Insaf Casanova
CI 23 - The Project to Win the Heart of the Wife Begins

Adit and Lia are equally fascinated with each other. But both of them covered their faces by returning to calm. Just this time Adit was in a room alone with a woman but he had no desire to make love. Usually nafs*nya will smolder when alone with women.

" Maybe the halal is much more soothing than the haram" Adit murmured in his heart.

Adit also felt the atmosphere of Lia's room was very much different from his room. A sense of calm and comfort so felt.

" Is the mas ready to pray."

Adit nodded, he was the type of person who quickly learned so he had no trouble recalling the prayer reading he had once learned. Adit, once by his father was also invited to carry out religious obligations. But the dispute between his parents even made Adit far from his religion.

" Lia. let me pray repent first. There are many sins I have committed. And you must know that."

Lia smiled then nodded there was a sense of disbelief in Lia's heart with Adit's rapid change. But Lia brushed all that aside. He tried to convince himself that Adit might be trying to change. And so Lia as a wife should help Adit to get back on his path.

Adit conducts prayers repentance 2 rakaat. Then he was ready to become the priest of Lia.

The sound of takbir flowed beautifully from Adit's lips. Lia was glued for a moment when she heard it. She did not expect Adit's voice to be so beautiful. They also completed the 3 rakaat without any reproach. Although Adit is still laid out, it is very good for someone who has long abandoned his religious obligations.

Now they both sit on their own prayer mats. Lia grabs Adit's hand and kisses him. Again and again Adit was touched by Lia's treatment. Adit also ventured to kiss Lia's forehead. There was an incredible vibe that touched his heart.

" Yes Allaah... Is this what it feels like to be with a halal partner? There was a calming feeling in the heart" Adit muttered inwardly

" She. I'm sorry if…"

Lia lowered her head, she felt really confused as to how it should be at this moment.

" Don't continue. You understand I told you. I'll be waiting for you. We married not out of love but I sure chose you. We learn to accept each other. And help me to be a good priest and husband to you."

" Thank you and I'm sorry that you don't feel anything about you at the moment. My race is still just me respecting you as my superior. And now growing to respect you as my husband. Yes mas... Let's learn to accept each other."

" It doesn't matter. I know in your heart you still have doubts about me. Let alone the casanova label attached to me."

" Sorry…."

Lia feels bad. She knew her duty as a wife but in the depths of her heart she was not ready. He was still afraid, even afraid.

As for Adit, he felt this was the punishment Allaah had given him. If yesterday he was free to touch every woman now there is a halal woman in front of him but he has not been able to touch and he achieved. He was determined to win Lia's heart first. He knew his wife did not love him. Never mind love, maybe love oun yet. Starting tonight maybe Adit will start carrying out the project of winning the heart of the wife.

Lia was still very doubtful towards Adit. This he can know when Lia took off her face and it turns out that behind her face Lia still wears her hijab.

Adit smiled wryly. If before his wild eyes could see the body of a woman without a thread was now he could only see the face of the body part of the wife. But Adit does not protest, he will accept everything. Adit had promised to wait for Lia, until his wife was ready.

He felt this was the beginning of his struggle to get love from his wife. 

Now they both sit in bed. But Adit immediately stood up and asked Lia where the mat and blanket were. He was surprised by Adit's question.

" What do you ask mats for?"

" To sleep. I'll sleep downstairs."

" Astagfirullaah mas.I don't let you sleep on the floor. Sleep in bed."

Adit was a little surprised by Lia's remark but he was glad at least Lia didn't let him sleep on the floor.

" Sleep here and go to mom's room."

Adit gawks at Lia coming out of her room. Adit felt like he was being flown up into the sky and thrown down on earth very hard.

"Huf…. Patience patience. The test of people who want to be treated is heavy. All right. Time to go to bed. The first night that was apes and cold only accompanied by pillows and bolsters."

Adit monologues expel his loneliness. He immediately broke down his body that felt tired. What is an old hose he fell asleep lulled by the night.

Tok.dok….

"  Mum... Can Lia come in?"

" Come in, son."

Widya furrowed her eyebrows watching her daughter go into her room. On the night of her bride Lia chooses to go to her mother's room.

"Haish." Widya murmured full of astonishment.

Look sitting next to his mother. He leaned his head on her shoulder and let out his breath slowly.

" What's up, what are you thinking hmmm? Why are you here and leaving your husband alone in the room?"

" Mr. Lia is still not ready to be Adit's wife."

Widya smiled, she knew very well Lia was so lay about the relationship of men and women. Lia has never had a boyfriend. Lia ya Adit's first boyfriend who is her husband now.

" What does Lia know about marriage?"

" You mean mother?"

" What do you think marriage is?"

" Marriage is the union of two people in a sacred bond with a promise in front of Allaah. Married because of Allaah. Together together shoulder to shoulder in married life. Trust each other, understand each other."

" So….??"

Lia got up from her mother's side, she kissed her cheek and left the room. Widya smiled at her daughter's behavior. She has a lot to learn about male and female relationships. The girl was so innocent that she did not even know love. He has always focused on learning and learning.

Chequelek

Lia opened her room door slowly. He saw Adit who seemed to have fallen asleep in his bed. He closed the door and walked closer. He looked at Adit's tired face.

" I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for you. My heart is still very doubtful and fearful. Help me, help me be your good wife and help me love you."

Lia confirmed Adit's blanket, then he went up to the bed and slept next to Adit. Not long after Lia slept. His breathing began to stretch. Adit opened his eyes. Actually, he had not slept. He even heard Lia open the door of his room.

" I'm sorry Lia, you have to get a jerk like me. I'm the one who needs your help to be a good priest. Protect me from my passions and desires, for I want only you to have me completely."

The two now sleep together. First night bride who is not like most people. The bride's night became a night of introspection and a witness to Adit's conversion. Their marriage was not based on love. But in the deepest hearts both hope this marriage will bring their love towards the love of their Lord.
