The Stain Behind My Hijab

Iqbal knew

After seeing his wife had entered the boarding gate, Alvin immediately went from there.

Arriving at the office, Alvin just focus on working. he does not feel confused anymore like the days ago.maybe because so much work he has to do and he must be really focused.

Until noon Alvin was still busy with his laptop.Alvin even missed his lunch.

Kruyuk

Alvin felt very hungry.he glanced at the watch he was wearing.it was already at one noon.

I forgot about my lunch." muttered Alvin then he immediately called his Assistant and asked him to order food.

Before long, a food delivery courier came into his room. Alvin immediately paid for the order. Alvin began to eat lunch while working. both eyes can not be separated from his laptop.his left hand is busy typing and right hand busy feeding food into his mouth.

"Ekhm" Assistant Gio looked at his superior looking busy with both hands.

Alvin just glanced at his Assistant then he refocused on work.

"Busy is very Boss" said Assistant Gio then immediately sat in the chair in front of Alvin.

"What's wrong?" Alvin immediately asked the intention of Gio's arrival to his room.

"You need permission to go home sooner" Gio said

"Why what?" ask Alvin

"There's a meeting of two families" Gio replied

"Alright I'm allowed, but don't get permission often" Alvin said, staring at his assistant.

"Well sir, then excuse me." after saying that Alvin was leaving immediately.

After the departure of Assistant Gio, Alvin momentarily stopped his work.he chose to spend first his food.

After he finished eating, he immediately performed dzuhur prayer in the room.

Alvin felt calmer when he finished praying. Before returning to work, Alvin looked at his phone.he tried to send a message to his wife.he put his phone again while waiting for a reply.

°°°

Alvin saw a clock that was circular on his wrist.it turned out to be three in the afternoon.he had to prepare to go home because he had to learn to teach with Iqbal.

Alvin had arrived in front of his house, he saw the front door of his house open.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Alvin from the front door.

"Waalaikum'salam" replied someone from inside the house.

"It's been a while?" alvin asked who saw Iqbal at home.

"Not yet, this has just arrived." replied Iqbal

"We just go straight ahead" said Alvin

Alvin seriously memorized some memorization.

Iqbal saw the contents of his marker run out.

"Mas Alvin, does Mas Alvin have ink markers?" Iqbal asked Alvin.

"I was looking for a moment" said Alvin then opened the desk drawer in front of him, but the marker ink was not there.

"Nothing, but in my room there is. try to take it yourself" he said again

"But I don't feel good about going into people's rooms" Iqbal said

"It's okay, besides there's no valuables in my room."

"All right, but where is the ink?"

"There's a drawer by the bed." replied Alvin

Iqbal immediately came out of the room, he headed to Alvin's room.

Cclek

Iqbal opened the unlocked door, the first thing he saw was a wedding photo on the wall.

"That's Nisa, did I see it wrong? is it just similar?" muttered Iqbal who was still staring at the wedding photos on display on the wall.

Iqbal immediately opened the desk drawer near the bed. he took the ink and then he went straight out of the room.

Iqbal had returned to his original place.he immediately sat in front of Alvin who was busy memorizing.

Did I just ask the same Mas Alvin. but later in the thought kepo." inner Iqbal who feel restless.

Ah rather than curious mending I just ask." Inner Iqbal

"Mas Alvin, I'm sorry to ask " said Iqbal while looking at Alvin.

"Please!" answer Alvin

"So I saw a wedding photo on the wall, but the woman in the photo looked like Nisa" Iqbal said

"Oh yes, it is my wife Nisa." replied Alvin

Iqbal suddenly lethargic when he found out that the photo of the woman was indeed Nisa.

It's fitting that Nisa often goes in and out of boarding school. turns out she's the wife of her son Mr. Alex." Inner Iqbal

Iqbal went back to teaching Alvin, but he was a little unfocused because he only thought of Nisa who turned out to be the wife of people.
