Zahwa My wife

Chapter 181

Reyhan drove his car with a feeling of disappointment and also shame, still vividly remembered on his face the look of Aisyah's face that looked angry at him. He slammed the car door when he arrived in front of his house, he deliberately brought his car and did not stop at Nazwa's house because he did not want to meet anyone.

His face looked so tangled, his feelings were very chaotic, implied a sense of regret in his mind for having followed the idea made by Nadia and her Husband. But regret is useless, everything has already happened.

Really Reyhan never thought Aisyah would be that angry to him. Reyhan had imagined it was difficult to melt the heart and anger of Nadia's parents, but for Aisyah's anger, Reyhan never expected it to happen, what's more lately he feels that Aisyah is getting close and even Reyhan feels that Aisyah likes him. But really, unfortunately, it turns out that all her assumptions were wrong.

Reyhan came in and immediately slammed his body into the chair, he rubbed and ruffled his hair. His frustration peaked and eventually slammed the car keys that were on the table onto the floor.

Reyhan leaned back while staring at the ceiling of the house, his hands moved massaging his forehead, then he started to close his eyes. When he felt relaxed enough to control his heart, Reyhan got up and headed for the bathroom.

As usual, after the magrib prayer at the cottage mosque, Reyhan had dinner at Nazwa's house. And when their dinner is almost over, Rangga intends to convey his intention to borrow a car to Reyhan, because he will go to Jakarta for a few days to do control in the hospital with Nazwa.

But unlike usual, this time Reyhan looks no appetite, he also looks moody. Rangga and Nazwa were astonished by her, they threw gazes at each other, and wondered in each other's hearts what really happened to Reyhan?

"Mas, the plan is tomorrow me and Nazwa want to go to Jakarta to check up, can I borrow a car?" Ask Rangga. He dared to ask his brother.

"I'm coming along." Reyhan replied suddenly, making Rangga and Nazwa again surprised, again the couple looked at each other.

"Will you come back to Jakarta?" Rangga asked again to convince his hearing.

"Hmm, it's not good that you take the car too long, after all it will take a few hours to get to Jakarta." Reyhan said, the reason is very reasonable.

"Yes, but what about les.." Not finished Rangga spoke, Reyhan immediately cut off his speech.

"I've not been taught anymore, and I've decided to go back to Jakarta to help papa again in the company." Answer Reyhan.

Reyhan got up from his seat, and said that he would meet Abi Nazwa to say goodbye, and would take care of all his clothes in the house he was in. Rangga only looks disturbing, and after his brother left from before him and Nazwa, then he opened his voice.

"What happened to Reyhan, why did he suddenly want to go home?" Rangga.

"I also don't know, maybe there is a business, tomorrow just try to ask Reyhan mas, maybe Rey would like to tell a story dear." Nazwa.

"Hmm, yes." Reply Rangga.

The next morning, after finishing the morning prayers, Reyhan, Rangga and Nazwa immediately left for Jakarta, after saying goodbye to the two Nazwa parents.

Meanwhile, knowing her husband would be arriving today, Nadia was seen tidying up all her clothes and putting them in her suitcase, wanting to leave her parents' house as soon as her husband arrived.

"Mba Him." Aisyah's soft voice rang out from behind the door, several times she was heard knocking on Nadia's room door.

"Come on Ayesha, the door's not in the lock." Answer Nadia.

Aisyah opened the door and found Nadia who was busy cleaning her clothes. Aisyah was silent for a moment to pay attention to Nadia, she felt guilty for the quarrel Nadia and also her father-in-law, she realized that actually Nadia was well-intentioned to her, she was actually good to him, but he could not take Reyhan's declaration of love for granted because his fear of his father-in-law was greater than his love for Reyhan who began to grow and pent up.

"Get Him, I'm sorry, it's all because of me." Aisyah lowered her head, her tears could no longer bear.

Hearing Aisyah's words, Nadia stopped her activity, she took a heavy breath, then turned her body to face Aisyah who was bowed. Nadia is actually very upset with Aisyah's attitude towards Reyhan, but Nadia does not want to blame Aisyah, she knows that actually the woman in front of her is very depressed with all these circumstances.

Nadia clasped both hands of her sister-in-law, then pulled her in her arms, Nadia also joined in crying at that time.

"It's not your fault, Ai. But after this you can't help you anymore to get out of papa's shackles." Said Nadia, and Aisyah's crying was getting broken.

Nadia let go of her embrace and held both sides of Aisyah's cheeks.

"Mba knows you actually like Reyhan, and this is your chance to break away from this family. Do you want to live a normal life like any other woman? Mba knows it, but now he can't do anything anymore. Aisyah, I hope you will forgive papa's attitude yes, and pray that someday his heart will melt." Nadia.

"Mr." Aisyah again broke into tears at Nadia's words, and hugged her sister-in-law again.

"Mba's gonna go see Reyhan and apologize to him." Said Nadia, then let go of their embrace.

Nadia and her son immediately left the house of their master when her husband arrived, they went away without saying goodbye to her father, and on the way home she told her husband's Word. Hearing Nadia's story, Firman immediately invited his wife to meet Reyhan and apologized, he felt guilty to the man, because however it was his idea and also his wife to help Aisyah.

Firman stopped his car while in front of the cottage, they went down and wanted to ask Reyhan's whereabouts to Nazwa's parents, because they had repeatedly tried to call Reyhan's phone but could not.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Nadia and Firman together gave greetings when they met Abi Nazwa who happened to be in the front yard of the cottage.

"Wa'alaikumu greetings." Ustadz Zakaria turned his body.

"Pig." Firman greeted while greeting the middle-aged man. While Nadia only put her palms together on her chest.

"Eee, you guys are Word and Nadia, right?" Ustad asked the two while remembering, knowing that they had not met each other for a long time.

"Yes Abi is right." Answer the Word with a smile.

"Well, tumben once, let's please let's just go inside the house." Invite Zakaria and want to turn her body to bring her guest to her house. But the invitation was immediately rejected by the Word, because their purpose was to ask Reyhan.

"No need for Abi, we're just for a minute." Say Word.

Ustaz Zakaria faced the two.

"We're here to find Reyhan, Abi." Answer Word.

"Reyhan's? You knew him?" Ask abi Nazwa. Of course he felt confused because how they could get to know each other while Reyhan classified as new to his family.

"Yes we know him, some days he's been tutoring our son, Agra." Connect Nadia.

"Teacher les?" The man showed his confusion. "Oh, so yeah. But unfortunately, Reyhan has returned to Jakarta with Nazwa and also Rangga." Abi Nazwa.

"When?" The surprised Nadia spontaneously asked quickly, making Abi Nazwa also surprised to hear her lightning-like question.

"Just this morning, after dawn they're gone, so as not to get stuck too long." Ustad Zakaria explained.

Nadia's face looked lethargic after hearing the middle-aged man's words, let alone to give rewards for his services that had become his son's tutor even if only pretending, thanking him he had not had time. But Nadia's main goal to see Reyhan is to apologize of course.

They left after saying goodbye to Abi Nazwa, Nadia looked so sad but her husband tried to comfort her.

"Mas, I really feel guilty." Nadia.

"Please, Reyhan's a good man, he won't blame you." Firman gently rubbed his wife's arm, as they walked towards the car.

* * *

The day went on, not feeling a week after a week passed so quickly, since returning to his papa office, Reyhan's attitude turned so cold, the shadow of Aisyah's face and the events in Nadia's parents' house still often disturb Reyhan's mind.

He still could not erase Aisyah's name, but he also hated to remember the events of that day.

Sometimes Reyhan looks very messy and ruffled his own hair, but sometimes he also seems to smile himself when imagining the face and sweet smile of Aisyah's. Once his father caught the strange incident twice from Reyhan, but when asked, Reyhan never wanted to answer and just said that he was okay.

In the evening, Reyhan and his family are seen eating their dinner, and on the sidelines of the meal, papa Reyhan said that they will go to Nazwa's hometown tomorrow morning because there will be a family event at Nazwa's house, and his father invited Reyhan to come with them.

When Reyhan's face looks grim, his appetite becomes lost, every time he heard the name of Nazwa's hometown makes him feel embarrassed, his memories of the incident at Nadia's house immediately run to fill his head. Reyhan also tried to reject the invitation of his parents, he said that there was important business in the office and he could not participate.

"Pa, it looks like I can't come." Reyhan said, he was seen putting his spoon and fork slowly and then putting his fingers together with each other.

"Why Rey?" Papa and his mother asked simultaneously, making Rangga and Nazwa look at each other when they heard their uncle and aunt's reaction.

"Tomorrow there's business I can't leave at the office." Reyhan replied just the origin.

"There's certainly something important in Rey's office, so that papa takes care of it, papa will contact papa's manager to take care of all the office needs tomorrow." Papa Reyhan knows that his son is just looking for an excuse not to come, because all the affairs of his office he must know and he thinks there is currently no office business that is so urgent.

"Can't do that dong pa, I'll have to remain professional and can't be careless even if papa''s child.'' Reyhan is still standing by and looking for an excuse.

" Rey, you have to stay there, this is an event at your sister-in-law's family home, if you don't come with papa and mom will feel bad about Nazwa's parents. Nazwa will be sad too, right?" His mother turned to Nazwa, winking her eyes, giving a slight hint for Nazwa to coax her sister-in-law.

"I yes mas, mas Rey follow ya so that mas Rangga there is a friend there." Nazwa seemed to speak nervously, he had to speak as long as he sought to persuade Reyhan, as he had no prior compromise with aunt Rita.

"Come on, come along." This time Rangga persuaded his brother.

"Ah yes already, but don't stay there long, if we need to finish the event we go home, I have a lot of business." Reyhan said, then he immediately got up leaving the dining table.

***

The next morning, after finishing the morning prayer, Reyhan and his family immediately departed, they deliberately traveled in the morning, so that it was not too late to arrive there, so that it was not too late, because their journey almost takes five to six hours. Reyhan took the car with his mother and father, while Rangga and Nazwa chose to bring their own car.

Reyhan had forbidden Rangga to drive himself and suggested using one car only, but Rangga refused and said that they carried a lot of goods in the trunk of his car.

Arriving there, after shaking hands with Nazwa's parents, Reyhan immediately said goodbye and went to the new house he used to live in by using his car, there he could rest while looking at the scenery behind the house.

Reyhan opened the door of the house and immediately went inside, he sat on the sofa resuscitating his body while closing his eyes, the fresh aroma of the fragrance of the room made him more relaxed and comfortable sitting there.

Not feeling the day continues to crawl into the evening, Reyhan who laid his body on the sofa was awakened when he heard the voice of Adhan Ashar, fatigue in his body was enough to pay off by resting a few hours.

Reyhan immediately returned to the residence of Nazwa's parents to pray, after finishing praying at the mosque in the cottage, Reyhan decided to gather with his family in the house of Nazwa, Nazwa, there he found them looking so busy preparing equipment that is commonly used for people to do applications.

"So it's a proposal show?" Reyhan asked who had just sat down to join them.

"Yes. Does Reyhan's son know?" Umi Nazwa asked him.

Reyhan shook his head with a smile at Umi Nazwa.

Nazwa seems so deft to form a variety of equipment that will be put into the box handover.

"Who wants a proposal?" The question popped from Reyhan's lips, making the others shocked and staring at each other upon hearing it.

Reyhan who did not get an answer, was confused to see the reaction of the people around him, he felt confused and tried to remember whether the question might have been wrong. But Reyhan said the question was not wrong.

"Ee it, Na Nazwa's brother." Answer her mother nervously, making Reyhan even more confused by her mother's behavior.

"Later Rey knew for herself." Nazwa answered quickly.
