Hijrah Love Arunika
Chapters 19. Uncovered

After the completion of Maghrib prayer, Aru did not immediately move. He remained until all the santriwati left the mushola. It triggers a big question in the head of Umi who still survives there, until a question slides.

"Is there anything you want to ask, Aru boy?" uti Hafizdah said softly as usual.

Aru smiled and shook her head. "Nothing, Umi. It's just, there's something I want to say. This is about the book lessons that I am working on" explained Aru directly to the core of the problem.

Umi seemed to nod until Aru was sure to continue. "Am I able to finish those two books faster? Anyway, I became a wife. I want to dedicate my life to my husband." Aru spoke clearly without anyone wanting to be covered up.

Umi smiled sweetly. "MasyaAllah. Your intentions are right, son. Alright, Umi will help you finish it quickly. Approximately, how long do you need?" ask Umi Hafidzah to make it easier to set the schedule.

"One month? Is it possible Umi?" Aru himself doubted because the book studied only half of the contents of his book.

"God willing, if you are sure and ready, you can. Umi will help prayer," said Umi happy.

Aru was unable to hide her smile. She was happy because after this she could take care of her husband full time.

After saying goodbye, Aru immediately put on his shoes. I don't know what magnet makes Aru finally look to the right side until he finds the figure of her husband talking to a woman.

Aru found out who the woman was. He is one of the lodge managers in Darussalam pesantren. However, the question Aru is, what is the matter between Dirga and the woman so as to engage in serious conversation.

Not wanting to interfere, Aru chose to wait in front of the mushola with faithful eyes staring at her husband's back. A few minutes later, Dirga left the woman first. Newly, Aru dared to come closer and call her husband's name.

"Mas Dirga!"

The summoned one turned his head and walked closer to Aru. Murat tired of looking to decorate her husband's handsome face. Not to mention, the sleeves of the shirt rolled up to the elbows, indicating that the day passed by her husband is not easy.

Aru greeted her husband and kissed the back of her hand. Aru hopes that her husband will kiss Aru's palm as usual. However, this was not done by Dirga.

Aru let out a slow breath. Perhaps, Dirga was too tired to forget such a small thing. "What's wrong with you, Mom?" asked Aru who now began to hold her husband's arm and walk like dragging a big baby.

Dirga did not answer. He has been faithful in silence since the time he met Aru. It is also unusual to make Aru more astonished and uncomfortable.

"What the hell are you, Mas? Why has it been quiet since?" asked Aru again when he was in the car and sat in the passenger seat beside the steering wheel.

Dirga looked at him with a very difficult look. Then, Dirga's voice next made Aru's heart feel stopped beating that second as well. "When has Yoda always waited ahead?"

Aru swallowed the hard-earned saliva. It was like a big stone was sticking out his throat. "Jawab, Aru!" dirga said with great emphasis.

Aru closed his eyes. Though, Dirga did not snap. Just stressing in every word. However, it felt so painful and hit his heart with a knife.

"A-I t-not-know, Mas," replied Aru stuttering. He was afraid that Dirga would get angry.

Breathing was heard from Dirga. "Do you really not know? Or are you covering something up?" ask Dirga who can already control themselves. He realized that he had made his wife afraid.

He was very afraid if something like this happened. In fact, the fear really did happen. Intentions want to cover up so that Dirga is not angry, but there, all is worse than expected.

Dirga chose to pull over the car on a quiet street. He rubbed his face rough and then said Istighfar several times. He could not bear if his wife met with a former lover who Aru had once loved. Dirga is afraid of losing Aru.

"For God's sake, Mas. I didn't meet him. Instead, I always dodged and chose to wait for Mas in front of the mosque. I just don't want to make Mas misunderstand." Aru tried to explain so that her husband could calm down.

"Do not mention the name of Allah if you are not able to account for your words," Dirga recalled that made Aru more hurt. With that sentence, Aru knew that Dirga had not fully believed.

Aru's crying was getting broken. Maybe this is what the marriage exam means after three months as said by Mr. Penghulu when Aru will marry Dirga. Aru is really going through the test.

"Didn't you trust me? Then, how do I get you to believe?" tanya Aru is trying to lower the ego.

Dirga looked at Aru full of wounds. There was a puddle of water in his eyes. It makes Aru increasingly mired in deep pain. "Mbak Sisil said, you've met him. When my car came, he left and what I saw, you were good at playing a role. It's worth it that you've been daydreaming a lot lately" said Dirga, laughing bitterly.

"Why don't you put a little faith in me, Mom? Actually, whose wife is your wife? Me or Ms Sisil? Why do you trust him more than I do?" tanya Aru is getting more and more excited.

He had to hit his chest so that the tightness that squeezed slightly loosened. Why does it hurt so much? Does Aru love Dirga completely?

Aru covered her face with her palm. Seeing her crying self, did her husband have no intention to calm down? Given this, Aru was crying more and more.

"Are you?" call Dirga after a long silence. After that, Aru felt a warmth encircling his body. Realizing that the culprit was Dirga, Aru grew sobbing in her husband's chest.

"You're evil!" aru chuckled while hitting her husband's arm.

Dirga neither resisted nor dispelled. He was resigned to what Aru would do to him. After Aru's cries subsided, Dirga stretched the distance. He framed the face of the Wife who looked veiled and the hijab worn looked disheveled.

"Why haven't you been honest and said it long ago? I'm sorry for trusting people more than you" Dirga said, apologizing first. He claims to be wrong and seeks to bring down the ego that seeks to destroy his household.

"No, Mas. I'm the one who should apologize for being dishonest from the start. Forgive me .. forgive your ungodly wife ...." Aru grabbed Dirga's hand and kissed her as much as possible. If it is able to abort sin, Aru willing to do all night to.

Dirga chuckled and stopped Aru's ridiculous actions. Aru felt her head lifted gently until now looking up at her husband's face. A single tear escaped the corner of her husband's eye.

And seeing that, his heart was throbbing pain. "Why crying? Please don't cry, "please Aru who is back in tears.

Dirga shook her head and fused her forehead with Aru's forehead. "I'm so scared of losing you. I'm afraid you left me for that man. Remembering how you used to love him so much. In any case, I lost," racau Dirga expressed his fear.

It makes Aru teruhuhuh then immediately hugged her husband tightly. That thing will never happen. "Don't overdo it, Mas. That's not true. I have a heart that is easily fooled. But I have the sense to think logically. You're the best. The man I needed all this time."

The two hugged each other, as if they did not want the minute to pass. The minute that love and affection are poured out.
