Woman Behind the Veil

Chapter 46

I came home with nothing, my feelings at that time can no longer be described how disappointed when the people I love now do not know where it is, where it is, am I going to lose someone I love a second time? It was enough that this heart was broken when Almarhumah Aisyah left me.

With a slow step I entered the house, at that time there was only Dad sitting in the guest room, when he saw me He then came to me.

Dad "how did Be? Meet you?"

I "shake my head"

Dad "do you end up trying your in-law phone? Sapa tau Wulan returned to Kalimantan Be"

After hearing Dad's words I just met the answer, well most likely Wulan must have returned to Kalimantan, I then saw the clock still shows at 22:30 pm, then advised Dad.

I'm "Well, Abe nitip Nissa yeah"

Dad "where are you going Be?"

I "want to chase Wulan, I hope it's still sparse"

Dad "where?"

I "airport Yah" while kissing His hand then leave the house again.

I ran the speed of the motor to reach 100km/h, through the cold of the night when it almost stabbed to the bone but I did not care about my condition which was already very sleepy, what I thought at that time was "I don't want to lose the person I love a second time, I want to prove to Wulan that she's the only woman in my heart after Aisha".

Arriving at the airport I parked my motorbike and then ran towards the departure gate, my eyes watching every corner of the room hoping Wulan was there, but I did not even find Wulan there, but I found Wulan there, but never tired of me looking for the existence of Wulan, I then approached the ticket seller to ask the last departure towards Kalimantan, but it was closed.

I also ran towards the monitor there displayed the flight departure time, I saw that the plane was leaving towards Kalimantan in half an hour.

"No abomination like it" my bathin, I also walked lethargic body that began to get tired I lay on the wall while staring ahead, coincidentally right in front is a waiting room for passengers.

Suddenly my gaze was fixed on a black veiled woman who was hurriedly walking up the stairs, well that was the Wulan that I could recognize from the watch she often wore.

I'm "LAN...WULANN...WAIT LAN...!" I shouted as I ran to rush into the waiting room but my hands were held tightly by 2 airport officers, want me to release the grip of the 2 guards but unfortunately their energy is very strong especially me who was in a state of fatigue at that time, I could only see from a distance Wulan who was walking further and further from my view and then lost in the crowd.

I was then taken to the officer's room and then interrogated but I didn't want to tell you about this.

After coming out of the officer room then I walked lethargic towards the front of the airport, I also walked towards the mosque which was not far from the airport and then lay down my body which was no longer able to stand, well, I fell asleep in the prayer hall to meet the dawn at the prayer hall.

After fulfilling my duty as a servant, I prayed that it would be easier to find Wulan, well because prayer is the most powerful weapon for a Muslim, prayer is like an arrow right on the target, because prayer is also my spirit that began to erode is now risen again.

That morning I also came back to the airport to book a plane ticket to Banjarmasin, I did not care about my body odor because I had not taken a shower from yesterday, my energy is drained because it has not been filled with food at all.

1 Hour drive I finally back again set foot on the island of Borneo for the second time, then after arriving right in front of my house My father steps walk reassured because I will soon meet Wulan, I will meet Wulan, I will explain to him that in my heart there is no other woman but him.

I'm "Assalamu'alaikum" while knocking at his house

"wa'alaikumsalam for a moment" replied the voice of the man who was none other than my in-laws

The door opened and he was a little surprised to see me in front of the door.

In-law "loh Son? Tumben's here?"

I'm "yes sir, where am I going?"

"You're alone, son? Where's Wulan?" cut him

After hearing the last question my knees seemed unable to support my weight, my hands leaned against the wall to balance my body, well, the last question from him is breaking down my faith because my last goal is at Wulan's house but I also do not find Wulan in his house, "where else should this servant step, O Allah? Is the fate of the servant indeed not a match with Wulan" I complained in my heart

"You're in-law why, son? I think you're exhausted?, let's go in first" said He who led me into his house

I'm "thank you sir, I'm actually here to pick up Wulan"

In-law "loh instead of Wulan is it the same as you Be, what are you guys having problems?" search Her

I then told him about why until Wulan ran away from home, in fact I did not want to worry him but this is the only way to find out where else Wulan will stop besides his own house.

I "maaffin Abe Sir, Abe failed to keep what you entrusted to Abe" bowed languidly

In-laws "Son, I know you are a good boy and sholeh, I just don't think why Wulan did such a thing, make the parents ashamed" he snorted annoyed

I'm "Sir is purely my fault, if not for the letter the possibility of Wulan will not run away" my defense

The father-in-law "thought for a moment"

In-laws "in fact you have another house that you now give to your former maid, Wulan considers her a foster mother, but?"

I'm "but what sir?" I'm starting to get curious

In-laws "away to Be's place, are you willing?"

I'm "god willing I can sir" answered me confidently

In-law "his house is on the stump"

I'm "button where is sir?"

In-laws "in central kalimantan, maybe 18 hours drive from here"

I'm "well then, I'll say goodbye, sir"

In-law "heh wait, do you know where that bump is?"

I "don't know sir" scratched my head

In-law "you already know in the driver's room Mr. Aja, he happens to know the address"

I'm "oia sir, thank you"

In-laws "if you've heard from Dad"

I'm "well, God willing, Assalamu'alaikum warrahmatullah"

In-law "wa'alaikumsalam warrahmatullah "

On a trip far enough away I spent just sleeping to unwind the tiredness I feel right now, I hope this is the last place I can find her, she said, sometimes I take turns with the driver because I feel sorry to see him who is also tired.

After going through a long journey that was so tiring that I finally reached the city of Buntok, then Mobil entered a village that is rarely home, rarely home, at that time it showed at 1 pm the atmosphere of the village was very quiet only a few people who were cool playing cards at the patrol post but one more sight that made me a little strange is every citizen which is seen by me flat on the waist they carry a machete, well a typical parang of the central Kalimantan tribe whose handles are shaped like hornbills.

The car finally stopped in front of the house made of wood shaped like a stilt house, if riding it must go through a staircase that connects to the terrace of his house.

The driver "gold heart to the tribe here, should be able to bring himself if not" while his hands are placed on his neck

I'm "calm sir, I'm here to pick up Wulan, god willing, what happened"

I got out of the car but not yet this footsteps moved away from the car until the door of the house was open, then came down a man who was not wearing clothes only in short pants walked up to me.

I'm "Assalamu'alaikum" I said

Man "wa'alaikumsalam, who are you!" with high notes

I'm "i'm Abe mas"

Man "want you come here?"

I'm "i'm going to pick up Wulan Mas"

The man "Wulan doesn't exist!"

I'm "Mas I'm sure Wulan is here, please Mas I'm far away from south Kalimantan just to be able to pick up Wulan"

The man "are you the man of Wulan's father?"

I'm "my husband Wulan Mas"

Man "oh you're Wulan's husband" while holding a machete handle on his waist

I'm "sorry mas, I came here with good intentions not wanting any violence"

Man "you did my foster sister huh!" while removing the machete from his partner

The position of the man was ready to attack me, while I just fell silent without being able to do anything, I can only pray while praying that tonight my death at least is not death when I commit adultery or in a state of idolatry.
