There's A Child Among Us

There's A Child Among Us

“I don't want to, later Azam long wait, kasian!” Gani rejects Usfi's invitation, making the girl frown.

“It seems that later among us there must be a reason for the sake of children, yes no, Bang?”

“Yes, because there are already children. Didn't you think it was marriage? If I think so much .. when I know you are alone, honestly I also want you to be my wife, but I am not rash, there is Azam beside me, I don't know if you will be able to accept him. Uh, you just go straight to ma—“

“Oh, so the story you regret, Bang?”

Gani tried to position himself as a good husband, he was a little surprised by himself because he was always immature when dealing with Usfi. He tends to be boyish long ago and likes to tag the girl, the point is, he can be himself when with Usfi.

Gani closed the car door, then, grabbed his wife by the shoulder, walking to the terrace of the mosque and, sitting there.

“Not so ..” said Gani after he and Usfi sat facing each other.

“Listen ... I do not regret proposing to you and now we have become husband and wife, but, we have not spoken from heart to heart. I just think about our future from now on. You know, right? I already have Azam because the child is my responsibility, according to the law as his father ..” Gani paused for a moment to take a breath, while Usfi still silently listened. They have not spoken well since their separation four years ago.

“Yaa... I am sure, you are not a woman who can hurt children just because it is not your flesh and blood, the proof is that you managed to guide many children in your school until it succeeded, it was amazing and I admire you!” Gani said while poking a small Usfi nose.

“What did you love to Mas Anwar? Business card? Let me see!”

“No more, that one is still in the wallet! Why do you want to see?”

“Ya want to know aja work Abang now what?”

“My work is now your husband, it's the toughest job for men!”

“Eh, where is the job so husband, Bang?”

“Then, what? Just status, does a status need consequences and responsibility? Does responsibility not demand effort? Then, the husband's efforts what is his name if not work?  Well, so the husband is actually the toughest job for men, Fi! The responsibilities of the afterlife .. know what his job is?”

“What?”

“According to the letter At Tahrim verse 6, the work of the husband is guarding himself and his family from the fire of hell, whose fuel is man and stone, just imagine we become fuel there, so, to God the man in hell is as low as a rock!”

Usfi was silent again, that is what she liked about Gani so far, behind her silly attitude and what it is, her husband always showed the other side that amazed her. He looks ordinary, not religious or pious, but there are many practices of the prophet's circumcision that he applies in his daily life, without saying much.

Gani grabs Usfi's hand and leads him into the car, after which he sits behind the wheel.

“Some time we go to the hotel, you can stay there without having to pay, as much as you want how many nights, as long as not long!” gani said, while turning the steering wheel of the Usfi car out of the courtyard, after infusing the charity box parking the mosque in a number that is not small.

“Hotel that I used to see Azam, right?”

“Ya!”

He said honestly from the beginning he left his hometown and his heartache on Usfi, but, instead, had a debt after marrying Asma. Then, he also experienced separation from his old wife, because he was forced, even though he wanted to live in harmony like his Father's Mother who was separated just because of age.

After ending it all, he decided to help Algizali farm oil palm while keeping heart. Then, by the will of God he met his best friend, Andi, who then asked him to be an assistant to manage his hotel and restaurant until now.

“Sorry yes, Bang. I don't know, because Abang menggeledek continue so do not look like if I like it!”

“Yes! I'm also sorry if I used to, actually that's just my reason for talking to you, but you're not sensitive!”

“Bang! Usually if men like women it shows their feelings with loving attention, giving praise, where is there like this brother, it makes heartache?”

“Loh, right I just keep my heart, rather than close pokies giving attention to women who have not been halal continue to commit adultery, on the grounds of mutual affection!”

“Iya, yes, the way Brother is indeed strange!”

“That's you know!”

“So ... We want to stay together or not later, Bang?”

“As for you, I have my own apartment, if you want to stay with me then come on! I'm happy, but if you're still not sincere about the school you've built with great difficulty, yes ... I understand, it doesn't matter if you still want to stay with Kang Edi! I can go there sometime!”

Usfi silent, he took a deep breath, in the end between them there must be someone who wants to give up, because basically that is like a husband and wife bond, which will only run smoothly if there is understanding in it. Marriage is not about who loves the most but, how deeply two couples value each other.

If he had forced Gani to stay with him while he was still hitchhiking at Edi's house, it would have been impossible. Therefore he must immediately clear up the matter, training Aisi or Ahmad to become the principal, replacing him. While she remained the owner of the foundation according to the notary deed that could not be changed, then, established the heart to be fully devoted to her husband.

Arriving at Sholeh's house, it was late afternoon and, the atmosphere of the house was again crowded by some mothers who seemed to chat with Ima and Dedah in the living room. When they saw Usfi who had come alone, they were astonished.

“Loh, how are you, Fi? Where's Gani?” asked Ima after Usfi approached and greeted all the guests one by one, he was surprised, many colorful gifts neatly arranged on the table near the television.

“Bang Gani go home, Ambuk ..., bring Usfi car. Want to pick up Azam first new here.” Usfi said as he sat on one of the empty seats among the guests.

The guests said a congratulatory prayer and asked for blessings for her, as a newlywed. Usfi accepted all of those prayers with gratitude.

“Oh, dikirain do not want to come here, because later tonight want Kenduri thanksgiving there is a marriage contract again in this house, Asih Tea also comes, tuh, listen you marry!”

“Oh yes?” Usfi immediately went to find one of the sisters-in-law who was to him the most Sholehah and the closest to him, among his father's sons-in-law. The four Usfi sisters are all boys, she is the only daughter of the couple Sholeh and Ima.

Arriving in the kitchen, she found the veiled woman cooking for her family.

“Teh Asih!” said Usfi greeting while hugging his sister-in-law from behind.
