My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 73

Asthma who was bored in his room, he immediately went down and he saw Adil who was pacing back and forth while calling someone.

"Call who, brother?" ask Asma

"Fatimah, Whatsapp is not active. My pulse's up again"

"Gupporteur Asma aja, Asma take it for a moment"

"You need to take it yourself. You can't go up and down the stairs directly" cried Adil and he immediately rushed to find an Asthma phone. after getting it, he said, he immediately went down and joined Asma who was watching television.

Shortly thereafter, Umm Kulsum came with some plastic grocery bags.

"Asma, how you doing, Son?" ask the mother who saw her daughter was out of the room.

"Okay, Ummi. Where's ummi from?" ask Asma while following her Ummi who walks towards the kitchen.

"By buying fruit with your husband" Asthma just oh ria and he took one apple out of the plastic bag then washed it and ate it.

Meanwhile, Adil is still trying to contact Fatimah but has not been answered. He decided to send a message and asked Fatimah to call back.

And accidentally, Adil saw the message that Asma sent to Bilal's contact who said Asma was no longer able to, because he felt there was something strange with the message, Adil also opened it.

And how surprised his Adil while reading chat and the same with Bilal. Fair growled furiously, he clenched his hand tightly. His anger was clearly in his eyes and it was terrifying as if he wanted to destroy what made him angry, what else when Adil saw the time when Asma sent the message and when Bilal replied to him. Fair was getting angry, because he saw the message had been read but there was no reply at all.

From Bilal's message saying he'll be home soon and Asthma's message telling him his stomach and back hurt is about thirty minutes, Bilal had known a few minutes earlier that Asthma was sick, but they did not go home. Fair was getting furious with his sister-in-law, he thought since the first message Asma who said his stomach was cramping, should Bilal immediately go home, he thought, but Asma still texted again 30 minutes later and again asked them to go home.

Fair also checked the outgoing call from Asthma, and there were several outgoing calls to Bilal in the same minute and.

"Damn it, so her own husband who does not care about Asthma even though he already knows Asthma needs it. I'll definitely finish you off, Bilal" growled Fair.he threw Asthma's phone on the couch in anger. As a brother of course he did not accept his sister ignored anything else until the loss of a baby in his bladder. All the bad thoughts about Bilal just popped into his mind.

Just looking for Bilal came out with a furious rage. What was on his mind right now was to finish off Bilal, now Adil understood why Asma was angry at Bilal and blamed Bilal for what happened.

When Adil saw Bilal who was also about to enter the house, Adil suddenly stopped his steps and he recalled the message. It's like being aware of something.

He went back inside, picked up Astma's phone and read her message again.

"Aspie?" murmuring her, she looked like she was thinking of something and once again she muttered her sister's name 'Asma'.

"Oh Allah, this is not Bilal" Fair said with surprise. He knew, and everyone knew, that Bilal never called his sister Asthma. Bilal just called her by the name of Zahra. Even when he first met Abi Rahman, Bilal had already used the name Zahra for his lover, and Bilal also explained to Abi Rahman why he called him Zahra. Remembering all that, Now Fair turned to look for Asthma. Just thought surely Asma had misunderstood and thought Bilal was ignoring him, that's why Asma hated Bilal.

"Sir.." call Fair, he approached Asma who was enjoying apples in the kitchen.

"Why, Brother?" ask Asma.

"So don't talk, come on!"

"Why don't you talk here?." said Umm Kulsum

"This is my sister, Ummi" Adil replied, and he also pulled Asthma's hand and brought Asma to his room.

"What the hell is it, sister, it's really important"

"This is important. Look, you've misunderstood Bilal, Asma."

"Sister mean?"

"I don't know why you hate Bilal, because you think Bilal ignored you, right?. Because that night you asked Bilal to come home but he didn't come home. Deck, it wasn't Bilal who answered your message, it was someone else. You know, Bilal just called you by your last name, Zahra. Never once did he call you Asthma" Fair tried to explain and he really hoped Asma understood his intentions.

"Asma knows, Madam Khadijah who read and replied to the message of Asthma" replied Asma who made Adil more surprised

"You mean?" tanya Adil doesn't understand.

"Asma knows Asma's husband, sister. Bilal once left his business partner just because Asma was hungry and wanted to eat his cooking, then how could he not want to leave a party for Asma and our son?. Asthma knew it wasn't Bilal from the beginning."

"So, you already know it wasn't Bilal?" Asthma nodded

"But you're still hostile to Bilal?"

"Asma was not at all hostile to Bilal, Brother. Asthma loves her so much"

"But you've been ignoring her all along"

"Because Asma wanted to be angry, Sister. Whenever Asma faced Bilal, Asma ngin complained to her husband and said that her first wife was a liar, she said, Ma'am never delivered that message even until this second. But if Asma says all that, Bilal's heart must be broken, sad and very disappointed, because all this time, Bilal strongly believes Mbak Khadijah is a very good wife and he loves me. "

"But why did Khadijah do all that?"

"Jealous maybe, or hate the same Asthma. Asthma has to know"

"Why didn't you tell Bilal?"

"And after that what, brother?. Bilal will be sad and must be very angry, as said Brother and Everyone, Bilal loves Asthma very much, Asthma can imagine what Bilal's reaction would be if he knew what Mbak Khadijah had done to me, Asma was just afraid that their marriage that had been more than ten years ruined just because of me. Their kasian, brother besides, is indeed the wrong position of Asma, because it is in the middle of them."

Adil felt weak at once, he did not know, should he be sad at what his little sister experienced, or should he be proud of the kindness of his sister. Who still thinks of someone else who's hurt her. What's more, it's not Asthma's will to be in their midst.

"Why do you have a story at least the same Brother, Dek"

"Asma does not know how to tell it" said Asma sadly.

"Sister's beloved sister, so much that you have to pass alone, how can you survive Asthma?. You must be feeling depressed." Adil said very sad. "Why do you have a story with Brother, Dek."

"And the sister who said, if there is a problem in the Asthma household, then the problem must remain in the house. Even if Asthma has to talk to others, then it's just to find a solution, while Asthma thinks there's no solution to this problem, Sis."

"All problems have a solution, Deck"

"But there's no better solution than silence, right?. After all, even if Asma did not, there would only be quarrels. All Astma wants now is to go home, Asma wants to get away from Bilal and his first wife"

"Well, you'll talk to Bilal"

"Sorry Asthma yes, Ummi. Asthma is always troublesome Ummi" said Asma lirih. "Asma is not yet a mother, but when pregnant, Asthma can feel how worried her baby is. When Asthma feels pain, Asthma is very afraid of losing Asthma children. Is that also what makes Ummi faint if Asma runs away from home? Ummi's afraid something's going on with Asthma?"

"Yes, Son. Ummi was very scared. Every time you escape Ummi's sight and surveillance, Ummi is terrified. What if something happens to Ummi's daughter."

"Sorry Asthma yes"

"What's up, dear. A mother will always forgive no matter how great her child's fault"

While below, Adil tells Bilal that he wants to bring Asthma home. Of course Bilal was very surprised and did not agree with that.

"Just a few days, Bilal. Asthma takes time to calm down"

"But I really need Zahra, Dil. I don't want him to leave me"

"Your Zahra won't leave you, after a few days when Asma calms down, you can pick her up"

"Did Zahra ask that?" with great force Adil nodded "Did he hate me so much that he wanted to leave me?" Bilal said in a low tone. He did not expect Asma to hate him so much that he wanted to leave him.

"He loves you more than he loves himself. He did all this for you"

"Forku? all I need is my Zahra always with me"

"Bilal, try to understand. Asthma just doesn't want to hurt you more. If he continues to be here, he will always be sad. Let him go home and entertain himself"

"If he comes home with you, I'll come along too. She's my wife, Dil. I'm going where he's going".

Fair to massage the base of his nose.love is complicated, he thought. The other one wants to go, the other one won't part.

"Bilal, Asthma is very sad and depressed with her current position, she is still a child, she is like him if you have to continue to be depressed. He didn't even want to tell anyone about his problem. He tried to keep it to himself because he didn't want to hurt you or Khadijah. "

"Have we hurt her?" ask Bilal sadly. But Fair did not answer. It made Bilal feel sad and guilty.

"If going home can make Zahra happy again, you can take her home" and after saying that, Bilal immediately rushed to his room.

Adil could not bear to see Bilal sad like that, but he was much less bearish on his little brother who had to endure such great suffering alone.

Bilal opened the door of his room very slowly, he saw his beloved wife was sleeping on his mother's lap.

Upon seeing Bilal's arrival, Umm Kulsum very carefully put Asthma's head on the pillow, after which she immediately got out of bed.

"Thank you, Ummi" Bilal said

"It's right, son, you look tired" exclaimed Umm Kulsum.then he left Bilal's room.

Bilal crawled up to the bed and then he kissed Asthma on the forehead. Considering Zahra wanted to leave made Bilal very sad. Asma was disappointed in him so much that he wanted to leave Bilal. Unknowingly, Bilal shed his tears while kissing Asthma's forehead, to make Asma wake up when he felt Bilal's tears wet his forehead.

"Bilal.." call him soft.

"Yes, dear" Bilal replied in a low voice. Asthma sat down and immediately his heart ached when he saw Bilal who returned to agitate because of it. Asthma gently wiped away Bilal's tears.

"Don't cry" cried Asma.

"Zahra, do you hate me so much?" asked Bilal in a hoarse voice. Asthma shook her head and kissed Bilal's hand. "Then why did you leave me?"

"I just want to be alone, Bilal."

"Then what about me?"

"There's your other wife here"

"But he's not you, I just want you, Zahra"

"I... I don't know how, my life feels so complicated and painful. How am I supposed to deal with my life with this polygamy, Bilal?. I always try to accept it, I always try to hold jealousy in my heart, but when a hatred I have to face not only affects me, but also affects you, I can't accept it. I was so sad and disappointed "

Bilal listens to what Asthma is saying and tries to digest it. Bilal realized, Asthma told something impliedly.

"Darling... What do you mean exactly?. What hatred are you talking about?. Who hates you ?"

"Don't think about it, tomorrow I'll come home with Ummi"

"But Zahra..."

"If you really love me, let me go home"

Bilal let out a heavy sigh, but in the end he nodded even though he seemed to be very objected to Asthma's decision.

"What if we go together?. somewhere, vacation?" Asma smiled faintly, how he said that Bilal was the one he wanted to avoid at this moment.

"Your wife's brother's here"

"And you are also my wife" said Bilal.

"Bilal, please..." Pinta Asma, he wants to stop this debate.

"Alright, but just a few days, I'll pick you up"

"Sleep" cried Asma while laying down, Bilal followed, he hugged Asma from behind.
