Before leaving, Afkar permits to KUA if some day this permit is no business. After getting permission, Afkar went straight to the online taxi address to ask for more information.

Arriving at the xxx office, Afkar immediately asked about the license plate of the car that had been boarded by his wife, after being obtained, it turned out that Zhafira went down at the terminal. And, subsequently Afkar lost track.

Afkar will be home soon. Arriving at home, Afkar circulated his gaze, noting that this house felt lonely there was no Zhafira. Afkar immediately went into the room.

In the room, Afkar really felt lost, he missed Zhafira.

‘Where should I look for you, Fir? I miss,’ Inner Afkar.

On the other hand, Zhafira who had just arrived at the house of Maya's aunt, Mama of Syara, Zhafira deliberately lived while in Syara's house.

Zhafira only lives with a domestic assistant who is still assigned work at Aunt Maya's house. Because, even though Syara's parents died. But, the house will be repopulated by Syara if married. So, Bi Wati and her husband, Mang Giman were still asked to guard the house until Syara would return there again.

“Assalamualaikum, Bi, how are you?” ask Zhafira.

“Wa’alaikumussalam, Non Fira .. Ouch, here kok not frenzy first,” reply Bi Wati.

“Iya, Bi, there was a job near here so stop by deh.”

“Bi, I stay here. But, please do not tell Syara, Mama and Papa that Fira is here,” continued Zhafira.

“Good, Non. Immediately I prepare first. Wait a minute,” reply bi Wati who immediately called her husband to help settle the guest room.

Once ready bi Wati also called Zhafira and told him to rest.

Zhafira had finished cleaning and she prayed maghrib. After the prayer, Zhafira was called bi Wati for dinner together.

After dinner, Zhafira entered the room again. At this hour usually Papa and Mama gather.

“I will tell you for a while, later if I don't tell you,” said Zhafira immediately activated his phone and called Papa Fadlan.

When the phone was on, it appeared a row of missed phones and also a row of new messages coming in from her husband.

Intentionally ignored by Zhafira. Then, Zhafira dialed her Papa number.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Pa.”

“ .... ”

“Alhamdulillah Fira new up, do’a Fira job quickly finished yes, Pa.”

“ ... ”

“Udah first yes, Pa. Greetings to Mama and Shara. Assalamu’alaikum, Pa,” said Zhafira ended his call.

On the other hand, it was precisely at Papa Fadlan's house. Afkar, Papa, Mama, and Syara have dinner.

Syara who saw Afkar immediately teased him, “Kak, newlyweds again kangen huh, sister? If you miss your sister call.”

Afkar responded with a smile.

“Oh, yes. Fira have you heard yet, son? Haven't you been?” ask Papa.

“Numbered, Pa. Fira's phone is still not active,” Afkar replied.

“Yaudah, look forward to, in a moment,” said Mama calming.

After dinner, Afkar returned to his room.

Syara, Mama and Papa were sitting in front of the TV. When Afkar wanted to leave, Papa's phone suddenly rang.

“This is finally Fira calling, Ma,” said Papa directly received the call.

Yeah, it turns out Zhafira called. Afkar was silent and listened. Maybe he knows where to go looking for his wife.

“ ... ”

“Wa’alaikumsalam, Nak.”

“ ... ”

“Aamiin, definitely Papa do’akan. You take care of yourself there yes.”

“ ... ”

“Wa’alaikumsalam.”

Papa Fadlan hung up on him and put the phone next to him.

Afkar immediately entered the room and tried to call but Zhafira's phone was not active.

“Yes Allah, give the servant guidance about the servant's wife. Servant does not want to lose him,” inner Afkar.

Then, Afkar lay down his body to sleep. However, his eyes could not be closed.

On the other hand, Zhafira had also tried to sleep since then but could not until the next morning Zhafira fell asleep.

Five days later, while Syara was sitting reading her novel in the living room, Afkar overheard Syara getting a call.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Bi Wati, how are you?”

“ ... ”

“Syara has not had time to go to Mama.”

“ ... ”

“Hah? What, Bi? Brother Fira at Mama's house? More pain?”

“ ... ”

“Oh, okay. Syara's leaving now. Assalamu’alaikum, Bi.” Syara hung up and immediately prepared to leave.

Afkar who heard was shocked, “Yes Allah, Fira is sick. I need to see Fira now.”

Afkar waited for Syara in the car, shortly after Syara came out to order a taxi online.

“Dek, let's take you!” call Afkar to call.

Without saying much, Syara who was in a hurry also immediately entered the car.

On the way, Syara asked Afkar, “Kak, what exactly happened? Not the night before Kak Fira left are you all right?”

“Yes, I don't know either. But, for sure, this is just a misunderstanding. Later let brother meet first with Fira yes, Dek,” Afkar replied embraced by Syara.

A few hours later, they arrived at Maya's house. Syara who is still grieving again feels sad because she remembers her childhood spent in this house.

“Kak Afkar, meet Kak Fira first, Syara wants to be here. Ask to please point to Bi Wati aja yes, Kak.”

Afkar immediately went into the house. Arriving inside the house, Afkar looked for bi Wati who was busy in the kitchen.

“Bi wati, my husband Fira. In which room is my wife, Bi?” ask Afkar politely.

“Oh, yes. Non Fira in the room at the end of it, Den,” Bi Wati replied pointing to one of the rooms.

After saying thank you, Afkar immediately headed to the room occupied by his wife.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

Several times Afkar knocked on the door. However, there is no truth from within. Finally, Afkar ventured to open the door.

Afkar very slowly opened the door and he saw Zhafira sleeping. And for the first time Afkar saw Zhafira without a hijab.

Afkar looked at Zhafira's beautiful face, straight black hair adding to her beauty. Afkar was absolutely blown away.

Afkar got closer and when Afkar touched Zhafira's forehead, he was shocked, “Astaghfirullah, Fir, you have a fever. A minute, Darling.”

Afkar asked Bi Wati to call the doctor. After that Afkar to the room accompanied Zhafira again.

Not long after the doctor came, Zhafira was re-worn hijab by Afkar. The doctor immediately checked.

“Doctor, what happened to my wife?” ask Afkar.

“Gapapa, sir, the wife of the father of soy sauce because it seems some days lack of sleep and lack of food. Here I give you a prescription vitamin and some medicine please at the ransom yes, sir. And, I say back home,” said the Doctor.

“Good, Doctor. Thank you,” reply Afkar received after a paper that has been filled with scribbles of prescription drugs there.

Afkar also asked Mang Giman to buy prescribed drugs. After that, Afkar again waited for Zhafira in the room.

“Honey, why are you like this,” said Afkar rubbed Zhafira's hair. After the doctors left, Afkar again removed Zhafira's hijab.

Zhafira woke up, “Mas, is this really you? Or, am I dreaming?” lirih Zhafira with her voice still raucous. Zhafira stared at Afkar's bead as if he wanted to keep seeing it, not just a dream.
