The hand reached for Femila's chin, she stared fixedly at the face and the eyes that held the clear liquid that was contained in her beautiful eye patch. Two fingers of the thumb of the ustadz swept through the dam of tears.
"Sleep." Ustadz Mirza then stroked the head of Femila.
Femila's breathing sounded regular, ustadz Mirza tilted her body at the sleeping Femila.
"I'm sure you're a strong woman. Before, just hear and see Andra from the video call your reaction to silence do not want to talk anything and to anyone. Now, you are more open and stronger. May God protect you from all harm." The ustadz Mirza.
Ustadz Mirza got out of bed, stepped outside and walked into his study.
"Ustadz, haven't slept?" Surprised Habibi.
Ustadz Mirza threw away his rough breathing.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
"There's unfinished work." Answer Habibi.
"Ustadz is still thinking of a non-Femila meeting with lord Andra?" Ask later.
Ustadz Mirza just pulled the corner of her lips.
"Is ustadz jealous? Or be alarmed that Lord Andra took back the goods that were stuck to Ustadz?"
Ustadz Mirza smiled slightly. "Why now I fear sin. Letting a wife back knit love with her ex-lover. Isn't that a sin." Ustadz opened up the contents in his mind.
"Wife, has Ustadz considered her a wife? Or non-Femila consider you a husband? Is not the relationship between ustadz and non-Femila only limited to formality?"
"Marriage is not a formality but I mention the name of God in the pledge. I think my obligations have been fulfilled except the obligation of inner living."
Habibi smiled wryly. "Why don't Ustadz fulfill that one obligation."
"It's about the heart, I can't force it."
"But Ustadz has never tried it?"
"How can I try it, if he talks still love his ex-lover."
"And Ustadz let that happen?"
"Anything for Femila's happiness."
"Ustadz didn't feel that it was the same as plunging Femila into the abyss of sin?"
"I'll control it so that it doesn't happen."
"In what way?"
"Look at it later."
"Why is it so sad about Ustadz's love story? Ckckck. Still mengingan me who is single."
"Your single status is also very sloppy, why should it be bragged." Reply ustadz Mirza.
"I am arrogant because there is something to be boasted about, rather than arrogant but nothing to be boasted about." Habibi chuckles.
"As much as you are Bi, let you be satisfied to laugh at him."
Habibi is still chuckling. Throwing his breath out violently and starting the conversation again seriously .
"After this, will Ustadz hand Femila over to Lord Andra? Six months of living together have none of you shaken their hearts? Or maybe Ustadz started to love her? Or maybe a non-Femila who started to feel empathy or sympathy for Ustadz? Just little. Is it?" Read Habibi.
Ustadz Mirza just smiled in response to a series of questions thrown from Habibi's mouth.
"If Ustadz can't answer all my questions. Just answer one question from me. Ustadz once said that he would try to love Femila after Ustadz married her. Has the effort succeeded?"
Again ustadz Mirza just smiled and took a rough breath.
"The answer is in Ustadz's heart. Don't let Ustadz make the wrong decision." Habibi's Advice.
"My work is done, I want to do it. Assalamualaikum." Reciprocity.
"Waalaikum salam." Lirih Ustadz Mirza escorted Habibi out of the study.
Ustadz Mirza stepped out of her study and into her room.
He looked at the innocent face of his sleeping wife. He tucked it behind the ear of a child whose hair seemed to cover his face. One kiss managed to land on that forehead.
"Have I loved you Fem? This is the question that has been going on in my brain. Being a question that until now has not borne an answer." Inner monologue ustadz Mirza.

Congratulations yes Al...you got a good job 👍👍🤗
One message came in at WA Aliyah. It says the name of the sender, Ma'am Hana.
Aliyah was stuck reading the message. His face immediately looked pale. "What should I write to reply to Hana's message?" His mind is full of questions.
Thank you Ma'am... Actually, it's been a long time I will tell this to Mbak Hana, but I don't know where to start talking. Reply Aliyah.
Why cover up, that's your right. Even if you become his assistant wife ustadz Mirza.
Aliyah repeated the second message from Mbak Hana.
I remain faithful to be a friend of Mbak Hana. Trust me, I'm just trying to work professionally. The writing was successfully sent to Mbak Hana.

"Lake in." Aliyah.
"Cin, looks like we're busy." Cerocos Aufar directly approached Femila's table.
"Hmm." Femila Drone.
Aufar flicked her lips to find a response from Femila.
"Amerit's cocky the Cin..." Sindir Aufar with his style.
"What do you need?" Femila open the sound.
"Call the boss uncit tuh."
"Yes, it's a responsibility."
"Buruan Cin..kayaknya it's the boss again angry big same kamyu."
Femila let out a rough breath then stepped on Aufar.
"How is this Femila! Problems like this alone can't be solved!" Fr Freddy snapped as soon as Femila was sitting in front of her desk.
"I mean Father, trouble..."
"PT Mighty Star!" Cut out Freddy sir.
"I don't want to know! You have to finish today! Tomorrow the transport truck that transports cement is not snaking in the PT Perkasa Bintang project!"
"Yes sir." Femila moved from her seat.
"Eh, where are you going? I'm not done talking!"
"Say you to PT Perkasa Bintang?"
"O yes." A row of teeth appeared from his mouth, nodding his head quickly.
Femila directly sat her ass as soon as she reached her study. His stiff head muscles he massaged slowly. "We went to PT Perkasa Bintang Al." Said later.
"Now Non?" Aliyah was shocked because this order was so sudden.
"You prepared the paperwork."
"Non Good."
After twenty-five minutes they arrived at the office of PT Perkasa Bintang. Femila was still standing in front of the reception desk.
"If something like this is not possible, ma'am, you must make a pact with Mr. Andra."
"You've connected the phone to your master, said Femila Ahmad will see him."
"Femila Ahmed? I know that Non Femila's name is Femila Amore Ibrahim." Inner Aliyah heard the speech of her nona.
"Geez!" Aliyah immediately shut her mouth.
"So Femila Ahmad, Ahmad's last name is ustadz Mirza." Batin Aliyah monologue.
"Why Al?" Femila asked seeing her assistant acting strangely.
Aliyah just shook her head quickly.
"Basic freak." Femila Mumbles.
"Please ma'am, you can come in." Said the receptionist.
"Thank you Ma'am." Reply Aliyah who immediately followed her nonanya who had stepped foot first.
Femila and Aliyah were already sitting in the ceo room. In front of them was also sitting a figure who according to Aliyah looks bored, similar to famous Indonesian actors.
"Obright ex-lover non Femila, pantesan non Femila hard to move on. Ahhhhh if this is how I want to be her lover." Inner Aliyah still with her mouth gaping stared at Andra without blinking.
"Aliyah the document please get it." Remila said trying to be as calm as possible even though her heart was irregular rhythm.
"Aliyah." Femila's elbow nudged Aliyah's body.
"Eh, yes Non, sorry what was that?" Surprised Aliyah from her daydream.
"Documents." Femila's eyes stared intently at Aliyah.
Andra only smiled at the manner of the two women in front of her.
"There are dozens of cement trucks that have been detained because PT Perkasa Bintang postponed the project that was supposed to be continued this week. I want this problem to be resolved quickly. Because PT Perkasa Bintang has agreed to deliver cement." Femila Bright.
"We have to resolve the internal issues first. It may take an extra week. So I hope Miss Femila Ahmad understands that."
deg
Femila Ahmed! The name that Femila nicknamed for her. But when the name is clearly called by Andra why be another meaning for Femila?
