Behind the Veil (Aisha)

Provocations

"We got married compared to them, right?" Zaidan hugged Anita who was preparing from behind.

"We are only one week faster," Anita answered was still busy tidying up the hijab she was wearing.

"Then why are we still relaxed yet to think about the problem of momongan not like them?"

Anita commented a smile while turning her body to see her husband.

"Yes. I'm also wondering why you've never said a child's problem." Anita looked at her husband in wonder.

Zaidan seemed to be thinking.

"Do we have to start thinking about it too?" tanyanya saw Anita.

"Good idea." Anita nodded.

Zaidan suddenly pulled his wife to sit on the bed.

The two sat facing each other. Anita looked at her husband in wonder.

"Why?"

"So this is Doctor. I want to consult" Zaidan replied with a serious face.

Anita immediately held back a laugh.

"Please sir."

"My wife and I have been married for about five months. But until now there has been no sign if my wife is pregnant."

"Yes. Continues to?" Anita listened seriously.

"May I ask for advice how can we get a baby soon?"

"Of course." Anita confirmed her sitting position.

Zaidan prepared to listen seriously.

"First. Have a husband and wife relationship regularly. Second one. Live a healthy lifestyle. Thirdly. Take supplements or foods containing folic acid. Fourthly. Stop bad habits like smoking. Fifthly. Do regular check-ups." Anita explained in detail.

"We've all done Doc."

"Then the sixth. Pray to Allah SWT." Anita smiles.

"It's Doc too."

"There is a seventh. Be patient. Maybe your body and your partner are busy selecting the best seeds to be used as a great Mujahid and Mujahidah later." Anita smiled back.

"Aamiin's." Zaidan smiled as he hugged Anita tightly.

"Hopefully the selection process will not take long, Doc" whispered Zaidan.

Anita nodded.

"No Ummi. I'm it's okay. This isn't a big operation." Siti tried to calm her mother who seemed very worried after hearing if Siti would have surgery.

Aisha who saw her sister's hassles calmed their mother took the initiative to take her sister's phone and talk to Ummi.

Aisha spoke while sitting on the sofa, accompanied by Alvian who was also directly sitting next to his wife.

He began to calm his mother, saying that this operation was actually a form of his brother's efforts to obtain offspring.

"Ummi doesn't need to come here. Just pray for the operation of Siti's feet to run smoothly and after that immediately blessed with a child."

"There's me and Lela, too, who will take care of her. Ummi need not worry." Aisha kept trying.

Siti felt a little relieved. He was sure that his sister could make their mother calm down and not worry anymore.

Before long Andre came with a few pieces of paper, apparently he had just completed the inpatient administration process for his wife.

"Sister should have booked a regular room," said Siti approaching her husband. Actually she was a little uncomfortable with this spacious and luxurious VIP room, she was sure that her husband would have to spend quite a lot of money to rent this room, she said, not to mention the operating costs that he is also sure must require a lot of costs.

"It's okay, baby. Don't think of anything. You need to calm down to face the operation tomorrow."

Andre invites his wife to sit opposite Aisha and her husband.

"Sister Andre is right. Brother don't mind much." Aisha saw her sister.

Siti nodded.

A few moments later.

Aisha and Alvian walked hand in hand down the corridor of the Hospital. The two had just returned from the cafeteria to buy some snacks for Aisha who had recently been feeling hungry.

Their steps were stifled when suddenly Indira blocked the two, showing her familiar face, she greeted Aisha kindly.

"I finally got to meet his wife Doctor Alvian."

"introduce. I'm Doctor Indira. Her co-worker is doctor Alvian." Indira thrust her hand with a sumringah.

Aisha welcomes Indira's hand and introduces herself.

Another case with Aisha who is also trying to be friendly, Alvian showed otherwise, he did not seem to like Indira talking to his wife.

"Let's go, baby." Alvian held Aisha's hand and asked her to walk.

Aisha looked at her husband in surprise because only this time she saw him clearly showing his dislike for someone.

This made Aisha very curious about the figure of Indira. Why does her husband seem so dislikeful.

"Doctor Alvian why hurry. We still want to get to know each other more closely." Indira tries to hold Aisha back from leaving.

"Yes dear. In a minute." Aisha saw her husband.

Alvian. He resigned when Indira invited his wife to sit down and talk.

Indira then mince words asking Aisha's pregnancy.

"Oh yes. Me and Doctor Alvian have been friends since college."

"Isn't it Doc?" Indira glanced at Alvian.

Alvian did not answer, he immediately turned his face away from Indira.

"I. Doctor Alvian and Doctor Anita are even good friends" Indira added.

"Oh." Aisha nodded as she glanced at her husband who was increasingly showing his arrogant face hearing Indira's words.

Suddenly Alvian's phone rang, he immediately picked it up which apparently had an emergency call for him.

"Honey. I have to go, I'll take you first to Siti's room."

"It's okay, baby. Go awayl. I'll be there by myself."

"But-" Alvian glanced at Indira cynically. She was afraid that her co-worker would say something no to Aisha later, let alone about her fitnah to herself and Anita the other day.

"Honey. I'm it's okay. Go." Aisha held her husband's hand with a smile.

"alright. I'll go first." Alvian finally allowed his wife to remain there, behind his worries, he who already knew the character of the wife was sure that Aisha was a person who would not be easily instigated. In fact, he was sure if his wife would even make Indira die of lice if for example Indira tried to say something not-no about him.

Eventually Alvian leaves from there leaving Aisha and Indira together.

"You're so lucky to have a husband who loves you so much." Indira smiled wryly at Alvian who treated his wife lovingly.

Aisha just smiled.

"Oh yes. By the way do you know Dr. Anita?"

"Yes. We're good friends."

"really? Very rarely does a wife want to be friends with her husband's ex-boyfriend." Indira started to provoke.

Aisha smiled back.

"Who would have thought if the two were not a match. Given the length of time they dated and how they used to love each other so much." Indira says it while glancing at Aisha to see how she reacts.

"That's soul mate. It is not about who knows the longest, who comes first or who is loved the most. But about Allah SWT who has arranged it for us. The one that is known the longest can actually give a lot of injuries. The first one may end up disappointed, and the most loved one may not necessarily be comfortable and happy."

Indira was stunned for a moment to hear the words, a moment later she chuckled.

"Yes you're right. Their love story is only limited to the past, both of them have certainly forgotten each other right? There's no way they're still secretly harboring each other's flavors." Indira kept chuckling to herself.

"Whatever the heart hides will be shown by attitude and words, as well as coffee, as beautiful and attractive as it is presented, will not be able to hide its bitter taste. That's you." Aisha chuckles back.
