The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 51

For some reason tonight Hani wants to eat rice Padang which is not far from their restaurant. He was still waiting for Faiq who was talking to Handoko and Mr. Arman in their workspace.

“Mbak Hani doesn't eat?” asked Lina who was accompanying Hasya who had finished eating.

The Goddess and Hesti looked at Hani who was stirring her food from earlier without taste. The twins have been in their room for 5 minutes.

“It looks good Padang rice yes, Lin.” Hani swallowed his saliva imagining Padang rice with his coconut milk.

“What is it that Hani is pregnant? Why suddenly want rice Padang?”

Dewi and Hesti were not happy to hear the conversation of the two. It's outside their plan.

“No, I just came months.” Hani said casually, seeing the spots in his underwear when he took a shower this afternoon.

Dewi and Hesti were relieved to hear Hani's words. Smiles spread across both faces.

Hani's feelings are getting more agitated. His desire to eat rice Padang really can not refuse. At 9 p.m., Faiq had already entered their room.

“Mas, I want to eat Padang rice. Can I take you?”

Faiq looked at her, “Why don't you appreciate mom. He's been struggling to cook for us.”

“Not that I don't appreciate mom, but I really want to eat rice Padang.” Hani said softly.

“You are making it hard.” Quickly Faiq got up from the bed.

Seeing Hani who was downcast sadly made Faiq speechless. He grabbed a jacket and car keys at Hani's dresser.

“Come quickly. It's almost 10pm.”

Although sad, but a small smile rose on Hani's lips. She immediately wore a jacket and an instant hijab hanging in the closet.

When going down the stairs, suddenly the Goddess with a goopoh came to both. His face looks pale.

“Nak Faiq, please help Hesti. He fell in the bathroom..”.

Faiq hastily followed the steps of the Goddess into the guest room. He saw a grimacing Hesti stomping his feet inside the bathroom. Faiq immediately picked her up and carried her to the bed.

“What happened, why didn't you call me?” Faiq said softly as he stomped on Hesti's ankle.

Hani is waiting outside the room. He was also worried to hear the situation of Hesti. He did not dare to enter their room. Slowly Hani stepped onto the sofa of the living room, waiting for Faiq.

Hesti and Dewi were happy because Faiq did not take Hani to go outside to look for Padang rice.

“Do I need to find a masseuse? I'm afraid your legs will be swollen, and it's getting harder to take the road?” Faiq looked at Nesti anxiously.

“I don't think it's necessary. Mas Faiq's massage has made it feel good.” Hesti smiled at her sweet smile.

After some time Faiq regained his senses, Hani was still waiting for him outside. “I'll drive Hani looking for rice Padang.”

“Mas, please don't leave me.” Hesti whined spoiledly looking at Faiq. “My feet hurt again, if the mas stops scolding her.”

“Good. I'll tell Hani to cancel his wish.”

A smile rose on the face of the Goddess and Nesti heard Faiq's words. They were happy to see Faiq starting to ignore Hani and her children.

Faiq approached Hani who was still patiently waiting for him on the living room sofa. He casually opened the jacket and placed the car keys on the table.

“I'm sorry I couldn't take you. Tomorrow you can find it yourself. Hesti is in pain, and I can't leave him.” Without waiting for Hani's reply, Faiq passed from before him back to the room of Hesti.

Hani massaged her chest that felt tight. Her tears flowed unstoppably. With heavy steps he walked back towards their room. Last night Hani cried feeling pain at Faiq's attitude.  When he woke up in the middle of the night, he did not see the presence of Faiq by his side. His mind began to fret, will his household can he maintain until the end…

The morning was like the usual day, after preparing Faiq's clothes, Hani immediately went to Hasya's room and the twins.  Carrying the rather fussy Hasya, Hani walked towards the dining room.

He saw the twins having breakfast because Faiq had left for work early. He only heard the conversation of Dewi and Hesti who said that Faiq had a meeting with a client at the company.

Hani's concentration is divided considering the household that now feels bland. His communication with Faiq is no longer as intelligent as it used to be. Moreover, Faiq's increasingly cold attitude towards himself and the children.

“What's bothering you?” Roses looked at him with concern, as Hani was not excited upon arriving at his office. “What's because of that actor?”

“I don't know, mbak. Mas Faiq is not as warm as before.”

“Since when did he change like that?”

Hani was stunned for a moment, “Semenjak bu Dewi and Nesti stayed at home, his attitude began to cool. Mas Faiq no longer took the time to play with children.  Time more used chatting with bu Dewi and Nesti.”

“I think Faiq was hit by magic.” Roses said then, “You know, the area of origin of Hesti itukan still many who use the thing.”

“I don't believe Faiq is used.” Hani shook his head, “Mas Faiq his worship is strong.”

“Eh, make no mistake. The science of the pellets is part of magic. Our apostles have been exposed to magic. Hence there are verses in al-Qur’an to avoid witchcraft sent by people who intend evil.” The rose said seriously.

Hani looked at the Rose doubtfully. “I don't know what to do, mbak. Their marriage agreement has been over for a month. But there seems to be no desire for Faiq to divorce Hesti.”

“Instead it. They tried to control Faiq through his magic. You must find someone who can treat Faiq, so that he can regain consciousness from their magical influence.”

Hani ponders the word Rose. The Rose's words make sense. But he's not too sure. And Hani does not know, who to ask for help, when Hanif has started a new life in a very distant place.

Hani is shocked when he returns home, seeing vases strewn and broken glasses scattering on the floor.

“What do you do.?” Hani brushed off the hand of the Goddess who was still holding Ariq's ear.

“Mas just picked up the ball that slipped out of Ali's hand. Accidentally nudging aunt who walked carrying drinks.” Ariq told Hani.

Hani looks at Hesti who is sitting on the sofa while playing a cell phone. He looked at Ariq's words. Means hesti just pretended not to be able to walk, and they've been lied to.

“Mbak Hesti has healed and hid it from us?” Hani looked at Hesti sharply.

“Intrusive. I deserve to stay here. I am also Faiq's wife. I will defend our marriage. You accept it or not, no problem for me.”

“I don't think you guys could do that.” Hani looked at Hesti and his mother with a feeling of disappointment and anger mixed into one, “You have misused the trust of Faiq. I'll tell you your lies to Faiq.”

“Not a problem you want to say what. Because Faiq is now in my grasp. We both love each other.”.

“I can't believe it. Mas Faiq never loved mbak Hesti.”

“You should be self-aware. You are a widow. Unbecoming a wife of Faiq.”

“Please take care of your words mbak Hesti. I appreciate you because you are a guest in this house.”

Hesti laughed cynically, “Do you forget, I am also Faiq's wife. So our position is the same in this house. Just look, soon Faiq will soon legalize our marriage.”

“That would never have been possible. I will take care of our household. Mas Faiq won't dote on me. Mas Faiq will divorce you soon.” Hani replied to Hesti loudly.

“I think you will come down from this house.  I'll bet.” Hesti smiled with arrogance. He felt on the wind. “It will soon be our wedding photos that will decorate this house.”

Hani was troubled to hear Hesti's words. Half-heartedly he denied it, but on the other hand, he himself saw and felt how much Faiq cared for his young wife. Moreover, their marriage is legal in the eyes of religion.

“Whatever I will do for the happiness of Nesti. Because you're the one who took Faiq from his side.” The goddess also cornered Hani.

“You are only a widow. It's not worth getting a single guy like Faiq. I'll soon have a whole Faiq mas.  He will release you soon.” Haesti arrogantly walked away from Hani.

“What happened?”

Hearing Faiq's voice, Hesti instantly flopped down beside the living room sofa. He immediately stomped both of his legs while grimacing in pain.

Faiq looked at the chaos that was happening in the room. He approached Hesti who was sitting down with tears.

“Mas Ariq accidentally nudged aunty who brought a drink, until the glass fell on a vase.” Ali said with a frightened face.

“Hest train his feet to walk, when both of them enter play ball.” The goddess answered Faiq's question. His eyes were staring at the twins.

“But I've seen aunty walk in her room a lot.” Ariq tried to convince Faiq.

“Papa has told you not to play ball inside the house.” Jerky Faiq hard.

“We're not playing, papa. The ball slipped out of Ali's hand. And I want to take it, but accidentally hit aunt..”.

“Why are you getting so brazen?” Faiq was upset, because every time he said the twins always answered him. “Where are you polite?”

“Mas, please listen to the children talk.” Hani was offended that Faiq was yelling at his two children. Things Faiq never did all this time.

“That should hear it they. These little ones are good at lying.” Faiq is increasingly upset to hear Hani's defense of the twins. “I'm not calm leaving Nesti at home, if things are like this..”.

“I'm fine. I just got home from work tired.” Hesti said softly, caressing Faiq's hand which was on his shoulder.

“I'll take you to room.” Regardless of where Hani and her children were, Faiq picked up Nesti and escorted her to the room.

Hani took her two sons to their room. He calmed himself down so as not to cry in front of the two. Once there he saw Hasya who had slept with Lina.

He hugged the twins with a raging feeling. He endured the pain of Faiq's attitude, but he could not bear to see his two sons being yelled at and treated harshly before his own eyes.

“Mother, does papa make you sad?” Ali looked at the dreamy Hani as she stroked Hasya's hair that was soundly asleep.

“No darling. Mother is not sad.”

“But why are you crying?” Ariq grasped Hani's trembling hand.

Hearing Ariq's words, Hani's tears were unstoppable. He hugged the two tightly. “Down dear you guys. Whatever happens, the three of you strengthen mother.”

“Tante and grandma very evil.” Ariq looked at Hani sadly, “They have hurt mother.”

Hani was surprised to hear both of his leaks say such a thing. He shook his head, “No dear. Grandma and aunt are very nice. They have helped mommy in this house.”

“But grandmother often scolded us, and said that papa did not love us and mother. Papa only loves Aunt Hesti and her son.” Ariq complained to Hani what the Goddess had told him.

“Annya?” Hani's heart beats fast, “Are they already...”.

“Tante also often pinches the grandpa, until it cries..”.

Hani could not believe hearing Ariq's words. His mind began to travel far away. He could not let the matter drag on for longer. He will ask for Faiq's firmness tonight, no matter what.
