Dear Imamku
The Concerns of Mothers

..."People who always say okay with a smile are the ones who keep the most wounds."...

Aisha sat on the sofa with her head down and Naufal who was on the sofa next to her with a cold face

Since he came home from the hospital, Naufal just kept quiet without saying anything to him and was busy with his cell phone

"Sister," call Aisha

"Hm" said Naufal flat

"Sorry Aish," said Aisha, but Naufal did not answer she just kept quiet while sipping her warm tea

"Sir, don't be guaranteed Aish," said Aisha again with her head down her eyes looking teary

Naufal glanced at his wife from the corner of his eyes he could see that Aisha was holding back her tears

"Aisha can't be guaranteed, sorry" she said again her voice sounded a little shaky from crying

Naufal let out a long sigh he put his phone on the table then fixed his position against Aisha who was still bowing her head

"Lift your head." Naufal said flatly, but Aisha did not raise her head

"Aisha, I said don't look down, look at me" Naufal said

Naufal snorted in annoyance because Aisha never raised her head like she had to do it herself

He raised Aisha's chin so that both of her beads could face his wife directly

The two beautiful eyes were watering from crying somehow Naufal felt his heart ache when he saw Aisha crying

"Is the floor more interesting to you hm?" naufal asked as he looked into Aisha's eyes

Aisha just shook her head slowly but she still hiccupped, "Why cry hm?" ask Naufal

"Ma-af" Aisha said softly even her voice stuck in her throat

"Make what?" naufal asked relaxed yet very sharp

"K-because bua-t ma-rah's sister," replied Aisha brickly

"In sorry." answered Naufal briefly

"Thank you" said Aisha, staring at Naufal

He could feel Naufal's shady gaze, "Sama-sama" replied Naufal

"Don't cry anymore. Ugly." continued Naufal, his hand outstretched rubbing Aisha's head which was still wrapped in hijab for a while and took her phone and went to the room leaving Aisha who was digesting the incident just now

Aisha smothers her own mouth that almost screams happily, then she holds her blushing cheeks

"I'm dreaming again? Or is Naufal's sister sick again?" muttered Aisha slowly

***

The sound of the house bell and the noise made Aisha frown in wonder, he who was preparing breakfast also stopped his activities for a moment

"Who is it?" mummy Aisha

Suddenly Naufal came out of his room and walked down the stairs, "Aish," called Naufal

"Yes Brother?" sahut Aisha

"Who is that? Why is it so noisy outside?" ask Naufal

"I don't know, brother, I'll see first" Naufal nodded and Aisha went to the front door

As soon as Aisha opened the door she was surprised by Fauzan's arrival, "Well Brother Fauzan?" shocked Aisha

"Whenever here?" ask Aisha

"Just playing" replied Fauzan

Aisha bows her head out making Fauzan a little surprised by it

"What's wrong?" ask Fauzan in surprise

"I heard a noise outside, just my sister" said Aisha

"Mdak Aish!!" strangling a child who got out of the car in the other family

"Eh Faras! There's Mommy and Mamah" Aisha's eyes are rounded when she sees her family coming to her apartment

"Assalamualaikum" said Rifa and Layla

"Waalaikumsalam," Aisha kisses the hands of both

"Mother here did not say first, but let Aish go there," said Aisha 

"And let the soupries, Mother's anyways already miss you," Layla said chuckling 

"Who's Sha?!" naufal shouted from inside the house

"There is a Mother with Mamah Sis!" sahut Aisha

Naufal came smiling but suddenly became cold when he saw Fauzan there

"Naufal, you're really kangen with you," said Rifa hugging Naufal tightly

"I also miss my mother" said Naufal

"You are full of drama" said Naufal

"Seriously, you can't live without you" Rifa said

"If I die first?" tanya Naufal made Rifa speechless

"Ah, you have a delay," to Rifa, Naufal only put his shoulder aside and he would say what it was if it had happened

"Udah come on in," said Aisha making them all nod and enter the apartment

"But Aish made some water first" said Aisha, then went to the kitchen to make a drink

"Naufal how was your wedding? All right, all right?" tanya Rifa and Layla simultaneously made Naufal turn to the two

Rifa and Layla chuckled softly, "Good." replied Naufal but both were dissatisfied with the answer Naufal gave

Shortly after, Aisha returned from the kitchen with a tray on top of which was a glass filled with drinks

"Mak Azki didn't come with Bun?" ask Aisha while putting her drink on the table

"No, Faris was sick and couldn't come" Layla and Aisha replied

"If Azmi's brother?" ask Aisha

"Ah, he can be busy in the boutique" Layla said

"Behold, Naufal went up first" said Naufal, then departed from there

Aisha stared at Naufal's back at a glance and then she looked back at her Mother honestly she felt longed for her Mother even though she had just moved a few days away from home still she missed

"Oh yes, Mommy and Mom can know where Aish lives?" ask Aisha curious

"Actually Mommy does not know, so this morning before here Fauzan the same in-laws you had time to go to the house ngajak Mommy play to your house, yaudah mother yesin uh know this little child ngikut same Mother," explained Layla with a chuckle

"Ihh Oma" annoyed Faras who felt himself being talked about

"So, did Fauzan bring it here?" aisha asked Fauzan and the young man nodded, saying "But I told her I was playing at home"

"No papa the times I invited Mama with Aunt Layla to play at home you can, right" said Fauzan

"Well," Aisha chuckled her eyes slightly narrowed making Fauzan smile thinly and it turned out that some realized it even had his hands clenched tightly

"Mother has breakfast yet?" asked Aisha to make the two spontaneously nod but if you nawarin we will have breakfast again," Layla said with a chuckle as well as Rifa

"Yaudah come on Aisha just finished cooking just now when you came here," said Aisha

"Sir Fauzan also came along, yes" said Aisha making Fauzan nod

They all went to the dining table while Aisha prepared additional dishes, "Bentar ya Bun, Aisha called Kak Naufal first," said Aisha who was about to walk up the stairs

"Mr Aisha! Falas came along," said Faras, making Aisha laugh slowly and stretching out her arms, and Faras ran into Aisha's arms

The two of them walked up the stairs to the room to call Naufal

Aisha opened the door without knocking and found Naufal staring at her phone making Aisha grumble slowly

"Actually his wife's cell phone or me anyway? The feeling of time is more the same as mobile phones," murmured Aisha slowly

Though Naufal's ears were slow, he listened to all the words, but he did not understand them

"You what?" ask Naufal

"The other mother wants to eat breakfast together" said Aisha

"Hm." After that Aisha went from there and went down with Faras because Naufal would be coming soon

They had breakfast together, including Fauzan and Naufal

Fauzan secretly glanced at Aisha who was beside Naufal and it did not escape Naufal's sight and made him upset

She shifts her chair closer to Aisha and resumes her eating, which leads Aisha to look at her in wonder and then refocus on the rice on her plate 

"Naufal you're not the same as Aisha? You don't have Aisha, do you? Don't make him cry, do you?" tanya Rifa made Naufal stop scooping his rice

He was silent that made Aisha who was next to him realize, Aisha then looked at Rifa with a smile

"Sir Naufal never made me cry Mah, just calm down if Kak Naufal makes me cry I will say with Mamah yes," said Aisha made Rifa nod and smile

"Let's hit Mama okay?" Aisha gave her thumbs up

Done Eating Aisha and her Mother doing the dishes while Rifa accompanied Faras in front with Fauzan and Naufal

"Oiya Mommy wants one thing for you" Layla said suddenly

"What do you want?" ask Aisha wonder

"Are you the same Naufal all right?" tanya Layla and Aisha fell silent

"Mother will see me with Sister Naufal all right, even we are always happy," replied Aisha lying she was forced because she did not want to make her parents worried about her condition

"You didn't lie, did you? Honestly, your mother will not be angry, since you moved mother so worried about you," said Layla

"Mother don't worry, I'm just as good as Naufal's" Aisha replied with a smile

"While the circumstances are different from what happened," Aisha's inner
