VEILED WOMEN (BEST WIFE AND MOTHER)
20

Next day

Annisa went shopping with her mother to the market.

He picked some fresh vegetables, there were some sorts he had already paid for.

Mr. Anto saw them from a distance, and he immediately walked up to them.

Annisa sees his arrival and immediately looks down as usual to keep her eyes on the non-mahram.

Ms. Aisyah also looked towards Mr. Anto.

"I really feel underestimated by our marriage cancellation, this is the first time I've been ridiculed. You played me Annissa," said Mr. Anto as he stared intently at Annisa.

"I'm sorry sir" Annisa said

"Sir, we have paid for the land so we beg you not to bother us anymore" said Ms. Aisyah.

Mr. Anto ignored Ms. Aisyah's words, his gaze did not shift one bit from Annisa.

"What beauty do you dare to reject me," said Mr. Anto to Annisa who only bowed since.

"You covered your face with a veil for sure because of your ugliness, you should be grateful I want to be with you. I wonder what kind of face you are behind this cloth," added Mr. Anto while pulling the Annisa veil apart.

Annisa and her mother are shocked by the sudden pull of Mr. Anto, she has no preparation to maintain her veil, Anto's hands are quite fast.

He hurriedly lowered his head in fear and immediately pulled the veil in the hands of Anto sir who was currently stunned when he saw his face which even though only briefly seen.

Annisa put on her veil back with trembling hands.

"Annisa let's go home," asked Bu Aisyah upset and knew if her son felt uncomfortable after the veil was removed, fortunately they were not in a crowded crowd so only Mr. Anto and the vegetable seller's mother who might have seen Annisa's face.

The vegetable seller's mother just kept silent not to interfere.

Annisa nodded at her mother's invitation, she also wanted to hurry home, uncomfortable being here.

Mr. Anto was still staring at Annisa as Annisa and his mother walked further and further away. He was not aware of his surprise.

When Annisa and Bu Aisyah took a taxi, Ms. Aisyah grumbled in her car. He was rarely angry but at this moment the person was completely overdue.

"Nisa doesn't have to come, afraid to see the man again. Good thing you didn't get married" his mother grumbled.

"It's Mom, Nisa's fault for accepting it as well but instead cancels it, rightly what she says if Nisa's making fun of her" Annisa said weakly

"We don't buy fish because of this, what side dish do we want to cook?" ask Miss Aisyah

"And there are still many eggs ma'am, Santri also does not matter such side dishes, we at home also cook it, which is important the vegetables have been purchased" said Annisa

"Yes," said Ms. Aisyah who was still upset.

Annisa and Bu Aisyah have arrived in front of the pesantren. Both got off the taxi carrying their groceries are not much, usually there are other people on duty shopping but today they are out for shopping, it turns out to meet Mr. Anto

They walk in

Annisa was also confused because she had sent the same message to Mr. Karto if Syifa came to tell him to wait a while.

His mother took their groceries to the boarding school kitchen, while Annusa walked alone through the room of the Santri, she saw one of Santri did not enter the study room.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, '" said Annisa while standing in front of the door that had been opened from earlier.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered the Santri named Fatimah.

Fatimah turned towards Annisa slowly.

"What's up, sister Nisa?" ask Fatimah weakly

"Why you?" annisa asked as she approached Fatimah's bed and held her hand.

"A little fever Kak, but was given the same medicine Ustadzah Humaira," said Fatimah whose eyes were barely open.

Annisa held Fatimah's forehead and the heat stung but her hands were a little cold.

"It's so hot, let's go to the hospital" Annisa said as she tried to help Fatimah stand up

"Dizziness Kak was taken to walk," said Fatimah who was not powered.

"Yes, Sister Nisa call another Santri, wait!" annisa said as she walked out after helping her sit on the bed.

Annisa hurriedly walked towards the nearest classroom.

"Assalamu 'alaikum" Annisa said while in front of the door of Humaira's ustadzah study room.

"Wa'alaikumusalam," answered everyone while turning his head.

Ustadzah Humaira looked over as well.

"What's wrong?" ask ustadzah Humaira

"Can you help us lift Fatimah to the car? Fatimah's body is getting hotter" Annisa said

"Ah yes already come," said Humaira who was worried because had taken the medicine should have gone down the heat but this Annisa said even hotter.

"When you've been taking medicine, why is it getting hot?" humaira said astonished as she walked with Annisa in a hurry. Some santri also come

They lift Fatimah to the car, Mr. Karto will drive them to the hospital. Humaira was also with Annisa in the car.

They drove to the hospital, when they got there, there happened to be a nurse in front so the nurse immediately brought Fatimah in.

Fatimah is being examined, Annisa and Humaira are waiting.

The doctor came out and told her that Fatimah was fine but needed to rest for 2 or 3 days at home.

Annisa and Humaira breathed a sigh of relief at the doctor's words.
