Behind Aisha's Veil

Apologize

Ummi hugged Aisha. Alternating with Siti who hugged her sister tightly as the two said goodbye.

Aisha asked Ummi and her brother to go back to the cottage, because the situation is also now better. Aisha thought that if Ummi should take care of Abah who also still needs to be considered his health condition, besides that Aisha knew that Siti also had to immediately take care of her divorce to the religious court.

Siti who insisted on divorce wanted to immediately file a lawsuit to the court, she wanted to immediately clear everything up even though she knew that the divorce process would not be easy considering her husband who also insisted that he would not divorce her.

"I will always support whatever the decision of the sister," said Aisha looking at her brother with affection.

Siti smiled, she hugged her sister back tightly.

"You are also healing quickly. A new life is waiting for you. After this you will live a real household."

Finally Ummi and Situ returned home, another thing that makes Ummi calm leaving his daughter is because there is iron, he knows if his daughter-in-law will take good care of Aisha.

"Titip my son," Ummi said to Nurma, his besi.

Of course the mother replied that if Aisha was now her daughter, she would definitely take care of her and look after her like her own biological daughter.

After the death of her mother Aisha is now accompanied by her two in-laws.

"Mom's happy that Abah received Alvian back" said Mother with relief.

Aisha smile.

"Mom hope yesterday's events can serve as a lesson for your husband. Don't let him hurt you and waste you again."

"Yes Mother. There is always a lesson behind the incident. I don't consider trouble a disaster because there's always a silver lining."

Nightfall.

Alvian, who had just undergone a long operation, immediately walked into his wife's room, and he, who had been in the operating room since this afternoon, was in a hurry to meet her.

He opened the door and found his wife sitting on the bed alone.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" he asked in astonishment as he approached his wife.

"I told them to go home, I saw that my father's health condition was not good either. So I forced Mom to take Dad to rest in the apartment."

Alvian nodded while sitting beside his wife.

"How are you doing?"

"Well," Aisha replied, looking at her husband's face, looking very tired and tired.

"How's the operation going?"

"Alhamdulillah smoothly," replied Alvian while checking the infusion and asked various things about the condition of his wife post-surgery.

"Tell me if you feel pain I will...." Alvian stopped her words because of Aisha who suddenly held her hand.

"I'm fine." Aisha looked at her husband.

A startled Alvian suddenly smiled a little at Aisha's hand holding her hand.

"You better rest. I know you're very tired" Aisha said softly.

Alvian shook his head, he then held tightly onto his wife's hand.

"I was tired, but not anymore." Alvian kissed Aisha's hand.

Shamed Aisha, immediately pulled her hand from her husband.

Alvian smiles.

"Open your veil. I can't see your face that must be red." Alvian teases Aisha.

Aisha smiled shyly while lowering her head.

Alvian kept staring at his wife full of love.

Aisha raised her face, looking at her husband.

"When do I think I can go home?"

"Hm.. Maybe the day after tomorrow, but it all depends on your condition, you have to be treated longer because of an infection from a ruptured appendix."

Aisha nodded.

"I'm sorry." Alvian suddenly held Aisha's hand again.

Aisha was shocked, she looked at her husband's face.

"It must have hurt a lot." Alvian seemed to feel guilty.

"Sometimes it takes the worst pain to produce the best change." Aisha smile.

____

Aisha couldn't sleep, and from then on she just looked at the head of the husband who was sleeping while sitting down, slapping his head beside her.

She slowly raised her hand, she also slowly stroked her husband's head.

Aisha continued to do so, hoping that if it would make her fall asleep in her sleep, she knew that exhaustion had put her husband to sleep next to her.

Aisha intended to stop her swab, raising her hand from her husband's head, but suddenly Alvian's hand held her back. He keeps Aisha's hand back in her head.

"Don't stop" said Alvian slowly still with a face down.

"I thought you were sleeping."

"I'm sorry if I woke you up" Aisha said.

Alvian raised his head, again sitting firmly while looking at his wife's innocent face without a veil blocking him.

"How can I sleep if my wife hasn't slept."

"I'm not sleepy yet."

"I'll give you some sleeping pills. It's not good for you right now." Alvian moved from his seat.

"no need. I'm going to sleep now."

"All right." Alvian sat down.

"Sleep" he said gently, rubbing his wife's head slowly.

"You'd better sleep, too,"

"Yes. After you go to sleep, I will also definitely sleep."

***

Next day.

After feeding his wife, Alvian said goodbye to having to check on some of his patients, he left Aisha after confirming that her mother was on her way to the Hospital.

Aisha who is alone seems busy talking over the phone with Ummi and Abah who ask her how she is.

Aisha seemed to have finished her conversation, she kept her phone.

Suddenly the door opened, Aisha was shocked to see the person who entered her room.

Anita walked up to him with a smile.

"How are you doing?" anita asked while sitting next to him.

"good. Thank you." Thank you."

"I want to tell you something." Anita saw Aisha.

"Yes. Say."

"I want to apologize."

Aisha surprise.

"For what?"

"All my faults are with you, your husband and your family." Anita.

Aisha looked at Anita in surprise, this time Anita looked uncharacteristically cynical and arrogant.

"I realized if it was hard for me to get Alvian back, he was all yours, no way back to me." Anita said solemnly.

Aisha also saw clearly the earnestness of Anita's words, and that made her sympathize a little.

"I realized that all the efforts I made to get Alvian back to me were making her stay away from me. I also just realized that Alvian isn't my soul mate, he's not for me."

Aisha looked at Anita.

"The fool is God's secret. No matter how much we want it, as long as we wait for it, no matter how hard we are patient, no matter how honest we accept it, if God does not write our soul mate is with it, then we will not be with it."

"God takes something out of your grasp, for God knows that it is not best for you, but remember that something you have lost is none other than that God wants to replace it with a better one."

"Think positively and accept His destiny with sincerity, for the ribs and their owners will never be changed and will meet in time."
