When Love Is Afflicting
Just the past

Arriving home, Annisa immediately stopped her steps to see Shaka sitting on the living room sofa, wiping her bite-sized hand rub. Annisa slowly steps her legs closer to Shaka, lowering her body in front of the handsome guy. Annisa takes Shaka's arm, but Shaka immediately brushes over her and looks at her unfriendly.

"I'm sorry" said Annisa.

Shaka threw his face the other way, then stood up from his seat and stepped up.

"Gazo"

Shaka's steps came to a halt as Annisa caught one of his legs. Shaka took a rough breath and let it out slowly before speaking.

"I need some time."

"Give me a little chance to explain." Annisa still doesn't want to let go of Shaka's legs.

"Didn't you solve your problem?." Shaka spoke without wanting to see Annisa's face resting on her feet.

Annisa was speechless hearing Shaka call her by your call.' It sounded very rude in Annisa's ears.

"My fault married you. I know that you don't love me. You love that guy. You love each other, Annisa !." Shaka raised his voice.

"But you managed to make me love you" replied Annisa. Hugging Shaka's feet and leaning his head against the guy's feet while crying sobbing from hearing Shaka's snaps just now. Sick, Annisa's day is very sick.

Annisa kept crying sobbing. What harm? why does love always get him punished?.

"What do I do to make you believe me, Shaka?. I didn't do anything wrong."

"I want to believe you, Annisa. But my heart hesitates."

Annisa grew sobbing and slowly took off Shaka's legs from inside her arms.

"Shaka, Annisa."

Shaka and Annisa's reflexes turned towards the door of the house. Annisa wiped away her tears that reluctantly stopped coming out to see their companions coming after her.

"Annisa" said Salwa and Hasna together. Approaching Annisa and hugging their best friend.

"We believe in you, Annisa" Salwa said. He has known Annisa for a long time, even from their time SD.

"Yes Annisa, don't be sad anymore. There are we who are always there for you" Hasna continued.

They were also on the show, but after the meal began. They prefer to enjoy food in the back garden of the house, so they are late to know what has happened. What else at the time of the incident no noise was heard at all.

Instead of stopping crying, Annisa was crying more and more. Sadness mixed with heart, because there are still people who choose to believe in him.

"Shaka, not to defend Annisa. But it would be better to find out first the truth, then you can judge" said Ferel. Shaka does not want to hurt Annisa further, which leads to regret later for Shaka.

"Yes Shaka. What we see is not necessarily the truth" Salwa continued. That was one of Papa Ansel's advice to him. To not judge people or events by what we see.

"I believe they didn't do anything in that bathroom. But..."

Shaka hung up his sentence and took out something from inside his pants pocket. Shaka hangs the tasbih in his hand and shows it to Annisa and Ferel, Salwa, Hasna, Calix, Dafi and Dzaki who are there.

Annisa frowned looking at the prayer beads in Shaka's hands. The tasbih was the object Furqon had given him when Furqon had just returned from Cairo.

"How can I still believe that you and Ustadz Furqon don't love each other anymore Annisa?. Even until your house fires, and you move twice, you always carry this bagbih. You keep it very well" Shaka explained.

"It's just a Shaka thing, it has nothing to do with how I feel right now" Annisa said.

'Oh Allah, why does the problem go where?' inner Annisa frustrated.

Shaka took something out of his pants pocket. This one is a colored paper that is folded very neatly and uniquely. If opened a little, the paper folds are star shaped. Shaka smiled bitterly, it turns out that handsome Ustadz is very romantic, know treat girls according to their age. What else is reading the contents of the letter, all hearts must melt.

"You also kept the letter, Annisa."

Annisa let out a sigh, seeing that Shaka was currently being jealous heavily, it was only natural. Annisa thinks, what because of the findings Shaka suddenly disappeared from the event without saying goodbye. And to be honest, Annisa doesn't know about the love letter at all. Annisa also did not know when Furqon had given her the letter.

"But I don't know about the letter" Annisa said, puzzled.

Apparently it was only the incident earlier that Shaka was angry with him, but because Shaka found it in his room last night. Shaka finds Furqon's gift to her.

"Don't know what you said?" Shaka grunts." This letter should have been burned, but you saved it, it's worth it to you."

Shaka's chest was seen up and down holding back his emotions so as not to overflow. Annisa was frozen. His memory immediately revolved considering the incident of their home fire because of his negligence in using the stove.

"It's just Shaka's past" Salwa tries to defend Annisa.

Although Salwa's a spoiled child at home. But the girl has a more mature and broad mind than Shaka.

"But he still keeps it" said Shaka.

"Then what do you want?. Angry at Annisa forever?. Why not just let it go if you don't have faith in Annisa anymore?" furious Salwa.

Duarr! Duarr!

Like the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve. Both Shaka, Annisa and the gangs were similarly shocked to hear what Salwa said.

"You talk, Salwa." Shaka's heart was beating so fast, his heart was also shaking violently hearing Salwa say to take Annisa off.

Although he was angry and jealous at this time, but the slightest did not cross his heart and mind to let go of Annisa.

"You let Annisa rest at your feet, Shaka. What kind of husband are you?. If Ustadz Bilal sees that, his heart will be broken, feeling guilty for leaving his daughter to the wrong person" Salwa said.

All right, let Salwa help with Annisa's problem. Ferel the gangs just kept silent to witness the debate of twin brothers who do not look like it.

"Annisa won't take off my legs." Shaka defended himself. It seemed like the guy's heart was hardened from anger and jealousy.

"Be a little mature" said Salwa, careless to see Shaka.

"Already, you don't need to argue anymore" Annisa spoke, her head getting dizzy at the commotion of Salwa and Shaka. Annisa stood up from the floor to climb the stairs to the second floor.

Arriving in the room, Annisa immediately arranged her goods into a travel bag. It felt like Annisa would not be able to stay on her own with Shaka, if the man was cold to her.

'Maybe I'll have the same fate as Mama.'

Annisa sat there while wiping away her tears that were flowing back. Finished compiling her belongings, Annisa dragged her out of the room carrying her downstairs to the house.

"Annisa, where are you going?" hasna saw Annisa carrying a suitcase.
