"Why stop laughing?" tanya Akmal frowned.
Aisyah increasingly felt intimidated by Akmal's sharp gaze, she did not even dare to utter a word at this moment.
"When I like to see you laugh, you know," he said with a facial expression that now turned 180 degrees, he even laughed softly at the end of his sentence.
"You mean?" aisyah asked a little confused, and again there was the sound of laughter from the man.
"I'm sorry, I was just kidding, but I was serious about saying I like to see you laugh, you're getting prettier, even if only your eyes can be seen" Akmal said, making a white face Aisyah now raises a red tinge behind her veil.
"Well let's get back to the topic, Aisyah thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn to be a good husband for you, I accepted this marriage, and I'm so happy." this time Akmal really could not cover the look of happiness on his face.
"You happy? Wh why? Isn't this a sudden wedding for you? You don't know me very well either, do you? and you also know that if you marry a widow, doesn't a young man like you dream of a partner who is worth you, your age might also be younger than me? cecar Aisyah charged Akmal with her question.
Akmal smiled for a moment at the train-like question of his wife. "It's a sudden wedding for me, but I'm happy because I've been interested in you for a long time, even since I first saw you at the dock" Akmal said.
Aisyah was silent for a moment while remembering when she first saw Akmal, and now she can be seen nodding her head. "Okay, I see," he answered.
"I don't know you very well yet, but don't I have more time to get to know you now?" akmal said and was influenced by Aisyah.
"I was a single man before, but I didn't mind your status at all, because in the end our status was the same, I'm your husband and you're my wife." I don't know why Akmal's answer this time sounded so sweet in Aisyah's ears.
"And lastly, I was 28, and you were 24, weren't you?" Aisyah's eyes patterned knowing Akmal's age which turned out to be 4 years older than her.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I think we're the same age," his great-grandson felt guilty because he always called Akmal by calling his name.
"Because you already know, then you better call me Mas, or Brother, or Brother."
"L-yes, I'm fine," replied Aisyah obediently.
Yes, after a few days they went through with a little tension due to a misunderstanding, finally the feelings of the two began to be relieved because the problems at the beginning of their marriage could finally be straightened out, he said, although the two still did not dare to express their feelings clearly. Let everything flow as it is first, while nurturing their feelings for each other before they are ready to be expressed.

The droughts of Akmal's cell phone instantly made the two aware of their lamuman.
"Assalamu 'alaikum, yes, Ma?" akmal.
"..."
"What's? Okay, Ma. We'll be there."
"..."
"Wa'alaikum salutations."
Akmal ended his call, then looked back at his wife.
"Let's go to the hospital, Bang Zafran looking for us," asked Akmal and was nod by Aisyah.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. Akmal knocked on the door and entered Zafran's nursery, followed by Aisyah behind him.
"Loh, Brother Aisyah? Didn't Brother Aisyah come home with Brother Ainun yah?" tanya Aira immediately approached her sister-in-law.
"No, I was just Ainun alone," Java Aisyah reasoned.
"Aisyah, why didn't Ainun come home and say anything?" I asked Sofi a little disappointed.
"Sorry, Mom. This morning Ainun had a teaching schedule at the boarding school so he had to go home early. He had a greeting for Mother and Mr. Zafran," said Aisyah.
"Wa'alaikum salutations." Sofi's mother glanced at Zafran who also answered the greeting but without expression.
"Akmal, the doctor said that my kidneys had started to function properly. So, for now go back to Indonesia with aunt and Aira, let Mama who accompanied me here," said Zafran.
"It's really okay? I can take care of the company while accompanying you here Bang," said Akmal slightly declined.
"Don't be stubborn Akmal, go home later. I've booked tickets for you this afternoon" Zafran said, leaving Akmal silent and nodding obediently.

Ainun had just arrived at his house. He hurried to get ready to go to school. The previous week he had promised his pupil a quiz so that he tried hard to be present to keep his promise.
Not waiting for a long time, now Ainun has arrived at the school yard while parking his yellow matic motor. Simultaneously, ustadz Ridwan had also just arrived and parked his motorbike right next to the Ainun motorbike.
"Assalamu 'alaikum, good morning Ustadzah Ainun, is there a morning schedule?" greet Ustadz Ridwan.
"Wa'alaikum salam, yes Ustadz, if that's what I first well, sir. I've been waiting for you, because" said Ainun immediately leave, making Ustadz Ridwan can only look at the woman in a long hood with lethargy.
"God, it seems I have found a suitable woman to be my wife. She was beautiful and had never been married, "inner Ustadz Ridwan smiled then immediately left for the teachers' office.
A few hours passed so quickly, the teaching time was now over. Ainun walked out of the office towards the parking lot to pick up his motorbike. But again he met with Ustadz Ridwan there.
"Would you like to go home, Ustadzah?" ask the man back.
"Yes Ustadz" Ainun replied as he rode his motorcycle.
"Oh yes, Ustadzah, may I ask for his phone number, who knows if one day I have business with Ustadzah or vice versa" pinta Ustadz Ridwan while displaying his best smile.
"Oh, yes, can be Ustadz," Ainun said.
The girl finally mentioned her number and was immediately recorded by Ustadz Ridwan on her phone.
"Udid Ustadz? If so, excuse me first," Ainun said and then drove his motorbike away from the school yard.

At Kiai Rahman's house, Khaira was so impatient for Aisyah's arrival, she had been waiting in front of the house ever since the woman reported that she would be there in a few minutes.
"Grandmother, Ummi really long." Ghaira grouse who had somehow come out of her small mouth every time she saw Mother Lina who came out of the house to make sure the situation.
Though Lina's mother had suggested that Khaira wait inside the house, but the little girl still insisted on waiting outside the house. A taxi was seen stopping in front of the fence, a veiled woman and a handsome man came out of it.
"Yummiiiii!" khaira shouted as she ran over to the veiled woman and immediately hugged her.
"Assalamu 'alaikum, Khaira, '" said one man, making the girl turn.
"Om Akmal" said Khaira and approached the man. "Om Akmal came again well, yesterday was fine," he asked in wonder.
"Yes, honey, Om is coming again, Om is going to work" Akmal replied as he was.
"We go in first yeah," asked Aisyah because it was not good to get a strange look from the neighbors who saw it.
They also walked into the house and kissed the hands of Mother Lina who was in the family room, after which they headed straight to Aisyah's room.
"Well, how did Om Akmal enter Ummi's room, anyway? Ummi said, Om is not the mahram of Ummi, so do not enter here if there is Ummi," Khaira cerocos, making Akmal look in wonder at Aisyah.
"That was, Mas. I said that before we got married" Aisha whispered.
"Om sleep in the guest room, said Ummi, people not mahram it should not be alone, because the other one is a demon," again Khaira chattered like an adult while pushing Akmal's body out of Aisyah's room and immediately closing it.
"Yes, the third is indeed a demon, and his little devil is you, Khaira," dumel Akmal spoke to himself like a man reading a mantra.
