My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 39

Hubab still looks wrong when dealing with Bilal, unlike the case with Bilal who seems ordinary, he is not used to hate and angry for a long time. Currently, the two friends are enjoying a cup of coffee while talking about their work.

Actually, Hubab still feels very guilty because he accidentally crossed his line, and that makes him more guilty, because until now he still imagined the face of the wife of his best friend, no wonder Bilal fell in love with Asma, he thought. Hubab felt he had sinned, but he did not know how to get rid of his feelings. What he hoped for, he could control his feelings and not backfire in their friendship.

Nora watched Asma while holding her chin with her palm.

"Is every woman married like that?" he asked after a long time he noticed Asma who continued to smile with an indistinct smile.

"What do you mean?" Asma asked not understanding Nora's intentions.

"A day of frowning, a day later a smile. Yesterday was like a heartbroken person, today is like a person in love, you are in love huh?"

"Astaghfirullah, yes, no" cried Asma.

"Come on, Athaghfirullah. Thank God dong" replied Nora "As long as she falls in love with her husband, she should be grateful "

"Ck, by the way what the hell are you "Disputed Asthma. she does not feel in love with her husband. But somehow, when Bilal revealed his love last night and stared at it intensely, Asma seemed to feel in the middle of the flower garden with butterflies flying freely, as if she was in the middle of a flower garden, so beautiful and even though it was not the first time Bilal expressed his love or stared at her like that, but this was only the first time Asma felt something strange, something strange, like there's thousands of butterflies flying in her belly. And his heart was pounding, why only now did he feel this beautiful feeling, thought Asthma.

"Aspie...." Nora shook Asthma's body which looked dreamy...

"Eh.. huh... why?" ask Asma in the fog.

"No, you're actually in love like that"

"Ck. Enga, it was just that. Abi remembered the same Ummi, kangen" replied Asma lying.

"If same husband kangen hgga?"

"Yes, wong every day meet" Asma lied once again, her heart clearly denied what her lips said.

At home, Asma pressed the bell, but no one opened the door, but Khadijah said he was not going anywhere all day. Once again Asthma pressed the bell, but there was still no answer. When he tried to open the door, he was surprised because his door was unlocked, could it be that his honey was going out, he thought. He also entered while greeting whether there is or no one, it is always taught by his parents, say hello when entering the house.

"Mr...." Finally he called his honey brother because he saw the tv on. But there was no answer, Asma threw her backpack on the sofa and she went to the kitchen.

"Yes Allah.... Ma'am...." Asma screamed in shock at seeing Khadijah lying on the floor unconscious. Many times Asma tried to wake her up but to no avail, she became panicked and scared, she even to the point of crying herself.

Asma immediately contacted Bilal but was not answered, making Asma more frightened. Once again he contacted Bilal, and there was still no answer. Finally Asma prefers to call Ambulance rather than something with Khadijah.

Bilal runs in the hospital hallway looking for his wife's room, he sees Asma who is still in her school uniform pacing back and forth and he seems to be crying out.

"Honey.." call Bilal when he was in front of her. saw Bilal who came, Asma immediately breathed a sigh of relief but he also looked upset.

"Where's your phone, huh? I called you many times"

"Yes.sorry.sorry..." Bilal hugged Asma because his wife was panicking "You're crying?" Bilal asked while rubbing the corner of Asthma's eyes.

"I was afraid" shouts Asma in Bilal's arms.he was really scared when he saw Khaidjah who was pale and unconscious like a corpse.

"Shhhtt, what's wrong. Khadijah was good" Bilal tried to calm his young wife. Then Doctor Fina came out of Khaidjah's room.

"Doctor, how's Khadija?" ask Bilal to worry. Doctor Fina even glanced at Asthma, then he rubbed the Asthma head gently like a child.

"She's fine" Doctor Fina told Asma, somehow she couldn't bear to see Asma crying since taking Khadijah earlier "She's been crying since, very panicked and scared" Bilal looked at his little wife, he felt guilty because there was no time when his two wives needed him "Oh yes, Khadija was conscious" Bilal and Asma immediately entered to see the state of Khadijah, Khadijah, Khadija still looks very weak.

"Doctor Fina said you were crying?" ask Khadijah weakly. Asma did not answer, she pulled up a chair and sat down beside the ward.

"What's the situation now?" ask Asma later.

"He must be fine, it's common for someone with the disease, Zahra. Don'worry. Khadijah will be fine" Bilal said

"Maybe it's the first time he's seen a dying man, Mas" Khadijah continued, smiling.

Then Doctor Fina came and called Bilal to speak.

"Bilal, actually Khadija is not very good" said doctor Fina felt sad, making Bilal immediately bowed lethargic.

"What should I do, Doc?"

"I've spoken to Elyara. He'll tell me as soon as possible." Bilal sighed heavily "Don't despair, Bilal. You have to stay strong for your wife" he continued.

"I watched Khadija like that, as if every second she passed was just waiting for her death"

"The miracle is Bilal, with prayer and effort, isn't it? And if you have not yet obtained the miracle, then it must be because there is another miracle that God is preparing for you"

"God willing, may Allah give us the patience to undergo this test"

"Khadija will be hospitalized first here, until the results of today's examination come out, hopefully he will improve"

"Thank you, Doctor"

Bilal sends Asma home to his Ummi home because tonight Bilal will stay at the hospital to look after Khadijah. There they were welcomed by Bilal's brother-in-law, Dini. Because his Ummi is following his Abi out of town.

Dini escorted Bilal and Asma to Bilal's room there.

"If you need anything, just tell me, Asthma. Don't hesitate, okay"

"Thank you, Ma'am" replied Asma then Dini out.

"Darling..." Bilal sat Asma on the edge of the bed, while he knelt in front of her, clasping her hand "What are you doing here?" Asma just nodded with a faint smile "Tomorrow I'll call you, okay? And I'll pick you up after your lesson is over" Asthma once again just nodded. He was still not too close to Bilal's extended family. Actually it feels like he just went with Bilal to the hospital, but Bilal had explained at length that he did not want Asma to be in the hospital, but, in addition to not being comfortable and unlikely to be able to sleep well, Bilal also did not want Asthma to miss lessons.

"I go first" Bilal kissed Asthma.

"Heart" said Asma slowly who returned a smile and caress on his cheek by Bilal.

After Bilal left, Asma walked through the room. He saw some pictures of Bilal from yy as a child, teenager, to adulthood.

"He was handsome from there it turned out" murmured Asma. He saw some of Bilal's belongings but none of them saw Khadija's stuff there, leading Asma to ask if they had never occupied the room.

.

.

"Mas.." call Khadijah who since then he paced back and forth while trying to call Asma but not answered.

"Where is he? I told you I'd call him" Bilal murmured between annoyance and worry.

"Mas, Asma didn't take her to school"

"But it's been a break, he should have gone back to the room" Bilal said as he tried to contact his wife. But suddenly Khadijah took Bilal and put him on the table.

"Think about Asthma, Mom. There are many people, and he must be busy studying and also spending time with his friends" said Khadijah in a slightly upset tone.

"Well, later after the lesson is over, I'll pick her up, let her be with you here, I have to go to the office"

"Think" replied Khadijah "I mean I. kasian him if you have to go back to the hospital. Let him stay at Ummi's house until I get home" Bilal nodded in agreement, Khadijah said.

As her lessons aged, Asma immediately ran a little towards her room, she was sure Bilal must have called her. Asma deliberately still does not bring a cell phone to his school, because he does not want to look different from other students, the ban for them also means a ban for Asthma no matter who Asthma is.

Sure enough, there were some missed calls from Bilal as well as from his Ummi. But Asma prefers to call Bilal first.

"Assalamualaikum, dear " said Bilal from across the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam, are you going to pick me up?" ask Asma directly

"Em actually now I'm in the office again. You don't want to go to the hospital"

"But why? Keep looking after Mbak Khadijah who?"

"There was Mila there, you were at Ummi's house until Khadijah was allowed to go home "heard that, Asma looked disappointed. "But then I'll be home from the office, okay?"

"Hmm" replied Asthma

"What's up, honey?" bilal asked as if he felt the disappointment of his wife

"What's up" replied Asma lazily trying to understand Bilal's position.

"Well, I have to get back to work"

"Yes"

After saying hello, Asma immediately hung up his phone and then he made a video call with his mother, he chatted long enough with his two sisters and also his favorite nephew Yasmin. Asthma really misses them. They ask why Asma is not at home, Asma tells that Khadijah fell ill and was hospitalized, while Bilal's housekeeper is returning home, so there is no way Asthma can stay at home alone.

.

.

.

After his return from the office, Bilal was already preparing to meet his young wife, all day he did not meet and did not hear her voice directly, and it made Bilal really miss her. But suddenly Khadijah called him and sent Bilal directly to the hospital. Bilal who was worried that something happened with Khadija immediately turned around.

While Asma, he waited for Bilal while spending time with Bilal's two nieces are very adorable. Rayhan and Laila, then Dini came to them.

"You're great, Asthma. Usually they are difficult to get close to strangers, but you can already get close to them"

"Maybe it's because I like kids, ma'am. I'm also close to Yasmin, Adil's son"

"That's great, Asthma. I hope you soon have a baby" said Dini lightly. But make Asthma feel wrong. He likes children, he thought. But to have his own child, not a second his mind was scattered there.

"Why?" ask Dini who saw Asma's expression "you're not ready yet?" Asma only smiled thinly but it looked like a ringing "Can be understood anyway, you are still in school" said Dini later and he seemed to feel guilty because of what he said. What else Asma is still a teenager, of course he can not think of children.

.

.

.

Even until the end of the night, Bilal has not come, making Astma feel disappointed. Asthma sent a message why she didn't come. And Bilal called him right away.

"Dear, sorry, tonight I can't come. Khadijah asked me to accompany him" of course Bilal's answer was very striking in Astma's heart he felt jealous, disappointed and sad. But he could do nothing, he thought maybe Khadija really needed him.

"Yes, tonight I sleep in the dormitory with Nora. I'm also going to study at night"

"Yes, what not. Tomorrow I'll be there, maybe tomorrow Khadija can go home"

"Hmm. yes already. I want to study with others" said Asma.

"Yes, but you feel comfortable there?"

"I was playing with Rayhan and Laila"

"Oh yeah? Zahra, don't make them listen to music, okay? They are currently memorizing the Quran. Music can interfere with his rote" Asma smiled at Bilal's words, it reminds her of her brother who always asks Asma to keep Yasmin away from music but sometimes Asma is still naughty and makes Yasmin listen to music.

"Yes yes, besides how dare I make them listen to music, can I be angry with his mother" replied Asma. There was the sound of Bilal's little laugh across the phone.

"Zorah..." Suddenly Bilal called Asma in a soft voice.

"Yes?"

"I really miss you, baby" said Bilal who made Asma's heart gasp. Deep in his heart, he also missed Bilal, not seeing him all day, no differences and quarrels, inexplicably he felt there was something lacking in his life without it all.

"I.." Asma had not yet answered, he suddenly heard the voice of Khadijah calling Bilal.

"Darling, later I call again yes" said Bilal then who managed to return to make Asma's heart disappointed.

"Yes" replied Asma and immediately disconnected her phone.
