Me, My Veil & My Soul
Go Home to Ahsan's

“What? Why?,” ask Annisa.

“It's okay, I'll start learning to love you as long as you want to quit college,” replied Zain.

“But you know, if I really want to go to college,” Annisa put on an anxious face.

“I want you to serve me, without having to be bothered by your lecture,” Zain said.

“Why did you break your promise? When your family's proposal allowed me to go to college!,” Annisa stared intently at Zain.

“My family, right? Not me!,” Zain returned Annisa's gaze.

Annisa stood up from her seat and went straight to her room.

In Annisa's room was confused, why did Zain ask Annisa to stop college. Though from the beginning of the intention Annisa came to this city to study. Should I dispute the husband's orders? College was his dream long ago.

Annisa is thinking of going to Ahsan's house.

She tidied up enough clothes and put them in a bag. Don't forget to bring your college books.

Annisa went downstairs, but Zain was still sitting on the chair.

“I say goodbye, will stay at home Kak Ahsan,” said Annisa while carrying a carry bag.

Zain stood up from his seat and was shocked.

“Why? It's been the night of Annisa,” said Zain

while holding Annisa.

“I just want to meet them, let me stay a few days,” Annisa said, she walked to her car and left by then.

Zain pondered, whether he was being too hard on Annisa, actually Annisa was a good girl and also shalah, but somehow Zain still had not moved his heart to fully love Annisa. Moreover, the lover he loved so much had betrayed. Now Zain resigned to the situation, if Annisa is really his match, maybe he will return to her again. Zain also could not force his love for Annisa.

On the road Annisa drove with focus, her eyes began to red and watery, now her cries could not be contained.

“It looks like Abah has mistaken me for a mate,” muttered while wiping away tears.

“What's wrong? Until I quit college? College was my dream, I really couldn't quit college just because Zain,” Annisa kept wiping away her tears.

Arriving at Kak Ahsan's house, the security guard opened the gate for Annisa.

Annisa knocked on the door of Ahsan's house.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” Annisa said.

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” Kak Aisyah opened the door.

He was surprised to find Annisa at night in front of his house while carrying a backpack.

“Annisa,”

Unceasingly Annisa hugged Kak Aisyah, she cried in the arms of Kak Aisyah.

Brother Aisyah brought Annisa in and closed the door.

Ahsan saw Annisa crying in the arms of his wife, he guessed that something had happened to Annisa.

“Annisa, what is it?,” asked Kak Ahsan.

Annisa took off Brother Aisyah's embrace.

“No Brother, I just miss you guys,” replied Annisa while trying to smile.

“You sure it's okay? How's husband? Why come at night?,” asked Aisyah.

“It's okay, he already allows,” replied Annisa smiling.

“I miss my room,” Annisa said.

“Iya, of course, we did not change it one bit,” said Aisyah Kak drove Annisa to her room.

Kak Ahsan seemed to want to ask something but was held back by Kak Aisyah.

Annisa went to her room.

Aisyah came straight to Kak

“Mas confused, why suddenly he came night and night,” said Ahsan.

“Let it go, it looks like something is going on, we will see the development,” said Aisyah.

“Mas is worried that his household will not be long,” suddenly Kak Ahsan makes Kak Aisyah bulge.

“Huusshh, don't say that, we just pray that there is nothing,” said Aisyah.

***

In the morning, Annisa is getting ready to go to college.

Ahsan and Aisyah and her children were having breakfast at the dinner table, as was Adam who was still at Ahsan's house.

Annisa approached them.

“Kak, Annisa can stay here again?,” asked Annisa.

“Yes, this house is always open for you,” replied Kak Ahsan.

Annisa smiled and said goodbye to Kak Ahsan and Kak Aisyah.

Annisa left in her car. Her heart is very heavy, on the other hand she is a wife who must obey her husband, but on the other hand she has ideals that she must achieve.

Arriving at the campus, Annisa saw the atmosphere was very crowded, many people were on the move.

He entered his class.

Today, the new teacher will enter the class. Annisa could already guess that the lecturer was her husband.

Annisa sits next to Yunita, one of her friends.

“Today your husband will start teaching huh?,” asked Yunita.

“Iya,” replied Annisa smiling.

“How does it feel to have a husband of a lecturer and also the owner of a boarding school?,” asked Yunita looking at Annisa curiously.

“Nothing special,” replied Annisa glancing towards Yunita.

“Why?,” Yunita held her chin with both hands while facing Annisa.

“Umm,” Annisa thought, there's no way she's telling Yunita about her household problems.

“Because the special is only martabak and fried rice hehe,” continued Annisa.

“Yeah, I'm serious,” Yunita back to fix her sitting position.

Annisa just smiled.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” Zain comes to class Annisa.

All the students sat down neatly, many female students who continued to praise Zain's good looks and mentioned that Annisa was lucky to get a husband like Zain.

They just don't know the problem that Annisa is having.

They only see from the side of good looks and success Zain alone.

Classes have begun, Zain always stares at Annisa occasionally while teaching.

Unlike Annisa who always turned her face away from Zain.

After class, all students are encouraged to leave the class except Annisa.

“Why?,” ask Annisa.

“Annisa, come back home,” Zain replied while tidying up his things.

“Sure, if you allow me to stay in college,” Annisa doesn't dare look at her husband.

“I will allow you to go to college, on condition that you have to pay your own tuition, without asking me,” Zain said.

“I think you understand religion, understand how the law of a husband who does not support his wife,” Annisa looked at Zain.

“I will still support you, but not with tuition,” Zain propped up with both hands on the table, bringing his face closer to Annisa.

Annisa's away.

“I think you are also a shalah woman who will obey the orders of her husband! Apparently not, you know the law of a wife who does not obey the husband?,” asked Zain smiled cynically.

“I will continue to study with my own money, thank you dear Mr. Zain lecturer,” Annisa out of class.

Zain smiled cynically.

Annisa went to the bathroom.

She was crying in the bathroom, confused by the sizable tuition. What he had to do in order to make money. He couldn't possibly keep asking for Ahsan's help.

Annisa repeatedly wiped away her tears that could not be contained.

Annisa looked at the contents of her wallet.

Now, the money left in his wallet there are two million, even for his daily needs, while the tuition that must be paid by seven million.

But Annisa remembered something, she still kept the dowry from Zain, not a penny he touched.

Annisa opened her savings book. The balance is still 1M.

Annisa intends to wear it, but if it continues to be used without replenishing the balance, the money will run out.

“No, I won't wear it,” he murmured in heart.

Annisa now can only rely on God.

Once calm, Annisa exits the bathroom with a carefree face.

Annisa traced the campus corridor, she was going to the cafeteria because crying made her hungry.

He ordered meatballs and sweet iced tea.

Suddenly Raihan came to Annisa.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” Raihan said.

Annisa surprised.

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” Annisa looking around, afraid of being slandered alone with a person who is not her husband.

“Annisa, why are your eyes puffy?,” asked Zain.

“No.”

“I know, your pretty eyes are not like this, who would dare to hurt you?,” asked Raihan who was still standing.

“No.”

“Annisa, I have broken up with my lover, if you are unhappy, come to me,” said Raihan who surprised Annisa.

“What do you mean!,” suddenly Zain is behind Raihan.

“Casual dong, don't see Annisa her eyes are puffy? That must have been you, right?,” Raihan stared intently at Zain.

“You? Know not now being faced with whom?,” Zain was angry with Raihan.

“You have seduced my wife,” continued Zain.

“You have also hurt your own wife,” Raihan said.

“It is polite to talk to the lecturer!,” Zain take one step closer to Raihan.

“Lecturer?,” Raihan did not know that Annisa's husband was now a lecturer at his campus.

“You want me to report you? Final students, who are not polite to their lecturers also tease the wife of the lecturer, can be removed from this campus,” said Zain.

Raihan.

“Already Raihan, now you go,” said Annisa.

Raihan just left.

“Yeah Brother Zain don't get angry here, look everyone is watching us,” Annisa said calming Zain.

“I don't like ya, if you are still in touch with him,” Zain is angry.

Annisa just nodded.

***

In the afternoon Annisa was playing in the back garden with Adam.

Suddenly Brother Aisyah called Annisa.

Annisa approached Aisyah's sister who was in the living room.

Annisa is shocked by Zain's arrival.

“Annisa, there is Zain to pick you up,” said Kak Aisyah smiled.

“But, Annisa still wants to stay here Brother,” Annisa put on a sad face.

“When you can stay here again, pity Zain has come a long way to pick you up, besides it is not good to leave your own husband,” Brother Aisyah stroked Annisa's head.

Annisa nodded and permission to take care of her belongings.

Annisa says goodbye to Laila, Lisa, and Adam.

Also shake hands with Brother Aisyah.

“Titip greetings for Kak Ahsan ya Kak,” Annisa said.

“Iya, be careful yes Nisa,” Sister Aisyah hugs Annisa.

Annisa smiled returning her embrace.

Zain and Annisa leave in Annisa's car, as Zain leaves for Kak Ahsan's house using an online taxi.

“Why did you pick me up?,” asked Annisa.

Zain, who was focusing on driving, glanced briefly at Annisa.

“At home there is nothing to clean up and cook for me,” replied Zain.

“You can pay ART,” Annisa is upset by Zain's words.

“No, I want you to take care of the house, besides it is your home,” said Zain.

Annisa did not answer.

“Have chosen?,” ask Zain.

“You stay in college with your own money?,” continued Zain.

Annisa did not answer him, she was very confused.
