Love at Dusk

Chapter 29: Requesting Permit

Gently Reyhan pulled his hand, now Reyhan who grasped Aisyah's hand. He forced his smile to expand with all the guilt that was engulfing in him. ‘Today he clasped two hands of a woman who was made.’ Inner Reyhan grimaced. “Iya Aisyah, thank you for staying,” said Reyhan.

“Udah obligation wife mas, do not say thanks,” said Aisyah with a little laughter at the end of her sentence. “Mas want to take a bath of angel water? Let Aisyah be ready first.” Reyhan quickly shook his head.

“No need, cold shower mas only let seger. Let's get tired of it.” Seeming doubtful to be seen on Aisyah's face, she bit her own inner lips. “Why?” Reyhan asked who guessed Aisyah's movements.

“Emm, take a shower, Aisyah want to chat for a minute can?” tanyanya slow.

“Now we are talking, why not now Aisyah?” Again Aisyah looked doubtful and unpleasant.

“Let's time already not tired.” Aisyah stood up first, picked up Reyhan's briefcase and walked Reyhan's way to their room.

Reyhan went into the bathroom, put his clothes in a dirty laundry basket. He washed his face first, his mind again clashing with what Aisyah would ask, did Aisyah suspect him? Is Aisyah going to ask who Reyhan's sick friend is? Reyhan shook his head, trying to think positively. The cold water that soaked the body seemed to lift the fatigue and brighten his mind, although not completely lift the fatigue but enough to make Reyhan feel good.

Aisyah prepared Reyhan's nightgown, removed her veil and changed her clothes. He will ask Reyhan for permission about the invitation to be the host, Aisyah wants to tell him about all her experiences while in Cairo. During their marriage, not much did they know about each other, and Aisyah wanted this night to tell each other their lives, wanting to get to know her husband more deeply, what Reyhan dislikes and what Reyhan likes most.

“Aisyah actually just want to ask permission the same mas, Sunday Aisyah was invited to be the host of the ceremony at the Grand Mosque,” said Aisyah softly.

Reyhan's eyes seemed a little surprised and in disbelief. “You can be the host?” Ask Reyhan. Aisyah nodded her head enthusiastically.

“Alhamdulillah can mas, time of college and a month in Bandung also Aisyah likes to be invited with Zahra, she is active in Islamic activities.”

“Emm, Mas permitin, if you can know from what time is Aisyah?”

“Jam eight to twelve mas.”

“Specialty for women?” Ask Reyhan to come back.

Aisyah seemed to shake her head, “For the general kok Mas, Ikhwan and Akhwat can participate in the study. Later there is a hijab or barrier between the place of the Brotherhood and Akhwat,” explained Aisyah. “Mas want to come?”

Reyhan touched his bow slowly, looking at his face was doubtful. “InsyaAllah, mas come later this week, but Ikhwan and Akhwat is what Aisyah?” Reyhan asked embarrassed, from the first he was always busy, even during his lecture he followed SMEs and BEMs, Reyhan had heard those words from members of SME Teen Masjid, but did not know the meaning.
