The Chosen Heart
Episode 3



_ Just as the morning always comes, so does hope _


" You don't mind?, "asked Hanan as if doubting, not expecting the innocent-looking wife to say that.


" I mean," Zahwa seemed to curse himself for saying it all. Hanan was smiling ignorantly, and stood up to her. Zahwa's legs shook, seeing her husband walking towards her. His mind is no longer troubled. He just stood up, and closed his eyes. For a few moments, nothing happened. Zahwa opened his eyes again.


" Eh "His murmur, he did not see Hanan, and immediately turned around. Hanan was lying on the edge of the bed. Uncover her. Huh! Zahwa breathed a sigh of relief. His palm stuck to his chest, like his today several times he was exercising the heart.


Finally Zahwa came to lie down, and of course he did not dare to lie on his back, let alone face Hanan. They're squatting each other.


Not a bad start, right?

The morning was so bright, Hanan was seen wearing a white shirt and glasses was sitting in the central focus room with Leptop in front of him. His fingers were agile on the keyboard Leptop, occasionally his eyes looking at the paper documents he had placed next to Leptop. Maybe he'll get back to work.


"Mas Hanan, here's the coffee" said Zahwa, who arrived with a cup of hot coffee.


"Thank you" Hanan replied, but he seemed to be focusing too much on work, until he could not see Zahwa in front of him. Zahwa, who saw her husband busy, immediately returned to the back, afraid of disturbing because she also did not know what else to do.


After a few minutes, Hanan looks neat, he's about his office bag. He's getting ready for work.


" Zahwa ? " Call hanan a little hard.


" Yes, "Zahwa was seen rushing to see her husband.


" I go to the office, and if you want to go shopping or whatever it is up to, use this, " said hanan, he gave an ATM to Zahwa . Zahwa hesitated to accept it.


" It's already in your name, I've made this up long before we got married, the bank staff who gave it to me a few days ago. So you don't have to say ', " Hanan explained.


" Thank you, "that word she can say.


" It is good that I go, Assalamualaikum. " Greetings Hanan


" Waalaikumsalam, be careful mas." Reply zahwa, want him to shake hands but it looks like Hanan quickly passed. Ride his car and die in his yard.

Clings


The voice of Zahwa's phone, like there's an incoming message on his WhatsApp.


***Mas Hanan**


I asked someone to send a housekeeper. So take a break lah*.


The contents of his chat, as if Hanan knew that Zahwa was currently exhausted. How not , quite spacious house. Sweeping the page alone takes at least half an hour, if it is done quickly. Not yet with his house.


Thank you mas, if you don't mind the truth I asked permission to hire Asih monks, all this time he took care of Father and Mother


Zahwa replied to hanan chat. He just remembered that his own house was now empty. And after his parents died pasih ik, his domestic assistant first permission to resign. The weight of the heart is actually because all this time the pity is also taking care of her from childhood, but at that time she also could not ask to stay, either, because she also does not know how her husband's house will be. And for a while her house used to be her contract.


*Mas Hanan


Ok. No papa**


Reply Hanan. A smile broke on Zahwa's lips, even though she was not so close to her husband, but at least she did not feel depressed. Hanan also seemed to be paying a little attention to him.


Zahwa immediately contacted bik Asih. He told me he could work again. Maybe the difference is no longer in her house, but in her husband's house.


"Yes Bik, I'll send you the address after this. Thank goodness Bik Kasih has not returned home. I am happy to be together to make Asih again, thank you for wanting to nemenin Zahwa again yes bik " said Zahwa . A sense of happiness emanated on his face hearing and talking to the person he might have considered his parents as well, even though he was actually just a housekeeper. Sometimes people get closer than other families.


*Mas Hanan


Zahwa, later if the lovebirds have come can you ask for help? Ask to clean the upper room at the end. My sister the day after will return from her studies**.


Chat logged in again from Hanan. Without a second thought, Zahwa immediately replied to the message with "Ok " only.


"I think Hanan is an only child, '' Zahwa said. But he didn't care much, and immediately went inside the house. Unknowingly he had been outside for too long. Though drying it was finished from earlier.
