In the Name of a Mate
Chapter 48: Maybe not now

In the cold night, cloudy clouds begin to lower the light drizzle with a gentle breeze that is enough to make the skin shiver cold

"Sir Qais must be fighting again right?" Qais chuckled then grimaced with pain due to a torn wound on the tip of his lip

If Layla knew that the one who did this was Bilal, she somehow reacted. After finishing his sentence earlier, suddenly Bilal immediately gave a punch to his face to make him fall because he was not ready for the impromptu attack. I don't know since when his wife's twin brother came and heard everything

"But crying, does it hurt so much?" Qais shook his head then nodded. His heart was much more sore than this small wound, as he stared at his wife his cries grew louder to the point of making Layla bewilderment herself

"We went to the hospital, like it hurt. Are there other parts that hurt?"

"It hurts" Qais pointed at his chest

"Maybe Kak Qais's bones are broken here" Qais shook his head, pulling his wife in a hug. Things he couldn't do anymore

"Sorry Ila, sorry"

"Why apologize? Qais is not wrong"

Qais tightened his arms and apologized many times

"What's really going on?" Layla rubbed her husband's back shaking from crying

"Before I told you about the devils and my parents being murdered?" Qais said that without taking off his embrace at all

"Yes, never"

"I killed that man Ila" Qais could feel his wife's body stiffening, but he did not take off his arms and hugged her tighter

"Who's the guy?"

"Pak Rangga, her father Nessi" Layla wanted to take off the hug to see her husband's face, but Qais did not let her, she wanted to continue to hug the woman she loved before their separation

"He reported me to the Ila police and I'm definitely punished"

"But he was wrong too"

"I will also report it because there is already a lot of evidence gathered. That's enough to get him put to death"

"Then what about Kak Qais"

"Ten years maybe" replied Qais still with his sobbing. Layla cried to hear everything, she understood that it was not easy for a child to take off the killer of his parents especially if he saw with his own eyes. But the actions of Qais also could not be justified, he did not want to do the judgment by blaming Qais, he just cried and increasingly hugged his husband who had always looked fine

"Don't cry, I'm feeling more guilty about you"

"Sir Qais is not wrong"

"My wife listen to me" Qais took off his arms and held both of his wife's shoulders

He looked into Layla's eyes that were reddened by crying, he rubbed his finger to wipe away the tears that flowed from there

"Never cry again"

"You and loving you are the most beautiful thing in my life. An unexpected dream come true"

"What does Kak Qais mean?"

"Ila, my sentence can indeed be less than ten years. But still it's not a little time"

"Darling, I don't want your name to be broken because your husband is a prisoner, I don't want you to be the wife of a murderer" Layla shook her head, knowing what her husband meant

"Maybe this is the way God rebukes me, maybe in this way God makes my way easier, maybe this way I can be better and maybe this way God is testing me" Qais fused their foreheads and looked at his wife's eyes

"You should know that I love you very much. But, our destiny may not be the present or it may just be here"

"I love you my wife, I love you Asma Layla Husna. What a beautiful name I will always remember until later"

"I love you too, very much" Qais cried even more, a happy feeling that came at the wrong time

"I'm happy to hear it, it's a beautiful sentence that I want to always hear. I'm happy when I get my feelings back, but I'm sorry for failing to hold on to it" Layla shook her head

"I can wait..."

"No, don't wait for me. Achieve your own happiness, achieve your dreams and ideals as high as possible. I don't want your name to go bad because of your husband"

"Let destiny go, if we're a match again, I'll be the luckiest man in the world"

"Pursue your dreams, reach your goals, live well and..."

"And what?"

"I can't say I hope you get better than me" Layla chuckled lightly as her tears still flowed

"I ask for help, never meet me in the bars, because it will make me feel tormented by my feelings for you" said Qais

Qais kissed every inch of his wife's face and took longer to kiss her forehead before they could no longer be together after this

"I'm sorry, sorry"

"Bismil was bornrohmanirrohim, Asma Layla Husna now you are no longer my wife, I dropped a talaq on you"

Qais let go of their embrace and cried as they pleased. Layla could not hold her stuffing, until she felt someone clutching her body from behind. A warm decapitation that always accompanied him from childhood

"Dad" she looked at the face of the man she loved so much and shed tears in her arms

"Paad's sick"

"Help son, right Qais said probably not at this time" Naufal hugged his daughter's sobbing body, he slightly rubbed the corner of his watery eyes

Farewell was something he never expected at the wedding of his children. He knows the pain of losing the one we love. But how else, humans are still planemakers, the decision remains in the hands of the creator

"The punishment of the world is nothing like the law of the Hereafter, it is better to be punished in the world than the hereafter. Make this a self-introspection and get better. Prove when you come out later, you are no longer the Qais known badboy campus" Qais nodded, he reciprocated his ex-sister-in-law's embrace

Bilal patted Qais on the shoulder, who was taller than him, knowing he was wrong, but he was also proud that Qais wanted to acknowledge and promise to change. Regarding the blow he did last afternoon, consider it as an outlet for the pain he gave because the man made his sister cry
