The Widow's Choice

Rahman Abdullah's

Day by day, it keeps changing. The moon keeps changing years. God's destiny no one knows. What will happen, only God knows. We just need to be sure, no matter what happens, it has to happen.

Three years have passed. Slowly but surely, Rahman and Nurul increasingly understand each other. Their bond of feeling grew stronger with each other.

Al and Hilya grew up well. Al who does have a smart brain, he got a good achievement at his school graduation. He became the best graduate in school.

And now, he is deepening his religious knowledge in one of the best boarding schools in Solo City. And that's of his own accord. It had been his wish for a long time, even before he knew Rahman. And now, Rahman embodies that son's wish.

Rahman loved Al very much. He never considered Al a stepson, he always considered Al his biological son. He treated Al like Hilya, his own son.

Hilya is very active now. It grows very well. She grew up to be an adorable and clever little girl. He is very similar to Al, very good at learning something new.

Rahman became the center of attention of many people. After the attack three and a half years ago, he became the talk of many business people. His efforts are going better too. Many big business people are interested in him and start cooperation with him.

Tragedies. There are always good and bad effects. Perhaps the tragedy of the attack at that time, directly had a bad impact on Rahman and his family at that time. But now, because of the tragedy, many people know Rahman Abdullah better.

Many media outlets highlighted the tragedy of the attack at that time. But Rahman and his two best friends manage to cover up all the information about Nurul and his little family. He did not want the peace of his small family disturbed due to the frenzy of media news. Moreover, Rahman understands very well the nature of his wife who does not like to be the center of attention of many people.

Ms. Dira, she is very happy with the state of her two sons and daughters. Rahman and Nurul grow closer and happier with their two sons. So did Fatimah and Ali. Even Fatimah and Ali have added a grandson to Bu Dira. And now he's almost a year old. He's handsome and very agile. There are many families of Bu Dira.

Nurain? Slowly but surely, he began to change. He turned into someone who looked very different at times. She has learned a lot during her nearly four years as Rahman's wife. It may be said that not long ago their marriage, but Rahman's world is a new thing for Nurul. And he had to be very adaptable to that new world.

While at home, he is still a son-in-law, wife and mother who spends a lot of time at home and focuses on family. Even when she left the house to take care of her work, she still did not forget the nature of being a housewife.

Nurul started his small business. Certainly with the permission and guidance of Rahman of course. Coming from his fondness for various kinds of cakes, he ended up focusing on learning to make cakes for almost a year. After that he opened a small cake shop located not far from home.

And Allah's destiny is on Nurul's side. The small cake shop, in the last two years has opened three other branches in the city area and one branch in Jogja. Nurul is assisted by a personal assistant in managing his business. The assistant was handpicked by Rahman. Nurul will only visit his shops once a week, to check the reports and state of the store.

Rahman did not let Nurul out of the house too often to work. Rahman allowed Nurul to start a business so that Nurul did not feel bored just staying at home. And Rahman also realized the potential of his wife who is actually very easy to learn new things.

Nurul who used to be not good at makeup, is now proficient in that. With guidance from Rika and Nana, Nurul can transform herself into a woman who is good at pleasing her husband, both at home and outside the home.

And thanks to the guidance of Bu Dira, Nurul now began to confidently face many people. She learned how to be the wife of a businessman like Rahman. He is occasionally asked to accompany Rahman to meet his business partners. That is also if the business partner who asks and the business partner also invites his wife.

Rahman still does not want to publish his beloved wife. Only a few people know the figure of Nurul Almira as Rahman Abdullah's wife.

Like this afternoon. Nurul was at one of Rahman's hotels. He asked Rahman to accompany him to lunch with his business partner at the hotel. He came to the hotel in between by Pak Harto. Hilya he left for a while at home with Bu Dira.

Nurul walked with definite steps towards the reception desk. With a plain black robe combined with a milo-colored long vest, and an instant headscarf covering the milo-colored chest decorated with a black diamond brooch. And handbags with the letter C logo back and forth, and black wedges as a complement. Do not forget the mask and socks as a cover.

That is what Rahman is proud of Nurul. He never forgot to close his mouth. Although the temptations of the clothing model are very diverse, she will still choose a loose robe and a large headscarf covering the chest every time she goes out of the house.

"Excuse me Ma'am, has Mr Rahman finished his meeting?" nurul asked as he reached the front desk of the receptionist. Nurul had tried to contact Rahman, but his phone could not be reached.

"Sorry ma'am, with whose mother?" ask the receptionist friendly.

"I," Nurul was not finished with his sentence, the voice of a familiar woman calling out to him.

"Little Adek!" call that woman who is another tan is Rika. He came with Nana.

Nurul also looked. "Mbak Ka, Ma'am Na!" sapa Nurul happy. They then hugged each other.

"Thank you, Mother." Nurul said to the receptionist.

"You are yes! If you go out of the house like people using PPE. It's rapping." Chirp Rika.

"Hhihi, misua likes this Ma'am! So yes, just take it." Nurul answered honestly.

"If at home must wear less material, right?" nana whispers between Nurul and Rika.

"Hhahaha," the three women laughed together until they became the center of attention of some people in the lobby.

"Kan ngajarin Mban Na, hhihi" Nurul replied while giggling.

"Tumben over here? Same with Rahman?" syndical Rika.

"Yes dong Mbak, must kangen continue, let nempel continue, hhihi." said Nurul.

"Udah Pinter now Adek Kita Kecil." Ejek Nana happy.

"Yes Na" said Rika.

"Darling! Have you come?" rahman's greeting came from the direction inside the hotel. The three women and some people around looked over.

Nurul took down the mask. Throw her smile at Rahman and grab Rahman's right hand and kiss her. Rahman hugged Nurul's waist and kissed Nurul's forehead in front of everyone.

"Woii, public place!" syndical Rika.

"Wildamah! Same with my own wife. Sirik says! Find Shodiq in the office if you want!" Rahman Ketus.

"Maass," gently rebuked Nurul.

"Yes, yes, my dear!" rahman answered while pinching Nurul's nose.

Everyone widened their eyes. Everyone was surprised to see Rahman's attitude. They did not expect, the woman in covered clothes was the wife of Rahman Abdullah. Which turned out her face was so pretty.

"Fuck you Man! Come on Na, let's go to client's! Hunt it late!" gerutu Rika while walking away from Rahman and Nurul.

"First it was Little Adek!" pamit Nana who walked after Rika.

"Where is Na going?" ask Nurul.

"MUA darling," said Nana slightly shouting. Nurul nodded in understanding.

Rika and Nana started a salon and spa business eight years ago. They work together to build their own atmosphere. And now, their salon is quite famous throughout the city. Satisfactory service, friendly employees and friendly prices, become added value and attract customers.

"Dear, we'll just wait at the restaurant!" Rahman still faithfully hugged Nurul's body while walking towards the hotel restaurant. Nurul immediately closed the mask.

They chose one of the empty seats and sat there waiting for their business partner to come. A couple of married men approached them. Rahman stood up as soon as he saw them coming. Nurul stood up and took off his mask.

"Sir Adrian." Sapa Rahman salutes his business partner and his wife. Nurul also greeted Adrian's wife.

"Yes Mr. Rahman. What's News?" answer Rahman's business partner.

"Okay sir, please sit down! Adrian ma'am please too!" rahman was friendly. They also sat facing each other.

"So this is your wife who passed out in the office?" ask Adrian.

"You remember Sir? Yes, this is my wife, Nurul Almira."Rahman was proud.

Nurul smiled at Adrian and his wife. "It's so pretty that it's Bu Rahman." Praise the wife of Adrian.

They continued the conversation while enjoying lunch. When she finished eating, Nurul said goodbye to the toilet. In the toilet, Nurul vomited out his stomach contents. He has been feeling dizzy and unwell the last few days. She felt weak at this moment, but she remembered still having to accompany her husband. She tidied up her makeup and went back to the dinner table.

And soon, Adrian and his wife say goodbye. Rahman and Nurul drive him to the hotel lobby. After Adrian and his wife came out of the lobby, Nurul firmly gripped Rahman's arm. Rahman was surprised his arm was gripped by Nurul.

"Why you, honey?" asked Rahman to panic.

Brucks. Nurul's body collapses unconscious and falls into Rahman's arms. People ran to him. Bagas was no exception, the personal bodyguard.

"Take my car!" Rahman throws the key at Bagas. Bagas immediately to the hotel parking lot.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" Rahman patted slowly on Nurul's cheek whose body was held tightly by Rahman.

No response at all. Rahman immediately lifted Nurul's body and took him out of the hotel. Bagas soon arrives in Rahman's car. They took Nurul to the hospital.

After getting treatment, Nurul was still not aware. After a long time, Nurul finally came to his senses.

"Hi Nyah!" sapa Arum who was standing next to Nurul's bed.

"Doctor Arum?" Nurul confusion.

"If I miss the same I say Nyah. Don't wear a fainting show!" arum Ledek.

"I why did you faint?"

"Where is Nyah? Did you faint, asked Rahman?" ask Arum.

"Dear, what happened to you? Suddenly passed out in the lobby." Answer Rahman.

"Are you pregnant, Nyah?" ask Arum.

"Pregnant?" rahman and Nurul said at the same time. They look at each other.

"Obviously usually his expression." Gerrutu Arum's.

Rahman immediately showered Nurul with kisses many times all over his face. Nurul to difficulty breathing.

"It looks like about eight weeks." Imbuh Arum who had examined Nurul. "Tomorrow USG from Nyah!"

Nurul smiled and nodded at Arum. Arum then left the happy couple.

"Thank you, baby!" said Rahman gently while stroking Nurul's cheek.

"Together with me." Nurul smiled happily looking at Rahman.
