Rainbow Blanketed Clouds
Feeling Followed

"You why? It has looked gloomy since. Are you sick?" cloud asked shortly after Rainbow taught him how to teach. The clouds put their palms on their foreheads to ensure their body temperature.

"I'm fine, Hubby. Just thinking of something."

"What are you thinking?"

The rainbow took a long breath. His face looked even more glum. "I thought of dad."

The worry suddenly seeped into the hearts of the Clouds. From Zidan, he had heard that his father-in-law had a history of the heart. "Is dad sick?"

"No, I'm fine."

"Keep, is there a problem with dad?"

The rainbow nodded in response. "Hubby remember the Tahfiz House which is now under construction?"

Cloud's memory was immediately addressed some time ago, when Guntur came and declared that he would be a donor for the construction of a Tahfiz House that was being built. "I remember."

"The words of the mother land next to the mosque that will be used as Tahfiz's house will be sold by the son of the late owner. I'm afraid you'll think and get sick."

"Couldn't you? Isn't that waqf land, huh?"

"I don't know either. At noon my mother called me, she said tomorrow there will be an important meeting at the mosque to discuss the land acquisition. If Hubby allows it, tomorrow morning I'm going to the house to help you cook for consumption."

"Can, Honey. I'll drop you off before I leave for work."

The rainbow looked at her husband. "Aren't you late for the office? I can have Zidan pick me up."

"No, really."

Smile expands on the lips of the Rainbow. The clouds are very attentive to him. He did not even allow the Rainbow to do any exhausting activities.

"What time is it, honey?"

"After the prayer of Ashar."

"Let's catch up after work, yeah."

The rainbow nodded back. He smiles. But then back to moody.

"I'm not sure the meeting will get a good result. He said the landowner's son urged asking for considerable funds as land acquisition. While the funds available now are far from enough."

"Astaghfirullahalazim" said Awan with his head shaking. He did not think about the son of the landowner who wanted to sell waqf land. "How many requests?"

"One and a half billion" said Rainbow. "I also have savings to add. But that won't be enough either."

Seeing the rainbow so sad, the Clouds embraced him. Wipe your hair and back.

"Dear, don't be so sad. Hopefully the outcome of his meeting will lead to a good way out."

"Aamiin's."

"You're patient, yeah."

The night ....

The rainbow returned to the room after cleaning the dinner table and washing the dishes used for dinner. As soon as he entered the room, the clouds looked neat with jackets and shoes. The rainbow stared in wonder, her husband like he was going out.

"Where are you going, Hubby?" ask Rainbow.

"I'm going out to see a friend for a minute. He said there's something important to talk to me about." He glanced at the direction of the short needle on the circular watch in his hand. Time shows at eight. "Not for long, though. I'm back in an hour. You're ready, yeah!" He blinked one of his eyes which made the rainbow blush in shame.

“Be careful on the road, Hubby. It's already night.” 

“Iya, Darling. I'm going, yes.” The clouds kissed his wife's forehead before leaving the room. 

At work, he got a call from his best friend, Ben. The owner of the night entertainment place where he used to spend time to have fun. 

The car belonging to the cloud is traveling at medium speed. Several times he glanced at the vehicle in the back through the rearview mirror.

I don't know why he feels being followed.
