HUSBAND'S HEART

part 49 THE FIERCENESS OF TWO MEN

In recent weeks, Joseph's doctor often visited Ilham's house to meet Yuana, but Yuana was very difficult to find. This time deliberately came early in the morning, mumpung he entered rather late in the afternoon.

Park the car a few meters from the gate of the house Ilham, waiting for Ilham to go to the hospital for routine control later he came to see you.

Lean on the steering wheel with both hands cupped on the steering airbag. Tap his finger on the dashboard in front of him.

Is it too early? Why are there no signs of life in this house. Even the porch lights are still on.

Is Yuana moving out of here? Good though. But yesterday Mbok Sari just said he was out. Means still living here.

Is he really busy, or does he have another job? Is he trying hard to raise money to get my money back? Ah Yuana, why are you really unwilling to accept my help?

If Yuana accepts to marry me, she won't have to bother working like this. No need to replace the ransom, the certificate must return to him without having to bother like this.

Has she found someone else to replace her husband? That fast? But who? I who had always blatantly liked him was not he gubris, how could it be as soon as it found someone else.

"Aaaargh."

Thiin

Unfortunately, Joseph's doctor hit the steering wheel until the horn of his car rang until he was shocked himself. Fear is heard by people inside the house. Fortunately, along with a car passing by and reply to the sound of his horn, like greeting each other. So it's not so obvious that he's waiting.

Moments later, the porch lights were turned off and Mbok Sari ran to open the gate. Sure enough, Ilham's black sedan was seen coming out, pausing briefly at the gate as the driver opened the glass beside him. Maybe talk to Mbok Sari for a second. Since Arief does not seem to come, it means that Inspiration drives itself.

But how surprised doctor Yusuf when the window of the car was opened perfectly, it turns out the sedan driver was precisely a hijab woman he wanted to meet. Yuana sat quietly holding the steering wheel and Ilham who seemed to be looking a little at the side was saying something to Mbok Sari.

He quickly started the car engine and drove it to confront the car of Inspiration. He felt unacceptable if Yuana had to become a driver, especially the driver of an Inspiration who in the eyes of the doctor Yusuf was considered unable to appreciate a woman. Ilham events comma first until the last accident he considered as karma that must be accepted by Ilham. Do not let Yuana be oppressed by an Inspiration.

But beyond the expectations of doctor Yusuf, it turns out that Yuana has first drove the car quickly, without even looking at him who also drove closer. A car came out of the house again. Apparently Mr. Hadi and Annisa are about to go to work.

"Doc! Tumben came here early in the morning" said Annisa without going down to Joseph's doctor who got out of his car and approached Annisa.

"So I saw Yuana's car carrying Ilham."

"Emang Yuana, why Doc? Doctor there need to be with Yuana? Back in the afternoon or evening, Doc."

"Ah, no. Just say hello to Yuana, please reply to my chat. Assalamu'alaikum" Joseph's doctor returned to his car and drove away.

Annisa stared at the departure of Joseph's doctor with pity. He knows for sure what doctor Yusuf is feeling for Yuana, even before knowing that the girl that the handsome doctor likes is Yuana. And Joseph's doctor's struggle became more visible when Yuana was in his house.

But unfortunately Yuana did not respond at all to the feelings of doctor Joseph. Directly refusing without the slightest chance, perhaps his heart was still loyal to the late Amar and it was difficult for him to open his heart again. Mate is a mystery, which far we do not know the near is not necessarily.

"Wa alaikum salam wa rohmatullah," answered Annisa, "may Allah soon give you the best mate."

Mbok Sari walked back inside the house after closing the gate, there was still a lot of work to do. Time goes by so fast if we fill it with activities we love. No twilight already say hello, one by one the car that was out this morning, now make the sound of his horn a sign asking to open the gate again.

Ms. Fatma who was accompanying the children to play felt relieved. Azyan and Nabila prance because Annisa brings a new toy while Yuana brings three kinds of their favorite sponge flavor.

While Norish who had just learned to crawl seemed to wiggle the body resting on both arms and both legs, while laughing revealed his smooth gums until his saliva dripped down on the carpet.

"Aaah, the little princess mami is already ongkong," Annisa immediately rushed to crawl closer to Norish who increasingly excited to shake his body.

"It's a good thing you came home quickly, Nis. The stock of ASI for Norish uda was exhausted just now, the more he had mistress, you forgot to pump yes?" Ms. Fatma patted the back of Annisa who had just lifted Norish and sat on her lap.

"Yes, Umrah. Kirain is still enough earlier, this was in the office uda mompa, can make stock tomorrow."

Annisa then stood up while still holding Norish and handed the ASI storage bag to Rima to move the bottles inside to the refrigerator.

While Yuana walked to the kitchen to take a serving plate and moved a few pieces of sponge cake from the box to the plate. Azyan and Nabila are already engrossed in her new toy. While Ilham and Pak Hadi headed to the workspace near the living room.

"Sir, Joseph had just come here, but hurriedly left because there was an emergency call. Looks like she has a heart for you, Yuana. Several times I've seen her come here, find you, but you rarely meet. Why not open your heart to her?"

Fortunately, Yuana had finished the mineral water she drank when Ms. Fatma approached and sat down next to her. Otherwise, he would have choked when he heard Ms. Fatma's question just now.

"It's okay, Mom. It's just... Yuana doesn't think to be in a relationship with anyone, ma'am."

"Sorry before, are you the same Yuana, who rejected Joseph's proposal once?"

"Yes, my father once refused a proposal from Brother Jo. Because there was a reason that Yuana could not tell, so at that time the father immediately asked Mas Amar to marry Yuana. So that Brother Jo doesn't keep hoping to get Yuana."

"Once again I apologize, is that why now Yuana always avoids every Joseph coming? Is there just a little chance for now?" Ms. Fatma who knew a little about the doctor Yusuf tried to find out the relationship status of two people who he had both considered the child, especially now that Yuana was widowed and had no parents.

"Yuana can only hope, hopefully Brother Jo will soon find someone much better than Yuana, Mom."

"You're even more than the very word she deserves, Yuana. If you notice, you two are compatible."

"No, Ma. Brother Jo should have gotten a lot better than Yuana. Hopefully with Yuana's attitude, Brother Jo can move on immediately and open her heart to other girls."

"Yuana hadn't thought of that at all, Mom."

"Yes, I understand. But think about Nabila, he needs a father figure, you are still young, the future is long. I can only pray, hopefully one day you can open your heart again."

"Yes, Mom. Thanks to Mother's support all this time to Yuana," Yuana who was moved by Bu Fatma's attention slipped spoiled on her arm like her own biological mother.

As the hearts warmed in the harmony of mother and daughter, there was a heart that felt wrathful to hear the conversation just now. How can a mother who will later ask for blessing, even want to bring the idol closer to others who he admits are superior to him.

The inspiration that stood frozen in the dining room door was quickly turned towards the stairs and went to his room.

He will ask Mbok Sari to deliver dinner and drinking water to his room later. It would take time for him to raise his own heart to face off against Yuana if a sense of insecure came at him. He obviously wants to be alone tonight.

Two days passed in awkwardness for Inspiration. He felt very dwarfed every time facing Yuana. There was a deep sense of guilt in every eye with Yuana, why she did not dare to express her feelings long ago.

Why did he not appear when Yuana's father was about to marry Yuana to Amar. Hadn't Amar asked her to introduce herself and directly propose to Yuana? Ah, nevermind. It all happened, why does he always regret it.

Her, in times like this, Ilham felt that Yuana was more chatty, not calm and calm as usual, even though he was not at all nosy and always obeyed Yuana's arrangement for him.

"If you were my wife, it would be nice to hear your nagging every day" murmured Ilham with a smile of her own.

Of course after Yuana came out of her study, after listening to Yuana's long message about taking medicine and rest first.

As soon as she came out of Ilham's study, Yuana heard Ms. Fatma calling her. It turned out that Ms. Fatma was sitting on the sofa of the family room talking with Grace that seemed to have just come.

"Yuana! Sit here first, Nduk."

"Good, Mom. Ah there's Mr Grace, just came, sir?" Yuana sat down next to Ms. Fatma and greeted Grace who smiled broadly at her.

"Yes, it just so happens to be loose to get here. You, how are you? Must be a bother, so Ilham's personal assistant."

"Alhamdulillah, Yuana is good, sir. Insha Allah did not bother, sir, Yuana has started to adapt, hehe," talking with Grace is very different than talking with Inspiration.

Maybe because it was basically Rahmat was a friendly person and happened to have been his apprentice mentor first, so Yuana felt there was no burden whatsoever when talking to him.

Whereas with Inspiration, like riding a rollercoaster, sometimes calm and sloping, sometimes make emotions rise to the crown or not infrequently the heart swoops in fear.

"Say you want to project with Annisa, have you started?"

"Please pray for his blessing and guidance, sir. This is still waiting for the renovation of the finished factory can only start production. Sketches for pioneers are ready, the initial plan we want to benefit the existing materials first. The plan ahead anyway we want to production for boutiques only, but see the prospect of how the future first."

"For the workforce, ready?"

"Right now Mr. Samuel is trying to call in a competent long-time employee, sir. At least each part is trained and solid loyalty."

"Good... Waaah Annisa lives the good part of it like that. Haha..." Ms. Fatma also chimed in on Yuana and Mercy.

"Yes, of course not, Mom. Later Kak Annisa who must be responsible for marketing, which of course must be harder than Yuana."

"Yes... May Allah bless your efforts and cooperation, given success that brings blessings to all. Welcome to the business world, Nduk. Don't give up easily and never be afraid to fail."

"Aami... Aamiin Yes Allah. Thank you for your prayers and support, ma'am."

"Yuana... Can I see the sketches?"

"Can, Sir. I'll take it for a moment" Yuana replied excitedly, standing up and walking towards Ilham's study where she placed the bag containing her sketchbook.

Yuana stopped her steps when she had just entered the door of the study, because there was an Inspiration blocking her path with a gaze that Yuana could not understand.

'Is this Inspiration angry, disappointed or sad? How is his face like that? I'm not making a mistake, am I? Ah, no, no. I did nothing wrong, Yuana.

"Excuse me, Mas. Yuana was willing to grab Yuana's bag," Yuana finally tried to ignore her confusion over Ilham's two-day attitude. And Ilham shifted his body slightly so that Yuana could enter even though Yuana had to walk by tilting her body so as not to nudge Ilham's body.

After retrieving the sketchbook from inside her bag, Yuana rushed back to the living room. But it turns out that Ilham already occupies the place he sat earlier. Inevitably Yuana also took a seat near Grace.

"This is sir, the sketch. Try Mr. Grace look around all, there may be criticism or suggestions so that even better."

"Aren't you asking me for criticism and advice?" ask Ilham.

The grace that captures the acidity of Ilham's face, does not take the sketchbook that Yuana thrusts at her. He instead shifted his seat closer to Ilham while grinning thinly glancing at Ilham.

He made Ilham strangle and put his face towards his mother. Ms. Fatma ignored the interaction of Inspiration and Grace, more interested in taking a look at Yuana's sketches. He moved to sit past Ilham's knees so he could sit beside Yuana.

Finally, Ilham could only cross paths with the Yuana masygul flanked by Bu Fatma and Grace.
