Faris groped the bed beside him, making him open his eyes when he did not find his wife in his place.
He just remembered that now he was silencing Aisha, even he forgot how he fell asleep last night.
Faris sat down, rubbing his net, adjusting to the lighting in the room he now occupies with his heart.
When he glanced at the clock on the nightstand beside his bed, he found a glass of water that had been perched pretty there.
Instead of drinking it, Faris cradled the water, wondering if Aisha would deliberately prepare it for him.
His gaze swept around, but he did not find his wife either. Faris got up to the bathroom, intending to take the ablution water to perform her night prayer.
How surprised Faris when he opened the bathroom door and found Aisha was sitting on the edge of the bed with a smile that had widened, seen the prayer clothes as well as the prayer mat for her was neatly arranged.
“Abang to pray right?” aisha asked making Faris nod.
Without Aisha knowing, there was secretly a beautiful curve created at the corner of Faris' lips before she actually raised her hand to utter a takbir facing the qibla on her alphabet.

Azka stepped out of the room, all night he was really made to rile with the incident in the mall yesterday with Karina, his eyes were closed, but his mind wandered far without a destination.
“Today Doctor Karina's schedule what time is Mba?” azka asked as she approached her son's room before going to the office.
“Kalo is not wrong after asar sir,” replied Mba Sani while dressing Rafa who just finished he bathed.
Azka was just a mangosteen before finally stepping down the stairs after first greeting her son.
“Ndon't want breakfast first Sir?” ask the housekeeper who was busy at the dinner table.
“No need to Bi, later in the office,” replied Azka still stepped towards the parking lot, stuck his car gas, split the crowded streets of Surabaya.

Today is Faris' first day back on duty at the Hospital after her wedding reception with Aisha last week.
It should be a historic day for Aisha to be able to serve her husband before leaving for work for the first time as a wife status.
But what power, precisely his relationship with Faris is now not in a state of good because of his unstable attitude.
Aisha had been sitting neatly in the dining room, waiting for her husband's presence with a variety of dishes that since dawn she had been painstakingly prepared.
To be honest it was the first time Aisha had cooked for someone else after her mother.
While single, Aisha was quite busy with her activities as a medical student, making her not have many opportunities to get acquainted with the world of cooking.
Faris looks down the stairs with a face that Aisha herself can not interpret.
“Sabar Sha! Heaven is expensive.” Aisha cheers herself up.
Aisha, who was waiting for Faris, immediately stood up from her seat when Faris came to her face. Pull a chair for her husband, get the dishes that have been prepared and then take a few spoonfuls of rice and side dishes.
Faris still remained in silence, even when Aisha handed her the filled plate, Faris only accepted it without the slightest change in the look on her face.
Aisha cleared her throat to melt the atmosphere, began drinking her juice with a straw she deliberately provided.
Last night Aisha was browsing the internet about how to persuade an angry couple, she remembered very well how the sequence of activities she had to do.
“Drink using a straw originally with an attractive looking gaze and a raised lip corner.”
“Keep making the sounds of shavings in order to induce fatal invisible temptations.”
“Sucking a straw like this is indeed very effective.”
Faris brought her face closer to Aisha with a gaze that did not turn away from her, making Aisha reflexively close her eyes.
Aisha smiled in her eyes, her efforts this time must have worked, she thought.
When the distance of their faces was very close, Faris suddenly placed her palm on Aisha's forehead.
“Ica pain?” faris' words made Aisha open her eyes in disappointment.
“Kalo is sick come to the Hospital,” whispered Faris right in Aisha's ear before finally leaving Aisha alone at the dinner table.
“Sabar Sha.”

As soon as he arrived at his new residence, Gus Hasan immediately cleaned and laid himself on the bed.
Two days of travel was quite draining his energy, his net staring blankly at the ceiling of his room with typical Turkish carvings that add to his aesthetic impression.
“How are you Aisha?” murmured Gus Hasan with closed eyes, hoping in his new place he could soon forget the woman who is now his sister-in-law.
Suddenly Gus Hasan remembered something, immediately he grabbed his backpack which was still full of luggage that he had not had time to finish.
He reached into his side pocket, he was in a hurry because his friend had come to pick him up. Makes him insert the original rectangular object he found while on the Bosphorus bridge.
Gus Hasan cradled a cellphone with an apple logo bitten in his hand, he tried to revive it
by charging it, and it turns out the phone can still live.
Almost Gus Hasan threw the phone in his hand as long as he saw the picture of wallpaper attached, plastered clear face of a beautiful girl who not most Indonesian girls have with unraveled hair whose ends are deliberately colored blonde.
“Looks like she's a crossbreed girl.”
His head's memory reflexes vividly show scenes where the girl has twice helped him, albeit always with a cold temperament.
“Cracked!” murmured Gus Hasan but with the corners of the lips unconsciously raised to form a beautiful arch.
“How do I return it? Let alone the address here, the name alone I do not know.”
Gus Hasan put back the hadphone he was charging, maybe tomorrow he can ask Jayapura for help to find the address of the girl.
In Istanbul, Gus Hasan only knew Jaya, his best friend since their beginning in the pesantren. He could arrive in Istanbul because of the spirit of Jaya.
Gus Hasan did get his S2 scholarship call from Istanbul University, but initially he was quite worried. One side he no longer wants to be away from his parents are increasingly desperate, so he prefers to keep secret about the scholarship.
But it turns out that fate says otherwise, God brought him to Aisha. The woman who in an instant was able to change the world of Gus Hasan with his war.
But it turns out they were only meant to meet, not to be together. And now Gus Hasan must swallow the bitter reality that his woman has become his sister-in-law.
That's the biggest reason now to take that scholarship call and set foot in the country. Consider this his jihad, so as not to be more protracted in sin for loving someone's wife.
