Loving Husband Interlude
64. Najwa's remorse

Arsyil comes home with an erratic mind as to how he should answer Najwa's question about who is behind the burning of his printing press. Soon Najwa will know if the one burning is Azam.

Not Azam, but his secretary. But it will backfire on Azam, hated by Najwa and his two in-laws. Although Arsyil was angry with Azam, he could not hate his best friend.

I don't know, maybe he can be said to be a weak man because he does not want to hate people who have made a big mistake, which clearly Azam will get his own punishment. That's what Arsyil thought, even if Azam was his best friend.

Arriving at his house, time has shown at two o'clock in the afternoon. Arsyil entered with a shaky step, Najwa approached her husband anxiously.

"How bang? What did the police say?" ask Najwa.

"It's been found the culprit of the deck" replied Arsyil.

"Who's bang?" ask Najwa curiously.

Arsyil looked at his wife, he took a deep breath. If it is hard to say who did it, would Najwa also hate Azam?

"Have you eaten?" tanya Arsyil shifted Najwa's question.

"Adek has not eaten, but since then has been snacking. No appetite bang." said Najwa.

"Why? Poor you know the grandpa in his stomach, must be hungry" said Arsyil.

"Adek is not hungry yet, he wants to know who the arsonist is" Najwa said.

"Eat first, you'll tell me."

"Don't you?"

"Abang accompany the meal, brother is also hungry. We eat first, you tell me everything" said Arsyil with a smile to calm his wife.

Najwa nodded, and they stepped towards the dining table next to the kitchen. Najwa prepared rice and side dishes, prepared rice in an Arsyil dish. And Najwaa ate quickly, while Arsyil ate quietly. While thinking about how to convey information about the perpetrator to Najwa, so that his wife does not get angry and accept it sincerely.

As they ate in silence, Najwa occasionally glanced at her husband. He could not wait to hear Arsyil's story about the arsonist.

"Bang, same story. Who did the arson?" najwa asked impatiently with Arshil's calmness in silence.

Arsyil smiled, he got up from his seat to wash his hands in the dishwasher. Then he sat down again in front of his wife, looked at her gently and smiled again.

"Abang makes you die curious, quickly tell me who did it" said Najwa with a slight sulking.

"But adek promise do not get angry, brother does not want to blame anyone because brother already considers it a disaster and a test for brother. Adek understands?" ask Arsyil.

"Why did you say that?" ask Najwa.

"Because the burning was not entirely the perpetrator's fault, he was just as a real scapegoat. But later the police will investigate it, let it be a police matter" said Arsyil again.

"Adek doesn't understand bang, who wants to know who did it. Why did you get into police business?"

"Because it's a police business too, but also a brother's business later. And you have other plans for the deck" said Arsyil again.

"What if asked always muter-muter, brother is afraid to get angry?" ask Najwa.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Adek will not be angry, the origin of the same story adek brother. Won't be angry" said Najwa.

Arsyil was silent, he looked at his wife again. His hand held Najwa's cheek, stroking it slowly.

"Actually it's a man who knows nothing. He was just ordered by a secretary and it was on behalf of his boss. While the boss alone does not know that the burning of the printing press brother is the perpetrator is his own secretary. Because he is looking for a strategic land for business cooperation with foreign companies" said Arsyil.

"Sister, who's the boss?" ask Najwa.

"Azam."

"What?! Mas Azam?" ask Najwa in shock.

"But not Azam deck, at first my brother was also very disappointed. After thinking about it, I thought Azam would not have the heart to do that to my brother. Brother already considered it a disaster, so you think quite kinship only if later had to be expelled by the police. But it also depends what Azam wants to do to the police, he has a lawyer" Arsyil said.

"Geez bang, it must be in the prison. Why do you still think Azam mas is good anyway?"

"Because he's basically good on deck, that's why you're waiting for what Azam would do if he were to go to the police" Arsyil said.

"Assalamu aleikum."

The sound of greetings from outside spread the mind of the husband and wife. Arsyil got up from his seat he stepped towards the door of the house and opened it.

Imi Dila and I came to visit. After they found out from Najwa that the printing press was on fire and someone deliberately set it on fire. Umi Dila and Abah went straight to Arsyil's house.

"Wa alaikum salam, abah umi." replied Arsyil, he greeted his father-in-law.

Both of them entered, umi Dila seemed curious to listen to Arsyil's story about the fire.

"Sit on umi, abah" said Arsyil.

Najwa approached her parents, she greeted him and sat beside him. As Arsyil sat down, he was astonished by the arrival of Najwa's parents.

"What's the same umi as coming here?" ask Arsyil.

"Hear that your printing press is on fire, right?" ask umi Dila.

"Yes umi."

"Who would burn your printing press, son Arsyil?" ask Dila again.

Arsyil was silent, he glanced at his wife. While Najwa snorted harshly, she was somehow upset at her husband who took it for granted about the fire disaster.

"The secretary is Azam, umi." replied Najwa.

"What?!"

"Yes, the secretary is Azam. He deliberately hired people to burn the printing brother so that the land could be taken by Azam. I don't know what it is, but I think Azam is also involved" said Najwa, still upset.

"Dek, don't accuse me like that" Arsyil reminded his wife.

"But why would his secretary burn it if his boss was in need? Maybe because of business, so any dirty way was done. I'm so upset why you just take it for granted" Najwa said.

"Sir."

"Najwa, quiet. Your husband may have another opinion, don't be so angry." said his brother now join the talk and mediate his son.

"But Bah, what Najwa said was true. Maybe Azam also contributed to the fire" said Umi Dila.

"Azam doesn't know about his secretary's plans. I've been to his office, his intention is to make sure that Azam is not my best friend who did it. But in his office instead his secretary said such a thing and Azam scolded him. I talked to him, too, and it was police business. Let the police take care of him" said Arsyil explaining what he had talked to Najwa.

"Geez, you are. Why is your heart so airy, son, it's clearly a crime" said Umi Dila.

"I gave it to Umi. Rather than regret and anger never returning what has happened, I better think about how it will be in the future. And I already have plans for my next job, Umi. In order to continue to support Najwa and our son" Arsyil said.

Umi Dila was silent, she was deeply moved by the words of her daughter-in-law. Abah only smiled faintly, it was not wrong for Najwa to fall in love with Arsyil and retain his household heresy.

"Yes, if indeed son Arsyil considers it a disaster and a test. Just pray that the exam is completed immediately and there is a better substitute" said Abah wisely.

"Bah, you have not fulfilled your promise" said Umi Dila.

"Yes umi, you will fulfill it in the near future" said abah.

"What promise umi?" ask Najwa.

"Just a small promise, don't think about it." replied abah quickly, so that Umi Dila did not talk to her daughter to muddy the mood of Najwa who was upset.

"Well, umi want to eat here?" ask Arsyil.

"Can."

As they head to the kitchen, Najwa prepares food for his parents. They will eat together, Arsyil was calm with the arrival of his in-laws. But he will calm down Najwa who is still upset with him because of the problem earlier.
