You're just for me
Ustadz Taqa's

Upon his arrival at home, Balqis headed straight for his room on the top floor, followed by Ustadz Taqa. Balqis sat on the edge of the bed and looked dreamy. Ustadz Taqa understood that his wife must be thinking about her father. He approached and sat down beside Balqis.

"Are you thinking about dad?"

"Hmmm.."

That was the answer Balqis gave. Ustadz Taqa did not want to see the look of sadness on his wife's beautiful face. He twisted his brain how to get his wife back to cheer, this is not a Balqis. Because her name is Balqis Khansa Alya is a cheerful, chatty and also ignorant woman.

Ustadz Taqa recalled that his school-age friends would often round up their female friends in class if there were no teachers until they laughed. Then he would do the same, knowing Balqis could smile again.

"Ekhem.. Balqis, do you know the difference between Aa and Yakult?"

"If yakult asem, if Aa is sweet, that's for sure, right? Aa's fighting has been guessed."

Ustadz Taqa chuckled, but it was not the real answer, just that Taqa was anxious to see the expression on the face of the wife who answered as if the answer was correct.

"Wrongly, I thought you'd know the answer."

"Keep what?"

"If yakult, love your gut.. Drink yakult every day. But if Aa, love yourself all the time." with a yakult chant.

Crick.. Crick..

Ustadz Taqa felt that he was not gifted to be a tombalist, scratching his non-itchy head. Balqis who was just hooked suddenly broke her laughter, not because of her husband's crush, not because of her, but Taqa's failed expression and attitude made her laugh which made the 18-year-old woman laugh out loud at this time.

Buahas.. Haha.. Haha..

"Astaghfirullah are you safe, baby? need to read the chair verse?"

"A', you know all right, but thank you for comforting me. I appreciate Aa's efforts to make me laugh. If ustadz mah is only talented in preaching, do not fight women, just look out Aa, if you like to fight women out there."

Ustadz Taqa digested the words of his wife. Is his wife jealous if she sees him fighting another woman? but that's where it might be, ustadz Taqa isn't such a man. He is a faithful husband, and can be proven later.

"Thank you for the compliment baby, Aa assume you're praising Aa."

"Whoever praises, Aa in addition to pennies also yes."

"Seriously? For my wife's sake Aa would do anything, as long as you can always laugh and always be happy with Aa."

Suddenly a smile rose on Balqis' lips. Somehow he began to get used to the presence of Ustadz Taqa. She could see the sincerity of her husband. Slowly Balqis leaned her head against the husband's shoulder. Ustadz Taqa was surprised that his wife now dared to take the first step.

Not wanting to waste the current atmosphere, Ustadz Taqa stroked the head of the wife who was still wrapped in hijab, to make Balqis Comfortable with the caress of affection given by her husband.

Dad was the greatest father in Balqis' life. Maybe whoever's gonna be a father's son, everybody's gonna say that. But somehow Balqis was afraid that father would no longer be able to see the world and would no longer be able to gather with all of us.

Cceit...

The tears re-wetted the smooth cheeks of Balqis. Ustadz Taqa could feel his wife now sad again, but he let Balqis express all her feelings about her. Perhaps that way he could express all the feelings he could not express to his father at this time.

"Cry until you are relieved, but remember dear. Go back to being a cheerful Balqis the next day after all your feelings today you shed. Balqis, Aa is indeed a stranger who is present in your life and is now your husband. But one thing you need to remember, Aa is ready to be your superhero, not to replace the position of father, but as your protector whenever you need Aa. Because the true affection and struggle of a father in raising and educating his child can never be replaced."

Balqis raised her head and stared fixedly at the husband's bead. There is no lie from every word of the husband that comes out of his mouth, but there is only honesty and sincerity. Instantly Balqis was moved because the man who had not long been her husband was able to make her feel appreciated.

"Thank you A, thank you Aa for being present in Balqis' life at a time when Balqis was in need of a person who was able to give strength in Balqis life. Maybe Balqis can't love Aa yet, but Balqis will try to be a good wife to Aa. Balqis hopes Aa is patient in guiding Balqis forward. Because Balqis is still lacking and needs guidance from a sholeh husband like Aa'.

The smile spread between the two sons and grandsons of Adam and Eve. I don't know what's in each of their minds. For sure, at this time they were both silent in a silence observing the face before them. The distance was further eroded, slowly ustadz Taqa brought his face closer to the wife's face.

The cup!

"It's a habit to like kissing me."

"Astaghfirullah Balqis, you are not romantic. Aa just kissed your forehead. Why is your reaction so? Or do you actually want Aa to kiss you in another area? Where do you want it? Here, here, here, or.. In here?"

Ustadz Taqa raised his eyebrows, he deliberately wanted to prank his wife. It seems that the wife's ignorant nature is also attached to the Taqa ustadz. Balqis immediately gave her distance and moved from her seat. He ran to avoid his husband. Seeing Balqis dodge, Ustadz Taqa chased Balqis, finally that night they chased each other in a room that was a sizeable size for a room.

Until Balqis threw a pillow on the mattress towards the husband to stop the pursuit of the husband. They laughed together and at once Balqis forgot her sadness. It turns out that the efforts of Ustadz Taqa to make his wife laugh again are not in vain.

"It's A', geez, I'm blushing. Don't chase anymore."

"OK, but there must be a condition. If you agree, Aa will stay here."

"Condition? Cook the same wife herself there must be laden."

"So now you have admitted that you are Aa's wife. Thank you at last, thank God. Okay, just tell me the terms, you don't talk to me again with Aa, try to start learning to say your name or a romantic word."

Balqis seemed to be thinking, she was thinking what. If that's not hard for Balqis. Ustadz Taqa is her husband, however, she must learn to respect him.

"Okay deal."

Ustadz Taqa brandished his little finger, Balqis laughed at seeing her husband as he made such a promise in the days when he was a child if he made an appointment with his friend. But Balqis kept linking the little finger to the little pursuits of the husband. It was done ustadz Taqa just to adjust himself to his personality the wife.
