Marrying a Muslim Woman
Chapter 8. Died
Almaira tried to try to say something to her husband, "Mas, forgive Maira ... Mother cannot be saved. I-Mommy died, huh."
"What's? This can't be happening! Mom must be okay, right? Almaira you must be kidding me," a spiteful Alvian who did not believe everything that Almaira had just said.
"No Mas! Mother is no longer in this world" said Almaira helplessly staring at her husband's face.
Seeing the seriousness of Almaira's speech. As Alvian's body went limp, Alvian was powerless to know the fact that so much pain was piercing his heart. Such a great hope quickly disappeared, and there was no hope for Alvian to see his mother.
Almaira's family is saddened, especially Ahlan's father who feels so distrustful of his wife's death.
Seeing Alvian who was so limp as if there was no hope anymore, Ahlan's father immediately approached his son.
"Alvian you are patient ... I know you're so disappointed in all this reality."
"Didn't you feel lost?" alvian asked as he looked at his father's face.
"Dad is just like you, Dad feels lost and right now my heart is so sick to accept your mother's reality. However, I know your mother was called first because Allah SWT is very dear to Mother. So Alvian had to rise. I'd be very happy if you would just let my mother go quietly."
Alvian still could not accept his mother's departure with as much as possible Ahlan's father persuaded his son, until Alvian could feel calmer.

Abi, ummi and the Almaira brothers, are told by Ahlan's father to stay for a while tonight at his house. Alvian and Almaira are also told by Ahlan's father to go home and Ahlan's father will remain in the hospital.
They both obey Ahlan's father's will to return to Alvian's house and Almaira's family. Upon Alvian's arrival, Almaira and the Almaira family are in Alvian's house. The servants had welcomed him so well and had already prepared a place for the Abi Zaenal family.
Alvian with his own face walking in front of his wife. Almaira who saw her husband had no spirit at all, chose to quietly follow her husband until in the room Alvian which is now the room of the two of them. Even in the room Alvian did not care about the whereabouts of Almaira, and breezed away just like that into the bathroom.
Almaira felt so ignored by her husband and she thought, maybe her husband was still shocked by the death of his mother so he did not care about her.
A few minutes later Alvian came out of the bathroom wearing a towel wrapped around his waist. Almaira's eyes were perfectly rounded when she saw her husband like that, immediately Almaira turned her face to the side. Now Almaira walked over to a closet and prepared clothes for her husband.
Alvian just kept quiet with the treatment of his wife who well take care of all his needs.
"You can sleep on the bed there, I'll sleep on the couch" Alvian said flatly.
Almaira frowned, hearing all the words that came out of her husband's mouth. Almaira began to think differently of her husband. Why sleep in a separate place? They're already husband and wife. Did her husband not accept her? A lot of questions came from Almaira's head.
Almaira chose silence and obeyed her husband's will. She tries to get rid of all the bad thoughts towards her husband, it may take some time alone to calm her mind, Almaira starts thinking positively.
The night that was supposed to be the first night for the couple, instead became a night filled with grief and sadness.
