Ustadz Irsyad's family had just finished their sahur meal, while waiting for imsyak to arrive.
The three men also chatted for a while in the front room, talking about things that might be more to the stale.
While Nuha helped Umma Rahma fix the dirty dishes of the rest of their sahur meal, and save the rest of the side dishes.
"Umma, where are you going to put this?" Showing some dishes that are still a lot.
"Located in a closed container deck, then put it into the refrigerator yes." Reply Umma Rahma who was washing dirty dishes.
Meanwhile, Nuha immediately reached for food-safe plastic containers to store the leftovers.
"Momu?" Call Noah with a hand that is pouring stewed meat into a container.
"Yes deck?"
"Umma, used to live in the house of Mbah Putri in Magelang no?" Ask Noah. The girl also took the opportunity to glance forward for fear that suddenly A' Faqih entered and listened to her words.
"If only a day and two days were ever dear. If you stay no. Kan Abi works in Jakarta. While Mbah Kakung and Mbah Putri in Magelang."
"So Umma used to be married to Abi, directly in this house or contracted?" Ask Noah. Rahma fell silent, so she decided to turn off the tap and dry her hands. Then he approached Noah and sat down on the chair next to him.
"Emmmm, Umma immediately followed Abi and stayed here right that night after the Ijab Qabul deck. So Alhamdulillah Umma and Abi never contracted."
"Is that so?" Noah answered after putting in the last side dish and closing the container tightly. "But Umma was sad when he came out of the house of grandparents in Priok?"
Rahma smiled and told her daughter to sit in her chair.
"sad... It must be sad, what else Umma did not know Abi Irsyad first. How yes?? Feeling foreign is living with a man we don't know."
"Did Umma ever refuse? When will Abi marry you?"
"Yes is... Who wants to marry someone they don't know. Not to mention Umma used to have his own story. Because the man who was supposed to marry Umma wasn't actually Abi Irsyad."
"Owh yeah? Then who?"
"There's... He died one week before Umma and her wedding. And somehow the story goes, suddenly the late Mbah kyai Khalil, the owner of a boarding school near Akmal's grandfather's house, came with Abi Irsyad to propose to Umma."
"So Umma didn't love Abi when he got married."
"Yes.... Hehehe but your Abi is amazing. He can make Umma's heart as hard as this stone melt. Even Umma's love now for him far exceeds what you imagined. That's why Abi was in an accident. Umma is very sad, Umma is afraid of losing Abi, and Alhamdulillah Abi can still recover and still be on Umma's side until now." Rahma gently stroked Noah's hair. The girl smiled too.
"No, can you? Love A' Faqih?" Nuha muttered.
"Must be, baby. He's your priest,"
"But A' Faqih doesn't seem to be as romantic as Abi."
"Then anyway? Emmm, just now Umma saw your hand held by A' Faqih you know, when such a thing is not romantic anyway?"
"Huh? Umma see?"
"Yes, Umma's position will stand. So I can see it." Rahma replied chuckling, Noah blushed so he felt ashamed of his own Umma.
"Nuha," Call Umma Rahma.
"Yes Umma?"
"Nuha loves Umma and Abi, and Nuha loves Rumi. Nuha still wants to stay here Umma–, Hiks."
"Cssst..... Don't Nangis Dede... Just look. We're going to Umma yuk's room. We talked above, let's not sound Abi let alone Faqih." Rahma suggested as her hand gently rubbed Noah's eyes. The girl nodded quickly and then moved simultaneously towards the second floor precisely the room Both parents.
In the room....
Rahma locked the door and sat down next to Noah, who had sat first on his parents' bed. The room was much wider than his or Rumi's room. And it looks one corner that there is a former picture that is still attached there. That corner was where her bed and Rumi's sister were. Rahma tucked Noah's hair into the back of her ear. Then he kissed Noah's head long enough.
"Oh my God, my daughter. Now that it belongs to someone else, it looks like just yesterday Umma gave birth to you." Mumbled. Noah was crying again.
"Nuha dear Umma. Very." Very."
"Umma is also dear to Dede, but dede must remain enthusiastic huh? Although I have to stay with A' Faqih. Believe the same Umma. It was only a moment's sadness, when your comfort was already in your husband. You will definitely feel more at home nearby, even this house will be very rarely you come so busy with your new life with A'a."
"There's no way Umma, Noah will miss this house every day."
"That's also what's on Umma's mind dear, but after living with Abi. It was like this house was the most comfortable. Defeating Umma's own parents' house."
"Is that so?"
"Yes Dede.... Yes, a small example, for you who will get used to sleeping next to A' Faqih it will be different. If you go back to sleep alone. That's the pleasure of a household, baby. You have so much better peace of heart than when you were alone. Your partner is the best friend in your life.... Later you will prioritize your life only for your husband, even friends gather, brothers all you will ignore. So cool with your partner, especially if you already have children." Rahma buys the child's hair softly. Noah smiled, his heart a little more relieved. It was in her heart that she tried to love A' Faqih and devote her life to her husband.
"How, are you still afraid of your husband?" Ask Umma Rahma. Noah nodded slowly. Rahma smiled and kissed the princess.
"Yes we've come out yuk, imsyak soon. Umma has to finish the dishes."
"Yes Umma. Food has not been put in the refrigerator." Noah's tone was no longer lethargic. Rahma was relieved.
Until they both come out. And just reaching the end of the stairs, Keduanyan passed by A' Faqih.
Noah, who was still not used to looking at each other, looked down again.
"Umma." Faqih smiled, greeting Umma Rahma, Yang replied with a Rahma smile while nodding slowly. Then continue his steps down.
Another case with Noah who was still silent, especially when A' Faqih continued his steps, approached and then grabbed Noah's hand and took him, making the girl immediately turn the bow following the husband into his room.
the room was again locked by A' Faqih. The two were still silent, breathing. A' Faqih even slightly hunted after standing for quite a while, doing nothing.
"Neng, before imsak. Can I have something?" the man spoke more stiffly, not as usual.
Noah raised his head to look at the husband slowly, with the husband already looking deeply at Noah. Until Noah's hands squeezed each other, he did not even dare to ask, what request did her husband mean.
One hand Faqih touched Noah's cheek for a moment. Then it slowly began to approach his face with a slight inclination of his body.
'oh my God, I am nervous... I should be able to do this. In order to be curious, and want me not to be turbulent even to interfere with my worship later.' Faqih's mind is getting closer, Faqih, until a first kiss landed on the lips of Noah even though only limited to stick it very briefly because Noah suddenly reflexes inching. Until the kiss comes off.
A tear dripped, the girl slightly moved away from her Husband.
"I'm sorry.I'm sorry Noah... Noah can't be A' ... Noah is still afraid." Noah's hand shook. Faqih rubbed Noah's head.
"It's okay, A'a understands." he said gently, he felt sorry when he saw the wife was scared so he immediately grabbed Noah's body and hugged her so that she was much calmer.
'it's okay, at least I've felt it a little bit. I love you, Noah.' Inner Faqih who still hugged the body of Noah tightly, until his eyes also wet because touched, so that, the extremely irregular heartbeat made him sigh many times with a smile that kept on turning that he really felt happy at this time because he could finally marry the girl he admired deeply quietness.
