Istiqomah Love
Bright spot

Husein stopped by the hospital. Carissa is awake. Hussein sat down beside his sister.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ask Hussein in a soft voice.

"I'm ashamed of you." Follow her sister with a weak voice.

"I've already made a calculation with Ria.And also met Leo this morning." Obviously Husein made Carissa surprised.

"What can I do now, something that can help you? Report police? Or you could move to University if you feel uncomfortable."Obviously Husein felt very guilty to his sister.

"Don't report the police. I don't want reporters to know and make our family's good name tainted."Carissa.

"All right." Husein chose to obey his sister's will. And then the doctor and his two sisters came in. Husein also paid back to his sister first.

While Mr. Pratama sat quietly in the guest room. He looked gloomy, disappointed and embarrassed. Also seen his wife, Bu Lina his wife who sat beside him, with teary eyes. His face looks sad. Husein looks like he just got home. The car sounded roaring. Husein turned off the engine of his car, got out and put his foot into the house.

"Where haven't you been home all night?"Tegur Father.

"Sleep in the office." Husein replied, throwing himself onto a sofa in the guest room. Her clothes and hair look dirty.

"Why sleep in the office?"

"The mind is in a state of turmoil, Pa."

"You think of your women."

Husein fell silent and bowed to the floor, contemplating himself.

"You already know what happened to your sister. Why are you quiet and not taking action?"

"Carissa forbid me Pa."

"Papa doesn't care.Whoever plunges must get his payback."His father said emotion.

"But Pa, I don't want anything else to happen with Carissa." Sahut Hussein.

" This is why you don't listen to Mama's advice." Lina said, sobbing considering the incident that happened to Carissa because of her former lover Husein.

"I'm sorry Husein Ma." Husein replied with a sad feeling.

"Your apologies can't change something that's happened. Try to follow your mother's advice to get married. Surely your sister won't be a victim of Ria's heartache."

"But Ma, Ria is not a good woman Ma, she is not the right woman to make a wife." Husein.

"Then what kind of woman was your choice? Show it to Mama. What kind of woman do you like."

Hussein did not answer. But Zahra's shadow flashed through his mind. If the large family does not attach importance to seedlings, weights and weights to determine prospective partners. That woman I'm gonna show my parents.I thought Husein.

Women like Zahra that Hussein craved. A woman who has a strong, firm, independent and sincere stand on anyone who needs her help. Even He was stoic and patient in the face of the rigors of life.

"Jawab Hussein! What kind of woman do you like? Mama gets tired of seeing your habit of playing with women and after getting bored. You leave it."Her mother said annoyed.

"Patience to Ma."

"Mama is impatient."

Husein was confused, and He got up and went into his room. Seen both parents can only stroke the chest to see it.

"I don't want this problem to get worse. Hussain must marry soon." Said Lina.She did not feel calm if her son was still single.

"But Ma, he hasn't found his future wife."

" I'm going to match him to one of Mama's best friend's daughters."

"Husein is a grown-up Ma, he can determine his own way of life."

"To make his sister what she is today. Anyway Pa, Mama doesn't want to know. Carissa has improved. We're coming to Bu Ati's house. He has a daughter who seems to be a match for Husein." Said Ms. Lina.

Mr. Pratama took a deep breath. He could no longer give an opinion on his wife's wishes. They have known the Ati family for a long time. The family that is. Ati's husband is one of the directors of a mining company. They have two daughters. But Mr. Pratama did not know which daughter would be betrothed to Hussein. He rarely met his own family. He often met his wife. Because of an arisan.

Husein was seen coming out of his room. She's done taking a shower. His clothes look neat, a blue shirt with black pants. Her hair is pomade. He walked while carrying his backpack, which contained his laptop.

"Husein went to the office first Ma." Husein said to his two masters, shaking their hands.Both parents just nodded their heads. And Hussein stepped out of the house. In the car he hastily started the engine of his car. He remembered today a lot of his business in the office. He wanted to see Zahra. The woman who had secretly made him fall in love.

But when I got to the office. Zahra's desk looks empty. There is no sign that that occupies doing something. Because on a clean table.

Where's Zahra?Husein thought as he continued his steps. Employees and employees greeted him. Husein replied to the greeting of his employees and employees with a nod of the head. He kept walking towards his study.

Not long after someone knocked on the door of his room.

"Lake in."

"Good Day, Sir."

"Jiang."

"Zahra is invisible, where?"

"Go home, sir." Rahma answered while putting a stack of documents on the Director's desk.

"Why?" Ask Hussein curiously.

"Since yesterday he was sick. I have suggested for permission today if not healthy right. But then again, he forced himself to go to work."

Husein. This morning he saw the woman he liked.

"What pain?"

"It seems he got in the wind."

Husein became pensive, thinking about the woman he secretly liked being sick.

In a hospital room. Carissa the arrival of a visitor. But Carissa seemed to ignore it.

"Fuckin' Carissa!" Call Leo in a soft voice.

Carissa did not answer. He kept throwing his face away. Carissa's face still looks pale.

"Carissa why did you get this?"

"Go Leo. I don't want mercy from you." Carissa. His eyes are already glazed over. He felt he could no longer hold back his tears.

" Let me be by your side."Leo Pinta.

"For what?"

"You don't want me anymore?"

" Yes, go!"

" Silver!"

Carissa looked up, looking at Leo. A face that was always soothing to him. But not lately.

"Go! I don't deserve you You deserve a better woman than me. Like Ria or something."

"I didn't come here to question others. But fix our relationship." Said Leo.

"What other question? Didn't we break up?"

Leo shook his head.

"Why are you shaking. You yourself want us to break up."

"I'm sorry Carissa. I regret not believing your words. I'm sorry if I hurt your heart."

A clear water slowly flowed from the corner of Carissa's eyes and fell down on her cheeks. Leo took out his handkerchief and wiped it.

"You are innocent. No need to apologize."

" So you want to listen to my explanation, don't you?"

Carissa who looked like she had already lost nodded her head. Leo told me about everything. From her brother who came to see her. Then he himself interrogated Ria over the incident that made Carissa traumatized. Even the hoax stories spread by Ria to avenge her heartache against Hussein. Because there are obviously witnesses.

" Hey?"

" Yes, Hani was at the scene."

"So I intend to report it."

"Don't!"Ban Carissa.

"He must accept punishment."

" No Leo, Let Allah SWT avenge him." Carissa.

Leo was surprised, How noble the woman in front of him is right now. The woman he once doubted was his personality.
