The Stain Behind Khimar
CHAPTRE 49

Reno who just came out of the bathroom was amazed to see Asma was teaching. Her beautiful voice can make her husband freeze. For a moment, the man just stared at Asthma with unblinking eyes. Asthma beauty typical of European women with blue eyes makes the man blink in disbelief.

I still can't believe they're husband and wife now. The woman he loved so much is in front of him now. He was alone and only his own.

"Mass?"

Reno smiled as she saw Asma finished her tadarus. The man then approached and helped Asma put the Quran into place. He sat down in front of Asthma.

"Ali the same Umi," said Asma slowly.

Reno chuckled softly then said, "Umi is understanding."

Asthma blinked nervously with both cheeks blushing. The woman who was still wearing the face then said, "Mas .. abi actually said what until it could tear down the ego padre?"

"Do not know," said Reno by looking at the wife with a longing gaze while Asma roared. He was so curious but eventually chose to divert the conversation. He asked a question that also made him curious.

"Mas ... why?"

Reno blinked confusedly looking at Asma, he then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why would I have a dirty past like that?" ask Asthma with teary eyes.

Reno clucked in annoyance while shaking her head. Then he said, "Have you forgotten? I've also committed adultery."

"But Mas, Aku—" Asthma's speech was cut off when Reno landed his index finger on the reddish lips of Asthma.

"Udah dong dear ..." persuaded Reno while bringing Asthma in a deck.

Asthma releases a hug and stares at Reno still with teary eyes. "Sorry, I don't keep my honor for you." One clear grain that soaked the netra expressed Asthma's overwhelming regret.

When his crying again spread, Reno just kept quiet by continuing to tighten her embrace. While Asthma seems to keep moving as if uncomfortable.

"No papa, yes .." said Reno while peeping the top of Asthma's head. Then continue his words. "Do you want a story?"

Asthma nodded her head then looked at Reno with eyes still wet with tears.

"Turn 180 degrees to sit."

Asthma according to confused. She turned her body until now, turning her back to her husband.

"Retreat again" Reno said softly.

Asthma rewinds her body until her back touches Reno's legs sitting cross-legged.

"Retreat again."

Asthma knitted her brows. Take a moment at Reno behind him. The man clucked in annoyance then pulled Asthma into his lap.

"It's really hard to ask to sit on my lap," grumbled Reno quietly. The asthma that had just been discharged jolted became silent.

Reno inhaled in the scent of Asthma's body which so indulged her senses. He took off his wife's face and closed his eyes with a happy smile. As the black bead opens, Reno begins the story, " A man named Martsad al-Ghanawi was secretly sent by the Prophet Muhammad to Mecca to save some Muslims who were held captive there."

Asma began to listen while Reno pressed his arms possessively to his wife's waist and continued, "When in Mecca, Martsad met his former girlfriend in the days of Jahiliah named ‘Anaq who worked as a prostitute

“Then, marry me,” pinta ‘Anaq.

“No, before I ask this to the Prophet,” insisted Marstad.

Upon returning to Medina, Martsad asked the Prophet.

“Can I marry ‘Anaq, yes Rasulullah?”

The Prophet kept silent for a while and read the revelation he had just received, “Ezina men do not marry but adulterers or idolatrous women, he said, and adulterers are not married but by adulterers or idolaters. And forbid that upon the believers.” (Q.L. An-Nur 24:3).

Then he said to Marstad, “Do not marry her!” (H.R. Abu Daud, Tirmidhi, and Nasa’i).

Asthma gasps with teary eyes. Then he said, "What does it mean that we are breaking God's prohibition?"

"Are you still adulterous?" asked Reno with an illegible look.

"No! for anything. I did it last time with you!" Hearing her own words Asma so grimaced. When other people out there say that the husband first touched them. Asthma felt humiliated because the husband last touched her.

"Yes the law is different again if you are an adulterer."

Reno's voice ripped the Asthma Daydream. Reno dropped his head on Asma's shoulders then resumed, "Remembering from this verse, it is concluded that it is unlawful for a good man to marry an adulteress, which is illegal, likewise it is unlawful for a good woman to marry an adulteress."

"I'm looking for you Asthma. But Allah hides you with only one thin cloth with the name of niqab or veil. At that moment I realized. God is trying to strengthen each of us until we are found in a marriage bond."

Asma was filled to hear him then asked, "Am I wrong to hide the sin behind my khimarku?"

"It's just a stain" Reno said quickly recalling Huwaida Ayduha's remarks. Then he said, "You have many ways to hide the sins of the past. Not just closing it through khimar. For example, like moving abroad or moving to a city that one person does not know who 'Aqila'."

Reno gave a quick peek of Asthma's cheek and said, "But you chose khimar. Not because to cover up stains or sins. But your own little heart wants this."

Asthma was amazed to hear it until Reno's voice again sounded soft at Asthma's hearing. "Wearing the veil is sunah. When many women out there flaunt themselves wearing a veil through social media, An Asma Aqilatunnisa even always tries to hide himself. And I'm proud you're my wife."

Asthma can not withstand clear circles because of the extraordinary taste of haru. He still could not believe that there was a man like Reno who had quite an open mind.

"There's one more story" Reno said, closing her eyes and saying, "But I want you right now."

Reno kisses the nape of Asthma which makes the woman understand what the husband means.
