My Ustadz My Husband
The Part 59

Bilal invites Asma down for dinner, although actually below there is still Hubab, but Bilal says it's okay, he just asks Asma dressed loosely and closed.

Both of them went down for dinner.

Khadijah who still felt annoyed at Bilal did not talk much, he ate in silence, while Asma also ate in silence. only the sound of Hubab and Bilal who continued to talk about his work.

Khadija who lost his appetite immediately stopped even though his food was still on his plate.

"Mas, can I talk to you for a second?" Khadijah said as he moved out of his chair. Bilal who did feel something was wrong with his wife's behavior immediately followed his wife to his room.

"What's wrong?" bilal asked when they got to Khadijah's room.

"Mas, why don't you talk to me if you build that house for Asthma?" khadijah asked withstanding his annoyance.

"Don't you already know that?" Bilal asked in surprise.

"Of course I don't know" replied Khadijah who began to raise his voice.

"If not for Zahra, who else is it for?" ask Bilal who also did not think about the question of his wife.

"I'm your wife too, Mom. Even though you love Asthma more, you build a house for her and you don't talk to me"

"I think you've understood, Khadijah. Besides, you've owned this house, if I build another house, of course it's for Zahra" replied Bilal who also began to be upset what else Khadija brought up his love for Asma, because Bilal had tried his best to keep showing the same love to Khadijah.

"But this house gave your parents, Mas" Khadijah argued

"And it's mine, and I gave it to you. While I haven't given anything to Zahra" Bilal explained with emotions that were about to explode but he tried to hold her back given the condition of his wife.

"What are you really having problems with, right? I'm just trying to be fair to Zahra, if I give you a home, then I should give her a home, too. Where's problem?" tanya Bilal is full of emphasis.

While Khadijah can no longer answer, because the problem is only jealousy, both are indeed the same given a house, but what makes Khadijah jealous, Asma who built the house specifically.

Seeing his silent wife and looking sad, Bilal tried to control his emotions, he approached Khadija and was about to hug her, but Khadija instead retreated.

"You're not fair to me, Mom. You always put Asthma first in everything" said Khadijah and instantly he could no longer stem his tears, and hearing that, of course Bilal was stunned.

"Where am I fair, Khadija?" her question while looking fixed eyes Khadijah and of course his emotions again provoked "I left Zahra for months, I did not take care of her at all just to take care of you. I once left her alone in a strange place until she hated me for days, and that's just for you. Which part of me puts Zahra first? Is it because of that house? When we got married I was very young, I didn't have enough money to build a house for you, and when Abi gave you this house, I gave you this house. And you have a house in your own name, while Zahra is involved. That's why I also gave her a home, where's my injustice?"

Hearing Bilal's true explanation, Khadijah kept silent and he could only cry. Bilal did not have the heart to see his crying wife, but he also did not expect Khadija still accused him of being unfair and preferred Asthma, but he also did not expect Khadijah still accused him of being unfair, while the reality is he always put Khadija because he knew Khadijah needed him more even though it is true his heart loves Asma more and it is not on his own will.

Asma also once accused Bilal of being unfair and it makes him very sad because it is true, Bilal has indeed been unfair to Asma because it prioritizes Khadija, and that makes him very sad, and Bilal still asked Asma to understand why he preferred Khadijah. That's the real injustice.

And Bilal was angry with Khadijah for accusing him of being unjust to her, for the accusation was so untrue.

Bilal immediately got out of Khadijah's room before he got out of control. When he came down, he found Asthma who seemed to have finished his meal. Bilal immediately suppressed his emotions and neutralized his facial expression, trying to smile and approach his young wife.

"It's over?" ask Bilal gently.

"Yes, you just continue eating, I want to go to the room" said Asma.

"I'm full" replied Bilal who had lost his appetite.

"Do you guys have any problems?" ask Hubab to Bilal.

"Engga, Bab. All is well" replied Bilal

"Well, I'll go home tonight"

"Yes, thank you so much for taking care of Khadija"

"That's a problem, she's my sister. I also have an obligation to take care of her"

While Bilal escorted Hubab forward, Asma immediately climbed into his room. Actually he and Hubab had faintly heard the voice of Khadijah who seemed to be quarreling with Bila, but Asma did not know what they were talking about.

After replacing his robe with a nightgown, Asma immediately climbed onto his bed, and suddenly he was surprised by Bilal who just entered his room, Asma was about to ask why he did not go to Khadijah's room, but he expressed his intention when he looked into Bilal's eyes, and from his gaze, he said, Asthma could see Bilal was not well and he held something in his heart.

Asma patted the bed on her side while looking at Bilal and threw a faint smile, gesturing her husband to come to her. Bilal immediately came to his wife with wide steps.

Bilal sits next to Asma and rests his head on his wife's shoulder, making Asma more convinced Bilal is in trouble.

Asma was very curious what they were arguing about, because she had never seen them argue so much. But Asma refrained from asking until her own husband told her. Asthma clasped her husband's hand and hooked her fingers with her husband's fingers and kissed Bilal's hand very gently, as if Asma wanted to tell her that she was there and everything would be fine.

The two fell silent, none of them making a sound, but the grip of the hand was enough to tell everything.

Bilal felt much better getting that touch from his wife and also he felt comfortable leaning on the wife's shoulder, he tightened his hand grip. Then Bilal who wanted to calm his mind even closed his eyes as drowsiness slowly attacked him and he fell asleep on the shoulder of his wife.

Asma gave a kiss good night on the forehead of her husband who had fallen asleep, before finally he followed the husband into his beautiful dream.

Bilal, who had gotten a call from Hubab to go to the office, got down from Astma's room. And he saw Khadijah who seemed to be waiting for him.

"Breakfast?" kadhafi asked her husband.

"I'll have breakfast at the office. Hubab has been calling me since" Bilal replied "How are you? Have you taken any medication?" he asked Khadijah, he did not want to bring up the problem last night and wanted to behave as usual with his wife.

"Sorry" Khadijah said in a low voice, looking regret on his face.

"Come here" said Bilal reached out his hand, Khadija welcomed her and immediately rushed into the arms of her husband. He realized he had made a mistake by saying Bilal was unfair to him, he knew his husband, but Khadijah's jealousy increasingly became as if to close his eyes.

"What the hell" said Bilal to calm his wife, he gave a warm kiss on Khadijah's forehead. That certainly makes Khadija feel better.

Asthma who also went down to see Khadijah and Bilal were hugging, a little jealousy tickled his heart.

"Are you ready?" ask Bilal who saw Asma go down the stairs and was tidy with his school uniform. Asthma nodded and continued walking down.

"You don't have breakfast yet, Asthma?" ask Khadijah while releasing his embrace.

"Engga, Mother. I want to hurry to school, have to copy the lessons left by Nora"

"Hmm yes, be careful" Khadija said to her husband and honey.

"So, take care" cried Asma, he and Bilal immediately left. When entering the car, Asma still turned to Khadijah, and Asma saw Khadijah's eyes.

"Is it because of me?" ask Asma to Bilal

"What?" Bilal asked not understanding the meaning of Asthma.

"It's nothing" replied Asma who did not know what to say.

"Don't think of anything, just focus on your lesson, huh?" bilal exclaimed softly, Asma also confirmed the order of her husband.

"Uhh, who returned home two weeks" exclaimed Nora and immediately hugged her best friend tightly.

"Where's school?" ask Asma and immediately sit on her chair after Nora releases her hug which almost makes her unable to breathe it.

"It's normal, and what's your village?"

"It's still the same, it's just the difference there is Baby Rafa now, so the house is getting rame"

"Hmm envious" exclaimed Nora with a laughable expression "What happened in your village?" asked Nora who saw the look on Asma's face seemed to change.

"Why is there, why?"

"Oh, I just feel like something's changed" Then Nora saw Asthma's face from every angle making Asthma astonished.

"What the hell, Ra?" ask her.

"You're so happy like you are?"

"Yes, wong has met his family"

"But it's not that happy"

"Continue?"

"There's something happier" guess Nora sure

And Asma simply answered her with a knotty smile. How is he unhappy? She and her husband are already united in a bond of love, she thought. And of course in a perfect marriage bond as a husband and wife.

In his office, Bilal was also welcomed by his subordinates, what's more because they really did not meet long ago, they missed Bilal's leadership that went very well, although Hubab was also equally good, he said, but they prefer Bilal who leads the office because it feels more assertive.

And do not forget also his subordinates asked Bilal news and how his honeymoon. Of course Bilal will answer very pleasant. And Hubab, who heard the word honeymoon, looked in wonder at Bilal.

"Who's on the honeymoon?" ask Hubab wonder.

"I am, who else" Bilal replied with a small laugh.

"When? Where's where?" ask Hubab who still doesn't understand.

"For these two weeks, and certainly in my wife's hometown" Bilal replied and he immediately rushed to his room. Leaving behind Hubab who could only sigh deeply.

Khadijah regretted what he said to Bilal, knowing he should thank him for taking good care of him.

And tonight, she wants to spend her time with her husband, and also as his apology.

Khadijah prepared herself and could not wait for her husband to come home. He glanced at the wall clock and already showed 8 o'clock past, he thought surely Bilal had a lot of work delayed.

However, before long the sound of Bilal's car was heard, Khadijah immediately came out to greet him.

"How's the job today, ma'am?" khadijah asked after he opened the door.

"It's very tired" Bilal replied

"Have you had dinner?"

"I ate out with Hubab. Have you eaten at home?" Khadijah nodded then he and Bilal walked towards his room.

"I will prepare warm water" Khadijah exclaimed, but Bilal prevented it.

"Oh, you can't be tired. Do you still feel dizzy and nauseous?"

"Yes, but it's been a little reduced"

"What a thing, just be patient, God willing, everything will improve" cried Bilal and he immediately rushed to the bathroom to clean himself.

After coming out of the bathroom, Bilal saw Khadijah who was waiting for him.

Khadija thinks it might be a good time to talk about his waivers to split up with Asthma.

"Khadija, do you know." exclaimed Bilal before Khadijah spoke "Zahra arrived and asked to stay with Ummi"

Khadija was very surprised to hear that, just now he wanted to say the same thing.

"But Why?" khadijah asked in wonder"Did he like living with us here?"

"I think you know very well why he asked for it" replied Bilal who made Khadija speechless, of course he knew, thinking. Must be because it cannot stand to be brightly shared husband in plain sight.

"I can understand, then what is your decision, Mas?" khadijah asked curiously, hoping Bilal would allow Asma to stay with her mother-in-law.

"He will stay here until his house can be occupied. But if she starts to get uncomfortable from living all three in one roof, I'll allow her"

Khadijah smiled happily at that. He did not mean to be evil to Asthma at all, he just wanted them to live more comfortable and not hate each other, or at least himself, do not keep hate with his circumstances. Jealousy for Asthma has made her make a mistake, and she does not want it to happen again.

Khadijah came down from the bed, he sat at the dresser and stared at his reflection, his face still pale but not as pale as before. In addition to easily tired, dizzy and nauseous due to chemo that he lived, now he also has to lose his hair that he loved. Khadija removed her headscarf, and she was sad to see her head was clean without her crown.

Bilal who saw his wife was sad, immediately approached her and hugged her from behind.

"Yg make you beautiful not your hair, but your smile" Bilal said "That's the problem you lose your hair, but don't lose your smile and your spirit" his continued success made Khadijah smile again.

Khadijah brought Bilal's hand to his lips and kissed him. And he slowly pushed Bilal until Bilal fell on the bed. Understanding what Khadijah wanted, Bilal tried to subtly reject him.

"We must not do this, the doctor said as well as not to let you really feel much better"

"I feel so much better" replied Khadijah who had missed her husband so much. While Bilal who is still worried about the condition of Khadija still rejects it subtly.

"This is for your good, Khadijah. For the sake of your health" Bilal said trying to make his wife understand but Khadija actually looks upset, he immediately went up to the bed, enveloped his entire body with a blanket and did not respond as Bilal tried to make him understand. Bilal could only let out a long sigh and he immediately lay down beside Khadijah. He hugged his wife and apologized for not being able to fulfill his wishes tonight.

"I just want to take care of your health" he said.
