Behind Aisha's Veil

Istikharah

"I admit all my mistakes. I don't deny it. I am so guilty and guilty. Has hurt and wasted my own wife both with words and deeds." Alvian looks very sorry.

"I was blinded by love. The love that plunged me into the valley of sin. Because of that love, I played with the sanctity of marriage, because of that love I reneged on my status as husband, denying my own wife the rights and obligations."

"However I'm lucky. Aisha kept reminding me of my mistakes. In his way he made me aware of the sin I had committed."

Abah looked mangosteen.

"So soon I began to realize my mistake, along with it, I began to realize also that Aisha was my wife, a special, best and precious woman. I'm starting to save flavor for him."

"I began to love her, and then determined to fix everything. Run the household she was supposed to be with until then you all know it now." Alvian finished his words.

Everyone seemed silent.

"Stupid. Some sincerely accept and love without being forced, so they will live a happy household. If it is hard to accept then the marriage will end up being a tempest. It is natural to bring together two people who initially did not know each other let alone love" said Aisha while lowering her face.

"I understand all the mistakes and rejections first. It's not easy for us to take each other for granted. Especially for my husband whose heart is on another woman. Once again I understand that I am among them, not he among us." Aisha saw Anita.

"It occurred to him to give up, but at last God showed His power, giving him guidance to realize his mistake, turning his heart to accept me as his wife."

"We are in the process of going to a sharia-compliant household, before exercising our rights and obligations, we are first repairing and strengthening each other."

"I want you to understand that." Aisha closed her words.

"Please give me a chance to fix everything." Alvian said solemnly.

"But what about that woman?" Ali pointed at Anita.

"I've cut off our relationship" Alvian replied quickly.

"I don't accept. I've been in a relationship with him for almost five years, I don't want to be thrown away." Anita voices.

Everyone looked at him furiously.

"Then what do you want?" ask mom angrily.

"My son has said that being in contact with you is his biggest mistake. He has already cut ties with you, why are you still insisting?"

"I want him to answer." Anita saw Alvian.

Everyone is shocked.

"Responsible?" ask mom again.

"Yes. Responsibilities. Five years of dating could never have happened between us. " Anita smiled cynically.

Everyone seemed shocked to hear it, especially with Mom and Dad.

While Alvian glared at Anita.

"What really happened?" ask Alvian growling.

"l. I know if you'll deny it."

Alvian immediately stood up to walk towards Anita.

But Aisha who was also standing there held him back. Holding hands.

"Leave it. Remember her determination to separate us? He'll do anything for it." Aisha saw Alvian.

Alvian saw Anita again.

"I'm a little religious science. But that doesn't mean I don't know sins. I admit that I was wrong to have a relationship with you. But all that time I've respected you, never touched you knowing it wasn't my right."

Anita looks so wrong.

"Why could you ever like a woman like this, have no self-respect, be humble, be good at lying and shameless."

Anita looked angry and upset.

He stood up and walked away from everything. His heart seemed to no longer accept because from earlier Alvian's mother continued to insult him. At least he felt satisfied. He knew that it would not be easy for Aisha's family to forgive Alvian.

After Anita's departure everyone seemed silent for a moment.

Every now and then they all look to see Abah. Waiting for him to make a decision.

"I'm sorry." Dad lowered his head.

"To want a righteous woman like your daughter to be my son-in-law, while my own son is not worthy to be your son-in-law."

"I'm so embarrassed."

Abah then decided that if he would not make a decision now, he asked for time to think and orient, did not want to make a rash decision and made a mistake for the second time.

***

Aisha went back into her room.

Opening the veil and laying his body on the bed, he then felt his forehead. Feel if his body comes back with a fever, and his stomach hurts a little. But he held her back and seemed to care less about her, thinking more about what decision Abah would decide later about her household.

Over time his stomach became more painful. With cold sweat pouring out he tried to get up and call his sister.

A few moments later.

Ummi compressed Aisha's hot forehead, holding back her tears, lovingly stroking Aisha's head slowly.

"Lately your body often hurts, son," said Ummi Lirih.

Zainab came with Siti.

"How's Ummi, has the heat gone down?"

Ummi nodded

"Yes. After taking the medicine, the heat has gone down."

Zainab approached Aisha.

"Silver. Don't mind much, leave everything to God."

Aisha nodded.

__

Week pass.

Alvian looks very frustrated, already three days ago he could not contact Aisha. The phone was off so they broke off communication.

She was overwhelmed by all sorts of conjectures, thinking if it was possible that Aisha would avoid it, it was also possible if it was due to the will of her parents who decided if they still had to part ways.

Alvian's restless. He felt unable to do so if that happened. He did not want to part with his wife. He remembered his determination to defend his household.

Alvian immediately walked towards the car park, the late night did not stop his intentions. He'll come back and see Aisha.

The car was speeding, in the middle of the night, Alvian drove a vehicle in the midst of turmoil.

Until finally he arrived in front of the gate of Pondok Pesantren, Alvian glanced at the clock in his hand which showed at three in the morning.

He laid his body on the back of the chair, until morning came he would wait in his car.

Alvian attended the congregation's early morning prayers at the mosque, considering the number of students, he was not seen by the two Aisha sisters who were there, after which he returned to his car, he would wait in his car again until when the sun was bright, he would meet his wife.

At 07. 00

Alvian who was about to get off the car stopped when he saw two cars owned by his father-in-law out the gate, he thought about where they were going considering the morning.

I don't know why he wanted to follow, although not sure if Aisha was in the car but the curiosity was so great knowing where they were going.

Alvian was shocked to find out if they were heading to the hospital. Arriving there. He saw one by one his family-in-law get out of the car, there were Abah and Ummi as well as his brothers-in-law. But I didn't see his wife.

He was astonished at who was sick, seeing Abah looking fine.

A curious Alvian got out of the car covered in curiosity and finally asked the customer service.

"It looks like the last one was the patient's family from Aisha's mother."

Alvian shocked.
