A week passed the departure of Umi, Grief is still very much felt. Shaina, who is also very sad, has not yet returned to England. Shaina lives with Nisa as well as Arka and his wife, while Alif has to go back and forth because he has to take care of his business.
Arka is back to living her life as usual, Arka has returned to the office.
Clearly the look on his face was still very sad, Arka was not as happy as usual. Joseph and Rio they were well aware of it all.
A stunned arch looked out the window. Her pliers folded on the chest.
"One by one this power is lost" said Arka slowly
As Arka drew closer to the window, he opened the window, letting the afternoon air greet his body. Arka then shouted as loudly as possible, making all who heard shocked.
"Sir Arka why?" whispers of employees who accidentally pass in his room
Suddenly Rio went inside, without knocking on the door first. He knew Arka was still very sad, Rio was afraid that Arka would do something no-no.
"Arka.." said Rio who was surprised to see Arka in front of the window like that
"What are you gonna do?" rio asked curiously and then pulled Arka's hand
Arka walked lazily and sat in her big chair.
"Why is life like this! Why are those who strengthen me taken quickly.. Why!" said Arka with a cry that began to drip
Rio then approached Arka's body in the seat.
"Istigfar Ark.. God loves you, He wants you to be closer to him.. Come onl.. Don't think negativity" Rio said trying to calm down
"english? Remembrance remain!" arka said again in her tears
Rio saw the tremendous sadness from Arka's countenance. Rio hugged Arka, while also being sad, his eyes started to tear up.
"Make me back as a WNI, I don't want to be a British Citizen anymore, I won't be living there anymore" Arka said after releasing her arms from Rio and wiping her tears
Rio was stunned at the thought of what Arka meant.
"why?" asked Rio who could not understand Arka
"Because of what I live there for, while my family is no longer there" replied Arka with a blank look
Rio was inexhaustible with Arka's words, Rio felt a heavy down inside Arka, the son of his best friend and his superior.
Rio did not directly follow Arka's wishes.
"Please calm your mind and heart" Rio said and left Arka in his room.
*****
40 Days have passed, Arka and Nisa can pass through the grief of the departure of Omanya.
Likewise with Zahra, now he is a little relaxed, at home no longer have to take care and accompany Oma. While Nisa likes to fill out studies and have more activities.
Arka had just come home from work, she looked very tired, then sat on the sofa of her room while loosening her tie and shirt.
Zahra, who had just kept Arka's briefcase, returned and sat down next to her husband.
"Mas.take a drink first" said Zahra as she offered a glass of ready drinking water at the table.
"Thank you dear." said Arka then received a glass from his wife's hand
"Oh yes Mas, I'm always lonely at home if you work and Mom fills out the study." said Zahra while gathering her courage
"Can I go with you, or can I teach you again?" continue, said Zahra after gathering his courage
"I don't want you teaching that school anymore, which is that obscure guy!" said Arka with her jutek
Zahra just smiled she knew her husband was jealous.
"You just go with Mom, or you don't always come to my office during lunchtime we eat together.. If you want from the morning also can.." continued Arka said while embracing his wife with a joking tone at the end
"Heemm Mas this. would like to be accompanied yaa" said Zahra reply mocked her husband.
"I miss you." said Arka then kissed his wife's forehead
"My sholeha wife." continued Zahra
"Mas ihh shower first there.. Your body is sticky" said Zahra with a smile expands, mocked Arka joking
"Belvin.. Sticky also remains your husband" replied Arka even more tightly hugging Zahra
Zahra laughed and enjoyed the embrace of her husband.
The day changed, the sun was starting to say hello. Zahra who had asked Arka for permission will now join her mother-in-law to fill out a study at a boarding school. The Ark will work as usual.
Zahra was preparing breakfast at the dinner table, having prepared her husband's needs in the room. Before long Arka came down with a radiant face.
"Good morning to my wife." said Arka who began to act sweetly again to his wife
"Good morning mas." replied Zahra actually with shame because there is Ijah and Rani who must have heard it too
Arka sat down for breakfast, followed by Zahra. Nisa had breakfast together.
"Mas, Zahra's permission to come with me." said Zahra after finishing her breakfast
"Yes dear. later I will pick up yaa" replied Arka agreed to everything.
Nisa just smiled happily seeing the child and her daughter-in-law were fine.
Arka leaves for the office in her car, while Nisa and Zahra ride in the car with the driver.
Arriving at the boarding school, Nisa who had been waiting directly entered into a hall room where many people had gathered. Zahra accompanied her mother-in-law, and sat behind her mother-in-law.
During the event, Zahra could not bear to urinate. He decided to go to the toilet. The event is very lively because there is also a charity bazaar from the creative santri in the ponpes. After the toilet, Zahra decided to briefly look at the bazaar. Accidentally driven by the crowd of students and students who were so enthusiastic about seeing the painting bazaar, Zahra so encouraged someone who was in front of him.
"Astagfirulah.. Sorry I didn't mean it" Zahra said in a panic
The man immediately turned his head towards the back that was pushing his back.
"It's okay." she replied quickly
"Sir Arfan.." said Zahra so gasp
"Sorry sir.. What are you doing here?" zahra asked very curious
"I'm taking students to this charity bazaar. What are you doing yourself? Don't you not teach anymore?" ask Arfan to ask
"Well, I know, you miss teaching, don't you?" continue Arfan said directly without letting Zahra answer first
Zahra became silent, she was confused by this person in front of her.
"Let's come with me, you must miss the students" continued Arfan and walked first to invite Zahra to meet his students
Zahra was greeted enthusiastically by the students she had taught. Zahra embraced them all warmly, painstakingly holding back her tears.
Zahra said goodbye to them all for fear that she might seek him out. All let Zahra go, Arfan did not just release Zahra, he continued to follow Zahra who would re-enter the hall through the side door.
"Zahra wait." said Arfan stopped Zahra's footsteps
Zahra turned her head after she felt ready to meet face to face again after she wiped her tears
"You haven't answered my question, what are you doing here? Are we not teaching anymore?" arfan asked, his voice soft
"Yes, I have not taught for a long time, I am here to accompany my mother-in-law on a study tour" Zahra replied honestly
"Mother-in-law?" arfan said, repeating Zahra's words, feeling disbelief
"Yes, that's my mother-in-law.. My husband's mother" Zahra replied, pointing to a banner bearing the name of her mother-in-law
Arfan agitated when he heard all that, he did not believe that the husband of the Zahra bule was the son of a famous ustadzah.
In other places, now lunch hour, as Arka promised he would pick up the mother and his wife.
Arka prepared to leave, and told her that she had come home earlier today to Rio and Yusuf.
Arka then drove his car quickly, to get to the ponpes immediately. Arriving at the event venue, Arka then parked his car right next to the door of the Hall where the event was. Arka saw Arfan with Zahra, quickly got out of his car, and walked slowly to hear the man's words.
"This is a memento for you, accepted yaa" said Arfan handed over a caricature painting with the face of Zahra in the school environment
"I know you miss teaching so much, if you were married to me at that time, I wouldn't forbid you from continuing to teach, because teaching is also very noble, right?" arfan said in a soft voice
Arka heard everything, her anger began to rise, with wide strides she approached Zahra and Arfan.
"Isn't a wife her best job in her house? Her highest payment is her husband's ridho?" suddenly Arka's words startled Arfan and Zahra
"Mas." said Zahra, holding Arka's hand, Zahra knew her husband must be very angry
"Suppose your attitude towards people's wives! Don't let your self-esteem be lowered! Don't make you accept the curse from me!" arka was full of emphasis with her hands pointing towards Arfan
Arfan was silent because he did not expect the presence of Arka.
"Mas, it's Mas.. Let's go" said Zahra, trying to calm the situation
"Once again I see you can't keep an attitude towards my wife, see what I can do for you!" said Arka again with full of emotion, while fixing the Jas that look neat in the frame
Zahra was so frightened to see her angry husband, she hugged Arka's arm from behind.
Arfan so speechless, he was so gasp at Arka's words, he could not believe that Arka the Caucasian man whom he considered a weak man, now saw his fangs.
Arka did not get into the hall building, he went back into his car, Zahra followed from behind.
Arka then drove her car, left the ponpes. In the car the atmosphere became very awkward, Arka drove his car very quickly, he was still carried away by emotions.
"Baby, istigfar.. The husband I know is patient.. Istigfar Mas.." said Zahra with fear.
Arka did not answer his wife's words.
Arka stopped her car at an artificial lake, then hit the strand with a bang and screamed a little.
"Aargha!" shouted Arka
Zahra was more and more afraid of her husband, Arka got out of the car and walked closer to the lake.
Zahra was still silent in the car she remembered her mother-in-law, she was afraid Nisa was looking for her. Zahra immediately sent a short message to Nisa.
"Mom, Zahra went home first with Mas Arka. The driver is still waiting. Mother carefully walked yaaa" said Zahra's message sent to Nisa, which she typed as fast as she could
Zahra put her phone back in the bag, followed her husband down from the car and approached the lake.
"Mas.." said Zahra with fear
Arka turned her head towards Zahra, then hugged her very tightly.
"I'm sorry.. Sorry" said Arka whispering in his wife's ear
"I'm emotional.. Astagfirullah.. Sorry for scaring you" he said again and looked into his wife's eyes
"I'm sorry.. I accidentally met him earlier, I tried to avoid it, but he followed me, then.." said Zahra stopped when Arka put her index finger on Zahra's lips blocked by the veil
Arka then took the painting in Zahra's hand, then threw it into the lake. Zahra gasped at her husband's behavior.
"I'm sorry I'm so jealous" Arka said after throwing the not-so-big painting
Zahra just threw a smile at her husband. Zahra was happy because her husband was jealous
