Do not stop asking for care from the Almighty. We are only weak people.

Two days passed, Zahra passed through the details of time without Egi on the side. The longing is mounting. Egi's attitude at the airport still leaps in the eye. Makes her desire become more.
Today should have gone home on schedule. Zahra busied herself all day. He went to college and got together with friends as usual.
As the day wore on, Zahra returned home in a taxi. The body is tired, not yet a feeling of nausea that somehow since the morning difficult to be driven. Gawai Zahra rang, Egi's name clearly visible. Zahra grabbed the phone and immediately picked it up.
"As'salamualaikum, my wife." Egi's voice rang in Zahra's ear.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas." Zahra slightly shuddered at the warm voice of her husband.
"Are you home?"
"No, Mas. It's still on the road."
"How are you doing today?"
"I'm good, Mas." Zahra closed her eyes for a moment, trying to neutralize the unpleasant feelings since the departure of her husband.
"Thank God. I'm glad to hear it," said Egi. "My flight's in two hours, maybe I'll reach your parents' house by night. Papa's gone home first."
"Why not go home together?"
"There's still a little business to be done here."
"All right." Zahra.
"Honey, I'm going to sleep a little while I wait for the Maghrib. My body is tired, I miss you. As'salamualaikum." Egi just closed the phone without waiting for Zahra to answer. Maybe sleepiness has weakened him.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." Zahra keeps the phone back where it was.
Zahra's heart was agitated, Egi's last words were soul-stirring. Like a farewell. As much as Zahra's energy expels negative thoughts. She was sure God was looking after her husband.
Zahra in front of the house. He got out of the taxi and paid the fare. Rey just got out of the cab in front of the house too. Zahra immediately approached, kissing her Papa's hand.
"Your husband will be home soon" Rey said.
"Yes, Pa."
"Come in, change your clothes and get ready to pray Mahgrib."
Zahra nodded. Step inside and say hello. Mona welcomes him, telling him that dinner this time has Zahra's favorite menu.
"Thank you, Mah. If so, Zahra to the room first," added Zahra.
Zahra climbed the stairs one by one towards her room. He can't wait for the night to come. The encounter with Egi became the moment he was looking forward to.
After cleaning himself, the Maghrib made a roar. Zahra joined in his small mosque, then performed the congregation's Maghrib prayers. Prayer strands do not forget he promised for the safety and convenience of the husband there.
Salad done. Rey and Mona take Zahra to dinner. They talk about many things to let go of long-buried longs. Zahra tried to relax her strained heart waiting for time.
When they gathered, Rey got a message. He read it slowly, Rey's face turned worried. Looking at the boy who is laughing with his mother.
"What's up, Pa?" Zahra noticed the change in her papa's face.
"Son, your husband won't be coming home tonight. It turns out that there is still urgent business that must be finished tonight as well" Rey said.
Zahra was surprised to hear that. The longing flower that had been in perfect bloom suddenly withered for no reason. His feelings were shattered, annoyance came to say hello.
Mona patted Zahra's back. "You have to understand, honey. Pray, may the husband's business be resolved soon.
Zahra nodded slowly. Tears jostled asking out, they wanted to glide freely on Zahra's cheeks. After hearing that, Zahra went to the room. He is tired, at least sleep can loosen tightness in the chest.
"Sleep, Son. Don't forget to pray Isya and keep praying for your husband's safety" Rey said softly.
One nod of Zahra pierced the heart of her parents. Especially for Mona. He who sees the child trying hard to get through the day. It may sound spoiled to some. However, for some, this is normal. However, when the figure of a husband who is used to being together then goes away, even if it is an instant. At that moment, we felt the world was slow.
Zahra walked lethargicly towards the room. He immediately turned over his body with a position tilted to the left. Pull the blanket up to the chest. Drop by drop of falling tears can not be held. His mixed feelings are difficult to pin down.
Zahra's phone rang a few times, but she wasn't excited enough to see it. Right now he wants to go to dreamland. Forgetting the longing for a moment.
Zahra cried, her gaze sad. Slowly his eyes closed. Room lighting is only from small sleeping lights. Hope, night soon home. Then morning came ready to welcome a new story.
At exactly two in the evening, Zahra's room door opened. Someone came in and closed the door. He approached Zahra, looking into Zahra's puffy eyes. One brief kiss landed on Zahra's forehead. Then the man threw himself beside Zahra and coiled his sturdy hand around her waist.
Like Zahra's wish, night goodbye home. The dawn air burst through the window. He opened his eyes slowly, feeling something strange.
The roar of one's breath sounded in the ears. Zahra's heart pounded, her body stiffened. Could it?
"I know you're awake, honey," said Egi who had actually woken up first. "Sorry, I made you wait."
The heavy sound of a typical waking person rubbing Zahra's ears. There was an electric shock grabbing her. The burly hand was perfectly circular on his waist. Doesn't know when Egi's coming home? However, it was undeniable that his heart was flowery.
"I missed you. After everything was over, I immediately ran to the airport. Luckily there were flights. So, at least a third last night I could hold you tight" Egi continued.
