VEILED WOMEN (BEST WIFE AND MOTHER)
32

Reyhan walked towards Annisa and Syifa who were not too far away from Riana.

"Sorry Abi was late to pick you up, must have waited a long time?" reyhan asked while holding his second hand, and at that moment his eyes were immediately fixed on Riana so he was a little surprised because at this time Annisa and Riana were quite close.

His shocked gaze was nowhere to be seen by Annisa as she quickly turned her eyes back.

"No, it's just finished shopping" said Annisa glad to see her husband coming.

Riana looked sad to see them, something like this had never happened in their family.

"Who are his children and wife?" riana asked as Reyhan looked back at her.

"Yes, this is your son too?" reyhan asked smiling but his smile was towards Rafa not at Riana. If Riana had not asked then she would not have asked either.

Riana nodded, Annisa looked towards those who turned out to know each other, but she just kept quiet

"Yes, we're leaving first" Riana left and got into the car after seeing Reyhan nod.

Reyhan brought Annisa's groceries into the car and opened the car door.

Annisa turned to her husband who looked back at Riana's car even if only a glance.

In Riana's car

"Ma why?" asked Rafa when he saw his mother look sad looking at the 3 people from the car.

"It's okay," said Riana smiling faintly. He was still looking towards them until their car drove away.

In the car

"Other times Abi can not talk to other women other than our families," said Syifa did not like that Abinya spoke with others very familiar.

Reyhan smiled and immediately looked towards Annisa who had since turned her head out in silence.

"Syifa is very smart to say it. Yes Abi will not talk to other women except Ummi, Ummi is his love Abi," Reyhan said with a smile.

"Promise" said Syifa

"Yes God willing, dear. Long time more like Syifa whose wife Abi yes, Ummi just silence from earlier, look towards Abi also not," said Reyhan wanted to joke let Annisa look at them but in fact Annisa still staring outwards in silence.

Reyhan looked briefly at Annisa, then refocused on driving because there was no response from his wife.

They arrived in front of the house.

Reyhan came down and opened Annisa's door, Annisa stared at him as she reached out her hand then held her hand as she was about to get down, after getting out of the car, she quickly took it off.

Reyhan also picked up Syifa from inside the car in the back seat.

"You go in first, let Abi bring his groceries" said Reyhan

Annisa and Syifa walked in and unlocked the door.

Reyhan looked at Annisa who had refused to see him, even if he saw at least a moment.

He went in after the two and stored their things on the kitchen table.

Annisa was in the room changing her clothes, Reyhan walked into the room approaching her while hugging her from behind gently.

"I'm sorry Abi was wrong," said Reyhan who had previously felt bad.

"Abi is not wrong, it's just a greeting," said Annisa slowly who seemed to immediately melt when hugged graciously.

"Sit down first" Reyhan said, asking her to sit on the bed.

The two sat together on their beds.

Reyhan looked into Annisa's eyes at the moment Annisa was no longer veiled so her facial expression was clearly visible.

It was obvious from his wife's face that he must have been a little jealous about it. He was so happy he finally knew his wife had feelings.

"Let's tell a story" he said

"What story?" ask Annisa

"It used to be after coming out of the boarding school that Abi association is very bad, so that things that are prohibited in our religion Abi do, such as courtship for example, like courtship, and Abi's girlfriend was the one Abi greeted in front of the supermarket called Riana," Reyhan told me with a single breath

Annisa smiled hearing that, somehow hearing this explanation made her happy.

"What matters now is that Abi is not like that anymore, thanks for being honest" Annisa said

Reyhan nodded and curled his lips, "A moment of pouting was still beautiful let alone smiling," he said which immediately made Annisa embarrassed.

"Let's cook, Abi bantuin, "Take Reyhan as he stands.

Reyhan held Annisa's hand to stand up, Annisa stood up and they went straight out of the room to the kitchen.

In the kitchen

"Bi wear this first so it is not dirty," said Annisa when showing an apron.

Annisa put it on Reyhan, Reyhan smiled as Annisa touched it.

I love Annisa more and more, although married because of being betrothed but my love is getting bigger and bigger Reyhan's inner day

"Bi.." call Annisa disperse Reyhan's reverie.

Reyhan.

"It's over" Annisa said

"Ah yes, let's start cooking" Reyhan said as he picked up a knife.

They take their groceries out of plastic bags.

Reyhan began peeling the onions, and slicing them slowly.

Annisa looked at him who started shedding tears.

Annisa smiled as she approached him.

"Let Ummi Bi, Abi's eyes are as sore as they are" Annisa said

"Yes Abi can't stand it anymore, Abi wash her face first" Reyhan said as she ran to the kitchen bathroom.

Annisa is still smiling.
