Behind Aisha's Veil

Khilaf's?

Ammar.

Ammar's mother went straight to Aisha, holding her hand.

"I'm sorry my son. I know if he's wrong. I'm his mother begging forgiveness for everything he did to your brother." Ammar's mother begged Aisha.

"Mother's son is an adult, whatever he does is no longer the responsibility of mother, mother should not apologize for him." Aisha looked at Ammar's mother gently.

"Again, let the mother's child take responsibility for everything she has done. If you love your child, please do not support and defend him. Let this mother's son take responsibility for his own actions."

Ammar's mother fell silent, she caught a glimpse of her son and sat languidly on the sofa.

While Ammar was still standing glued.

"We'll keep reporting it." Alvian saw his sister-in-law.

"We have gathered all the evidence, including the results of the visa. You won't be able to dodge."

Ammar. Saw his wife.

"I'm sorry. You know exactly if I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't do it on purpose" he said in a stark manner.

"Don't mean to hurt? Not intentionally?" ask Anita not to believe it.

"Come here. I'll show you the results of your 'intentional." Anita pulls Lela's hands together, revealing her numerous bruises.

He then asked Lela to open her veil. So that Ammar can see clearly how severe the wound on the face of the wife caused by him.

"The wounds all over his body are even worse." Anita looked at Ammar with hatred.

Ammar's mother cried even more sobbing seeing everything, while Ammar just stood up misbehaving.

"Anyone wouldn't believe it if it was the result of an accident." Anita smiled cynically.

Ammar lowered his head.

Aisha helps her sister re-dress her niqab with the help of Anita.

Ammar's mother suddenly stood up, walking towards Lela.

"Son. I know your husband's wrong. I know that she must be punished for everything she did to you. But can you forgive him this time. Give him a chance to fix everything."

"Mothers. My husband has done this many times, many times he has apologized and many times I have forgiven him and given him a chance."

"But instead of changing, he was even more violent, if it felt like I was doing something wrong he beat and tortured me mercilessly." Lela held back her cries.

Everyone immediately looked at Ammar furiously.

"So sorry mom. I can't forgive him this time. In addition to reporting it to the police, I will also immediately file a divorce lawsuit."

Ammar and his mother looked shocked.

"Divorce son?" Ammar's mother couldn't help but be shocked.

Lela nodded.

"I'll never divorce you." Ammar suddenly made a sound.

"Why? Are you not content to torture him? Still less?" Anita looks upset.

Ammar ignored Anita's words, he walked closer to his wife.

"I'm sorry. I promise I will change. Give me one more chance, after that I'll be a good husband. I'm gonna change. I promise." Ammar seemed serious.

Lela shook her head.

"Let another perfect wife according to your version, who you think deserves to be with you, who knows all the science of religion as you do. That you won't be upset to educate and teach him what you want to be."

"I am not worthy of you, I am a woman of minimal knowledge, my knowledge is limited, my religious knowledge is not broad. I will also find another husband who will lead me patiently and sincerely."

Ammar seemed disappointed with his wife's reply.

He immediately left in annoyance followed by his mother.

While Lela was crying in her sister's arms.

***

Three days passed.

Lela has been discharged from the hospital, her condition has improved even though some bruises are still visible in some parts of her body.

While Alvian, since three days yesterday busy taking care of reports of abuse of her sister-in-law, she has even hired a lawyer who will help her take care of Lela's persecution and divorce case.

About the report of his persecution, Lela has also been questioned several times by the police, now they just wait for news and believe that Ammar will soon be appointed as a suspect.

Today. Sundays.

After a long time Alvian did not get a work holiday, finally today he can enjoy the weekend with his wife.

Alvian seemed to want to laze around, he spent a lot of time on the bed, his eyes occasionally noticed Aisha who wara-wiri in and out of the room was doing homework.

"Stop working, today just accompany me." Alvian pulls Aisha's hand until she falls right over her body.

Aisha who was initially shocked immediately smiled shyly to find herself right on top of the husband's body, she would immediately go down but Alvian held her back, by wrapping her hands around his waist.

"It looks like you've healed."

"Already," replied Aisha smiling.

"Then, then..." Alvian looked at his wife.

"What?" Aisha pretended not to understand.

Alvian did not reply, he only tightened his embrace as he looked at his wife's face full of desire.

Aisha smiled, she looked back at the face of her husband who was right below her, unexpectedly Aisha then kissed her husband's cheek.

Alvian was shocked, but she was made even more shocked when this time Aisha kissed her lips.

Alvian who seemed to have been given the green light, immediately turned his body, he who had been very eager to change position until now Aisha was below him.

The two stared at each other.

Alvian looked about to kiss his wife's lips, but suddenly Lela's voice called out to her sister. Makes Alvian undo his intentions.

"Sorry." Aisha saw a hint of annoyance on her husband's face.

The two wake up, Aisha will come down from the top of the bed, but before that Alvian holds her hand.

"Later night. Prepare yourself." Alvian looked at his wife's face.

Aisha smile.

***

"Silver. Maybe it's time we tell Abah" Lela said, seeing Aisha and Alvian alternately.

Aisha saw her husband.

"That's true, however sooner or later Abah must know." Alvian agreed to the idea of his sister-in-law.

Aisha speechless. He seemed to be thinking until suddenly the sound of his house bell rang.

Alvian wakes up to see who's coming.

He looked up at the in-laws standing before him as he opened the door.

"Change," said Alvian to make Aisha and Lela shocked. Both of them immediately stood up to see Abah and Ummi as well as his three older brothers went inside.

Ummi with teary eyes approached Lela and hugged her.

Aisha is shocked when she sees Ammar and her parents also go inside.

He then understood that if they must have told his extended family what had happened, Aisha was convinced that there was some ulterior purpose to why they had done it.

A few moments later.

Everyone was sitting with a serious face, especially with Abah who had just been silent.

"We'd like to apologize for all our son's mistakes."

"Not that we justify all our children's deeds, but as human beings it is only natural that we should be filial and err." Ammar's father opened his voice.

"Humans are a place of caliphate, but it cannot be used as an excuse to eliminate all bad deeds that have been done. molesting the wife is not a common mistake, and can be easily tolerated." Aisha chimed in quickly with the words of Ammar's father, even though she knew that her brother-in-law had not finished speaking.

"But is this persecution really khilaf? Do not just a hobby because it is done many times," he added again.

Ammar and his family were made to die by the words of Aisha, so that they could not speak anymore.
