Rainbow for Aqila
Wh why?

It was as fast as sunset, when just a few minutes ago it felt eyes open and felt the morning breeze piercing the skin. Time seems to go that fast

"The noodles looked much better" Aqila who was heating the food on the stove turned her head as Naufal poured drinking water in a glass

"In the end the heart will be forced to forget even though memories still cross the shadow, rather than memories that only leave sadness until protracted it is better indeed if we try to start a new sheet"

"Starting a new page without someone who used to accompany us for me is difficult"

"Hard why?"

"Because wherever I am, then I'll feel like I see it"

"Sir Naufal was also used to being without abi while in college, even you only met a few times"

"Every time I see a pesantren, or every prayer, I will remember how he once hit me with rattan for choosing to play and run away with my friend from ponpes rather than congregational prayer" Naufal slightly chuckled as he said that

"Sir Naufal that senakal? Is Naufal the son of the owner of the ponpes?" Aqila immediately chose to sit in front of Naufal after turning off the stove, this story was quite interesting to him

"I'm grubby first because I don't want to be regulated much"

"When in the stories that I often heard, the son of ponpes was diligent, exemplary to be a ustazah and santriwati seizure"

"Hahaha" Naufal hit the table a little while laughing at his wife's words

"It's just a dear essay, it could be possible if they have extra patience, but actually in their souls there was a sense of fatigue to see many books and memorization that has not been deposited"

"Tiredness and boredom are common for a science claimant" Aqila replied

"This is a different context, sometimes there is something in men to try something challenging, such as trying to run away secretly, exchanging letters with students or sometimes deliberately hiding sandals or other santri goods"

"That's bad?" Muttered Aqila, in his mind the santri was a calm man who focused only on religious affairs without ever any vague intention

"Not everything is like that either"

"Which one is Naufal?" Aqila asked with suspicious squinting eyes

"The one called earlier"

"Including sending letters secretly to santriwati?" Aqila's tone changed, she gave a sharp look at her husband who pretended to look the other way

"Maybe"

"Maybe? That means ever, right?" Naufal rubbed his nape and moments later nodded

"Who with? Fadila?" I don't know why the name was first mentioned by Aqila

"That's the time of MTs"

"Aqila is not the time of MTs or the Age of MI, Aqila is who she is?"

"Temen Fadila" great-grandson of Naufal, her voice was very small

"Waw, that's amazing. There are rumors that a Naufal pradana Al-Ghazali was betrothed to the son of a friend of Pak kyai, even the one sent his friend's letter"

"It used to be, as much as monkey love, also because it lost the real bet. But when I first saw you, love was no longer a game but a goal that was part of my long bow"

"Gombal" Aqila laughed when she was actually a little moved as well

"If you're the same way?" Tonight is the night of discussing the past love stories at the dinner table for the couple who were married five years

"The bitch is a handsome, intelligent, exemplary man, and..."

"I ask your story is not to describe how Galang" Aqila laughed, they completely forgot the sorrow stored in each other's hearts

"That's how he is, a brash man because he likes to play with women's feelings, after breaking up from Reyna immediately hitched dating that fast, brazen let alone him?" Aqila got excited when she remembered that

"Now everything is different, time passes as fast as the blink of an eye, things we never thought could happen now"

"That's how life is, it's always a secret of God" Naufal held Aqila's hand on the table

"Regardless of the past story, I want you to be my escort until the old days" that's when Aqila remembered the doctor's letter that was still in her bag, can she tell Naufal just now?

"So my Naufal..."

"It turns out that it's twelve and a half hours, we talked during that time, let's sleep so as not to be late for the activity tomorrow morning"

Aqila just sighed, it seemed like this was not the right time yet, she was going to tell Naufal tomorrow

......................

"This is what Qil is?" Naufal's voice trembled raising the white paper in his hand

"This what?!" His voice was slightly raised, like a little angry, sad and disappointed mixed into one

Naufal sobbed his tears, but last night they could still laugh just fine, now everything changed in less than nine hours

At first he was looking for Aqila's phone to try to contact her phone which he either put where, his attention was fixed on the black bag on the dresser, he saw Aqila wearing the bag yesterday and hasn't held a cell phone since last night so he thought his wife's phone must be there

He found what he was looking for, but the white envelope with the hospital logo caught his attention, when did his wife go to the hospital? And what letter was that?, the question was directly lodged in his head

Since reading Aqila written on the top of the letter, her heart had already felt a different feeling, until slowly her gaze was fixed on one sentence

Glioblastoma brain cancer

Naufal until holding the end of the table to keep his balance, what is this? Especially now?, he tried to see the date of the letter which actually made his heart more broken, it was the date yesterday, even though he had tried to think it was the result of the Aqila test ten years ago

"Sir Naufal had breakfast" he looked slowly at the woman who opened the door, the woman who had made him feel the happy meaning of love

"This is what Qil is?"

"This what?!" Disappointed, angry and sad joined in him when he said that, even though the letter in his hand had clearly answered the question, but he wanted to hear it directly from his wife's mouth, a speck of his heart still wished that this was nothing more than a lie

"A what?" Aqila's voice even shook, she did not expect Naufal to find the letter first, even though she also planned to find it today

"Why Qil? Whyyy?! Hiks, why else?" That's the only word Naufal is able to get out, why should the disease come back again? Why should his wife? Why is this so hard a trial? Why didn't Aqila tell him

"What can I say to answer? I don't know what the answer is?"

"Why didn't you tell me you came to the hospital yesterday?! Hah!, do you still consider me your husband?" Naufal to the point of shaking his wife's shoulder was quite strong, his heart was sad mixed with disappointment

"Because I consider Brother Naufal my husband, I'm not telling you. I see, I understand that Brother Naufal is still grieving over the loss of an abi? How can I tell you?"

"Just because you're hiding it makes me sicker Qil, I'm disappointed, I'm disappointed in you covering something this big, I'm disappointed in myself for being such a useless husband!"

"Who said that? Brother Naufal is a perfect husband, a good man" Aqila did not like to hear that remark

"You act like this as if to say that, you seem to think I'm weak to hide this, but I've been hoping that we can open up to each other no matter what the problem, let alone a problem of this magnitude" Naufal lowered his tone, he dropped his head on Aqila's shoulders who was crying dumbstruck

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Aqila was only able to say that, she thought it was better to tell Naufal when his condition began to improve, in fact the decision he took was wrong

"I don't want to hear your apologies, I just want you to heal" the sound of sobbing became a heart-wrenching rhythm this early, sobbing, sobbing, as if there would be no sun to reveal its light because the gray cloud had closed again before dawn

"Father, mother" the voice of their two little angels made the couple aware, Naufal and Aqila both wiped away their tears, though they could not lie because their eyes were reddened

"Later too late"

"Yes, son, let's go back" Naufal pulled his wife's hand and shook his head

"Home alone, we need to talk after this"

"Same father Mother belantem huh?"

"Who said that?" Naufal saw his son sitting in the seat, shuffled from the windshield of the car

"You cry, Bilal also with father's towel instead" the little boy understood what happened between his parents

"Don't make the mother cry, Ila dear mother"

"The mother who made the father cry, he hurt the father" the two children understood their father's words

"Mother hit dad?"

"We arrived" Naufal did not want to reply further to his son's words, the water seemed to want to continue flowing

"Be careful, study diligently" Naufal smiled kissing their heads as his son shook hands

"Assalamu'alaikum father"

"Wa'alaikumussalam" Naufal smiled back at the wave of their hands, his smile immediately faded as his children were no longer seen

"We can definitely get through all this, son"
