After finishing the meal and cleaning up the kitchen, Jihan returned to her room. With no job and she still on leave, Jihan decides to arrange her clothes in the closet to reduce saturation.
Jihan was startled when she suddenly heard the ringing sound of her phone, she rushed to grab the flat object and smiled as she looked at the caller's ID.
“Halo, assalamualaikum, Ummi.” Gentle Hihan greeting.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, Son. What are you again?”
“I again put together my clothes in the closet, Ummi. Last night did not have time.”
“Where is your husband?”
Suddenly Jihan was nervous, she couldn't possibly tell the truth. She also knows for sure, it is not good for a wife to open her husband's disgrace, even to her own parents.
“Hmm. Mas Ammar is in the bathroom, Ummi.” Reply Jihan lied. Yes, he was forced to do that, even though his heart felt guilty for the rest of his life, this was the first time he lied to the woman who had given birth to him.
“Oh. What about being a wife? Fun not?”
Again Jihan was electrocuted to hear her question, but she had no choice but to lie back. “Alhamdulillah, fun, Ummi.”
“Remember yes, Son. You have to be a good wife. Always serve your husband earnestly, obedient to the husband, do not make your husband angry because Ridho husband is Ridho Allah.”
“Iya, Ummi. I always remember kok.” Said Jihan with a trembling voice.
“Alhamdulillah if you always remember.”
“Hem .... Ummie. Something I want to ask.” Doubtful Jihan said.
“What, Nak?”
“If our husband does something wrong, we as wives can't rebuke him?” Scared Jihan asked.
“As a wife, we can remind the husband if he is wrong, especially if it violates the sharia. But still have to be with soft and polite language, can not be rude. Never raise your voice in front of him. Wh why? Did Ammar make a mistake?”
“Eh ... no .. no, no, no, Ummi. I'm just asking.” Jihan rebutted quickly before the Ummi became suspicious.
“Son, in the household it is usual that if there is a problem, the name is also two hearts and minds made one. There must be a difference of opinion, especially you are still newlyweds and do not understand each other. But we have to finish with a cool head, don't get carried away by emotions. And remember, your paradise is on husband.”
“Iya, Ummi. I understand kok.” Reply Jihan.
“Ummi know you're a Sholehah woman. You will not disappoint Abi and Ummi.”
In that instant too Jehan's tears fell down her cheeks, so much so that her parents pinned their hopes on her. How could she possibly hurt their trust with the painful drama inside her household.
“Ya already, Ummi hang up first. You're fine there, huh? Remember always Ummi's message. Greetings to your husband.”
“Iya, Ummi will deliver. We love you very much too. Assalamualaikum.”
“Wa’alaikumsalam, Ummi.”
After the phone call from Umminya was cut off, Jihan immediately cried as much as she could until her shoulders shook. I don't know, what will the story of his household continue?
If Jihan can peer into fate, maybe she can prepare her heart to face what happened, but Jihan is just an end-time woman who can't guess her life scenario.
The pain she received at the beginning of this marriage made Jihan realize if God was testing her patience, she knew God was preparing something better for her. Jihan only hoped to continue to be strong in the face of all this.
Although not considered and Ammar repeatedly ignored him, but Jihan still wants to serve the husband, being a good wife. For he married Ammar to perfect his worship and all because of Allah. Consider this the test that the almighty gives to raise his degree.
Is he stupid? Not at all! He just tried to rely and pursue Ridho Allah.
Not wanting to be dissolved in the wave of sadness, Jihan decided to ablaze and perform Dhuha Prayer. So hurt, Jihan again cried as she chanted a prayer.
“Alloohummna inniiasaluka ta’jiila ‘aafiyatika washobron ‘alaabaliyyatika wakhuruu minaddun-yaa ilaa rohmatika. O Allah, I ask You, grant Your salvation for me and keep giving me patience in the face of Your trials and the grace of Your mercy. Aamiin.”

Leaving behind the frenzy and noise at his friend Miranda's wedding, Ammar searched for a safe place and immediately contacted Yusuf.
“Halo, Pa.” Greet Ammar after the phone is connected.
“You must want to collect Papa's appointment, right? We'll talk about it later. Now Papa is busy.”
“Pa, I have something to say. Papa and Mama should know if Jihan is not a good woman.” Ammar said without shady aling-aling.
“Don't talk nonsense, Mar. Papa knows very well what Jihan is like. Papa and Mama know both him and his family.”
“Papa should trust me!”
“Already. Papa again on this road.”
Joseph hastily ended his conversation with Ammar, and obviously upset his son for mercy.
“Aaaah, shit!!” ammar maki. “Papa will regret knowing who he is.”
Ammar returns to the party and joins Miranda and her friends.
