Me, My Veil & My Soul
Suddenly Must Come Home

In the car.

The two fell silent, speechless, Zain intended to open up his conversation with Mother Princess.

“Mother is married?,” asked Zain.

But suddenly Zain feels misbehaved, he does not realize why the question must be directly on the marriage. Now Zain's face flushed withstanding the embarrassment. Hopefully the princess is not ilfeel.

“Already Sir, I am a widow with one child, my husband has just died,” replied Mother Princess casually.

“Sorry Mom, I don't know,” Zain scratched his non-itchy head.

“It's okay, by the way don't call me Mom, just name me, my name is Princess,” said the Princess who did not dare to look at Zain.

“Oh yes well, Princess,” Zain occasionally looks towards Princess.

“Looks like we are the same age, I can know the name of Mr?.”

“My name is Zain, just call the name,” Zain smiled.

“I just saw you on campus, new lecturer huh?,” asked Princess.

“Throttle once,” Zain replied.

“I graduated Cairo, eating is rarely in this city,” continued Zain arrogantly.

“MasyaAllah Cairo, you mean someone who is very great,” said Putri.

During the trip they kept talking about their personal experiences. But Zain did not say he was married. Zain purposely hid it from the Princess. The princess told me she already has a 4-year-old son.

After arriving at the Princess' house, she was greeted with her young child accompanied by her nanny.

“Mother, who's home?,” said his son call it Fauzan. It was funny as a child in general.

“Is that Dad?,” continued his son pointed to Zain.

“Not dear, let's go first yes, later mother follows,” said Putri.

Fauzan went into the house with his nanny.

“Sorry yes Zain, my son is so, he lost the figure of Father,” said Putri.

“It's okay, just think of me as his father,” Zain smiled.

The princess just smiled.

“I say yes, Assalamu’alaikum,” Zain return.

***

The wall clock shows at seven in the evening, Annisa has prepared dinner for Zain alone, because he has eaten first.

Tok ... tok …

Annisa knocked on Zain's room door.

“Mas, the meal is ready.”

“Iya, I'll be out soon.”

Zain out of the room.

“You made me eat,” said Zain.

Annisa just nodded.

The two of them sat at the dining table, Annisa took water for her and Zain.

“When are you going to wear a veil?,” suddenly Zain asked at mealtime.

“Why is it?,” Annisa starts to feel uncomfortable.

“I'll tell you to wear a veil, why hasn't it been done yet? Shouldn't you obey the husband's orders?,” Zain still continues to eat.

“Not good talking while eating, spend first,” Annisa said.

Zain did not reply, he immediately finished his meal.

“Now it's up, what's your answer?,” asked Zain while drinking water.

“I'm not ready Mas, let me really ready, I don't want to wear a veil just because I have to,” replied Annisa.

“I will obey your orders, as long as it is not that,” continued Annisa.

“Lies, I told you to quit college, but you still continued,” Zain turned his face away.

“You didn't tell me, you only gave me options, I won't charge you my tuition, even if it's your duty,” Annisa both turned her face away.

“If I am polygamous, will you obey my will?,” asked Zain again to discuss polygamy.

Annisa did not answer.

“Have the meal finished? I will return to my room,” replied Annisa standing up from her seat.

“Why not answer? Not want? I wonder at you, do you love me or not?,” asked Zain.

Annisa stopped her steps.

“You ask me like that? Try asking your little heart, do you love me as your wife?,” replied Annisa looking towards Zain.

“I ... I will obviously love you, even if you obey my wishes,” Zain answered nervously.

“You want polygamy? Is that called love? Where possible if you love me you will have polygamy,” Annisa's eyes began to glaze over.

“From the beginning I tried to accept you, I will try to love you, but somehow you never see the sincerity of my heart, I just want to make my parents not disappointed in me, I just want to make my parents not disappointed, but now even I am disappointed with this marriage, as long as I marry you, I only look to your selfishness, you just want all your requests I follow, but you never ask what I want, but you never ask what I want, if like this keeps me depressed, I'm not happy Zain,” continued Annisa, now she starts to shed her tears.

“Which wife is strong to see her husband still have a lover? Actually my heart was broken, I tried to hold it, I was sincere with all the decrees of God, maybe this is my destiny,” Annisa broke into tears.

“Now I am tired of Zain, just give me back to my parents and divorce me, after that, you are free to marry anyone,” Annisa wipe her tears.

He went up to his room.

“Did I force it too much? But why has this heart not fully accepted that she is my wife? Aaarrrrrggghhhh!!!,” Zain went to his room and slammed the door of his room.

*BRUUKKK*

“Hiks ... hiks .. hiks ..” Annisa cried in her room sitting down and her face lowered in her hands.

“Yes Allah, I am no longer strong with this marriage, hiks .. hiks, it seems that Zain is not my soul mate, I sincerely whatever will happen in the future,” Annisa's tears are getting heavier.

“I miss Ambu and Abah, I want to hug Ambu huhuhuhu,” really tight in his chest all this time just poured out now.

Annisa cried continuously, she could no longer hold back, the tightness in her chest was so pronounced.

Now Annisa's position is lying down, but still with sobs.

Until he finally fell asleep, filled with tears on his cheeks as well as his pillow.

*TRING*

One message on Annisa's phone.

Annisa didn't open it because she was still sleeping.

Until eight o'clock in the evening Annisa woke up from her sleep, she remembered not having performed Isya prayers, Annisa rushed to the bathroom to take ablution and perform Isha prayers.

After Isya's prayer, Annisa stood in the mirror, seeing how disheveled her face was.

Eyes moist because of crying, pale face and cheeks that become a little thin.

“This is not Annisa who used to be, Annisa used to be very cheerful not easy to cry, now it is different, this Annisa is more sensitive, she easily cries, her patience also begins to run out, Astagfirullah, why this? Your trials are so heavy Yes Robb, I can only rely on your destiny,” Annisa muttered softly, her eyes back in tears.

Annisa sat back on the bed, checking her phone.

There was one message, it was a message from Ambu.

Annisa opened the message.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Annisa how are you? Ambu misses you, if you can tomorrow you and Ahsan come home yes, there is something that Ambu must convey,” that is about the contents of the message from Ambu.

“Wa’alaikumsalam Ambu, Annisa is fine, Ambu how? Why Ambu? What's the matter?,” Annisa replied to a message from Ambu.

Annisa thinks about what really happened, why Ambu suddenly told her to go home.

After waiting, somehow Ambu did not reply to a message from Annisa.

Annisa immediately called Ahsan.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Kak Ahsan has received a message from Ambu?,” asked Annisa.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, yes already, what is it? Ambu did not answer the phone from Big Brother, it seems after dawn Brother will go home, you how? Can your husband drive you?,” replied Ahsan.

“Don't know, Annisa just come with Sister tomorrow huh?.”

“Bby, later Big Brother pick up home ya.”

Annisa and Ahsan ended the call.

***

At about four o'clock Annisa was up and went to the bathroom, she was preparing to bring her luggage for supplies in the village.

Annisa dropped her things downstairs.

Zain came out of his room, surprised to see Annisa carrying a bag with her clothes.

“Where are you going?,” Zain approached Annisa.

“Ambu told me to go home, I'll go home with Ahsan's sister today,” Annisa didn't see Zain in the least.

“Go home? What was? Why all of a sudden?,” asked Zain.

“Do not know,” replied Annisa briefly.

“I'll drop off yes,” Zain offers.

“No need, I don't want to owe you.”

“Why? I want to come anyway, we just use my car, let Kak Ahsan go with his family, you do not refuse!,” pinta Zain.

Annisa just nodded, she immediately called Kak Ahsan to tell her that she was going to go with her husband.

After the dawn prayer, Annisa and Zain prepared to leave for their hometown.

I don't know why Zain suddenly wanted to drop Annisa off.

Along the way, they both froze and froze. Neither of them intended to open the conversation.

Zain did not want to make Annisa cry again, nor did Annisa want to be made to cry again by Zain.

At about half-time three in the afternoon they arrived.

Ahsan was already in the house of Ambu early. Brother Ahsan's eyes were red as if they were crying. So is Brother Aisyah.

Annisa saw the carpet in the title in the middle of the house, a lot of drinking water scattered. People gathered in front of and inside the house.

Annisa is still confused as to exactly what happened in her house.

Zain held onto Annisa's shoulder. Like strengthening Annisa.

Annisa glanced at Zain, not understanding what he meant.

Annisa's approaching Ambu.

“Ambu, what's the matter? Why so many people?,” Annisa looking around.

“Where is Abah?,” continued Annisa.

Ambu cried bitterly.

“Annisa, you have to be strong yes,” Ambu hug Annisa tightly.
