The Love of Habib
Chapters 30.8

Habib Khalid was drying bed linen on the balcony. Then they went downstairs together. Under uncle and aunt were already waiting for them to have breakfast together. Aish did not realize that the sun was shining softly outside because she was too cool to talk to her husband in the room.

And she was very sorry for not being able to help auntie cook in the kitchen. Though aunty is old, for her old age, according to Aish aunty does not deserve to work again in the kitchen. Aunty is more suitable to relax with uncle outside, enjoy old time together. It was a very romantic thing in old age.

"The next time aunt calls me when she wants to do something."

"Son, don't worry too much. This job is nothing to me. I would rather move than sit back. My body immediately becomes uncomfortable if I laze at home. Besides, I'm not doing everything alone, my son. We have a housekeeper in this house. With their help, I will not be exhausted. Besides, you are a new replacement. Auntie knows you must be exhausted, so aunt won't call you. Even the aunt wanted to send food upstairs for the two of you. Aunty's afraid that you can't get down on the floor because of Khalid." Say aunty with a meaningful smile.

Every newlywed has a hard day on the first day. Not infrequently they can not get out of the room because it is not comfortable to move. So after a long wait downstairs, I assume that Aish is unable to come down because she has a 'new bride' problem'. That's why I thought I wanted to bring Aish food upstairs.

Needless to mention, Aish's face instantly became hot. He shook his head to argue. How could he be that weak?

"Auntie... Don't think too much. Next time I'll help."

Aunt smiled warmly. He glanced at his nephew who was putting on a proud expression on the face, seeing him like this made aunt helpless as well as feeling amused. His nephew looks childish today. He was no longer young and had a wife by his side.

"Well, let's eat before the food gets cold." Uncle leads.

Today's breakfast is no different from home meals and is very different from breakfast at the boarding house. Breakfast is just porridge. Pondok pesantren never provide bread or fried rice. Well for thousands of santri and santriwati, giving bread and fried rice definitely requires spending a lot of money.

"What would Mas Khalid eat?" Aish took the plate for her husband.

"Give up, be like yourself." He said he wouldn't get dizzy.

It just so happened that Aish wanted to eat fried rice, so she took fried rice for her husband with a ceplok egg and a spoonful of chicken milk. After that, he served the same portion to himself.

"Want a drink?" Habib Khalid thrust a class of slightly yellowish red water into Aish.

Aish stared at the drink. The color immediately reminded Aish of the color of turmeric. When I was a child, my grandmother always gave him and Aira turmeric water to drink early in the morning. He said it was good for health. But Aish never got used to it as much as she drank it. The smell is pungent and the distinctive taste of turmeric cannot be hidden by sugar water or lime so he does not like to drink turmeric water.

But if her husband asks her to drink turmeric water again then she will not refuse.

"What water is this, mas?" After being kissed there is no fragrance of turmeric.

Even the smell is very good. Reminds Aish of the candy that once habib Khalid gave in the boarding house. The money is exactly like this. Attractively.

Just the color of candy and drinking water has a huge difference. If the candy has a milk brown color, then this drinking water actually has a red color of turmeric as if made from turmeric.

"Try." Urge the Habib with a sweet smile on his lips.

"Ne, bismillah..." Aish took a sip, it was sweet and sour at the same time.

In addition Aish can feel the touch of milk in it. Though the smell of milk is not too conspicuous in this drink. If Aish hadn't drank it, he wouldn't have known there was milk in this drinking water.

"Likes?"

Aish nodded.

"Like, mom. What drink is this, my mother? The color is unique." Aish is still curious.

"Consecret. From today we will drink this drink one glass together every morning. Do you want to?"

Aish blushed in embarrassment. Every day drinking in the same glass, God willing, how could Aish not want to?

"You, mas. Why not want to?" Aish then returned the glass again to her husband.

Habib took the glass from Aish's hand. Then under the eyes of everyone, he drank all the remaining water in the glass completely. But the thing that made Aish shocked the most was that Habib drank the drinking water through the lips that he left.

Aish was very sure that it was her lip marks because the mark was very clear. Embarrassed, he turned his face pretending to stare at the plate. Hiding the red hue that began to develop on both of his cheeks.

Aish's frantic reaction was of course captured by the husband. He thinks Aish's reaction is cute and funny. The attitude of the driver often makes Habib's heart tingled. He had the urge to pinch the top of his wife's nose in anxiety, but upon seeing the ambiguous smiles of aunt and uncle, he immediately undoes his intentions.

"The newlywed couple is indeed being sweet. Auntie hope you two will continue like this congratulations on carrying out this longest service. If you encounter a problem, do not be afraid and make impulsive decisions. Talk about the problem well. If you two find a dead end, then turn to us. Find an uncle, aunt or other to help you solve the problems you face. Remember, whatever the problem must have a way out, no matter how difficult the problem is. The key is that you both have to be more patient to deal with every problem because marriage is about the cooperation of both parties to be able to solve it with victory." Aunt was touched to see them both. It feels so good and pampering the eyes. So he unknowingly uttered a word of advice for the household life of his nephew better in the future.

"Auntie, thank you for the advice. Me and Khalid, God willing, will remember the advice of aunt." Aish said thank you.

Uncle also spoke, "Should work together between the two sides. Khalid, be a good husband and leader for your wife. Guide your wife to the path that Allah is pleased with and always involve God in all matters of both of you. Then my son, Aish. Be a good wife and future mother to your children with Khalid. Obey what your husband says. As long as your husband commands goodness, you must obey it and not violate it, because the husband's riddho is God's riddho. The rest you two can think about. I'm sure you're both grown up, already able to make a decision for yourself so the two of you choose to live together now. My hope and your aunt and the rest of the family, we hope that you both have a good household, mutual care, and harmony. Do you two understand what I said?" Uncle smiled slightly as he looked at the new husband and wife.

Khalid and Aish looked at each other. Smiling softly, the Habib grabbed his wife's hand and grasped gently. Uncle and aunt have long considered him his parents. Their attention always lives in the heart of Habib. Uncles and aunts were always there for him after both his parents left this world. They both always helped Habib Khalid overcome every problem and taught him to face the problem. So he has a lot of respect for them. Now listening to the advice of the two of them to him, Habib's heart trembled and was also sad. I don't know, the role of uncle and aunt in his life has been so important that he hopes they stay here with him.

Too bad uncle and aunt have children who are always ready to take care of them so that the Habib has no chance.

"Uncle, aunt," Staring at the two of them with a gaze full of reverence, he then said, "I and my wife have heard the words of both of you. God willing, we will both carry out all your counsel, especially in everything we will involve God in our marriage. Nothing is more important than getting rid of Allah, the Lord of the Worlds who created us and brought us together in marriage. Of course we do not forget that the purpose of our marriage is to worship, to get the pleasure of Allah. So it is only natural that we face every trial that comes upon us because Allah has told us before that every servant will be tested of their faith until the time of His decree comes."

Hearing Habib's words, the uncle became even more sure of him. There is nothing to worry about from this nephew. For habib Khalid had a very mature mind before his age. He is also a good business boy. So uncle is not too worried about the marriage of the habib.

"Thank God you know that. Uncle and aunt are now completely relieved."

Aish looked at her husband in admiration. Her husband is not only good at talking sweetly, but also good at saying wise words. Fortunately, men should marry with her who is full of flaws.

"After breakfast, the two of you enter the living room. There are your wedding gifts there. Uncle and aunt can't help you open it because we have business with other people. If you need help, just call a housekeeper." Aunt suddenly remembered the wedding gift of her nephew.

Because of too much, all the wedding gifts were forced to be placed in the guest room.

"Thank you, aunt. Khalid and I will take care of it later."
