nodded.

After the departure of his parents. Aisha went back inside the Hospital to her sister's room.

But in the lobby, he was shocked to see people crowding. Aisha who was curious approached and tried to find out.

He was shocked to see Anita who was angry.

Anita looked so angry, snapping and cursing at the two nurses in front of her.

"I know if this news spreads out of your mouths." Anita pointed at the two people in front of her. Some people seem to try to quell Anita's anger but it's useless.

Aisha, who knew the root of the problem, backed away not wanting to interfere, but then someone pointed at her.

"This is Doctor Alvian's wife" said the man.

Aisha did not respond, she passed by to leave no matter if everyone was looking at her now.

Anita is further burned with emotion when she sees Aisha. He who does not care anymore about his good name that has already been bad because it is considered as a grabber husband people yell calling Aisha.

Aisha who seemed to know what would happen if she served Anita chose to ignore her, Aisha continued walking as if she had not heard.

Anita gets more emotional Aisha does not respond. He walked half-run after Aisha.

"Aisha wait!" Anita pulls Aisha's hand violently.

"Stop the Doctor. You have embarrassed yourself" Aisha said quietly and calmly.

"It's all because of you!" Anita glared at Aisha.

"Silent. Istighfar. Don't be like this, everyone's looking at us." Aisha is still trying to remind Anita.

"It's just that everyone sees us. Quickly tell them that it wasn't me trying to take Alvian away from you, but you who actually took Alvian away from me." Anita seems to insist on making a fuss with Aisha.

Aisha was still trying to hold back.

"Just tell them!"

"Tell me that I'm not what they're gossiping about if I'm a snatch on people's husbands." Anita keeps pushing Aisha.

"Say also if your marriage is forced, Alvian doesn't love you but he loves me. He was forced to marry you at the request of his parents."

Aisha continued to try to hold back.

"Let me say it!" Everyone saw the origin of the sound.

Alvian walked over to the two.

"My wife didn't take me away from anyone. Including you."

Anita widens her eyes.

"We got married because we were married. But you're wrong. I love my wife. Not you."

Alvian held Aisha's hand.

Aisha was shocked to see her hand held.
