The End of Hope
EXPIRE

"Save your money, if the intention is to buy a motorcycle for the needs of my son. I just bought it."

"Yes, keep my money to be made, dong. Later on."

"Hais, where is there, bull money? Give up two and a half percent, it will be a reward for you. Don't bother buying a motorcycle, as long as I can afford it, I'll buy whatever you want ...!"

Naya suddenly removed her seatbelt and shifted slightly from her seat to approach her husband.

Cup. Suddenly Naya kissed Ares' left cheek, making the man turn his head and smile widely.

Naya says 'i love You' with her lips moving silently, Ares responds, pursing her lips like a kiss from afar.

Ahh, sweetness.

Not feeling, they had reached home, Ares drove Naya and Yoni to the apartment door. After pecking on the cheeks of two women he loved, Ares went back to work.

Naya was moved to see the atmosphere of the house which is now her residence. He gave thanks in tears, after closing the door tightly. Her husband is not there, which means she has to take care of herself and her property.

Ares is not a religious person, nor a man with a broad view of religion, but in association and conduct, he has a good deed and conduct.

Before leaving, he forbade Naya to do homework, especially if she refused to do it. There were helpers ready to work on it and Ares was also used to doing everything himself.

Naya was so grateful for what she got. After he had lived an uneasy life. He began to dare to hope again, daring to look at the future, after a long time his hopes and beliefs were like being crushed by the earth.

After finishing making clothes, Naya sat on the living room sofa, holding Yoni. He told the little boy about the life of Amirul mukminin Umar bin Khattab, when he was approached by a man who would complain about his household.

The man was about to knock on the door, when he heard a noise from inside his house. The noise he heard was the voice of the wife of Umar bin Khattab, who was angry and upset with the state of the house, and wanted attention, from Amirul Mukminin. Knowing this, the man abandoned his intentions, and decided to return home. But before he went away, Umar went out of his house and called him.

Amirul Mukminin asked about his need to come to see him. The man answered honestly that he would complain about his wife. According to him, his wife is chatty and often angry, and always expects more attention from him.

The man said, "yes Amirul mukminin, I dropped my complaint, because I saw that you too suffered the same fate as me. But why are you just quiet?"

Umar bin Khattab explained that it is natural as a husband to be silent when facing his wife who is upset.

She said, "Don't scold her, a wife has done all the housework, carried all the burdens alone, took care of the children, gave birth, breastfed and took care of her husband, while her husband is busy outside, not paying attention to her, so it is natural that a wife needs her husband's attention, and she will be upset if her husband does not understand them!"

"So, I let my wife vent her frustration, until she was satisfied, because I was responsible for everything she had done for me" Umar said at the end of his explanation, which made the man understand. Naya ended her story.

At that time Naya said as if to an adult, "As strong as a woman, she still needs a man as the back of her life, when she is upset or becomes chatty, she said, not that he does not want to do his homework, he only needs a little attention from people who have claimed to love him!"

Naya became daydreamed and remembered an advice of a scholar, who said that, tabi'at women should be understood by men, that is, 'if you do good for 1000 years, and you have done wrong once, and all he remembers is your one mistake, and all the good you have done in those 1000 years is lost.'

'God created man, in pairs to complement each other, his flaws and advantages. Herein lies the challenge and cooperation in building a household, so that a family can be realized sakinah, mawadah, warohmah with good faith and noble character.'

This is the same as one of the words of his Prophet who said that 'a good man is a man who is kind to his wives and family, and who is kind to his wife, and verily I am the best of you, of my family'

"Hopefully I can be a good wife to Kak Fanan!" mummified Nawa.

-

A month later.

Towards the weekend, Ares and Naya work together to clean up the house because assistant, who used to help Naya do household affairs is closed. They will stay at Rasti's grandmother's house, because on the weekend tomorrow, there will be an important event for all family members.

"So, brother, let me just mop the floor," said Naya when she saw Ares mopping the floor, she intended to take the floor mopping tool from her husband's hand.

"I can too. Why the hell?"

"It's not good."

"You do the other thing. Let's not cape."

"It's all done."

"That's even worse, when his wife's husband is quiet?"

"You're working with me tonight."

"Sstt, watch out for the kids?"

Ares chuckled, he continued his work, more quickly. They were about to leave, after Ares had finished mopping the floor and all had lunch.

'I fear that when a wife is not sincere, with her homework, the burden that her wife bears on the world, God will place on her husband in the hereafter, all of this has become a common responsibility, he said, as a family, but I'm just an ordinary man, who is not good at religion, not good at educating his wife's inner Ares while finishing lunch.

'I do not want to be a husband who only gives trust, without teaching how to be sincere and qonaah, but forget to teach how to be patient in doing it'

After lunch, the little family left for Rasti and Hendra's house.

Good news for the whole family. Because the time they had been waiting for would soon come. Dinda will build a household, and now is her application day.

Today Danuaza will propose to Dinda to be his wife. All prepare with their own busy lives. Naya was busy preparing dishes.

Suddenly Naya felt dizzy and not strange in her, she immediately went to the bathroom, wanting to vomit due to the immeasurable nausea.

"Naya, what's wrong with you, honey?" ares asked from outside the bathroom, knocking on the door, looking very worried. While Naya just kept spewing out all her entrails in there.

"Ar, try to buy tespack. Who knows if your wife is pregnant." Rasti said while patting his son's shoulder.

Without a second thought, Ares rushed to buy a pregnancy test kit meant by his mother at a convenience store near the house. Soon she arrived back in the room and gave the device to Naya, who was already sitting on the bed with a pale face and a tangled headscarf.

Naya looks at the thing Ares gave her, with a puff.

'Is that possible?' his inner. In the past, she did not get pregnant during her first marriage, even that is what triggered the household rift.

Then, Nawa looked at Ares who was smiling widely while raising her eyebrows.

Although lazy, Naya obeyed her husband's will. He immediately went back into the bathroom.

Some of the female relatives who knew the story about Naya, waited anxiously outside the room.

"If Naya is pregnant, we are all grateful to have a new grandchild, yes, Pah?" rasti said to Hendra who was possessed by everyone.

Before long, Naya came out with a shining face, everyone knew the meaning of the smile on her face. Naya shows the test results to her husband and Ares hugs her tightly, showering kisses all over Nawa's face without missing an inch.

"Well, mine's great, right? I told you you must be pregnant!" ares said excitedly.

"Yes, Brother! Thankfully, God finally trusted me to have a child! thank you!" Nawa said softly in Ares' warm embrace and the man rubbed the tears on his wife's cheek gently.

"Yes, thank you for believing in me!" ares said as he let go of his embrace.

Then, he stepped outside the room to show the test results to Rasti, Dinda and Raya, and right then and there, everyone smiled in relief, they simultaneously said.

"Thank God, Nawa is positive, I want to have another child!" peekik Ares exaggerated.

"Alhamdulillah!" everyone is full of gratitude.
