Love as Beautiful Dusk In Pesantren Season 2

Silence Zahra

"Darling, don't think about anything uncertain, we've only been married a few months, a year not yet, you don't think negatively like that!" Husein Lanhsung hugged Zahra after saying the words he hoped would calm his wife.

"But what if what I said earlier is true, Mom?" Zahra still insisted on asking the real thing that was not good to ask.

"Whatever happens next, I'll stay with you!" the answer that Husein hoped could dispel Zahra's bad thoughts.

"If it's true, will Mas leave me? or is he going to remarry to get offspring?" zajra's question really made Husein surprised, he immediately took off his embrace and stared fixedly at Zahra's eyes that were unceasingly shedding tears.

"Look me all right! whenever I will never wish you or leave you, no matter what the circumstances, I will stay together and be with you. There was no intention for me to do what you said just now, so never say it in front of me! for me you're the only one and that's forever." Husein firmly said what was in his heart.

Husein only wanted to marry once in his lifetime and did not want to remarry, for him Zahra was the first and last girl who would accompany him to the end of life. Since the beginning of marriage Husein has decided to accept what Zahra is, whether it is a deficiency or an advantage that Zahra has.

"Mas angry with me?" lirih Zahra when she saw Husein standing behind her was looking towards the window in the same position as she had done before.

Husein did not respond to Zahra's words, he still looked straight at the window considering everything Zahra said made the corner of his heart hurt, zahra's words seemed to not believe him and seemed to doubt the greatness of love as well as the affection that Husein had for him.

"I'm sorry, Mas" Zahra was still trying to get the attention of Husein who suddenly turned away and ignored him.

Husein remained silent even though Zahra had apologized to him, Husein's attitude made Zahra more confused and confused.

"Mas" Zahra walked closer to Husein, who was standing straight in front of the window, slowly holding Husein's shoulder, hoping he would respond.

"I'm sorry, if I say something that hurts your heart, I never really had that intention," Zahra spoke again in a soft tone while bowing her head if she was so sorry for what she had said.

"Here I am, I am tired," instead of answering or calming Zahra who was crying Husein even passed to lay down on the bed while closing his eyes without caring about the existence of Zahra again.

At this time there are only regrets that Zahra felt, what he said and thought all this time turned out to make a Hussein who was always gentle also kindly silent a thousand languages, he said, really Zahra felt so upset at this moment, for her it was better to see Husein angry than to have to see him just silent and indifferent as he is today.

The atmosphere of the room that is usually warm now feels so cold and quiet, somehow Zahra can again melt the heart of Husein who looks frozen.

Slowly Husein changed the position that had been sleeping to turn his back on Zahra now facing towards him without being realized by Zahra, because at this time he was wandering in a dream world that was either beautiful or vice versa.

"I love and love you with all my heart, not just you but everything you have including the flaws that I might someday find in you, to be honest, I can't bear to see you like this, but I also can do nothing but silence you to be aware of what you are saying, indeed Zahra, was not one bit in my mind to complain or leave you, I want to be with you until death do us part, with or without children though," said Husein as he stared fixedly at Zahra and then kissed long ago Zahra's forehead trying to channel all the flavors she had, as she did, hoping that tomorrow will be better and Zahra no longer discusses or says what she just said.

"I love you more than you know" continued Husein in a very soft tone almost inaudible then he fell asleep in the dream world while hugging Zahra who looked so comfortable in his arms.

The long night has now passed by changing the morning sun that is still shy to show its light, he said, the cold in the morning felt pierced into the bone because at this time the drought makes the cold in the morning feel so stinging different from the usual days.

"Mas Husein seems to be still angry" Zahra murmured as she saw Husein's bed empty.

Husein will usually wake Zahra to perform dawn prayers together, but now he is not in the room even though the dawn adhan has just reverberated.

"Where is Mas Hussein?" continue Zahra while sitting on the edge of the bed after praying alone.

Zahra, feeling guilty, decides to seek the husband's whereabouts so she can apologize and try to break his heart. Zahra continued to look for Husein in every corner of the room until she arrived in the backyard that had a small garden. Usually Husein spent the morning there to enjoy the warm sun.

"Mas Hussein!" call Zahra to walk closer to Husein who is sitting on a long chair that is deliberately provided there.

Husein did not answer Zahra's call, he only turned a glance then looked straight ahead again, it seems that Husein's angry mode is still not lost.

"Why is it here? it's still too early to be here, it's cold Mas, let's go in!" Zahra said in a tone so softly that Husein could be destroyed.

"Why do you care about me Zahra?" an answer that could make Zahra feel hurt.

"I care because I love you Mas, I'm your wife, so I care about you so much" Zahra replied as she held Husein's hand trying to channel all the affection she had.

"If you love me why do you doubt the feelings I have for you?" enough questions made Zahra more aware of her mistake, but on the other hand Zahra was grateful that Husein was willing to say what she felt and had begun to respond to what Zahra had said.
