Waiting for the Love of the Husband

THE MCSS 29

Determinedly. That's what happened to Juan. As love turned into ambition, he abandoned all means including coming to Isha's parents. He said that he was very interested in Isha and hoped that the woman's family would accept. Even brought his parents along.

Aish and Asyraf looked at each other, then joined in.

"This is Nak Juan coming with his parents to ask Isha" Haji Aqim said.

Asyraf nodded and smiled. He did not expect that Juan would be that determined for the sake of love. Asyraf listened more and watched Juan's movements. He accidentally does not let go of Aish's hand so that Juan realizes that the love he has is just ambition.

"It's Aishwa, isn't it?" ask Juan's mother.

"Yes, Mom." Aish nodded.

"Masya Allah turned out to be the ex-Pak Haji huh. Abah healthy?"

"Thank God be healthy." Aish turned to Ashraf who was also looking at him. Aish did not understand that gaze, after all he just answered a question. Not intentionally talking to them.

"Oh so Aish is the same as if Juan knows each other?" ask H. Aqim looked at the guest as well as his daughter-in-law.

"Children's friend, Mr. Haji," Juan answered and glanced at Aish.

"so apparently. Our son Juan cannot give a direct answer to your proposal to our daughter. You have to make sure Isha-nys first. Fear if we just accept, later son Juan who felt hurt because of the attitude of our daughter." Haji Aqim was very careful in speaking.

"We understand, Mr. Haji. Please talk to the concerned first. Because no matter how our son and your daughter will live. But really in our hearts we want Nak Isha to be the daughter-in-law of our house" replied Hamdan-his father Juan.

Mr. Hamdan stared at his watch, "I think this meeting is enough. We have conveyed the intention of our son, Juan, just waiting for an answer from Nak Isha. Then we say goodbye, Mr. Haji."

"Please, thank you for coming." H. Aqim and Salwa sleepy their guests get to the front door. Then go back to Asyraf and Aish.

"Tumben, coming by in the afternoon?" Salwa lesion used to ask and sit near the zang son-in-law.

"Yes, we were going to give good news to my father and mother" Asyraf replied.

"What's that?" this time H. Aqim was curious.

"We were given a child's sustenance, Father. Zia will take care of brother," said Asyraf.

"God, have you checked?" ask Salwa.

"So morning already, from yesterday I've been feeling sick like it doesn't rule out the possibility that my wife is pregnant." Every talk Ashraf always looked at his wife. He tries to make Aish feel love from her even though she is still not whole.

"Degan-degan, Mom. I think it's a real quick that the marriage is only a few months away," said Aish.

"Fast or later it's a test, son. God knows what we need, not what we want. This is the way for you to add more adhesion. Add romance to this day." H. Aqim was able to read the unrest of her daughter-in-law.

"Dad and mother will still accept Juan's proposal?" ask Asyraf.

"Yes I hope Isha refuses, '" said Asyraf. "I'm not sure she really loves Isha. I feel like he has some ulterior intentions."

"Bus, ...." Aish shook his head in fear that Asyraf had become suspicious about the letter in Juan's name. It's not necessarily Juan who sent. "You taught me not to be prejudiced."

Asyraf narrowed his eyes, not liking Aish like he was defending Juan. Asyraf forced a smile and then invited his wife to rest in his room.

Aish immediately broke down but Asyraf was pensive beside him. "Mass?" Aish wakes up and touches her husband's shoulder.

"You're replying to me Aish?" Juan spoke in a flat tone. Looked at with a sharp look.

"I don't understand what you mean, Mom. Tell me where's my fault?"

"So you asked me not to say anything about Juan's letter. You want to protect her, and get married to Isha. That means you have a chance to get close. Aye right?" asyraf.

"That's not what I mean, Mom. I'm afraid you're wrongly accusing, ...." Not yet Aish finished talking Asyraf had cut off the wife's speech.

"ACCuse? The letter is tucked in the window sill of your room. The name of the sender is clear. Juan. You defended him for wanting to avenge me for this morning right? It's up to you to want it that way. Reply to me as you please Aish." Asyraf is offended by Aish's attitude when his wife means well.

Asyraf silenced Aish until they returned home with Zia. Aish tries to remain patient, still serving despite being ignored. Even when night fell Ashraf did not sleep in their room.

Aish got out of bed and looked for the whereabouts of the husband. On the first floor there was no him going up to the second floor. She went into the room that was once the husband's room. He saw the body of the husband curled up on the sofa.

Aish wanted to wake up so that the husband moved to a comfortable place but he did not do it when he saw a frame in the husband's arms. She took a blanket and then covered her husband's body.

He returned to the room carrying the tightness Ashraf had given him. He stared at the ceiling of the room, rubbing his stomach. Unexpectedly tears fell as he winked.

He also slept in a troubled heart. Can it hold out much longer. Should he leave? but it is too selfish if the child who is still in his stomach is kept away from the figure of the father.

It had been three days that Ashraf locked his mouth and made Aish feel claustrophobic. When pregnant young should he get more affection but this is the opposite. She goes through the early stages of pregnancy like a man who does not have a husband.

He had to resist the urge when suddenly one night he wanted a certain food. He could not have asked Ashraf who was angry with him.

"Mother father-to-diamond continues," asked Zia, feeling uncomfortable with the situation.

Aish smiled and rubbed the child's zinc head, "Father again saum."

"What is mother? Yes, but can I eat?"

"There, his name is saum speaking. As did his mother the prophet Isa a.s"

"Oh that?" Zia nods and looks cute in Aish's eyes. He helped Zia down from the chair after breakfast was over. Aish no longer tried to talk to her husband, it was useless because it was never answered.
