NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN S1/S2

Chapter 33. Why Use a Veil?

Andin's eyes looked like they were mocking Rachel's appearance. Not that the woman didn't realize it, but pretended not to know. Rachel even tightened her embrace in Farhan's arm and leaned her head on the man's shoulder.

"Mas, do we have to stand still" said Rachel spoiled.

Farhan invited the two women to sit down. After that, order food. Andin just silently looked at Rachel who just kept hugging her husband's arm. The woman was thankful that Farhan did not pull his hand away. All three were silent, dissolving in each other's thoughts.

"Where do you know?" ask Andin, to break the silence between them.

Farhan and Rachel looked at each other. It was impossible for them to tell the truth where they first met and met.

"Me and Rachel acquaintances at ...."

"We were introduced to Ustadz who taught me how to teach" said Rachel cut Farhan's speech. Her husband nodded his head to convince Andin.

"Teaching teaching? I knew Farhan was good at reading the Quran from childhood. Why study again?" ask Andin. It seemed that he was less sure of the answer Rachel gave.

"It wasn't Mas Farhan studying, but I. I happened to convert" said Rachel.

"Oh, you're a convert." Andin took a deep breath. Maybe he doesn't know what to say anymore. The woman felt uncomfortable because there was Rachel Farhan's wife.

Actually Andin had learned from Mia that Farhan was married. However, from the story she heard from Yuni and Mia, the man still seemed to love her. That was the reason Andin wanted to meet, hoping that Farhan would come alone.

"Sorry Farhan, Rachel, may I know why you chose to cover your face with a veil? What to cover scars on the face or cover acne? Didn't you convert, must not have previously worn the hijab" said Andin.

Hearing Andin's question, Rachel let out a small laugh. Looking at her husband.

"Mas, do you think I used a veil to cover up a cut or a pimple?" rachel asked her husband.

"No, Andin. Rachel had no cuts or pimples on her face. Rachel's face was so smooth. Instead he used a veil to cover the beauty of his face. I asked for it" said Farhan.

"And isn't the hijab obligatory for Muslim women. My two in-laws also said that. They are happy to see my clothes like this, even though they cannot follow the current fashion like Andin," said Rachel.

The answer Farhan and Rachel gave was like hitting Andin's heart. He did not expect that the man praised his wife so proudly. Didn't according to his two best friends Farhan still love him. Is it his friend who lied? Ask Andin in my heart.

Rachel looked at her husband's face with love. Farhan's reply moved him. Although the man did not love her, he still defended her in front of the woman he loved.

The three went back to silence. Not long after, the food they ordered came. Looking at the menu, Andin looked happy. A faint smile was carved from his lips.

"I'd be happy if you ate all this food. You're a lot thinner now" said Farhan.

Andin smiled at Farhan's words. He then looked at Rachel's face, as if to say that Farhan was still concerned with her despite having a wife. Rachel replied with a smile, although maybe Andin did not see it because it was covered in a veil.

The three began to eat the menu available on the table. When you want to take rib soup, the sauce spilled on Andin's clothes. Farhan who saw it immediately stood up and took a handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped Andin's clothes.

Seeing that Rachel took a deep breath. Just now that she was happy and moved that Farhan was praising her beauty, she was thrown back with the fact that her husband still loved her ex. Andin was seen smiling mockingly towards Rachel.

Rachel stood up from her seat. Take a handkerchief from her husband.

"Mas, don't forget 'right with your words, if we can't touch a woman who isn't her mahram" Rachel said.

Farhan was silent. And sit back. He looked a little down, probably aware of his mistake.

"You can clean yourself with that tissue, right? Remember Andin, between you and Farhan it should not touch," said Rachel again reminded the two.

Rachel tried to hold tightness in her chest. Pain felt in the dagger.

"From today I will tell myself, if we don't have to put someone too high. Don't put too much hope on someone, because that's what I did yesterday and it was very painful" Rachel said in her heart.
