Loving Husband Interlude
38. Arsyil's Sadness

Najwa cried in her room, she laid her body on her bed. Umi Dila went into the room of her son who was crying in his bed. He approached Najwa and sat down on the side of the bed.

"Najwa." call umi Dila.

Najwa woke up, hugged her umi and cried in her mother's arms. Umi Dila rubbed her son's back gently, knowing she now loved Arsyil.

"Prophe Najwa, you can decide for yourself. Son Arsyil can't break his promise to nak Azam. He has to keep it, you have to respect his decision" said Umi Dila.

"But my brother is grieving, why is he more concerned with his friend than himself? Couldn't the promise be deferred first, or it could be changed again because brother is grieving" Najwa said in tears.

"Najwa, sometimes the man put his feelings aside on the appeal of a friendship. Whether you meet again because of Azam, of course Arsyil will feel guilty if he betrayed his own best friend. Umi admitted that Arsyil is a very good man, even too good. Umi sees that she loves you very much, but she gives you up for her best friend who loves you too" said Umi Dila advising Najwa.

"I also love bang Arsyil, umi. I want to live with her forever" said Najwa again.

"Then you decide who is between the two friends. Who you love now, you will define."

"I told you my brother, umi. If I also love, but brother still take me to my brother's house and divorce me. Hik hik hik." said Najwa.

Umi Dila hugged her son, now it is answered what the meaning of Najwa's dream four months ago. It turned out that this was the answer, he patted Najwa on the back slowly. Calm and give strength to his son so as not to dissolve in sadness.

"Prophey Najwa, maybe one more week Azam will come here. And you can talk to Azam about your feelings for Arsyil. But you must keep asking for guidance from the One Above, because God determines everything. Who turned the heart of every manuisa" said umi Dila.

Najwa took off her embrace, she wiped away the tears that were still melting on her cheeks. He looked at her and smiled thinly.

"I've decided to choose who Umi is. I'll talk to Azam, let Azam know my choice and not force me to marry him" Najwa said.

"Yes, talk to Azam. But after you say that, you should be prepared there will be another attitude from Azam to you or to Arsyil later" said Umi Dila.

"Yes umi, I know. At least I'll be strong if there's a brother beside me facing everything. I hope I can handle it." said Najwa.

"Amiin, Ii wish you and Arsyil all the best. And Azam wants to give you up for his best friend because you chose him" said Umi Dila.

Najwa nodded, umi Dila smiled. He got up from his seat and left. At the door he stood facing the door of Najwa's room, he looked at his wife and smiled.

"So you remember Najwa's dream?" ask abah.

"Yes bah, maybe that was the meaning of Najwa's dream at that time" said Umi Dila.

"Alah had actually guessed that time, but I thought letting all the plans go was more difficult. The dream will only be read after it happens like this. Abah does not want to be called a psychic" said Abah.

"Umi knew bah, since Najwa's marriage to Arsyil. Umi sees Arsyil's son who first likes her, and somehow Najwa can fall in love with her husband."

"This noodle, that love doesn't have to come at first sight. Although there was something like that, but Najwa was still in love with Azam. So can't turn around so fast. Never mind, let their destiny proceed according to God's terms. We pray for their kindness, especially Najwa and Arshil and Azam."

"May Azam accept yes bah, otherwise. Then there will be two people who are hurt because of the compulsion and selfishness of one of them" said Umi Dila.

They are now in the living room, watching television with their favorite shows. That is a quiz show who dares to go forward in one of the tv channels.

After returning from Najwa's house, Arsyil only stayed in the living room. He looked around the room that was not big, only four times six meters in size.

Suddenly her tears flowed, she sobbed sadly at her current state. His eyes closed and then his tears fell. Totally down at the moment, I don't know what he would do without Najwa by his side.

In his solitude like that, the shadow of his and Najwa's intimacy flashed vividly in his mind. When riding the motorbike, when in the kitchen, when there is at the dining table and also in their room first when sleeping together.

Even the love fondness was recorded clearly in the mind of Arsyil. Of course it makes him cry again sad, all now only memories.

Long she cried sadly lamenting her empty heart and also her love that could not unite with Najwa, suddenly her phone rang. He ignored her for a moment, but then many times his phone kept ringing.

Finally Arsyil took the phone in his bag, he saw Azam's name on the flat screen. Shut up for a moment, he took a deep breath and answered Azam's phone.

"Assalamu alaikum Zam."

"Wa alaikum salam, Shil. I'm so sorry about your father's passing, sorry I just found out when I came to your printing shop yesterday, your employees told me." Azam said.

"Thank you Zam." replied Arsyil.

"Are you still in contract? I mean, you're either in your contract or in your father's house?" ask Azam.

"I'm at home, I'm going to my dad's house this afternoon. For a while I will stay at my father's house, Zam." said Arsyil.

"You're gonna live there? With Najwa?" tanya Azam hesitated.

"No Zam, I returned Najwa's deck to your house this afternoon. I've divorced him, so you can marry Najwa's deck after his iddo period is over" Arsyil said firmly.

He did not want to talk to Azam on the phone about Najwa, he knew Azam called him to ask himself and Najwa. More precisely his ex-wife.

"Syil, the time is not yet over. There's still tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry to get Najwa to your house" Azam said.

"For me it's the same, Zam. Tomorrow or now, it makes no difference. I had to divorce Najwa and return him to Abah. And you can marry her, as you wish." said Arsyil.

Azam was silent across there, he was happy but did not have to do that. He admitted that Arsyil was a very good friend, always keeping his word. It would not be wrong if she asked Arsyil to help her, though she used to seem doubtful there would be feelings at play in Arsyil and Najwa's domestic relationship.

"Emm, Syil I want to meet you. Should I see you at your rent or at your father's?" ask Azam.

"I'm going home this afternoon, if I want to be at my father's house tomorrow. While the rented house is empty." said Arsyil.

"Okay Syil, tomorrow I come to your father's house. I'm sorry I just called you, and once again I'm so sorry for you. May Marwan be quiet by his side." Azam said.

"Amiin, thank you Zam."

"Assalamu aleikum."

"Wa aleikum salam."
