Seikhlas Love Afifa 2

Routines that Start to Be Forgotten...

"Dad...!" Calling Thalita brings Fauzi back to his consciousness.

"Eh...Yes dear?", he asked his gaze and averted his eyes that had not been separated from the face of his wife.

"Mother Wulan can stay with us, right?" ask her again with her innocent face.

Fauzi did not reply, he looked back at Afifa, but Afifa just fell silent and looked back at him.

"Honey.." call Wulan, "yes can't be dong...", with a forced smile, "Mother will have her own house, her house is left behind?".

"Yes no papa Mommy, ask Rina Tea to place our house, Father's house is also big" said the child.

"But Mommy is not his wife Daddy dear., yes can not stay at home dong". replied Wulan again.

"Why did Dad divorce Mommy?", asked Thalita again suddenly, making the three more cornered by Thalita's question. The three swallowed each other's saliva. Wulan who did not know about the origin of Thalita asked that only dumbfounded and stared at Fauzi and Afifa alternately asking for an explanation. Fauzi stared at Afifa, as if asking Afifa to explain all the lies she had ever started.

Now Afifa had to rearrange the words so that the child understood and did not think that his birth was a mistake due to the actions of his parents who did not deserve to be imitated.

"Thalita dear.., Here Mother wants to talk", Afifa gave a code with her hand so that Thalita got out of the patient's bed and approached her. Thalita followed Afifa's direction, then followed Afifa sitting on the sofa. "So this is so dear.., in the past, the same father of Mother Wulan was very young, they did not know much about the good or bad things in one marriage, and they did not know much about the good or bad things in one marriage, they also have to face many problems that occur so that they have to separate" explained Afifa.

Thalita frowned, then said again. "But right now, Daddy and Mommy are adults, why not just marry again?" tanyakanya.

Afifa fell silent, this time her question was completely unanswered. Thalita is a smart child, but Afifa did not think that the child's mind would get there, where did she know about marriage and divorce? he is only nine years old.

"Yes can't do that dear dong.", Wulan chimed, "Dad right now already have Mother Fifa", replied Wulan with a smile, saying, her face flushed slightly from feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable with all the questions from her daughter.

"My friend also has one father and two mothers, he said no papa he said". Thalita said again, this time the boy looked serious with his words, making Wulan more wrong behavior, as well as Afifa.

Fauzi walked up to the sofa and sat down beside Thalita.

"Darling..., even though I didn't marry your mother, Thalita still had one Father and two Mothers?" Fauzi smiled at his daughter. "Here..., hug Dad!" Stretch out both his hands.

Thalita smiled widely, then spat out Fauzi's embrace.

Fauzi looked back at Afifa's bowed face, clearly there was so much weight on her mind, yet she always covered everything with a smile.

Two hours passed, Fauzi and Afifa said goodbye to come back with Thalita, again Wulan just cried Thalita left to Afifa. Afifa simply nodded and assured that Thalita would be fine.

************

Afifa accompanied Thalita at night to prepare for sleep, some fairy tales before going to bed he told, but Thalita still difficult to be closed, even though the time had shown at 10:30 pm, making Afifa ask him. "Honey..., why haven't you slept?"

"Thalita to Mother Wulan's mind, Bun", she replied.

"Why?"

"If Mother Wulan has returned home, Thalita can not stay here again" he said sadly.

"Lo's? why then?"

"Kasian Bunda Wulan if Thalita lives alone at home, Mother's hand will hurt, how if Mother wants to eat? wanna drink? wanna work? must be difficult right Bun?", the child seemed to think, "continue what if suddenly Grandpa came and wanted to kill Mother again? Thalita's scared, Bun!" said sad.

Afifa took a deep breath, then patted the shoulder of Thalita who was lying down. "Thalita do not worry, Mother Wulan will be fine, later Mother will often come to help Mother Wulan to Thalita's house yes.., now Thalita sleep first, tomorrow will have to school, will have to go to school, that Abis we pick up Mother in the hospital...How?", Afifa mimicked the talk of children who were happily welcoming the arrival of his mother. He kept trying to calm the child's heart while stroking his head.

"Mother..," Call Thalita again while holding Afifa's hand.

"Hmmmm?"

"Thalita's eyes can't crumble" he whined.

"Mmm..yeah, Mother singin ya?"

"No, Thalita wanted to be read Sholawat aja".

"Sholawat's? which sholawat?"

"That one.mmmm...Man Ana Laulakum", he said, tapping his thumb and index finger.

"Oh.ya already, Mommy mensandungkan sholawatnya yes". And Afifa also began to sing the sholawat Man Ana Laulakum version of Sabyan.

🎵🎵🎵

Man ana ana ana, man ana laulaakum

Man ana ana ana, man ana laulaakum

Kaifa maa hubbukum kaifa maa

🎵🎵🎵

(Who am I, who am I if there is no guidance from you (teacher)

How I don't love you and how I don't want to be with you).

Fauzi who was in his room heard the hum of sholawat chanted Afifa, he came out of the room and noticed the togetherness of Afifa with his daughter from the opening of the door of Thalita's room slightly open. There was a subtle sigh in the depths of Fauzi's heart, seeing the two people he loved the most at this time so close, the calmness and happy smile of both made Fauzi think many times to take off one of them. Fauzi was stunned listening to the lyrics of the sholawat, word-for-word, verse by temple he pondered, suddenly he remembered his Master who had been doing great work to him all this time, who has helped him in every turmoil in his household. "What Kiyai...", he murmured, "Should I see him again to help me face this turmoil? Really, maybe he has a solution to deal with this household crisis ", he thought. Fauzi returned to his room, waiting for Afifa for a long time, but Afifa did not appear in his room. She finally fell asleep.

The night had shown at 11 pm, Afifa continued to hum, until Thalita was completely asleep and did not feel himself asleep beside Thalita.

The morning prayer made Afifa wake up, "Astaghfirullohal adziim", he said, when he realized he was asleep in Thalita's room.he woke up and returned to his room, apparently Fauzi was no longer in the room, he said, maybe he went to the mosque, Afifa thought. "Why can't I remember all night, until I wake up bad luck, there's no time for tahajud", grumbling Afifa to himself while rushing to grab a towel and into the bathroom to clean himself and berwudlu, after finishing with his cleaning activities he also carried out the duty of Fajr Prayer in his room.

Afifa had just folded her face when she heard a phone call from her phone, she immediately saw it and it was Umi's number calling. Afifa immediately received a call. He gasped when Abi's voice sounded there to tell him that Umi had just tried to fall in the bathroom when she woke up earlier, she was in the local public health now.

Without waiting for long, Afifa immediately woke Thalita up for dawn prayers, then made fried rice for the breakfast of her husband and Thalita, everything was ready when Fauzi returned from the mosque, likewise, Afifa, who was dressed in a robe and carrying a bag hanging from his shoulder, and a motorcycle key in his hand, was about to step out of his room.

"Where are you going, Dek?" fauzi asked as he walked into his room and saw that his wife was well-groomed.

"To Umi's house, Brother! just now there was a phone, Umi fell in the bathroom".

"What's? Umi's down?" ask Fauzi.

"Yes, sister!, Fifa asked permission to leave now, Fifa is worried about Umi" Afifa said again.

"Then Thalita?"

"She was awake, and Fifa had breakfast for Aji and Thalita at the table"., Afifa said later, "O yes, Anterin Thalita will go to school, then go back and pick Wulan up at the hospital!" Afifa's voice sounded hurried.

"But..., you're taking the hospital too, right?" ask Fauzi.

"Fifa try, depending on how the condition of Umi later yes".

"Wouldn't we go together to see Umi, Dek?"

"No need, kasian Thalita if you have to not go to school, later Fifa telphon again if something happens with Umi". Afifa stepped out of the room in a hurry. When her feet were right at the door, she turned back to her husband. "Sir.." called him to Fauzi who was still standing watching his hasty movements. "I'm sorry, Fifa fell asleep last night", Afifa bowed in light of her mistake.

"Already, no papa, go!", said Fauzi.

Afifa turned her back and stepped out of the house without kissing Fauzi's hand as usual when she was about to travel.

Fauzi only watched Afifa from afar, there was a bit of disappointment in his heart, he hoped his wife would turn her head back to perform the ritual that had become his daily routine, where his wife's lips will kiss gently the back of his hand as a wife's respect for the hands of the husband who has worked with his hands in supporting the family, and Fauzi's lips will kiss his wife's forehead, where is the place to think a wife to avoid prejudice when her husband is outside the house. But Fauzi only took a deep breath, as he only saw the back of Afifa that kept passing from before him.
