The Choice of Abah
Should have been me

Finally they continued to the usual place, enjoying the evening of my jaunts with sheets of blankets and white towels. The ceiling was dark, and the light was dim.

After completing her work, Nabila's face was so tired, she began to suspect and look for the whereabouts of her husband.

"Ustadz see where Brother Ozi is?" Ask When.

"No Bill..." Answer Ustadz Burhan.

Nabila continued to search and ask with people close to Ozi and the foundation board.

"Where did it go?" Ask in your heart.

He was too tired to find, to fall asleep in the living room. Abah went into his room. Until Nabila woke up again and cooked midnight food for pilgrims who still continue to recite the holy verse of the Quran, but Ozi has not returned.

"Oh my God, wear dead again his HP." Kuluh Nabila's.

The sound of tahrim had resounded, but still Ozi had not returned.

"God protect my husband, save him from the way you do not want, O Lord."

Nabila tidied back the house that began to be quiet from the pilgrims. The voice of Adzan Fajr was already reverberating. From a distance she saw the light of a car light, after passing in front of her, it was not her husband's car.

When she did not dare to contact him, she waited patiently.

"Assalamualaik." What a relief, like the hot sun used to rain, when he heard the voice of Ozi.

"Greetings Walaikum." Responded Nabila who did not dare to ask where her husband went. Ozi went straight into the room, and covered her body with a blanket.

After completing her task, Nabila smelled an unusual perfume, and she knew it was not her husband's perfume, again she was silent.Nabila fell asleep beside Ozi.

____________ oOo_______________

After waking up, Ozi immediately rushed back to the bath, and left again, he attended Dhea's wedding.

"I met people first well, if Abah is looking to say so, don't overdo it."

"Yes Brother."

Ozi drove his vehicle so quickly and hastily. He didn't want to lose the moment he saw Dhea sitting in the mop. Arriving at the building where Dhea and Jonathan were married, he saw Ale was busy arranging the event. Ozi approaches Dhea and Jonathan, to Jonathan's warm welcome.

"Hey Bro, come on, yeah?" Ask Jonathan.

"Yes Koh, though late and not from the beginning."

"Not what..."

"Congratulations Dhea, may you be a lifetime and happy couple."

"Makasi yah, please taste the food."

Ozi restrains jealousy, upon seeing Dhea and Jonathan get married. He knew very well the concept of marriage that Dhea chose, similar to when they promised if they married later, wanted to be decorated with red and white tulips, like, likewise, the bridal room is decorated with red tulips and two white pigeons, and a burning candle.

But now it is precisely what they have planned, precisely for another man who became his life companion. As Jonathan changes clothes, Dhea approaches Ozi, "you're okay, right? Sorry huh?"

"It's okay."

"Have you eaten first, huh? I'm afraid Jo's suspicious."

While enjoying the prewedding video he made, Ale approached him.

"Lo didn't take Nabila?"

"No, he's busy taking care of tahlil for later malem, why the hell?"

"At least bring him, and introduce him to Dhea."

"That's my right, bro, it's none of your business!"

"Now it's not my business, but if you have a problem, then it's my business."

"Lo why the hell?!"

"Gw? Well do not just think with the elo attitude, already have a partner still just snatch the couple people."

"Gw don't want you to take care of me personally?!" Ozi.

"Okay if you so want, I won't interfere."

Ale leaves Ozi, and lets him sit alone.Ozi enjoys his pain behind the smiles and laughter of Dhea and Jonathan.

"Dhea, Jo...I'm saying yes?"

"Loh..where are you? How rushed?!" As usual, Jonathan asked.

"There is something to take care of again" replied Ozi briefly.

"Thanks yes." Dhea.

"OK..."

Dhea continued to watch Ozi's steps, until she was lost behind the building's exit.

_________oOo____________

Nabila along with several foundation administrators prepare for tahlil later that night, which must be prepared from morning, before the Ashar Ozi adhan just returned from home. He just sat there pensively and seemed to still not accept Dhea's marriage, only because of differences in belief he could not sit side by side with people he had long known and fought for.

(When you listen to Armada Yah's song? )

I'm not happy, seeing you happy with her

I'm hurt, can't get you completely

I got hurt, saw you making out with him

'I'm not happy, seeing you happy

I should have been there, with you and not him

It should be me you love and not him

You should know that my love is more than her

What you should have chosen was not him

'I'm not happy, seeing you happy with her

'I'm not happy, seeing you happy

I should have been there, with you and not him

It should be me you love and not him

You should have known…

Alas, the rice has become porridge, what to say, if not enjoyed. Nabila approached her husband who looked so sad.

"Sister, want to eat? Or if you make warm tea?"

"By Bil..."

In his mind remembered the attitude and speech of Ale friend from childhood, although it made him a little disturbed, but he digested well what his friend said.

"Now it's not my business, but if you have a problem, then it's my business." He recalled Ale, who seemed to leave a sign that there would be a big problem that Ozi would face later.

"What because of envy? I can hang out with Dhea and I still have a wife." Say it in the heart.

"But I know very well who Ale is, and indeed he did a lot of gw when I again had a problem. Bodolah, I just walk what I can walk today, do not know tomorrow what will happen, and I can not lie to myself, if I still love Dhea."

When Nabila returned and brought her a glass of warm tea, she felt that her husband was facing a problem.

"Drink her tea, still anget sis."

"Yes Bill....Yes rice?"

"Sama-sama Brother, oh yes Kaka why? How daydreaming? And look so sad."

"Ah, that's okay. There are many thoughts Bill."

"What did Umi think? Or is there an attitude of Nabila that makes Brother upset?!"

"You problem left Umi must be sad, and if Nabila asks if there is a wrong attitude Nabila? You can only answer, honestly you learn to love Nabila."

Ozi's words made Nabila speech silent, 'learn to love.' Those last words that made Nabila pensive.
