Loving Husband Interlude
36. Repatriating Najwa

"Sir brother wants to talk to you" said Arsyil after he finished eating.

"What do you want to say?" tanya Najwa pretended not to understand.

"Sit down on the deck, you want to talk seriously" Arsyil said.

Najwa looked at her husband, taking a deep breath. Arsyil nodded so that Najwa would quickly sit down, and Najwa sat down. She looked at her husband with sadness.

Arsyil was still, taking a deep breath first. He looked at his wife and looked down for a long time.

"What do you want to say?" ask Najwa repeatedly.

"Two days of the agreement was completed, brother said a lot of thanks as well as filling the space of my brother's heart even if only for a moment" said Arsyil paused his speech.

Najwa was still waiting for her husband's next words, she stared fixedly at the man who now looked tough. Exactly trying hard.

"Lies if you feel not sad to have to part with adek. But the promise is still the promise of the deck, brother must keep it. Azam was very fond of adek, maybe more love Azam in adek compared to brother." said Arsyil again, his throat was choked, so he could not continue his speech.

While Najwa was still silent, still looking at her husband who began to fixate and closed her eyes.

"Don't you feel sad about my father's departure?" tanya Najwa switched the conversation.

"Right up the deck, brother felt guilty" said Arsyil began to sob.

"Don't think about the promise, brother is grieving. It would be very sinful to leave your brother alone. How do Abah and Umi respond to brother's problems? Adek who will be angered Abah bang, leaving a husband who is slumped because of the loss of a father. Did that bitch let brother live alone in grief?" ask Najwa.

"Ngga deck brother has promised with Azam, tomorrow adek must go home Abah. And you'll be fine, don't worry. Since then my brother's talaq has fallen equally adek" Arsyil said again.

"Geez bang, why do you still talk like that again? Adek wants to accompany brother until he can forget his brother's sadness." said Najwa still insistent with his attitude.

"Dec, please don't argue. Brother does not want to feel sorry for brother, brother does not want to feel overwhelmed because of brother's sadness. Please, understand brother deck." said Arsyil again.

Najwa gave a rude snort, she could not change Arsyil's decision. He admitted that Arsyil is a man who is responsible and also trustworthy. But the heart problem, it can't be like that.

"Abang made my heart quite disappointed" said Najwa at last.

"I'm sorry deckbrother" said Arsyil.

"Hik hik hik, adek felt that being a woman was useless to her husband. Hik hik hik."

"Super useful, don't blame yourself deck. You feel adek is very valuable, do not blame it like that" said Arsyil to calm Najwa.

"If you feel valuable, why would you want to return adek to Abah's house?" still with his sobs.

"I'm sorry, brother Dek, you can't do anything to prevent this fate" Arsyil said.

"That's the reason for my brother, why didn't you tell me that you wanted to keep your brother because you love your brother?" najwa asked, looking intently at her husband.

Arsyil was silent, he was down. It turns out that Najwa knows that she loves him. Najwa was still staring at her husband.

"Azam also loves adek, he has more love than brother" said Arsyil again still lowered his face, tears dropped. But then he removed it back.

"What if someone loves their brother?"

This time Najwa's question made Arsyil look up, he looked at Najwa's face which was already filled with tears. Her sobbing is no different between sad and disappointed.

"I'm sorry, my brother still holds a strong sense of friendship. And thank you very much for loving my brother." said Arsyil.

"Egoo thing!"

Najwa got up from his seat, wiped his tearful face and left Arsyil, who was still down. He could not do much, he had to keep his promise to Azam.

Now he sobbed, tightness in the chest because his conversation with Najwa really made him fall and regret.

"Oh my God, strengthen my heart. May everything pass quickly. I'm sorry deck, sorry. Hik hik hik." said Arsyil.

He was preparing to go home, the clothes he used to carry he put in his bag. Arsyil waited in the living room, anxiety and guilt and self-disappointment continue to fester in his mind.

He turned to the door of Najwa's room, not yet out of his room. Arsyil took a deep breath, and he saw Najwa's room again. But then Najwa came out with a bag of clothes.

She looked at Arsyil for a long time, then stepped closer to her husband.

"Are you deck ready?" ask Arsyil.

Najwa just nodded, she took a heavy breath. It felt so heavy that he had to leave the rented house full of sweet memories. He looked at Arsyil and turned away again, Arsyil took the bag from Najwa's hand and took it out. The steps are very heavy, but it has to be done.

"Bang, like my brother said last night. Adek came home to mean talaq has fallen on adek" said Najwa.

"Yes the deck." answered Arsyil.

Najwa is silent, meaning only one fall talak. He can think about how his love with Arsyil will continue, this time he will act. He let Arsyil fulfill his promise first.

Last night he had thought about it, indeed Arsyil could not do much.

Both of them are now on the bike, Arsyil is moving slowly. Najwa hugged her husband from behind tightly.

"Yesterday adek told Abah that my brother's father died. Abah can not be sorry because it is outside the city bang, he said later to want to takziah after returning from outside the city. Maybe this afternoon Abah came home" said Najwa behind Arsyil.

"Yes, I'm sorry that you forbade me from telling Abah" Arsyil said.

The journey feels very short, maybe their minds do not focus on the streets so without realizing the motorbike is in front of Abah Najwa's house.

The two go down, Arsyil brings Najwa's bag. His steps stopped for a moment, but then he stepped again. The determination that had been slack now he had to tighten again.

"Assynnya!"

"Wa Alaikum salam."

From inside the house, Najwa and Arshil stood at the door. Najwa had no intention of going in first, she looked at her husband who was soon to become an ex.

The door opened, and Dila was standing looking at the two.

"Oh Allah, son of Arsyil Najwa. Go in first you guys. Don't just stand in front of the door." said Umi Dila.

"Yes umi." replied Arsyil smiling stiffly.

Arsyil goes inside, he heads to the living room where he first saw Najwa and falls in love at first sight.

"Son Arsyil, umi is very sad about the passing of my father Arsyil. Abah equally umi had not had time to go to the house of son Arsyil, Abah was shocked to hear his iron died. Just this afternoon Abah came home, and Umi apologized for not being able to come" said Umi Dila.

"Without anything, I also came here to return the deck of Najwa" said Arsyil.

"Oh Allah, son of Arshil, it should not be direct now. And is it true that you're going to split up?" ask umi Dila.

"Yes umi, I have to keep my promise to Azam umi" said Arsyil.

Umi Dila looked at her daughter-in-law, then turned to Najwa. From the faces of both of them there was sadness. Umi knew her son was feeling sad, either Najwa may have had another taste in Arsyil.

"Wait for Abah first yes, he said in a moment to arrive" said Umi Dila.

Arsyil just nodded, he remained in his attitude to return Najwa to Abah and uminya. Before long, the sound of a car stopped in front of the yard. They knew it must be the taxi that drove Abah home.

"Assynnya!"
