Loving Husband Interlude
67. Azam Surprised

Abah Ubay waited in the living room, he accidentally came to Azam's house when the man was at home. On Sunday, exactly.

Azam also met his brother who sat on the sofa in the middle room. She still lives alone, because Mala hasn't come home from the hospital.

"What's up, sorry. I just woke up last night accompanying my wife in the hospital" Azam said after greeting her brother.

"It's okay. What's wrong with your wife?" ask abah.

"Two days ago she gave birth, thank God my son" Azam replied happily.

"Alhamdulillah then, you are happy. That's what you've been hoping for a long time" said Abah.

Azam smiled faintly, whether it was or not. It used to be the reason why Najwa did not get pregnant, but he could not wait to divorce Najwa. Her late mother urged her to divorce her immediately, even though she still loved Najwa.

"Oh yeah, what's up here?" ask Azam who just remembered why his former father-in-law came to see him.

"It was just a friendship, and was going to talk seriously. Abah thinks maybe Azam's son should know and understand why you should come here to see Azam's son" said Abah.

Azam did not not understand, he knew for sure it was the problem of Arsyil. Of course about the fire.

"Have you come to see me about the fire?" ask Azam.

"No. But maybe yes, I just want to say the same to Azam. Be happy to live with the wife of Azam's own son, love the wife of Azam's son. Because truly loving and loving your wife will bring peace and tranquility.

Abah was initially very angry when nak Azam immediately divorced Najwa unilaterally, but gradually accepted him. Maybe it was Najwa's destiny, but now I feel calm and happy because Najwa's son is happy with the man chosen by Azam.

They love each other, so do you hope that Azam and Azam's wife also love each other. Loving each other is better than chasing something that has been decided not to get back together. Nak Azam understood what I meant?" ask abah.

Azam was silent, he lowered his head. It was a shame if he had to be subtly reprimanded by Najwa's brother. A very wise man as well. He was sure that he came at his own will, not told by anyone.

Because Abah never meddled in any business first, even though his son was hurt by him. Azam was ashamed of himself.

"Yes bah, I understand. Sorry if I made you feel upset first for divorcing the Najwa deck unilaterally and in a hurry. It was my fault, and I will accept it sincerely.

It may be fate, and the Najwa deck is happy not with me. But with the men I've introduced and asked for help. He's a good guy, really. Arsyil is a very good man" said Azam so moved himself to remember the kindness of his best friend.

"Thank God that Azam's son realized everything. Hopefully Azam son is also happy with the wife of Azam son now, what else now has a son hotshot. Hopefully it can bring happiness to both parents" said Abah sincerely pray for the Azam family.

"Yes bah, amiin. Thank you, you want to remind me. I am indeed a khilaf of my obsession to get Najwa's deck back. Again, thank you. And I also apologize to my brother and mummy for my past mistakes" Azam said.

Abah smiled, she was relieved that Azam finally realized everything. He also did not need to bring up the issue of beating Arsyil on that road, all was realized and Azam would change.

"Then you go home first. Abah is waiting at home" said Abah.

"Well, thank you for coming to my house. I should have come to my house, but instead my brother came to the house" said Azam again.

"It's okay, you understand that you're busy" said Abah.

Azam just smiled, saying goodbye. Azam took abah to the front, abah in between by a santri who waited in front until his affairs were completed.

"Assalamu aleikum."

"Wa aleikum salam."

Five days in the hospital, Mala is now at home again. She is very happy now to be a full mother, giving birth and also having children.

"Why did I not have children with Najwa? Is Najwa not destined for me? Even he is happy with Arsyil and will have children." murmured Azam.

She kept watching her sleeping child, feeling stiff she wanted to carry him. From far away Mala saw her husband still did not go to work. He also approached to bathe his son with bi Darsih.

"You didn't go to work, did you?" ask Mala.

"Yes in a moment." replied Azam.

"Oh yes, after forty days I want to stay at my brother's house" Mala said.

"Why do you have to live there?" asked Azam in shock.

"Ngga anything. I want to live there with my brother." Mala said again.

Azam was stunned, why did everything become like that? He has not finished the arson business, still briefing the police. The plan is he will compensate for the losses suffered by Arsyil.

He had imagined there would be anger from Najwa or his former in-laws. That alone made her dizzy, what else now Mala wanted to leave her.

Mala glanced at her husband, he was busy changing his diaper. Azam noticed what his wife was doing, very dexterous even though she had just done it.

"Do you want to leave me?" ask Azam.

Mala stopped her activities for a moment. Then she turned around and faced her husband.

"I think I have no meaning in this house mas, maybe you are still expecting mbak Najwa. Go ahead, I don't want to be your barrier to waiting for Najwa to come back with you. So, why am I here" said Mala.

Azam was silent again, he closed his eyes. This is the result of his selfishness, everything is gone.

"Mala, I'm sorry. I'm not going after Najwa anymore, he's happy with Arsyil. They will have children soon too. I promise I won't ignore you anymore" Azam said.

Mala was silent, she lowered her head. Azam approached, he held onto Mala's arms and looked at her.

"Don't go. I'll finish my business with the police. After the police I'm going home again, I want to hold my son. But I can't, then teach me to carry Ameer" Azam said.

Mala looked at Azam, she looked doubtful but was happy to hear her husband's words.

"What's wrong with the police?" ask Mala.

"Najwa's husband's printing is on fire, it was done by my secretary. That's why I want to finish it, and I'm going to meet Arsyil to compensate for everything that's been burned" Azam said.

Mala went back to silence, there was also a sense of worry if she went to Najwa's house. There will be a sense of it again, and coming home from Najwa's house will change again to be cold to him.

"Najwa is also soon to have children, you don't worry about my feelings. I will try to get rid of it, and promise you to be a good husband and a good father to my son" Azam said.

Mala smiled in line, then nodded. Azam knew Mala was still doubtful to him, but he was clearly going to change. Maybe it was the impact of his son who since the prosecution in the hospital at that time, his heart trembled. Happiness suddenly appeared instantly. It was just that he was still confused at that moment.

"I'm going, I'm going home this afternoon. Prepare lunch for me like I used to." Azam said.

Mala nodded, she reached out to her husband's hand. Praying that what Azam said was true became his happiness that he had been waiting for.
