YOUR EYES GAVE ME A SOUL MATE

7. Najwa's

Najwa still felt uneasy at the place where he was teaching. An hour had passed from him calling the in-laws, but Najwa had not received any news. Najwa is still trying to be patient, although his heart is still at odds.

Najwa looks back at the clock on his wrist. It's been 2 hours since she called her parents-in-law last time. Luckily the lesson hours were coming to an end, so Najwa rushed over wanting to get home quickly.

"Let me know if there's anything" Butet said.

"Emm." Najwa nodded before the matic motorbike he was carrying shot away from the school grounds.

"Mas. Hope you're okay. Why is your phone completely inactive, you really make me anxious," said Najwa.

Funny daydreaming in the street, Najwa unconsciously passed a hole deep enough, until he fell from the motorbike.

"Awwww.sakitt..."

Najwa tried to get up on his own, because the streets were quite quiet and there was no one passing by to help him. Najwa examined her body which was in pain. And sure enough, his hands and feet had blisters because he had fallen on the asphalt road.

Najwa saw a slight tear in the skirt she was wearing, which she did not know what caused it.

Najwa then lifted the motor that rolled on the asphalt road, there were some scratches on the motor that made Najwa so sad.

"Sorry Nana, huh? Nana can not keep the favorite objects mas well," said Najwa lirih.

Najwa then started running the bike at a moderate speed. He wanted to get home quickly.

On the other hand, Sumirah first got news from the besan, about what happened to his daughter-in-law. Suratmo who had just returned from pitting chickens, was surprised to see his wife sobbing.

"Ono opo? why are you crying like that? sad to have Najwa married? no need to be more, gradually she will definitely leave us to follow her husband," said Suratmo.

"Pak 'e. Why is Najwa's fate like this, sir'e. Hiccu...."

Sumirah fell into her husband's arms while sobbing.

"Why are you? what's wrong with Nana?" ask Suratmo.

"Our daughter-in-law sir'e, our daughter-in-law in Jp's town died sir'e." Sumirah replied with trembling lips.

Brukkkkkk

The rooster and his container, separated from the bitterness of Suratmo. The chicken soon fled somewhere, while Suratmo fell unconscious from shock and also from the hypertensive disease she suffered.

Sumirah suffocated as she cried for help from her neighbors. The neighbors came to help Suratmo to quickly wake up.

"Yes Allah dok...mak'e ndak know, what is your condition now? you must be very sad," Inner Sumirah.

Meanwhile, Najwa's motorbike slowed down a bit, when he saw some people making a tent in front of his in-laws' residence. And when he saw a yellow flag in the corner of the fence of his house-in-law, Najwa's body suddenly limp but also tremble. Bad thoughts soon haunt him, and only one is fixed, the beloved husband.

The eyes of everyone present at the residence suddenly turned towards him, as Najwa parked the motor in front of the house in a hurry. Everyone was like whispering about him, while Najwa looked confused but his whole body suddenly cold.

Intan turned towards Najwa who had just come on the doorstep. Tears of the woman's lungs increased rapidly, when he saw the arrival of the son-in-law.

Najwa seems to know what the next diamond will say, but Najwa jugo refused if it was true according to his estimates.

"Affan's gone, son...Affan left us all. Affan we're dead. Hiccup ...."

Najwa's tears had fallen, which he had been holding. His eyes, heart and ears were blind and deaf after hearing what Intan had said. Najwa's body trembled violently before her cries finally broke and then became unconscious.

About 30 minutes later, Najwa fell asleep. Then the woman woke up and her crying broke again. The woman did not expect, that the sad news would approach her who had just been married for less than a week.

"Nana," exclaimed Sumirah who had just arrived with Suratmo.

"Buk. Hiccu...."

Najwa splashed into Sumirah's drown with deep sobs. Seeing that no one shed tears, including Suratmo the hard-hearted and angry man.

"Prophe ndok. This is your test, the test of all of us." said Sumirah.

"But Nana just got married buk'e. Nana can't afford to lose Affan. Hiccu..."

"Eling. You can't say that, all this is God's lust."

"But this is too cruel for Nana buk'e. Why should Nana? wh why? Hiccu...."

"Istigfar ndok. Call it! do not let your faith crumble, only once given a test of this magnitude."

"Buk... Hikz..mas Affan..buk...."

Suratmo's heart was crushed to see her daughter who suffered so much to lose the husband she had just married.

Najwa could not sleep overnight, because Affan's body would come into the end of the day. Her tears had no chance of drying up. The memory of Affan and himself seemed to be the slide he remembered. So sweet is the story of his romance with Affan, for 9 years he intertwined the love story to the guarantee. But the memory was suddenly swept by a storm, when he was newly married for a few days, had to lose Affan for good.

Najwa even read over and over again the contents of the last chat, as she communicated with Affan during her time at school.

"Hikz.tega once you leave Nana mas. We dated 9 years, but you left Nana a few days after we got married. You're cruel to Nana. Hiccu...."

"And the most painful. You left Nana with all your sweet promises. Didn't you say you wanted to take me on my honeymoon? you promised to bring me a present, too, but what is this? take care of it all, even you have not fulfilled your obligations as a husband. Hiccu...."

Najwa hugs a medium-sized frame, and there is a portrait of Affan in Army uniform.

"Mas said kangen with Nana, why do you have to go home in this state mas. Wh why? Nana hates you mas, Nana hates. Hiccu...."

Without Najwa knowing, Intan hears all the sadness that Najwa says from behind the door. The woman was only able to close her mouth, so that her crying was not heard by her daughter-in-law.

"O Lord, what trials have you given to my son-in-law. As a mother, I was sad to lose my son. But pity Nana who must be a widow at the age of her marriage is still new. May you broaden Najwa's heart, may he pass through this suffering quickly" Intan's mind rested on the wall near Najwa's room.

Tired of crying, Najwapun fell asleep while hugging Affan's photo.
