Cinta Ilham & Zahra
MCIDZS. 18The Jealousy of Alisha

One month later.

The news of someone who wanted to propose to Zahra had reached the ear of Inspiration who never knew anything.

In this way, Ilham was very surprised to find out. However, he remained calm because he was with Alisha.

"Mas" said Alisha, sitting next to her husband on the living room couch.

"Hem." Inspiration only retaliates by deheman alone.

"Zahra is already there to ask him," said Alisha and Ilham rounded his eyes perfectly.

"Who's the guy?" ask Ilham who unknowingly asked such a thing to his wife.

Alisha looked in surprise, seeing her husband's reaction which was very different from before.

"I don't know, just find out for yourself" Alisha said with a very upset face.

"What's the answer? I just asked, nothing more."

"Whatever, I don't know anything." Alisha still put her upset face to Ilham.

Inspiration rubbed his face slowly, he only realized that now his wife was upset and angry with him, because without realizing it, he made his wife jealous.

"Alright, Mas will not ask that again," said Ilham soraya approached the body of his wife who was upset.

"Why? Didn't you really want to know that?"

"Yes, that was. Not anymore" replied Ilham with a smile.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Ilham was silent for a while and looked back at Alisha's face. "That's not important" replied Ilham lightly.

Now that Ilham had returned to his cold attitude again, even Alisha saw clearly the change from her husband's face.

"That's it, I'll never understand what I mean." Alisha looked upset and started to move from her seat.

However, Ilham suddenly pulled his wife's hand back so that Alisha again sat on the sofa that he had sat before.

"Mas knows what you mean, but Mas does not want any heart to hurt," said Ilham by staring into his wife's two beautiful eyeballs.

Alisha was silent as she thought back to the words that came out of her husband's mouth.

"Hopefully, there is no sense between the two of us" continued Ilham with his flat face.

"Mas don't worry, I'll never wish for more that might hurt my heart." Alisha smiled bitterly, responding to the words of Ilham.

Not long after that, Alisha again left Ilham who was still silent, thinking about her words earlier.

"Am I wrong, have I said that to Alisha?" Inspiration asks itself.

Far from the mind of Ilham, Alisha seemed to be sad in the kitchen which happened to be no one there.

"Is it painful to be a wife whose own husband can never love her? Am I not worthy of being a good wife?" murmured' Alisha, accompanied by tears coming out from the corner of her beautiful eyes.

"Alisha, you must be strong. This is just the beginning and nothing, Mas Ilham has also opened his heart. Therefore, I do not need to be sad because of his words." Alisha rubbed her face that had been soaked by tears.

"What are you doing here, Alisha?" asked Rahma's mother who was suddenly beside her daughter.

"Alisha ... just looking for groceries, ma'am." He opened the refrigerator door and it made Rahma's mother feel astonished.

"For what, Sha? Didn't you cook this morning? Why look for food?" asked Rahma's mother with a frown in wonder.

Hearing her mother's question, Alisha felt shocked and could not do anything more, even her face was already pias and made Rahma's mother guess what happened.

"There is no problem, right, between you and Ilham?" Rahma's mother tries to figure out what happened to her daughter at this point.

"Nothing, ma'am," said Alisha, who tried to hide everything that happened to her and to Ilham.

Rahma's mother looked at Alisha's face with question marks. "Mom, I think you're hiding something from Mom" said Rahma and Alisha, shocked, after hearing her mother's words.

"Tell me, Sha. You are Mother's daughter, however, I already know your attitude" said Rahma's mother.

Alisha was silent, she was also confused as to what to say. On the one hand, Alisha did not want her mother to know the condition of her household with Ilham who until now had not perfected each other, while on the other hand, she did not want to hide anything from her mother.

"Sorry Mom, Alisha is not papa. Don't worry, and if you think so, it doesn't matter. Alisha knows, I love Alisha very much. Therefore, Alisha did not want to hurt Mom. Even so, there are many things that Alisha is facing," Alisha said with a big smile to her mother.

Rahma's mother smiled and hugged her daughter's body, while Alisha happily received a hug from her mother.

"Mom sure, you can get through everything that you are facing, because you are strong," said Rahma's mother and Alisha just smiling, in her mother's arms.

***

Two hours later.

In the room, there was a woman reading a thick book. She is Alisha—a woman who is trying hard to find happiness in marriage and her life is suddenly changed, after marrying a handsome ustaz with a myriad of broad knowledge.

However, it turns out his dream to be able to get happiness from his marriage with the young ustaz, he has not been getting until now.

Therefore, Alisha must try to melt the heart of her husband who turned out to be adrift with other women, and none other than Zahra.

However, as a wife, Alisha had full rights to Ilham. In this way, she tries hard to be the wife her husband wants her to be.

In between her busy reading books, Ilham went into her room and looked at her with a gaze that she would often see every day. Where, his gaze was always cold and never showed happiness. Not just happiness, love alone is never Inspiration to give him.

"Alisha, what are you reading?" tanya Ilham and this time her husband seemed very eager to know what he was doing.

"As Mas saw, I was reading a book" replied Alisha and returned to reading the book.

Inspiration breathed out slowly. "I know it's a book, but I mean, what book are you reading?"

"Mas does not need to know, because all this time also Mas can never open to me, then I can do it too," said Alisha and Ilham just stepped up to approach him

Thus, Alisha immediately hid the book she was reading from her husband.

"Don't try to hide it from Mas!" ilham said and immediately picked up the book that Alisha had hidden from the back of his wife's body.

After Ilham got the book that Alisha read earlier, he immediately read the title of the book.

"The key is to get the heart of the husband" Ilham said, reading the title of the book.

He looked at Alisha's face sharply, from the look in his eyes there was also a lot to ask his wife.

"Why read a book like this?" ask Ilham while directing the book he holds to Alisha.

Alisha simply kept silent and settled her husband's face, by preparing to answer the question of Inspiration.
