Marriage Line Husband

Part 1: The pain of loss

...There is nothing most painful except to lose a loved one and to be tormented by an endless longing. And there is no most efficacious remedy for a longing-stricken man except a meeting....

In a white and gray room there was a woman who looked straight with a blank look. However, it was clearly a tinge of sadness from the look of her brown eyes.

It had been a week that her husband left her, not temporarily but forever. As a result of a single accident at that time the life of her husband was taken. The man who had always been there for her and had always been gentle with her and looked at her lovingly, had now left her with all her deep sorrow. A drop of tears rolled back down the pale white cheeks, and a small sobbing came out of the woman's lips, remembering the good times with her late husband, who now lives in memory.

Khaliza Fatimah is the name of the woman. At a young age of 22, she had to be a widow. It never occurred to her that Danu would leave her that soon. The two of them had just married two months ago but fate separated them through death.

A middle-aged woman walked into Liza's room. Syarifah looked sadly at the state of his daughter who looked very sad. The dark circles under Liza's eyelids depict the woman as sparse and almost sleepless at night and her pale face.

Sharifah approached her daughter and gently stroked Liza's head covered in hijab. Feeling a touch Liza looked up at the mother. Only the eyes are swollen and the nose reddened due to crying for too long.

"Now, please let Danu know, he is calm there, don't make him feel sad because of your unreason," said Syarifah as he gently stroked Liza's head.

"I can't accept Danu's departure yet, why did she leave me so soon? " reply Liza. Tears poured down so much that it soaked its black hijab.

"Everything is God's rule, son. This is a destiny that God has set, every thing that God takes must be in exchange or it may be a lesson for us. "

Liza closed her eyes for a moment. "Yes, Mother, I will learn to let go of Danu mas." replied Liza while wiping her tears. Although it is very hard to let someone who is loved go away.

Sometimes God takes something we love to test our faith and also our determination.

Two years later...

Two years have passed, but the sadness is still firmly planted in Liza's heart. Every night she had to be tormented with an unresolved longing by her quiet late husband there. Liza chose to be widowed for life because nothing could ever replace Danu in her heart. She loved her husband very much.

Now, in a mosque everyone including men and women attend a lecture that is always held every Thursday night in the mosque Ar-rahman. Liza was also present in the study. The woman appears to be wearing brown shar'i clothes and a wide black hijab and veil covering Liza's face.

Liza was so serious about listening to the lecture delivered by an ustadz. After the study finished Liza rushed to go home before the night even though her house was not far from this place. A 39-year-old woman blocked Liza's wrist and pulled it rough until Liza turned to face the woman.

A slap escaped from Liza's veil-covered cheek and made her grimace in pain.

"Basic woman teaser! How dare I flirt with my husband!" The woman pushed Liza rude."It's free to dress covered when your nature and attitude are no more like a cheap woman!"

Lisa's chest felt very sore and sick to hear the accusations made by the woman in front of her. His eyes blurred because of the tears that flooded in the eyes. The foreign woman suddenly pulled the veil that covered Liza's pretty face until the thin cloth was completely detached from her face.

"Back, right, my veil." said Liza Lirih trying to reach her veil in the woman's hand.

"What's it doing to cover your face, huh? Want to look good in front of people? Da? Whereas you're dressed in a covered dress and wearing a veil just to cover up your rotten nature!" point the woman.

Liza shook her head in protest at the allegations of foreign women before her. Liza's voice choked and was unable to utter a word of self-defense. He could only cry in silence and cover his face with his hands but both of his hands were instantly forcibly pulled by the woman.

"Not to cover your face. Let everyone know the face of the woman who always seduces people's husbands!" resounding.

But it was unexpected that a turban cloth covered Liza's face. Everyone there looked surprised including the foreign woman who was still clutching Liza's veil. Fariz gave a piercing sharp look at the woman.

"What was his fault in letting go of the veil that this woman was wearing? You shouldn't be doing this especially in public places" Fariz said.

"You don't have to interfere! She's a cheap woman who has dared to flirt with my husband!" his reply snorted cynically.

"Are you sure? "spoke Fariz."Have you ever seen this woman flirting with your husband?" fariz asked seemed unconvinced by the accusations leveled at Liza.

The woman immediately fell silent. She did not see Liza directly teasing her husband but she got this information from her friend.

"I didn't see it, but it was my friend who told me that this cheap woman was flirting with my husband!"

"Then call your friend here and ask if this is the woman who seduced your husband" Fariz said.

The woman immediately called her friend . After the lady friend saw Liza she said not this woman but the woman who seduced the woman's husband who was wearing the hijab but not the veil. The woman was embarrassed and also felt guilty to Liza.

Fariz turned towards Liza who was beside him. The woman's body trembled perfectly and tears were dripping down. Fariz let out a heavy sigh and touched Liza's hand which shrieked in shock and instantly retreated a few steps creating a distance with Fariz.

"Don't touch me!" his voice was sharp but his voice sounded trembling.

Now, Liza had arrived at her house and was still wearing the turban cloth that the young man had given her.

Liza's tears shed as she entered the room and looked at the photo of her late husband on the wall. A drop after a drop of clear liquid fell onto his cheeks.

"Mas, I miss you so much. Now there is no one to protect me and I am always slandered because of my status.." said Liza.
