Marrying a Muslim Woman
Chapter 24. Why Not Before
Alvian had come out of the bathroom in her neat clothes, walking closer to the bed.
On top of the bed was already seen Almaira who was sleeping comfortably on it. Alvian starts to approach him and tries to get close to Almaira's face while kissing her forehead. Without the slightest embarrassment, Alvian stroked Almaira's head very gently.
"I think my ego is too high that I have never seen, how gentle and sincere you accept me even though you already know my attitude that often ignores you," muttered Alvian as Almaira slept soundly.
"I'm sorry too! Why don't I accept you as my wife. The special woman I've met from so many women's stews in this world."

FLASHBACKS
The incident began when Alvian tried to convince himself of the recovery of his mother, and it turned out that his efforts were very futile.
Almaira suddenly came out of her mother's operating room with enough news to make her very bad.
That's where Alvian got really shaken up. The very Alvian mother suddenly left her so quickly. Not that she did not accept fate, but that Alvian was incapable and helpless when her mother was declared dead in this world.
His mind was so messed up that his wife, he ignored him and his duty, Alvian, was gone.
As a result of his thoughts that are not good, Alvian had assumed that Almairah was the cause of his mother died because at that time, Hilma's mother still had a chance to be cured. However, all of that had been hindered when Hilma's mother suddenly dropped, in an instant her mother had to leave her.
Every time he came home from work, Alvian deliberately overtime and came home so late that there was no time with his wife. However, slowly his heart began to melt with all the care, patience, and tenderness that Almaira gave him.
Never in the slightest did Almaira speak rudely to him even though Alvian often ignored him, but Almaira was very patient with a smile, even though her heart was very hurt.
Which wife doesn't get hurt when her husband never cares about her? Moreover, to ignore it, it feels like she is no longer a wife, but an enemy that is often avoided.
Alvian begins to realize, Almaira is the best choice that her mother entrusted to her. The perfect wife with a myriad of accomplishments and extraordinary privileges.
No more loopholes that need to ignore Alvian, certainly Almaira is not guilty only he is the one who has misjudged it.

Alvian slowly kissed back Almaira's forehead and all her beautiful face.
"I can't be a good priest for you yet, but I will try to improve my attitude from now on. Trying never to ignore you back!"
Slowly Alvian covered his wife's entire body while laying down beside Almaira, but in shame Alvian hugged her body into his arms while closing her eyes.
Eventually Almaira was able to fall asleep comfortably in her husband's arms, and Alvian also began to melt into Almaira. His attitude began to be better to Almaira, by trying to accept the presence of Almaira as his wife, in a household life that is not as beautiful as the novel story.
