Zahwa My wife

Chapter 177

"Abi, can Reyhan ask?"

"Of course, son, what do you want to ask Reyhan?"

At this time they were all gathered in front of the dining table, the atmosphere at the dining table was back a little crowded because of Reyhan, his mother, and also the driver they had eaten together.

With a sense of hesitation Reyhan intended to ask to express his heart to Abi Zakaria, but out of fear of disapproval he had wanted to undo his intention to ask, he said, but after rethinking all the considerations he finally decided to ask even though he had to swallow the bitterness if the request was not allowed later.

On the sidelines of their dinner, Reyhan finally ventured to ask Abi Zakaria questions and of course in front of his mother. Mama Rita was confused and wondered what exactly Reyhan wanted to ask, because her son had never told her anything before.

"Would Reyhan stay here for some time, I intend to study religion more deeply here with Abi?" With hesitation Reyhan conveyed his heart, occasionally he was seen glancing at his mother who was beside him.

Without a second thought, Nazwa's father immediately replied, because this was really good intentions for him.

"Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin. of course son, of course you can. As long as your intentions are good, and earnest then there is no reason for Abi to reject them." Abi Nazwa answered with pleasure and a smiling face.

"I really mean it, Abi." Reyhan replied convincingly.

"You're serious Rey?" Her mother, who was surprised by her son's words, tried to question him again to confirm his son's words.

"Reyhan seriously ma. Reyhan needs to learn more about religion. Mama's allowing it, isn't she?" Reyhan asked, seeing him raise both eyebrows, waiting for approval from his mother.

"Of course, honey, as long as your intentions are good and you mean it, mama will let you." With a smile, his name answered.

During this time Reyhan can indeed be said not to be very obedient to the teachings of his religion, especially since he decided to continue his S2 education abroad, the association there made him negligent to worship, especially since he decided to continue his education abroad, although he did not do things, Reyhan is no longer as obedient as before going abroad. And of course there is another intention in Reyhan's heart until he decided to live in the village and study in Abi Nazwa's cottage.

"Thank you ma." With a sweet smile, Reyhan clasped his mother's left hand on the dining table.

"Yes dear." Answer her mother with a smile. As a parent, of course, it will not be possible to prevent his child from studying, what else is the good purpose of Reyhan to be closer to his creator God.

"But if Reyhan could ask permission, Reyhan would like to hitch a ride in the new house, Abi?" Again Reyhan tried to ask permission, for some reason he felt happy living in the house.

With a smile on his face, Abi Nazwa replied.

"Please son, you can live wherever you like. Here it may be, in the house it may be, your eating business so that later the Umi arranged. Is it mi? " Ustad Zakaria turned to his wife for approval.

"Yes abi. God willing, every day Umi will send food there, yes." Nazwa's mother replied as she looked at Reyhan with a smile on her lips.

"Thank you, Umi." Reyhan.

Reyhan was happy not to be upset, all his intentions could finally be realized. They resumed eating, after being stopped by Reyhan's conversation.

***

One week Reyhan had been there, he was seen studying diligently and earnestly, and every day he was seen surrounding the village on foot, of course with the intention to look for Aisyah.

Reyhan was really curious about the girl's whereabouts, and to this day Reyhan still can't find her, but somehow there is no desire Reyhan to ask about Aisyah to the surrounding residents, he felt embarrassed if he had to wonder to and fro.

This morning Reyhan saw Nazwa brought by Uminya around the cottage, using a Nazwa wheelchair brought by his uminya to breathe fresh air outside the house. Reyhan approached them and offered to help him take Nazwa.

"Reyhan wouldn't mind taking Nazwa around for a minute, son?" Ask Umi Nazwa.

"No Umi with pleasure." Reyhan smiled.

"Well then Umi come in first yes, Umi wants to prepare something, today there will be a special guest for you, and if Reyhan does not mind, take Nazwa under the tree there son." His words.

"Guest Umi?" Reyhan asked curiously.

"Yes, they'll be here soon." Umi Nazwa continued with a smile, then after that he left the two without intending to tell Reyhan.

With curiosity Reyhan also brought Nazwa to go around to the front yard of the cottage, there looks lonely because the students who are following the lesson hours. Today, Umi Salma is seen in Nazwa's house, and usually she comes only to help Umi Maryam if there will be guests like the Reyhan family, but Reyhan does not intend to ask further.

"Hey Nazwa, do you know who Umi's guest is?" Reyhan asked as he continued to push the wheelchair. Actually he knew that Nazwa would not be able to answer him, but at least he could express his curiosity.

Reyhan stopped Nazwa's wheelchair, just below the tree Umi was referring to, and sat down before Nazwa as they were under a shady tree in the cottage's classroom. Umi told them to go to that place, because under the tree it really feels cool, and usually used by children while resting.

"Don't you know?" Reyhan asked again, but the one asked just stared blankly in front of him.

"Ah yes. Why did I forget yes, you are now not wanting to talk to me, why should I ask you." Said Reyhan who tried to make a joke for both of them, although the interlocutor certainly will not respond.

"Nazwa, do you know? I'm in love with a girl. Hmm, surely you won't know." and then laugh at himself again, of course Nazwa won't be able to know about it.

"His name is Ayesha, she is very sweet and beautiful, just like her name." Back blabbering vented his heart.

"But.. Now that I don't know where she is, she disappeared after we first met." Reyhan's face was sad.

"Hey Nazwa, can you tell me where he is?" Reyhan said while putting a sweet smile on his face, he was seen supporting his face using both hands in front of Nazwa.

Reyhan returned to the story and tried to remember Aisyah's face again, until finally the story was stopped because there was a voice calling her name.

"Mas Reyhan." Reyhan paused for a moment to hear the voice, trying to remember the owner of the voice, because he felt it was very familiar in his ears.

Reyhan also rose from before Nazwa and he turned back his body, he was fixated for a moment to see someone standing in front of him far enough, his body felt stiff instantly.

Long enough silent, Reyhan finally realized from his silence, he ran away from Nazwa in his wheelchair, then shouted while approaching his cousin's sister.

"Ladders." Even small circles appear to begin to glow from both of his eyeballs. The feeling of haru being able to see again his sister was not able to hide.

"Ladders." Reyhan mentioned his sister's name when he was in her arms. "Rangga, I'm sorry" Reyhan said softly in his sister's ear, repeatedly saying an apology.

"It's not Reyhan's fault." Said Rangga who was still in his brother's arms. While both Reyhan's parents could only smile behind them.

From a distance the two Nazwa parents seemed to approach, they walked with smiles, then stopped while behind Nazwa's wheelchair.

Papa Reyhan had told his wife that he would return to Indonesia with Rangga, because the doctor had allowed him to go home, and to check up, they do it enough in Indonesia. But when Rita's mother tells Reyhan's desire to live in Nazwa village, they also urge him not to tell her to be a surprise.

Papa Reyhan also contacted Abi Nazwa and told him the good news, but also asked not to tell Reyhan this.

Until the arrival of that time, when Rangga returned to Indonesia with his uncle, that day he intended to go to his wife's village after getting an explanation from his om and tantenya about the condition of Nazwa, but because of his health condition that has not allowed to travel far again after a long trip, it was with great difficulty om and tantenya persuaded Rangga to postpone his wishes until the next day.

After releasing a hug from Reyhan, Rangga also looked at his wife from a distance, without even dripping his tears, slowly he walked while wiping tears that he could not stop. Rangga accelerated his pace and then he ran to quickly arrive in front of his wife, Rangga rested in front of his wife who was on his wheelchair.

"Nazwa." Lirih.

Rangga immediately hugged his wife tightly evaporating the longing he had long felt, as if he was crying regardless of everyone around him.

Satisfied hugging his wife, Rangga also rose and greeted his two in-laws, and long enough he was in the arms of his father-in-law.

"I'm sorry Abi, can't keep Nazwa well." Said Rangga who was still seen hugging his father-in-law.

"It's not your fault, it's your destiny, son, this is the lifeline you two must face. God willing, after this happiness will accompany your household." Said Abi Zakaria who tried to strengthen her daughter-in-law.

"Aamiin, God willing Abi." Reply Rangga.

He knelt again before Nazwa, held his wife's hand, and then stared fixedly at Nazwa's face. Tears returned with a drop after a drop falling on the hand of his wife who was in his grasp.

"Assalamu'alaikum Nazwa, this is mas, mas has returned dear, and promised never to leave you again, pardon mas for leaving long enough from you without saying, sorry also for not being able to be next to you when you're in your toughest times baby." Rangga's words sounded so sad, and it was heavy to say from his lips.

And as if to understand what her husband said, Nazwa was seen crying, clear circles dripping from his eyes, adding to the voice of Rangga's heart was getting sadder.

Unable to hold back tears, Rangga again hugged his wife with a crying voice that broke instantly.

There was a sense of warmth running through Nazwa's body as she felt the warm embrace of her husband, with great effort she tried to respond to him.

Miracle ensued, Nazwa tried his hardest to move his hand, and slowly hugged the husband who was hugging him.

All eyes saw the miracle, and all immediately walked closer to the two.

Rangga was seen to tighten his embrace when he felt his wife's hands trying to hug him.

"You can definitely love, you should be able to get through all this, we can get through this all with Nazwa." Rangga.

Inhaled by the deep air and slowly Nazwa tried to exhale her, she tried to open her mouth and slowly tried to call her husband.

"M, um." The voice came out very slowly and was almost inaudible to those around him, but Rangga who was still hugging his wife could of course hear the call very clearly.

Rangga was surprised, releasing a hug from his wife's body, then with both hands he held both of his wife's cheeks.

"Say, say once more dear, say it louder." pinta Rangga.

Nazwa was smiling, and she tried to call her husband back.

"Mas" this time sounded a bit strong voice, so that others could hear it.

"Alhamdulillah." At the same time, everyone is thankful.

"Can you talk, son?" Uminya who was immediately covered in tears immediately hugged Nazwa and showered him with a kiss.

***

The haru-blue scene that occurred in the courtyard of the cottage was finally finished, after they had jointly entered into the house of Nazwa, and it seemed like it would continue while already inside the house later.

Now, only Reyhan is left standing still staring under the shady tree in the cottage yard while staring at the departure of the others to the abi Nazwa house, he was still amazed by the events that were in front of his eyes.

How not, after a long time unable to speak, even medical help could not cure, finally Nazwa returned to normal as usual just because of the presence of Rangga.

"This is called the power of love." Reyhan murmured, he shook his head with a smile.

Rangga again took a heavy breath, and again muttered lamenting his fate.

"Zahwa was finally happy with Anton after successfully maintaining his household that was almost destroyed, and now they already have a baby.'' Reyhan smiled, then muttered softly.

"The power of Nazwa and Rangga's love is no doubt, after all the heavy events they went through they are finally together again." He smiled back.

"Now I live alone, why does it feel like finding a future wife more difficult than finding a woman who just to be invited to have fun. Even to find Ayesha alone it feels very difficult." Reyhan laughed at himself.

At the same time seen passing a sweet girl using a bicycle, the clang of her bell rang when greeting people she met on the street. Reyhan who heard the sound of the bicycle bell turned his head and saw who was pedaling the bike.

Reyhan was glad not to be overcast, finally able to see Aisyah again.he happily called the girl's name.

"DAD." Reyhan immediately ran after the bike, after being completely convinced that it was Aisyah.
