On a clear morning, Ashifa woke up from her sleep. Because the shining sun disturbed his sleep. Asyifa held her head which felt very heavy. While holding his head Ashifa looked at his palm that was already on the bandage making him wonder who did it.
"What's going on?" the inner Asyifa that he might have forgotten about last night's great events.
Asyifa tried to sit down. His body feels very sore. Maybe because of Rafa's dings last night. Asyifa sighed forward by looking at her handpdhon which turned out to be at 2 pm.
It was not morning anymore and perhaps Ashifa was unconscious. Because the weather was so cold and added earlier he was also unconscious.
"I'm bad luck" he said in his weak voice. Not bad luck anymore. But it's more than bad luck.
"O Allah, what happened after last night and Rafa's brother?" Ashifa wondered. He remembers Rafa being angry with him and after that he had no idea what happened again after that.
"I'd better take a shower so that my body is good" said Asyifa with her voice so hoarse.
Asyifa again held her heavy head and slowly went down from the bed to the bathroom to clean up. Maybe he should soak in warm water, for his body to improve.
*********.
Asyifa who has finished bathing and rapi-rapi by wearing her robe and also wrapped in her hijab. Asyifa directly out of the room with her steps that look still very lsmas. Maybe Ashifa must have filled her stomach because it had been rumbling.
Plaac.
Asyifa was shocked when she wanted to go down the stairs to see her mother-in-law Shofia slap Rafa. Asyifa covered her mouth with her face of shock and undo her continued steps down the stairs.
"Your brash son!" shofia Banging
Plakk.
Rafa even got a 2nd slap on a different cheek.
"Well already," Xander tries to calm his wife whose anger is burning because of Rafa's treatment that makes her a heart spot. As soon as I learned from Asyifa. Shofia immediately wanted to rush after Asyifa. His son-in-law Ardi gets a plane ticket with the fastest flight and Shofia's endbha can get to where his son and daughter-in-law are.
A mother's anger is evaporated once it arrives. Rafa has not yet issued 1 word. Shofia had already raised her hand.
"What is this mama's effort all along to raise you Rafa. Mama educated you with religious and social science. Mama never asked you to be an ustadz. Mama educated you so that you would have good sense. But it turns out that what you have been teaching all this time is meaningless. How could a human being possibly do such a lowly thing. In front of his own wife, outrageous," Shofia said with an emphasis on pointing at Rafa's face.
"The woman again. You're still in touch with him and even brought him here. You realize Rafa didn't do it with your actions. You've hurt your wife!"shout Shofia.
"It's not my fault" said Rafa with his heavy voice.
"Whatdidyou say. You're still not admitting your mistake" Shofia said.
"I don't love him. I don't like him and don't know him. I reminded mom and dad before. Please continue the marriage and don't blame me. How will he be in my life. Because I hate him so much. So what I'm doing is a risk he has to take" Rafa said with his face looking very flat.
"I never chose that. You made me do it" said Rafa.
"You're outrageous Rafa. Papa is very disappointed with you. Papa doesn't expect you to fall in love with Asyifa right away. But at least you treated him well. He came from a good family and he himself was a good son. But you hurt his heart. Where do you feel Rafa" said Xander.
"It's dead!"rafa replied, "everything is dead. There is no feeling anymore and that is because of the pressure from mom and dad, too" Rafa said with a cynical smile looking at his mother.
"You're blaming mama?"ask Shofia.
"Then if it's okay. My mother destroyed everything. I obviously have a lover. But marry me to her and it's not my fault me and...,"
"Don't mention the woman's name!" kecak Shofia, "you heard Rafa. If you dare to do all that again. It's not you who will be affected again. The woman you are proud of will get the same. Mama can also be a demon" Shofia told Rafa.
Asyifa who was behind Villar near the stairs again shed her tears. When I heard Rafa's words.
"Before I received the match, I asked you for guidance, O God. And you launched it all. If this is your will. There must be something behind all this. Nothing is easy and maybe you are testing my patience as a wife. If indeed he is my soul mate to heaven later then keep us united. Whatever happens hurts as much as I do. I will hold it, God. For I am sure there must be a beautiful thing behind all this," the inner Asyifa rubbed her sincere chest by accepting her destiny.
Marriage is through God's intervention. He only believed in his creator. For God cannot give trials to his servant beyond the limits of his ability.
*********
Asyifa returned to her room and sat down on the bedside
"I'm not as lucky as my mother in marriage. Which one gets such a gentle father. But mother was not as lucky as I was in my youth before marriage. Mom said her life was full of difficulties and I was full of happiness. Because my father and mother are always there. There are already portions of each Asyifa for human life. Don't keep complaining Ashifa. God only tests you" said Asyifa.
"I seem to have missed. I shouldn't have opened my husband's disgrace. So my husband got a lot of anger. O Allah forgive Asyifa who is still too short-minded in the Asyifa household. That Asyifa should keep the good name of Asyifa's husband and not expose Asyifa's household problems. Forgive Ashypha, O Allah, "the inner Ashypha who realizes her guilt. If what happened should not be done.
Asyifa looked up at the nightstand that there were some medicines.
"What medicine is this" said Ashifa confusedly and saw a piece of paper. Ashifa read it straight away.
..."Take your medicine according to the description. Don't ask me again later. You'll get worse if you dare to do it again. This is the doctor who told you to take your medicine. Not me" Davin wrote....
The writing is very flat. But Asyifa looked fearless and instead curved a thin smile on her face.
"Does he have to stress that the Doctor told him to," murmured Ashifa who seemed to be very comforted by Rafa's attention.
Yes, even though Rafa emphasizes all the words of the Doctor. But Asyifa did not care at all. Because Rafa wrote it.
