Heaven In The Eye Pelupuk
The Woman is Like a Flower

..."Women are like flowers, they should be treated gently, kindly, and affectionately."...

..._Ali bin Abi Thalib...

Asholatu Khairum Minannaum's.

The girl with her closed petals slowly blinked her eyes, the sound of the mosque toa not far from her house kept Aida awake from her sleep. He rubbed both of his eyelids, neutralizing the still blurry vision. For a moment, he remembered something.

"Mas Bima." He moved, passed away with a small run towards his room. The door of the room that was still tightly closed was opened violently. His attenuation was scouting, stripping every corner of the room.

Silent. The sounds of crickets and small insects rule the room. What he was looking for he did not get. Yeah, Aida didn't find the guy. Ah, did Gus Bima not come home all night? If not, where does the man go?

"Mas-Mas Bima." With a light and slow step, Aida looked for Gus Bima, her neutrals unceasingly staring around. A second later, Aida bit her fingers. Right, that's what he did when the anxiety came over.

Suddenly, Aida's body suddenly limp. His knees were numb, his heart was racing fast, his chest was tight and his breathing was starting to get irregular. His mind began to fall apart, going around thinking about things that were not expected.

"Mas Bima ...."

"Dad." That baritone voice?

The girl with tears that had been lapping on her cheeks turned a rough look at the source of the voice. He gasped when a familiar voice called his asthma. Aida froze, petrified for a few minutes. The net never crept and his mouth was slightly agape. The man with wet hair and a towel on his arm stopped Aida's blood flow for a moment. That guy? No, he started to fall. Before long the sound of sobs sounded obvious.

Aida ran over to Gus Bima which is now not far from the bed where she sat. He hugged the burly body of Gus Bima, clutching it tightly like he did not want to lose the man even for a moment.

"Where have you been, Mom? Aida waited all night, but Mas Bima never came home?" The hoarse voice he could not hide anymore. Aida's cry broke, Gus Bima could only sculpt. Then, the man dropped the towel he was carrying and returned the hug.

"Ma-sorry, Aida. I slept outside last night. I came home too late at night. Worried about disturbing your sleep, I couldn't bear to knock on the door. That's why I sleep at the door." Suddenly Aida let go of the hug. Netra they look at each other.

"really? Last night, Aida waited for Mas Bima behind the door, because she was too sleepy, Aida so .. overslept." Freeze. They're snitch each other. In the same second, when Gus Bima did not blink his eyes looking at Aida, the girl again blushed.

"Aida, Bima hurry up you guys get ready, today we will-" Umi Salamah stopped her activity when she accidentally saw her son-in-law who was blushing. I don't know, he doesn't know. However, Umi Salamah immediately turned her back, deciding to wait in the living room. He smiled a little at the behavior of the two of them. In each prayer, he hoped that this match would last. In fact, until death did separate.

Aida decided unilaterally, she turned her back in a finger-position that held each other's feet and squeezed. Gus Bima patted the eel slowly and tidied the istighfar. How could he forget to tell his wife if today he and his family will visit Kyai Musthofa. Would the girl be angry if told suddenly like this? Hopefully not. Gus Bima sighed deeply, exhaling slowly. With all the courage gathered, the man finally said it.

"H, Aida. I want to tell ... something." The end of the sentence is hung. The girl glanced over from the end of her net. Yes, it does not move even if it just reverses the body.

"Sa-I forgot to tell you if today there is a visit to Kyai Musthofa ndalem, Hamida's building." Telak. His eyes are perfectly round. Today then? No way! The girl turned around and looked at Gus Bima with slightly widened eyes.

"Now? This half, Mas? Aida invited?" Gus Bima lowered his head, in the same second he nodded languidly.

Before continuing her words, Aida let out a heavy sigh. His gaze suddenly lethargic and withered. "Why is it so sudden, Mom? Aida's not ready, shower and groom-"

"If you don't want to come, stay home. If you are not ready, please prepare first. If so, you can catch up with us. You are not the queen, we have no right to wait for you. You are here a guest, wife and daughter-in-law of the owner of a famous boarding school. No words but to string together a thousand reasons. We don't take it." The girl with a flat gaze, both hands crossed on her chest slashed out at lightning speed.

"Five minutes, Hamida. Give him five minutes to get ready. It's purely my fault, I forgot to tell him." The girl rolled a puffed-up eyeball. Before long, without a word the girl passed away with an irritated snort from her pink lips.

"Too often defend."

Aida wiped her tears as the man turned back to look at her. "There's no need to hide these tears, Aida. This liquid is too precious to get out of your pellet." The man rubbed a clear trace on his dripping cheek without excuse.

"It's okay, Mom. What Hamida said is true. I just ... guest." Aida erased her tracks while laughing slantingly.

"Aida-"

The girl took a few steps back as Gus Bima stepped forward to approach her. "I'll be ready, five minutes."

Endlessly destroyed, he knew that this marriage was just a mere matchmaking from both parties parents without any love. There may be, but clap one hand. The unrequited love.

"Where is Aida?" whispered Umi Salamah to Gus Bima. The man looked back, after which looked at his usual shady face with a head shake.

"Look, umi's afraid something's going on with your wife!" Gus Bima nodded. He obeyed his ummah. But ....

A girl with a long, legs, khimar matching and thin powder that makes her more beautiful out of a room that is located at the end of the room. Gus Bima was fixated, without realizing his lips revealed a knotty smile.

"Sorry .. So wait a long time." Umi Salamah turned to the source of the voice, as well as the others. The woman crossed her hands back. His eyes seemed ready to pounce. O God, protect Aida from the hungry tigress.

"It's still a good thing not to be left." He grumbled making Abi Nur glance.

"That's it, let's go. Surely Kyai Musthofa has been waiting for us," he said breaking the atmosphere.

Gus Bima stuck out a palm in front of Aida who never raised his head. The girl simply stared at him with nanar, letting her husband's palm float in the air.

"Come." His head shook along with the ending of the sentence that came out of his sweet lips.

Shaking and hesitating, Aida grabbed him. The girl clasped her husband's palm tightly. No, actually Aida is embarrassed, the proof is now that round cheeks blush even though they do not use blush.

"You look so pretty, Humaira." Telak. Aida looked up, like she was electrocuted. That sentence could melt his heart. Really, is she so pretty? Ah, I think he wants to mess up. Instead, a few seconds ago he felt that he was very shabby and ugly.

"No need to worry Aida, Kyai Musthofa and Bu Nyai are very good. They're the ones who invited you to this banquet." Aida looked at her husband's net twinkle. After a few minutes later, he nodded and again chose a deep bow. First held by Gus Bima made his heart unbecoming. Divine, it feels like this knee is about to collapse.

"But Hamida ...." He did not finish his neatly-strung sentence.

"Here you go, don't think too much. There's me. Did you forget that I was your shield Humaira?" Aida smiled obliquely. It felt like he wanted to sink his face into Gus Bima's chest.

"Mas ... already!" Gus Bima laughed seeing his wife blush in embarrassment. The man loved to see his wife's cheeks turn like a boiled crab.

"Ec ... Mas Bima," he whispered after a few seconds decided to silence by walking to align the body. The man shifted his attention.

"Today ... Bima is so handsome." Gus Bima rounded his eyes, in the same second he choked making Aida worried.

"Mas."

"Five."

"Bima's okay Umi, just choking on spit." No. gabe. The man lied. It wasn't spit that made him choke. However, a sweet compliment from Aida who was able to make her saliva choked in the throat.

They continued their steps towards the car. While Gus Bima pinched the small waist Aida. The girl grimaced in pain, stood some distance away from him and frowned.

"It hurts, Mom." The man laughed crisply. It seemed like he was very happy to see the look on Aida's face. The girl pursed her lips, advancing two inches from usual.

As he continued, the man grabbed both ears, a sign of apology. She put on a parched face making Aida can't stay angry with her husband for too long.

"My wife if her anger subsides is very pretty."

"The Milky Way tumben happens gently to me?" Telak. The girl cursed herself. How could he ask such a question. Aida squeezes the edges of her gamis stitches. Shame, what a shame.

Noticing the change in Aida's face, the man embraced and stroked her shoulders. "Women are like flowers, they should be treated gently, kindly, and affectionately." After that Gus Bima dropped his hand and walked over quickly, leaving Aida still glued to the spot.
