Wrong Khitbah
155. SK: HARD WORK
1 month passed
The situation is still the same, nothing has changed. Akhtar was still faithful with his sleep, and Zahwa was always with him. But, a little different. After two weeks of Akhtar's surgery, Zahwa took over her husband's entire job.
So many jobs have been neglected since the accident. Thousands of lives and the fate of many depend on their work led by Akhtar himself. Even the Orphanage also Ma'had founded by Akhtar began to drift. Everyone is so late in grief. But not with Zahwa. This strong woman, willing to divide her time and energy to do all her husband's work.
Mr. Bathur is always ready to serve him, as well as Mother Geza who every day takes care of Zahwa and her baby.
In the morning he will go to the hospital to meet Akhtar, after the completion of Dhuha prayer he will go to Ma'had to take care of all the work there. After that he went to Akhtar's office, checked all the abandoned files during Akhtar's stay and took over as meeting leader regarding Akhtar's company status.
At the turn of Zhuhur ahead of Ashar, Zahwa will leave to the orphanage to meet the children, check all financial affairs, kitchen, administration to the donation body.
Until the time of magrib Zahwa then went home, resting a tired body all day. After finishing Isya prayer, Zahwa will sit leaning on the headboard by straightening his legs.
His hands continued to massage the increasingly swollen feet . Unconsciously her tears dripped, one hand patting her chest softly that felt tight.
In his heart he murmured, what if all the sacrifices he had made so far could not be witnessed by his Husband. In her little heart was the fear of not being able to see Akhtar's beautiful eyes again for good. His mind floated, imagining his son would not know his father.
Too far away his mind wandered, making Zahwa instantly aware. Her lips were sharp, her hands were wiping away the tears on her cheeks.
Crane..kring... The focus is diverted to the phone that says "Mother WaWa" there.
After calming down, Zahwa picked up the phone. As usual Mother Fatimah will ask her news, then accompany her until she falls asleep.

Next day
Early in the morning, before Zahwa left for the hospital, Zahwa got a call there was a sudden meeting that had to be held at the company immediately. Quite surprising since it's still too early for a meeting.
But after hearing the discussion that will be discussed, Zahwa immediately prepared to go to the office.
Thirty minutes later, Zahwa arrived at the office parking lot. In the lobby Mr. Bathur was standing waiting for his presence. Zahwa tidied up his appearance before getting out of the car. Carrying a large stomach, Zahwa walked quickly into the meeting room.
Sitting at the meeting leader's table slightly made Zahwa tremor, even almost speechless.if he was nervous like this, he would get a small kick in his stomach.
"aakhhhww" ringis Zahwa
huufftt seemed to get encouragement and Zahwa spirit will feel confident and authoritative during the meeting.
"Sorry Miss, but if this keeps up how are our partners?" said one of the branch heads
"Yes, same sir. I've thought about that too, but for now we have to be patient because our circumstances are very narrow.only my husband knows where this company goes, because he founded it"
"Patience, patience, patience, and patience. We've been patient enough, miss. But I don't know, what about the others. If there is no end to it, they or even all of us will lose our jobs. Waiting for Mr. Akhtar to wake up is the same as waiting for something in vain" he said raising his tone
The deg!
"Relax sir, I am silent here does not mean I am not thinking about what you are saying. I understand, don't keep pushing but you don't give me a way out at all" the man immediately bowed in shame to get a humble look from people
Zahwa adjusted his breathing, then continued speaking. "I'm sorry, if my word is too harsh. Gentlemen be patient, I am looking for a way to solve our problems" Zahwa kept silent for a moment and then said, "I want all reports from each branch to be gathered tomorrow. Please cooperate"
The meeting closed all the members out of the room. Zahwa held his head. Quite dizzy to think of this, which he had never worked on at all.
Zahwa came out of the meeting room, and returned to his temporary room. Yes, temporarily, because he was sure that Akhtar would return to this room.
Arriving there, Zahwa discussed with Mr. Bathur about all revenues from this company.
Clearly and in detail he explained transparently the real as it is about all that he knows.
"In essence, Mr. Akhtar founded this company, clean using his money. There are rarely investors who want to cooperate because they do not agree with the principles of this company, which will not be returned to capital alias donated to other sectors. And some of the proceeds were spent to buy the businesses of the homeless who can now build their own homes by selling their own handiwork. And later their work was bought and then sold again by the company"
"Mr Akhtar has a mission to invite people to share and help others who really need, so it can be said, fifty percent of income in this company is clean from the pocket of Mr. Akhtar himself"
Zahwa was stunned to hear what Bathur said. Didn't expect so generous of her husband towards the needy. Now, Zahwa understands what he has to do.
...
After all the reports were gathered, three days Zahwa studied them all. Until within a week he could already read in which sector he would turn to to restore the company.
Week pass. In seven days it was more than enough for Zahwa to solve the problem that was carrying the burden of his mind some time ago.
Heart relieved he was able to refocus caring for Akhtar as before, only in some time he was to do the work. And now Zahwa is able to sleep soundly even though it is lacking.
As of now, Zahwa was sleeping in his room. His body was tired after a long day of activity. Anyone who stared at his shady face would surely join his heart to see this woman. Without saying, everyone already knows the dependents. But this is the path of Zahwa's destiny, this is the test of Zahwa's Love journey. Inevitably he must be able to pass it until it reaches the epilogue of their story.
