Zahwa My wife

Chapter 59

Anton can't sleep all night, he tries to close his eyes but the shadow of Zahwa's face always comes and haunts him. In the morning, he was seen driving his car to Zahwa's shop, where Lina and her friend who was clean felt surprised by Anton's arrival that morning.

Anton got out of the car and approached Lina. This woman is the closest Zahwa thinks she is, so she must know where Zahwa is.

"Can I talk to you Lin.?" anton asked as he approached all the employees who had been seen clumping together when he saw his arrival.

"Alright sir." said Lina, then gave an aba to the others to get out of the way and into the store.

"Lin, you are one of the people closest to Zahwa, so you must know where my wife is.?" anton asked, he spoke a little sternly, so that Lina could see that he was talking seriously.

"Yesterday afternoon Zahwa did contact me sir, he said he wanted to go home in an unspecified time, so he asked me to take care of this store." Lina spoke with a little fear, seeing Anton's messy state, so she felt that the man would do anything if he mispronounced.

"Do you know where the village of his master is.?" ask Anton again.

"Mbak Zahwa does often mention the name of his village sir, but I do not know the address of the parents' house mbak Zahwa sir." explained Lina.

Anton looks more frustrated to hear Lina's words, he went to leave the woman without saying goodbye, but Lina tells him because she knows that Anton is now feeling shaken at the departure of Zahwa.

Anton drives his car to his parents' house. He thought that his only hope was his father, because Mr. Gunawan could not possibly not know the existence of Zahwa's parents' house, even his father who had sent his wife to return home.

Upon arriving at his parents' house, Anton immediately runs into the house and screams for his papa's whereabouts.

"Pa, papa, where is pa.?" cried Anton while pacing back and forth looking for the whereabouts of his papa.

"Your father has no son." said the mother who was seen approaching her son.

"Where ma, has papa left for the office.?" ask Anton again.

"Your father has left for the airport early in the morning, there is work that he must complete, son, and papa will return again within a week" said his mother.

Anton was seen starting to cry again hearing the words of his mother, the only hope was now dashed, Anton tried to contact his father to ask for the address of Zahwa's parents' home, but his father did not respond to calls or chats from Anton.

His mother was also sad to see the condition of his son, but he could not do anything either. He helps Anton to walk to his room and tells Anton to clean his body.

"Don't be patient, I'm sure Zahwa will come back to you, now you must reflect on all the mistakes you've done to him, so this is all a lesson to you and apologize to God for all your deeds, begging him to bring you and Zahwa back together." mama Melinda said she advised her Son, then let Anton in his own room.

After coming out of the room and closing the door again Anton's room, Melinda's mother's tears were again broken, he felt unable to see Anton's situation, Anton, only in Zahwa stay within a day he already looks helpless. How is it possible to wait for his father to return after one week.

Actually the departure of his father was just an excuse, because he wanted Anton to realize his piety and no longer hurt Zahwa.

This afternoon is Reyhan's scheduled departure to America, but due to yesterday's events he felt unsettled to go before meeting Anton and knowing how the condition of his best friend's household.

Reyhan immediately headed to Anita's room, after he had previously called and asked where the woman was.

Geck, tok, tok..

"Get in." I heard an answer from inside the room.

"Assalamualaikum sis." said Reyhan after he opened the door and saw the whereabouts of Anita in his room.

"Waalaikum greetings, enter Rey" said Anita. And Reyhan walked in and approached Anita and sat on the chair in front of Anita's seat.

"How's Anton doing, brother.?" reyhan asked after sitting his body on the chair.

"Yes, she looks shocked at Zahwa's departure" Anita explained.

"Zahwa go, where's brother.?" Reyhan was surprised to hear Anita's words.

"Hmm, he wants to calm himself in his parents' house for a while" Anita explained.

"Son, I'm sorry it was me who couldn't keep up the words, it ended up being this way." Reyhan looks very sorry.

"It's Rey, maybe this incident should have happened, so that Anton can realize his mistake, and also realize his love for Zahwa, we take his lesson for this incident." Anita tries to calm Reyhan's heart, because she knows that Reyhan will feel very guilty about this incident.

"Then what about their household, brother.?" ask again.

"Zahwa is unlikely to act carelessly Rey, I'm sure he will forgive Anton" said Anita, he was very sure his sister-in-law would not take the wrong step and decision.

After speaking at length, Reyhan also said goodbye to Anita because she will soon leave for America, Anita tried to eliminate the concerns that are in Reyhan's heart, because he does not want Reyhan to leave with still holding the burden of the chaos of Anton and Zahwa's household. Anita convinces Reyhan that Anton's household will definitely improve, and Zahwa will definitely return home soon. They just want Anton to realize all his mistakes.

In a village, after traveling for three hours, Zahwa and his father finally arrived at a boarding house owned by his father. Zahwa was welcomed by his aunt and cousin, they were very happy with the arrival of Zahwa who had not seen them for a long time.

"Assalamualaikum Bik" said Zahwa then salute and hug his aunt.

"Waalaikum salam." The aunt and her cousin replied together, returning Zahwa's embrace tightly.

"Naz" called Zahwa to his cousin and they were seen hugging each other.

Nazwa is Zahwa's cousin, the son of his uncle and aunt, both of whom are only a few months old, so it looks like twins are again supported by their faces that at first glance do look very similar.

"Let's go in." Ask her aunt to let Zahwa and her father in. And they also enter a house that looks very simple but so looks beautiful and feels very cool.
