The Light of Love in a Third Night
twenty four's
three days shanum was absent from his studies, due to illness. several times also adnan asked him to move to his room, but he refused, as a result zainab, kk in-law adnan who takes care of shanum in pesantren.
shanum continued to shiver, his body was hotter, zainab with tlaten changed the cloth attached to the forehead shanum, he did not have the heart to see shanum so tormented, al results after changing the cloth, he went back to Dalem, he told adnan everything.
Adnan who heard it all went immediately, went into the pesantren, before he asked his brother-in-law, Zainab to send santri into the musholla, he would take care of shanum himself.
He brought shanum to his room, he took care of shanum painstakingly, rubbed his hands and head gently, and changed the cloth attached to Shanum's forehead.
" adnan, we are not mahrom, why are you touching me" said shanum lirih
" shame shanum, you'll be my wife, let me take care of you" replied adnan softly, heartbroken, as he said that, it hurt his heart when he could not be free with his own wife.
" i haven't answered you yet" the weak shanum's voice made Adnan more slashed at his words.
" shanum syakira smit, please accept, let me be your halal friend, today, so that I can freely take care of you and guide you" please adnan.
" deddy isn't here, adnan, where can it be?"
" if you agree we will ask for his blessing and later there will be people who will represent your abi to say ijab, if you are healed we will do ijab again with your deddy" clearly adnan, shanum seemed to think for a while, then he nodded in agreement.
" al hamdulillah, wait here I will tell abi everything" shanum just nodded slowly, when he came out he closed his eyes again.
Two hours adnan did not return, only zainab, ummi and sukainah who were beside him.they said adnan was doing ijab qobul in front of the musholla
" god is this my decision" bathin shanum, just now he will ask ummi, adnan first came and went into the room.
Ummi and the others opt out giving both time.
" may I pray for you and kiss your forehead" adnan said
" yes, isn't that one of the things that husbands do when they do ijab qobul?" adnan nodded, then he did his job.
" have you eaten?" adnan asked after praying shanum.
" no, my tongue tastes bitter adnan, I don't like the food" replied shanum honestly
" what do you want to eat? "
" i want meat soup"
" what if tomorrow, I'll make it for you, now eat this first! I know not to be bitter"
" what?, don't tell me you want to give it through your mouth," shanum stared at the suspicious adnan, smiling mischievously.
" no adnan! I don't want to, and stop doing that disgusting thing, you're my husband now, but not in excess, I don't love you, don't force me, don't force me, and please be patient until the time is undetermined, I only regard you as a friend no more "shanum circus
" okay, ok, I'm sorry, now eat, I won't ask for more from you, until you give it to yourself" Adnan explained.
adnan lay shanum in his arms, he could still feel the heat of his wife's body,
" even though I can't have you now, but at least you're willing to accept me" bathin adnan.
" would you please be patient with me a little, until I can really accept you completely?"
" i'll be patient with you shanum, until anytime"
" and promise me don't you betray my trust, if you've got me all you can ?"

Adnan had been awake since 3 am, he did not wake shanum, he knew shanum was a guest, so he deliberately did not wake her, he let shanum rest.
The sun had infiltrated from the sidelines of the window of the room, adnan fluttered the curtain so that the air in his room changed with a new one.
But he did not know, if the morning sunlight hit the face of shanum who sleeps and of course the light disrupts shanum sleep.
" adnan, "congratulations shanum.
Adnan smiled and sat down next to Shanum
" i want to go to the bathroom, my body is better, now I'm going to take a shower" he said
" no need, rest until you're fully recovered"
" no I don't like to sleep on, it's gonna make my body even more sick"
" all right, but let me bathe you"
" what?? you're crazy adnan" shanum chanted, he was upset at adnan from last night always provoking his anger.
" hay don't think shanum weird, I didn't tell you to take off all your clothes, I told you to wear a scabbard to cover your body, you just sit on a chair, and I'll flush you! I'm sure you won't be strong for long, and my bathroom doesn't have a bathtub" he said.
" no ah, I don't want to, I'm strong to do it myself"
" well," replied Adnan.
Shanum got up walking to the bathroom helped by adnan, he sat shanum in the chair and then came out again.
" shanum, I will go downstairs to prepare your breakfast first" said Adnan after closing the door.
"hmmm, "
Adnan brought his wife's breakfast into the room, looking shanum was fresh, he was combing her hazel hair.
" this is your soup, which you asked for last night, eat it! let me comb your hair" pinta adnan, Shanum give the comb to adnan, then start eating the meat soup and porridge brought by adnan.
" shanum, later mom and daddy mua will come" said Adnan then put the comb on the table.
" what time?"
"maybe this afternoon, abi said he would board the plane "
"hmm, adnan I want to tell you about one thing I have to do, because when I came here I didn't finish the job" Shanum said with a heart.
" what ? tell me, if you really think I'm on your side! say whatever it is even if it should hurt me" adnan said, shanum fell silent with adnan's heart-piercing speech
" i'm sorry I'm still not accepting you, but I promise I'll learn to accept you be patient! trust me I will try it, because I have never seen you respect me" said shanum, but not with adnan in his heart he kept all to himself
" what if he knew that I had lied to him, if I had been married a month ago, and what if he knew that there was no ijab qobul last night as he knew it" bathin adnan, he hugged the body of shanum tightly, he was really afraid if someday everything would be dismantled.
