Behind Aisha's Veil

Getting pregnant?

Alvian smiles.

"I'm so happy to hear that."

"I've got a lot of proclamation to just forgive all your mistakes. But that doesn't mean I'll continue to understand." Aisha stepped into the mosque.

"I love you. That's all I can tell you." Alvian keeps Aisha from leaving.

Aisha stopped her steps.

"I don't care what reason you want to keep me. Either out of love or forced the most important thing I know that now we will always be together because I will keep you by my side with my love" Alvian continued.

Aisha did not answer, she again stepped into the mosque.

With sparkling eyes, Alvian continued to stare at Aisha. Heart's blossoming. Now he knows they'll always be together.

Midnight.

Aisha saw that her husband had slept soundly on the sofa, as well as her brother, while she, who could not sleep, continued to be next to her father.

Aisha held Abah's hand with an occasional kiss and continued to pray for her recovery.

In addition to his illness, Aisha knows that Kak Siti's problem is actually making Abah's health worse. He saw deep sadness and disappointment in Abah's eyes that time. The time when her sister cried expressed her decision to separate. Aisha knows that Abah is disappointed. Disappointed in himself who had wrongly chosen a mate for his daughter. Sad because of his blessing, the princess also get pain from the man of her choice.

Aisha then glanced at her husband. Had Abah known if the fate of his marriage was also almost the same as the brother, somehow would be more sick and disappointed this father.

But thankfully it didn't happen.

Aisha looked at her husband's face.

"Change. I hope this man of your choice is the best for me. I know that for me Abah wouldn't have chosen wrong. May her shoulders be as strong as yours to be where I lean, her back as strong as your back so that it can be where I stand. The hugs are as warm as your hugs that are able to give me protection. Her chest is as big as your chest that always forgives."

After the dawn prayer, Aisha felt a new drowsiness, finished teaching beside her father, Aisha woke her brother and her husband to the morning prayer, after both of them got up and went to the mosque, she lies down on the sofa, and Aisha falls asleep.

Aisha wakes up when she realizes that Ummi and Kak Zainab are there, she is shocked to find out that it is 10 in the morning.

"Ummi when is coming?" aisha asked while fixing her veil.

"From 8 o'clock, son."

"Why not wake me up?" Aisha opened the veil for a drink.

"Your husband forbids us to wake you up, he said all night you don't sleep." Zainab replied with a smile.

"Eat this, son. Your husband bought it for you" Ummi said as he offered the food box.

"Ummi and brother Zainab have eaten?" Aisha took the food box.

"It has. Your husband bought it, too."

Aisha smile. And so is Ummi.

"Your husband is very good, son. He seems to love you very much." Ummi stroked Aisha's back.

Aisha and Zainab looked at each other.

"He was good Ummi. God willing, she loves Aisha." Zainab smiled at her mother.

"That's what Ummi expected. Enough Siti who suffered a failure in her household." Ummi's face turned sad.

***

Daytime.

Aisha felt unwell, so she did not join Ummi and her brother in praying Dzuhur in the mosque. After performing the Dzuhur prayer, he then helped the father to perform tayamum and then perform the prayer with a signal.

"Go home, son. Rest at home" said Abah after he prayed.

"No Abah. I can rest here." Aisha nudged her father's hand.

"You're hot, son, you better just go home and rest at home." Abah fingered her daughter's forehead in worry.

"I'm fine Abah." Aisha smile.

Suddenly the door opened. Alvian went inside with two nurses behind him.

Alvian immediately examined her father-in-law, while conversing the two looked familiar.

Alvian smiled. He then saw his wife who had fallen silent.

"Bring your wife home, she doesn't seem to be feeling well."

Alvian shocked. He approached his wife closer.

"Why you?" alvian asked worriedly.

Not answering. Aisha ran to the toilet in a hurry. She's puking.

Alvian looked very worried, standing at the door waiting for his wife there.

So too with Abah.

"Mr don't worry because soon the father will soon have a grandson" said one of the nurses there with a smile.

Abah immediately smiled happily. Alvian and Aisha just came out of the toilet.

"Gee.. Congratulations, Doctor, soon to be a father." Two nurses approached the two congratulating them.

Alvian only bengong received congratulations, in contrast to Aisha who frowned.

"So dad?" ask Aisha wonder.

"Yes. You're pregnant, right?" ask the nurse with a smile.

"Pregnant?" Aisha was wide-eyed as she looked at Alvian beside her.

The two nurses walked out of the room giggling.

"Why do they think I'm pregnant?" Aisha looks upset while sitting on the sofa.

Alvian held back his smile.

"Why you should be angry, just let it go. Hopefully what they say is true. You're pregnant, son." Abah smiled as she looked at her upset daughter.

Aisha and Alvian immediately looked at.

"I'll get you some medicine" Alvian said then as he left the room.

Alvian was shocked when several doctors and nurses came to him congratulating him. Apparently the news of his pregnant wife has been spread due to the actions of the two nurses, of course.

Alvian just smiled and said thank you, he did not want to talk much let alone explain if in fact his wife was just in pain.

But there was a woman who was looking from a distance in great anger. His red face held back the anger of hearing that his ex-lover was going to be a father.

"Bad you two. Have fun on top of my suffering!" Anita wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

***

Aisha, who was dying after taking the medicine given by her husband, walked to the cafeteria to buy food. Arriving there he seemed to undo his intention to see a very crowded cafeteria.

Aisha then turned her body, shocked when suddenly there was Anita in front of her.

"So you're pregnant?" anita asked with a cynical smile.

Aisha does not seem to want to serve, she will walk again but Anita blocks her way.

"Peccish woman!"

"Say are you pregnant?" Anita sounded angry this time. To attract the attention of some people.

"What's so strange about pregnant women?" aisha replied relaxedly.

Anita gritted her teeth. Anger makes him no longer care if now everyone is watching the two of them.

"Based on hypocritical women!" Anita pulls Aisha's veil rough.

Aisha who was startled immediately lowered her head and covered her face with both hands, but suddenly from behind Alvian came and pulled Aisha's head into her arms. Drowned his wife's face into his chest.

Aisha who was about to cry, was relieved, her hands that had covered her face had now perched on her husband's waist.

Anita who now holds Aisha's veil looks shocked by Alvian's sudden arrival.

Alvian's eyes were reddened. His face looked very angry.

With one hand still holding his wife's head, Alvian glared at Anita in front of him.
