My husband Santri Idaman
Black Shadow

"What's the first thing now?" abyan asked across the street just after Yumna woke up from her sleep at night and heard a phone call coming in.

"Lagging the teddy bear gave you."

"Same kangen me, huh?"

Yumna nodded even though Abyan could not see her. "When did you come back? I'm afraid to be alone like this."

"Why? Another nightmare?"

"Yes. Actually why have I been having nightmares lately, huh?"

There was no answer from across the phone. A few seconds later, Abyan spoke again. "Why do you pray or multiply dhikr every waking night like this, hem?"

"But I'm afraid. The room was so dark."

"If so, you should turn on the lights."

Yumna's quick movements were carried out to fulfill the advice of her husband. But he screamed in shock when the lights turned on, as if a black shadow was running.

"Astagfirefullah!!"

"Why, Na?" Abyan asked with a troubled look. Now he has changed his position to sit. Farhan, who was in the room with him, woke up to hear Abyan's worried voice.

"What's up, Byan?"

Abyan shook his head, choosing to focus on Yumna. "Na, you're okay, right?"

"I'm scared, Byan. There was a black shadow."

"Huh? Black shadow?" Abyan's forehead wrinkled deeply. Glancing towards Farhan who followed bengong bengong with what happened.

"Yes. Tadi ... I'm really scared."

"Oh yeah, Nana take it easy. It's nothing. It must be just your hallucination. Now a lot of dzikir. Read ayatul kursi. I'll call Abah to ask Umi to see you in the room."

Yumna's body was clutched in a blanket. But he kept nodding his head. Then start reading the verse of the chair according to Abyan's direction.

Abyan called Abah's number. Yumna herself was terrified at this moment. So there was no way the woman would step out of the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Hello!" greet Abah with a heavy voice due to disturbed deep sleep.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Abahs. It's me Abyan."

"Son Abyan? What's up, son?" Abah rose from his sleep to sit when he heard the agitated voice of his son-in-law.

Even Umi who was sleeping, also opened her eyes.

"Change, I want to ask for help."

"Solicit what please?"

"Please wake up Umi to accompany my wife in her room. He's freaking out right now. God willing, I'll be home tomorrow."

"Yumna scared? Why?"

Not yet Abyan gave an answer, the sound of Yumna's cry echoed in the house. Wake up the entire room. And immediately ran to Yumna's room.

"Yumna, Umi!"

"Yes, Abah. Come fast!"

Abyan across the phone got more agitated and turned off his phone. Get up from his seat and then wear a thick jacket.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to go home. My wife's not okay right now."

"you mean? What really happened to my brother?" Farhan also got up. Rushed to fold his blanket and put on his glasses.

"I don't know, Han. But he just yelled."

"Look at the cockroaches!"

"No. He said he saw a black shadow."

"How about black shit?"

"Ah, stop. I don't know either. Now I have to go."

"What do you want to wear these nights for?"

"I'll call Hercules to get me."

"Your big boy?"

Abyan nodded, grabbed the hat on the hanger and put it on, "You want to come or not?"

"You'd better go. Let me explain to the hostel president later."

"alright. I'll go first." Abyan said hello from there. Leave the room in a badboy style.

Yumna trembled in Umi's arms. Even now her cheeks have flooded with tears.

"You're a hallucination time, Na. Wong is nothing here" Zaid chirped as he sat on the side of the bed. Feeling very sleepy, but immediately woke up because of the sound of his sister's scream earlier.

"So Yumna was also a nightmare, Bang."

Umi's hands always gently rubbed her son's back to calm down. Even peeked at Yumna's forehead repeatedly.

"You do not wudu and read the prayer before going to bed, Na. That's why it's a nightmare." Zaid back sloppy. Abah and Umi kept quiet without saying anything.

Yumna remembered what she was doing before going to bed. But apparently, he did all those rituals.

The room atmosphere became quiet. Until the sound of the doorbell rings.

"Who's coming to see you at night like this?" asked Abah who responded to the head and shoulders lifted from Zaid.

"Let Zaid check, Abah." After saying so, Zaid immediately exited Yumna's room and headed for the main door.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said a man outside.

Cklek~

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Abyan?"

"Yes, Bang. How's my wife doing?" ask Abyan to the point.

"He's calmed down with Umi now. Let's go in."

"Good, Bang." Abyan stepped inside the house and immediately headed for his wife's room.

Abah and Umi who saw the arrival of Abyan immediately withdrew and returned to their room. While Yumna immediately entered in the arms of her husband.

"You're coming?"

"Yes. I'm worried about you." Abyan lifted up his wife's body and carried her on the bed. Then lay with him.

"But who did you come here with?"

"Mrs. H."

Yumna's forehead wrinkled. But he did not open his mouth to ask.

"Have you read that chair verse?"

"It has. But still scared. And the creeps."

A sweet smile Abyan gave me. Peeping Yumna's forehead with affection. "Either, if you read it, remember Allah, do not just commute."

Yumna's heart felt very calm despite Abyan's words that seemed insinuating. "Then you read it. Let me calm down."

"All right." Abyan began to recite the verse of the chair with his melodious voice. Yumna even fell asleep so calm.

Abyan's lips slightly lifted upwards. Continuing to repeat his reading. Until he himself fell asleep in a state of still hugging his wife's body.

**

The sound of tahrim mosque was heard echoing throughout the residential area.

Yumna opened her eyes and found her husband still asleep in his sleep.

Yumna's hand lifted and stroked her husband's cheek. As usual, Abyan's fingers will be in his pajamas.

"It turns out you love me so much, huh?" muttered Yumna still stroked the friendly face of Abyan. Look at him lovingly. "It looks like I've really fallen for you."

"So really spared the ex?"

Yumna's eyes faded in shock as Abyan suddenly spoke with her eyes still faithfully closed.

"Bijan! Did you wake up?"

"Yes. The other part also woke up. Don't want responsibility?"

"Huh?" Without waiting for Yumna's approval, Abyan immediately took a position and confined Yumna under him.

"Can't you?"

A big smile Yumna showed. "Do you need to ask permission again?"

"I want to treat you like a Queen."

"Alright, King. Do whatever you want."

"It's okay if I use a new style?"

"What style?"

Abyan drew his face closer and whispered. Yumna's face reddened like a ripe dragon fruit. But then nodded his head.

"As far as you. Just don't be too long. Awakening adhan dawn."

"Don't worry." Abyan began to kiss every inch of his wife's face, unifying her in the style she wanted.
