My Ustadz My Husband
Part 43's

While Bilal was waiting for Asma, his cell phone suddenly rang, and Khadijah was heard vomiting and asked him to go home with a voice that was already weak. Without a second thought Bilal immediately rushed because he was worried if something happened to Khadijah.

On the way home, he called his sister to pick up Asma, while he was going to take Khadijah to the hospital.

At home, sure enough, Khadija already looked like a dying man, and Bilal immediately took her to the hospital. While waiting for the doctor to deal with Khadijah, Dini called and said her husband had an accident while on the way to pick up Asma, but Dini said Mukhlis was not seriously injured, he said, Dini asked Bilal to immediately pick up Asma because it was getting late.

When he was about to call his wife, Bilal was surprised because there were so many missed calls from Asthma and also messages from her, he said, so worried about Khadijah Bilal forgot to realize there was an incoming call on his cellphone.

Bilal tries to contact Asma but his phone is not akitf, he immediately calls Hubab and asks Hubab to look after Khadijah while he will pick Asma to the restaurant.

But when he arrived at the restaurant, he saw their table was cleaned. Bilal immediately asked the waiter about the whereabouts of his wife, the maid said Asma was indeed looking for Bilal earlier, and a few minutes ago, he was out. Bilal searches for Asma around the restaurant but he does not find her. Bilal immediately called his house, and asked Bi Mina if his wife had come home. But Bi Mina says she hasn't come home yet, then Bilal says if Astma comes home, Bi Mina should tell her immediately.

Bilal continued down the road while trying to contact his wife but the results were nil. To his worries began to control his heart, he was afraid of something happening with his wife. Until the sky gets darker and the rain falls heavily, Bilal does not care about it, he continues to look for Asthma. Bilal even yelled at his name, but the roar of lightning and the whirring sound of rain swallowed his voice.

"Zahra, where are you dear"

When Bilal sees a taxi, he immediately stops her and sees who her passengers are, there is no Asthma there. Bilal thinks, if Asma wants to go home, he must take a taxi, but that makes his fear even greater, because Astma's cell phone is still completely unable to be contacted. Bilal starts looking for a taxi that runs towards his house, and whenever he finds it, he will immediately stop it.However Asma is not there, Bilal is looking for it long enough, until he finally thought of another way.

Bilal immediately got into his car and went to the nearest police station, he reported that he lost his wife, so Bilal hoped it would be easier to find Asma. But while listening to Bilal's explanation, the police could not accept his report, because Asthma had only disappeared for a few hours, even though Bilal said his phone was off and it had never happened before, police still could not help him, saying Bilal could report again if his wife did not return within 24 hours.

Disappointed, Bilal went to his house and hoped Asma had come home, while the rain was still so heavy.

But in fact, his wife has not returned. Bilal even nearly cried out of fear if anything happened to his Zahra. Bilal decided he would look for Asthma again, again following every road there. And when the rain began to subside, Bilal walked down the sidewalk that led to a quiet road, he continued to walk. And at that time, he got a call from Bi Mina who said Asma had come home.

Asma did it again, she soaked in the bathtub crying, she tried to stop her crying but could not. When Bilal left him and could not be contacted, he was so upset. And when he knew the reason for all that was Khadijah, Asma felt hurt and sick.

While Bilal remained unmoved from his place, he was still waiting for his Zahra at the door, even Bilal ignored Bi Mina's persuasion to take a bath and change clothes so that he would not fall ill.

Until dawn, Bilal was still in his place, he fell asleep leaning on the door leaf.

"Oh my God, sir, wake up! You sleep here?" Bi Mina tried to wake Bilal up.

"Is it dawn, Bi?" bilal asked while standing up and he felt cramps in his legs and aches all over his body.

"Yes, Sir. Why are you sleeping here? Keep not changing clothes, later the father is sick "cried Bi Mina.

"What do I do, Bi" replied Bilal as he looked back at the door that was still tightly closed.

Inside, Asthma also could not sleep well and she had been awake since. Samar he listened to Bi Mina and her husband's talk, Asma raised his disbelief when he heard Bilal sleeping in front of his room, it was still with his wet clothes.

"Is he crazy?" gumam Asthma.

.

In the morning, Bilal calls Hubab and says he can't get to the hospital, Hubab says it doesn't matter, because Mila is already there.

Bilal does not want to leave Asthma before Asthma forgives him.

Asthma felt a cold heat on her body, it must be because she was rained and soaked overnight, she also felt her feet ache, and when in check, her ankles were swollen. Asma grimaced in pain as her legs were moved, but that did not dampen her intention to go to school, not because she was a diligent student, but because she was a wife who was angry at her husband, who was a student, he wanted to avoid Bilal and Khadijah.

Asma moved her legs very slowly and as she opened the door, Bilal was already waiting for her. The gazes of the two had met, and his second eye was the same as puffy.

"Zahra, listen to my explanation first, dear.please" Bilal asked. Don't listen to Bilal's explanation, just stare at him Asma reluctantly. Asma walked past Bilal, and when Bilal saw Asma limping, he was very surprised.

"Zahra, Honey. What's wrong with your leg?" bilal asked worriedly while trying to stop Asthma from continuing to walk down the stairs very slowly. Asma still did not want to talk, sometimes he grimaced in pain when his legs were moved by force, making Bilal who saw him increasingly worried, without saying anything, Bilal immediately carried Asma ala bridal style.

"Down me, I can walk alone" asked Asma coldly, but Bilal ignored her. Bilal walked slowly down the stairs, then very slowly he sat Asthma on the sofa. He opened the end of the Asma robe and how surprised he found his beloved wife's ankle was swollen and blue.

"Oh Allah, Zahra. Why your feet? Did you fall?"

"It's none of your business" replied Asma coldly and tried to stand up, but Bilal prevented her and forced her to sit back.

"We go to the doctor, baby" said Bilal gently.

"I want to go to school" Asma replied in a piercing tone.

"Today you can't go to school, you take a break"

"Why do you always manage my life?"

"Because I care, Zahra. You're my wife"

"Oh yeah?" Asthma said sarcastically with her slanted smile.

"But you left me"

"Khadija needs me...'

"And me?" ask Asma as she points to herself "I need you too, I need you too, I need your wife, but why do you worry about her always, which you take care of just her, and then what about me?" ask Asma with her glass eyes back.

"Zahra, try to understand... "

"When am I the only one who has to understand?" shouts Asma while standing but the pain in her legs makes her grimace and sit back.

"Agh" groaned as she felt her legs break.

"Zorah..." Bilal helps Asma sit down but Asma brushes Bilal's hand away.

"I never ask you to pay attention to me like you pay attention to him, I never ask for your time as much as he takes your time, because I know fair doesn't mean giving the same, but that corresponds to his portion" Asma looked at Bilal, and somehow in Bilal's gaze Asma could also see the pain in her husband's eyes, but his anger and jealousy made him ignore that "And me, and your duty, too, your responsibility towards your second wife is as great as your responsibility towards your first wife, think of it!" Bilal could only swallow his saliva with great difficulty listening to the very piercing words of Asthma. Now that Asma considered him more important to Khadijah, and showed clearly that Bilal had done injustice to his Zahra, Bilal felt sinful.

Asma tried to stand up again and he was about to leave, but Bilal prevented him.

"Let me treat your feet, Zahra. If you still want to go to school, I will take you" said Bilal Lirih. He no longer knows how to explain to his Zahra and how to get sorry from her.

"That's right, I can do it myself. Maybe your first wife is in need of you now" Asma said very coldly and it hurt Bilal. But when he returned to holding Asthma and put her in the car, then Bilal brought Asthma to the Doctor to check her legs, Asthma just kept quiet. After finishing checking his legs, Bilal escorted Asma to his school.

"Remember the doctor said, don't move your legs too often" he exclaimed and parked his car in the schoolyard, as Asma was about to get off, Bilal again prevented him, he immediately went down and carried Asthma, no matter the Asma who revolted and protested, and also no matter everyone who paid attention to them, he said, Bilal kept walking carrying her into his class and slowly occupied her in his chair. Nora and the others who saw it could only open their mouths wide.

"Nora, please take care of my wife. Her legs are swollen, but she insists on going to school. Don't let him move too often"

"Hey.eh... Yes, Ustadz "answered Nora who was still stunned by the sight she had just witnessed. While Asthma just mengelik annoyed.

"I'll pick you up when I get home from school" Bilal said as he stroked Astma's cheek but Asma immediately dodged, making Bilal only able to sigh deeply and then he immediately went home.

"What's wrong with you?" ask Nora after Bilal leaves

"Fall down" replied Asma.

"I know you must have fallen, but that's not what I'm asking. Why are your eyes soaked? You cry, huh?" Asthma shook her head "But your face told her otherwise, Asthma"

"Just a lack of sleep" replied Asma origin.Nora initially did not believe, but he assured her.

"Oh yeah, how's Ustadz Mukhlis doing?" asked Nora suddenly made Asma confused.

"Ustadz Mukhlis? I don't know, why?"

"Well, your brother-in-law had an accident, you don't know, Neng?" nora asked in surprise, Asma looked surprised to hear that.

"I. I don't know, when was the accident? How's the condition?" ask Asma worried

"Last night, if I knew the condition I wouldn't have gone to you, Neng Asma. I know also from santri desus rumors"

Asma seemed to be thinking about it, and intended that after hours of rest she would visit Dini.

.

.

.

"How's Mukhlis doing?" ask Asthma directly to Dini.

"Small wounds, Asthma. Do not worry" replied Dini "Sorry yes, because of the accident Mas Mukhlis, you so wait a long time"

"What do you mean?" ask Asma did not understand.

"Loh, Bilal didn't tell you that he told Mas Mukhlis to pick you up last night because he had to take Khadijah to the hospital, did he?" dini asked that made Asma more confused, because he did not know if Khadijah was at home or in the hospital.

"I should have seen him this morning" murmured Asma.

"Asma.." call Dini who sees Asthma daydreaming.

"Eh yeah? Why Ma'am?"

"What are you doing, right?" Asthma nodded.

"You must have waited long enough for Bilal to be there?" Asma only smiled faintly as she nodded, there was no way she would tell Dini that Bilal did not pick her up.

But Asma at least knows Bilal did not forget it, but Asma still did not stop to think why Bilal did not wait for him and took him home together. If Bilal did that, then the Early husband would not be in an accident and Asthma would not be picky and rained alone.

For Asma, Bilal is more concerned with Khadija than he is. And thinking about it, again makes the heart of Asthma feel sore.
