Behind Aisha's Veil

Accident

Andre who was silent for a moment then smiled cynically.

"Your wife is very talkative" he said looking at Alvian while pointing at Aisha.

Alvian did not reply, he just continued to look at Andre in disbelief, apparently he was still shocked by all the words of his brother earlier.

Aisha then sat down beside her husband quietly.

"Didn't you think what if someone else took offense to your words?" asked Andre a little annoyed.

Aisha smiled instead.

"When we speak the truth, then we will see two different responses, intelligent people will reflect, and fools will be offended."

"You have to choose, you want to be smart what a fool is."

Alvian immediately smiled at his wife's words, while Andre seemed to be directly misbehaving.

Lucky father and mother came to them, Andre then hurriedly say goodbye to them all, with the reason if you have to prepare for his departure tomorrow.

***

In the room.

Alvian continued to hug his wife tightly with the occasional kiss on Aisha's forehead, after being satisfied he bent his body to kiss her stomach while stroking her slowly.

Aisha just smiled at her husband.

The two then sat on the bed, Alvian held his wife's hand tightly while looking at Aisha fixedly.

"How are you doing now? Is it still nauseous?"

"Little bit. But this is so much better than yesterday."

"But your mother said you didn't want to eat rice from yesterday."

"Yes. But I keep eating fruits and drinking milk."

Alvian held the face of his wife who was indeed a little pale.

"We need to get you checked out soon."

"Yes. But later. I called Anita's doctor. He said nausea vomiting is common at the age of the womb under four months. Don't worry too much."

Alvian looked relieved.

Aisha then asked her husband to rest because tomorrow morning they had to return to the city.

On the eve of their sleep chatting as usual, while hugging the wife, Alvian told his disappointment to Andre who had changed drastically according to him.

"Harta has made him forget himself" Alvian said sadly.

Aisha just nodded.

"He's like he's not the brother Andre I know."

"He has changed," he said more sadly.

"Make that a lesson for us. That we are at the end of the Age where property and position are deified. They are overwhelmed by the pleasures of the world, as if they were going to live forever" Aisha said.

"May our posterity be kept away from all the satanic deceit that plunges us into the valley of blasphemy."

"Aamiin."

***

Next day.

By borrowing his father's car, Alvian and Aisha will return to the city today. Of course, Mother and Father released the departure of the child and daughter-in-law with a heavy heart, especially considering Aisha's health is still not healthy increasingly makes them worried.

"Remember Nak. If you're done with work, you'd better get back home, pity your wife alone."

"Yes Mother" replied Alvian, hugging her mother.

They then say goodbye to Dad.

"Take care of your wife." Advice to his son.

Almost half of their journey passed by while chatting, but then they were amazed by the condition of the road that suddenly jammed, until finally they knew if there had been an accident that made their trip hampered.

Sure enough, apparently there had just been a consecutive accident, they then saw many victims who had not been evacuated still lying on the road.

Alvian's medical instinct made him feel compelled to step down and help the injured, especially when his wife also asked him to stop and help them.

Alvian immediately marginalized his vehicle, he got off while Aisha chose to wait in the car.

Alvian immediately helped the victims, fortunately most of them only lived with minor injuries, he immediately treated them with drugs in his medicine box.

Meanwhile, Aisha who was feeling hot in the car chose to go out and see the condition after the accident that was still foggy, he said, in the middle of a crowded atmosphere she then walked to see the situation around while looking for her husband, but then her steps stopped when she saw something that made her shocked.

Aisha approached someone she knew, the man seemed to be moaning in pain sitting next to her badly damaged car at the front.

"Sister Andre?" Aisha saw the man in disbelief.

Andre who was called shocked to see Aisha there, he then tried to look fine even though he actually felt a lot of pain because of his injured leg.

"Aren't you okay?" Aisha immediately approached him closer while looking at his slightly bleeding legs.

Meanwhile.

Alvian had treated some of the lightly injured victims of the accident, some of whom chose to go home, but others he referred to for further treatment at the Hospital.

After she finished, she chose to return to her car immediately, in a bit of a hurry to think of Aisha who had been waiting for her for too long.

Aisha was happy to see her husband finally coming too.

"Honey. Why wait outside the car?" Alvian approached his wife.

Aisha did not answer, she just opened the back door of their car.

Alvian then looked into the car, gasped at Andre who was smiling but then groaned in pain while holding his leg.

***

Alvian drove the car while occasionally glancing at Andre who kept moaning in pain behind him, he then smiled as he shook his head.

"I heard that there were three people killed in the accident" Alvian said suddenly, glancing at Andre.

"Innalilahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raaji'un," Aisha replied in shock.

Alvian waited for Andre's reaction which apparently only remained silent.

Alvian then glanced at Andre's slightly bloodied leg.

"Looks like your leg's broken."

"Huh!?" Andre was shocked.

"Yes. Broken, if severe, amputation."

"What!?" Andre was shocked. "Amputation?" said again.

Alvian nodded seriously.

Andre seemed immediately frustrated, he then cried while begging Alvian to help him treat his leg so that it could be healed and not amputated.

"I know you're a good doctor, help me, no matter how I heal my legs, try not to have my legs amputated." Andre whining.

Alvian did not reply, he refocused on driving while remembering Andre's words yesterday that denigrated his profession as a doctor, but now that God immediately turned the situation around, Andre begged him to be healed.

While Aisha who knows if her husband is just joking just smile.

"I'll pay whatever you want to make my legs look like they were, and don't amputee." Andre was crying sobbing.

"At least amputation is better than being killed in the accident" Alvian said.

"Thank God that your money can still heal your feet, for if death comes to you just now, be it your entire fortune or the rest of the world will not be able to reverse your death even for a second," alvian said again.

Andre pensive.

"If pride is always in the heart, then God gives rebuke. Be thankful again because God still gives His rebuke, it is a sign that God still gives us time to repent and improve ourselves" said Aisha added.
