HUSBAND'S HEART

part 11 THE BEGINNING OF A NEW LIFE

At 03:00 AM local time, Yuana woke up from her sleep. At first he was confused, woke up not in his room, this room was too spacious than the room he used to occupy with Amar. He felt like he woke up in his room first, while still occupying his old house. But isn't that impossible?

A smile immediately rose on his face, as he turned to his side, where he found curly hair covering part of his favorite daughter's face and a hand holding her. Yuana saw that Fatma was hugging Nabila, like seeing her mother who often accompanied Nabila to sleep.

"Thank you, ma'am" Yuana muttered with a smile, not feeling the tears coming in her eyes. He recalled his conversation with Ms. Fatma before going to bed earlier. Many things are discussed, ranging from the chronology of yesterday's accident to the story of Amar and Ilham's friendship. Yuana feels her encounter with Bu Fatma is a remedy for her longing for her mother's figure. A firm yet loving person.

Slowly Yuana got out of bed, went to the bathroom to clean up and berwudlu. Then hold a corner prayer mat to establish tahajud prayer. Four rakaat two greetings he tuned.

After turning her head to the right and to the left while saying her greetings and reciting, Yuana gave her do´a and hope for her husband, for her son, for her.

Unceasingly water flowed from the solvent of his eyes, showing how weak and fragile he was when he confronted the Creator. Her trembling lips incessantly invoke healing for Amar, her husband.

Gently rubbed his half-wet face as he felt a gentle swipe on his shoulder. Yuana turned to face Fatma who was smiling at her. Ms. Fatma who wore the mukena canal that was exposed to the shoulder invited to pray the congregational dawn prayer at the home musholla which was beside the dry kitchen.

"Come jama´ah... Mr. Hadi and Mbok Sari were waiting at the musholla" said Ms. Fatma. Yuana nodded her head and immediately stood up and followed Ms. Fatma to the house musholla not far from the room she occupied last night.

Yuana who did not hear the sound of Adzan glanced at the wall clock that he had passed. The long hour hand points to the number three while the short one leads to the number four. "Astaghfirullah..why don't I hear the voice of Adhan?" yuana Mumbles.

"Here is far from the mosque, so there is no sound of the Adhan. If from the outside or upstairs can only be heard, but sayup-sayup," explained Ms. Fatma who heard Yuana's murmur. "Later get used to it too" he continued.

Once at the musholla, Yuana immediately held a prayer rug next to the prayer mat of Bu Fatma. It was seen that Mr. Hadi was standing, preparing to pray the congregational dawn prayer. Prayer is performed with wisdom, followed by recitation and prayer. End with a prayer dedicated to Inspiration and Amar.

"After this get ready yes, we leave early. To Nak Yuana's house we used to have breakfast near Raya Husada," said Ms. Fatma when folding the mukena she had just used.

"Well, ma'am.. oh yeah, Annisa's coming later, right?" answer Mr. Hadi.

"Yes.maybe the plane landed at a watch. You just pick us up right after we're in the hospital. Sar. You prepared Nisa's room. Cook as usual.Perhaps we do not eat at home," Ms. Fatma answered Mr. Hadi's question and continued to give the task to Mbok Sari.

When Yuana returned to the room, Nabila was awake. Yuana immediately bathed Nabila and made her a bottle of milk. After preparing, Yuana immediately brought Nabila to sit on the sofa of the family room which was right in front of the guest room.

Mom Fatma looked down from the top floor, walking slowly towards Yuana and Nabila. "Waaah Nabila is beautiful.. has a bath baby?" greet Bu Fatma on Nabila.

"Already Buti... When you have a bath, already mik milk," replied Nabila innocently. Ms. Fatma sat next to Yuana, smiling as she stroked Nabila's hair.

"Since I used to love children.So since my company was transferred to Ilham, I often accompany Annisa. Had Ilham been married at that time, he might have had a baby by now."

"The car is ready, ma'am" said Mr. Hadi as soon as he entered the room.

"Well. Come on Yuana, let's go."

Ms. Fatma who was opening the car door, saw Yuana watching the bag she was carrying.

"What's wrong? This is a limited edition lhooo. Before mom came home, Zein bought her yesterday at a boutique near her outlet" Ms Fatma said as she showed Yuana the bag she was holding.

"Starla Collection?" yuana asked to make sure.

"Eh... How does Nak Yuana know?" sahut Bu Fatma while closing the door when both of them were sitting in the car cabin. While Nabila who did not make a sound from earlier turned out to be asleep again while slinging in Yuana's sling.

"That's my design Ma'am," Yuana replied blushingly. He is happy if the design is something he likes.

"Waaah kereeeen. hmm Nak Yuana must be acquainted with Annisa's sister Ilham. Maybe you can work together later. Surely he is cool," said Ms. Fatma enthusiastically. Yuana who heard could only smile and nod her head.

Mr. Hadi who was driving a car seemed to occasionally glance at the small rearview mirror in front of him to see the interaction of Ms. Fatma with women who were only a day familiar.

Not usually his employer is easy as familiar as it is with people he just knew, as if Yuana was like a child or nephew. Usually, Ms. Fatma will not talk much and impressed to keep her wife, but not to Yuana and Nabila.

Along the way to Yuana's house, Ms. Fatma told a lot about the struggle to build a company with her husband while raising her three children. While Yuana did not talk too much, only occasionally expressed admiration for Ms. Fatma or answered questions from her.

"It's up to Mom," said Mr. Hadi cut off the conversation dominated by his employer.

"Ah.... is here? All right, let's get down. Just take it as necessary, son Yuana, let's go to the hospital."

"Okay, ma'am, let's go in. Sorry the house is simple and has to sit down" replied Yuana and invited Ms. Fatma to enter her house.

"No matter Nak Yuana. mother so want the time of struggle with the deceased first, mother is also still contracted before giving birth to Ilham. Grace of Nabila's age as well" smiled Miss Fatma reminiscing about her past.

Yuana who had put Nabila into the room, rushed to make a warm drink for Bu Fatma and Pak Hadi. Then Yuana opened the suitcase and filled it with some clothes and some necessary documents, then brought the suitcase to the front of the house. Then he rushed to hold Nabila back and rushed out, it turns out that Ms. Fatma and Mr. Hadi were waiting in the car.

After locking the door, Yuana saw Bu Marta standing in front of the fence of her house. Incidentally, so that Yuana can say goodbye to the owner of the house he occupied so far.

"Good morning Miss Marta, sorry for a few days maybe I didn't come home. Titip house first yes Ma'am," said Yuana.

"Yes Yuana, take care of yourself, and may Amar recover soon" replied Bu Marta while stroking Yuana's arm.

"Thank you ma'am, I'm saying goodbye first."

Yuana rushed into the car. He saw the house that he had occupied for several months with Amar and their children. Also seen some flower plants that he cared for so far, most of them have developed flowers. Yuana does not know that this is her last day to see the house and the beginning of her new life.
