Waiting for the Love of the Husband

THE MCSS 16

Asyraf left his mother without saying any words. He went into his wife's nursery where his father and father-in-law were there. Asih himself was sitting.

"Aish?"

Everyone looked over, including Aish who was in tears. Aish himself had been told by his brother and his father-in-law.

Whatisthis? Do they think I'll agree with the adieu. It never will.

"Your mother said something? ask H. Aqim.

"That's it, but there won't be a farewell."

Asyraf approached his wife and held her hand. Aish herself did not shake that hand. Just the look in the eyes of the two as if they were refusing a farewell.

"But this is for both of you" said Abah.

"I'm sorry, Bah, I told you there won't be a farewell. Aren't you, Aish?"

Can Ashraf ask Aish to stay by his side. Start again from the beginning, with the intention corrected. Asyraf threw away the view when he did not get an answer from Aish. His heart ached when the wife was indifferent. All this time, it was his own maleness.

"Aish, are you going to stay with your husband or join me?" ask Ahmad.

"Better bring Aish home, Bah. I'd rather say that" chimpanzee H. Aqim.

I don't know what the parents' plans are, they seem eager to separate the two today. Asyraf intends to fix it.

"A boy, even though he is married, still belongs to his mother. But the daughter will belong to her husband. Aish will stay here, Bah." Aish finally came to talk after she had been quieter.

"No, I disagree. I'm going home tomorrow with you."

Not until waiting tomorrow, when the infusion runs out Aish has been allowed to go home. And they are completely separated.

Abah took her daughter back to the cottage. Asyraf could not prevent it because the reason was always rejected. He just looked at the car carrying his wife until it disappeared behind the corner.

The tears he could no longer hold. Falling as he closed his eyes. He got into the car and ignored his parents, his sister and his son.

He was really fed up with the parents who meddled in the household affairs of his son. Asyraf wasn't running his car, he was just sitting behind the wheel.

***

When Asyraf went to the doctor's office, Abah and his besi discussed their child's marriage. Until a plan that was considered painful they chose. That separates Asyraf and Aish temporarily, just as they both confess their feelings.

"It's too risky. What if they're completely separated because of our interference." Abah disagrees with the proposal of his besan.

"Maybe not, Bah. Let's just say this parting is a temporary bed until they realize there is a longing in each other's hearts" said H. Aqim.

The car that brought Aish entered the cottage court was immediately welcomed by his two brothers-in-law. Aish refuses to sit together in the living room, choosing to rest in the room.

He laid his body on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the room. Raise his hand tucked in the wedding ring on his finger. That was when the fight ended.

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated, as soon as he picked it up and stared at the number listed there. Her mother-in-law called.

"Assalamualaikum," said Aish after sliding the green icon.

"Just arrived, Mom."

"Oh yes, I just want to make sure you are. Enough rest." The pin call ends after greeting each other.

Aish was astonished, not that they separated themselves from the husband but why they were still being nice. Not yet he found an answer, knocking at the door broke his mind. He opened the door and saw me standing there.

Abah commented a smile to her youngest daughter, "can you talk for a second?

"Can."

"In your room alone, it's about you and your husband."

Aish prepares to go in and sit on the same sofa. The nervousness felt when I looked at him for a long time.

"Is there anything you want to tell me the same? Maybe it's about your marriage or your guess."

"Nothing, Bah. Everything's fine." Aish doesn't want to talk about her husband's ugliness. He understood that he was still Ashraf's wife and had an obligation to cover up the bad husband. Let only he and Ashraf know each other. Outsiders including you no one should know. Let them know and conclude from their own eyes. Not from his own mouth.

"Why then should you be rushed to the hospital, what is your husband dzolim?"

"No, Mas Asyraf treated me well, Bah. If you enter the hospital, you do not have to conclude a husband dzolim. I was just limp when Asyraf drove the car a little fast. Yeah, maybe the goal is to get there fast."

Abah smiled at her daughter's words. Clearly Aish tried to choose a sentence so as not to tell her husband's ugliness.

"Thank God then. I'm really worried about your husband doing dzolim, son."

"No, Bah. Don't worry because Asyraf is also a husband who understands his obligations to his wife."

"You're starting to love him?"

Aish chuckles, "what's love like, Bah? What when we pay attention to someone is said to be love. Or when we feel comfortable near someone it is also said to be love. If so, I feel it's near Asyraf's mas."

Abah leaned her body against the back of the sofa. "Aish, the purpose for bringing you here is not to separate you. Abah wants to see how far you feel when you're separated. Maybe you can say this is too evil, but I'm afraid when you don't realize that you love each other, someone else will take advantage of it."

Aish nodded in understanding.

***

Asyraf returned home with an erratic feeling. Fear and worry are the most dominant. This farewell will be a farewell forever.

He sits where Aish is lying, and feels Aish's presence but as he pushes everything away. He remained there until his eyes closed without changing his clothes.

When adzan maghrib mumandnag good he woke up and found the house in a dark state. He immediately cleans the body and fulfills the obligation still in Aish's room.

After fulfilling the obligation and folding back the prayer tool he came out of the wife's room. Turn on some lights and that's where he realizes that Aish's presence is very much needed.

There is a vacuum when they are far apart, but why should he be aware when there is a separation. He picks up a cell phone to call Aish, but he remembers that he doesn't have his number.

"Aish, are you happy with this farewell?" ask her on the photo of her teenage years. "It's normal that you're happy, because I never make you happy. I'm sorry Aish."

The mistakes he deliberately made so that Aish felt tormented by this marriage again ringed. Rotates well in the brain. Delivering a sense of unparalleled regret.
