Cinta Ilham & Zahra
MCIDZS. 10Try to Accept Reality

After the conversation in the living room was over, Zahra immediately prepared her equipment to go with Alisha. Even so, he felt it would be a little hard to leave his parents behind. However, he also could not do anything because he had already decided on it. After all, Zahra did not go far, she would only stay with her aunt, so there was nothing to worry about anymore.

As Zahra prepared, Alisha and Ilham went to Abi Zaenal's house first because Ilham wanted to meet his parents.

Alisha is at Abi Zaenal's house. He soon went inside with his wife. However, Alisha could only bow her head when everyone saw her with a surprised face, and some saw her dislike. However, Ilham is a young ustaz who is very popular with women. So, it was only natural that they looked at Alisha like never before.

Even so, Inspiration did not pay any attention to it at all and just walked right through it. It is only natural that many people are astonished because no one knows about the marriage of Ilham and Alisha so that people respond to it not as usual. Especially after Ilham brought Alisha with him, while all this time Ilham was never close to any woman other than his family.

The arrival of the two of them was warmly welcomed by Abi Zaenal and Umm Siti so as not to make Alisha afraid. After all, he had also known his teacher for a long time. However, Alisha always respected her, especially now she has become the wife of Ilham.

"Bronghorn, Alisha. Please come in, Abi must have been very happy with your arrival," said Ummi Siti and Ilham immediately entered with his wife into the house.

After that, they both sat on the sofa and there was Abi Zaenal there. That way, Ilham immediately shone his hand, as well as Alisha.

"Ilham, how are you two doing?" abi Zaenal asked, which made Inspiration look at him.

"Thank God, healthy and good, Bi."

"Alhamdulillah, Alisha is also good," said Alisha and Abi Zaenal just smiled at her.

"Then why did Ilham not tell Abi first if he wanted to come back here?" abi Zaenal asked as he looked at the two.

"Ilham just happened to be here because Alisha wanted to meet Zahra. So, all of you Ilham come here, and Ilham also has the intention to go home because there is something Ilham wants to say to Abi," replied Ilham with a little calm.

"Zahra's the daughter of Ustaz Hasan?" ask Abi Zaenal soraya to make sure.

"Yes, Bi" replied Ilham. In fact, his heart was already very heavy saying that name, but did not know why it was always faced with that name.

After that, Abi Zaenal did not ask anything more, because he thought it was a little clear.

"Abi, actually Ilham wanted to ask Abi for permission," said Ilham as he bowed.

"What adultery?" abi Zaenal asked with a frown because Inspiration had not explained everything.

Hearing her abu's question, Ilham instead glanced at Alisha who was beside her and Alisha understood the reason her husband was staring at her, because Ilham would immediately tell her mother's request to Abi Zaenal. That way, Alisha just nodded so that Ilham looked back at her ashes.

"Abi, before that, Rahma's mother asked me to take care of Darussalam Pesantren. Therefore, Ilham wanted to ask Abi for permission for it, because Ilham could not decide it," said Ilham. The man looks confused.

"Maybe, Abi will not forbid you. After all, here there are still Ahmad and Abi who can still teach. Therefore, you must have a very deep attitude of responsibility because taking care of the pesantren must be patient, do not be hasty," replied Abi Zaenal and Ilham also understood.

"Good, Abi. Maybe for now that attitude does not exist, but in the future Ilham will try to present that attitude of responsibility" said Ilham while convincing.

"Alright, Abi can only pray for him. And hopefully your two households can always be happy" said Abi Zaenal and his words have succeeded in making both bowed.

"Ilham, do you want to stay here?" asked Abi Zaenal because the atmosphere became quiet.

"No, Bi because we will be back later in the afternoon" replied Ilham and Abi Zaenal understood.

"Alright, then, you guys are here first. The time is still long" said Abi Zaenal and Ilham just nodded his head.

Alisha was silent, she did not know what to do because in her house alone Ilham never spoke much to her, while Alisha still dissolved in her sadness. However, now Alisha has returned to what she used to be because there are still many people who love her even though it is not from her own husband.

However, after Abi Zaenal said that. The atmosphere became even more silent and unbelievable, the couple did not say anything. That way, Ummi Siti who understood him immediately acted.

"Alisha, can help Ummi in the kitchen," said Ummi Siti so as to make Alisha look at her in-laws.

"May, Ummi," answered Alisha very quickly, because she did not want to be in an atmosphere that was just quiet and tense.

"Come on," Umm Siti and Alisha immediately got out of her seat and walked up to Umm Siti.

After Alisha left the place, Abi Zaenal felt a little strange with the relationship of Ilham and Alisha. Abi Zaenal asked his son.

"Ilham, have you made Alisha feel comfortable around you?" abi Zaenal asked.

"Yet, Abi. Inspiration cannot do it" replied Ilham who was confused.

"Why?" abi Zaenal asked who made Ilham look at his ashes deeply.

"Do I have to tell Abi the truth? However, it is very unlikely" murmured Inspiration in his heart.

In the end, Ilham just kept quiet and did not say anything more, while Abi Zaenal who understood the nature of his son could only advise.

"How hard you are to face this reality, still you can not return it back because everything has happened. Therefore, accept it freely because not everything we want can happen. And don't continue to drag on in worry, it won't all be over. Try to learn to accept reality and make peace with the situation" said Abi Zaenal who wanted to make his son understand.

Inspiration seemed to ponder all the words of his brother because if Abi Zaenal had said something to him, as if that was the best. Therefore, Ilham will try the advice of his ashes and start from Alisha—his wife. Inspiration will try to be a good husband for Alisha.
