The In-Law Choices

Chapter 18

"Murby?".

Fatimah sat down beside Aisha.

"Why are you crying here? and the one you sent to the hospital?". Fatimah asked confusedly.

Aisyah was sad again and hugged Fatimah. "Albar fell Ummi, hit his head on the floor". Lirih Aisha.

Fatimah was shocked and then took off Aisyah's embrace to find certainty from her speech. "So how is Albar now? He's fine, right?".

Aisyah nodded, relieving Fatimah's heart. She was worried what happened to her granddaughter. "Why are you crying here? Your son needs your presence now".

Aisyah re-embraced Fatimah sadly, her heart so hard hit with the bitter reality she was going through now. Her heart was broken to see her husband only focus on making out with other women in front of her, and worse, her in-laws were very supportive of their relationship.

Fatimah let Aisyah cry until her heart calmed down a little in her arms. She knew Aisyah heavily told her the problem to the woman who had raised her. He rubbed Aisyah's back giving strength.

"Why is Ummi here? Who's sick?". Ask Aisyah after feeling better.

"It's okay, I just came to see someone". Her breast while helping to wipe away the rest of Aisyah's tears.

"Ohhh, who, Ummi? I know the guy?". Aisyah asked a little curiously.

"I don't think so". Reply Fatimah a little bit. He then switched the conversation so that Aisyah did not continue to ask.

"You, if you feel very bad, it would be nice for you to go to prayer, bow down to God, complain to him, ask for help and guidance from Him, God willing you must be calmer and your mind clear to find a way of completion".

Aisha was bowed, she realized she was so far from the creator, omnipresent her servant.

"Ummi doesn't know what you're going through right now, and ummi won't force you to say that. But you must know, We still have a God who is all, if you feel the weight of the burden that you bear, many will pray and think, God willing your mind and heart will become calmer, you can also find a way out of your problems even though complicated ".

"Don't just keep looking for a way out without praying to God, calm your mind first and think a good way out. You still bow down to God a lot, don't you?". Ask Fatimah full of questions.

Fatimah's question managed to slap Aisyah who had no longer prayed since meeting Rehan.

The two of them then re-entered the hospital with a different purpose, Fatimah headed to the room where Albar was treated, while Aisyah headed to the hospital mosque.

Coincidentally the hospital mosque is now idle, the time has shown at 4 pm, the Asar prayer congregation has just decomposed. So Aisyah can freely cry without disturbing other pilgrims.

Aisyah used the mucena provided by the hospital and began to establish prayers. A soft cry rang out from his mouth, he spilled all the tightness in his chest by prostrating to God.

"Thou art your servant, Allah! Servant knows that all these trials come at your will, you want to rebuke me who was negligent and even forgot my duty as a servant". She was in between her tears.

"Hamba is indeed worthy of punishment, I am not sowing for the favors you give, my meeting with Rehan made me lulled with the world, busy helping him rebuild his economy, until I forgot to perform worship for you. The servant feels that life is enough to bring happiness, but in fact you are able to take it from me, O God!". Aisyah then wiped her rough tears.

"And the servant began to realize that all that the servant has in this world will go except you, O God, mother, father and now husband and treasure. Now that I am down, the husband of the proud servant no longer loves the servant, and dares to pray for the servant in plain sight, the sick child and in-law who always corner the servant and only now do I remember you again, I am indeed a shameless servant!". He covered his face with both hands.

"But the servant knows that you are forgiving, O Allah! I beg you to forgive all the sins that you have committed! Strengthen the servant in serving this punishment from you! Give calmness in response to all trials, do not let the servant be easily controlled by circumstances that do not favor the servant, and. . .". Aisyah's prayer was cut off hearing the sound of curtains opening.

SREEETT

Aisyah quickly ended her prayer and wiped away her tears. Then he saw who was presumptuous to open the curtain.

"Zack?". The man in front of her looked shocked to see her crying.

"What happened to you? Who's sick until you're so sad like this?". Zack's face turned anxious, he then passed through the curtain barrier to get closer to Aisyah.

a soft cry until it sobs - sedu slashed Zack's heart curiously until he was recklessly rounded the curtain because of the persuasion of his little heart.

He wanted to hug the woman before him, his heart was also sliced to see such a sad Aisyah, he was never able to see the woman he had worshipped all this time shed tears right in front of him. He wanted to help wipe Aisyah's tears, but was snuffed out because Aisyah raised her hand in the way.

"Don't touch me! We are not muhrim, and you better hurry back to the front before anyone sees us here!". Get rid of Aisyah down, not wanting to look at Zack. He was afraid of the caliph and immediately hugged the man.

"But why are you sad like this? I'm worried about you Aisyah! Please allow me to.. ..". Zack's words were cut off by Aisyah.

"Go! This is a holy place, not good to be smeared with our indecent behavior! I don't want to be slandered if anyone sees us alone here, please come back to the front!". Aisyah turned her body against Zack.

Zack, who saw Aisyah who was very reluctant to approach, was forced to undo his intention to try to calm the woman down. He also does not want to make their problems runyam added. His head was also now being tangled up thinking about his daddy's request to marry Cleo.

When I wanted to get out of the mosque, Aisyah came back to my meeting with Zack at the door who also wanted to get out of the mosque. Aisyah quickly precedes Zack's steps in order not to meet the man.

"Why should I avoid him? He did nothing wrong to me, and he just wanted to say hello as my boss! He must be confused by my silly behavior, but I hope he understands and doesn't fire me for my disrespect as a subordinate". Inner Aisyah, she hit him on the head for being silly and trying to avoid Zack for no reason.

She didn't know why every time she met Zack, she wanted to hug and express all her feelings to him, but she realized she didn't deserve to do that to her boss, even now he was embarrassed himself after being disrespectful by avoiding his superior.

**

Zack, curious about Aisyah's condition, followed the woman from behind and found out why she was so sad earlier in the mosque.

"Who exactly is being treated in that room?". His murmurs peeked behind the wall. His soul thrashed because he was worried about Aisyah's state.

He then went to the reception desk asking who was being treated in the room and what the illness was.

"In the room that just came this morning on behalf of Albar Algazali, he was rushed to the hospital after falling, his head hitting the floor. But now that he's okay, he's being treated to make sure there's no other damage to his head". Receptionist.

This is actually privacy and can only be told to the patient's family. But because of the Purbalingga family who owned this hospital, Zack was allowed to know.

Zack breathed a sigh of relief because Aisyah's little baby boy was okay, just needed to be treated in the hospital for monitoring.

Zack intends to visit baby Albar, but he hears a scream calling his name.

"Zack!".

The shout sounded anxious and made Zack come along anxious. He ran towards the source of the voice to ask why yelling called out to Zack.

"Zack! Daddy you! Daddy you're in his room being. . .!". Imbuh Cleo with a stingy breath ran to find Zack's whereabouts.

Zack who was afraid of anything, then ran fast with anxiety after hearing Cleo's words.
