IMRANS

Emyr was silent. Then Malik spoke again about Shanum.

"If you have opened Shanum's mobile phone. Surely you know what I mean, Sir."

Emyr smiled formally again. "Yes! Im sorry. Because I accidentally saw a picture of her marriage with her husband."

"They are not husband and wife anymore sir. Because my brother chose to divorce Shanum for another woman."

Hearing Dyah's words, there was a sense of tightness within the chest. Emyr as a man like Imran. It is very dislike if there is a man who dared to hurt a woman. Moreover, he is his wife.

It's cool talking. The three of them's attention was blown away when Emyr's phone rang so fast.

Emyr asked permission to pick up his phone for a while. "Excuse me a minute."

Dyah and Imran just smiled and nodded. Afterwards, Emyr also slightly away to pick up his phone connection which turned out to be from his secretary.

Done receiving the phone call. Emyr went back to meet Dyah and Malik.

"Master, Miss. Please forgive me for interrupting your time. I cannot continue this conversation even if I want to. I must return immediately to the company, because I have an important guest who I must meet."

Malik and Dyah understood very well. Because people like Emyr must be limited time and also very busy.

"We understand Sir. We also apologize for interrupting your time" Malik said.

"I'm sorry, too, sir. Because last night you were accused of being a bad person."

Emyr smiled at Malik and Dyah. The three of them then say goodbye again before they actually part.

After farewell. Emyr is headed to the company. Malik and Dyah immediately returned home.

Leaving all three of them. We turn to Imran and Linda.

Last night Linda and Imran fulfilled their obligations as a couple for the first time. The first night Linda had been waiting for. Linda was so very happy, because Imran turned out to be a mighty man as she imagined.

Her morning. Every time Imran wakes up, usually coffee or tea is available for him. But this time the wife is still cool to sleep comfortably behind her blanket.

"Linda! Make coffee or tea dong."

Linda answered him with her eyes closed. "Well! Just make it yourself. Linda's still sleepy. Last night we stayed late."

Imran tried to understand. Because they spent the first night almost three in the morning.

Imran finally went into the kitchen and made a drink for himself. While stirring his drink. Imran is Shanum. Although Shanum slept very late, he would still prepare food and drinks for him.

Not to dissolve in his mind. Imran who had finished making coffee immediately passed to the living room to watch television.

I am watching television. Imran heard the mother's voice calling her name and Linda's name.

"Imran here Mom!" yell Imran.

Mu'idah's mother went straight into the living room and saw Imran drinking coffee alone while watching television.

"Where's Linda? And you've had breakfast yet? Ko's been drinking coffee."

"Linda's still sleeping, Mom. Imran hasn't had breakfast."

If Mu'idah's mother used to be sure to denounce Shanum, even though Shanum had given his best to Imran. But now, he just let Linda who is still sleeping.

"Let him sleep. He must be so tired."

Imran just kept quiet and chose to nod slowly to his mother's words.

"What's Mom here for? Didn't you bring food for Imran?"

"Mother is here to ask for money from you and Linda. Where's the money for Mom. I want to shop and buy other things."

Imran can only resign when his mother asks him for money. Imran then gave some of the hundred thousand bills he took from his wallet to his mother.

"Yes Mother!" answer Imran.

After that Mu'idah's mother passed away from Imran's house to immediately shop. While Imran who could not stand the hunger chose to buy food in a stall not far from his home.

Arriving at the shop. Imran accidentally gets along with some of his neighbors.

"Eh Mas Imran! Buy a side dish too Mas?"

"Yes, ma'am" replied Imran.

"Where's the new wife? Ko tumben buy side dishes here?" ask the other neighbor.

"Still asleep," Imran replied honestly.

"Well! Still sleeping! It's eight o'clock in the morning?"

"Eat him! Have a wife sholehah, gentle, obedient and always attention should not be wasted. Now you can even replace a lazy model like that," quipped the other mother.

Imran can only show the face of his feet and can not reply to the words of the mothers.

"Less what Shanum tried. I pray that one day Shanum will have a rich husband, good parents-in-law, and many children" quipped the other mother.

Imran really did not feel at home hearing the innuendo of the mothers for him. Imran chose to go straight away, when the two rice packs he had bought were in his hands.

What these mothers say is true. Imran married Shanum. It could be counted on their fingers buying food outside.

"Dear if you have to buy food outside. Mending his money in the canister. And after all, buying food outside is not necessarily healthy."

Imran suddenly remembered Shanum's words like that.

Arriving at home. Imran immediately opened the door of his house very rudely. He headed straight into the room to wake Linda who was still sleeping.

"Wake up!"

With eyes that are still sleepy. Linda finally tried to wake up. "What the hell is it! I'm still sleepy to know!"

"You haven't been up since. And make breakfast for Mas. Even as sleep. Lookie! Because you! You have to buy breakfast outside and be the neighbor's talk!"

Linda answered while pucking her hair. "Let's just go! They're not the ones who pay for the food anyway."

Like without feeling guilty at all. Linda walks into the bathroom, leaving Imran, who is still angry with her.

Short story. Linda and Imran are having breakfast together.

"Mas! Linda's going to the store."

"What to the store. We're still on vacation for our wedding day."

Linda slightly did not accept Imran's remark. "If Linda does not go to the store, later to be able to meet the needs of Linda and this house how?"

"Linda is not Shanum who must always obey Mas's words!"

"Linda has a job. And I'm sure, Mas's salary is not even more than Linda's income."

After saying that. Linda becomes unafraid to eat again and chooses to go into the room to get ready.

They were married only one day. Already quarreled. It is marriage based on lust, not faith. There is only worldly that they take and leave the true obligations as a couple.

Seeking that windfall includes worship. But there are things more important than work. It's gathering with family. Talk friendly with our halal partner. And exchange ideas or be open to each other with our partners.

Looks like none of that Imran will get with Linda. And the law of karma has started to run slowly for him.
