Love for My Husband

38. FIGURE OUT

"Kak Raihan" said Zahra softly when she realized that the young man standing next to her was the person she had been.

Raihan was also stunned when he saw the woman who had stolen his heart in front of him, time seemed to stop spinning as their eyes tied together.

"Rey do you know Zahra?" revan said as if he understood the meaning of the two gazes.

"Yes sir" said Rey nervously.

"Let Zahra sit down, we eat first" Nadhifa said and handed over the menu book.

Nadhifa and Revan looked at each other when they realized there was something strange about them, Zahra who was usually chatty suddenly became silent.

Similarly, Rey who looks silent when usually the young man is not hesitant to talk to Nadhifa even though only pleasantries.

The waiter came with a tray in his hand, he resigned after arranging dishes that had been ordered.

...

The journey home this time was lonely, very different from their trip when they had left there, this raises questions in the hearts of Revan and Nadhifa.

Nadhifa glanced at her silent best friend, the girl beside her just staring at the streets she passed by.

What happened between Raihan and Zahra?

nadhifa said in his heart.

The woman chooses silence, she will ask at the right time, she opens the wrap of the book she just bought and will read it, but Revan's voice makes her stop.

"Don't read a book in Dhifa's car, it's not good" Revan said as he watched his wife's movements.

"Kya mas, sorry Dhifa forgot" said Nadhifa who was only replied by a nod by her husband.

Silence returned to accompany their journey, Revan who felt sleepy began to play the song available in his car, the streets were crowded making their journey home a little hampered.

"Thank you sir for driving me, sorry for the inconvenience" Rey said as the four-wheeled vehicle they were riding stopped in front of her house.

"Yes, equally" Revan said.

Rey did not forget to invite them to stop by, but they refused and said they would stop by next time.

The young man was still watching the car that was no longer visible, there was a woman who he had been waiting for.

Sighing deeply, he continued his steps to enter the house and met his adoptive parents.

...

"What happened between them?" revan said when the two had arrived home after delivering Zahra home.

"Don't know, Zahra hasn't told me" Nadhifa said.

They arrived home ahead of the Maghrib, fortunately they had been praying ashar when they stopped by one of the mosques they passed.

After cleaning themselves, as usual they will pray together in the mosque.

"Is Airin pretty here?" said Nadhifa who had just realized that there was a niece in the house.

"Yes pretty aunt, Airin from this afternoon was here" said the little boy who had sat next to his mother.

Nadhifa approached and hugged her, giving a kiss on the little boy's forehead before her.

...

After dinner, Airin asked to play with Nadhifa, the little girl apparently missed her aunt, even though she went there every Sunday night.

Nadhifa happily complied, leading Airin to enter the room.

"Tante, let's help me draw" said Airin innocently.

"Well, Airin is coloring yes" said Nadhifa and began to follow Airin who was sleeping on his stomach on the bed.

After drawing the flowers and fish that Airin wanted, Nadhifa told the little girl to dye.

The sound of footsteps approaching those who were still engrossed told me occasionally laughter sounded from the little girl's lips, Nadhifa turned her head and found her husband was already sitting next to her.

"Airin, let's go to sleep at night" said Revan stroking his nephew's hair fondly.

"Airin sleep here yes om" pinta Airin with a pinched face.

The little girl nodded and followed Nadhifa who demanded her enter the bathroom.

Nadhifa took a small toothbrush that was available there and gave it to Airin after applying toothpaste on it.

"The right toothbrush is yes" said Nadhifa and the little girl nodded enthusiastically.

Nadhifa did the same, he did not forget to clean his face as usual.

The open bathroom door showed a little girl, she walked up to her father who was lying on the bed.

"Om not brushing your teeth?" said the little girl after lying next to her.

"Yes, just brush your teeth" Revan sat down and picked up the nightgown his wife had prepared.

The little girl who had been wearing a nightgown was already lying on the bed, looking as if she had yawned several times.

Revan approached her, and rubbing the little girl's head gently, Nadhifa was already standing next to Revan in a long-sleeved nightgown, allowing Revan to move.

She painstakingly rubbed the head of her husband's nephew gently, not waiting for a long time the little girl was asleep.

The pillow is neatly arranged, only the right part is still empty because the person who occupies it is still in the bathroom.

Nadhifa raises the blanket to cover Airin's body when Revan is ready to catch up with them.

Revan approached his wife and kissed her forehead gently, not forgetting that he also kissed her lips even though it was just a glance as he used to do before going to bed.

"Sleep" said Revan, stroking his wife's hair.

Nadhifa smiled and allowed Revan to sleep in the still empty part, the woman wrapped her hands over the body of the sleeping little girl followed by Revan by doing the same, the man put his hand on his wife's hand.

It didn't take long, the two adults were already asleep.

...

Nadhifa had just finished Dhuha prayers and teaching, the custom in the parlour was still carried away until she lived in her in-laws' house.

The house was deserted, Airin and his parents were ready to go home after breakfast together.

The twins have gone to college, so did Revan who also paid to go to the office.

as usual at home there are only Nadhifa, Bu Rahma and bik Minah.

Nadhifa took a cell phone to contact her best friend, she wanted to ask him something that had been plaguing her mind since yesterday.

"Assalamualaikum Zahra" Nadhifa said as the call was connected.

"Waalaikum hail Dhifa, what's wrong?" sahut Zahra's.

"Is there anything you want to tell me Zahra?" Nadhifa sat on the bed to listen to the explanation of her best friend.

Zahra sighed, she had expected something like this to happen, Nadhifa had known herself a long time ago so her best friend knew if there was anything she was hiding.

Zahra told Nadhifa everything, he had once rejected Raihan because at that time he was still afraid of being in a relationship with a man, he did not want to be disappointed a second time.

But when he tried to open his heart, Raihan never contacted him again.

Nadhifa nodded as she understood what her best friend was feeling, but Nadhifa saw that Raihan's gaze was still filled with love for Zahra.

"Have you started loving her?" nadhifa said after Zahra explained everything.

"I don't know Dhifa, but I was very sad after Raihan's brother didn't call me again, like something was missing" Zahra replied honestly, he did not expect that he would miss the short message that Raihan used to send for him, even though it was not a message of love.

"Alright, I will find a solution to your problems" Nadhifa said, leaving Zahra wide-eyed.

"What do you mean Dhifa? you want to say the same to Raihan's brother?" asked Zahra in a high tone, she was quite surprised when she told her best friend.

"No Zahra, I'll find out why he's staying away from you, just relax Raihan won't know" Nadhifa said, chuckling.

"Alright, but don't say anything to Raihan" said Zahra.

"You can trust me" Nadhifa said.

he put the phone on the table after the call ended, took the hijab and tidied it up Nadhifa was ready to help Ms Rahma and Bik Minah in the kitchen.
