My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 74

Bilal escorts Asma, Adil and his mother-in-law to the airport. Bilal's eyes are hot because Zahra is really leaving. But Bilal can't do anything. Although Bilal really felt something was wrong, what else Adil insisted on bringing Asthma home. Bilal is sure, Fair knows for sure, that when a girl is married, then her husband has his full rights on the girl, no longer his family, except..... unless her husband does something unfair. Bilal asked, what injustice has he done to his Zahra?.

"Bilal, we go first. Take care of yourself, Son" exclaimed the mother-in-law. Bilal just nodded without being able to make a sound.

Asma also hugged Bilal but he also could not speak, he was very sad because he had to part with his beloved husband.

"I beg you, Zahra. Don't leave me" Bilal whispered as Asma hugged him. But Asma did not answer and he could only tighten his embrace. "Dear, please. You may be angry or punish me if I do anything unfair or hurt you, but please, Zahra. Don't go" Bilal said in a trembling voice. He was almost crying.

Still silent, Asma let go of her embrace and immediately turned around, no matter Bilal who did not want to let go of her hand. Asma kept pulling away, with tears in her eyes, she continued to step away from Bilal.

Now Bilal was really crying, he could only look at the back of his wife who did not even want to look at him again.

Asthma bites her lips strong enough to withstand her sobs. But Asma suddenly stopped his steps, he turned and immediately ran to Bilal, Asma immediately hugged Bilal and cried bitterly in Bilal's arms. Bilal hugged her very tightly and she cried. Bilal kept begging his Zahra not to leave him. But the only answer Asthma just sobs her tears.

"I beg you, Zahra." for the umpteenth time Bilal pleaded.

"I love you, Bilal" that's all Asma can say with a choked voice.

"Then don't leave me. I love you so much too"

"I have to go" But Bilal shook his head. He was getting his embrace.

"I beg you, don't"

Fair really did not have the heart to see the lovers, but the separation must be for the sake of his sister, Adil did not want his sister to continue to suffer in her household.

"Asma, it's time to check in "said Adil, Asma also reluctantly released Bilal. He also gave a farewell kiss to Bilal who was accompanied by a cry that he could not stop.

"Don't wait for me" whispered Asma right in Bilal's ear, which instantly made Bilal's heartbeat stop for a moment. His breath stuck in his throat.

That's the meaning....is it true that Zahra wants to leave her? She didn't go to calm down, but she left because she didn't want to be Bilal's wife anymore?

But, Bilal had not had time to make a sound, Asma had run away from him.

Bilal came home with a broken heart, what's wrong?. He kept asking questions about it. He could not justify Asma who wanted to separate only because of miscarriage Asma, because they could still have children again.

Bilal returns to Khadijah's house. And how shocked Khadija was to see her husband coming home with tears and a pale face.

"Mas, what's wrong?" khadijah asked worriedly, he did not even know Asma had gone home to his parents

"Zahras....My Zahra left me" Bilal said in an almost inaudible voice. Khadija was no less surprised to hear that "He said not to wait... Wh why? why did all this happen to me? Why does Zahra hate me so much?" Bilal Mumbled.

"Mas, he might not have missed Mas Bilal." persuaded Khadijah but Bilal did not want to hear it. He walked to Asthma's room and locked himself there.

Bilal took Astma's beloved doll. In the past, when Asma did not want to be touched by Bilal, Asma always slept by hugging the doll. Now Bilal's hugging the doll, there's still the scent of his wife there. Bilal inhaled the sweet scent, and he cried again.

Her heart was very sick as Asthma asked her not to wait for him.

Khadijah who stood in front of Bilal's room, could hear Bilal's crying voice, Khadija really could not bear. Her husband was so beaten. It was indeed her fault, Asma left because of her.

.

When Asthma arrived at her house, it was very surprising to everyone, especially her father, because they did not know Asthma would come home and that was without her husband.

Of course Abi Rahman questioned Fair how he could bring Asthma home and separated from her husband. What's more at this time Bilal must also be in desperate need of her.

"Asma is only a few days, Bi" exclaimed Adil who also thought Asthma came home to calm down.

"Engga, Brother" replied Asma who made Fair and everyone looked at Asma in wonder. "Asma's coming home for a few days, Asthma.... Asma doesn't want to go back there"

Family Fair as in a lightning strike heard the confession of Asthma.

"Asma... What are you saying?"

"Sorry Asthma, Bi." Exclaimed Asthma. He ran to his room and cried so he was there. Asthma also cannot cope with this decision. But he could not be with Bilal again if Khadija could not accept him, until when would there be a cold war between him and Khadijah?. Asthma is not the type of woman who wants to live with hatred.

Asma continued to cry curled up in the middle of her bed, where she handed everything to Bilal. It spins back in his mind his memories with Bilal, from the moment he met Bilal for the first time, until he handed himself over to his beloved husband and in the end he became pregnant. It was a priceless happiness in his life. But he doesn't maintain that happiness if there's still hate in his life.

Asma grasped tightly the prayer beads Bilal gave her, she kissed her until the beads were wet by her tears. His heart kept screaming that he loved Bilal very much.

Asthma continued to cry until she felt tired and finally fell asleep.

While both Asthma parents still can't believe her son made that decision.

"She was just sad, she made a decision out of emotion. Kulsum, try talking to Asthma when she calms down. Divorce?.it is not a decision that can be taken for granted. Asthma doesn't understand what she's done" exclaimed the father.

"Asma understood, Bi" interrupted Fair. "Asma understands more than we can imagine. My sister is no longer a teenage Asthma who is still into childhood. He is an adult and has the right to make his own decisions"

"Now, divorce is not that easy, son, after all, not only Asthma, Bilal must also be sad because of the loss of his child. How would he move on if he also had to lose Asthma"

"Abi, actually, there's something Asthma is hiding from all of us. Asthma's decision wasn't because she had a miscarriage" Fair said quietly. "This, this is about how Asma lived his life there, and also Khadijah"

"What happened to Khadijah? didn't he treat Asthma like his own sister?.

"Honey is still honey, Bi. there must be jealousy that might trigger a hatred"

"You mean?"

Adil was forced to tell all of it to his parents. During this time, Adil was the best friend of Asthma confiding, but Asma asked Adil not to tell his parents. But now they deserve to know why Asthma can't go back there.

Hearing Fair's story, both Asthma parents were so shocked. Especially the Mother.

"He once cried until he fainted when he heard a friend of his friends talking about him, and brought his family and his place of origin, Ummi. But Asthma didn't tell you that"

"Oh my God, my daughter" muttered the mother.

"And about the miscarriage, Dil. Abi did not believe Khadijah would do that"

"Adil also does not believe, Bi. but Adil read his own message. It was not Bilal.and Adil did not understand, why until now Bilal did not know it"

"Maybe Khadija deleted her message" the mother said, disappointedly "Mom thinks she loves Asma."

"You're right, son. If Asma is not able to live her household, then let her decide whatever she wants. Abi doesn't care if he should be the talk of people if he gets divorced at a very young age. Abi thought Asma could be happy because Bilal loved her and Khadijah accepted her. Abi thought Asthma would be a complement to their lives. "

"Bilal still loves her, Bi. Fair never saw a greater love than Bilal's love for Asma."

The next day, Asthma came out of the room with her eyes moist. All who see it is not hearty, but as Fair said, they should not ask Asthma any more, they just have to comfort her.

Asma ransacked her suitcase and bag.

"Search for what, son?" ask the Mother.

"Ummi, which Asthma phone?"

"In your bag maybe"

"There, Asma has been looking" Umm Kulsum also helped find it but there was none.

"The cooking is gone anyway?" gumam Asthma.

"What's missing?" ask the one who just came.

"Astma Counselor, Brother"

"Maybe a sprain, Deck.try to find a plan slowly"

"There is." Whine Asthma. What's more that phone from Bilal, Asma doesn't want to lose that phone.

"Yes, I'll buy you a new one"

"Asma wants Asthma's phone, sister" whined Asthma with glassy eyes. "It was bought by Bilal" he continued in half a whisper.

"Dear .. Don't be sad. Later Ummi bought a better one" Asma shook her head

"Asma wants another cell phone"

"Maybe missed at home, Deck" Connect Fair. "Sister call Bilal and tell him to get your phone, okay? he could send her later" Asma nodded and she immediately returned to her room

Bilal woke up when the sun was high, he let out a sigh of what else he missed the dawn prayer. Bilal cried all night even his tears hit the Asthma doll and made it wet.

"Don't wait for me" Asma's last words sounded in her ears, making Bilal's heart ache again. He hopes that all of that is not true, he hopes that what Asma said is only because of emotion.

Bilal's phone vibrated, as he checked it, it was a message from Adil saying Astma lost her phone and may have missed it. Adil also said, Asma does not want another cell phone, he only wants a cell phone from Bilal, Adil asked Bilal to find an Asma phone at his home.

A smile imprinted from Bilal's lips, something as small as this proves how much Zahra loves him.

"Sir..." The sound of Bi Mina's call from outside, Bilal rushed down from his bed still carrying an Asthma doll.

When he opened the door, Bi Mina was quite surprised to see Bilal's state of being like a new person breaking up from his first love. What else Bilal who still hugs the Asma doll. makes Bi Mina grimace. Bi Mina understood Bilal must be sad if his Asthma Neng left.

"What's up, Bi.? bilal asked with his hoarse voice.

"What do you want me to prepare breakfast? from Kamaren Pak Bilal has not eaten anything"

"I'm not hungry, Bi" replied Bilal lazily

"But it will hurt, sir"

"It's good, let's die all of you, who knows with that Zahra wants to come back to me" Bi Mina increasingly grimaced with the madness of her master.

"I understand, you must be sad. But it all happened anyway. After all, what made you not go home at that time?. And why not answer Neng Asma's call"

"I mean Aunty?" ask Bilal again.

"I mean, you already know Neng Asma cramp, why not go straight home?. Kasian Neng Asma waited a long time and continued in pain."

"Zahra wait?. Bi, if I knew Zahra was cramping, of course I'd go straight home no matter what"

"Loh, instead of Neng Asma has told you that he was cramping, and he asked you to go home, Neng Asma himself said that the father will come home because that's why Neng Asma is waiting for you. But Mr. Bilal did not come home, even when Neng Asma called Mr. Don't lift."

"Wait...." Bilal raised his hand. He could not understand what his favorite maid meant. " Zahra didn't call me, Bi"

"Sir, I nemenin Neng Asma in her room. I saw himself he called the Father while crying cry because it was not able to stand"

Bilal kneaded his temple and tried to digest Bi Mina's intent. He also took his own cell phone. He checked his call list that night, and there were no other calls apart from Mukhlis and Umm Kulsum. He also checked the message but there was nothing.

"Bi Mina sure Asma called me that night?"

"Oh my God, sir. Not sure anymore. But I saw myself Neng Asma sms an equally father, continue because not in reply again. He called, but he wasn't answered. Abis called Dini. But you were also answered, just called Mr. Mukhlis, and Mr. Mukhlis immediately sent people to take us to the hospital"

Bilal felt his whole body tremble, and his heart pounding, guessing what was really going on?.He thinks something's wrong, but what?.

Bilal keeps turning his brain around and thinks if Asthma contacted him, why isn't there anything on his phone?

a cellphone?

Bilal remembered the message he had just received from Adil. If Asthma does contact her, then there must still be messages and calls Exit from the Asthma phone.

Bilal immediately rushed home to look for Asthma's cell phone. He really hopes that the Asma phone really misses in order to.

"Where's Bilal going, Bi?" ask Khadijah who just came out of his room. Khadijah's eyes were also puffy, he also cried all night because he heard Bilal crying, Khadija felt very guilty about what happened.

"I don't know, Mom." Reply Bi Mina. "Oh yeah, do you want me to prepare breakfast? I asked him what breakfast he wanted. He said he was sick and even dying so that Neng Asma would come back to him"

Khadijah could only sigh deeply, with Bilal's love for Asthma. And maybe that much is also the sin of Khadija because it has separated the brand.
