Learning to live without a husband

Married The Second

Chapter 6's

That afternoon the voice of the adzan magrib was reverberating, before breaking their fast and the family performed Maghrib prayer first.

After that they together enjoy the Iftar dish at the dinner table. Simple menu, Umi cooking vegetables with a potluck side dish. Indeed life in the village is very simple, the majority of the villagers are farmers, including both Aisyah's parents.

"Will we pray tarawih?" Bring Akhmad

"Yes Ais, let your heart also calm down." Imbuh Umi, indeed Aisyah has been in the village this week, he has not also appeared his feet to the mosque where he used to spend his childhood by worshiping and teaching.

"Yes umi" answered Aisha briefly, whatever she had in mind at that time, love sometimes defeats everything, even love for someone can override his duty to God.

"Have not thought about Anwar again son, you and he are divorced, now you must be strong and eager to look at a better future again son" abi said he encouraged his daughter who was still overwhelmed with sadness.

After finishing the meal, Aisyah helped her mother clean the dinner table, she washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. After that he returned to his room to prepare his prayer equipment.

In the room, he sat on the side of his bed, he opened his phone, saw the photos of his friendship with Anwar. Again he shed his tears, longing for the figure of the man who had occupied his heart for these three years. It took a long time to remove Anwar's figure from his heart, he suddenly thought about whether Anwar also felt longing as he felt, he said, or he had indeed forgotten the woman who had faithfully accompanied him all this time.

"Maybe you have forgotten me, you must be happy with your choice" Aisyah said as she looked at a photo of her ex-husband. He steadied his heart, this time he had to struggle to forget his past with Anwar, although it looks difficult, he was sure that with time, one day the love will fade. 

He took a deep breath, his fingers began to compartmentalize the mobile phone screen. With a clear droplet falling from both her neutrals, she steadily erased all of Anwar's photographs, then she also packed all of his belongings related to her ex-husband, then throw it in the trash pit behind his house.

"Where are you from Ice?" Asked his mother, he looked at the expression on his daughter's face that looked more excited.

"Oh that's Umi, Ais has just thrown away the wedding album and stuff from Anwar mas. Ais wants to learn to forget about Anwar from now on" explained Aisyah. 

 

 "Alright Umi" Aisyah said as she accelerated her steps towards the room. He took the alphabet he had prepared earlier, then went out with his family to the mosque near his house, maybe the distance of the house with the mosque is only 100 meters.

"Loh Bu Fatimah's... Aisha is healthy, right? I heard that she was divorced by her husband, yes ma'am" said one of her neighbors.

"Be patient y Aisyah, just accept your destiny" the other neighbors reproached

"Makanya to ndok, so the woman must be smart to take care of herself, pamper the husband, love the husband of offspring so that your husband does not cheat" said another neighbor again.

He looked at the face of his daughter who was also looking at him. It felt like he had just breathed a sigh of relief to be able to see the spirit of his daughter, but the speech of his neighbor made Bu Fatimah's heart sad, those words must have been offensive and hurtful to his daughter.

"I'm sorry it's the month of fasting, why do mothers talk about my daughter like that, do mothers want your fast worship to be a sin. All these trials come from God, you should not judge my daughter" Abi said a little emotionally, which father was strong to hear the inappropriate words said.

"Ih is the truth so to Mr. Thalib, that's all about sewot" said the mother cynically

"Let's go in" said the mother again as she invited the other two neighbors

Finally the mothers who like to preach it entered first, Ms. Fatimah held her daughter's hand while encouraging "Patience son, do not listen to the words of these mothers yes"

"Yes umi, I know. This will all make the spirit to look at the future of Ais." Bright Aisyah pretended to smile, in fact her heart hurt like it was sliced by a sharp dagger.

"Abi, sorry I'm Ais. Because the Ais neighbors so talk about our family" added Aisyah the other hand grabbed her father's arm. He smiled at his daughter's behavior.

"It's not all your fault, son, let's go in, may all of our hearts be given spaciousness and patience. God willing, God will guide him." Bright Abi

The three of them stepped into the mosque, while Akhmad had joined his friends earlier.
