Married for Marriage (Haris And Hana)

Chapter 18: The Caterpillar Incident

The sun has risen. Hana has finished all her homework. Starting from cooking breakfast, sweeping, mopping, to sweeping the yard he has been working on. He also intended to bathe and pray dhuha.

Today is sunday. Haris is also on office holiday, he was also busy from the end of dawn prayers, watering plants, washing cars, bringing clothes to laundry, filling the gallon water and other work that could be done.

“Mas water in bathroom why can die ya?” Hana asked Haris who was enjoying his avocado juice while reading the newspaper.

“Before I check first” Haris directly moves following Hana to the room.

It turns out that the water in the bathroom in the main room is indeed jammed.

“You shower in the bathroom outside only yes. Tomorrow I call the handyman, it looks like there is a malfunction”

“Alright then” Hana said while nodding.

Haris has not yet left Hana's room, but Hana wants to get a towel and a change of clothes. Haris kept looking at him. Hana was wrong. Harris seemed to be thinking of something.

“Hana.,” call Haris later. Haris walked over to Hana.

“I, yes, what's up mas?” Hana answered nervously. He felt that there was a strange gurgle from Haris that was unusual.

“It... it” Haris keeps approaching while staring at Hana. This girl also walked backwards.

“Hmh, briefly..” Haris trying to reach Hana. Hana's getting less and less.

“Sorry yes..” Haris reached into the handkerchief in her pants pocket and took something in Hana's head and threw it out. Hannah was confused to see what Haris was doing.

“Mas, what was that?”

“Oh, it's nothing. That was a caterpillar in your head” Haris said casually.

Not to surprise Hana. Reflex involuntarily he pulled his veil and put it to the floor. Haris was stunned to see Hana's reaction. He was a little stunned to see his neck.

“Mana mas, where are the caterpillars. Where's the caterpillar?!” Hana asked half-screaming as a wobbly look around her body. He shuddered and shuddered in horror. He doesn't care about his veil anymore.

They were near the open door because Haris had just finished throwing the caterpillar that had been perched in Hana's veil. Then, Haris swiftly took the towel dried nearby and covered his wife's head. He's still shaking. Face paled. Sanking was afraid of the caterpillar, he could not think clearly.

Haris pulls Hana's hand inside with the previous time he still had time to close the door. Haris sat Hana on the sofa and sat next to her.

“The fur is no longer there. Already dumped. Absolutely not stuck everywhere” Haris looked into Hana's eyes while holding it to make sure that he did not lie. Slowly shaking Hana's body disappeared.

“Thank you, Mom! ” Hana said softly while looking down and now holding tightly to the towel attached to her head.

Hana's too embarrassed now. He did not expect his phobia of caterpillars could be overreacting like this. Up to this level. Surprisingly he was just a phobia against caterpillars. Yep. Just a caterpillar. Luckily her hair was still not visible, because under her hood, Hana was still wearing a small inner hair cover.

”You're afraid of caterpillars, hm?” Tanya Haris frowned.

Hana nodded still.

“That's a human thing, some people do experience something like this...” Haris paused on his words then continued,

“But ask tolooong once to pay a little attention to the actions you take. I know you're reflexes and in a state of panic. But still the act of opening a veil like that can not be justified. Luckily, no one passed by. There's only me whose incident is your husband. If until someone sees your aura even if only a strand of hair, I'm honestly not ridho. Hana, I'm jealous! And Allah forbids dayyuts, haram husband who has no jealousy towards his wife.” Haris said quietly and gently but emphasized the last sentence on her voice.

Hana's eyes glazed over. He regretted. But just now, he was really in the subconscious.

“Hopefully you can remember this and not repeat again” Haris closes his sentence.

Just flipping his body in a mattress. Just wanting to rest cannot. Truly the words of Haris ganged up on his head. Like a broadcast that played repeatedly without pause, the word magic managed to hypnotize the entire contents of his head. He got distracted when he heard the phone ringing. Yura's name was perched on the front page of the screen, though,

“Assalamu’alaikum Ra.” Hannah answered a call from her best friend.

“Wa’alaikumsalam. Tomorrow around noon do you have time?”

“Alhamdulillah empty, what's up Ra?”

“Tomorrow noon Gibran arrived at the airport, he asked me to invite you also to pick him”

Deg deg deg

Hana's heart raced fast. Gibran's arrival tomorrow. He scratched his head which was not really itchy. How's this…

“I can't refuse not to take you to the airport, Hana. Gibran just didn't know about your marriage. In a moment if he finds out, it will definitely stay away from you” Yura continued.

“Good Yura. God willing, tomorrow I'll come with you to the airport. I'll ask permission first to mas Haris”

Hhhhhhhhhh, Hana let out a long sigh. It was not that he objected to picking up Gibran, it was just that he was not ready to see the man back. Too sick and painful. He was afraid he could not control his feelings. He is still not too mature to deal with a situation like this.

Hana went to open the door to her room to Haris's office.The clock was 20:30. Hana sees Haris focusing on his work making reports.

“Mas, sorry I interrupted briefly” Haris turned his head,

“What's Hana? Sit lah”

“Mas, I want to ask for permission to exit tomorrow afternoon. I'm going with Yura to pick up her brother who just came home from Morocco. He asked for help to accompany him”.

“His brother is male or female?”

“Laki-mas”

Haris thought for a moment. I don't know why he felt so unhappy to hear it.

“Hmh, okay. Be careful, do not be too Tired, if your business is done, hurry home”

“Good mas, thank you”

“O yes, home key you just bring, I will bring the absorb” key

“Baik” Hana almost left Haris for her room. However,

“Hana, briefly!” The girl looked back

“Tomorrow night I will take you out to eat, God willing tomorrow I will come home soon. You also please go home a little faster" Haris said.

Hana nodded in agreement. Then the shadow disappeared behind the door.

Haris nodded his head which did not hurt. He is still dizzy with the request of Arini's mother. And Hana had no idea of the problems that had befallen her at all. He hopes that by tomorrow inviting Hana to eat outside will reduce the burden on his head a little. Or, did he really just not want Hana to linger outside to see her sister Yura?
