The Tarnished Honor

Chapter.72

"Bak's busy?" the question from Gita was able to distract Aulia from the laptop screen in front of her.

Getting such a question, of course Aulia's heart cheered happily. Because, Aulia had been since two days ago Aulia waited for Gita to invite her to talk.

His conversation with Fatih tempo heart, about Seno who likes Gita continues to ring in Aulia's ear.

Even it feels upset when you want to ask questions but must be put on hold just because Aulia respects the privacy of Gita who may not be ready to share with her.

"No, it's done. What's the matter?" aulia asked back who immediately closed the laptop even though honestly, Aulia had not finished inputting data on the laptop.

"There's something I want to talk about with Ma'am" replied Gita, who seemed hesitant.

"What is Mas Seno?"

Deg

Gita gasped in shock as Aulia mentioned Seno's name. Even the girl raised her head and looked at Aulia questioningly.

"Don't be surprised like that, Ma'am is already from Mas Fatih," Aulia explained as she looked at Gita looking at him full of question marks.

"Oh, I see" Gita lowered her head again.

"Here, sit here," continued Aulia patting the sofa beside her which was still empty.

Aulia knew that right now Gita was not okay and needed someone to talk to. As an older sister, of course Aulia was ready to be a good listener for her foster sister.

"Tell me what you want to tell Ma'am" Aulia said after Gita sat next to her.

"I'm confused Ma'am," replied Gita who finally told Aulia of her heart's unrest.

"Why?"

"Mas Seno, he said he liked me and intended to preach me,"

"Yes, you know, then why did you reject him?"

"Not totally reject, it's just. Actually, you and Mom made an appointment with an old friend to match me with their son. Tomorrow you ask me to come home because the day after tomorrow we will have our first meeting,"

"Then, what are you worried about?"

"Eemm, me, i___,"

"Like the Seno?" guess Aulia.

Deg

Gita again gasped in shock as Aulia knew her heart at this moment. Even Gita raised her head and looked at Aulia for the second time.

"Don't know?" ask her lirih.

"Mbak has known you Gita for 6 years, of course Mbak knows whatever you feel at this time. If you like Seno, why refuse him?"

"Because I have promised you to accept the matchmaking long before it was close to Mas Seno, Ma'am. I also didn't know that it turned out, this heart had changed course after we were close for a few months,"

Hearing the explanation from the Gita, Aulia could only let out a long sigh. It is difficult indeed to be in the position of the Gita who is between two choices.

"Then, what are you going to do now?" ask Aulia again.

"Don't know, can you give me advice? What do I do now?"

"Is that so?"

"Just go home first, God willing, everything will be fine. And remember, the sustenance, the soul mate, and the death are all in the hands of God. So, you better put yourself to him. I'm sure God will give you the best, even if it's not your choice. Because God knows better which is best for us,"

"Alright then, thank you Ma'am because Ma'am always wants to listen to all my stories," said Gita full of haru.

"That's what you're for, brother, so don't hesitate anymore, huh?"

"Yes, thank you,"

"The same, bismillah. I'm sure God will give you the best,"

"Yes, hopefully. Aamiin, sir,"

"Aamiin's."

A fluffy smile was present on Fatih's handsome face when he saw his wife who had just come out of the bathroom clad in a bathrobe and part of the hair covered by a small towel.

It's still 4 at dawn, but Aulia has to take a junub bath because of the husband who never let her go a day without a mandatory bath.

"Have you?" ask Fatih who immediately got up from her seat to take turns using the bathroom.

"Yes," Aulia replied briefly as she was still feeling tired after serving her husband.

"Yes, then take a shower first. Then we pray together,"

"Well, aren't we going to the mosque?"

"Today is a holiday, baby, again want to worship with his wife," replied Fatih as he passed into the bathroom to clean himself and prepare to do his morning worship together with his wife.

After performing worship, the couple who had been almost two weeks married always spent talking in the room before doing their morning activities.

Many things were discussed by Fatih and Aulia when they were alone as they are today. Both of them were sitting on the bed hugging each other.

"For tomorrow's trip have you prepared everything?" ask Fatih to Aulia.

"Already, everything was in the suitcase, but I was worried about having to leave Aliya, Mas,"

"Why else with Aliya?"

"Me, don't have the heart to leave her,"

"Honey, Aliya is 11 years old and here too she is not alone. There's Mama and Papa, why worry? My son is relaxed,"

"Yes, but still I___,"

"Honey, Aliya is big enough to leave. After all, we also left for only two weeks. After our trip, we plan a vacation together. Hows it? Do you agree that we are on vacation together? We'll take everyone, including Seno and Gita as well, how?" it was obviously Fatih who finally made Aulia smile again.

"Again, I agree. Thank you baby, you are indeed the best husband," replied Aulia who was so enthusiastic that she embraced her husband's friendly body.

"Then can you add dong?" tanya Fatih raises both eyebrows to make both eyes perfectly rounded Aulia.
