Marrying a Muslim Woman
Chapters 10. Hearts Piercing
After her death from the funeral of Alvian's mother, the Almaira family had already returned home, leaving Almaira with her husband. But before the departure of abi, ummi and the brothers Almaira returned to his home. Ummi had already spoken to Almaira before they left his daughter.
"Almaira's fine here huh. Ummi and Abi will return home" Ummi Siti told her daughter.
"Yes Ummi ... Almaira will be fine here."
"Be a sholihah wife to your husband. Love him even if you don't know him, try to understand him. Slowly you will recognize the attitude of your husband."
"Good Ummi. Almaira will try her best to accept everything that has happened to Almaira even though all this is too soon for Almaira," said Almaira soraya pensively.
"It's not too fast just that you can't accept it yet, Maira." Ummi Siti continues to advise her daughter.
Almaira tried to digest all the words from her umminya. What Ummi Siti said is true, sooner or later everything will happen.
***
Now there are only Almaira and Alvian in the house. Ahlan's father has gone to work, while Alvian is still on his leave.
Alvian looks so moody after returning home from his mother's funeral, especially not caring about the state and health of his body. Almaira as a doctor must have known how shocked Alvian was with all this. If it is not overcome or even let it get worse in the future, it might cause mental disturbances, he said, but all that will never happen to Alvian because there is still Almaira who is ready to support and encourage him to rise from a very deep guilt.
Almaira approached Alvian who was now pensive on the sofa, to divert his mind and persuade him not to feel too guilty.
"No Almaira! You don't want anything. You can do whatever you want" replied Alvian lazily.
"Mas want to eat? Let Almaira abilin, huh?" talk to Almaira in various ways.
"Almaira! It's already a billang, right? You don't want anything. You're overreacting." Alvian got up from his seat and let out a rather loud voice.
Almaira was downcast to hear her husband's high-sounding words. At Abi Zaenal's house, Almaira had never been snapped let alone in such a high voice. Everyone in Almaira's house had never been so, it was only natural that she felt fear.
"Sorry ... Almaira just wanted to persuade Mas to let Mas Alvian pay more attention to health" said Almaira who sounded a little shaky.
"Almaira, excuse me to go into the room first" she continued, and Almaira walked away from her husband.
Tears could not be clouded Almaira anymore, Alvian's speech did not contain meaning, but it was very painful piercing the heart. Not outrageous, but very inappropriate.
Alvian looked at the back of Almaira who was slowly going away from before him. There was a bit of guilt in Alvian's heart with all that he said to his wife. Because of losing the figure of a mother beside Alvian, making himself indifferent to the health of his body and unconsciously. What Alvian did, could make Almaira worry about her.
Without seeing the good side of Almaira. Alvian had unconsciously yelled at his wife without cause, but it did not make Alvian apologize to his wife.
Almaira in the room just cried, remembering all the words of her husband. "I must be strong, I must not be weak. Ummi had said that I should be able to understand Mas Alvian's current state. Perhaps Mas Alvian spoke so because he was again in a slump." Immediately Almaira wiped away the tears that still continued to flow out from her beautiful eye peluhan.
