Behind Aisha's Veil

Subjugating views

"I? What kind of woman am I?" anita asked directly after Zaidan who was walking in front of her.

Zaidan did not answer, he kept walking to look for a taxi.

"Hey. What kind of woman am I?" ask Anita again when she has stopped.

Zaidan shook his head ignoring Anita's question.

"Hey, why don't you answer?" Anita looks angry.

"Are you a Muslim?" Zaidan asked without looking at Anita, noticing the passing car in front of her.

"Yes. I'm a Muslim."

Zaidan smiled cynically.

"Why are your clothes like that?"

Anita looked at her clothes.

"Why clothes?" Anita looks Zaidan astonished.

"Do you really not know the duty of a Muslim?" Zaidan looks irritated to have to serve Anita's question.

"Why are you criticizing my shirt, what about your disrespectful attitude that doesn't see your opponents talking." Anita looks upset.

Zaidan did not answer, he seemed busy waiting for a taxi that never showed up.

Although in his heart he said that his attitude now was the highest form of courtesy of a man who did not dare to see the aura of a woman and he also wanted to be the best man who lowered his gaze from a woman who is not the mahram.

Anita who continued to be ignored seemed to grunt. He resentfully left Zaidan for his car.

Aisha hugs Alvian, she is thrilled to hear the news that the police are now holding evidence of her brother's mistreatment.

"The man came directly from Egypt and handed over the video evidence, from what I saw earlier the video was taken from the building next to where your brother lives."

"You met that guy?"

"No. Police said Ammar hit him after he left."

"Dearly enough. We have to say thank you to him."

"Yes, but surely he left his identity at the police station, I'll have a lawyer ask him so we can meet him and thank him directly."

Aisha looks relieved.

"Alhamdulillah. Kak Lela's problem has been solved, now only the divorce process is left."

Alvian looked happily at his wife's happy face, so that her face looked more beautiful and it teased her.

Alvian pulls Aisha into his arms.

"Tonight you are beautiful, with this outfit you look even more beautiful" whispered Alvian while holding the lingerie she wore.

"May I ask you something?" tanya Alvian looked at Aisha's now reddish face.

"Where did you buy this shirt?"

Aisha smiled immediately.

"In the online shop," he replied blushingly.

"So the package that comes every day is these clothes?" asked Alvian in shock.

Aisha nodded.

"Gee. You must have a lot of stock."

"A lot of it," Aisha replied as she held back her laughter.

Alvian smiles.

Aisha was shocked.

"How's your sister-in-law doing now?" zaidan asked Alvian when the couple came to his house to express their gratitude in person.

"Alhamdulillah. It's much better."

"Thank God. I'm very happy to hear it" Zaidan replied in relief.

"We don't know what else to say, if it wasn't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my sister" Aisha said, bowing her head.

Zaidan smiled.

"What I do is natural, as fellow Muslims we are obliged to help our brothers who are in trouble."

"Tomorrow my brother will be here, he will be called by the police, if it pleases my brother and the whole extended family I want to meet you."

"of course. Coincidentally I was also called to testify again, maybe we will meet at the police station."

Alvian and Aisha nodded happily.

Lela comes with Abah and Ahmad, they immediately come to the police station where Aisha and Alvian are waiting there.

Aisha and her entire family await Zaidan's arrival but never come, from the police they finally found out that Zaidan had just given news that he would be late to the police station because there was a business that he could not leave.

Not long after Lela finally finished checking, after it was finished, everything then went to the apartment to stop by for a moment.

Arriving there, Aisha and Lela were busy serving food, while Alvian along with her in-laws and sister-in-law were also busy talking, until she heard the door ringing.

Aisha who opens the door is happy to know that Anita is coming.

Anita wants to meet with Lela, asking the situation is also reported now, she is grateful to see the condition of Lela now which is much better.

The three of them then chatted warmly at the dining table, not joining the men in the living room.

Abah and Ahmad, who in fact knows who Anita is, are happy to see if Aisha has been on good terms with him, even from Lela's story, they knew that Anita had helped him a lot when he was injured yesterday.

Seeing the drastic changes, Abah was not so surprised, because he knew Aisha was his daughter, with the attitude and nature of the knowledge that the princess had it was easy for him to reverse the status of an opponent into a friend.

Suddenly the sound of the bell rang again, Aisha opened it again, and was shocked to see Zaidan in front of her.

"sorry. I came late to the police station, so we didn't meet there, so I asked the police for your address, wanted to see you all for a visit." Zaidan seemed very polite talking to Abah as well as Ahmad.

Abah and Ahmad welcomed the arrival of Zaidan, not forgetting that they immediately thanked him for helping Lela.

Lela also expressed her own gratitude, the two of them talking with each other lowered their gaze.

Anita who saw was amazed by the attitude of the man who had helped Lela, yesterday when they accidentally met, this person was very arrogant and cynical to her, too, unlike this time which looks very polite, kind and friendly.

He reveals it to Aisha while helping Aisha in the kitchen, preparing drinks and snacks.

Aisha immediately saw Anita.

"Then he's a very polite man and appreciates women. He's not acting haughty by not seeing your face. He's just bowing his eyes to you, he respects you a lot."

Anita doesn't understand.

"The sight is the poisoned dart of the darts of the devil, then whosoever withholds his gaze from the beauty of a woman because of God, surely Allah will leave sweetness in his heart until the day of meeting with Him."

"sorry. Moreover, you did not close your aura." Aisha spoke carefully.

Anita looked at her body.

"If a man's hijab is to bow his gaze, then a woman's hijab is to close her aurat."

"That is how God glorifies a woman, closing the aurat is not a restraint but a form of glory, only a certain person can see her beauty, the mahram and her husband."
