"Bie... Abi why? Is Abi upset with Ummi?" I asked as soon as we got home.
"No. Abi's not upset."
"If Abi is not upset where does Abi's charming smile disappear? Ahhhh... Yes, Ummi knows. Abi's smile must have been left at Papa's house. Aye, right?"
Finally my efforts to comfort Abi Fazila were not in vain. His face again carved a smile. He clasped my fingers tightly while thrusting the small box he took out of his pocket.
"What's this?" I asked with round eyes.
"Abi doesn't know. The box was from Oma Ochi, he said it was a blessing to Ummi."
Just as I was preparing to open the small box that was in my hand, three women entered from the front door carrying bags of clothes, behind him walked four men as well.
"Sorry sir is interrupting!" Greet the middle-aged woman standing in front of me. Abi Fazila who was greeted could only nod his head.
"My wife will explain what your duties are. The order you have to do, you are in my house, and you must follow all the rules that are in my forging. You understand?"
"Good, sir." Reply to the seven people in front of me. After saying what he wanted to say, Abi Fazila immediately left, walking slowly up the stairs while carrying his serious face.
Was he always that serious? I don't know, I'm not sure about that myself. A month at his side and spending time together doesn't necessarily make me know him as much. Let's see, soon Abi Fazila's attitude will certainly appear on the surface, I pray that he really is a good person, not a person who pretends to be good.
"Mbok can go straight into the room, the room is at the end of this hallway. I have cleaned his room and I have also changed his sheets, Mbok can immediately rest.
And for the four of you, your room is on the left side of this hallway, just as I said before, your room has been cleaned, the sheets have also been changed. You can just take a break. If you are hungry, you can cook for yourself. Everything you need is in that fridge and that table." My words explain at length.
"Thank you for the kindness of the Madam." Said the seven people in front of me.
Honestly, the Madam said sounded very strange in my sense of hearing. I want to laugh but I am afraid of sin. I want to be proud of myself unfortunately I have nothing, because everything in front of me right now is a deposit from the Power, a deposit that can be taken at any time.
"Alright, I'll go up now." Say me again. After that I headed upstairs.
In Abi Fazila's room, sitting pensively on the side of the bed, he supported his head with his right hand. Sometimes I hear the sound of his rough breathing. I don't know what he was thinking until it broke.
I walked up to him and sat on his left side. His body still did not react even though I had touched his shoulder. Now I'm sure he must be in big trouble.
Does he have any problems in his office? If that's true. Too bad I won't be able to do anything because it's not my field.
"What's wrong? Ummi noticed that Abi looked upset, was there a problem?"
"Nothing!" Reply Abi Fazila briefly.
Hearing her answer I could only nod slowly, of course I could not believe it. Even if I knew that, I had to pretend that I was okay. Now that my name is tied to his, every wound and sorrow is mine too.
"Where are you going?" Abi Fazila asked as I moved from beside her.
"Where else are you going? Of course Ummi must go to the bathroom, ablution, pray Isya, then sleep." My reply was short while smiling.
"Sit. Just for a second, Abi needs a friend. A friend talks."
"Talking friends? What's up?" This time I asked with round eyes. In my mind there were many questions, for some reason my speech was just clenched on the lips, seeing the sadness that emanated from Abi Fazila's sense of sight made me feel deep sadness.
How do I comfort her? What should I do to restore her smile? I muttered in my heart while patting her shoulder slowly.
...***...
"Don't know why, Abi suddenly felt a tremendous fear.
It was as if there would be great sadness coming over to greet my happy life. Really, all this time Abi never felt this much fear.
It felt... It feels like my life is in my esophagus. I think I'm going to die. L'm... I cannot describe the magnitude of the fear that struck my heart.
My words were stuck in my throat as Ummi Fazila started to hug me, he patted me gently on the shoulder. There was a calmness that began to gently caress my heart. Having a partner as good as Ummi Fazila is an amazing gift. Everything in him can always make my fret evaporate.
Her caresses, her soft sayings, her smiles, her hugs. Everything is my source of strength, this is why the world is so much adorned, and the best jewelry in the world is the wife of the Shalihah.
"Today Abi's heart seemed to be torn apart, Abi's heart was like a thorn, even until this moment Abi still felt the same pain, pain as it was yesterday afternoon."
"Ummi did not know what Abi was hiding in Abi's heart and mind, not because Ummi was stupid, just that Ummi could not guess every thing that Abi tried to hide. From today Abi must be honest with Abi's feelings, so that Ummi can help Abi." Reply Ummi Fazila quietly while cupping my sad face.
"Ummi Know today? Today Abi's chest was pounding very hard, knowing that there were bad people following Sabina and Fazila upset Abi. It felt like Abi wanted to make the brash man into small pieces and throw him in the middle of the ocean, then Abi realized, violence is not the way that Islam shows."
For a moment, I was silent. I looked at Ummi Fazila with a smile. My fingers clasped tightly onto his fingers. Not a word came out of her thin lips, and she was not the type of detractor woman. Patiently Ummi Fazila waited for what speech would come out of my next speech.
"Abi does not want today's incident to repeat itself, therefore Abi decided, starting tomorrow Ummi and Fazila will be guarded by Bodyguard. Whether Ummi agrees or not Abi will still do it." My words confirmed.
Hhmmmmm!
I started to breathe rough. We've been together for a month, see me? I look like a cruel husband who imposes his will on his beautiful wife.
I should what? This is the only path my brain can think of. I couldn't even look at Ummi Fazila's face, I was too afraid to look at her disappointed face.
"Do. Do whatever Abi wants. Ummi believed every decision Abi took. Never forget this, as long as it is good, Ummi and Fazila will always stand by Abi's side." Said my Fatimah in a soft voice, she hugged me from behind, a hug that managed to make my confidence rise again.
I pulled Ummi Fazila and buried her in my arms, leaning her head against the chest of my field. In retrospect, I had never seen Ummi Fazila's hair directly, her head always wrapped in a head covering. I asked for that myself.
I asked her not to rush into this relationship, after everything that happened in the past I wanted Ummi Fazila to enjoy her time without having to be afraid of me. And see the fruit of my patience? Now that Ummi Fazila began to open her heart to me, there was nothing more I wanted in this world than to see my Angel and my dearest daughter feel the happiness they had never felt before.
"alright. Enough romantic moments. Can Ummi ask?"
"Ask whatever Ummi wants!" Reply to me while tightening my embrace on her slender body.
"What time is it?"
"Nine night's hour." Reply to me while glancing at my wrist.
"We must pray Isha and then sleep. Ummi doesn't want to lose to the rooster."
Haha... Our laughter sounds at each other. 'Don't want to lose to the rooster' that remark really tickled my stomach, for a moment I was back in the past, somehow a hundred times I had lost to the rooster, the rooster, for a moment, I always wake up when the Sun begins to shine, let alone think of the Fajr Prayer, I don't even remember that I was a Muslim.
Now I'm beginning to realize that being a true Muslim is not just what's on a small card. There are obligations that must be fulfilled and prohibitions that must be kept away.
...***...
Time is 10:30. Three hours have passed since I left my Fatimah at home, and now I miss her so much.
I couldn't focus on working, longing filled every pore of my body. And this makes me frustrated.
Should I go home? What would I say if he asked me why I came home when working hours weren't over? Ahhhh... What cares about me. I can go home whenever I want, in this place I am the ruler, no one will dare to ask me where I am going and will do what. I rummaged in my heart while staring at the laptop that was still on.
Just as I was getting out of my seat wearing a suit, my netra was immediately pointed towards the door leaf. I don't know who came in when I didn't want to see anyone but my Fatimah. The effect of being a newlywed, not a second passes without longing for the beautiful charm of the beautiful Angel.
"Good day, boss. Some martial arts men like the Boss asked are here." Said Klima as soon as he entered my office.
Ahhh... I forget. I have to choose some martial arts men as Bodyguard Ummi Fazila and also my beautiful daughter as long as I am nowhere near them. I muttered as I took off my new coat.
"Send them in. Where's Bobby?" I asked because I didn't see the shadow.
Iklima did not have time to answer my words, the tall and sturdy figure entered my office after knocking on the door followed by eight burly men with muscles that do not need to be doubted. I felt that I was not choosing Bodyguard for my loved ones but was choosing a model for my Company Brand. Their bodies and faces looked like models with a Million Dollar fee for a single shot.
