Dawn for Laila
Chapter 8: the book of Kahlil Gibran

"Yes already, Mom! Laila go to the room first. Not good with Mbak Ratna, it will be a slander," Pamit Laila while embracing the Koran he brought. The girl lowered her head and immediately left Fajar who was still stunned to see her sister-in-law who was so Solihah.

"Laila's a good girl, but darling the love story is so sad. Less what she is, already beautiful, pinter naji, close aurat, soft. But Agung even left him. Hmm may Laila get the best mate and can be a good priest for her, if only Ratna could be like her sister. Right said Mama .. uh what the hell am I! Why also compare Laila and Ratna, they have their own advantages,"

Fajar smiled when he saw Laila who was going to his room, inexplicably he felt happy to see Laila's appearance that looked simple but so showed the elegant Muslim identity.

"I don't know why I'm so happy to see Laila, Astaghfirullahal adzim! Remember Fajr you already have a wife," murmured Fajar as he went to his room.

Next day. Dawn tried to behave as usual to his wife. He did not want to rush to find out what secrets Ratna was hiding. Because Ratna always refused Dawn to do her duty.

As usual, the morning before the activity. They were at a table for breakfast, Ratna suddenly said to her husband. "Mas! I asked for a duwit of five million, today I want to shop for clothes and also skincare, yes, Mas! You see today my friends are sure I hangout, bete at home continue," whined Ratna who pretended to go with her friends, even though she wanted to meet with Agung.

"It's not that I don't allow you, I can give you the money, but if you go with your friends, I object. I can drive you out to buy clothes and cosmetics." The words of Dawn were apparently unacceptable to Ratna.

"So, you didn't want me to go with my friends, Mas? Bad you, they have long wanted to go with me, Mas. Since I married, I have never gone with friends, you as a husband must understand his wife dong. I need some entertainment too, Mom! I can't stay home, you know!" ratna protests.

Seeing her sister boldly say in a high tone to her husband, Laila tried to remind her to be respectful and speak softly.

"Astaghfirullah Ratna! Can't say that, Mother! Sorry brother. Mrs Ratna should be respectful to Mas Fajar. Remember the message of the late father first, if later we are a wife, we are forbidden to speak in a high tone to our husband," said Laila who made Ratna become angry.

"No need to interfere in business, Ma'am. It's both our business, or maybe you secretly like your husband?" sahut Ratna who actually makes Laila inexhaustible.

"Astaghfirullah, Ratna! Watch what you say, Laila this is your sister, she just reminds you. You just accused him of being reckless!" sahut Fajar defended Laila. Not accepting the husband more defending his sister, Ratna was emotional and immediately left the two of them.

"Ratna, wait! Where are you going?" Dawn is seen chasing after his wife and trying to stop Ratna from leaving.

"Where are you going?" exhorting Dawn while holding Ratna's hand.

"Let go, Mom! I'm bored at home, I want to go with friends, every day I wait for you to come home from work, tired of knowing!" Ratna kept forcing me to leave. Dawn that can not control his emotions, he forced Ratna to go back into the house.

"Back you! You've been brave with your husband!" Dawn said a little sternly. Sontak Ratna also began to think that if Dawn was angry, it would affect her status.

"Damn it! Today I failed to meet Agung, I had to obey Mas Dawn's request, otherwise he could be suspicious!"

Ratna also began to pretend to apologize by beginning her cultural cry. Of course Fajar did not have the heart to see a woman let alone his wife crying. He tried to calm Ratna. But Ratna ran straight into the room.

Ratna ran past the sister who was standing and said something to Laila, "Now satisfied you! If anything happens to my household, you'll never see your sister again, Laila!" he said before going to the room.

Fajar did not want to face this situation too long, he immediately went to the office and told some servants to monitor his wife. While Laila just looked at me sayu the departure of the sister-in-law.

In the evening, as usual Fajar came home with the cold face of the wife, saw the face of the wife who was moody, with ease Fajar seduced her by giving money to Ratna.

"That's enough?" exclaim Fajar while giving a few mops of money hundreds of thousands of rupiah.

"Well, thank you very much, Mom! You are indeed an understanding man," praised Ratna while keeping the money given by Dawn in her bag. After that Fajar also gave a code to Ratna to ask for her rights as a husband.

Again, Ratna rejected him for various reasons. Of course for a man, rejection is so painful, especially he has been almost two weeks married to Ratna.

"I'm so tired, Mom! Tomorrow, yes! There is still plenty of time for us, patience! You will definitely get it" said Ratna, who forced Dawn to get out of her bed.

He decided to go out of the room to find a quieter atmosphere. That night the clock still showed at nine o'clock in the evening. Dawn walked towards the middle room, it turned out that there was Laila who was reading something seriously.

"What's Laila doing there!" thought Fajr as he walked over to Laila who was reading a book by Kahlil Gibran. Of course, Dawn is very familiar with book covers, where she also really likes books by Kahlil Gibran and often read them in free time.

"Angel Gibran! Do you like the books too?" tanya Dawn suddenly made Laila aghast.

"Eh Mas Dawn! Hehehe yes ... I love all his work, it's very touching and there are many lessons learned" Laila said. Until finally heard a sentence spoken from the lips of the brother-in-law. "Women who are endowed with the beauty of body and soul is a real truth that we can understand with love, and we can only touch with holiness."

For a moment Laila was stunned that her sister-in-law had the same hobby of reading a book by poet Kahlil Gibran.

"Mas Dawn also liked the works of Kahlil Gibran?" asked Laila who did not expect that her sister-in-law had the same hobby.

"Of course, whenever I have time I always take the time to read it. We have a lot in common, yes! It's a pity that you're not a match for me" Fajar's spontaneous speech caused Laila to panic.

"Eh .. That's not the concept, Mas! Mas Dawn is destined to be the husband of Mbak Ratna, and we cannot fight the destiny that has been outlined by Allah SWT. Just like when I broke up from Mas Agung, all of our plans for marriage failed already! Hmm maybe we are destined not to be a match," said Laila who made Dawn became curious.

"If you may know, why did you break up?" ask seriously. Somehow this time he was interested in talking about his sister-in-law rather than thinking about his problems with Ratna.

"Oh God! Should I say it? Somehow I felt nervous when I was near Mas Fajar. Oh God! Is there something wrong with this feeling? We shouldn't be this close" Laila said in her heart.
