YOUR EYES GAVE ME A SOUL MATE

39. Dating After Marriage

"This kind of relationship is the most beautiful. Dating after marriage. Why touch other women who are not muhrim, while the halal ones are clearly in sight. The sin of adultery is a great sin, while denying a wife his due is also a non-trivial sin. My advice is to forget the past, let's just say that the woman has been looking after your soul mate" said Ustad Abdul Mamat

"The point is this. A good woman cannot take what is not her right. Especially taking it the wrong way. Remember that! be clever to control the passions if they do not want to be destroyed" continued Abdul Mamat.

Ega was bowed when he heard the advice of Ustad Abdul Mamat. For the next he read the question from other pilgrims and answered it briefly, and clearly.

There are no words spoken, nor a friendly scene when Ega and Najwa are in the car on their way home. The two men seemed to dissolve in their own thoughts. Even Ega did not turn on the music in his car, to drive away the quiet.

Upon arriving home, Ega and Najwa return to their rooms. They seemed to reflect on what they had heard from the elder Abdul Mamat.

"So in essence I have to resign when brother Ega asked for his rights. Don't mind the end result, and do my duty as my wife. Because in addition to seeking the husband's riddho, I also seek the ridho of Allah. Hah.your fate gini very Na, Na."

Najwa breathed a heavy sigh. After changing clothes, Najwa went to the kitchen to cook for lunch. Najwa and Ega forgot to eat lunch, after going home to attend the tabligh akbar.

"Sister. Can I come in?" asked Najwa from outside the door.

Kriekkk

Ega opened the door for Najwa. A beautiful smile was lifted from the corner of Najwa's lips, as her eyes met her husband's.

Grepppp

Ega suddenly hugged Najwa's body tightly, which made Najwa startled instantly.

"What's up, brother?" ask Najwa in wonder.

Ega let go of his hug and grabbed both sides of Najwa's face, kissing his wife's forehead.

"Pardon the brother who cannot be a good priest for you. I know the question at tabligh's place was a question from you, and vice versa. Najwa, if you will, may I ask for a little more time? I know all the words of Ustad are true, but I can't make Melody just disappear. You understand what I mean?"

Hearing that it was obvious that Najwa suppressed his feelings as strongly as possible. With a smile growing, Najwa grabbed both sides of her husband's face, and spoke as if she was fine.

"Sister. I will not force you to love me. Do everything according to your heart. Don't mind the words of others. Whether it's the words of oustad, my words, or the words of anyone who will affect you. If in the end you still choose Melody, I'm fine. It means our soul mate is short. Because I understand, a 3-year relationship is not a short one. Can't compare to our corn-like relationship." Answer Najwa.

Ega grabbed Najwa's hands and held them tightly.

"I promised to make room for us to fill each other. Teach me to love you Najwa, make my heart be filled with you. In order for the time of determination, I am absolutely certain that I will choose you. I'm sorry I made you one of two choices. Forgive me Najwa" said Ega, kissing Najwa's hands.

Najwa smiled again. Even without Ega knowing, that smile was a smile of bitterness.

"So calm down. I will try not to lose. Even though I don't know the direction I'm feeling yet, but I'm also willing to try. Are we both trying, brother?"

"Emm." Ega nodded.

"Now you are ready. I'm waiting for my brother at the dinner table. We missed our lunch today" Najwa said.

Ega patted his forehead for his stupidity.

"sorry. Because it's too late in your own mind, brother forgot to pay attention to you," said Ega.

"It's okay. I should have reminded brother too. But I forgot too." Answer Najwa.

"Yes, brother." Answer Najwa.

Najwa then exited the room and closed the door. Without feeling Najwapun shed tears, and wipe it as shiny as possible. Meanwhile Ega rushed out, as he did not want to miss lunch with his wife.

"Emm.there's something I want to propose to you," said Ega as he chewed his food.

"What brother?" asked Najwa who then put a spoonful of rice into his mouth.

"I don't want to start tonight when we sleep in the room." Answer Ega.

Uhukkk

Uhukkk

Hearing Ega's words, Najwa chokes. The shadow of the first night with Ega instantly seeped into his mind.

"Are you okay?" ask Ega while offering a glass of water.

Najwa grabbed the drink and gulped it down the toilet.

"I'm okay." Answer Najwa.

"If you object, sister is okay," said Ega.

"No brother. Come to think of it as necessary to build a relationship between us." Answer Najwa.

Hearing that Ega smiled happily, and spooned the rice and side dishes and thrust them in front of Najwa's mouth.

"Open your mouth!" said Ega.

Najwa smiled before finally opening her mouth to receive a bribe from Ega. Najwa then does the same to Ega.

"May I call you darling?" ask Ega.

Najwa blushed at Ega's words, before finally nodding. After they finished their lunch, they went back to Ega's room to talk a lot.

"Sister. I was sleepy" said Najwa.

"Sleep! we'll take a nap together" said Ega, who was embraced by Najwa.

Najwa then closed his eyes, but just as he was about to fall asleep, Ega got a call from someone. Najwa knew very well who made the call. Because a moment after lifting him up, Ega went straight out of the room for fear that Najwa would hear.

"It's so hard to make you fall in love with me brother. Moreover, you do not close access for the woman so as not to interfere with your defense. Because after I noticed, your mood would change after talking to him. But that's okay, I'll do my best to defend our household" said Najwa.

After receiving the call for almost 20 minutes, Egapun re-entered the room and lay down beside Najwa.

"Bobok a good heart, dear," said Ega lirih.

Egapun hugged Najwa from behind, not long after he fell asleep.
