My student's my future husband?
Episode 113

Warm sunlight penetrated the thick curtains that dangled from the end of the ceiling of the room to touch the granite floor of the Ferdian dorm room. The man sat his body on a small sofa while facing the flaming television. In his left hand was a television remote, in his right hand he was holding a plate of ceper bread sandwich containing peanut butter and strawberries.

This afternoon he plans to visit the Islamic Center with Ridho, he will attend the first Islamic study in the country Uncle Sam. The Sunday study schedule is held every after the dzuhur prayer. So the two of them will pursue time to be able to pray together there before the study begins.

Ferdian's cell phone rang from the top of the nightstand next to his mattress. The man who was enjoying his simple breakfast, then got out of the chair and picked up his phone, his brother's name was written there. Ferdian was surprised.

"Hello," said.

"Hi Fer, how are you?" ask the heavy voice there, sounding fragile.

"I'm good, Bang! What brother now?"

"The gate is also good" he said, sounding his breath there.

"I heard from Brother. I'm so sad, how is your relationship with Brother Tania?"

"Sorry Brother, Fer! Maybe this is the result of your mistake so far, so this karma appears as a form of punishment God for Brother!" damian said, sounding really sorry.

"That's never wrong for me. If you need a storymate, I can listen," Ferdian bargained.

"Abang really did not expect Fer, Tania would believe the issue."

"What husband?"

"Some if you're playing behind him, with a business partner who worked with our company one year."

"So it's just an issue?"

"Yes. Our homes are fragile. This is all pure fault of Abang who is constantly cold and indifferent to Tania. But I had absolutely no intention of betraying him. Brother loves Tania very much."

"Anything is clear with Tania?"

"He never wanted to see you!"

"Why can you get along again if you can't explain each other?" asked Ferdian completely did not understand the circumstances that happened to his brother. This problem can only be solved if their communication is connected and if they hold each other's trust between each of them.

"That's our problem now, she's already suing for divorce and won't see Brother again! Brother was really confused, because his parents were now in the way. Only her lawyer has been seeing her brother lately for divorce papers. But you don't want to sign there."

"Astaghfirullah.., can't Sister Resha help you?"

"Tania has blocked all our numbers, including her father, mother, and Resha, even her husband."

"If my number?"

"You try it first. I'm sure he blocked everything. Maybe he was too saturated with our marriage, without the presence of children, and without the warmth. Perhaps you should be willing to let go of him," his voice sounded trembling and heartbreaking to Ferdian.

"Don't say that first, Ferdian will help you as much as possible! I'm gonna ask you, what do you want right now?" concluded Ferdian, he believes his brother's marriage can still be saved.

There was a heavy gust of Damian's breath just across the street.

"Abang wants Tania back, Fer!"

"Yes, if so convince yourself to change. Prepare yourself to welcome your wife with a better brother, who can make you both happy. Ask God for help, and I'll help you too!"

"How's Fer?"

"Make a commitment to change, approach God, ask for prayers from father and mother so that everything is smooth."

Silent over there. Damian did not make a sound. He was thinking and pondering what his sister said.

"Okay, Fer! Brother will try."

Ferdian smiled at his brother's reply, though his eyes were glazed over.

"Ferdian will try to help you meet soon. So you don't have to worry. But you have to keep chasing Tania everywhere. Fight him if he really loves him."

"Thank you, Fer, you're gonna try. Thank you for your advice to strengthen Brother. You didn't think my sister was a real grown-up."

"We should strengthen each other, let alone we are both married."

"May your family also always be happy, forgive the brother who kept you apart."

"Nothing Bang, this is our choice as well."

"Alright then, Brother will chase after Tania again. Thank you very much, Fer!"

"Together."

The phone connection was also cut off. Ferdian rubbed his face. He did not expect his brother who he thought was strong, turned out to be fragile when he encountered a strange problem in his household. I don't know what happened until his brother-in-law won't see his brother again. Is indeed the love for his brother has faded along with the cuek nature of the ingrained brother? Her brother's marriage for 10 years is not a short time, Tania is indeed very tough to face her husband. This may be the lowest point of their home. But Ferdian believes, if only their communication and trust could be intertwined again, it would change everything.

Ferdian remembered, has the number been blocked by his brother-in-law or not? He looked up Kak Tania's contact number on his phone and contacted her directly. Ferdian's eyes widened when he found that his number was still connected to his brother-in-law, which is a good sign.

"Assalamu'alaikum," a warm voice came from across it.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Brother Tania?" tanya Ferdian assured her that it was really her sister-in-law.

"What's Fer?" it was true that it was his voice.

"Sister in Bandung, why?"

Ferdian was silent for a moment. He had to tell his brother that Tania was in Bandung.

"Umm, is Brother really suing for Brother's divorce?" asked Ferdian hesitatingly.

Tania sighed.

"You don't know anything, Fer! Brother just wants to make a lesson to your brother!"

"What do you mean?"

"Not just want him to change, that's enough!" brightest. The tone sounds flat and mundane, though with a slight emphasis on intonation at the end of the sentence.

Ferdian was pensive, still not understanding the answer from his brother-in-law.

"Did the divorce not really exist?" ask Ferdian.

"The divorce is there, even being taken care of by lawyers. But your brother was stubborn and would not sign it, and it made you think a thousand times."

"Then why didn't you want to meet her?"

"So don't you just want to know how much he's fighting for our marriage, Fer! Big brother was saturated with his cold and indifferent attitude. Even when Big Brother wanted to tell him the happy news, he remained indifferent. Finally the issue of the affair he and Angel first appeared."

"Happy news?"

"You'll also know yourself Fer!" answer Tania flat.

Ferdian thought hard what the meaning of the happy news said by Kak Tania. Suddenly there was an idea inside his head, which made his heart flower. Is correct?

"Are you pregnant?" guess Ferdian was anxious.

There was no answer from Tania when the question was issued.

"Sister!" call Ferdian.

"See if you go home later?" abugn.

Ferdian jerks his bed irritated. Why wasn't he told.

"I want to ask you, brother! Why didn't you block my number? Bang Damian said you blocked all our numbers?"

Tania chuckled a little from there.

"Because you're different, Fer! You're rich, my own brother, and I believe you are also Ajeng."

Ferdian smiled broadly behind his phone that he was holding.

"Is there still a chance for you to unite, brother?" ask Ferdian seriously.

Silence there for a few seconds.

"If your brother is still trying, Brother will appreciate his efforts. But..., otherwise, it's better just like this!"

Ferdian breathed his heavy breath, after he held it in as his brother-in-law replied. There's still an opportunity Damian shouldn't waste on his wife.

"Okay, thank you very much! I thought, brother will keep fighting for Brother Tania back."

Tania just laughed a little.

"Hopefully, but Big Brother won't expect much from the man."

"We'll see, brother!"

"okay!"

"If so, I say yes, brother! Thanksmeme it! Assalamu'alaikum...."

"Wa'alaikum...."

Ferdian put his body in bed. He breathed his breath. It turns out that it is complicated to also face a couple who are in trouble like this. He only wished the best for his brothers. If even her brother-in-law was really pregnant, she hoped that her brother was serious to restore the household to harmony again. So that their children do not become the first victims of the separation of their parents. If so, the child's future can be difficult.

Hopefully, the house itself is not a problem. It takes commitment and mutual trust between two people, especially when the distance becomes a barrier like this, then the trust must be increased many times. Likewise, communication between them should not be interrupted and should be open to each other. That is the key to household harmony that he has learned so far.

He missed his wife and hoped he would never leave her again. In that case, he would have forced his wife to follow him anywhere, so that there would be no vacuum between them.
