Chapter 15 Speak Alone

After taking a deep breath Rina opened her eyes and hurriedly took off her dress.

Rina had finished changing, she tied her hair in a ponytail and immediately put on her hijab.

Rina goes out of the bathroom to wash her face, she cleans her face while in front of the mirror. A memory flashed when Dirga touched his cheek.

"Ish." Feeling uncomfortable Rina continues to rub her cheeks until they turn red. "I should be able to look after my husband later," she muttered in a tone full of anger.

The call to prayer sounded because he was on his period. He immediately took out his cell phone and tried to contact Hafiz.

He stepped out of the bathroom, saw Eza going to the prayer room. Meanwhile, Intan and Dirga walk together to a place.

'This is all beyond my logic. How can people betray like that,' Rina thought in amazement.

Ring! Ting! Ting.

"Hello, Assalamualaikum," answered Rina, receiving a video call from a very sweet woman. The woman's eyes were very bright.

"Wa'alaikumsalam. This is Rina, right?" she asked. Rina smiled then looked at the seat, she sat down.

"What is this Sis Runia?" asked Rina to make sure. Runia nodded slowly.

'Masha Allah she is beautiful like an angel. Like an Indian artist. How could Mas Hafiz not fall in love? While he looks very friendly and kind,' said Rina in her heart. Runia's eyes are so clear, her eyelashes are very thick.

"Are you busy, Dick?" asked Runia. Rina smiled while shaking her head.

"There's still half an hour, Alhamdulillah, we can finally stay in touch," said Rina looking very happy and comfortable. Rina continued to stare at her sister-in-law.

"Erm. Can you help me?" asked Runia, Rina was surprised by the question from Runia.

"Yes, Sis. What?" asked Rina who saw the worry on Runia's face.

"I'm ready to accept my marriage. However, I also feel a little heartbroken. If  Hafiz is often busy with his work. I want it, we both struggle to maintain the household. And I haven't seen that sincerity from  Hafiz. Do you have anyway? I can't possibly have criteria like his ex-girlfriend. I want him to accept me as his wife. How are I and my attitude, my strengths and weaknesses? I want to learn, from small things. What is Hafiz's favorite food?" asked Runia.

Rina's heartfelt very touched by Runia's struggle. "Come on, brother," said Rina, smiling but also with a hoarse voice holding back emotion.

"Bismillahirrahmanirrokhim," said Runia slowly. It was clear that Rina's heart was shaking violently.

"Be a woman who is strong and always cheerful. Hafiz likes ... There are a lot of people he likes. He likes to eat hahaha," said Rina jokingly. Runia laughed too.

"Hehehe. Thank God," said Runia, Rina was silent and stared in amazement at the image of a woman from her cellphone.

"As far as I know, as long as you don't use too much flavoring. He's also not allergic to anything. He likes snacking. Do you still often watch football or Spongebob cartoons there?"

"Ha?" Runia was surprised by Rina's question. "I watch it often, but alone. I don't think he likes it. Rina, do you think Mas Hafiz hates me so much?" The question immediately took Rina by surprise.

"I don't like it, because this marriage is very sudden. He must also be forced to love me," said Runia, looking resigned.

"Hi, brother. It's still one day. You have to get used to silence. Occasionally seek attention, if he responds positively. It certainly doesn't take long to bring that love. Don't be pessimistic, stay optimistic. Love is a process, especially when marriage is only based on belief. Sometimes you have to act decisively. Your husband is your brother's. So for example when he is bored at home. Take him shopping, ask him to help with your luggage. But... do you already love Mas Hafiz?" Rina asked, Runia smiled.

"I often experience heartbreak. This time I only really believe in Mas Hafiz. Even though the love is still not there. I feel there is something that can't be expressed. But... Do you think you want to go out with me quietly?" asked Runia looking into Rina's eyes.

"One hundred percent sure. Mas Hafiz knows very well. Do you have a stomachache when your period comes?" Rina's question is very strange.

"It hurts sometimes."

"Yes! Mas Hafiz, when I am on my period. Be very careful. Take that opportunity, Sis. But basically, I am spoiled, but he understands. I am sure Mas Hafiz will also do the same thing to Brother. Then how was the first night? " Rina asked deliberately to lure Runia.

"Hehehe. We're still awkward. Rina, thank you, we'll continue later, he's home. Assalamualaikum," said Runia. Rina smiled.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Rina felt relieved when her sister-in-law contacted her. Rina stood up from her seat. His eyes were fixed on the future husband who was making out with the prospective brother-in-law.

'How can I have an imam who can't pray at all? I feel like I want to give up on this life. Astagfirullah ....' Rina rubbed her face.

Eza came out of the mosque, Rina bit her lip looking she was very worried. 'What if Sis Eza finds out about their affair?' Rina asked in her heart and gulped.

Wherever it is, Dirga and Intan don't care at all. "If Sis Eza turns around, what will happen?" he muttered. He was very nervous as he stuck his fingers together.

Eza turned to Dirga and Intan who were feeding each other. Rina covered her face with her cold, sweaty hands.

He stretched his fingers and saw Eza who was approaching Dirga and Intan from between the fingers covering his face.

"You are future brothers-in-law. It's not appropriate to be intimate! Dirga, don't be like you!" Eza's reprimand is still reasonable.

"Besides, Dirga can give me what I ask for. You're still far away," said Intan. Rina covered her mouth.

"What do you mean?! What Dirga." Before Eza finished speaking, Intan immediately kissed Eza's cheek.

"Don't be angry. You don't doubt me. If you doubt me, I don't hesitate to leave you," Intan persuaded in a characteristically gentle tone. Rina turned around and walked slowly.

"Don't be angry. You don't doubt me. Whoops." Rina scratched her head after following Intan's way of speaking by tilting her lips.

"I feel like throwing up, when I hear his voice, hehehe, why am I crazy and keep talking to myself. Astagfirullah ...." Rina grumbled to herself.

'Occasionally entertain Rina, hehehe. Rina's embarrassed when people see it,' he said to himself.

"Humph...."

Hear Intan's appeal. Rina was fed up and didn't want to listen to that conversation anymore. "I'm already tense and now I'm weak, I thought Eza would be angry, eh. It just melts with a kiss like that. It's so ridiculous." Rina looked up at the sky which was suddenly cloudy, she seemed to have lost hope.

"Huft... Father, Mother, may Allah give you health. May Allah allow you to make you happy with my devotion. Amen." Rina lowered her face and rubbed her face.
