Not the Perfect Wife
64. Family gathering
"Hi, know my name is Hisham." the man stretched out his hand in front of Fazilah.
"Fazilah," said Fazilah by welcoming Hisham's hand.
"You're beautiful" praised Hisham.
"Thank you," Fazilah replied as he was, he was too lazy with the male chatter.
Hisham tried to get Fazilah to speak, although at first the woman was reluctant, over time they finally spoke to each other. Fazilah would not even respond to him. Hisham also asked for Fazilah's phone number.

"Sir, Miss Fazilah had a meeting with her future husband last night with his mother."
"Is he a good man?"
"My men have already found out about him, sir, he is indeed a good man."
"Good, if he's a good person, I don't have to worry about him anymore, as long as he's okay that's enough for me."
"What about yourself?"
"What's wrong with me? I'm fine."
"Why, sir didn't explain to Miss Fazilah, about the actual situation, I'm sure she'll understand."
"No more talking about it, I promised I wouldn't say anything to Fazilah."
'Aren't you so stupid, sir? You don't say it just because of a useless promise.' Inner Reno, Hafidz's men.

"Are you seriously willing to accept this match?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Yasna looked at Fazilah, knowing that his friend was forced, but he could not interfere too much in Fazilah's future, even though they were friends.
"Hopefully your decision is right, whatever it is, may you get the best."
"Amin, thank you, you've always been there for me."
"You are always there for me, we pray for each other."
"Na, tomorrow the family will come to the house."
"To home? whatwant? You want a fiancee? That fast?" ask Yasna in a row."
"I don't know, everything mama set up, I don't know what it will be like."
"Aren't you guys communicating a lot? Did he not talk about it?"
"Maybe, I'm the one who doesn't listen."
"You guys talk about anything? Why don't you know?"
"All I heard was, she told me about her sister who was also coming home. Tomorrow his sister's coming from abroad with his wife."
"His sister is married? I don't think so, she's had a crush on you, too."
"Ngaco you."

Yasna was in the back garden, Aydin came to him with a lethargic face.
"What's wrong with Mother's child? It seems to be sad .. why?"
"Aydin can tell you no story, mother?"
"Of course, Mommy will listen to all your stories, what's up?"
"Aydin actually likes a girl in school."
Yasna was surprised to hear that. How could his son, who was just in 1st grade Junior High, have dared to say he was in love.
"What is she like? Until it makes you fall in love?"
"He's good, he's smart, he went to school there because of the scholarship, because he's from a poor family. Yesterday he was shot by Aydin's friend and he accepted, now I don't know what day?"
"So that time, you were sad that the girl was shot by your friend?" Aydin nodded in agreement.
"Here, sweetie." Yasna gave the code for Aydin to approach. "Look, it is not the intention of Mother to forbid you to date, but it would be nice if Aydin is only concerned about school. Aydin's future is still very long, Aydin must be smart to use time. If he is indeed the soul mate God gave you, he will be with you, but if not, Mother believes God has prepared the best soul mate for Aydin someday."
"Mother is also like Papa, forbidding Aydin to date."
"Mother wants to ask, Aydin can not work? Can you make your own money?"
"Because that's why Papa forbids Aydin dating, Mommy does not prohibit, only, Aydin can not be responsible. What are the benefits of dating? It will only add to the sin for Aydin and Aydin's parents. Pity mom is equally papa, if Aydin committed a sin. Aydin should have prayed for his late mother, to be quiet in nature, not to add sin. Aydin understood 'do you mean Mother?"
Aydin was silent for a while, he digested every word that came out of Yasna's mouth.
"Aydin understood, Mother. Later Aydin will also pray for mama ... Mother, thank you very much, Mother has been very patient with Aydin so far, even Mother to enter the hospital because of Aydin, but Mother never hostile to Aydin."
"Mother knows, you did it because you love Papa and your sister so, why is Mommy angry?"
"Yes, Mother."
"From today, whatever you're going to feel the same story, Mother, huh?" ask Yasna who Aydin is.
"Excuse me, Mum. There are guests in front," said Bik Ima interrupting their conversation.
"Guests? Who's guest, Bik?"
"I don't know, Mom. He's looking for Mom."
"Male, what female?"
"Male man, Mom."
Yasna was astonished, who is the man who came to this house and looked for her? Is it his father or his brother?
"Just a minute, Mother ahead first."
"Yes, Mother."
Yasna went to the front to see her guests, she wondered who the man was.
"Sister Zahran!" yasna exclaimed, when she saw that what came was Zahran.
"Do you know where my house is?" yasna asked as she sat on the sofa.
"I've known about it since your marriage."
"I mean brother? Brother following me?"
Zahran did not answer, so Yasna knew the answer. This is what Yasna doesn't like, when she wants to escape the past, but the past always follows.
"What does my brother want to see me?"
"I just want to apologize, all right. I will leave this city, closing all the bitter memories that have occurred in my life. I'm also getting a divorce with Avi."
"Then what about the kids?"
"They'll go with his mother, maybe once a week or once a month I'll visit them."
Yasna nodded her head, she did not want to interfere in the household of others, let them decide.
"Please drink, brother."
"Thank you." Zahran drank a drink presented by Bik Ima earlier.
"My goal here is done, I have to get ready to go, thanks for the banquet."
"Together, Brother."
Zahran walked out of the house followed by Yasna behind him, he wanted to take his guests to the door. As he was about to enter the car, Zahran turned around.
"I'll always miss you, I hope you're always okay."
"Thank you, Brother. I'll always be fine, as long as my family and the people I love are with me."
"He's a good guy, he'll take care of you."
"certain."
"Assalamualaikum" said Zahran
"Getishalight." Yasna smiled in response.
Zahran boarded his car leaving Yasna, the woman he loved so much. However, unfortunately now he has to give up the woman for other men who are more responsible.
'I hope Big Brother will find another happiness someday, ' inner Yasna.
