"I miss you" Alzyan said from his phone.
"I'm also a mas, good there"
"Yes, I asked your permission. Mas was invited to dinner by Omar's uncle's father's relatives in New Week"
"What lecturer?"
"really"
"Why ask me for permission if you want to be in touch ?"
"You're my wife, who knows you're against me"
"No, go"
"Uncle Omar had a daughter, my old little friend"
"Oo, so you want to ask permission for fear that I'm jealous?"
"Ehm"
"Go, I trust you. I'm sure she's pretty then just bend your eyes.mm, but Nia can't see you either."
"I will bow my gaze to the woman who is not my muhrim, my wife does not see it but there is a God who is all-seeing"
Tania smiled, she knew her husband would take care of her eyes.
"Alright, go first. Take good care of your child yes. mmuah"
"Thou"

A beautiful 27-year-old woman was dressing up in front of a dressing glass. Large eyes, thick and plump eyelashes, a sharp nose, smooth skin like porcelain and lips that have a red pomegranate color. Actually, she's not even dressed up, she's really pretty. But this woman dressed like most women, she dressed up precisely by closing her beauty.
When tidying up the niqab that he wore, only the lashes look flat and beautiful eyes. That already proves behind the veil is a beautiful woman.
His father's voice called him
"Yes Dad"
"Come down, Alzyan's here"
"Well dad" his heart beat faster. He went down the stairs, from the stairs he noticed the man standing chatting with his father. He was so handsome, he had loved that man since he was a child.
"Astagfirullah, I've been staring at him for more than three seconds" Nabila returned to focus on walking down the stairs.
Alzyan realizes the arrival of his childhood friend Nabila, but he does not look at the woman at all. He kept his eyes down.
I have to put an end to all this and tell Uncle Omar that I can't marry Nabila
They ended up having a solemn dinner, a very delicious meal. Alzyan was already very hungry as it was already eight o'clock at night.
Alzyan is a perfect man, he is handsome, he is rich, but he values women very much. He didn't look at me at all. How happy I will be with him.
After dinner, Omar invited Alzyan to speak in the family room.
"Alzyan we'll just talk there, if you go back to the room."
"Good dad"
Alzyan followed Omar's uncle into the living room and sat down on the couch in the room.
"You know what I mean by uncle inviting you to dinner ?"
"Not sure, but what is it about my matchmaking with Nabila?"
"Right, your little sister is now a one-child widow. She has a 6-month-old baby boy she is devastated by the death of her husband"
Alzyan nodded his head, listening to Uncle Omar talk.
"He had depression, uncle was very worried about him. The end of this late uncle's health also decreased, uncle in lung cancer verdict. Uncle wanted to see him happy before uncle left him"
Alzyan was stunned to hear the health condition of his uncle.
"I hope my uncle is healthy again"
"Ease, God is Healer. But uncle feels soon, uncle wants to leave Nabila to you. Uncle just trusts you Alzyan"
"Are you sure?, I'm afraid I can't be fair, because I don't love Nabila."
"God is omnipresent, now you are not in love but believe me after Ijab Qabul will grow the love in your heart for Nabila"
Alzyan
"Ehm uncle, I've been thinking about a job that is suitable for Nabila in my company, with a fairly large salary he can meet the needs of his and his son"
"If she doesn't need money, she needs a husband who can protect her. Uncle let you talk to Nabila, uncle will call him"
Alzyan kept quiet, he didn't know what to say.
Still daydreaming Alzyan did not realize that Nabila had been standing not far from him.
"Ehm"
Nabila sat at the end of the sofa, keeping his distance from Alzyan. Because his admiration for this man made him not want to sit too close, it would only make his heart beat erratically.
"How are you ?"
"Well bang, brother how?"
"Good God, we haven't seen each other for 15 years"
"Does your brother still recognize me?"
"Still, even if it's covered, your brother recognizes your eyes. Still pretty eyes of my little sister"
Nabila blushed, her face blushing as Alzyan praised her. But the red face was covered by the niqab.
"You work where now you're reportedly teaching at the boarding house and it's stopped"
"Mas Idham didn't let me work after we got married, now I don't have a job. Actually want to work again but who wants to hire me who has to babysit all of you, besides father is also not healthy I also have to take care of father. Now I have income from selling cookies"
Degg
Alzyan's heart beat, his conscience touched seeing this woman.
"Just work at my company, tomorrow you'll drop your files"
"But is it possible for veiled women to work in companies?"
"Why not, you're smart. I don't think your clothes will interfere with your activities"
"But what about Ali my son, and father. Work at the company would go home late afternoon and sometimes overtime"
"You can hire a nurse to take care of them"
"I don't have enough money for that"
Alzyan seemed to think, he became more and more compassionate with this woman.
She should have married again
"Your salary is big, it'll be enough to pay one baby sitter and one nurse the rest for your needs and save money"
"For what reason, will I be hanging out with men, will I be in a room with men?"
I forgot this, Nabila will definitely refuse this job. Right said uncle Omar all he needed was a husband who could protect him not a job.
"Hmm, I really want to work but be the teacher I used to be. Around here there is no boarding school or school. It was far enough away that it took an hour to travel. That's why Idham didn't let me work anymore"
"Hmm, I'll think about what job suits you"
"Well, what about our wedding?"
"Wedding?"
"Yes bang, what about your wife does she allow?"
"Oh um,"
How can I explain that I am not willing to marry her
"I'm sorry if you can't hurt Tania"
"Did you talk to Tania?"
"Not yet, but you're sure he'll be ruined if you remarry"
"Don't talk to him first. A polygamous marriage would be fine if a husband could be fair to his wife"
"But Brother is afraid of being unfair to you"
"I don't want to rule you alone bang, I understand my position"
"But Brother doesn't love you when.."
"Abang.., that's impossible. My brother once said he loved me" Nabila's eyes began to look glassy.
"Did you?" Honestly Alzyan forgot, as he remembered last met Nabila when he was 15 years old. And Nabila is 12 years old. Alzyan met him when he wanted to move to Jakarta and at that time Nabila was about to leave for Pondok.
"I was 7 years old then, and Brother gave me a flower and Brother said Brother loved me"
Apaa, love that monkey. Nabila held my word 20 years ago ? There's just.
"Sorry Nabila, it's been 20 years. He fell in love several times after that and finally found true love. She's Tania."
"But I love you bang, it doesn't matter to me if you don't love me. I just want to live with the people I love and serve the people I love all my life"
"It wouldn't be fair to you if"
"Remember, God is turning back the hearts of men. Hate can be love just the opposite. The marriage bond is sacred, I'm sure you can love me even though it's not as big as your love for Tania, it doesn't matter to me"
Alzyan again fell silent to the words of Nabila.
Nabila is right, I used to love Maysa a lot but now there is no place for Maysa in my heart. And now I love Tania so much, it's not impossible that later I can also love Nabila.
