My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 13
"Asma hasn't come out yet?" Aisyah who helped Bi Ida make breakfast turned her head to hear her Abi voice. Aisyah shook her head and refocused on her work.
"Aisha, you're the closest to Asma, try talking to her, son. And from last night he hasn't eaten"
"Free Bi, Asthma is currently in a condition that you might listen to anyone "
"But Asiyah, Abi was really worried. He looks very angry"
"Didn't Aisyah warn Bi? We all know Asma well, Abi remember when Mbak Aqilah got married? When the age of Ma'am Aqilah is 22 years old, and Asthma asks a lot of questions, why should be betrothed? Why marry young? Why do you have a career first, and such. And so when Aisyah got married, she also questioned the same thing, from there we already know Asma is different from us, she does not like being married and arranged her life, and from there we know Asma is different from us, he's got his own world Bi. What's more now that he's only 18, he's definitely still wanting to enjoy his life "
"Aisha... Is it time to bring that up, son? Aisyah knows why Abi made that decision?"
"Aisyah knows, but still it can't be justified... "Aisyah put down the knife that she held roughly, she immediately came out of the kitchen with an upset face, she also did not want to be betrothed at that time, he also did not want to be in a match, but he did not have the courage to say that to his Abi, Aisyah understood very well the feelings of Asma now. When stepping out, Aisyah was surprised to see Khadija who was standing in the kitchen doorway, Khadija looked pale and limp.
"Khadija.. I have no intention of offending you" after saying that, Asiyah immediately passed and was about to go to Asma's room, she happened to see Yasmin who was eating pudding in the family room. Aisha approached Yasmin.
"What are you eating?" ask her softly
"Oreo chocolate pudding, Auntie "scoffs her while feeding a spoonful of pudding into her mouth.
"Emm Yasmin would like to share the same pudding with Auntie Asma?" Yasmin glanced at the rest of the pudding.
"But Yasmin was not full of aunts" he exclaimed, which made Aisyah laugh.
"In the refrigerator is still there, Auntie get it yes, Yasmin later take it to Aunt Asma's room. How's it?" Yasmin nodded in agreement. Aisyah immediately returned to the kitchen and took the pudding, she drove Yasmin to the front room Asma.
"Knock the door" whispered Aisyah. Yasmin followed his aunt's orders.
"Attante Asthma.... Auntie want some pudding?" after waiting for a while, there was no reply from Asthma. Aisyah asks Yasmin to do it once more. But there is also no answer. Aisyah's heart began to rise to worry, fearing that Asma would run away again.
Aisyah banged on the door of Asma while shouting her name.
"Asma, you're still inside, right? Open the door to the Deck!"
"Asma, don't make Mbak worry dong"
"Asma, buk. "the open door arrived to make Aisyah breathe a sigh of relief.
"What the heck Ma'am, disturb people to sleep only" Asma grumbled while yawning. He let Aisha into his room. Aisyah who saw the state of Asthma's room that was like a broken ship can only open her mouth wide.
"What are you doing with your room, Dek?" asked Aisyah while she wanted to clean up her room, but Asma forbade her. Yasmin who also entered was equally surprised to see the state of Asthma's room. He walked past the stuff scattered on the floor.
"Yes Allah... Aunt Asma, why is aunty's room destroyed like this? Was there an earthquake? or is there a thief?" Yasmin handed the plate containing the pudding to Asma, Asma took it but was reluctant to eat it, he still looked disappointed and his eyes were swollen. He must have been crying all night.
"It wasn't an earthquake, Yasmin, honey. But the earthquake of life "
"What is an earthquake of life?" asked Yasmin innocently. Asma had opened her mouth to answer but Aisha immediately interrupted.
"Now Yasmin went to play" Yasmin nodded and ran out of Asthma's room.
Aisyah sat down beside Asthma and embraced her shoulders.
"Bak understand your feelings, Dek"
"It's not a small thing, Ma'am. Asthma knows how Abi can make such a big decision without talking to Asthma. Mbak knows that Asma is really ready to run a relationship, what else is marriage" Asma again shed her tears. Aisyah let Asma cry, hoping that the cry could calm her down a little.
"Dec... Mbak ngerti, Mbak also hgga nerima mas Farhan, but over time, Mbak can accept it, and even now Mbak loves it very much"
"Yes different from Aisyah. Ust... I mean he... He loves his wife, and vice versa. How can I love someone who loves someone else?"
"Asma, actually Bilal loves you too"
"A blank among" Asma refuted Aisyah's word quickly "Who said that?"
"Abi, Ummi, Bilal and even Khadijah also know Bilal loves you"
"That doesn't make sense" cried Asma in disbelief "Sir, that man has only one heart, and that one heart can only love one person"
Hearing that Aisyah could only sigh, she did not know how to tell Asma and anyway for now, Asma would not believe anything she said.
"Don't judge people recklessly, Asthma." Aisha warned him.
"I don't judge her, I just...."
"An accusation?" Asma and Aisyah turned to the voice, There was Bilal standing from when, Asma looked so upset at Bilal's presence.
"I don't accuse" replied Asma with a ketus.
"Other than recriminate, non-judgmental, what is his name, Zahra?"
"That's the truth, isn't it? Ust...You ... You're a man who can't be grateful, evil, and selfish. Do you try less Mbak Khadijah until you have to dua him? What's wrong until you hurt her? Most men are like that, right? Never satisfied with what he has?"
Bilal could only sigh heavily accepting all those Asthma allegations.
"Are there any other charges, Zahra?" His question made Asthma even more upset.
"There's a fraud, a liar" Asma said her words were full of repression and hatred.
"anyone more?" Asma was upset but did not answer "Asiyah I want to talk alone with my wife" Bilal exclaimed to Aisyah, making Aisyah immediately move and want to leave, even Asma who tried to prevent it could not.
"He's your husband, Dek. He has more rights over you than anyone else" Asiyah said then left Asma, looking very upset. What's more hearing the word 'he's your husband' wants it to feel Asma screaming as loud as possible. But he chose to silence and avoid the gaze of Bilal who had been staring at him as if he would devour him alive.
"Whether it's better to get out of my room, I don't want to listen to anything" he said.
"But you have to listen to me, Zahra. Until when are you going to keep going like this and not let anyone say anything"
"I don't care"
"You should care, now you're my wife"
"I don't want to be your wife"
"Unfortunately, it won't change reality and it won't affect our marriage" Asthma covered her ears with her palms
a wedding?
Those words were like a dagger piercing his heart. Bilal tries to keep Asthma's hand away from her ear, but Asma brushes her away
"Don't touch me" she shouted, frustrating Bilal.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? What's wrong with this wedding? I love you, Zahra. I really love you, I married you because I love you so much. I've loved you since I first saw you, I've loved you from that moment onwards "
"SILENCE....!!!" zahra shouted that immediately made Bilal speechless. Asma picked up Bilal's beads that were still lying on top of a container, she pulled the beads until they were cut off, and the beads fell on the floor. Seeing that, Bilal was very surprised and completely unexpected, he stared at the nanar on the bead that was scattered around his feet. Then he looked at Asma full of wounds.
"Like that, you destroyed me and your wife. How can a man who already has a partner and is bound to the sacred bond of marriage love another woman? don't you think about your wife's feelings and mine?" after saying the stressed word, Asma walked past Bilal who was still silently sculpting. Until the footsteps of the voice of Asthma is no longer heard.
Bilal started picking up the beads one by one, his heart ached, and his ego was hurt. He gave the prayer beads to Asma with love and affection. But as rough as it was Asma dumped him. In fact, Bilal's hand trembled as he picked up the bead. And when the sound of footsteps approached, Bilal thought it was Asthma.
"Why returned? Do you feel guilty, Za...... Khadija?" He found Khadijah who was looking at him glare. Without saying a word, Khadijah helped Bilal pick up the bead. "Let me, Khadijah "
"What the hell, I'm helping." Khadijah and Bilal collected the prayer beads after Bilal counted them. "Are 99 grains enough?" Bilal shakes.
"97 grains" Bilal and Khadijah also looking for the rest of the beads, Bilal prone and looking under the bed "Here "cries while trying to reach the chocolate bead. After trying hard, he was able to reach her.
"Let me just keep on going, Mas" exclaimed Khadijah and revealed a forced-looking smile.how not? Khadijah once asked Bilal for the beautiful prayer beads, but Bilal said Khadijah could wear them but the prayer beads remained Bilal's, as the prayer beads were his teacher's gift in mecca. But apparently, Bilal gave the prayer beads to Asma. jealousy tickled Khadijah's heart. But he quickly pulled it off.
"What the hell, Mas can connect by himself really" cried Bilal and went from there with the prayer beads with his wounded heart, Asthma's treatment on him was so painful.
While Khadijah, only able to look at the back nanar Bilal who continues to step without even turning his head in his direction. One tear escaped the corner of his eye, but he quickly wiped it.
"You'll get your love, Mas. I promise"
