Love at Dusk

Chapter 28: Going Home Night

“What the hell Dev, diem aja, do not need to hear our chat,” hiss Rere upset.

Reyhan smiled blandly, all that is right, “Re, Devi really, out there are many other men who are certainly better and suitable for you. We can be peaceful and happy with our respective partners.” Hypocritical, can that be? Can they be happy with their partner while their heart and mind are fixed on another figure? Reyhan, touch Rere's hand and stroke him gently. “Now you are cured, be careful again in the future, if you are still not strong to stand asking for anterin your friend.” Rayhan was speechless, Rere's face looked reluctant and increasingly lackluster. “Try to open your heart to other men Re.”

“Open your heart is not that easy Rey, already, I do not want to discuss this. If I'm healed, can we meet?” Reyhan nodded doubtfully, his smile was stiff.

“Originally you're cured, and I'm not horrified again you fainted or your health dropped again.” Hearing that Rere smiled happily, with that spirit nodding. Reyhan's heart was increasingly unsettled, on the one hand he was happy to see Rere's smile, on the other hand he was anxious because it was getting past the limit he had planned. Lying to Aisyah for sharing her time with women again.

Eight o'clock at night. The knock on the door made Aisyah quickly stand up, walk towards the door and open it slowly. “Assalamu’alaikum."

“Wa’alaikumsalam Mas.” Aisyah picks up Reyhan's briefcase, after Reyhan enters and closes the door they walk towards the dining table, but Aisyah keeps Reyhan's bag first on the sofa. “How are you doing Mas?” aisyah asked, her hand shrewdly took the plate and prepared the food she had cooked, gave it to Reyhan and prepared the food for herself.

“Not yet Mas, would like to eat the same malem Mas,” replied Aisyah with a smile.

“Yes Allah, Aisha! You do not wait for the mas to come home just eat, what if the mas go home late? Eating first is okay Aisyah, how if-“ Aisyah stops Reyhan's speech, she smiled broadly at the concerns of her husband.

“Mas, I made the same snack as Nur, so no laper at all in the afternoon,” he replied gently. Reyhan finally nodded slowly, the guilt was getting bigger. “Oh yes mas, I asked, how is your temen situation?”

Reyhan swallowed his saliva, with a misbehaving gesture, Reyhan took the water that was being squeezed and gulped it down. “Alhamdulillah, the situation is better.” As Aisyah nodded in understanding and thanks, they began to pray and have dinner quietly. After finishing, Aisyah took back Reyhan's old plate, washed it and sat down at the table with Reyhan sitting with his tired face.

Aisyah reached out her hand to Reyhan's fingers on the table, grasped him gently and smiled, admiring the figure of the husband she loved. “Mas do not be too tired yes, if there is unfinished work today do not be done at home until late, inget, adequate rest and maintain health mas.” Reyhan fell silent, his heart creaking loudly. Why does the situation make it so difficult? Why is leaving the mass so so so so difficult? Why couldn't he refuse to see Rere? There are many words as to why it is filling his brain. And now, passing by Why am I capable of betraying a wife as perfect as Aisha?
