Honor Behind the Stain
Recollecting
The emperor threw his body into the bed. Close your eyes, enjoy the soft pillow massage that seems to invite him to sleepy and quickly sleep. But somehow he had trouble falling asleep. Eyes closed but unable to drift into dreamland.
In a state of closed eyes, the Emperor suddenly remembered Khanza. Remembering when the woman lived with him, they had officially become a couple, but they did not realize it. Until the Emperor like seeing unclean objects when he saw Khanza in a state of half undressed alias only wearing a towel. It was as if he was seeing something that was haram to look at.
The Emperor was surprised to see Khanza wearing only a towel coil on his body, and a triangular object that had fallen on the bathroom floor made the Emperor smile involuntarily, actually the Emperor at that time was halal to look at Khanza under any circumstances. It's just that the Emperor even thought like seeing unclean goods because he thought the unique scenery was haram to see.
Then the Emperor remembered the incident when Khanza fell on the Emperor's body yesterday, they were very close at that time, even Khanza's lips had touched something right. In that close position, the Emperor stared at Khanza's face close at once.
Again the corner of the Emperor's lips was interested in reminiscing about it. There are many stories that have happened in a short time together with Khanza. And when it came to his lips in a state of wide smile, the Emperor immediately patted his cheeks firmly, resuscitating himself.
The woman was no longer in the office. It must have been personal matters that led Khanza to resign.
The emperor left the bed, he returned to perform the prayers of istikharah. This is the third prayer after two consecutive prayers with the same purpose.
Just as he was prostrating, he saw Khanza's face. That face…
Allah Akbar.
The emperor read the takbir and then sat down.
The request of the Emperor to God is to ask for guidance on who is a man made by God who is good according to God to be his wife. All his wishes and requests were passionately conveyed to God.
Strange, the heart of the Emperor why lead to Khanza? He felt sorry for being angry at Khanza. Even to the point of Khanza. His heart was filled with Khanza. Actually he had been very comfortable all this time, but that comfort was covered by a situation that was difficult to explain. The Emperor was not aware of the comfort. Only now did he realize there was comfort after Khanza left.
Khanza is not a good woman. He's bar-bar. He had wounded the Emperor with all his words and manner, but there was a way that God had opened for the Emperor along with Khanza. Would the Emperor refuse?

“Good. I will send.”
Driving the car, the Emperor headed to the rented house that Khanza lived in. It was there that Khanza lived while working in the Emperor's company. And the woman worked only for a short time.
“Khanza!” the Emperor knocked on the door.
A few minutes waiting, there was no reply after the Emperor called Khanza's name several times.
Has Khanza left?
Ah, why did the Emperor so wish to meet with the Khanza like this? What was the Emperor expecting? Why does he feel so much harder on Khanza? Why does hope appear in this woman? what to expect from Khanza? He is not like Jihan who can show personality and good manners.
I don't know, the Emperor just followed his heart. He himself hesitated to explain it.
The door of the house is locked. Sepi has no inhabitants. Khanza is not at home.
The emperor stepped into the house next door. “Bu, the person who contracted in the house where ya?” ask the emperor to a neighbor who is none other than the owner of the contract.
“This key has been handed to me. She went. Money is paid upfront. I told you not to give me the key. The house can still be used. But he said he did not return to the contract.”
“Oh. well, thanks, Mom. Excuse me.” The emperor went away.
