"Then..." Abah spoke again in memory of his bitter past.
"When Habib Talib told Abah that, Abah's heart was devastated to see Nasifa's happiness shattered in an instant. Abah spoke seriously with Habib, hoping that he would accept your brother as his second wife so that Nasifa's happiness would not be ruined. But habib Thalib gave me a very firm answer and an aura of calmness that was so overwhelming at such a young age. He said one trust was enough and he didn't need another. Abah was very amazed by the answer but also sad because Nasifa could not be with him. Then, "Abah brought his old eyes to look at Nadira, his beloved daughter who was raised carefully and attentively. Usually this princess likes to smile cheerfully, be spoiled, and be gentle. But this time all of it disappeared replaced by the sound of sobbing cries that were heartbreaking with stubborn firmness.
The second daughter fell in the same hole as her first daughter.
"6 months ago when the new Habib Thalib joined the cottage, Abah offered Nadira to him. Hoping that the habib would make Nadira his second wife. But again habib Thalib rejected me with the same answer. He had only one trust in this world and in his life, he would always keep this trust, spending time with him in joys and sorrows. After getting this answer, Abah knew that Nadira had no chance as well so Abah never mentioned the habib of Thalib to you. My kids.." Abah got up from his seat and walked up to his two daughters.
Sitting crouched on the floor, Abah took her daughters' hands and held them tightly.
"Surely Abah regretted the decision of Habib Talib, but I could do nothing. Habib Thalib made the decision 16 years ago and until now, he still stands at the same decision. Abah has no way out on this issue and just pray that you two get even better men, who accepts and loves you wholeheartedly as Habib Thalib did to his spouse. Abah also hopes that you can be the only woman in the heart of each of your future husbands, just as Habib Thalib did to his partner. My children, strengthen your hearts and be sincere. Believe me, this failure is part of Allah SWT's scenario against you in this world. Inshaa Allah, perhaps Allah SWT has prepared a good priest for you, a priest who always guides you to the straight path and can be united with our ancestor, the prophet Muhammad Saw. Rest assured my children, this must be the way Allah SWT loves you. Only by slinging your chest and mengikhlaskan everything, the destiny that you should get will come to you." Abah's voice was very heavy when comforting these two daughters.
Abah tonight looks a lot older ten years later. It was as if Abah had gone through a lot of exhausting and emotionally draining things to make the wrinkles on her face even clearer.
Only God knows, just by seeing his daughters weep like this his heart is crushed and crushed by an invisible force. So hurtful.
"Change... Abah, habib Thalib really said that?" Nadira asked in her sobs.
Abah smiled wryly, "Right, son." Reply confirms.
Nadira's heart was completely destroyed. He immediately threw himself into Abah's arms and cried as much as he could. Crying sobbed sadly, his voice was very heart-wrenching inside the chest. Making Umi and Abah's eyes reddened to endure the pain for the wounds of her daughters.
"Alright, let go. let go of everything." Umi sat next to Nasifa and carried her eldest daughter into her warm embrace.
Unleash it. Before the step is too far and the wound is too deep, then it is better to just let go.
*****
At two o'clock in the morning, Aish woke up from her sleep. He sat on the bed looking at the sleeping face beside him who was asleep without any burden. Then his eyes looked at the bed next door, seeing his best friend who was also sleeping soundly. Perhaps due to trauma, Gisel hugged his chest while sleeping to protect his money from the same heist.
"Not slept?" A cold voice shocked Aish.
If he did not know this voice well, then maybe he had shouted from a few seconds ago so shocked. Greeting midnight when everyone is asleep, who is not afraid to try?!
"Sister.sister Khalid!" Aish shifted her body towards the window. And sure enough, the habib was already standing there fused together with the silence of the night. What a beautiful sight. Everything looks more beautiful when you see the head and shoulders of the habib bathed by the moonlight.
Seeing the habib, Aish's heart immediately beat fast.
Under the faint moonlight, habib Khalid could see Aish's cute pouting face.
Habib held an amused smile on his face and tried to maintain his cold look.
Aish pouted, but hearing the habib's cold tone just now, he felt very guilty. Because habib Khalid is still angry about yesterday's incident. Ugh, who told habib Khalid to get in the same car as Nadira! If not, right, he and his two friends will not be reckless!
"I just woke up and can't sleep anymore." Aish's tone of voice weakened.
"Oh. Soon pray tahajud, rather than sleep better use this opportunity to repeat your memorization. Where have you been?" Habib Khalid rarely checked Aish's shipment.
Aish's mouth immediately twitched hearing her question. Doubtful, his hands were crimping his blanket cloth afraid of being embarrassed as well.
"What's wrong? Why just shut up?" Ask the habib.
Aish looked at Habib Khalid's face behind the window. It was okay he thought, habib Khalid could do nothing to him.
"New four."
"Four? Four juices? Thank goodness."
Aish hurriedly waved his hand in denial.
"Not four juices, but four letters, sis." Said correcting.
Habib Khalid went silent. Aish suddenly felt goosebumps seeing the silence of the habib.
"This.letter of Al-Fatiha, letter of Al-Ikhlas, letter of Al-Falak, and letter of An-Nas. Hehehehe.four short letters, brother."
Hearing this explanation, habib Khalid grew even more silent. He looked at Aish without even blinking a single glance!
This is so scary!
Aish felt like he was being stared at by a beast.
"Versseats?" Habib Khalid asked in a low tone of voice.
Aish gulped his saliva rough. Blame him who is too late and has not memorized the verse of the chair!
"Still...half?" Aish replied hesitatingly.
Habib Khalid took a deep breath, his eyes closed withstanding the urge within him.
"Aish." Call her in a lower voice.
