The Shackles of Love are Lying
Goodbye

When he woke up in the middle of the night, Najib did not think that Sheza had been next to him. He slept quietly while hugging himself.

He slowly put away Sheza's hand on his stomach. But it turns out that small movements make Sheza sleep piqued and opened her eyes.

"Sister, what time is it?" he rubbed his face with both hands, so that consciousness immediately returned.

"Hour 02.30. We're tahajud yuk!"

"Aseeaaess ... sleepy." she replied spoiled while moving both her hands. He continued to follow Najib.

While Najib headed to the bathroom to wash up he sat on the edge of the bed with his head still stumbling. It is very difficult to get rid of the sleepiness. His eyes were closed again until he did not realize that Najib had finished his business in the bathroom, clean and ablution.

Najib smiled as he looked at Seza. He rubbed his face which was still filled with ablution water then in the splash into Sheza's face, instantly making him realize

"Sister, cold tofu!" sheza Protest.

"Away there! wet your face with ablution water. Brother wait." replied Najib with a small laugh.

Sheza immediately moved from his seat to the restroom to clean himself and also ablution.

While waiting for Sheza to finish his wish, Najib unfurled the prayer rug next to their bed. He performed as much as 2 rakaat light prayers.

Not how long Sheza also came with a face wet with ablution water. He took the face that was in the little closet of the dressing table and put it on. He's headed to where Najib is. Then spread the prayer behind him.

"Come on!"Najib asked him to stand up.

Without many words, Sheza also stood following the faith that had just uttered takbir.

Not long ago both of them dissolved in the prayer hoping for the pleasure of the Power, trying to give all the soul to the owner of the universe and the soul of the body.

Until it was not felt, the dawn began to dawn, breaking the nature that was dissolved in the contest, disturbing the singing of the night to soon pass from its time.

As Najib's last greeting was said in the prayer witir, the sound of the Quran recites from a distance, indicating that dawn is coming soon.

However, Najib did not forget to close his prayer by raising both hands with a thousand requests, in a prayer he said softly.

Aamiiin .. aamiiin, Sheza's voice was accompanying her.

After feeling enough with all the requests and expressions that flowed in prayer, he rubbed his face with both hands.

Najib rested for a moment and took a deep breath, then turned his body, facing his wife.

"You are so beautiful when covered like that" she revealed with smiling lips and sparkling eyes. Not seducing but expressing sincerely what it really is.

"Especially after being exposed to ablution water."

Not to blame, if he perfected his praise on a creature of God named wife.

"Ah, Brother."

Sheza could not deny that her heart was warm at this time, hearing the praise that was thrown from her husband's lips. A thin smile was etched on his face. Maybe her cheeks are blushing right now. He was unable to cover his pride, with the praise given by the person he loved so much.

Sheza didn't waste the opportunity to indulge. He immediately placed his head on Najib's lap. Can, right?

Of course he can't stop Sheza from doing that. After all, he's his wife. Najib laughed, for a moment, he played a mukena in the face

But there was a sense of regret and sin filled his chest, so that he was unable to linger on the face of the woman who was now lying on his lap. He also shifted his eyes.

There's something important that he should tell Sheza about talking to Arya last night. But he was hard to start.

A few times his breath went soft. Unfeeling, the breath swept across his wife's face.

"What's up, Mom?"

"There's nothing. I feel comfortable when you call me Mas. I wish I could hear it my whole life."

"I mean Mas .. isn't Mas my husband .. Of course I can call you that forever."

"If it were."

Sheza was shocked, then rose from Najib's lap.

"I mean, Mas?" ask him confusedly.

Najib lowered his head, then hugged Sheza tightly.

Sheza felt Najib's body tremble violently. He just shut up.

After a while, Najib took off the hug.

"I'm sorry Sheza, all this time has hurt you. If I could choose, I wouldn't lose you. But my mistake was fatal. I'm sure you're hurt by my own inability to weakness, so that's what you're hurting about."

Sheza, who was silent at first, now looked at Najib with sadness.

"Yes I'm hurt. But I was quite aware, not all of it was Mas's fault.I tried to reflect and consciously wanted to fix everything but it seemed too late. It hurts so much when I know you are beating me. The more I see him, the more this pain rises. I want to run, but I can't. Now I know I'm comfortable by your side, calm and happy. And I love you."

"Sheza ..."

Najib could no longer speak. There was a drop of dew coming out from the tip of his eye. He clasped Sheza's hand tightly.

"I'm sorry. This dawn must also go. You have to be accountable for everything you have done. I can't run."

"Yes" he said softly, along with a growing stream of tear drops soaked his cheeks.

Najib held it tight. He also has no power to endure his grief.

"I'll take Iza and Papa, Deck!" while releasing a hug.

"Yes" said Sheza, wiping away tears.

"Mas go now?"

"Yes Deck. The sooner the better."

"Don't wait for Papa?"

"No. Give my regards to Papa, and hug my kisses to Iza."

Sheza nodded.

Once again Najib hugged Sheza tightly, and gave him a few kisses on the top of his head. With a heavy feeling, he took off Sheza.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barokatuh."

He immediately stepped away leaving Sheza, who was pecking with tears.

"Wa alaikum salam warahmatullahi wa barokatuh" he said when Najib's shadow was no longer visible.

Najib came down the stairs with a heavy heart.Once in a while he called the door of Sheza's room. Trying to parse the remaining memories that are currently felt increasingly heavy pressing, but he is powerless.

His steps stopped in front of his daughter's bedroom door. He opened the door, then approached Iza who was fast asleep. Rubbed his cheek and kissed it gently, before saying goodbye.

"Jaga Mama ya, Sholihah." whispered gently in her daughter's ear.

He left as I watched the dawn start to sound from a distance.
