Dad For Aisyah

The dag dig dug.

In bed Liha fidgetily imagined the no-no. Perhaps Abu's life in this city was not as good as the villagers thought. Liha knew from her best friend Moon that Abu was the best man the Moon had ever known. But Liha did not just believe if she did not see her own. Naturally, because Liha had never known each other the man who was always called Ustadz, until now became her husband.

"Astagfirrullah's..." Liha istighfar because she was prejudiced. Liha also tried to sleep.

***********

At the dispensary at 12pm, Abu opened his eyes, when his ears heard a noise. He turned to the source of the voice on the sofa next door, it turns out Udin is still playing the game there.

"Astagfirrullah... What time is it?" He glanced at the watch, his eyes widened when time was too late.

"So why, so surprised?" udin asked, stopping the game, turning to look at Abu who had woken up quickly. Because it is not strange for them if it is too late to close the drugstore, it is not uncommon to stay at the pharmacy. But this time Udin caught the regret on Abu's face.

"I have to go home Din" Abu went to the bathroom. Not long after returning with a wet face looks finished washing your face.

"No need to go home, brother, it's already midnight anyway, brother why the hell?" search Udin.

"My wife's son is waiting for Din" Abu said, grab the keys and get out.

"Hahaha.kak Abu nglindur, hahaha..." Udin bitterly chased after Abu's steps while holding the arm of the man who was already like his own brother.

"Review Din! I was in a hurry" Abu took off Udin's hand, which held back his steps.

"Sister don't go, brother, could be dangerous, Kak Abu is slipping" prevent Udin chasing until the parking lot of the motorbike.

"What's up, sir?" ask the security guard who guards the pharmacy.

"It's okay sir," replied Abu then starter motor then speed, leaving Udin who was still dumbfounded. It seems like Brother Abu is not delirious but why did he mention the wife's child?

Not wanting to take a headache, Udin went inside and went to sleep. Tomorrow morning I'll ask again.

While Abu slows down the speed of his motorbike because the road is quite quiet. If he doesn't control it, driving in the middle of the night can be dangerous.

Soon Abu finally arrived home, pushed the fence, and opened the garage, entering the two-wheeler. Then close the fence back.

Abu rushed to unlock the door so as not to disturb the sleep of Liha and the princess. But it can not, because inside there is still a key that hangs.

Tok tok tok tok

Ashes knocked on the door, three times footsteps were heard. Abu took a deep breath and apologized for realizing his mistake.

Check it!

The door is open. Appearing beautiful woman, caught the face of the woman is not okay.

"Assynoltom..."

"Valaydreams..."

With no disrespect to Liha's husband kissed the back of Abu's hand. Before turning back without saying a word.

"Liha. I'm..." Abu did not continue his words because Liha had already moved away and re-entered the room.

Ashes followed as he passed the dinner table, he remembered that this morning he had promised Liha to have lunch together.

Ashes open the serving cover, the dish still has not been touched, guilt dominates. There was a desire to invite Liha to eat, along with her footsteps towards the door of the room.

"Liha... We eat yuk... You must be hungry?"

Tok to tok.

There is no word from within, Abu undoes his intention rather than awaken the Ice.

The ash stores the cooking into a new refrigerator and then goes into the room itself. Bathing is the goal, although almost in the morning it feels very sticky body.

Abu finally slept for two hours because at 4 am he woke up, bathed and prepared to go to the mosque.

Wearing a sacrifice and a sadjadah draped over his shoulders. It's amazingly cool that guy. Only a foolish woman rejects her charms including the Moon and Liha. With slow steps so as not to disturb the sleep of his wife and son Abu went to the mosque.

"Assalamualaikum to wb..." Abu said hello to the three fathers who were in the mosque.

"Waalaikumsalam.." replied the three fathers. Not many pilgrims present because the dawn adhan has not reverberated.

"Bang Abu said to come home, when will he come back here?" ask hajj sir.

"So morning Mr. Haji..." Abu shook the hands of the three elders.

"Sir rt, I mean to come to your house, when do you have time?" ask Abu.

"I am the successful unemployed Bang Abu, whenever you will come I am always at home," rt chuckled.

"What is Bang Abu? It seems so important?" hajj sir chimed in.

"I came home yesterday to be married to a neighbor of the Hajj sir, so I intend to give thanks so as not to slander," Abu intends to introduce Liha to the surrounding residents.

"Oh, good idea, congratulations Bang Abu" the three fathers shook Abu's hand. End the conversation because the dawn has come.

With a mesmerizing voice Abu proclaimed the dawn adhan.

*********

At home, after dawn prayers Liha rolled up her pajamas up to her elbows, and rolled up her pants to her knees. With Liha scrubbing board wash clothes.

"Liha... Are you here? I say hello you did not answer" said Abu softly.

"Don't hear" Liha replied shortly.

"You don't have to wash Liha. Let me do it, '" Abu crouched behind Liha.

Liha did not reply to keep grinding clothes without looking back.

"Sorry Liha. yesterday afternoon I did not have time to go home, because the pharmacy was crowded, so I helped Udin" Abu also told last night of fatigue to finally fall asleep in the pharmacy. But Liha kept silent.

"Yes, I warm your cooking and we will have breakfast together" Abu moved.

"It's been trite!" ketus Liha's.

"Of course not Liha, I've put it in the refrigerator really"

Ash warms cooking. Liha continued washing. A while later Abu washed the dishes along with Liha who just finished drying clothes of course there was no sun. At least laundry is tiris.

"Let me do the dishes," Liha stood beside Abu who was rubbing the frying pan with coir.

"No need Liha, you are tired of washing clothes, thank you, you have washed my dirty clothes," Abu smiled glancing at Liha next to him this time they were close together.

Ash stopped his hand rubbing the frying pan. Staring fixed face reddish white, lashes pliable without mascara, nose pointed, and natural red lips. If the man looked at Liha would not have expected, that he already had a child.

Deg deg deg

Ash's heart was racing.

Liha realized that Abu stopped his hand from rubbing the frying pan. Liha looked up at the face of Abu who was looking at her. Liha lowered her head then moved away from the place intending to copy the wet clothes due to washing.

Abu smilingly looked at Liha from behind until he entered the room.

...SERIATE....
