Only I Love
85. S2-8

Rafatar is shocked to hear Salma's wish. He did not expect a woman with a symbol to offer to go home.

"I mean Mom, what? Why go to my house?"

"Hmm, I need a house to shelter, sir. If there is a job at your house, I will be very willing to do everything I can. Like cleaning the house and cooking."

Rafatar looks back at the woman he first met. Rafatar saw Salma with surprise. His request to stay at Rafatar's house sounded unexpected. He considered the situation carefully before giving an answer.

"Mr Salma, I understand that Mom is in a difficult situation, but I have to think about it carefully. I also have a family and of course along with responsibility for their security. I'm afraid this decision will affect the dynamics of our household."

Salma was disappointed and did not accept Rafatar's decision in his heart. "I understand, Sir. I am nobody here. I am just a pathetic woman who was dumped by her husband. I can understand the feelings of the Father who loves the Father's family." Salma nodded her head and twisted her body and began to tread slowly. In his heart began to count how long Rafatar would call him.

"Wait!" said the handsome man who had just rejected her request.

Salma stopped her steps and a faint smile re-adorned her lips. "Why else, sir? I will continue the journey. Sorry to interrupt, Father." Although the tone he made seemed pathetic, but the look was not at all. His eyes glanced at trying to read the movements of the person he was about to prey on.

"Mom Salma has a purpose? Or take it to the terminal? Can I take the bus to go home?" Rafatar.

"Ck!" Salma clucked with her annoyance. But he tried not to give up.

"No need, sir. Thank you for your attention. I will try to use the undergraduate diploma I have. Hopefully, I have some sustenance in this city." Salma turned her body back to look at Rafatar with the look of her bow.

Meanwhile, Rafatar put on a look of surprise hearing Salma's confession just now. "So this mother is a scholar? Why not take advantage of the diploma long ago?"

"I just want to be devoted to my husband, sir. However, the reality I got was really cruel. My husband turned out to throw me out after I started. I have to live for the sake of the child" he said again.

Rafatar becomes even more sorry to see Salma and her son. "If I may know, where did you go to college?"

"Can you hire me?"

"Yes, depends. If you need a major, I will try it. If not, maybe I will ask for help from others" Rafatar said.

"I used to study in Egypt, sir."

Rafatar's face was shocked to hear Salma's words just now. "Well, a graduate abroad? So cool!" rafatar reflexes. "Then what department?"

This time Rafatar again gave a surprised reaction. "So, you ever teach at a boarding school?"

"Yes, Sir. But that was only a short time and I focused on being a housewife. However, it looks like I will try to get back to work" Salma said carefully trying to read what was in Rafatar's head.

"If you're a farm graduate, maybe I haven't been able to help."

Salma, who heard Rafatar's words expectantly, now withered. He began to feel desperate because he did not find a gap to continue to be on the side of this handsome man. "Well, sir," he said resignedly.

"However, if Mom has experience teaching Arabic, who knows my wife can help, Mom," Rafatar said.

"Wife? So you already have a wife?" Salma repeated in a disappointed tone.

'Well, what a pity, ' Inner Salma.

"Yes, thank God already has a son as well" Rafatar added lightly.

"The wife of the Father must be very lucky to have a husband like the Father," praised Salma, although not willing.

"Why is that?" ask Rafatar chuckling.

"Because you look very responsible to your family, and you seem to love your family very much. Not only that, you also look dashing, he must be very grateful to have a husband like Father," said Salma again.

"I feel so grateful to have my wife like a heavenly angel. There is no woman like her. He was very tough and very loyal to accompany me, both joy and sorrow. And, I think my wife can give way to the problems that Mother experienced," said Rafatar sumringah.

He immediately pulled out a cell phone to call his wife. For a moment he asked Salma for permission to speak a little away from him.

Salma unceasingly watched Rafatar's expression talking to someone who was at the end of the call. "He really loved his wife. That's now, not necessarily later" Salma murmured.

Rafatar quits the call and draws back to Salma. "Thank God my wife wants to meet Mom. He wanted to see the Arabic ability of Mother, because he was a little hesitant about the direction of Mother he said was not linear with the subjects to be able to. But come with me. Who knows my wife's giving Mom a chance."

Salma was quite confused. However, he followed the Rafatar and entered the vehicle that was driven by Rafatar earlier. The vehicle began to enter the yard of a house that was quite spacious, making Salma even more amazed.

A hijab-wearing woman appeared from inside the house. He was very surprised when he saw the face of Rafatar's wife.
