The Wasted Bride

Houses 3

Day after day passed, the relationship between Arwaa and Aldair also experienced a little change because now her husband was no longer awkward when dealing with her.

Aldair also kept his promise not to meet Fani even though Arwaa knew that in his heart, the man must miss his loved ones very much. Sometimes Arwaa also found her husband was in contact with someone asking about the condition of the mother of his future child.

Although Arwaa was ill, she smiled sweetly when Aldair explained that he had not contacted Fani directly, but through her father. Which explains if Fani's parents also know about the problems involving him.

I don't know which one is sicker, losing someone you love or seeing them happy with another woman. Not infrequently his lust always tempts Arwaa to do sneaky things so that their marriage still survives. But at once the speech of Umi Zahra, a friend in the ta'lim assembly he used to go to, rang in his mind.

"If one's religious knowledge is weak, it is nafsunyah who will defeat him. For your hard times, let Allah strengthen you. Your job is to make sure that the distance between you and God is never far." The gentle-faced woman always listened to all the anxiety that always struck Arwaa's heart.

No doubt Arwaa beristighfar when the temptation of the devil approached. That's why Arwaa decided to just enjoy the feeling of being present, but did not expect much, just waiting and waiting for what He had planned.

Because for him love is not everything even though love can give birth to happiness and hatred, but he will not over-treat him, he will only learn to continue to love the Creator of Love.

"Goddessa..."

"Astaghfirullah mas." A gentle pat on his shoulder made Arwaa flinch. He almost dropped the little Qur'an in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I think what's the matter because usually you immediately welcome the sound of the car mas, the taunya again daydream here." Aldair scratched his non-itchy nape.

Arwaa smiled sweetly at Aldair's words. It turned out that her husband was getting used to her warm welcome. Yes, because every time Arwaa heard the man's car, she must have rushed to the door to welcome her husband with a sweet smile.

"Nothing mas, I'm sorry for daydreaming so there's no sound of your car." Arwaa stood up from her seat and took the husband's briefcase.

Arwaa walked first in front of her husband.

"Would you eat or shower first?" Arwaa paused for a moment, turning to Aldair.

Aldair who was watching Arwaa also bearded a little surprised because his wife suddenly turned her head.

"Mas wants to take a shower first."

"Yeah yuk, let me get you a change of clothes."

Arwaa smiled again and turned around continuing her steps to their room.

***

His meek demeanor, his sweet smile, his shady face, began to haunt Aldair's mind every time. Even when he met with Fani's father to ask the woman for news, the shadow of his smiling wife made him not listen well to his future in-laws.

But once again he convinced himself not to fall on his wife's charms too far. He already has Fani whom he will marry after she gives birth to his son and divorces his wife.

Arwaa is only a stopover for the next few months. In addition, he hopes that God will forgive his sins because he is carrying out his duties as a husband. Although not all rights Arwaa he fulfilled.

If I'm honest, he wants to, really, really want to spend a night full of love with his wife. But what power, he does not want to betray Fani, a woman who has been his lover for 4 years and is pregnant with the fruit of their love.

That is why since they lived together, Aldair always fasted David, and worked until evening. He wanted as much as possible to avoid the temptation of Arwaa's charm, because as a woman, his wife was the type that all men wanted, as well as her.

"Mas hasn't slept?"

The wife's soft voice made her realize.

"Yes. Sorry."

"I'm sorry why?" Dazedly Arwaa saw her husband shaking his head. Arwaa was smiling too.

Aldair looked at his wife who was walking to her dresser to carry out the routine of women.

"Arwaa, I'm calling, telling us to stay there tomorrow."

"Oh really?" Arwaa turned to her husband sumringah and was taken in by Aldair.

"Yes, we'll be there tomorrow. You want to, right? Mom always asked me to keep asking why I like not to come if I go there."

Arwaa looked into her husband's eyes and cupped her hands, begging him to come to her house. Unaware of any part of her husband's reaction to her behavior, Aldair nodded his head in agreement and pulled the blanket to his waist.

"Yay Alhamdulillah finally able to go to the mother's house with mas Genta. I miss my mom, dad, and Hana, and they miss you too."

Aldair saw his wife smiling happily, making his heart ache, because he knew in the end the smile would turn into tears because of his betrayal.
