Behind the Veil (Aisha)

Sun

Ummi hugged Lela tightly as her daughter bade to go with her husband. The woman with the old body was unable to hold back her crying because it would be abandoned by the princess.

Just like Ummi, Lela also could not help but cry, she continued to hold her mother tightly as if she did not want to be separated.

"Go Nak. Follow husband. Now he's more entitled to you." Ummi let go of his embrace. She then fondly stroked her daughter's head.

"Don't forget all Ummi's advice, be a godly wife, remember that your paradise is in your husband's service."

Lela nodded. Siti and Zainab then approached and hugged him in turn.

"Hopefully in this marriage, you will have happiness." Zainab hugged her sister tightly.

"Aamiin's." Those who heard answered.

Now it's Zayn's turn to say goodbye to his mother-in-law.

"Ummi leave him to you, please remember all of Ummi's messages, son." Ummi said expectantly.

Zayn nodded.

"Goddess Ummi. All Ummi's messages will always be remembered." Zayn kissed his father-in-law's hand.

After both, followed by Aisha and Alvian who now say goodbye to Ummi and the others.

After that the second car then went hand in hand to leave the parking lot of Pondok Pesantren.

Ummi with papah by Siti also Zainab back into the house.

Meanwhile.

Lela seemed to be trying to stop the tears that continued to divorce by itself, Zayn who drove occasional glances at his wife could only be silent as if he felt the sadness that was being experienced.

Halfway through the journey and both of them kept silent, Lela seemed to be busy with the prayer beads that were always in her hands while Zayn was busy driving beside her.

"May I ask you something?" zayn's question suddenly startled Lela.

Lela was silent at first not to answer, then she answered her husband's question with a small nod.

"Did talking to me scare you?" asked Zayn hesitatingly.

Lela did not answer, but then she shook her head slowly.

Since knowing if the husband knows his true condition, somehow it makes him a little comfortable, although still a little bit scared but he can still overcome the fear.

"Can you please tell me what I can and cannot do as long as it makes you comfortable."

Lela fell silent. He was confused to answer.

Lela didn't even answer, she just kept quiet.

"You know the concept of staying away to keep, the parable is the sun loving the earth by its distance." Zayn glanced at Lela.

"It sounds tough and mature indeed, but it's still sad." Lela replied slowly.

Zayn was shocked by his wife's reply.

"Keeps me to take care of me? How long will you hold?"

"Until you come to me yourself" Zayn replied quickly.

Lela fell silent.

Anita seemed relieved to hear the news that Lela and Zayn were on their way to the city along with Aisha and her husband.

"After being here, then Lela can routinely consult a psychiatrist, and I hope it will help her to recover quickly." Anita saw her husband driving.

Zaidan just nodded, because in fact he was remembering when he used to often see Lela tortured by her husband so he thought that if only natural Lela experienced severe trauma due to the torture

"His husband used to torture her very cruelly, Lela once told me that every night she was always tortured and mistreated by her husband just for a small mistake, Lela said, it could even be without cause and reason he was tortured just like that," continued Anita again with annoyance.

"It's only natural that if Lela's fear arises if she is in a room with men at night, it must remind her of when she was tortured first." Anita remembers what happened last night.

"Basic psychopath, cruel man, callous." Anita looks increasingly furious and upset when she recalls the face of Ammar, Lela's ex-husband.

Suddenly Zaidan held his wife's hand, making Anita shocked and immediately saw her husband.

"When the ugliness of others is shown to us, it is not for us to gossip, but for us to learn that we do not do the same evil." Zaidan stopped his car because they had reached the clinic parking lot. He then looked at the wife's face.

The two stared at each other.

"I'm sure you'll never do that" Anita said as she looked at her husband.

"You are a good husband, a husband whose attitude and speech are always meek, who never says and is rude to me."

Zaidan smiled, he then brought himself closer to his wife and then kissed her forehead slowly and long enough.

"The forehead is a witness of our obedience to Allah SWT as an intermediary means of submitting beings to His Creator and for a husband kissing the forehead of his wife is the source of his zeal and tranquility in making a living and living the day," zaidan said as he stroked his wife's cheek.

Anita smiled as she took her husband's right hand. She kissed the back of her husband's hand for quite a while.

"With this hand my husband works for a living, through this kiss I leave a prayer so that God keeps the love of the husband and does not bring home what is not his right, he said, through this kiss I also sent a prayer that God would always take care of my husband."
