Three days have passed, the routine that usually saturates while in the hospital, addressed casually by Afifa, she actually felt happy because she could fully serve her husband, indeed yes...if with the people we love wherever we are, still the atmosphere feels beautiful.
Afifa friends had come also to the Hospital, of course, Sofi accompanied by Asfir, because his status has now changed.
In the afternoon Fauzi was allowed to go home, Mang ujang and Bi Yati picked him up using Fauzi's car.
***
After the maghrib prayer, Fauzi leaned back on the bed, his condition had improved, only to recover.
Afifa cleaned up the prayer equipment and was about to take the food that Bi Yati had made in the kitchen, but her steps stopped because the sound of her phone ringing, Afifa stopped her steps, and took the phone from her bag.
Afifa fell silent, hesitant to answer the call, her eyes glancing at her husband who was watching her.
"Who's Deck?" asked Fauzi who saw his wife was just speechless.
Afifa handed her phone to Fauzi, "Farid Kak" he said.
"Fuck up! it's okay". Fauzi replied casually, still leaning.
Afifa shifted the screen and meloadspeaker of her phone, then sat down beside her husband.
"Assynogaic"
Greetings waalaikum, how are you Afifa?
"Good God"
I heard your husband went to the hospital? sorry I did not have time to visit him, now that I am in Semarang, how is the condition now?
"Alhamdulillah, it's improved, now we're home, will Brother Farid talk to him?"
Afifa handed over her phone to Fauzi without waiting for Farid's approval.
"Assalamualaikum" said Fauzi
No answer across there
"Assalamualaikum Farid?" Fauzi repeated his greeting.
Eh.waalaikum greetings Mr. Fauzi.
"Call Fauzi?"
Oh yes Fauzi, Emmm.I'm sorry about the incident.
"Sometimes, what we see and hear, doesn't necessarily correspond to reality".
there was no answer from Farid, only Farid's long breath was clearly heard from there.
"Looks like you haven't flinched it?" Fauzi said later
Yeah, I know I shouldn't have done that. Farid's voice sounded full of regret.
"Forget it, if I were in your position, I might as well do the same as you".
Again I'm sorry, I just want to see him happy. Assalamualaikum says.
"Trup" telphon sound closed
"Greetings waalaikum". Fauzi replied,
Afifa and Fauzi fell silent after ending his call with Farid, both immersed in his own thoughts.
Fauzi looked at his wife, his heart said,
He's a good young man, and he loves you so much, if only you would ask him to come back to you, and say that you can no longer live with me who can't make you happy yet, maybe I'll put all my feelings aside to see you happy.
He looked into his wife's eyes perhaps he found a change there after hearing all the conversations between himself and the man who had stopped in his heart, but Afifa's clear eyes only looked at him lovingly towards him.
"Republica..." Fauzi's right hand held onto Afifa's cheek, then rubbed it gently
Afifa smiled, "Yes Brother..."
"Actually, it's easy for you to come back to her, she loves you so much, maybe you'll be happier with her".
Afifa held Fauzi's hand which was still attached to her cheek. "Sister.to me marriage is not just a bond of a person with a fellow human, but a sacred bond that has been united by Alloh, Maybe Kak Aji is not my first love, she said, But ever since you said the word Aqad in front of Penghulu and Abiku, also witnessed by my whole family, I have since determined, that you are my Imam, who will lead me to His Heaven, and that you will be my Imam, I will always be with you, running every second of my life, living the most beautiful and longest service this time is only with you".
Fauzi could no longer speak to his wife, embracing only the tiny body before him, even though his heart gave him thousands of thanks, he felt how lucky he was to get a beautiful wife in his arms at this time.
Fauzi took off his embrace, frowned Afifa long enough, until the drops of tears fell on his cheeks.
Afifa smiled with teary eyes, wiping her husband's tears with both fingers. "Fifa prepare a meal first, sister.wait here for a while".
Afifa got up from her seat, then walked towards the kitchen, she returned with a tray filled with a plate of rice complete with the side dish, as well as a glass of water, she came back with, they both ate in one plate and one glass.
***
After 2 days Fauzi home, his condition improved, he began to go to his shop, to check in and out of goods, as well as the construction of his shop that was delayed.
Afifa also began teaching again, because this week the children have had their semester exams. As usual Afifa always stopped in front of Nisa's school, just to say hello to Nisa, or rather see Talita, and that day, Afifa saw her playing in the school yard with her friends, Afifa did not dare to go to him, just saw him from afar, saw him laugh, for some reason there were two opposite feelings in him, a sense of wanting to embrace him, and a sense of wanting to stay away from him because he remembered his mother. He returned to his motorbike to his teaching place.
***
After school Afifa stopped by her husband's shop, she saw that all the workers were busy serving every buyer, but Fauzi was not in his room. Afifa asked Mang Ujang, she said her husband was checking out the construction of his new shop, Afifa went home, she immediately cleaned up.
Finished bathing Afifa got a message from Fauzi, the,
"Darling, you don't have to cook tonight, we'll have dinner with Wulan".
"Good sister.." message sent.
Afifa was silent reading the message,
but didn't she have a reason for that, Talita.ya talita is her strength.maybe she has suffered so much all this time for raising Talita alone. Ah...Yes Alloh...what should I do? I beg you to give me your instructions.
Afifa's heart raged, rethinking something she had forgotten in recent days. His tears trickled back, but he was determined not to run away from this reality.he had to accept whatever the decision of tonight's meeting was.
***
Evening arrived, after Maghrib both set off by car to meet Wulan at the restaurant of a Mall according to his request.
Arriving in front of Mall Fauzi stopped his car parked, Afifa was still silent in the car, there were doubts that teased his mind.
Fauzi looked at his wife, "Dek.." her hand held Afifa's cold hand and had been squeezed from her lap ever since, "Let's go down!"
"Ah.iya Brother..." Afifa replied nervously.
"Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine, yuk!"
Afifa nodded, then opened the car door and went down to her husband, then grabbed Fauzi's hand which was outstretched to welcome his hand, both of them walked towards the large mall, taking the elevator to the 5th floor, right in the resto area.
The eyes of Fauzi and Afifa went around looking for the figure of the woman he was looking for, each table they looked at, but did not find it, until a girl's voice called for Afifa.
"Mother Teacher...!"
Afifa clarified her hearing, behind the sound of classical singing that continued throughout the resto.
"Mother Teacher Afifa...!" The voice was getting clearer.
"Deg.." Afifa's heart beat faster when she recognized the voice of the child who called her, she turned to the source of the voice, as well as Fauzi.
"Talita?" asked Afifa and hugged her straight away, "were not here?" Afifa's eyes went around, a beautiful woman was sitting on the edge of the child's toy arena, apparently she was looking after her child who was busy playing.
The woman smiled at him as she waved her hand, Afifa instantly released her embrace on Talita.
"Mother teacher with uncle too?" ask the boy, chattering with his tiny lips.
"Yes dear", Afifa replied, "Come greetings!"
"Assalamualaikum uncle" he said adorable as he reached out, then kissed Fauzi's hand.
Fauzi bowed in Talita's high finger, "Waalaikum greetings dear...., may uncle hug you?"
Talita turned to Afifa for her approval, Afifa nodded, she approached Fauzi and hugged him.
At the same time Wulan was already standing beside them, a smile on her pretty face, seeing her daughter's familiarity with Fauzi.
Afifa's smile instantly dissipated as she looked at the woman before her, she retreated a few steps from Talita and her Husband's position, there was pain in her chest upon seeing the situation, they were perfectly compatible, it was like a happy little family, and he felt like a person who came to disturb the happiness of that little family.
Fauzi took off her hug, "Talita's playing again huh?" ask Fauzi
"Yes uncle" replied Talita, then his gaze turned towards his mother, "Mother..This uncle is her husband Bu Guru, right Bu?" Talita looked at Afifa. Afifa smiled as she nodded.
"What's your news?" ask Wulan to Afifa
"Alhamdulillah, both Ma'am, Kak Aji is also healthy now," replied Afifa
"Thank God, the police business is done, too".
"Thank you Ma'am".
"Sama-sama" Wulan replied briefly, still with her trademark smile.
"Mother Teacher...Let's play Talita, Talita bosen play by herself, Come on mom..." Talita said as she pulled Afifa's hand towards the play area.
"Eh...wait a minute dear.., ask permission first with Mother" said Afifa while continuing to follow Talita who just kept pulling her hand.
"Mother can, can't you...?" he shouted because now his position was a bit far from where Fauzi and Wulan stood.
"Be careful...!" shouted wulan.
Afifa could not refuse the innocent child's invitation, but she was forced to follow him to the play area.
Afifa looked at her husband from afar, they seemed to be sitting face to face at one table, whatever they were talking about, but their faces were serious and occasionally looked at him and Talita.
What are they talking about there? my heart hurts so much to see it, why do I feel like their baby sister here? do I have to just shut up to see all this. Yes Alloh.I also can not leave this innocent child,
why did Kak Aji just keep silent to see my position is all wrong, is he deliberately so free to talk to him? then why did he bring me here? if you know it's going to be like this, I better not go with him just now.
Afifa's feelings grew increasingly chaotic, Talita occasionally called out to her, with her forced to smile a little at her, then return to her daydream.
Afifa was eager to scream .. like a wife who found her husband cheating in front of her, but she was not that low, she endured all her feelings, waiting and waiting until they called her.
