Seikhlas Love Afifa

Trying to live apart...

Afifa was riveted, her heart seemed to stop beating, her body was motionless, her gaze was empty filled with a clear liquid that was blocked by her eyelids, her hands were shaking after the message was sent, her tears broke as the phone fell from her grasp.

His body was limp, fell to the floor, then sat leaning to the edge of the bed while hugging his knees.his tears kept coming out, his mind was in a mess thinking about what he had just done, and what was going to happen in the future.

At 09 p.m...

"Tidids.tidids..." The sound of a car horn was heard from outside the gate of her house, Afifa knew it was the sound of her husband's car. He immediately ran to the bathroom and washed his face, seeing the reflection of his face reflected. Afifa came out of her room, took the instant veil hanging from her room, then put it on while walking towards the gate.

Afifa tried to express as much as possible in front of her husband, a smile still able to he singunggu to welcome her husband home.

Fauzi put his car into the garage, after closing and locking the gate and garage, Afifa greeted and kissed her husband's hand. Fauzi holds his wife's shoulder inside the house.

"Fifa make a warm drink, sister"

"Yes, thank you dear" Fauzi replied as she stepped towards the sofa.

Before long Afifa had brought two cups of warm tea, placed in front of her husband.

"How are you, Kiyai?"

"Alhamdulillah, he is good, send greetings also to his beloved santri". Fauzi smiled at his wife.

Afifa smiled but the smile was felt differently by Fauzi, like there was pain trying to be covered.See the face of his wife, his eyes were ashen showing the situation of Afifa's heart that was chaotic at this time.

"Sir..what happened?" asked Fauzi after drinking warm tea made by his wife.

Afifa bowed with a long sigh. "I've contacted Ms. Wulan, and..." Afifa looked at her husband who was still staring at her, Afifa again bowed, "I'm sorry Brother.I don't know what else I have to do to get him to see you, I just suddenly sent him a message that..." Afifa fell silent again, her tears already filling her eyelids.

"What?" Fauzi asked curiously, holding his wife's hand.

"That I would do anything for him to want to meet you and forgive you, though...." Afifa's tears began to fall "I must let you go".

Instantly Fauzi let go of his hand and stood up. "What did you say? why don't you think long? do you know what that means?"

Afifa cried "I know Sis.I.I.m forced to do that".

Fauzi walked back and forth in front of Afifa, then stood up straight and folded his hands, staring intently at his wife who was still bowing with tears in her eyes. "Why did you do something that would only hurt both of us? If that's the woman's request, it's better we don't have to meet her, we'll continue like this, living alone and happy in our own way".

Afifa began to raise her head, "Then what about Talita?"

Fauzi frowned. "Talita? Meanin?"

"Did Aji remember the cute and pretty girl who came to us when we came to Nisa's school?" Fauzi sat next to Afifa, "The boy is Wulan's son, and they live alone in his house. Does Aji understand what he means?"

"Deg....!" Fauzi's face instantly turned pale for a moment, his blood seemed to stop flowing.His mind spun back on the events of 8 years ago, where the mistake happened, a mistake that had changed his life, a mistake that had changed his life, mistakes that never stop haunting him from feeling guilty so that it has an impact on his household relationships to date.

"Does that mean the child is my son?"

Afifa nodded weakly, Fauzi covered her face with her two shaking palms.

"Sister.we must face this reality," Afifa held her husband's trembling shoulders.

"But Deck..."

"I know Sis.but anyway, Talita deserves your affection".

"OK...I will accept the child, but why do you want to let me go? can't we still take care of her and give her our love?"

"But...Sister Wulan asked me to let you go" Afifa bowed again.

"Then you took it for granted?" Fauzi stood up again, and taking a deep and heavy breath, he spoke again in a soft voice, "This is what I've been afraid of all this time, you know? the sense of losing someone we once had is much more painful than losing someone we never had at all,"

Fauzi stepped into the room, his steps halted for a moment, "Just arrange my meeting with him". He said without looking back.

Afifa was just crying looking at her husband passing by from before her.

Long enough that Afifa was pensive on the sofa, she got up and followed her husband into her room, she found him already asleep turning his back on her. Afifa just sighed, then went into the bathroom to clean her face the rest of the crying.

In the morning Afifa woke up, her morning routine was done quickly.When everything was ready Afifa called her husband for breakfast, not a single word came out of their mouths, both were silent, the atmosphere at the beginning of her marriage is now repeated.

Fauzi was ready to take work, As usual Afifa experienced, the two looked at each other, there is a habit that is now lost, they are so awkward, until finally Fauzi spoke.

"Sir..are you sure you're going to meet me with that woman?"

"Yes" replied Afifa bowed

"Are you sure we can live without each other's presence?"

Afifa just shook her head.

"Okay.we will try to live apart for a while, I will focus on the construction of my new shop, and you Dek, if I have to get out of town to take care of my business. later in the afternoon I will take you to Umi's house, we will also try not to connect with each other by phone."

Afifa just bowed down and shed tears, no more words she could say.

After her husband left Afifa to check her phone, there was a message from Wulan, slowly she opened it, then read it with a pounding heart.

"Well, I'll meet you later, I'm out of town right now, when the time comes I'll tell you".

Afifa hugged her phone, a long breath could be heard from her mouth. Afifa kept thinking how to deal with the life he was going to live in front of her.

"Be careful".Fauzi's speech ended with a kiss on the head of Afifa.

Afifa stared at her husband's car which drove away from her.

***

Days passed, Afifa lived his life so hard, every day he just pensive in Nisa's room which he now occupies temporarily. The yearning for her husband grew more and more, but her husband did not contact her, Afifa once ventured to contact her husband, but she undid again, He thought that if he contacted his siamese first it would weaken his intentions.

Afifa also always waiting for news from Wulan, either telphon or just a message. many times Afifa tried to contact him but never once Wulan lifted him, as well as some messages he sent, never reply.

Two weeks had passed, when Wisudapun arrived, Afifa could no longer bear the longing, especially today was a historic day for him. If she does not come, it will be a big question for her family, Afifa tried to contact her husband. Soon her husband raised his call.

Assalamualaik... He heard the voice of someone he missed so much.

Afifa smiled, "Waalaikum greetings, Brother Aji how are you?"

Okay, how are you doing yourself?

"Alhamdulillah, good too... Sis, today I'm graduating, Aji's sister is coming".

Today then?

"Yes"

What'sthetime?

"Hour 9"

But I'm not at home, I'm sorry I forgot about it.

Afifa took a breath, her heart was so disappointed, so quickly did her husband forget her, forget the most important moment of his life, making Afifa think, What exactly did her husband do for 2 weeks? did he not feel as Afifa did?

"Oh...So Aji can't come? but Umi will definitely ask Sis".

Just tell me I'm not done with my business

Afifa began to shed tears, but she immediately brushed him off.

"Well, if Aji can't, Fifa will go with Abi and Umi".

Yes, please give them my apology

"Yes, Assalamualaikum"

Salam Waalaikum

"Trup" telphon closed,

Afifa hugged the phone in front of her chest, teardrops kept coming out of her eyelids. He saw the clock at 7 am, he got up and immediately cleaned himself.

Afifa was preparing to depart from Umi's house and her family using her uncle's car, she looked elegant with a kebaya suit combined with a batik skirt that had been purchased with her husband, at 09:00 They had arrived at the graduation hall, Afifa immediately wore the clothes of the graduation majors (Toga), Afifa walked towards the crowd of students who were already wearing the same clothes, he said, then join his friends and sit according to the seat sequence number listed on the invitation of the event. Umi and Abi sat in a special room for the family.

The event was lively, it was time to award outstanding students, Nama Afifa was called to be greeted with boisterous applause from all the graduates and invited guests who attended.

Afifa was very grateful, tears did not feel dripping on her cheeks, other than because of the absence of her husband at that time, she also did not expect, behind the chaos of her household she was able to get through everything, Afifa was given the opportunity to speak on the podium, Afifa thanked Alloh, thanked all the lecturers and deans as well as a very big thank you to Umi and Abinya, as well as her husband, her husband, and the dean, and there was a friend who contributed in completing the final task, Farid.

While on the podium, Afifa paused his speech for a moment, her eyes fixed on the shadow of someone standing far away at the end of the building, she narrowed her eyes to clarify her gaze, she said, but the shadow was immediately lost with the claps of the audience who were in the big building. Afifa spoke again, and closed his speech with a greeting.

The clapping sound grew louder, as the Dean and the lecturers greeted him and congratulated him.

Afifa dropped off the podium and rejoined his friends.

When she finished, ending with a photo2 session of all students and families, her two friends kept asking why her husband had not come for her, with great difficulty also Afifa explained to them the reason, of course, so that they do not suspect.other case with Sofi, he always knew if his best friend was having problems, but he did not have the opportunity to ask at this time.

Sofi reminded back to her two best friends about her marriage, she kekeh asked the two to come later in the afternoon.

"Fa, so your husband didn't come? though I want to ask permission directly to him," said Sofi.

"Yes Sof.His job is not finished, but you are calm, later in the afternoon I will come anyway, let me ask her permission via telphon". Afifa calmed her friend.

"I must have come too..."Sari said.

"Wokey.. I'm waiting!" Sofi smiled, the three hugged before they parted to return home with their families.
