My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 58

Unlike his previous journey, where Asma only kept silent with his flat expression when Bilal brought him home, now Asma and Bilal talk about many things, Asma never even let go of his hand from Bilal's hand, and while on the plane, he always leaned his head on Bilal's shoulder.

At the airport, the driver who was told to drive Bilal's car was waiting, and when he saw Bilal and his wife, the driver immediately approached him and handed him the keys.

"Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?" ask the driver to Bilal.

"There is, Uncle. Thanks yeah, oh yeah Uncle what's up to his house?"

"Back with Arip, sir. That's him waiting in the front parking lot"

"Oh so, yes already. Be careful" Bilal said, then he took his wife out.

"Why are you driving by yourself?" ask Asthma when she is in the car.

"I want to take you specifically somewhere, baby" said Bilal and began driving the mobi, Asma nodded her head while oh ria, she remembered Bilal said he would show her something.

"Bilal.." call Asthma while looking at her husband.

"What's up, Zahra?"

"Did I disappoint you?" ask Asma arrived which made Bilal glance at him.

"You mean?" her question doesn't understand.

"I heard what Ummi was talking to you earlier, about.baby" Asma said very quietly at the end of her sentence.

"Hmm, then? Why should I be disappointed in you, honey? I understand you're too young to have a baby"

"Yes, that's right. I don't want a baby, but I'm not ready to be a mother, I don't ever take care of you and I can't take care of myself, so how can I take care of a baby?" Asthma said as if she felt guilty. Asma is sure Bilal is expecting a baby from her, what else he has been married for years and has not had a baby.

Bilal stroked Astma's cheek with his left hand while his right hand was still on the steering wheel of the car, he glanced at Asma and flashed a smile as if to let her know that it was not a problem at all.

"I understand, Honey. No matter what, we're just starting our relationship now, so let's enjoy this togetherness, okay?" Asthma nodded and breathed a sigh of relief because her husband could understand her.

"Bilal, you said you wanted to take me somewhere, but this is the way home"

"I know, this is the way home, Zahra"

Bilal brought Asma into the area of a housing estate that was behind in his boarding house.

"Why are we here?" ask Asma while looking at the house he passed.

"Bring you home" said Bilal who made Asma more confused and curious. Then Bilal stopped his car in front of a house he was working on and looked like it was about to be finished. Bilal and Asma came down while staring at the big house.

Then a middle-aged man came up to Bilal and said his greetings.

"Allalamaic, Ustadz. Long time no check his house huh, has Ustadzah Khadijah been undergoing treatment?" ask the man who seems to know Bilal well.

"Yes, Alhamdulillah Khadijah is improving, just pray Uncle, Uncle how are you?"

"Very good" replied the man then he looked at Asthma "And you must be her princess. Zahras? Right?" Asthma frowned because of the wonder how the man could know her.

"Zahra he's Great Uncle, he's taking care of the construction of our house"

"Our house?" ask Asma did not understand. Bilal nodded and took Asthma by the hand and brought her in.

"Pronounce Bismillah and greetings, first your right foot before entering the house" pinta Bilal who made Asma smile and he followed the orders of her husband although still confused.

"Bilal, I don't know what you really mean" Asma said after she stepped in through the main door.

"What do you think, Zahra? I just married you without thinking about and preparing for your future?" ask Bilal who makes Asma more confused "Darling..." Bilal looked at Asma "When I decided to marry you, I was thinking about and preparing for your future, I built this house specifically for you, I designed it myself. At first I thought I would bring you here only when this house can be occupied, but like waiting for that time is too long"

"So you mean I'll stay here?" Asma asked half in disbelief but he looked pleased.

"We, and our children" replied Bilal who made Asma feel moved and also did not believe it turns out Bilal had thought about many things about his "I'm sorry, because I can not

getting you to this house faster, it took a long process to build this house"

Bilal said regretfully, he was indeed a man, but he understood his woman's feelings. He knew one day one of his wives would ask to separate. Bilal just did not expect, as soon as Asma asked to separate the house, but all this time he saw all was well between him and Khadijah. Khadijah treats Asthma very well and vice versa.

"Thank you, and there's no need to apologize" Asma said, hugging Bilal. And Asma immediately let go of his embrace when she heard the Great Uncle who cleared his throat and was behind them earlier.

"Ehem ahem's. When I'm done, will I show you every side of the house? Or Ustadz himself will take his Princess around the palace?" said the Great Uncle who made Asthma blush. Bilal could only smile whenever he saw his wife blushing.

"Uncle can go back to work, I'll take Zahra around the house" Bilal said. "Oh yeah, how much longer is this gonna be over?"

"In the meantime, it's been a little longer than I thought, Ustadz. Because we added a fish pond"

"Fish pool?" ask Asma enthusiastically. Bilal smiled happily to see his wife so enthusiastically.

"Yes, Zahra. I used to not know you like fish, but once I found out, I immediately asked my great uncle to make it in the middle of the garden"

"There's a garden too?" ask Asma again.

"Yes, your tiny little garden, Princess "interrupted by Great Uncle. Asthma chuckled softly because the Great Uncle had always called him Princess.

"Later to see the garden, now we see our home first" said Bilal who immediately agreed to Asma. Then they walked in and when they were inside, the house was much larger than it looked from the outside.

"Bilal, don't you think this house is too big if it's just for us?" ask Asma.

"Engga, Honey. We will have children later. And children need a spacious house, so they are comfortable" listening to the words of children, Asma again felt guilty because he could not give what Bilal really wanted.

"Yes, children will love a spacious house" said Asma to please her husband.

Then Bilal began to show the entire house, starting from the living room, kitchen, special family room and musholla which is between the living room and family room. Bilal said he deliberately made the mushalla between the living room and the family room, so that if there are guests, they still have privacy, there are two rooms below, and 3 rooms above.

And right now, Bilal is taking Asma to the room they're going to occupy upstairs. Asma stared in amazement at the room which of course had a large window.

"Yes, I really like her. Thank you" said Asma pleased.

"Well, now let's see what I've prepared outside the house for you" Bilal exclaimed and took his wife down the stairs, then he walked out through the back door, and Asthma was surprised by the pool there. Not only that, in the yard next to his house, Bilal deliberately made a simple garden and also a swing, while in his village, Bilal often saw Asma spend time on his swing.

"You can listen to your music or read your novel, or you can study here, as you often do at home"

"Perfect" exclaimed the happy Asthma.

"But remember, Zahra. When T We have a child later, I don't want him to listen to music since childhood, I want him to be Hafidz" he exclaimed seriously.

another AnakT, think Asthma. If Bilal continues to talk about the child it will certainly make Asthma also want her to think Asthma, because she certainly does not have the heart of her husband

"And here, your fish pond" he continued.

Some of the workers greeted Bilal and Asma, they said their greetings and asked about Bilal's situation, and to Asthma's surprise, they greeted Asma by calling Princess Zahra.

"Why do they call me Princess Zahra" Asma asked her husband.

"I also don't know" said Bilal because he did not know the reason they called Asma as Mr. Princess Zahra. The Great Uncle who heard Asthma's question approached him and answered Asthma's question.

"Because Ustadz Bilal used to say your name here, he said this house is specifically for Zahra, he also said he wanted his house to be painted blue because blue is Zahra's favorite color, make a garden and put a swing because Zahra likes to spend time on the swing, make a fish pond because Zahra likes to keep fish" Asma laughed at Uncle Agung's long answer and he looked at Bilal who only smiled faintly.

"Hmm is that really?" asma asked while nudging Bilal with his shoulder and he smiled seductively at Bilal. Bilal just put his shoulder straight.

Meanwhile, Khadijah was already impatiently waiting for the arrival of her husband. He misses Bilal a lot, two weeks is a long time for him.

At the sound of Bilal's car, Khadijah immediately ran to open the door and welcomed the arrival of her husband and honey.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am. How are you?" said Asma who somehow felt stiff in front of Kahdijah.

"Greetings, good mother, you?" ask Khadijah who also looks stiff.

"Very good" replied Asma then he walked in through Khadijah.

"Where are you?" bilal asked gently while kissing his wife's forehead.

"Much better" replied Khadijah and took Bilal's hand.

Asthma was surprised when Hubab arrived and was in front of him, Hubab who had not seen Asma was surprised, and Hubab saw like there was a change in Asthma.

According to Hubab, the girl looked more mature and more beautiful. Though they had only two weeks without seeing each other, Hubab wondered how Asthma had changed in just two weeks.

"Hey Bab.." said Bilal who immediately made Hubab aware of his daydream and it turns out Asma had gone up to his room. Hubab immediately welcomed Bilal's arrival.

"I'm sorry for the nicotine" Bilal said as he dropped himself on the sofa.

"What's up, what's your vacation?" ask Hubab

"I take a drink first yes, Mas" between Khadija and Bilal nodded and said "Take Bi Mina deliver drinks also to Zahra's room yes, she must be thirsty" said Bilal. Because he believes Asthma will not go down if there is a Hubab.

But Khadijah prefers to deliver drinks for Asthma.

After giving a glass of water to her husband, Khadija now came to Asma and brought her a glass of water as well.

"Asma, Ma'am bring water" said Khadijah after knocking on his door, and soon the door opened.

"Thank you, Ma'am. I can take it myself"

"What's up" said Khadijah.

"Yes, I want to take a shower first" said Asma later.

"Hmm yes already if so" replied Khadijah then he immediately went down.

"Where did Bilal come by Asthma?" khadijah asked while sitting next to Bilal.

"Bring Asthma to the house she'll live in later"

"meaning?" ask Khadijah not to understand "Which house?"

"Yg is behind the cottage, soon it is finished and can be occupied"

Khadijah was very surprised to hear Bilal's words, he knew Bilal built a house there but he never knew it was for Asma. Bilal was already planning construction there when he decided to marry Asma, but Khadijah thought it would be the house Bilal would give him because he would soon have two wives. Khadijah patiently waited for the construction to be completed.

"What's wrong?" ask Bilal who saw Khadija suddenly mute.

"Em no, what's wrong" answered Khadijah still digested whether it was true Bilal said "Em...so the house is for Asthma?" ask Kahdijah. Bilal who saw Khadijah's expression could understand what the woman was thinking. But Bilal does not want to talk much now what else there is Hubab, even though Hubab is Khadijah's family and his best friend, Bilal does not want to discuss sensitive matters about his household in front of others.

"I want to take a shower" said Bilal then he went up and to the room Asma increasingly make Khadijah feel heartbroken.

Khadijah never thought, is two weeks with Asthma still lacking for Bilal?

Even at home, he still came to Asthma's room.
