Behind Aisha's Veil

Hidayah

Nayla went into her house furiously, and threw herself on the sofa grumbling.

"Aisha is so smart, why would she know if I was after her husband" she muttered softly.

"But I don't care, even if he knows, I'll still try to attract the handsome doctor."

"I'm sure, with the beauty of my face and the beauty of my body, her husband will slowly glance at me." Nayla smiled to herself.

"If compared to me, I'm sure if Aisha is nothing, she keeps covering her face and her whole body for sure because she's not confident."

Nayla continues to mutter to herself to make her unconscious if her newly awakened husband Andra is astonished to see her.

"Where are you going to go and start early in the morning?" Andra asked while yawning.

Instead of answering, Nayla looked at her husband with annoyance and disgust.

"Is there no more food?" Andra who lifted the hood of saji on the dining table glanced at his wife in annoyance.

"No. Buy it when you're hungry."

Andra approached his wife.

"Whatwant-you? Why is your behavior becoming more and more?"

Nayla stood up.

Once again there was a fierce debate, the two seemed to fight, berating each other, blaming and defending themselves.

"We can't keep going like this. Maybe it's better if we just split up" Nayla said lightly.

Andra shocked.

"I don't want a husband like you. I am beautiful, I should have a handsome husband, and the work is also good and well established" Nayla said, picturing Alvian, making her smile.

"Not like you." This time she looked at her husband in disgust.

Andra smiled cynically listening to all the words of his wife.

"You think I want a wife like you too? Out there I can get another thousand women like you."

Nayla who was lured back to say more hurtful words to her husband, not to lose, the husband also did the same thing.

Out.

Alvian is about to leave for work, as usual delivered by his wife.

On the doorstep the two completely ignored the neighbor's quarrel which sounded very clear.

Alvian kissed his wife's forehead warmly, and Aisha kissed her husband's hand warmly.

Suddenly Nayla came out angrily followed by her husband, still continuing to argue with each other.

Seeing Aisha and Alvian, Nayla and her husband fell silent.

"Be careful on the road, baby." Aisha wrapped her hands around Alvian's waist.

Alvian smiled at his wife.

"Yes. Be careful at home too, baby."

Seeing the intimacy of the two, Nayla and her husband misbehaved, both of them glanced at each other.

After the departure of her husband, Aisha will go back into her house, but then she sees Nayla whose husband is still fixated on seeing her.

"There is no falling in love without anger, resentment and fatigue. Some get upset and leave, some get upset and fix themselves, some get angry and hate but some get angry and then forgive again."

"It all depends on the strength of the love you feel, all the memories you have, and the struggle you've been through together."

Aisha then went into her house.

Nayla and Andra were stunned.

***

Anita sat sadly in front of a navel, occasionally wiping away the tears on her cheeks.

"Papa. Forgive Nita," he murmured softly.

Anita looked down sadly, recalling her friendship with her father a few years ago.

Six years ago his father had to leave him, and those were the toughest times of his life, he who at that time was studying his doctor's specialty had even thought to stop, but stopped thanks to his mother who reminded him if becoming a doctor was the father's biggest dream for him.

Anita cried even more sobbing, not because she still did not accept the departure of her father, but there is one thing that lately disturbed her mind.

No other because of the words of someone who was very disturbing himself about closing the aurat. There is a part that is very burdened, namely a father will take the sin if his daughter does not cover her aura.

Anita felt very unwilling if the father who loved her very much participated in all the sins he committed, because of his stupidity and selfishness that did not cover his aura, he said, it will continue to be a sin for his father who has passed away.

"Papa. Forgive Nita." Anita kept crying thinking about how many sins she had given her father.

***

Aisha hugged Anita tightly, she was so happy that she did not feel Aisha crying happily.

"Hidayah is expensive, after you get it, still Istiqomah even though it is difficult, it is not easy but continue to improve and keep lillah," said Aisha while looking at Anita's face.

Anita smiles.

"thank you. A little bit of you are taking part in my change."

"Alhamdulillah O Allah." Aisha was crying happily. Back he looked at Anita's appearance, with her shari'i and hijab, her face looked more and more beautiful glowing

"I want to deepen my religious knowledge, " said Anita suddenly.

"That's great, Alhamdulillah."

"I want to study at your father's boarding school."

Aisha frowned.

"Then your job?"

"I plan to stop."

"Stopped?"

"For the time being, I want to focus on studying first, after that I plan to open a maternity clinic only, it doesn't seem like it's going to take my time, so I can still study while working."

Aisha looked amazed.

"Alhamdulillah. Your idea is great."

Anita smiles.

"Your brother already knows my change, besides you he also participated in my efforts to achieve this direction."

"After I have completed my resignation. I'll go straight to your house, Lela's waiting for me."

Aisha nodded happily.

"Hopefully in this hijrah you remain Istiqamah. Hijrah does not mean you are no longer yourself but you are still yourself who perform better."

***

Aisha smiled to herself from earlier, in her heart she gave unceasing thanks.

Alvian who had just finished taking a bath saw the face of his wife who was grieving.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously while climbing the bed.

"Alhamdulillah. Anita has emigrated."

"Owh," replied Alvian briefly.

Aisha looked like she wanted to say something again, but then she parried it.

Aisha knew that as a wife, she could not tell her husband about another woman until he saw her, because the heart sometimes falls in love first rather than two eyes even though only through what has been heard.

"Oh yes, dear. Thank God it seems like our desire to buy a house soon will be done." Alvian this time looks very happy.

"Alhamdulillah." Aisha was happy.

"God gave us unexpected sustenance." Alvian then told me if his salary rose quite large.

"Alhamdulillah. You know, baby. The sustenance comes for three things. Come because we seek, come because God gives, come because we have given."

"But we also have to remember. That sustenance is also sometimes a test. To be cultivated does not mean to be glorified, to be narrowed does not mean to be insulted, and the key to passing both is gratitude and patience."
