Woman Behind the Veil

Chapter 50

Wulan's face was like a sign of a person who was confused and wrong despite being hidden behind his veil but I could feel the anxiety he felt at that time, while the man with him was just as confused.

I sat in the middle of the two of them, folded my arms and laid them on the table, and opened the conversation.

"whose name is Mas?" ask me to open the conversation

"Bi.star Mas" stammered.

"Do you know who I am? And do you know who Wulan is?"

"Yes" without daring to look at me

"If you know why this mas lasainin to me Mas?"

"But I know Wulan better than you" he replied

"Why not get married then? Why is it that after I ask him to play back with my wife?"

"Silence cannot answer"

"I see the appearance of Mas is in accordance with the sunnah of the Prophet but mas far from the science of religion well"

"Cong you bring the religion?" protestations

"Soalya Mas's actions have violated the religion of Mas by doing Takhbib, mas know the sin of Takhbib?"

"Bringing your head"

"Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam threatened for the perpetrator of the Takhbib is not from my people who monopolize the wife of people to make her want a divorce from her husband"

"Submit to shame without refuting my words"

"The clothes that Mas wear are characteristic of salaf followers but Mas is not a Salafiyyin follower, you are a person in a salaf dress that makes this sunnah da'wah destroyed"

After hearing my words, the Star began to feel like an emotion by clenching her hands together.

"Why Mas?, You emotion?, Want to play violently?, If I want to have ruined Mas's face but I am reluctant to dirty my hands to face you" said I

"I should apologise and here I am the one who is obliged to be emotional, but I am not a human being who is more violent".

After being satisfied to talk to the man, now my gaze turned towards Wulan who had just lowered his head.

"Try to see Mas Lan" I asked.

He slowly looked at me

"Mas has what's wrong with you Lan?, Mas lack what?, a living born bathin is also Mas fullin for you, but why do you sell this all Lan?"

"I'm sorry, I actually received your proposal because of compulsion and I can't lie to my heart that Mas Bintang is the man I've always loved and not you" his eyes began to glaze over.

My heart ached so much as it was pierced by a very deep thorn when I heard the statement from him, I never realized it turned out that our relationship was built only based on coercion.

I took a deep breath and then said "you know ndak Lan, I hope you are the last woman who can replace Aisyah in my household life, but it turns out that all this time jealousy and the word love that comes from your mouth is just a falsehood"

I nodded my head and resumed my conversation "thoyyib, if that is the best, if indeed we can no longer be together tomorrow God willing we all face your parents including Mas Bintang"

"Maaffin I Mas" he said softly accompanied by a soft cry

"And you Mas, if you feel gentle come with me to face his parents and express your will, do not you date people's children without their parents' knowledge"

"Yes" replied the star

I was about to stand up and get away from them but suddenly my arm was held back by Wulan, I looked at him for a moment I saw his face shake my head as if I was reluctant to stay away from him but slowly my hands released Wulan's hands that grasped my arms.

I turned around regardless of the call from Wulan, I kept walking away from her to the hotel room, I walk like a drunken man of the earth like a shake I can't hold my foot to continue walking I'm sitting in my room.

I rubbed my face with my hands and bathed "your servant, O Allah, forgive Your servant who cannot keep the jewels that You have secured for me"

Wulan's words "to accept your proposal with compulsion" continued to ring in my ear, my heart like it was pierced and torn to shreds until it was no longer in shape, no longer in shape, I was beguiled by his charade all this time when the love in my heart began to grow for him, the love that began to take root in my heart finally had to be pulled back even though it was difficult.

The next day I packed my clothes and then I went out of the room and walked to a room and stopped right in front of it, a room in which there was someone who used to decorate my day. Before long the door opened and came out the woman who used to be very close to me but now it was like there was a dividing wall between me and herself so it was difficult to get close to her again.

"Are you ready?" I ask who no longer calls him with a favorite call.

"She" he answered and walked behind me

And when outside the hotel we sat waiting for the stars to fly with us to the parents of Wulan. Half an hour passed until 1 hour we waited for the star not to show the trunk of his nose.

"It's already, but it's not lifting" he replied in a lethargic tone

"Have he not dared to face the anti old man, it's not my business anymore the most important anti-tokong ana ntar to explain the case so that this problem is finished and so ana quickly to decide the word talak" said I as I stood up

"Mas.." call Wulan

I stopped my steps without looking back.

"Can't we repeat it from the beginning again"

I smiled faintly and then turned a little and replied "after you forced me to take away the love that had begun to be deeply embedded in this heart, and now you are forcing me to plant it again?"

I passed after there was no answer from him. We also took off from spinggan airport to Soeta airport and continued transit to banjarbaru syamsudinnoor airport in Wulan's hometown.

During the journey, not a word was uttered from our mouths. Finally, I arrived right in front of Wulan's house, it was really not nice to say the word separate in front of Wulan's parents but I set myself to say it.

The two Wulan parents were happy to welcome us like the closest people who had not met for a long time, but they did not know that my arrival would make the atmosphere of happiness turn into sadness.

"Thank God my son and my daughter-in-law have finally come too, I miss being with you" said the father-in-law

"How are you guys le, nduk" said Ms. Wulan

"Good Mom" said the two of us

"Tumben came here without saying anything? Want to give us a surprise like us?" said Wulan's father

"Lan you better talk about it" urged me

Wulan could only bow down not daring to speak a word. Wulan's attitude is what makes her parents suspicious.

"Ono opo is nduk? How to become diem dieman gini? try talking to Daddy"

Instead of answering Wulan instead cried sobbing in his father's lap while asking for forgiveness.

"You why the hell nduk? Nongbo? Why ask for mercy wong you're not wrong"

"Why is your wife Le?" ask his father to me

"Let Wulan aja Yah, who answers because he knows the problem" I replied

Because he suspected that there was a problem, finally, Wulan's father's two hands held Wulan's shoulders and questioned the problems we were facing.

Wulan finally told me in a hoarse voice and stammered that she had cheated on him with another man behind me. Hearing that angry was Father Wulan until the slap was finally inexorable.

"SORRY SIR, WULAN APOLOGIZE" crying

"Basar kid don't know in profit!!! I raised you, educated you to be a sholeha woman why even become a dissident woman!!"

"It's been Mr. E, don't be rude like your own child" said Ms. Wulan

"Father Shame with his father Abe Buk to see the behavior of your son who is rich in gini"

"Udah Be up to you now want to be rich how the same Wulan, want you talak is your right, I've dizzy thinking of this father's son" he said

"Once again I'm sorry sir, maybe it's my fault that I can't properly educate him, and it's also difficult sir if indeed Wulan accepts me with compulsion, and now in a good way as where I used to propose to him and parted in a good way anyway"

"And Father Mother as a witness that I have looked at Wulan with talak 3" I said without hesitation

"Also if the will of Nak Abe so you can not force the will, rich good children you should get a good wife too, greetings to your Father Be and apologies from the Father to your Father"

"God willing, sir, excuse me for saying Assalamu'alaikum warrahmatullah"

"Wa'alaikumsalam warraatullah" replied he who then drove me to his house.

A month after my return from Wulan's house, I started a new life by selling all my house assets and returning to the village where I was born, the place where my story began. I woke up again a simple house right next to my parents' house and lived with my only daughter Annisa.

Sometimes my Mom and Dad felt sorry to see me babysitting and raising Annisa without anyone accompanying but I still tried hard in front of them even though in my empty heart I needed a man the wife who is able to accompany and together take care of Annisa until big. The fear of events like when I was with Wulan made me stop to get married again.

Many offers from friends who come when you visit want to introduce their daughters but I always refuse subtly. I'm not a big boy because I'm not good-looking at all, I just want to take the time to build confidence in myself in order to get married again.
