Time seems to pass quickly. Two months ago Ali and Ruby became a couple. But that relationship is only valid in the eyes of religion. Because they have not registered their marriage. It's a deal Ruby and Dad made.
Ruby has not signed up for a marriage between herself and Ali Ke KUA. Because he was not sure he would continue to build a household heresy with Ali. Lagian Ali also agreed, that after one year. They're getting divorced. The couple were willing to stay, just because of Haji Zainuddin.
Ali's been very busy lately, busy on campus. I was busy taking care of my father-in-law's farm. Likewise with Ruby, busy work He even always comes home at night. Both of them make them never communicate. Ruby always avoids Ali.
Since the incident proves that he is a normal male in terms of reproduction in Ruby. The two never said hello. Ruby also never again asked to tell or censor her. They're under one roof, but never communication.
I want Ali to start a conversation. But, the expression of the wife's face shows not wanting to be touched. Well, instead of fighting, Ali better keep quiet. The house they live in is like hell.
Is that how he is? so it must be hated like that. It was his fault so there was no apology. It is not she who proposes to be a substitute bride. Why was the mistake placed on him.
Ali ceaselessly thought about the magnitude of Ruby's hatred for him. Just because he was disabled and poor.

Mobile phone on the floor ceramic white color size 30x30cm vibrate. Ali red that phone. He smiled faintly, after seeing the name calling. How he's not happy. The person who called her has now given her a huge bonus and sent to her account number.
"Barakallah fii umrik, Ali my son. May you always be in blessing." Haji Zainuddin said sincerely. A faint smile adorned the old man's face.

Ali was surprised to be happy with the birthday congratulations from his father-in-law. How he's not happy. There are others who remember the day. He just doesn't remember his birthday.
"Amaz... O Allah. Thank you very much for your words, sir." He said with a big smile. Who is not happy, his birthday is remembered.
"Yes the same. Prepare a good dinner. This afternoon we go to your homes. You don't have to go to the farm later." Said Haji Zainuddin still with his thin smile.
"Ooohh. Yes Sir. Sure, sure..." Sahut Ali was no less excited. How could he possibly disappoint Haji Zainuddin with all the kindness given to him. Even every year. Haji Zainudin must have given him a happy birthday. He never thought about his birthday.
"alright.. Ezra....!"
"Greetings hallaikum." The video call was also interrupted.
Ali was happy. Because today is his birthday. Hurry up quickly to do his job. He has to get to campus quickly. Take money at an ATM in the campus area. He will shop after his business is completed on campus. He will go to the tank, buy fresh fish fresh to be cooked later.
When I take money. The ATM is invalid. So that he can't take the money.
"Hadeeuh... Koq can't be used? is this an expired ATM?" he noticed his ATM, which turned out to be quartz.
Ali checked his bag, if there was an account book in his bag. Apparently there is, he's going to the bank. Take the cash and fix his ATMs as well. Because the money in his wallet is only 20 thousand.
Ali's out of the campus. Waiting for a rickshaw or public transport. Towards the nearest bank
As he was waiting for the transport. A red jazz car stopped in front of him. Of course he was curious about the car owner who stopped in front of him.
At that moment he was shocked, when the car glass slowly opened. Showing a beautiful woman with a beautiful face. Ali smiled, returning the smile of the woman in front of him.
"Where are you going Al?" said the woman was friendly.
"To BRI Khai's bank." He answered politely, then slightly lowered his head. Dare not look at the woman named Khairiah Fazli in front of her for a long time. Khairiah is a classmate. But, they have the same thesis supervisor. So, he had known Khairiah for the past three months.
Ali looks confused. He may have accepted Khairiah's request. They are not muhrim.
"Let's go up, it's almost two in the afternoon. Later queue again, the hours of operation close." Khairiah's tone looked urgent.
"No need Khai. I'm riding a rickshaw." He replied hesitantly, throwing a glance at the rickshaw that would pass in front of him. At that very instant, Ali involuntarily stuffed his hand into his pants pocket.
He was also surprised to find 20 thousand denominations, which he had just claimed, no more. Ali was panicking. Where's that money?
He finally abandoned his intention to stop the motorcycle rickshaw.
"Come with me. Count the thank you. Because of your suggestion yesterday, my proposal was accepted by the lecturer." Say khairiah still with happy face.
Ali seemed to think for a moment. And finally he decided to ride his car Khairiah.
"Sit in front of Mr. Ustadz. I'm the driver." Said Khairiah smiling thinly glancing at Ali who chose to press the door of the car bench second row.
Khairiah was amazed by Ali's character, which reflected an Islamic man who knew manners. It's been a man with a character like Ali. Polite, kind, Sholeh, smart and very keep a distance with the opposite sex.
With an unsettled feeling and a pounding heart. Ali also ventured to sit on the bench next to the driver, which is precisely next to Khairiah. The man looked clumsy and tense.
Ali behaved like that. Because he is not used to communicating with the opposite sex. Even the first woman to talk to him a lot, like now.
"What business does the bank have?" Khairiah opened his voice. He was incessantly holding back a smile. It was funny and nice to talk to Ali. The most mysterious man on campus who has a physical disability. But, it is full of many achievements. Just imagine, Ali will get a bachelor's degree S-1. In 3.5 years. Which if calculated with normal time usually students can complete S-1 it's four years and some even up to 7 years.
"You change ATMs." The answer was friendly, but did not dare to look at Khairiah.
"Oowww... Just like us."
Ali smiled faintly glancing at the khairiah who also stole a glance at him while driving.
"Emmm.. Out of the bank, where are you going, Ali?" ask Khairiah, now no longer want to steal a look at Ali. She was afraid of falling in love with the man next to her. Ali has a very handsome face. Just like an Arab prince.
"Into the field "The answer is quick.
"Want to buy fish?"
"Yes Khai." Sahut Ali, now he glanced at the khairiah at a glance.
"Oohhhhh.. You're celebrating today, right?" khairiah's question surprised Ali. Know where this woman came from?
"Y-yeah, do you know where Khai is from?" Ali was a little shy. Now it looks excited. He was glad that there was also attention on him.
"Hehehe... Nebak aja "Answer Khairiah nengir. Prepare to get off the car. Because they've reached the bank parking lot.
Kening Ali frowned at the ambiguous answer Khairiah. He did not want to know where Khairiah knew his date of birth. He got off the car. They were the same as walking into the Bank building.
When you enter the building. They immediately take queue Customer service section. The queue is long. There are eight more lines.
"We're sitting there yuk!" Khairiah pointed towards a chair that two people could sit on. Yes indeed at that time the bank they came to was solid. I don't want Ali to come along. The empty seats are no more.
When sitting in that soft chair. A beautiful woman he knew passed by in front of him. Walking hunting. That woman is the wife. Who is now sitting not far from the reach of his eyes. At that moment Ruby looked at him.
