Nine o'clock in the morning.
In the living room there were Fatimah and Yazid. They immediately rushed when they heard the news of Kia being persecuted by people who were not clear because Yazid only heard a little story from Mr. Karim.
Kahfi who just finished drying clothes immediately joined in the living room. Where Kia had sat alone with Fatimah's brother while Yazid was sitting opposite him. Kahfi sat down and explained what happened yesterday but he could not tell everything because he knew how he did not want people to know it.
Yazid's heart began to be disturbed when he heard the man's treatment of Kia. Instantly Kahfi pressed Yazid's hand hinting that he was not blabbing and cursing the man in front of Kia.
"Let all this be done later. Hopefully this will not happen to Kia again. A little look at the wife opposite him. Kahfi hinted to Fatimah to take Kia to his room.
Brother Fatimah held Kia's hand, she could feel how the sikis that Kia was experiencing at this time. Kia was only speechless as the three of them talked about yesterday's incident. "But dalurkan rub ya Kia, so that your body is not too sick. Take Fatimah gently. "Ooh yes Zid, I forgot there was a side dish on the bike that I had cooked for you both." before closing the door to the room Fatimah told Yazid.
"Good sister. I'll take it." Yazid stepped forward to pick up the rantang containing the chicken stew and the urab that Fatimah cooked before he visited Kahfi's house.
Kahfi massaged her un-dizzy temple. Thinking of what actions could make Rendy no longer bother Kia. If he told this matter to uncle Dito would definitely be a runyam. But at least Dito's uncle should know that Rendy is still trying to get close to Kia back.
Yazid came and surprised him with a loud bang on the table in front of him. "Why the mas bro? ane knew how to teach the savages a lesson" Yazid sat near Kahfi.
"Astagfirullah, basic sluggish. Dateng-dateng shocked people. Kahfi who was upset because of the shock and menoyor Yazid's head.
Yazid's face was bent and grumbled. "Lebay bangat mas bro it's aja sampe be shocked. don't think of the person, tar let ane who takes care of the same friends, mas bro just take it right away. let me teach that to someone. In an annoyed tone Yazid sipped the sweet tea that was before him.

The Rendy residence. He was still upset over the actions of Kahfi who beat him until battered. until today he could not go to the office as usual. His face was covered with bruises due to Kahfi's hard fist.
"Sial." he said as he looked at his face in the mirror. "Whatever I won't let Kia be happy with that man, I should be able to get Kia again no matter how." He came out of the bathroom. And when he went outside there was Dito's uncle.
"Rendy why are you still at home at this hour. Papah's waiting for you in the meeting room but never coming." Dito looked at Rendy's bruised face. "Why is your face so bruised? who's been fighting with? ask him confusedly.
"Sorry, sorry pah. Rendy told Tanto that today Rendy could not come to the meeting, last night Rendy fell off the bike." Lying so that the in-laws do not suspect him.
"Fall off the bike? how can?" Dito's not sure yet. Rendy sat down near her in-laws. Dito saw only the bruised part of the face. "You didn't fight, did you? because there's no wound on your leg or hand? Dito grew suspicious as he looked clearly at Rendy.
"Really, pah. Last night Rendy fell down from the motorbike because there was a car that suddenly brake suddenly and the face and stomach aja aja that hurt. the others did not" while convincing the in-laws Rendy menangakat his shirt and there are bruises on his stomach.
"That's it. Tomorrow we have a meeting with the company from Taiwan, papah hope you can come. There is no reason not to meet." Dito got up from his seat and rushed away.
"Sial the old Bangka that his senpak say so, do not understand what battered face gini how sick. Not to mention the shame when everyone is staring at my battered face gini". It is in the heart when the in-laws are out of sight.

Fatimah's one-hour drive accompanied and rinsed Kia's body with the mainstay of the family's rubbing drug Kiyai Mansur. Fatimah closed the door slowly. Kahfi asked.
"How does Kia want to tell the same sister the previous incident? Kahfi was curious before the incident he saw yesterday whether there was any previous incident that he had not heard directly from Kia.
Fatimah stepped outside with her head tied to answer Kahfi's question. "Have not been too hasty one day Kia will definitely tell you. Now he is trying to forget that. Sis Fatimah already wears sandals and wants to sit on the back of the motorbike. Yazid who had turned on the motor engine immediately say goodbye to Kahfi. "It looks like Kia couldn't sleep last night. You should take her on vacation so she quickly returns in a good mood. The advice of Fatimah before passing from before Kahfi.
"God willing, brother, thank you for accompanying Kia and taking care of her. Salamun ended their conversation.
Kahfi was about to step inside to see Kia in the room. But bi Asih stopped him and handed the paper bag to Kahfi he received from Adam yesterday afternoon. Because when Adam came to Kahfi's house and Kia was not home so Adam left it to bi Asih.
After Kahfi received the paper bag, he immediately closed the door bringing her into the room. And he saw his wife sleeping soundly without movement. "Sorry, I'm on deck." He looked at the face of the wife who looked pale and there was sadness in his heart to see the wife who was usually cheerful but today like a person without spirit.
He put a paper bag on his desk, did not intend to see the contents of the bag. He approached near Kia. While continuing to caress the shoots of Kia's head which looks how black and shiny the hair that Kia has. Sometimes he kissed Kia's forehead. Kia remained calm in her sleep. "Dek must have not slept last night so now sleep well without being disturbed by the action, mas." Kahf speaks for itself. With the hand that now touches Kia's nose.
"Wake up yet? where are you going, honey? if there's anything that the deck needs tar, get it!" Kia who tried to get closer to the closet.
Kia opens the closet, trying to find Koko's clothes for her husband. The routine if Kahfi is at home to perform Kia prayers is definitely preparing Koko clothes that Kahfi will use. "Sorry, the deck sleeps over so it has not prepared Koko clothes for mas!" He turned while thrusting Koko's gray clothes in front of Kahfi.
Kahfi accepted it with a fluffy smile. "Saah prayers in the mosque, baby?" deck's okay, do you live?" Kahfi glanced at Kia's face which was now both sitting on the edge of the bed.
She kept quiet without answering. It felt like he was telling Kahfi not to leave his side because he still felt afraid of being alone. His eyes seemed not to want to look at Kahfi because Kahfi would be able to read what was on his mind. Kia just played her fingers and lowered her head.
Kahfi immediately glanced at Kia and touched Kia's chin to look at her, Now the eyes of the two met Kahfi who knew the fear of Kia immediately understood. "Dec take ablution there, we worship at home yah." While looking at the change in the face of the wife Kahfi smiled and rooted both hands touch the shoulder of the wife and then deliver her to ablution.
While waiting for Kia berwudhu Kahfi prepare a place for the two of them to pray. A few minutes later Kia came out of the bathroom slowly wearing her face. Kahfi also started praying together when Kia was ready behind him.
Finish the prayer both praying and at the end with a slide together. Finished tilawah did not forget Kahfi kissed Kia's forehead after Kia kissed Kahfi's hand. Kahfi hugged Kia while asking what Kia wanted to eat tonight. Kia who is still slipping in Kahfi's chest while looking up her face. "Dek wants to eat Ramen noodles near the park but mas can't be far from, deck!" Kia's hand touched Kahfi's chin with a little hair.
"Well my heretic, if we need to buy handcuffs first so we won't let go." He rubbed his face against Kia with his nose. Kia kegelian because hit by jengot Kahfi. His smile came off and Kahfi was happy to see his wife at this time.

They arrived at a shop that was not so spacious but always many visitors who came. In addition to the ramen in the store is delicious, the place there is very comfortable and of course awake kehalnya. Kia and Kahfi fell silent for a moment looking at the empty one they were about to occupy. After the eyes of the two of them looked around, there was no empty place. When they were about to turn around to wait outside someone called out to the two of them.
"Ustadz Kahfi" cried the man as he approached Kahfi and Kia. Kahfi saw when his name was called. The one who called him was Adam. "Ustadz joined the reverberation just like ana and wife, it happens that we both have reservations first. Take Adam. The three of them went to the place where Adam had shown him. And there was Febby waiting for their presence.
"God haven't seen you in a long time, Kia?" When the two women shake hands and cipka cipiki. "It looks like you're a mess, Kia, don't you fill it up again ? ledek Febby's. Kia just put on a smile. "Let's discuss the problem another time yes Kia, there is an important thing that I will tell you but this is just what aka aja." Febby smiled while holding Kia's hand on the table .
Adam offered the menu at the ramen shop. And ask Febby to choose a menu that suits him. Kahfi and Kia chose the same menu and flavor that distinguished only the types of drinks.
"Ooh yeah, ustadz has received a deposit that ane thanks to bi Asih, right?" Adam confronts Kahfi.
"Subhanallah, I forgot. Not yet open, aki. Btw if outside call aja ane with the name, do not need to be formal so that outside."
Adam nodded in agreement. Adam Yanga shik.mengobtol with Kahfi and Kia was busy chatting with Febby his old friend. Kahfi glimpsed at Kia, in her heart muttering thankfully Kia could share with her best friend and not too look somber face when she often commented a smile to Febby.
Fifteen minutes later the food they ordered arrived. The two couples ate the ramen they ordered. Sometimes they share stories about their activities. Febby who saw there was something different about Kia's temperament which is usually always cheerful, invited Kia to be able to come to a study event in the M area. But Kia refused because there was always a fear of going away from home. Kahfi who knew about it gave an explanation to Febby because for some time Kia had not been able to do activities that did not accompany her husband.
After they all decided to go home and head to their respective places. "When you want to go back to town B, let me know! I really want to pull together with you, so on the way not bete" Febby who has ridden a bike metik Adam.
"God willing, I am waiting for the Kahfi holiday, Febb. Play in the same kangen children's home sometime with you, Febby." While saying hello Kia entered the car.
"Siapp's... Inshaa Allah. Wa'alaikum greetings." Febby answered while waving to Kia. On the way Febby talked about Kia who felt different to see. Adam who felt no change in Kia, felt the wife was too far-fetched.
In the car, while driving Kahfi occasionally always glance at the wife who is on his left. His eyes focused forward but his left hand felt Kia's right hand making Kia who was looking at the window until she turned to Kahfi.
His eyes stared at the side of Kahfi and returned the touch of Kahfi's hand by placing Kahfi's sturdy hand on the car's steering wheel. "If driving should focus forward, you. Hands also do not pegi-pegi gini. Kia looked ahead. Kahfi simply smiled and stopped his car to the edge. "Kok stop, mas?" Confused Kia.
"I think if you're driving you should focus. I'm not focused anymore so I pull over first. Kia turned to Kahfi. "Grateful deck ngajakin mas to the outside, dannn, after going outside mas not too worried because mas happy see the deck story again. Kahfi's hand grabbed Kia's hand occasionally kissing her hand. "Two days ago I was very worried about the same deck, a moody deck, a deck that looked like a quail. But after the deck can meet with Febby deck can be cheerful again. Alhamdulillah mas senenggg.
Kia just fell silent while digesting the words from Kahfi. Actually he also did not want to make the husband worried but he tried to live as usual it was felt difficult. because many shadows of the incident still vividly remembered in his mind. Today he ventured to invite out because he followed the advice of Brother Fatimah. However, he must be able to fight all that so as not to become a burden for himself and his husband. Kia ventured to kiss Kahfi's cheek as fast as lightning.
"That's a great deal." Kahfi who get an impromptu kiss can only perotes because he has not felt more clearly the kiss. Kia just kept quiet with embarrassment while looking ahead she no longer dared to look at the husband who was next to her. "Dekk, you want it again, the right cheek is not yet." Stick him to his cheeks while playing to his two eyes patched with glasses.
Kia smiled shyly. "That's right next door at home now the deck wants to squeeze through the house, mas!" Kia had just ended her speech. Kahfi's lips had landed on Kia's cheeks and was driving her car back.
