Married for Trust
CHAPTER 6.

6.

After finishing cooking and arranging the food at the dining table, Nazhwa went to the bathroom to take a bath. She looked around for Andre, but her husband was on the balcony of the room.

Moments later after finishing her bath and getting dressed, she approached her husband on the balcony.

"Prepare yuk Mas, soon azan magrib." Take Nazhwa but his gaze followed the direction of Andre's gaze which looked at the slowly darkening sky.

"Hem." Andre answered with deheman.

Because Andre did not move from his seat, Nazhwa also sat beside her husband while still staring at the sky.

"The sky is very beautiful to look at, but over time he makes us miss someone who has left us."

Unknowingly Andre nodded confirming Nazhwa's words.

"Mas, I actually have an older sister, but she's calmed down in her new night. He died at the scene of the accident. The people who took him to the hospital said that my brother was with a man in the car, but until now we had never met him. Dad also did not want to meet the man because Dad thought he was the cause of my brother's death. But I was trying to find her whereabouts I really wanted to meet the man to ask how the accident could have happened, and whether my brother had ordered anything before he died, but unfortunately I don't know where the man is and where to look. I have absolutely no clue to find him."

The long sentence Nazhwa had just spoken made Andre stunned. It turns out that during this time Nazhwa tried to find his existence which his father considered as the cause of Shalwa's death.

Andre confirmed his sitting position as uncomfortable, Nazhwa's words about Shalwa's death made his heart suddenly beat fast.

"I'm so sorry, may your brother have the best place by God's side" Andre said, standing up. "Yes, let's get ready for Magrib's time soon." He then stepped into the room with Nazhwa behind him.

A few moments later the azan magrib reverberated, Andre and Nazhwa fulfilled their obligations as Muslims that they had never missed in congregation for one month of their marriage.

After finishing the Nazhwa prayer, she invited her husband to dinner.

"You eat first, I have a little work to do." Said Andre and then moved from the top of the prayer mat.

"Yes, if that's what I'm waiting for Mas aja." replied Nazhwa then let go of his face. Her long hair was broken and looked a little damp because she had a shower after cooking, then she took her hijab and put it on.

Andre was slightly stunned to see the beauty of Nazhwa's long, pitch-black hair, in contrast to Shalwa whose hair was only shoulder-length and blonde.

Not wanting to be lulled Andre immediately turned his gaze away from Nazhwa. "As for you, if you're starving waiting for me, I don't take responsibility" he said, then walked out of the room to his study.

Nazhwa just smiled while staring at her husband's steps until lost behind the door, he rushed to tidy up his prayer mat and followed Andre in his study.

"Why did you come here?" andre asked with a surprised look because Nazhwa suddenly entered his study, a small frame he took from the drawer he quickly hid behind his body.

"And I want to wait for Mas, yes it's good to wait here while Temenin Mas. Who knows if Mas needs something so good can immediately tell me to do it." replied Nazhwa while sitting his body on the couch not far from Andre's desk.

"Mas, he said there was work to be done but why would you even keep quiet. Later the food is cold hunted not good." said Nazhwa put a suspicious look.

"W-yeah if you eat first there, then I can hangetin myself." Andre stuttered a little.

Nazhwa did not respond, he instead lay on the sofa while continuing to pay attention to her husband who looked suspicious. She was really curious about what was behind her husband.

While Andre really did not know what to do now as if he died a flea, if he stood up certainly Nazhwa would see what he was holding behind the body, he said, he did not want Nazhwa to know that every time he came to his study not to do his work but just to look at the late Shalwa photo of his lover.

Andre thought of a way to prevent Nazhwa from seeing the photo, before long he thought of something.

"Nazhwa, suddenly I'm thirsty, can you please get me some water to drink?"

Nazhwa got up from the sofa which made Andre feel relieved because Nazhwa would come out of his room to take drinking water while he could return a picture of Shalwa in a drawer without being seen by his wife.

However, Nazhwa did not come out of Andre's workroom but instead approached her husband which made Andre a bit of a scene.

"Kok even here, I'll tell you to get some water to drink?"

"Mas don't see, in Mas's table there is a glass of water.'' said Nazhwa as he took a glass of water and gave it to Andre.

Andre was getting more nervous, he reached out one hand to take the water that Nazhwa was offering while the other hand was still at the back holding the picture frame of Shalwa. Andre immediately drank a glass of water until the toilet made Nazhwa frown.

"Yes, let's eat now but you come out first I want to clean this up first" said Andre while putting the empty glass on the table.

"Decorate what? The table is neat and not a mess." said Nazhwa.

"Could not be you if you say the same husband just do not need to bring it!"

Although still curious about what her husband hid behind his body, Nazhwa finally came out of Andre's workroom because he did not want to get the stamp of a dissident wife. It was enough that he was just a doll that had never been touched, he also did not want to get a title that all wives do not want.

Nazhwa has arrived in the dining room, she sat sweetly while waiting for Andre but until past fifteen minutes her husband did not come out of his study which made Nazhwa finally back up from the dining room to call her husband.

Nazhwa was glued to the door of Andre's room that was slightly open, he could see Andre was staring at a small frame that he did not know whose photo was attached to the frame.

Nazhwa entered Andre's study without her husband realizing it.

"Mas.." call Nazhwa.

The surprised Andre accidentally dropped the frame which was lucky with the reverse position.
