Black Stain My Husband

Pitying

Aidin sits in the living room. His eyes continued to look towards the gate. Occasionally look at the clock in his hand. When he came home from the restaurant, he was worried. His chest evaporated even nearly exploded. 

"Where the hell is he?" Grumbled and then moved. His feet swung and stood in the doorway. It ceaselessly cursed inwardly and hit the door to vent its annoyance. 

Not long after, Zahra came ushered by Iqbal and it added more heat to Aidin. 

"Be careful, Mas" cried Zahra as Iqbal turned his car out. 

Aidin hurried back to sit in his original place, pretending not to see the arrival of the woman. 

"Astagfirullah, Mas aidin has come home, I renege on my promise."

Zahra ran small. Remembering will come earlier than Aidin, but in fact now her husband was at home first. Really, she felt like a lying wife. 

"Assalamualaikum," Zahra hesitated as she looked at the flat-looking Aidin. 

There was no answer, the man stared at the screen of the phone in his hand. 

Zahra walked slowly towards Aidin. 

"Sorry, Mas. I thought you were coming home like you always do."

Aidin was silent, his eyes glancing towards Zahra's hand which was filled with paper bags. Then, smile grinning. "Like him you really like to walk with him, why not stay at his house, all of you" he said. 

"I'll definitely stay at Iqbal's house. But, that's if he's my husband" Zahra replied. As if it was a satire for Aidin who often lived in Amera apartments, even though they were not a halal couple. 

"Excuse me." 

"Wait on! I'm not done talking yet" Aidin's sergeant stopped Zahra's steps. 

"There's nothing we need to talk about, ma'am." Zahra turned her body to look at Aidin's back. "It's all clear that we're going to be apart soon. You never loved me. You never even thought I existed.  All this time I was just a statue in this house, we only talked when you needed me. I also need happiness with people who really love me, and that I never get from you."

Stop for a moment to breathe. 

"Together with Amera's birthday is our wedding anniversary. I'm waiting for you at home, at least we'll celebrate. Let's just say it was a memory before we parted."

Zahra left Aidin who looked riveted. I don't know what he was thinking, the man did not dispute his blatant remarks. 

Zahra shed her tears. The relationship that she maintained with all her heart finally came out too, she felt herself stupid and unable to maintain her husband. 

"As long as you are happy, I am sincere. May Amera be the right choice for you and your family." 

Aidin threw his body on the sofa. Digesting Zahra's words that pierced into the ribs. He started it all, but in fact, he himself felt ill hearing it all. 

"I'm wrong, Za.  I can't be a good husband to you."

Without feeling, regret alighted and brought him to dreamland. 

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Kok the quagmire anyway?" Zahra used the powder to cover her slightly swollen eyes as a result of crying. Didn't want to look pathetic in front of Aidin. 

It had been almost ten in the night, suddenly Zahra felt her stomach was very hungry. He had to wake up from his sleep. Didn't want anything to happen to his son and chose to go out to eat.

Chequelek 

Open the door slowly. His eyes were tracing the room that looked quiet. The lights were still bright, but there was no sign of Aidin there. 

Maybe Aidin forgot to turn off the lights. 

Zahra walked into the kitchen looking for food in the fridge and snacks to fill her stomach. 

"This house will be a bad memory for us. But I never regret ever being your wife, so many lessons I learned. Apparently, love cannot be forced. I can't force you to love me, let this love disappear with time."

Unintentionally, Zahra sees Aidin sleeping on the sofa. Then, take a blanket and cover the body of the husband before returning to the room.

Early in the morning Aidin woke up. Sleeping all night was in fact not dampen the anxiety that settles in his chest. 

"Is Zahra still sleeping?" Look at the door of the room that is closed. It is undeniable if the current heart feels heavy when hearing the word farewell from the wife, but also worried about the decision that will be taken later. 

Smile and open the blanket that warms her body.

I'm sorry, Za.

Aidin who almost stood up sat back down and grabbed his hair. Suddenly, his head felt dizzy. Cold sweat poured through his pores until the shirt wrapped in his body was soaked. 

Why do I have headaches lately?

Almost a week Aidin felt strange on his body. His reduced appetite is also often restless and unable to sleep, whether it is because of the state of his household or others, he is reluctant to check.

Nearly fifteen minutes of the pain disappeared. Aidin dragged his feet, took the water and gulped it down. He sat for a while in the dining room, after which he went to the room. 

Unlike usual who always rotate the study at dawn, the room was quiet. Zahra seemed calm sitting on the balcony leading to the city center. 

"What's right here?" Aidin opened the balcony door wide. He approached Zahra who was busy reading the mushaf. 

Zahra simply lifted up her mushaf without wanting to say anything.

"Why don't you rotate your studies?" Aidin's voice sounded timid. 

"I don't have a data package, I forgot to buy it yesterday" Zahra replied. 

"Will there be wi-fi?"

Zahra just shrugged, actually he was just lazy because he never cared, not for the reason said earlier.

Aidin came in and sat down on the edge of the bed. Grab his phone and type something. Shortly after, Zahra's cell phone rang. 

Zahra came in and checked her flat. Glanced at Aidin at a glance and put down his phone again. 

"I never asked to buy a data package."

Aidin only smiled faintly staring at the intensely beautiful Zahra naturally. 

As usual, she continued her morning activities as a housewife. Passing Aidin who is still at home on the edge of the bed. I don't want to say hello to that guy.

"Take it not from me, but from Iqbal."

"Can't do it dong."

Zahra took two pieces of fifty thousand coins from her wallet and thrust them in front of Aidin.

"What money?" Aidin just looked at it without even touching it.

"Respair for the data packets that go into my phone."

Aidin just held back a laugh. "It's still a little less, check it again." One step closer.

Zahra chose to leave, afraid of being swept away by her feelings.
