Light For Gus Mu
Chapter 57: Expelled

This morning was Moses' first morning at his wife's house. He looked awkward, only speaking when asked, he was indeed quiet and shy. Everyone is having breakfast at this time, lesehan and mat in the living room. Shafiyah and Wafi glanced at each other, Raihanah asked her daughter-in-law to sit next to her.

”You are om?” ask Afsheen to Noah.

”Iya, can.” Noah assented and thrust his plate. Afsheen put the side dishes back on her uncle's plate.” Wafi, you work really yes,” he said and Wafi turned his head.

”Iya om.” Wafi.

”Where? everyone respects you, right?” Noah smiled, and wished everyone in the office to be nice to his nephew.

”Yes, don't worry, they're all good. I just don't understand much, especially to explain in front of important people in a meeting, shaking. Fear of wrong." Wafi expressed all his discomfort, not all. There's something else too that's bothering her so much, everyone in the office already knows about her past, her case, and her current ex-convict. A lot of people cheated on him, and insulted him behind his back. Two-faced employees are increasingly popping up, just to get closer to being able to move up.

”Patience, there is no easy job. Everyone is tired, stress.” Raihanah chimed in and Wafi nodded with a smile.

”Ber what umi you say, later also get used to,” said Noah and Wafi silently. Noah's gaze now turned to Raihanah.” Rai, I'm home tomorrow.”

”Cepet really, a few more days here." Tympano Afsheen.

”We have been here a long time, a lot of work,” said Jane explained.

”Yes, it's okay. Be careful on the road.” Raihanah exclaimed and Noah nodded his head.

”You want more?” bayyin asked her husband who had just eaten a little.

”Neither neng." Moses answered slowly.

”Don't be shy, add more. Eat it new a little.” Raihanah said as she put the rice back on her daughter-in-law's plate, Moses smiled and had no choice but to finish it off.

After breakfast together, Wafi and Shafiyah prepared to leave. The two will go to Bandung city, to the house of Shafiyah's parents. Raihanah has prepared a bushel containing food, and cakes in the other row. Like anything, Raihanah cannot ignore it. Wafi finished preparing first, men do not need much time to prepare, in contrast to women. For example, Shafiyah is now unfinished, she is still busy arranging her pashmina veil. Wafi slowly approached, hugging his wife's tall and slim body from behind.

”Aa, Fiyah is hard to wear her veil.” Shafiyah tried to rebel but her husband did not want to let go.

”Still sick?” tanya Wafi whispered. Both of Shafiyah's eyes were rounded, what was this? do not let her husband ask for rations before leaving.

”Iya still,” he said in reply.

”Ah lied,” said Wafi then kissed Shafiyah's shoulder and made the girl shudder in horror.

”Can go, don't a.” Shafiyah tried to advance, dodging but Wafi pulled her stomach.

”Yes later when you go home." Whisper Wafi with hoarse voice.

”Dih, it was yesterday night.” Shafiyah.

”Yes it's different oruh which, time only once, must be many times. Let her midgets quickly nest in your uterus.” Wafi smiled wryly, then landed his lips on the top of his wife's head, kissing her at a glance.

”Cebong frog boy right?"

”Kind deer.” Wafi joked then let go of her embrace. Letting his Habibah get ready, he sat on the edge of the bed and watched. After Shafiyah was ready, she grabbed her bag.

”Ayo a, ride motor huh?” Shafiyah walked over to her husband. Wafi grabbed his hand slowly and Shafiyah smiled.

”Car use yes, cloudy. Fear of rain.”

”Ya rain-rain.”

”No, you will be sick,” he said very worried. Finally Shafiyah nodded and Wafi invited her out of the room.

At the residence of Chairil and Khalisah, a tense atmosphere occurred. What Khalisah said yesterday with santriwati reached everyone's ears, embarrassing and disappointed Chairil. Should have learned from Khalisah already. His verbal that too often hurts the feelings of others, Chairil even more amazed to his cousin, Mu gus. The man could have avenged his wife, but he didn't. Gus Mu would never do it, hurting women was not done by real men.

The look on Khalisah's face was tense, seeing her husband's sudden attitude change. What's wrong now? why is her husband so angry with her.

”Abi why the hell?" tanya Khalisah ventured.

”Still unconscious too?” firmly Chairil with high tone.

”Ya usual aja dong say, do not snap.”

"Not snapping, who is that? think for yourself, what your mistake is. Until I'm upset.” Growled Chairil until Khalisah lowered her head in fear now.” Don't make trouble, I told you, right? if you keep this up, mending don't have to come to the pesantren. Isn't that enough to make me ashamed of Khalis?”

”What do you mean? I don't understand!” his voice was hoarse, followed by clear circles that drip one by one onto his cheeks.

”What's wrong anyway a? all my words are not true, I don't want to." Trying to defend themselves.

”Asstaghfirullah Khalisah,” said Chairil was so frustrated.” Your words are inappropriate, make people hurt.”

”Those who are baperan, they should know themselves, uwa you too. He has a son ex-convict, speaking of which he does not want, his son is also ex-convict but does not know himself.” Khalisah cried out loudly, both Chairil's eyes flushed with anger, his large body now rose and his left palm hit the table.

Brake!!!!! the sound of a loud buzz, Khalisah to jerk. Never had a chairlil like that been on him.

”Tega yes you, behave like me,” lirih Khalisah.

”Do not until I return you Khalisah, once or twice even kesusan. Istighfar Khalis, not everything we think we should say, let alone bad things. Hurting others,” Chairil said as he looked at his wife was sharp, the muscles in her neck tightened, how angry she was at the moment because of his wife's bad behavior.

His hands kept clenched tightly.

”Aa horrified me..”

Chairil immediately stepped away because he did not see the look on the face of consciousness on the beautiful face of his wife. So hard was the girl made aware, Chairil was embarrassed and disappointed. Seeing her husband leave just like that, Khalisah could only look down and continue to cry.

On the other hand, Wafi and Shafiyah had already reached Bandung city. The two stood in front of the fence of Shafiyah's parents' mansion, the security guard never opened the door, because he was ordered not to allow Wafi to enter. Shafiyah was unlikely to leave her husband.

”Let me talk to my mother mang,” said Shafiyah.

”Sorry, I can't. Mamang was afraid of being fired,” said the middle-aged man. Can't do anything, he's just about making a living and having to obey his employer.

”Yes there is no way my husband dong is left outside. She's part of this family also mang, she's Fiyah's husband,” Shafiyah said.

”Dear darling, hey. Why get angry, it's okay. You go in, I wait here. Mother must be happy to see you,” said Wafi while embracing his wife's soft waist. Shafiyah was already teary-eyed, what order is this? why did her mother stop her husband from entering.

”Can't be a, you have to go in too. I don't want to, if you can't get in" Shafiyah's voice was heavy. Wafi quickly wiped his tears, he was so sad to see his wife crying.

”Do not cry, already. It's okay, come in.”

”No need." Shafiyah remained unwilling and kept shaking her head.

From inside the house, Sara watched from behind the window. Finally he sauntered out of the house, and the two guests who were none other than his son and daughter-in-law noticed him. Shafiyah continued to look at her mother, hoping to melt her mother's heart so hard to give her blessing. Sara's face did not show acceptance, her gaze continued to intimidate her daughter-in-law.

”Bu,” Shafiyah said with a heavy voice.

”Assalamu'alaikum bu.” Wafi said so politely.

”Don't call me mom!" scream Sara." I wouldn't you call it that, why are you here?”

"Mom, please don't do this.” Pinta Shafiyah while holding the fence that never opened it.” Open Mom, Fiyah wants to come in. Fiyah kangen same mom. I didn't come to Fiyah's wedding as a Wafi. Are you really angry with Fiyah? until the happy day of this mother's daughter, the mother does not want to come,”.

”There may be a mother who hates her daughter, but it is quite possible if her daughter does not know herself and prefers criminal men like your husband. If you come alone, you can come in. But that man, don't expect to set foot again in this house. I don't want to, the floor of this house is dirty because of the sin of a murderer.”

”Mother!!” shafiyah's screams and cries grew more and more. Wafi embraces his wife's chest and wins it.” Please, enough. Fiyah didn't like Fiyah's husband in such a despicable manner, Gus Mu is good. Not as bad as you think, just ma'am. Don't insult Fiyah's husband, she's Fiyah's husband now and I have to be willing to accept that!” shafiyah said she could no longer hear the abuse directed at her husband, from her family, even from her own mother.

”Yes already then, mending you guys go. Go!!!!” sara shouted so loudly. The neighbors who heard the noise from the mansion were panicking, afraid of danger or something else. Shafiyah was devastated, seeing her mother like that.

”Go home," whispered Wafi as he hugged his limp wife's body. The new Herman came and immediately saw his wife screaming in panic, he got out of the car and half ran up to his son and daughter-in-law.

”What is Sara? noise, embarrass you!" herman firmly and his eyes glared at his wife.

”He who put our family to shame.” Show Sara to Wafi and Wafi can only resign, how else he will. Denying is useless.

”Asstaghfirullah, Sara's enough!" snapped Herman but his wife didn't care at all.

”Hiks.” Shafiyah continued to cry and Wafi hugged her. Sara really did not like to see her son touched by Wafi, in a hug like that.

”We're home." Take Wafi and Shafiyah just crying.

”Honey, home son. Let alone you, the dawn of your brother if you come here at the expulsion of your mother continue. For now don't come here first, I'll meet you at home. Go home son," said Herman persuaded. For the good of her son, she better ask her daughter to stay away for now.

”Cih!” sara's hiss, she even spit, insulting Wafi so badly. Then he stepped quickly and entered his house.

”Please take my son away." Pinta Herman patting Wafi on the shoulder. Wafi nodded in assent, Herman went inside to see his wife, reprimanding her if her behavior got any more insane now.

”Honey come, many people, many see. Shame, come.” Wafi whispered, pulled and grabbed his wife's body slowly, to immediately leave the residence of his in-laws. Shafiyah could only accept, even though she missed her parents so much. But in fact, the mother is still busy with her husband's status. Sara was so embarrassed, the news of her daughter's simple and secret marriage to the ex-con was widespread. His clients, employees and friends knew he was being ridiculed. But his behavior to Gus Mu could not be considered reasonable let alone true.
