LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

86. Forgive Me

Danira and Gavino were in the car. They are on their way to the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Since getting into the car, Danira was silent, her gaze looking out the window, looking at the houses and trees they passed. Gavino who was driving back glanced at Danira. He was eager to open the chat, only he was confused where to start. Gavino continued to think, what a discussion is roughly interesting to discuss. It is impossible to get him to discuss the stock issue. Thought Gavino.

" Why do you always see me, is there anything you want to say ?". Danira asked without taking her eyes off. Gavino flinched, hearing Danira's question.

" Yes....!! Eemm, why since you got in the car earlier, you've just been quiet. Don't you like going with me ?".

" No. I didn't say that ". Danira.

" Why are you quiet then ?".

" And what do I have to say?, is there nothing I need to say ?".

"Is there anything we should discuss and talk about ?". Gavino said, Danira turned to see her husband who was busy driving.

" What ....?".

" About us?, about our relationship ?". Danira knitted her brows seeing Gavino bewildered.

" I mean ?". Ask Danira.

" Are you still mad at me ?".

" No ". Brief Danira.

" If not, why are you still calling me 'you'?, can you call me like that, when someone else is near us ?". Gavino said, not if Danira still calls him that.

" Why?, is my calling very important to you ?". Danira asks back, Gavino is silent again, the prestige acknowledges it. Soon the car that took them arrived at the airport. Gavino quickly got out of the car, and the turn wanted to open the door for Danira. But he lost quickly because Danira had already opened the door and exited.

Why he never gave me a chance to seem to care. Gavino's heart is upset.

A man dressed as an airport attendant approached Danira and Gavino.

" Good afternoon sir, your plane is ready ". The man told Gavino.

" Emmm....!! Bring our things ". Gavino orders, while giving the car keys to the man.

" Good sir ". Said the man, then picked up Gavino and Danira's belongings.

" Let's...". Take Gavino to Danira, Danira just nods and follows Gavino. The two of them went hand in hand and surely they became the center of attention for the people who were there. Especially Gavino, the one wearing a suit and sunglasses perched on his face, increasingly exuding Gavino's good looks. All the eyes of the women look sparkling, full of cravings. Seeing that, Danira was silent, lowering her gaze. Don't want to see the women who fuck her husband.

The two of them had reached the runway, the stairs to climb Gavino's private plane were ready for them to climb. Gavino had climbed on the second step, instantly stopping and turning around. Make Danira who will ride also stop.

" Why did you stop?, was there anything left behind ?". Danira asked, Gavino shook her head. He then extended his hand to Danira. Seeing that, Danira was again confused. What he wants, Danira thought.

Gavino still stuck out his hand in front of Danira, still waiting for Danira to welcome her hand.

" What...!! do you need anything ?". Danira asked again, still not sensitive. Gavino sighed, seeing his wife's insensitivity, and then Gavino began to shake his hand. Danira was silent for a moment, and began to understand what Gavino wanted. Danira opens her sling bag, takes something and hands it to Gavino. Gavino knitted his brows, seeing Danira giving him a cell phone.

" Why did you give me your phone ?". Gavino was confused.

" What do you want, usually when you extend a hand like this. You just want to borrow my phone ". Danira replied innocently, Gavino pulled her hand with a pouting face. He was really upset with Daniela.

" I don't need this ". Ketus Gavino, return Danira's phone.

" If this isn't what you want?, please don't guess because I can't guess what you want. When you don't say ".

" Ciiihhh. You're such a bitch ". Gavino. He was kind, back up the stairs, leaving Danira who was still looking at him with a puzzled look.

" What's wrong with her, why does she look so upset ?". Danira muttered, She really doesn't know what her husband means. Danira shrugged both of her shoulders, flicking her lips slightly "Weird ...!!" Her thought. She stepped up, following her husband.

" Welcome to Madam ". Sapa a beautiful flight attendant with a body aduhai to Danira, who stood in front of the door of the plane with his hands clenched to the chest, while smiling kindly.

" Thank you ". Danira said no less polite.

" Young master is waiting for you there Madam ". Appoint the flight attendant, Danira just nodded and walked in the direction the flight attendant had told her. Danira has seen Gavino who has been sitting in his chair while playing mobile phone.

" Please lady ". Said a flight attendant who was behind Danira, asking Danira to sit in front of Gavino. Gavino glanced at Danira at a glance, then refocused on his phone with a flat face. He was still very upset that Danira did not welcome his hand earlier. Intentions want to be romantic, but dear wife insensitive. Unexpectedly Danira instead chose to sit in the cabin across from Gavino.

" I'll just sit here ". Danira told the flight attendant.

" Good, please ". Said the flight attendant with a friendly smile, after which he left the couple. Gavino is further upset, as Danira chooses to sit far away from him.

" Why are you sitting there ?". Tanya Gavino, look at Danira sharply.

" Why?, can't I sit here? ".

What does he want. Inner Danira saw Gavino step closer to her. Without the cue Gavino raised the body of Danira with his two burly hands, it makes Danira surprised instead of playing.

" Sir.mau aa..what are you ?". Danira asked.

" It turns out you're very stubborn too huh, I told you, sitting near me. Why do you still argue. Do you want me to take my rights as your husband here hhhmmm ?".Hearing Gavino's words, making Danira round her eyes, her body trembled at the threat from her husband.

" why...!!!Ja.don't ". Danira said with a trembling voice, She started to feel fear.

" If you don't want to, then according to him, because I don't like to be denied the most. Understand !!!". Press Gavino, in a slow but flat tone. Danira quickly nods her head, not wanting Gavino to prove her threat. Gavino tightened his hold, then placed Danira in the cabin seat right in front of him.

" Obey, otherwise I'll prove what I said ". Acam Gavino whispered, then stroked Danira's head gently. Danira swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. Gavino crouched down, and put a seatbelt on Danira's back, Danira just kept quiet and didn't say a word. He's still in shock, with Gavino's threat. Seeing that Danira was silent, Gavino smiled faintly.

Turns out he was scared too, funny. Inner Gavino. He sat back in his chair and went back to playing mobile.

God, why is he so horrible. How could he say such a thing, Abaghfirullah. Danira murmured inwardly, Danira still continues to set her heartbeat, she is completely afraid of Gavino's threat.

The voice of the flight attendant had been notified that the plane was about to take off. They were asked to fasten their seat belts and stay seated. During the flight, the couple remained silent, no one intended to open their voices. They are both busy with their own thoughts, Danira occasionally sees Gavino who is focused on her phone. He held his chest that was still beating fast.

Danira saw the clock on his phone, the time showed at 12:45 pm, it means that the time has entered the Zhuhur prayer, because he was on the plane Danira chose to stay in exchange for water ablution. Gavino kept watching what Danira was doing from behind her sunglasses.

What did he do, why did he make such a move. Is he exercising?. Inner Gavino, see Danira who is doing the prayer movement in a sitting state. Actually, Danira could have prayed in the room on that plane. Only, she was still thinking about her husband's words earlier, so she preferred his seat's prayer. Danira had turned her head left and right while greeting, then raised her hand, praying. Gavino kept watching what his wife was doing, with his left hand nailing his chin.

" What were you doing ?". Ask the curious Gavino.

" I'm doing a prayer move, don't you know ?". Danira said, turning around to ask.

" Isn't prayer only standing ?". Ask Gavino again.

" right...But if in a state of traveling far or in a vehicle is allowed to pray while sitting. If there is a room in the plane that allows for standing prayers will be better, but if there is none, then it is okay to pray in the passenger seat ". Clearly Danira, Gavino nodded in understanding. He was always amazed when he heard Danira was explaining about religion.

" You don't pray ?". Danira asked Gavino.

" No....!!".

" Why ?".

" I don't know, and never prayed ". Gavino answered honestly. Gavino is indeed Muslim, even his entire extended family is the same religion. Only, he was never taught about prayer, his father only educated him about business and business from childhood. Until Gavino forgets that there are other obligations that he has to run. Gavino's reply left Danira flabbergasted in disbelief.

" Absolutely ...?". Danira asked still in disbelief, Gavino raised her eyebrows then nodded slowly.

" Why don't you try to learn ?".

" For what?, is not it enough to believe and embrace his religion. Anyway I already have everything so what else am I praying for". Gavino folded his hands in front of his chest. Danira shook her head at Gavino's words.

" Confident and embracing HIS religion alone is not enough, if you do not carry out your obligations. The pleasure and wealth you have today could be this Istidraj. Allah bestows upon you all worldly pleasures, but know that the enjoyment of Istidraj is the temptation of Allah SWT, who continually gives you negligent pleasures, until it destroys itself. Nauzubillah "'s ".

" And also, according to one of the scholars. When a husband never does a prayer item once in his life. So it was the same as he had dropped the talaq on his wife ". ( According to Alm. Shaykh Ali Jaber).

" I'm sorry if you don't accept me saying this. I don't mean to lecture or patronize you. Maybe for you I'm just making up or saying nonsense. But know, I only tell you what is good, I do not want my husband to be cursed by God, because of pride and enjoy the pleasures of the world which will lead him into heresy and neglect. Strictly Danira again. When it comes to duty to God. Danira can't tolerate it.

Gavino was silent, he just listened to all Danira said. He no longer refuted or cut Danira's words like he had done before. Gavino turned his gaze out the window, He started to think about all Danira said. What else is the 'not praying at all, as well as dropping talaq '. After saying that, Danira again locked her mouth, set her eyes out, she saw the white clouds that stretched out there.

After a nearly 2-hour flight, the plane that took them landed safely at Supadio international airport, formerly known as Sei Durian Airport or Durian River Airport, and finally at the airport, West Kalimantan. Danira had unlocked her seatbelt and was ready to stand because the plane had stopped perfectly. But there was something strange, the young master was still sitting quietly, there was no intention of going down. Knowing Danira was looking at him, Gavino turned his eyes to Danira.

" You go down first, I'll catch up later ". Gavino said, with a flat face and a cold voice. Hearing that, Danira knitted her brows deeply.

Was he angry or offended at my words. Inner Danira.

" I'm fine, take it easy, I won't leave you alone here. So come down, I have to call someone first". Obviously Gavino, whose tone is not as cold as before. Danira only nodded at a glance, then walked past Gavino.

He must have wanted to tell his girlfriend when he arrived. Thought Danira, I don't know why she felt upset thinking about that.

Danira walked slowly, but there was something strange he did not see any flight attendants who usually stood in front of the door when entering or exiting. Danira didn't care about it, she kept walking and started coming down the stairs, but as soon as Danira's eyes grew bigger, she shut her mouth. Danira was very surprised to see what was in front of her at this moment.

Danira walked slowly down the stairs, approaching the people who were lined up. He began to read one by one the writings in the hands of flight attendants, pilots and other airport officers.

..." DANIRA, PLEASE FORGIVE ME "....
