LOVE YOU BECAUSE OF GOD

EMBARK

After completing his confession and some other instructions, Rafania sat quietly near the pulpit of the mosque, clearing the Koran used by the mothers.

Rafania sighed, when it was time to go home. Because, her marriage is not a marriage in general, Rafania always felt bored to go home and face the nature of her husband who always ignored her.

A boisterous voice rang out from outside the mosque, Rafania chose to ignore it and stay focused on her reading.

"As'salamualaikum, son." Ustadzah Hazanah's voice made Rafania turn.

"Wa'alaikumssalam, Miss Ustadzah."

"There's a boisterous noise out there, Mothers getting some big parcels from someone without a name."

"Without a name?"

"Yes, Son. He put a lot of parcels in front of the mosque."

"Well that man, Ustadzah, may his kindness be avenged by God" said Rafania, making Ustadzah nod.

"You don't want to go home yet?" ask Ustadzah. "It's almost five o'clock. You usually go home before five."

Rafania. "I want to be here first, Ustadzah. Until magrib's time."

"Is your marriage still as usual?" Ustadzah Hana does know what problems Rafania faces.

Rafania shook her head, then lowered her head.

"Patience, always face everything patiently, God must have a beautiful plan for you and your husband, son. All that you have gone through, be assured that God will replace it with happiness, laughter can turn into tears, and tears will turn into laughter." Ustadzah Hana gives advice.

"Ustadzah, I am sometimes tired of my husband's attitude, I am also sometimes tired of hope." Rafania lowered her head. It felt heavy and her tears were almost dry because every day she had to cry silently.

"A few days ago you told me about a wife's patience. That's enough to make you really know how the wife is in the husband's eyes." Ustadzah gave a pause. "Change for a while."

Rafania looked up at Ustadzah and tried to understand the meaning of the word Ustadzah. "Changed?"

Ustadzah. "Yes, changed. To see how your husband reacts."

"How is it, Ustadzah?"

"Stop to prepare food, try to be indifferent and ignore it. Can you?" Ustadzah gave a pause. "Look how your husband changes after you change, if it stays that way, rethink your marriage."

Rafania thought for a moment, said Ustadzah Hana was right. She had to be careless to test her husband. "Is it okay, Ustadzah? I did that thing?"

"It's okay, son. God knows that you are trying to take your husband's heart." Ustadzah.

Rafania went home, saying her usual greetings. However, there was no answer as usual, there was or was no husband at home.

Rafania saw her husband sitting in the living room while watching TV, Rafania knitted her eyebrows, usually her husband never watched TV in the living room, if watching would be done in his room.

Rafania recalls the advice of Ustadzah Hana and continues her footsteps to her room.

After hearing the sound of the closed room door, Regino turned to look at his wife's room, there was nothing different from his wife, no food or pleasantries that Rafania used to do to him during this year.

Regino turned off the TV and went back to his room.

"Oh Allah.pardon my servant to be indifferent to my husband, not the intention of the servant to neglect his duty as a wife. However, I wanted to make my husband come to me. Make it easy, O Allah." said Rafania in his prayer.

****

A few days had passed, Rafania no longer prepared food for her husband, no longer prepared tea or coffee as usual.

Rafania also always spent time in the mosque to wait for the time until the magrib prayer and always came home to find her husband watching TV.

Rafania makes a glass of warm tea and takes a snack from the refrigerator.

Deheman's voice rang out from back there, Rafania turned around and saw her husband standing about to step into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, Mas" said Rafania. Then, walk away from her husband so that Regino feels comfortable if taking something in the kitchen, because Regino always feels disturbed if his wife is in front of him.

"Wait a minute" said Regino. Make Rafania stop his steps.

Rafania turned around and knitted her eyebrows, because all this time, her husband never wanted to see her or even invite her to speak.

Rafania is waiting for Regino to speak.

"Mama told us to go home tomorrow morning" Regino said.

Rafania is very happy, even though it is just an ordinary invitation. However, it has proved a little change in the figure of her husband who had never wanted to see her.

During this time, when Rafania is in her second-in-law's house, Regino chooses to leave. However, this time Regino himself invited him.

Regino did not turn to look at his wife because of her high sense of prestige.

While back there, Rafania was bowing in gratitude for the change of her husband who had just made her heart feel peaceful.

"Why are you quiet? If you don't want to go" said Regino.

"Yes, Mas, I will." replied Rafania.

"Yes already." Regino stepped up the stairs.

Rafania felt a peace that so softened her heart. Rafania smiled, right Ustadzah said, doing the same way to see her husband's reaction and that reaction made Rafania very happy.

****

The next morning, Rafania does not prepare breakfast, as usually makes Regino start to be irritated by the change in attitude of his wife.

"Splash!" shouting Regino.

Rafania came out of her room wearing her usual robe. Regino momentarily looked at his wife and was stunned. However, it quickly turned its face back.

"Why not make breakfast?" ask Regino.

Rafania furrowed her eyebrows, not like her husband usually asks for breakfast. "Want breakfast?"

"of course. I'm hungry, since last night just snack, don't eat rice." Regino was so rude to say it. But it makes Rafania happy.

"You never touched the dishes I cooked, Mas, so I didn't prepare them for a few days now, rather than Mubazir" Rafania said.

"Yes already. Let's go."

Rafania followed her husband's footsteps and locked the door of the house, Regino had entered the car after Rafania.

On the way, Rafania feels her heart beating fast, because it was her first time riding in the same car with her husband. All this time, they always go each other, without saying goodbye to each other and never even staring at each other.

Rafania turned her head for a moment, but quickly returned down the road with her gaze. Then he smiled without knowing Regino, although it was still difficult to accept Rafania, but there was no harm in trying.

Rafania tried to calm her heart so as not to make movements that could make her husband dislike.

Hearing Regino talk to him, was more than enough for Rafania who wanted that all along. For some reason it is very difficult to enter the heart of Regino, the heart that is controlled by another figure in it.

Seriate.
