Hijab And Waiting

Andre's Birthday Birthday

That day Diana begged Andre to bring her home. Because he didn't want to make the whole family worry about him. Andre could not refuse the request of the girl he loved so much. Time shows at 19:00. Diana is escorted by Andre to her house. Oma and the others were not suspicious of Diana.

"Mbak, where by her?" Ask Ifan the youngest.

"Oh..iya.it..ehm missed in his bag Maryam. Tomorrow I'll take it, yeah," Maryam replied forced to lie so they don't suspect.

"Mbak, what's the place? No exclamation?" Kevin followed nimbrung.

"Seru really deck. There is a haunted house," Diana also told her sister about the haunted house rides because that's all she had time to explore.

After that Diana went to the bathroom to clean herself and immediately prepared to perform the worship as usual. Diana felt her body was very tired. His mind was also very chaotic. He threw his body violently into the bed.

"What other trials are these. Who wants to be the same Andre. Oh, I am the same widower. I don't think there are any virgins" said Diana herself as she stared at the sky in her room. Shortly after, Diana's phone rang. The screen of the phone is named Andre. Actually he was lazy to lift her, but eventually he raised the call lazily.

"Assalamualaikum Mas" said Diana as she picked up her phone.

"Waalaikumsalam, Diana how are you? Have you taken the vitamins yet?" Ask Andre worried.

"No, yet" Diana replied briefly.

"Have not eaten yet? Take his vitamin dong," said Andre again.

"Yes Mas" said Diana again briefly.

"Yes, if you have a good break, have a good dream" said Andre before ending the phone.

Actually he still wanted to linger long chatting with Diana, but the one on the phone seemed unfriendly. Makes Andre feel awkward. Andre sat at his desk staring at the photo of Diana on his phone.

Flashback at the hospital

Diana who was fainting was immediately taken to the ER. Andre was accompanying Diana in the room.

"Suster, please open this girl's hijab for a while, to reduce the heat of her body and again her hijab already looks messy, after 15 minutes please put it back before she regains consciousness," said the Muslim woman who handled Diana.

Andre was so fascinated to see the beauty of Diana's face without a hijab. Her long straight and black hair made her look so dazzling. After the nurse repaired Diana's hair, the nurse put Diana's hijab back on. Andre smiled faintly looking at Diana.

"All his blood pressure and body temperature are still normal sir, you don't need to worry. It's just that this girl just experienced trauma or something that made her depressed so that her heart beat racing faster. If you want, you can check it out in more detail tomorrow to a heart specialist" said the doctor.

Andre just nodded slowly. Then the doctor came out of the room. Andre was still looking at Diana's pale face, gently stroking Diana's hand. He knew very well that in a conscious state Diana would not be able to touch. He held Diana's hand.

"Diana, I'm sorry. I promise I will make you happy. So it was my wife Diana. I'm sure you're a good girl who is God's destiny for me" said Andre Lirih.

**********

This morning Diana was preparing to return to work as usual. Actually, he still feels unwell, but he is very sad if he has to ask for leave from Bu Lani who is always nice to him. Diana looked neat with a mocca-colored hijab and a black skirt suit.

Arriving at Bu Lani's house, Diana rushed straight to the kitchen. Bu Lani was done shopping, but this time Bu Lani prepared more food than usual.

"There's so much food, ma'am. Do you have any events today?" ask Diana.

"Oh, later in the afternoon Andre invited his office friends to have lunch at the home son, because today Andre's birthday," said Ms. Lani.

"Oh yes ma'am," said Diana briefly and immediately held her job as usual.

"Let's ask for help you pick up Miko ya Diana," said Ms. Lani again.

"Yes ma'am," Diana replied with a nod.

Diana swiftly helped Bu Lani concoct the ingredients to be cooked. Until finally time has shown the clock of Miko's school. Bu Lani also told Diana to immediately go to pick up Miko. Diana went on a Bu Lani motorcycle. Just a few minutes Diana had arrived at Miko's school, looking Miko had just come out of the school gate.

"Sir Diana. Come on!" miko said while holding Diana's hand.

Diana took the boy with her pleasure. When the new motor was turned on by Diana, someone called out to her.

"Diana...Diana..," cried Hafiz from the school gate as she walked quickly towards Diana.

"Yes, what's wrong?" ask Diana.

"May I stop by your house this afternoon?" ask Hafiz.

"Where are you brother, um...Diana did not know what time she would be home. You see today at Miko's house there is an event. So Diana had to help her mama Miko," Diana replied honestly.

"But you let me play to your house, right?" ask Hafiz again.

"Indeed, Hafiz's sister wants to go home even without Diana?" Diana tried to ensure Hafiz's sincerity.

"Why not?! I even have a need with Oma" said Hafiz, smiling cheerfully.

"Yes, then, Diana will try to go home quickly" said Diana before leaving Hafiz.

Diana and Miko arrived home. Diana immediately helped Miko change clothes. Then back to the kitchen.

"Diana, can I ask you something not about your personal matters?" said Bu Lani.

"Ask ma'am, it's okay ma'am" said Diana.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" bu Lani's question made Diana a little shocked.

"Ehm....Diana never dated ma'am," Diana replied honestly.

"Congratulations thank God ma'am. Why the hell?" diana asked in wonder.

"Mother wants you to be her daughter-in-law, mother Lani said without hesitation.

"uhuk...uhuk..," Diana was like choking on something when she was not eating anything. He immediately took a glass of water and drank it.

"Are you okay, son?" ma'am Lani said as she watched Diana's face change.

"No ma'am, it's okay" said Diana.

"So you don't want to be a mother's ghost?" ask Lani again.

"Ehm....Diana was not ready to marry young ma'am" said Diana.

While they were talking, Andre arrived home from the office.

"Assalamualaikum ma," said Andre who went straight into the kitchen.

"Cock-a-bit home, son?" ask Bu Lani.

"After all the work, Andre asked for permission to go home early ma. Where do you know mama needs Andre's help to prepare later," said Andre while staring at Diana.

"You are talking to my mother but what Diana saw, how the hell," said Ms. Lani with a light laugh.

"Mama what the hell," said Andre as he passed.

The clock has shown at 13:00. All the food was neatly arranged on the dining table. Andre's friend had also gathered on the porch of the house. Among Andre's friends was someone who was watching Diana.

"Ndre, that sweet girl is your sister well, you want to be familiar with dong," said Rifki jahil.

"About you say. That's my future wife, don't be like that" said Andre firmly.

"Damn you, already want to be married twice, find dong for me," joked Rifki again.

Diana takes the phone from her bag and sends a message to Andre to wish him a happy birthday, as he hesitates to say it in person.

Barakallah fii umrik Mas Andre's.

Best wishes to Andre.

May Allah always protect Mas Andre and grant all the dreams of Mas Andre.

Sorry I can't handle anything.

Andre opened his phone that rang. A message came in from Diana. Not opening it yet Andre is very happy. Especially after he read it was a birthday greeting from the girl he loved. His heart was so flowery. He also replied to that message.

Thanks Diana.

Loved you.

Diana opened the reply message from Andre and immediately washed her lips.

'What kind of answer is this? Pake says dear all' Diana grumbled in heart.

In the middle of the event, there arrived an uninvited guest. She is Meli, Andre's ex-wife.

"Hello all. Hi baby, happy birthday. Here I bring you a gift" said Meli spoiled while holding Andre's hand.

"It turns out you still have a face ya come here," said Andre hatefully.

"Honey, I will remember that today is your birthday," said Meli still not embarrassed.

"Why did you come here? I hope you get out of this house soon, because we did not invite you to this event," said Bu Lani no less.

Diana watched the woman from the kitchen. The woman who had been rude to him the other day. He remembered once, even still leaving a wound in his heart.

"Mother is the same Meli, however Meli has also been a daughter-in-law in this family," said Meli proudly.

"That was before, but now things are different," said Bu Lani again.

Finally there was a debate between them until finally Andre managed to expel Meli from the house. Diana breathed a sigh of relief while sitting at the kitchen table. Andre who went into the kitchen noticed Diana. Again he felt guilty for the actions of Meli the other day that hurt Diana.
