Duda Vs Son Virgin
#Asiah Nurul Basil
"Zulaikha's. Where did you come from these nights just coming home from school?" joseph asked so much to look at the girl in a white-gray uniform.
"There's a tutoring schedule, Om. Take it easy, I don't like the obscure wandering here and there is no benefit," replied Zulaikha while putting on a coquettish and seductive face.
"Good then! You're not out at night anymore, are you with your friends?" joseph asked with a full gaze.
"No dong, Om. He said virgins should not wander at night. Especially to places that have a lot of interest," answered Zulaikha because he remembered with a speech that Joseph often said to him. Joseph nodded and gave a thumbs up to his neighbor.
"Whose child is this?" zulaikha asked as she looked at Asiah with eyes full of twinkle.
"This is my son, Asiah. Honey, greet brother Zulaikha!" joseph's word to his daughter.
"Assalammualaikum, Brother. Meet me, Asiah Nurul Basilah. Daughter of Father, Yusuf Maulana Basilah and Mother, Aisha Nurul Huda. Age three knows ten months, has a hobby of eating chocolate and ice cream. But, you can only eat once a week." Asiah knows himself with confidence.
Zulaikha stared in admiration at Asiah, but his smile then disappeared. He looked at Joseph with a look of disbelief.
"So, do you really have a wife and children?" zulaikha asked with a look of injured eyes and started to dew.
Not yet Yusuf answered, the elevator door opened. Joseph answered only briefly from Zulaicha's question. Because, he and Asiah had to quickly enter the apartment to perform Magrib prayers that soon would run out of time.
Tears escaped from Zulaikha's eyes. The man who has been his target for the past year has become someone else's. In the past, he did not believe when Joseph said he had a son and a wife. Even to show her pictures too. But he still does not believe. The handsome face of Joseph who was like a young man, often mistaken for a student.

After the Magrib Prayer and continued with the Isya Prayer. Joseph makes food for dinner with Asiah. Usually he only makes boiled noodles plus cow's eye eggs, for dinner in an emergency.
"Darling, what's dinner like?" joseph asked his daughter.
"Egg heart and rabbit rice," Asiah replied cheerfully as he swung both of his legs on the dining table chair.
Joseph had to rack his brain in order to understand the meaning of his son's words. However, he had yet to understand the meaning of liver egg and rabbit rice. Because, all he knows is 'cat ego' and 'cow's eye egg or omelet.'
"Darling, what kind of heart egg is that? Father had never tried it" asked Joseph giving up not understanding the meaning of his daughter's words.
Asiah pursed her lips and spoke, "Dad doesn't know what a heart egg is? Mother often made it for me."
Asiah's eyes started to glaze over and her lips trembled. He looked at Joseph with disappointment.
Stared like that by Asiah, Joseph's heart felt severed. Usually the clear netra looks a typical joke nosy children. He got confused how?
"Asiah wants to tell Dad how to make a heart egg like Mother made" said Yusuf trying to persuade his son not to cry.
Asiah nodded her head. Then he said, "Mother take a heart-shaped egg print and store it on a hot teflon. Put the eggs in the mold. Tara! The eggs if they have been formed stay reversed so that the cooking is evenly distributed. So Mother said, if you are making eggs heart."
Joseph listened carefully to Asiah's words. 'So, the eggs were printed with prints?' inner Joseph.
'Don't, rabbit rice is also rice formed with rice molds, ' Yusuf said in his heart.
"Darling, 'cause I don't have egg prints and rice prints. Now it's gonna make cow's eye eggs and hill rice." Joseph tried to seduce Asiah.
However, his daughter still scrunched up her face. Joseph also twisted his brain so that Asiah was not sad anymore.
"How about tomorrow we go shopping, we buy an egg print and put the rice down" Yusuf told his daughter.
Asiah replied with a nod and smiled happily.
"So, we have dinner with rice and eggs in the eyes of a cow today" said Yusuf and was adopted by Asiah.

"Come, here's bobo, baby!" take Joseph to Asiah.
Asiah frowned until her brows almost fused together. Not to forget the little red lips pursed.
"Dad, we haven't brushed our teeth. Mother said after dinner and before going to bed should brush your teeth. To get the mousers to escape!" asiah said and it made Joseph gawk because he forgot and did not expect his daughter to talk like that. He is the one reminded by his son. Usually other children are always ordered first by their parents.
"Sorry, Honey. Father forgot. Come on, let's brush our teeth first so we don't get a toothache!" Joseph led Asiah to the bathroom.
Again while in the bathroom Joseph got a loud speech that struck his heart from Asiah. After the toothbrush, he was about to lead his daughter to not fall into a slip.
"Dad, we haven't wudhu." Asiah drew the hand held by Joseph.
The deg!
Joseph's heart felt pinched by the words of his little daughter.
"Mother says we must ablution if we want to sleep, to be looked after by angels!" Asiah refused when Joseph took her out of the bathroom.
"Come, wudhu first! Then help me wudhu," Asiah's pinta.
Yusuf wudhu then helped Asiah wudhu. In his heart, Joseph was pleased with the development of Asiah who was easy to understand and learn something.
'Aisha you are really good at educating our daughter to this extent. Will I be able to educate him?' inner Joseph.

Joseph was confused as to what story? Because there are no fairy tale books there. Asiah looked at his father's face with clear eyes, making anyone who saw him will be fascinated.
"Why, Dad?" asiah was still looking at Joseph.
"What is confused dad want to tell you?" yusuf replied with a grimacing smile of embarrassment.
"Just tell me what you know" continued Asiah.
Finally, Joseph also told about peacocks who were arrogant because they had beautiful feathers. Fortunately Asiah did not protest or interject perhaps out of exhaustion.
"Dad, I'm already sleepy," Asiah said as he hugged the bolster.
"Pray first, dear. So that his sleep is not a nightmare!" yusuf.
"And so that his sleep is not disturbed by demons, yes, Dad!" asiah continued, and she read the prayer before going to bed.
Joseph stroked his little daughter's hair. He did not expect that 5 days ago was the last day he slept three with his wife. In fact, they are also planning a 2nd child because two months later Asiah is even 4 years old.
"Aisha, will I be able to raise Asiah, as you are in raising our daughter" Joseph muttered in tears. Just one day in his wife's residence he had felt longing for the figure of the sholeha woman.
