The Whore That Gus Azam's Wife
Abi Daud's Substitute

Azam looked at Stella, his wife still calmed Maryam who was crying.

“For the sake of Allah abi, umi, Maryam is not what Husain” mas said Maryam told her parents.

It seems that her ex-husband's words were so disturbing.

“Quiet, son. Abi and Umi believe in you. No need to cry again” Sahut umi Fatimah.

The middle-aged woman was actually even more injured than the princess. Abi Daud was still silent with his empty gaze.

“Abi” Tegur Azam on his father.

Abi Daud lifted his head, looking at the son with sadness.

“No need to blame yourself. This is destiny and also a test we have to pass. Sister Maryam is a strong woman of heart and faith. After this, he will definitely be fine” said Azam while embracing the shoulders of Abi Daud, channeling calm through the embrace he had.

Stella, who knew nothing, was silent.

Representing Abi Daud, Azam also spoke to Erlangga, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Erlangga. I will replace it later” said Azam.

Actually, there is also a sense of hesitation to his business partner. Because, Erlangga was there to find a teacher njai for his mother but, what happened was like this. Starting from the case of Stella some time ago, now also see how the destruction of the Maryam household.

“You always call me by that name, can you call me by another name if we're not working?” Erlangga protest

“Call me ‘mas’, as you said for the man earlier. That'll sound more familiar. And also about what I have given earlier, I have absolutely no interest in getting a replacement from you” Sahut Erlangga again.

Azam smiled a little and then fell silent again, “But, sister Maryam is the responsibility of abi and I so, you should not bear this” he said.

Erlangga slightly clucked, “You know that I don't like rejection, Azam. The point is I'm doing it for your brother. Besides the man was so annoying” replied Erlangga.

Erlangga even clenched his hands while remembering Husain's face and his insolent words.

“But, you pay it up to three times. That is not a meager amount” Azam said.

“It's okay. I also apologize if I was impressed to interfere, even though I am nobody among you” Sahut Erlangga.

“Abi asked you to stay, right?” Azam asked, guessing what happened before they came.

Erlangga nodded with a smile, “You know your family well” he replied.

Azam was convinced that Abi Daud would not have let others into domestic problems if not for some reason.

Azam did not know what the reason for the abi was so, the man just looked at his ashes with curiosity.

“What's up, abi?” Ask Azam.

Abi Daud looked at Erlangga and Maryam alternately. I don't know what the middle-aged man was thinking.

“Maryam, have you calmed down?” Ask abi David.

Maryam who at that time had stopped crying, immediately looked at her ashes, “Already, abi” he replied.

Maryam was silent for a moment, she looked at umi Fatimah while squeezing the middle-aged woman's hand slowly. Meanwhile, umi Fatimah just nodded, “Whatever your decision, abi and umi will definitely accept it, nak” he replied.

Maryam was seen sighing a little, “Bismillahirahmanirrahim, for the blessing and ridho of the parents, Maryam received your proposal Mr. Erlangga” replied.

It made Azam and Stella surprised.

“Abi Daud, can I use what I bought earlier to be a dowry for Maryam?” Tanya Erlangga, “Previously it was the property of Maryam and I will return it to her, next I will give the dowry as Maryam” wants.

“Maryam, what do you want as a dowry?” Abi David asked his eldest daughter.

Maryam still did not lift her face, she was silent for a moment, “Maryam did not demand anything, abi. Insyallah Maryam conduct marriage is sincere for a lifetime worship to Allah SWT” replied Maryam.

At that time Azam was silent for a little while, he wanted to say something but, afraid that it would offend his business partner.

“Say, Azam. Replace abi now” Say abi Daud to her son.

Azam nodded, he looked at Stella who was still also hugging Maryam affectionately.

“I'm sorry before, mas?” It felt so strange when he had to call his co-worker that with the call ‘mas’, it was so foreign to be spoken by Azam.

“There are some dowries that are prohibited in Islam, one of which is an illegal dowry where the dowry should not come from bad results, such as stealing, cheating and the like.

One of them if it is the sale of goods that are not halal. Considering you own some bar business, I hope my brother doesn't get the money out of it. Really, it's not good.

Next is excessive dowry. The Prophet did not like excessive things, Erlangga. As stated in Ahmad's history hadith ‘That the biggest wedding is the least expensive’. If you're sincere and don't mind, give my brother what you can afford”

Azam explained it in detail and politely, of course without intending to hurt or offend his co-workers.

“I definitely give dowry from halal results. In fact, I must have left the entire bar business today as well” Erlangga said steadily.

“Alhamdulillah” Sahut Azam. Somehow his heart felt relieved by what Erlangga said, as if it was not mere nonsense.

“I will take good care of Maryam, trust me” Erlangga said, reassuring the people who were there with his words.

Being a widower of one child makes Erlangga is not so interested in having a relationship with any woman, according to him there may be no other woman who can replace his late wife.

Azam chuckles softly, “I believe you” he said.

“A good husband is a husband who has good character, is quite financially able, not rude or meek, a man who is fertile and also healthy. I consider Sister Maryam as my own sister, I hope you are not like what the man had done to her” Sahut Stella.

Stella didn't want Maryam to get hurt. Now he knows why Maryam became someone who was firm in overcoming problems and often gave advice on domestic problems to him. It turns out, once the household Maryam far from the word harmonious.

The shadow of Stella now, how can Mary live with a man whose tongue is that sharp? He even felt very hurt by the insults earlier.

“I became a widower just because my wife had died so, I don't think you need to think about something you're worried about” Erlangga replied.

Azam smiled at Stella, his wife had completely changed. He is proud of Stella, willing to accept it and his family alone has become an amazingly beautiful value for Azam. Rarely are women today, especially with the freedom of association before can accept their partner's family sincerely.
