Chapter 86



Saying Bismillah, Nayla entered with her right foot first. Yumna faithfully flanked her right arm since getting out of the car. Seen two people sitting on the living room sofa, there are Ammi and ... Nayla did not know the woman sitting next to Ammi. Walking closer, Nayla said hello and kissed the back of her mother-in-law's hand.


“This, Aunt Farida, son, she's Ammi's sister who lives in Locknow.” Ammi.


Nayla also kissed the back of Aunt Farida's hand, introducing herself. The look on Aunt Farida's face had already answered everything, her cynical gaze piercing Nayla's heart. His awkwardness ended when Yumna pulled him to sit down.


Before long, Hannah came out of the kitchen with a warm drink on a tray. He presents it to Nayla, then he builds Uncle Abdul carrying his suitcase and new lady's bag to Fahad's room.


Ammi asks Nayla, while Aunt Farida. His eyes made Nayla uncomfortable.


“Rest, Son, you must be tired. Later in the day we eat together.” Ammi asks Yumna to take Nayla to the room.


His feet stepped up one by one the steps of his mother-in-law's household, his heart felt bad. Nayla tried to get rid of the strange feeling, but as soon as she tried. This was the first time she had come to her mother-in-law's house, but no husband had accompanied her. His new life will begin, after marriage he only feels life as a wife. And now, he really lived his life as a son-in-law. Staying one roof, he should be able to take responsibility as the first son-in-law of the Fahad family.


“Rest, Brother, I'll have lunch, yes?” Yumna left her sister-in-law and closed the door slowly.


Nayla was still standing behind the door, her eyes running through every corner of her husband's room. Back then and now, there was nothing different from Fahad's room. Stepping in more, Nayla sat on the edge of the bed. His hand took a picture framed beautifully on the nightstand, there were pictures of him and Fahad there. “Not a day, but I already miss you.” Nayla lingered on their wedding photos, until the sound of the phone ringing distracted her.


Her husband called, asking if she was okay. Nayla said she was okay, because that was the truth. However, Nayla hides something that plagues her heart from Fahad. Ammi and Aunt Farida's attitude towards him. Nayla does not want to be rash in speaking, she does not want any misunderstanding between her husband and also Ammi and Aunt Farida.

It was dark, the cold that he felt penetrated to the bone. Not only because of the cold weather, but also Ammi's cold attitude to him. At lunch, there was no conversation .. only the clinking of spoons and plates filled the atmosphere.


Nayla wears her hijab, she decides to go downstairs and help Hannah prepare dinner. His eyes circulated, looking for the whereabouts of Ammi who might be watching tv. But in fact, there was no one there. Hannah greeted him as soon as she reached the kitchen. Nayla insists that she wants to help, but Hannah refuses. He did not want to be scolded by his young master, Fahad.


“Hannah, I'm lonely just staying in my room. I help you, too, I want to learn special food from Kashmir.” Nayla pleads, and Hannah finally agrees. Soon, Mother Fatimah. He asks Hannah to deliver tea to Ammi's room.


The tea had already been poured into the cup, Nayla volunteered to take it. Hannah nodded then handed the tray containing the cup of tea to Nayla.


Taking a deep breath, Nayla knocked on the bedroom door and called her mother-in-law. It was from Ammi who told him to come in. “Ammi, here's the tea.” Nayla walked over, she placed the teacup on the nightstand. Ammi held him back, telling him to sit on the edge of the bed with her.


“Nak, Ammi wants to talk to you. Ammi hope, do not make Ammi disappointed and you can fulfill it.”


Nayla nodded for sure. “In shaa Allah, Ammi, as long as Nayla is able ... Nayla must have fulfilled Ammi.”'s wish


“Nak, Ammi agreed to your marriage and Fahad without any conditions. So, now Ammi's asking you for help. Please don't take Fahad and keep him away from his family. There is no such thing as an ex-mother, of which there is only an ex-wife or husband.”


Ammi's words made Nayla surprised, she who had originally looked down was now looking up her face and looking into her mother-in-law's eyes. “Ammi, Nayla has no intention of deriving Fahad from anyone, let alone Ammi.” Nayla tried to explain. Indeed, there was not the slightest intention in his heart to seize his son or keep Fahad away from his family. “Ammi, Fahad belongs to Ammi. Nayla can't possibly date or distance Fahad from Ammi and her sisters.”


Ammi touched Nayla's head, she smiled as she said, “you good boy, Ammi knows that. But still, Ammi asked that same of you. Don't try to keep Fahad away from his family.”


Nayla arranged the dishes at the dining table, Hannah said. However, due to the cold air and also Ammi who is getting older, Fahad also forbid Ammi to sit and eat lesehan. It would be excruciating to have legs if Ammi sat down. Aunt Farida came out of the room, she went to the dining table. Before long, Ammi also came.


“Sister in-law.” Yumna went down the stairs, she approached Nayla who was in the kitchen. “Kak Fahad called earlier, he nanya ... why his wife does not receive a call or reply to the message.” Yumna conveys Fahad's message.


“My phone's in the room, Yumna, I'll call her back.” Nayla brought a pot of water to the dining table. Yumna followed behind him and sat her body in one of the chairs. Nayla poured water into the glasses one by one, when she wanted to pour water for Aunt Farida.


Yumna who saw it was ready to protest, but Nayla immediately prevented it. He touched Yumna's shoulder and signaled her with a blink of an eye. “Ammi want to be taken what?” nayla asked, she diverted the tense atmosphere that was about to happen. After taking food on her mother-in-law's plate, Nayla sat her body in a chair beside Yumna opposite Aunt Farida.


“Nak, when did Fahad get here?” Ammi asked after finishing her dinner.


Nayla who stood up to clean the dirty dishes was sitting back, she answered Ammi's question. “Fahad don't tell you yet, Ammi, but she must have made it here as soon as possible.”


“Wahhh, after marriage, Fahad now so forget the same family in Kashmir. Fahad prefers in Indonesia apparently.” Aunt Farida said.


“Auntie, why talk that way, anyway?!” Yumna couldn't take it anymore. From the beginning he knew that his aunt's attitude was very bad to his brother-in-law. After all, Nayla was the daughter-in-law in this house. Want, don't want, Aunt Farida should accept it and be nice.


“Yumna.” Nayla looked at her sister-in-law, she shook her head slowly so that Yumna did not continue her speech.


“But, Kak—”


“Yumna, can you help this sister settle in?” ask Nayla. There is no other choice, Yumna also helps Nayla clean the dishes used for dinner.


“He has dared to give orders to Yumna, even though he was only a day here.” Aunt Farida spoke again.


Yumna put a dirty glass in the sink bowl with a rough, until it makes a loud noise from there. “Aibi, outrageous!” furious with Yumna, he was about to approach Aunt Farida, but Nayla again prevented him. His sister-in-law held him back again. “Sister-in-law, auntie has gone too far. Like it or not, aunty should not talk like that.”


“Neither, Yumna, aunty's remarks don't be denied, yes, later aunty can be offended.” Nayla tried to explain. Things would get worse if Yumna answered everything Aunt Farida said, and Nayla didn't want that to happen.


“Farida, go to your room,” Ammi command.


“But, Kak—”


“Farida, go to your room!”


As Ammi leaves the dining table, she enters the room without speaking a word to Nayla. Don't talk, just look no.
