The Love of Habib
Chapters 29.8
"Son, your parents' responsibility to you has now passed to Khalid, your husband. Ridho Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala now lies in the ridho of your husband. If Khalid is pleased with you, Allah will be pleased with you. And if Khalid is angry with you, then Allah will not be pleased with you, Son. Remember this well in your heart. Treat Khalid well and try to be a good wife for him. A wife who listens to what she commands, a wife who obeys what she wants, a wife who is good at making her smile, a wife who is always in her grief and her love, a wife who is willing to endure hardships or ease with him, and becomes a wife who is always there for him. Son..." Holds Aish's hand tightly.
Unknowingly the aunt began to sob because the habib is now no longer alone because he has a companion. And the most relieved thing is, the woman who will be with him spend the rest of the time is the most beloved woman, Aisha Rumaisha.
"Be aware that Khalid was used to living alone since his parents left. He grew up before his time. I am used to doing a lot of things on my own. And at such a small age, he had been able to bear the responsibility. It is keeping you in his heart and trying to cultivate patience until you become completely yours. Aunty wouldn't lie to you that the women who liked Khalid were countless. These are people who have extraordinary backgrounds. Among all the options, they were willing to be second or last as long as they could marry Khalid. But Khalid never put into the heart all the suitors' sayings. Temptation is so great but he still refuses because in his heart there is only you. Therefore Aish, please treat my son sincerely. I beg you never to disappoint him, for he has gone through many hardships to find you. I was a witness to how sincere the feeling felt towards you. In any case, we see that he always puts you first in everything. If not for the agreed time agreement, then he would have brought you back here many years ago. But with all the difficulties he refrained only from disappointing your Mama. He loves you, but he respects you. So we beg of you, treat him with sincerity. And give him happiness." While crying sobbed but I beg with very sincere words to Aish.
Heard what my aunt said. Aish's heart trembled in pain for her husband. All this time she only knew that her husband was raised by an uncle's family. The rest she did not know how hard her husband's struggle so far. Fortunately, aunt told me about the experience experienced by her husband, although short, it was very helpful for Aish.
"Auntie, trust me. To me, Khalid's brother is my world, the occupant of my heart. If she cries then I will cry anyway, if she is happy then I will be very happy. My husband is the benchmark of my life, aunt. Like I said, joy and sorrow will be shared. So you don't have to worry about me upsetting her or sad, because honestly, she's the source of my pain and happiness. I make her laugh and smile every day, I promise!"
Aunty laughed in relief at Aish's childish promise. Her pretty face pretended to appear seriously adorable. Ah, seeing how beautiful and charming her Aish is, auntie felt it was only natural that Habib Khalid could not turn to another woman. Because Aish has exceeded their value all in the eyes of the habib.
