LOOK AT ME, GUS!
Chapter Eight

Gus Shabir who was walking slowly towards his room was startled by Hana's voice. He looked at his wife with a question mark.

"Where are you from, Mom?" ask Hana.

"Where are you from?" Instead of answering the wife's question, she asked back.

Hana smiled at the husband's question. He went into the room without answering. Gus Shabir came in. The man immediately laid his body onto the sofa. From the top of the bed, Hana looked at the husband without a blink.

Anin sat waiting for the Papi who was having breakfast. He's going back to the boarding house this morning. Aisha in the kitchen is still preparing provisions for the princess. Yesterday he made rendang and orek tempe. The woman was busy putting all the side dishes into her container.

Anin stood up and hugged the mother. Peeping the cheeks of the woman he cared about the most.

"Mommy, I will definitely continue to miss the mami's cooking" said Anin spoiled.

"Mommy will send it, you just say what you want."

Hana, who had just emerged from the room, approached the mother and child. He helped Aisha prepare provisions for her.

"Reduce spicy eating. Later if sick there is no I can mijitin. Who do you want to spoil?" Hana reminded Anin who was happy with spicy dishes, even though the girl had a history of stomach acid.

"I'm staying by aunty's phone" Anin replied with a smile.

"You forgot I already had a husband. Don't fuckin. Do you want me to split up with my husband?" ask Hana.

Hana's question, made Aisha and Anin quite surprised. The two looked at Hana intensely. Noticing her rude remark, the woman smiled knotfully.

"Why look at me like that? I was just kidding. This Anin too, I never heard me say that. It's common for Aisha's sister, Anin and I to talk like that" Hana said.

He then served all the dishes for breakfast to the table. Anin hugged her mom. Hannah glanced towards the two of them.

"Had I had a mother, it would have bounced like that as well. Indeed, Brother Aisha treats me the same, but there is still a different feeling in this heart," Hana muttered in her heart.

A well-dressed ghibran approached his wife and son. He hugged both of them. Peeping the princess' cheeks repeatedly like when she was little. For Ghibran the princess was still his little baby. He lifted up Anin's body. The girl hugged the neck of the papi and kissed his cheek.

The newly emerged Gus Shabir from his room looked at Anin and Ghibran who were hugging with a smile. His gaze did not blink towards them. Hana secretly glanced at her husband.

At breakfast, Ghibran feeds Anin. The girl always looked down, not daring to look forward, afraid that her gaze would collide with Gus Shabir. Everyone is enjoying the dishes.

"Bang, me and Mas Shabir today will also return to the cottage," said Hana broke the silence.

"Later Abang interracial after dropping off Anin to the terminal. This baby does not want to be delivered to the destination city. He wants to study independently, he said," said Ghibran, pinching the princess' nose slowly.

"Anin's not a baby anymore, Bang. Don't be too pampering. Later he feared if he could have an understanding husband and did not pay attention like Brother, pity Anin. From now on it must be used independently. Remember Anin, if you are sick, do not be silenced. Learning to be responsible, starting from responsibility to yourself," said Hana.

"I can take care of myself, Aunty. Just look at it later. I'm going to be a doctor. The doctor's time can't handle itself. If all this time spoiled, because there's something I hope helps. While living far away and alone, I was sure I could take care of myself. Papi believe'kan?" ask Anin.

Ghibran nods his fist in response. Aisha who heard the debate of the two women just smiled. Hana always cornered her daughter. However, Aisha is never hurt by thinking everything Hana does because she loves Anin.

"Mas, if your kayak man doesn't fit Anin. He's got to get a man at least like his papi. Who can unite Anin. Because from childhood he was always united with papi and mami," said Hana.

Gus Shabir and the others were shocked to hear Hana's words. Syifa who was standing behind Hana was no less surprised to hear his words.

"Hana, you're all there. Why is it Gus Shabir that you are giving thanks to, he is your husband, not Anin's husband" Syifa replied.

"I'm just likening. Gus Shabir wants polygamy with Anin and me. Where can I," said Hana.

"Here, his speech began to hang. Poor Gus Shabir, he set an example. I'm sure Gus is a good man in charge, you're lucky to have a husband like him, Hana" Aisha said.

**

After breakfast, Ghibran and Aisha drop off Anin and Syifa. Only Gus Shabir and Hana stay at home. Her husband was engrossed in reading Islamic books, regardless of the presence of his wife.

"Mas, do you regret marrying me?" ask Hana.

The woman's sudden question made Gus Shabir surprised and looked at his wife intensely. In his heart asked, why did Hana ask so.

"Already, Mas. Don't answer. I'm afraid your answer will hurt my heart. I went to the room first, there is still something I want to arrange," said Hana finally.

The woman stood up and walked into the room without waiting for an answer from her husband. In the room her tears broke. It's been a week of marriage, the man hasn't touched her yet.

"Do I not deserve to be loved, Gus Shabir? Why have you never looked at me. Unlike Anin, you always look at her lovingly. I was jealous to see you always stealing glances and glancing at Anin," Hana muttered in her heart.

Hannah wiped her tears. She doesn't want her husband to see. What else if Ghibran finds out.

"Gus Shabir, when you accepted my proposal, you made me fly even up into the stars, but now I am you throw deep into a steep abyss. My body still looks like it used to, but not with my heart. If I'm still trying to survive, it's all I'm doing is hoping for his ridho. And if one day I leave you it's also because I don't want to wrong myself. If this heart is no longer able to hold, I will retreat with a sincere heart."
