Light For Gus Mu
Chapter 65: Flashback
The flashback:
As a grandfather for the first time, when Berhan to Indonesia, he always took the time to bring his first grandchild for a walk. Wafi Muzammil, taken anywhere, and sometimes Raihanah also come along. The 3-year-old little wafi is now being held by a woman, invited to play and joke until her crying subsides.
”Fajar, play Mumu,” he said to the child who continued to look at his mother holding someone else's child.
”Now!” reject Dawn.
”Fajar!” sara's voice rose and Dawn finally could only obey. Little Dawn and little Wafi played together, exchanged toys and light-handed Dawn hit Wafi's arm for no reason. Wafi retaliated by biting Fajar's fingers.
”Aaaaaa! sick mom!” shouts of Dawn, and she almost cries. Sara panicked, put down the phone she had originally played earlier, then checked her daughter's fingers. Sara glanced at Wafi, Wafi smilingly showing off her teeth that had not yet grown perfectly and all that. Sara immediately pinched the toddler's cheek strongly, Wafi's cry became so-so. The incident was seen by Berhan's secretary, Berhan who had just come with Herman immediately inflamed hearing his grandson was hurt.
”Honey, don't cry. It's grandfather,” said Berhan while embracing and lifting his grandson's tiny body.” What the fuck is this Miss Sara?” Berhan.
”Sara, you did.” Herman whispered in Sara's ear and Sara lowered her head.
”My fingers are bit,” said Fajar and Berhan glanced at him.
”Only a matter of children, parents do not need to interfere, just need to reprimand and remind, you pinch my grandson until his cheeks are red like this, this is abuse, this is,” Berhan said with a sharp look at them in front of him.
”Pak Berhan I'm sorry, my wife accidentally sir." Herman tried to persuade, but Berhan did not see any intention of apologizing. Herman's wife is indeed famous for her arrogance.” Sara, I'm sorry Sara." Tell Herman Sara to be quiet.
”The boy bit our son's finger, he's the first one,” Sara replied.
”Good grandson Berhan is still small, far away with the dawn of his age, not yet understood. Cepetan apologize.” Herman became upset and blocked his wife's elbow but Sara still did not want to.
”Cih!" Berhan hissing. Eventually he stepped away to leave Herman's makeshift office, and Herman chased after him.
”Pak, I'm sorry, sorry my wife."
”I was wrong for coming here."
”Please sir, do not cancel our company cooperation. I really need this cooperation."
”Only for the injection of funds, I understand that Mr. Herman. Please find another company. I canceled everything, because I also have not signed anything,” Berhan said without looking at Herman. Herman could only resign, and his company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Berhan left just like that, carrying Wafi and in the car he made milk for his grandson, until Wafi fell asleep in his lap.
Herman scolded Sara, the two even got divorced after the incident but re-referenced because of the future of their children. A few years later, the Herman company began to rise, but in a bad way that is by stealing data Berhan company in the headquarters, Canada by bribing some employees. Berhan inflamed, he who was old could not possibly go back and forth to the homeland. Till Noah takes care of everything. And successfully brought the case to court. Herman was imprisoned for two years, and Sara hated the Berhan family. Year after year, the problems begin to disappear. Herman and Sara forget about it, and some meet with Noah just to provoke Noah's emotions, Noah is not easily provoked. Until they got tired of themselves, at Wafi's Cv Ta'aruf. Sara and Herman did not pay any attention to the name of Raihanah Sufu Embrace. Berhan's daughter is not widely known.
Flashback off:
_______________
Noah will have time to prohibit Wafi to decide his intention to ask Shafi, but Wafi can not be involved with problems in the past. And Noah was so happy that his only daughter, the golden son Herman and Sara, had been found by his nephew. Sara who once said she would not want to be in a relationship again, is now embarrassed to meet Noah, because her daughter is married to Wafi. But unfortunately, Sara learns too late that Wafi is the son of Berhan's son, and washes from Berhan after Wafi and Shafiyah get married.
The woman now continues to stare at Wafi's self data, she came home after a meeting. His eyes kept staring at Raihanah's name.
”Why can I not be aware of the name of the mother of the goddamn man. His grandfather made life difficult. Putting Herman in jail, me and the kids were dangling. And now my only daughter, with that arrogant granddaughter. Why like this!!!" sara screamed as she threw away the paper and stepped on it.
”You've stolen company secrets, this is fraud, illegal. No matter how far you run from me, we will keep in touch, and you will continue to feel guilty for everything you do.”
Berhan's words continued to ring in the woman's ears, Sara stepped away and Herman who had just returned grabbed the paper. Read it, and Sara circles Raihanah's name with a green-faced marker. Both of Herman's eyes were rounded, he had already begun to suspect after seeing Noah and seeing a photo of Wafi as a child on the wall of the Wafi house.

Elsewhere, at the Wafi's house. Shafiyah had just returned home from college, sooner than usual and she was surprised to see her husband sleeping on the sofa, his face so tired that she saw him from a distance.
”Why did you go home? why don't you pick me up when I get home?” The girl muttered full of question marks. Then she stepped slowly and crouched down next to the sofa where her husband was resting. Her lips smiled faintly, looking at the handsome face of her husband. Then his hand moved and stroked the black hair. Wafi opened his eyes, caught his wife's wrist and Shafiyah was startled.
”What's up? I went home, sorry I didn't pick you up. I am very tired of the problem,” he added hoarsely and Shafiyah nodded.
”Why is kayak sad?” shafiyah asked and Wafi smiled.
”No, eat first, rest first. Later I want to tell you,” said Wafi and Shafiyah did not want to leave her husband's lap, before her husband spoke and explained.
”What? what's up?”
”Nort yes.” Wafi asked in a hoarse voice.
”You're making a mistake just like me? do you want to marry again bi? you cheat, you like other girls huh? less me what? I tried so hard to be a good wife, why are you the same as me?” shafiyah said and her tears fell. Wafi shook his head and cupped his wife's cheeks softly, but Shafiyah was about to pull over, then quickly Wafi hugged her tightly. His chin was stuck in the smell of his wife.
Wafi closed her eyes and Shafiyah returned her husband's embrace.” Abi want to get married again? Fiyah wrong what?”
”Poligami does not mean because the previous wife is a lot wrong dear, and I have absolutely no intention to do so. Maybe it's worse, and please, I'll ask you before I clear everything. Don't stay with me, don't stay away from me because of this problem, the problem I will say,” said Wafi hoarse and Shafiyah confused.
”What is bi?”
”I'm stressed baby, I'm tired, I'm tired, I can't stay there anymore, in a place I don't want to, I've been inside all this time.” He also complained, to the wife and hoped to get support. Shafiyah kept quiet and tightened her embrace. Wafi took a deep breath and exhaled as he pulled it, his breath rising and falling irregularly. Afraid, Shafiyah did not accept her decision.” I quit my job." The bridge was short and Shafiyah's embrace loosened. But Wafi tightened his embrace.
”Since when?” ask Shafiyah.
”Today,” said Wafi and Shafiyah let go of her embrace.
”Why not ask me first? why don't you tell me, why take a big decision without negotiating with your wife first?” said Shafiyah and made a hug Wafi released.
”Honey,” said the man and Shafiyah hurriedly got up.” We can get sustenance in another way, in a way that makes me also comfortable.” Wafi tries to convince Shafiyah but the girl does not understand her way of thinking.
”But why now? I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant, I'm young, I've been stressed with all our problems, not you who bear the burden but me too, I married you with very big consequences. Why should it be at this time? what are we gonna eat, our boy? I am you, Umi and all needs. Do I have to work? thinking of all the household burdens that it is not my obligation to think of all that?” shafiyah said in a soft tone, but her words were so piercing her husband's chest to the heart, Wafi was so sick to hear his wife's words.
”Do you not believe in the sustenance of Allah dear?”
”I believe, humans are just enough to pray and strive in earnest. But if it has been given the best, then discarded, it's called not grateful bi. Didn't you think of this? where do you want to find a job?" Shafiyah was getting tired and her head was throbbing again now.
”You don't support me?” wafi's voice was so hoarse.
”Iya, no! realistic little, you can't go any further, with your past bi, I have absolutely no intention of insulting. But we have to be self-aware.” Shafiyah tried to give understanding, but the time and mood are equally not good now, and could have made the relationship worse.
”You realize you're not saying that to me?" ask by raising tears. He couldn't hold it.
”I am aware bi, please do not be rash if you make a decision!" shafiyah. Then he took a rough breath, showing resistance to her husband's actions.
”You think I took this decision carelessly? without thinking first, not Habibah at all!” Wafi's voice is rising. Raihanah was shocked and dropped the glass from her hand. Shafiyah flinched and retreated away.” Keep insulting me, insult me as much, instead of you being the same as your family, demeaning me constantly, come on again, you want to say more about this ex-con, come on!” Wafi half shouted and Shafiyah lowered her head while continuing to cry.
”I will take Shafiyah's responsibility, because it's my duty, but I'm not strong there. You don't know what I was treated like there, your mother even...” Wafi stopped and Shafiyah raised her head, looking at the man who immediately threw away his face. Not looking at him.” I am tired, living my business, you just need to pray and do not add to the burden of my mind with caci maki.”
”That's not what Fiyah means a." Shafiyah stepped closer, Wafi has risen. Shafiyah grabbed her husband's hand and Wgi brushed it off roughly.” A Wafi,” Shafiyah said hoarsely.
Wafi raised her hand, asking Shafiyah to stop talking.” Don't let me go, you'll hate me if you see me out of control, you'll be scared. You may also leave me,” she said hoarsely and stared at each other closely with her husband.
”Bi.” Shafiyah said and wrapped around her husband's waist with both hands. Wafi pressed his nape, kissing his forehead long enough. Ashar said, Wafi backed away until Shafiyah's hand came off, the man just left and Shafiyah cried.
”I was wrong, why should I say that? why the hell is lip.” Shafiyah was upset and finally stepped quickly to catch up with her husband. Wafi was out of the house and Shafiyah went down the stairs quickly. Shafiyah slipped and held on with all her might. Luckily he didn't fall, but he was shocked not to fall at the moment. Shafiyah finally sat down slowly, held her stomach and cried sobbing. Raihanah was silent, letting the girl cry to the fullest until she could be spoken to. She would not interfere, she would only ask that the girl not leave her son.
”Yes Allah, what I said earlier, to the point of offending her, offending my husband, he was grumpy, but he had never been like that before. His gaze, his voice, his touch were so different. I was wrong, very wrong hix!" her crying was so bitter. Raihanah could not bear it and finally decided to immediately see her daughter-in-law.
