When Love Is Afflicting
Ngambek.

"A wife is a dress for her husband, and vice versa. Talking about the disgrace or lack of a husband, is the same as stripping yourself. Likewise with the husband who talks about his wife's shortcomings. Husband and wife should equally cover up the shortcomings or disgrace of each. Don't talk about it to anyone else even if it's to your own family. As mentioned in the Quran:

They (your wife's wife) are clothes to you and are clothes to them.(QS. Al baqoroh: 187)."

That's how Ustadz Bilal advised his daughter Annisa. Although Annisa is a smart, smart girl and Soleha. But Annisa has not had the full maturity to understand what marriage is, what is husband and wife.So Annisa and (all of us wives) often unknowingly make a big mistake on our husbands. As Annisa has done, she unknowingly puts her husband to shame on her family.

"What should Annisa do, Dad?. It seems like Shaka is angry at Annisa" Annisa asked as she wiped away her tears flowing down her cheeks.

"I apologize, dear" replied Ustadz Bilal, extending his hand to remove the clear melt on his daughter's cheek.

"Then Annisa wants to see Shaka, Dad." Annisa stood up from her seat."Annisa go first, assalamu alaikum."

Annisa ran out of the house. He's going to the company where Shaka works. He had to apologize directly to Shaka right now. Although actually Annisa can apologize by phone. But it was better for Annisa to apologize directly to Shaka.

Arriving outside the gate, Annisa also ordered an Ojek On line. Annisa is already looking forward to meeting Shaka. After the ojek order came, Annisa immediately drove on the taxi driver.

Arrived at the company Citra Indah owned by the Shaka family. Annisa came straight down from the bouncer's arms, and set her foot toward the company's security post.

"Dad! where the fare" exclaimed the carpenter.

"Astaqfirullohal azim" Annisa muttered immediately turned around and approached the carpenter again. Annisa also pays according to the tariff that has been determined." Thank you, sir."

"Same, Dek" replied the gojek driver.

Annisa again stepped towards the security guard post, to ask for permission to enter.

"Excuse me, sir" said Annisa to a security guard sitting in the post, with eyes bristling with drowsiness.

"Yes" the guard replied in shock and immediately turned to look at Annisa who was peering from the glass hole.

"Sir, I want to see Shaka, can I come in?" ask Annisa. This is the first time Annisa has visited the company.

"Saka? You mean Mr Ansel's son?" ask the security guard back.

"Yes, Sir. Shaka's inside, right?" ask Annisa again.

"Just go, Dek" replied the security guard.

Annisa was silent with a frown. Thinking where Shaka went?, why not give it a try?.

"Then thank you, sir."

"Same, Deck"

Annisa also stepped her foot away from the Sattam post. Before ordering a taxi for her, Annisa looked at the company building, hoping Shaka would see it from one of the company's windows. For some reason, Annisa feels Shaka is inside.

I don't want to go back to her parents' house. Annisa also chooses to spend some time outside. Maybe he'll wait for Shaka to finish work. Only later will they be the same as going home to Annisa's parents.

Arriving at a shopping center, Annisa stepped into the mall. There Annisa has no purpose, so she just wants to spend time walking. After being tired Annisa sat her body on one of the long benches available in the mall. Annisa tries to contact Shaka. Maybe Shaka is not busy anymore. However, the number he dialed did not receive his phone call.

'Where's she? Is Shaka very angry huh?' inner Annisa is restless.

Annisa repeatedly calls no Shaka, but the man does not receive her calls. Successfully made Annisa sad, worried and felt increasingly guilty. Annisa decides to send an apology message to Shaka. Hoping that Shaka read his message and contact him directly.

But that hope was lost until the afternoon had greeted. Shaka had no news and was unwilling to take his phone call. Finally, Annisa left the mall, going home to her parents.

"Annisa, where's Shaka? why not come?" yasmin asked, who passed Annisa under the stairs.

"He's still a lot of work, he says he'll come out" lied Annisa, with a lackluster face.

Yasmin also looked at Annisa's face. It was clear in his sister's face that Annisa had not received an apology from Shaka. But Yasmin did not want to ask again, so that Annisa was not confused looking for lies again.

"Oh!" finally Yasmin ber O only while nodding understandingly.

Annisa also stepped her feet towards her room in the house. The room he missed for a few months.

Arriving in the room, Annisa tries to call Shaka's number again, but Shaka still does not receive her phone call.

"Shaka" said Annisa slowly dropping her tears." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you. Indeed our money is no longer there, and you payday is still a long time he said." Annisa monologues while wiping away her tears.

Annisa also laid her body on the bed, lying on her side and hugging her pillow.

Until the night of the day, Shaka had no news. Makes Annisa worry if anything happens to Shaka. So Annisa contacts Salwa, Shaka's twin sister.

"Assalamu aleikum Salwa. Is Shaka coming back there?. Shaka didn't pick up my phone. I went to the company, Shaka wasn't there either" Annisa recounted immediately after Salwa received her phone call.

"So Shaka with Papa there was a meeting outside the company. But at two o'clock Papa has arrived at home" replied Annisa.

"Then where did Shaka go?" ask Annisa.

"I don't know, at your house" replied Salwa.

Annisa thought to herself, "Oh, I'll check into the house first."

Annisa instantly turned off her phone connection and rushed out of the room, running down the lower floor steps of the house.

"Annisa, where are you going?. Let's have dinner."

Annisa's steps immediately stopped hearing the cry of Umi Hani who had just come out from inside the room on the lower floor of the house.

"Annisa wants to check on Shaka to Umi's house. Assalamu alaikum." Annisa immediately ran out of the house, so that her steps were not blocked anymore.

Umi Hani also sighed harshly, seeing the matter of Annisa and Shaka, apparently unresolved. Umi Hani went back into the room to see her husband.

"Abang, it looks like Annisa and Shaka are not better yet" Umi Hani told Ustadz Bilal, who was busy giving baby Han milk bottles, Because his wife's milk was practically insufficient to fill baby Han's stomach anymore.

"Let them learn to solve their own household problems. If they don't find the bright spot. Only then can we give them a briefing" replied Ustadz Bilal, not wanting to interfere with his daughter's household problems.

Most of the problems that Annisa and Shaka face are still simple problems. Bermantem little, crashing, it is common in households.
