Seikhlas Love Afifa

Khitbah Sofi

Afifa spent the night with anger, the pain that was scratched in her heart was so deep, the hope and anticipation of the love from her husband for her all this time, has now disappeared.

Only a lament of regret was he now contemplating, as if asking why all this had to happen to him.

That night Afifa did not move from his seat, still faithful on the sofa with the television still on which he did not see at all. For quite a long time he was pensive and occasionally still left tears, until finally he fell asleep by leaning on it.

In the morning at dawn, Afifa woke up, she rushed to the bathroom in her room. When she entered the room, she did not find her husband. Afifa did not care, he continued his intention, took a bath and prayed at dawn.

When Afifa in the mosque heard the sound of the door being opened, Afifa immediately saw who came. It turns out that her husband had just returned from the mosque, Afifa returned to the mosque room, there was absolutely no desire to greet him.

Fauzi had been sitting in a sofa as usual waiting for a cup of coffee served by his wife.

Finished with her prayers, Afifa came out of the mosque, her eyes had seen her husband, she immediately went into the kitchen, made a cup of coffee and drove him to her husband. Afifa put the coffee on the table right in front of her husband, but not a word came out of her mouth. He went back to the kitchen to do his morning activities, ranging from grandson dishes, washing clothes, sweeping, mopping to make breakfast, several times Afifa passed Fauzi but they did not greet each other at all. Afifa continued to work without a word coming out of her mouth, which made Fauzi quite misbehaved. Several times Fauzi seemed to want to start greeting his wife, but several times he also expressed his intention. The atmosphere continued until they had breakfast at the dinner table.

"What's the day for college?" Ask Fauzi.

Afifa shook her head

"Teach out?"

Afifa also shook her head.

"Hmmm...So to your temen house?"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Afifa briefly. Afifa got up from the dining chair, then cleaned the empty plate on the table and brought it to the kitchen, then washed it.

Fauzi did not ask anymore he was still sitting in the dining chair while continuing to pay attention to the movements of his wife who did not want to talk. After a long time he stepped into his room and went into the bathroom to clean himself up.

Afifa is still faithful in the kitchen doing what she can do when Fauzi comes out of the room already in neat clothes complete with her briefcase and car keys in her hand.

"Daddy.." call him. "I'll go first."

Afifa did not reply, she just fell silent, pausing her activities, without turning her back.

As Fauzi waited for him, he probably hoped Afifa would come up to him and kiss his hand as usual. But it did not happen Afifa just fell silent not moving. Finally, Fauzi set his foot toward the front door.

Afifa was still silent, tears began to fill her eyelids. After the sound of her husband's car came out of the gate of her house, Afifa cried bitterly as if she wanted to vent all the frustration, disappointment and pain she could endure.

*****

In the afternoon at 05:00 Afifa left for Sofi's house using his motorcycle.not to forget he bought a few hands for Sofi's family. It was almost dark when Afifa arrived at Sofi's house. Afifa was warmly welcomed by her best friend's family who she had known for a long time. Sofi's house is quite crowded, her extended family has gathered to take part in this special night. As much as possible Afifa always smiled, even though there was pain that he covered from everything.

The entourage of the applicants came at exactly 7pm and was greeted with joy by the big family of Sofi. Afifa was sitting right beside Sofi who looked graceful with thin makeup and dress dress sar'i, Afifa could not get out of her seat because Sofi did not want to let go of her hand. His hands were cold, his face red. Afifa smiled remembering the same incident when she was proposed by Fauzi, but immediately her smile faded after recalling the incident last night.

"Fa..." Call Sofi half-whispering disperse Afifa's daydream "Sari Kok hasn't come yet?"

"I'll call him soon".

Afifa seemed to be talking briefly on the phone while whispering. "He's up ahead, blocked by the men's fall." Afifa whispered to Sofi. Sofi smiled, she was happy that her two best friends were present at this happy moment.

Looks like a man dressed in a white shirt with a black peci into the house held by his parents.of course Afifa knew him, Kak Asfir. They sat down following the group.

Soon Sari approached Afifa and Sofi entered from the back door. "Hey...Sof, look at your handsome husband-to-be". His whisper.

"Eh ye greet, instead of greeting".

"Hehe...Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikum salam. Uh. you base it..." Afifa pointed her index finger at Sari. Sofi just smiled at the behavior of her two friends.

"Eh Fa..isn't that Farid?" Ask Sari who had been stealing glances at all the guests present.

"Where?" Ask Sofi curiously.

"That's.that's sitting by the door.that's wearing a gray shirt."

Sofi and Afifa looked in the direction Sari pointed. Sofi's house is quite large, so that the group of 12 people can enter his house.

Farid seemed to be sitting cross-legged among the group, his handsome face wearing a grey shirt with half-sleeved sleeves combined with black material pants, make it look different and become the second center of attention after the groom of course.

As soon as Afifa's face turned pale, her mind recalled what Farid had said in the campus yesterday.

"Yes, the Fa...How can Farid join the group?" sofi asked her quivering her daydream.

"Yes..why?". Afifa asked back

"That's...Farid how can I join the group?" Sofi repeated her words.

"Maybe Asfir asked. He's his friend".

"O yes.maybe."

"Wah..so they are victorious? If Afifa is the same as Farid you can dobble date tuh haha... Oops..." Sari closed her mouth. "Sory.beleblosan". Afifa just glared at Sari.

The voice of greeting pak ustad stopped the conversation between the three friends.

"Assalamualaikum warohmatullohi...Thank God the eagerly awaited Company is present in the midst of us all. Looks like this hitbah show can be started soon. bla... bla... bla...."

The sermon was finally finished with the end of the gift of a jewelry box containing a ring from Asfir's mother to Sofi, the box was opened by her mother Sofi, the ring was taken and fimasukan to Sofi's finger. Everyone applauded, they looked happy.

The last event is eating... The courtyard of Sofi's house is very spacious, overgrown with shady trees that make it feel cool, there is also a spacious terrace on the edge of his house with a fiber canopy roof, fiber, Sofi's family deliberately served food on the porch on the side of his house made buffet. To make the guests comfortable provided also some tables surrounded by 4 chairs around it.

Afifa sat with Sofi and Sari at one of the tables near the tree, with the food served on her desk, the three of them were engrossed in talking until their food ran out.

The night was getting late, the Asfir family came home.they shook hands and one by one left the courtyard of Sofi's house, as well as the big family of Sofi. But not with Asfir and Farid, he asked his family for permission to stay for a while on the grounds of wanting to get to know more about Sofi's family.

The three friends were back in their seats, they both planned to stay the night. Two men walked up to them. Sofi looked awkward, her face met with red.

"Hi Sof.welcome to you" Sapa Farid told Sofi.

"Thank you, sister." Sofi replied with a smile.

"Can we sit here?" asked Asfir his gaze did not turn away from Sofi who blushed in embarrassment.

"Afifa Sari hasn't come home yet?" Farid asked. staring at the two alternately.

"We want to stay here sister.masa cewe night-night home alone". Answer Sari. Afifa was just speechless letting the sari answer Farid's questions.

"Oh...Fauzi didn't come here Fa?" Farid asked again, hoping Afifa would talk.

"No." she answered briefly

"Why?"

"There's work."

"Till this late?"

"It's none of your business".

Afifa's reply made Farid shocked as well as the three people who were there.

"Pha...You're okay, right?" Sofi asked who was astonished by the attitude of her best friend.

"Ah...No. I'm fine." Afifa replied, she also felt astonished by what she had just said.

"But you.kamu..." The sari's words stopped

"I think I'll just go home, Sof..." Afifa thought she should go home, if she stayed at Sofi's house, surely the whole night would continue to be plagued with endless questions from her two best friends.

"But Fa..this is already night. later if there is anything, where do you bring your own motor again?" Sofi is worried

"Yes Fa.kita nginep aja". said Sari.

Afifa looked at her wrist. " It's only nine o'clock, it's still afternoon. Just calm down, I'll be fine".

"Are you sure Fa?" ask Asfir

"Yes." Yeah."

"Look, if you're going to go home, your bike is just here, I'll bring a car, let me drive it".

"Emmm.it seems not necessary Brother Asfir...I'm also going to hang out tomorrow, too, if there's no motor." Afifa.

"Fa.but be careful..." Sofi held both hands of Afifa. Afifa smiled and nodded. They also hugged the sari.

"Yes, I went home first...Assalamualaikum..."

"Waalaikum greetings...Be careful...!"sari and Sofi shouted after Afifa got off the terrace and picked up the bike. Farid looked at Afifa, he felt guilty by what she said earlier.

Afifa motor turns on and starts to slowly drive out of the courtyard of Sofi's house...Suddenly Farid ran after Afifa's motorbike.

"Fa..wait...!" Farid's hand was already holding the back of the Afifa motorbike, making Afifa stop his motorbike which was already on the side of the road that was already quiet. "Are you gone because of my existence?"

Afifa.

"I'm sorry Fa. and please don't hate me".

"I don't hate you. I just want you not to interfere with my life".

"But Fa..."

"And one more.please forget everything that ever happened between us". Afifa turned the starter motor back on.

Farid immediately jumped in front of the bike, his body was highlighted directly by the motor light, making Afifa shocked. "I'd love to forget you too, Fa. I've tried, but I can't, those memories are too good for me."

"Hey...Be aware...I'm married..." Afifa's voice was rising.

"I know.I know.but I know you're not happy with him".

"Lunches...."Afifa swallowed her saliva. "Do you know about my life?..my happiness?" Afifa looked at Farid's eyes. His round eyes seemed to be flushed with angry marks.

"I know everything, I know you're not happy, I know every night you cry, I even know, you haven't been touched by your husband one bit." Farid widened his eyes, he covered his mouth with one hand. Those words just came out of his mouth.

"Dueeeer..." Afifa felt that there was a thunderbolt grabbing and squealing her ears...At once Afifa was silent sculpting.the whole body shook, his face was pale, his knees were limp until the motor he was sitting on was almost flat because his legs were unable to withstand the balance of the motor.

Farid quickly held down the Afifa motor. "Fa...You're okay, right? The fa...Afifa..." Farid yelled while shaking Afifa's back because Afifa was just silently not reacting. Farid's feet lowered the standard side of the Afifa motor. Farid's screams rang out all the way to Sofi's porch. Instantly, the two friends of Afifa and Asfir ran to the source of the voice.

"I'm sorry Fa..." Said Farid with a clear tone because of worry.

Afifa was awakened from her shock. He immediately brushed off the hand of Farid who was still holding his shoulder. Turn on the stater and re-raise the standard side of the motor. Quickly Afifa took off his bike leaving Farid and his three new friends to approach him.

"What's Rid?" ask third.

"Fir..hurry and get your car, we must follow Afifa".

"But Afifa why?" sofi and Sari asked in confusion.

"I'll explain later, Hurry up...!"

Without further ado Asfir ran towards his car followed by Farid. "Later to call Sof.." he shouted at Sofi who was still confused.

Asfir's car came out of Sofi's yard and then shot towards the road to Afifa's house.
