WAITING FOR LOVE BETWEEN THEIR LOVE

Chapter 20: Being sincere and patient

"Living a life is not always smooth and happy. Sometimes, everyone experiences various obstacles and trials in his life. Patience and sincerity are the keys to getting through the obstacles so that a happy life will be re-achieved" Husna said when Alvino asked her why she was not angry with him.

There, Alvino felt that he was a failed husband. Alvino is ashamed of a perfect wife like Husna.

"Mas hasn't answered Husna's question, where is Helena?"

"Helena's in the mansion."

Hearing that, Husna immediately got up and walked towards the changing room. Alvino looked at it in wonder until the moment Husna came out already in neat clothes.

"Husna, where are you going?"

"Of course we're going to the mansion. Didn't I say Helena was there?"

"Yes, but should we go there now?"

"Don't you say Helena's sick, so why delay meeting her?"

Alvino only managed a deep breath before he finally followed Husna's footsteps which pulled his hand.

Along the way, Husna looks silent, Alvino feels more and more guilty.

Suddenly, the fear of losing Husna grew even greater.

Alvino held Husna's hand, Husna saw it and smiled at Alvino.

"I'm fine, really." said Husna.

Arriving at the mansion...

Husna immediately looked for the mother, while Alvino immediately met Helena after the maid said that Helena did not want to eat anything.

"Husna, why don't you let Mama know about how you feel, why don't you share that sadness with Mama?"

"Because patience calms the soul, it sincerely reconciles the heart. Patience and sincerity teach us the meaning of 'understanding'. It is not that Husna does not want to share her grief with Mama, but that Husna is trying to be sincere. After all, sadness is not to be shared."

"Yes, I know that sadness is not to be shared. But sorrow is not to be felt alone."

"Husna shared that sorrow with God. So, you do not have to worry because Husna actually does not harbor this sadness alone."

"Husna, why did you ask Alvino to take Helena?"

"To make Alvino stop lying and realize the mistakes made, so the desire to make the same mistakes will disappear."

"Aren't you afraid that one day Helena...."

"That kindness is a relief, that patience is strengthening, that resignation makes comfort, that good prejudice is enlightening" said Husna who immediately cut off the conversation from mama.

"Husna, this is my mom. You don't have to pretend to be tough, while your heart is really hurting."

"Being patient and sincere is not easy, but it must be. Learn to accept the meaning of loss and waiting."

Mama couldn't take it anymore, she hugged Husna and cried.

"May Allah give you abundant happiness after this."

"Amen..."

Meanwhile, in Helena's room.

"Is this Helena, why don't you eat something the waiter gave you?"

"I'm waiting for you."

"Helena, control yourself. This is my parents' house and you are a guest here. I hope you can keep your attitude."

"Alvino, why are you being a little rude to me?" Helena cried.

"Helena, I'm sorry.." cried Alvino.

Husna, who was about to enter to deliver the fruits, broke his intention to enter and placed the fruits near the vase next to the door.

Husna chose to go into the room and calm down.

"I've never even seen such great love as you showed Helena."

Husna tried to control himself so that tears would not fall down his cheeks.

A few days passed...

Mama is fed up with Helena's spoiled attitude, who never wants to eat unless she is fed by Alvino and never wants to get out of the room. Alvino is forced to bring Helena and Husna to live together in their home.

"Thank you, Husna." said Helena as Husna helped Helena take the medicine.

"Same, as fellow Muslims we should help each other. Hopefully after this you will be healthier."

"Same, then excuse me for a moment. I have to go buy vegetables because Mas Alvino hasn't had time to take me shopping."

"Ah yes, Alvino. Where's she?"

"Mas Alvino has left for the office, just as I came to your room with food and medicine."

Alvino's gone to the office. Tumben once he didn't come to me and say goodbye?

"Helena, are you okay?" ask Husna.

"Yes." said Helena with a smile.

"All right then I'm leaving now."

Helena just nodded then she saw Husna leaving.

Her night...

"Alvin..." Helena calls Alvino when Alvino has just come home and Helena accidentally waits for him in the living room.

"Helena, what are you doing here why aren't you in the room?"

"Alvino, what if you go to the office once you don't say goodbye to me?"

"Helena, don't start again."

"Al, I'm just asking why aren't you saying goodbye to me?"

"I was too busy and suddenly there was a meeting I had to do."

Helena started to soften.

"If that's all you want to ask, and since I've answered it better now you go back to the room and rest."

Helena split from her seat and just as she was about to walk suddenly her gaze blurred.

Helena could fall if Alvino didn't catch her body.

"Take me to the room." said Helena, I felt so dizzy that I couldn't walk."

Alvino finally carried Helena and carried her to the room.

Husna looked at that while shedding tears.

O God, you made me see how much my husband loved that woman. What more do You want me to do, O God..

Two days passed....

Helena, who began to feel that she was well enough, decided to help Husna prepare the food.

Even occasionally Helena took over the tasks that Husna was supposed to do. Like, preparing food for Alvino and bringing him the files left behind.

Husna himself never commented because, Helena always knew when she would take on the task that Husna was supposed to do.

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim, I must be strong for the sake of the baby in my womb. I should be able to fight to get genuine love from my husband." Lirih Husna's,

A week passed without feeling...

Husna, who initially saw so deeply in the love between Alvino and Helena, slowly began to see the changes.

Changes were also seen in neighbors who often greeted Husna, since they knew that Helena lived there because Helena often drove away and welcomed Alvino's return. Made a lot of gossip that got her household.

"Mas, you shouldn't just marry Helena" Husna said when Alvino had just finished changing clothes and was ready to go to the office.

"No need, I'm planning on returning her in a few days considering Helena's condition has completely recovered."

Husna.

"Mas knows, you said that because of the many rumors that hit our households. I promise you, the gossip will soon disappear as I stretch Helena."

Brake !!!

"Mas, what's that sound?" husna screeched as she heard the sound of objects falling from a height.

Husna and Alvino came out of the room to check what had fallen, they were shocked to see Helena lying on the 1st floor.

Helena, did she jump from the 2nd floor?. Inner Husna when she saw one of Helena's sandals stuck in the staircase.
