The Stain Behind My Hijab

Birthday Anniversary

Iqbal remained faithful to teach Alvin even though she already knew that Alvin was her husband Nisa. for Iqbal, she said, what's wrong with loving in silence until he is met with a woman who might be able to replace Nisa's position in his heart.

The marriage of Nisa and Alvin has stepped on one year.The relationship is fine.Even Bu Hilya and Mr. Alex have not asked for grandchildren. maybe because they understand that Nisa and Alvin are often LDR and rarely related.

Alvin is currently taking Nisa to visit her parents' house. Because it happens that Nisa is on semester break.and also she has two weeks off.but one week she goes home and one week in the boarding school.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Nisa knocked on the door while greeting.

Lady Siti who was in the kitchen heard a knock on the door and she immediately stopped her activity and chose to open the door.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Nisa again said her greetings because no one had opened the door either.

"Waalaikum'salam, sorry was Mom in the kitchen. Please come in!" Ms. Siti invited her son and daughter-in-law to come in.

"Thank you Mah" Nisa immediately went inside with her husband.

"Boy together, what do you want to drink?" ask Bu Siti who is now behind them because she just closed the door.

"Just give it up" said Nisa

"Alright" Miss Siti passed by and went to the kitchen to make a drink.

Now Bu Siti has returned with a tray.

"Please drink!" Ms. Siti put two drinks for the child and her daughter-in-law.

"Thank you Mah" said Alvin, then immediately took the glass and sipped it, because he happened to feel thirsty.

"Well, where's Mah?" Nisa asked her mother.

"Obviously, again." replied Ms. Siti

"It's late in the afternoon, haven't come home yet?"

"Yes Nis, now Mamah rarely helps to teach so Papahmu taught alone."

"Why not find an extra teacher?" ask Nisa

"Have been informed to some of your Papah friends, but no one has registered yet" replied Ms. Siti

"Hopefully there are those who are interested in yah Mah, pity Papah if you teach alone.even though the pesantren is small and the santri is little, but if you teach alone must be tired." said Nisa who felt sorry for Mr. Ahmad.

"Yes hopefully" said Bu Siti

After finishing chatting, Nisa and Alvin immediately went to the room to put the items they brought.it happened that they would stay for three days while four days at the house of Mr. Alex.

"Honey, you brought this for you." Alvin gave the paper bag that had been loved by his mother, but he did not know what was inside.

"What's that?" asked Nisa who saw her husband take a paper bag from his bag.

"Mas doesn't know either" replied Alvin

Nisa took the paper bag and opened it. It turned out that there was a small box inside. Nisa opened the box and there was a beautiful watch inside.

"Well, that's great" Nisa liked the gift that her mother-in-law gave her, and then Nisa saw that there was a small roll of paper tied with ribbons in the paper bag. he took it and opened the paper.

From; mama Hilya

Happy birthday son-in-law Mamah. long life, healthy always, more affectionate well with Mamah and hopefully at the age of 19 years, you become a better person again than before. so the wife sholehah and always devoted to the husband.

Nisa was moved to get that from her in-laws.

Alvin is shocked to find out that his wife is having a birthday.

"You're the birthday? sorry Mas well, I don't know if you're celebrating today." Kevin held his wife's hands and kissed her.

"It's okay Mas" Nisa smiled looking at her husband.

"What if we celebrate your birthday with a diner outside" Alvin said

"No need Mas, it looks like Mamah has cooked a lot because she knows we're staying here."

"Yes, then tomorrow we go" said Alvin, staring at his wife.

After finishing dinner, Alvin went out of the house, saying goodbye but he did not tell his purpose.

Alvin is now in front of the store.

"It's a good thing nights like this are still open." muttered Alvin and parked his car.

Alvin got out of the car and went into the boutique to buy something for his wife.

"Welcome, brother, what are you looking for?"

"I want to find a couple shirt, but for women it must be the syar'i" said Alvin

"Please Brother come with me" said a waiter who looked younger than Alvin.

Alvin followed the woman. Alvin began to choose a suitable couple shirt for him and his wife.The choice fell on the couple's shirt that is young Abu.

"Please wrap because this is for gifts, but clothes for men do not need" said Alvin while giving a young ash dres current model.

"Reply Brother, please wait a moment!" the woman said and left in front of Alvin.

Alvin chose to sit in the waiting chair.

Alvin is now out of the boutique.he will be home soon, but before that he will stop by the cake shop first. he will not buy a birthday cake because Nisa's family certainly never celebrated a birthday like most people. Alvin would just buy a sponge cake to eat together.

Since then Nisa tried to call Alvin's number, but Alvin accidentally did not pick up a call from his wife.

Tin

Nisa hears the sound of the car stopping in front of the house.she hurried out of the house to see who came.

"Mas, where have you been?" Nisa immediately asked her husband who had just gotten out of the car.

"So it's over to the friend's place.sorry well dear, old Mas well out?"

"Not really, not long.yeah, let's go in!" Nisa took her husband into the house.

Alvin accidentally left a gift for his wife in the car. he will give it tomorrow for a surprise.
