When Love Is Afflicting
Dad, take me home

"Shaka" called Annisa down and lowered her gaze.

Without saying anything to Annisa, Shaka just stepped foot in. It made Annisa shed her tears again.

'O Allah, I have done nothing wrong. Why am I being punished like this?. Show the servant the straight path, O Allah, if the servant is indeed on the wrong path, Annisa while wiping her tears and then stepping into the room.

Annisa went into the bathroom for ablution after immediately carrying out her duties as a Muslim.

Finished praying, Annisa opened her face, but did not immediately stand from the top of her alphabet. Again Annisa shed her tears as her gaze swept over every corner of the room. Five months later, the room became Annisa's most comfortable place. There were so many memories they had created in that room. But now that the room wasn't as comfortable as yesterday anymore, it felt like it had already turned into hell.

Hiks hyks hyx!

Annisa came back crying sobbing sobs. Annisa confused how to? Confused about what to do?. It felt like Annisa wanted to leave that house, but making that decision was not easy. What else Shaka has threatened talak to him if his feet dare to step out the door. But to survive in the house, it seems that Annisa also can not bear if Shaka is so cold.

Ting nung's!

The sound of the bell stopped Annisa's crying. Think about who came to visit. Hearing the bell of the house continue to stand, Annisa immediately rushed from the top of her alphabet. Annisa exits the room to open the door for the guests who come.

"Assalamu aleikum! Annisa!."

"Greetings hallaikum!" annisa replied after arriving at the bottom of the house. Annisa wiped her tears and tried to change her facial expression to look good. Even though his face cannot be hidden.

When she opened the door, Annisa fell silent, looking at her family at the door.

"Annisa, can we come in?" asked Umi Hani to see Annisa silently looking at them.

Annisa reviewed her smile and then covered Ustadz Bilal and Umi Hani."Please come in, Umi."

"Thank you, son!." Ustadz Bilal rubbed Annisa's head and stepped inside.

Look at Yasmin standing behind Ustadz Bilal. Annisa again fell silent to see her brother, who had kicked her out of the room.

"Please enter Yasmin" Annisa said. Although he had a heartache, but Annisa still had to appreciate the people who visited his house.

"Thank you" Yasmin replied, stepping her foot inside the house. There was no smile on the woman's face, even her gaze was still unfriendly to Annisa.

"Where's shaka?" asked Umi Hani, not seeing Shaka in the house. The vehicle was not in front of the house.

"Say was out for a while, Umi" replied Annisa, when in fact Annisa did not know that Shaka was leaving.

Umi Hani, who had been sitting on the sofa, pulled Annisa's hand to sit in between and Ustadz Bilal. Umi Hani framed Annisa's face and then kissed her forehead.

"Mafin Umi and Dad" Umi Hani said in her soft voice.

Annisa's eyes immediately glazed with glass and slowly dripped a clear liquid from her corner.

"Umi believes that Umi's daughter was accidentally in the same bathroom as Furqon. Umi believes, Umi's daughter is not that bad to betray her brother and family" said Umi Hani again, managed to make Annisa more crying.

"Annisa doesn't love Ustadz Furqon anymore, Umi" Isak cried Annisa.

Annisa is crying back not just because of the slander. But because Shaka no longer believes in his love.

"Annisa forgot to close the bathroom door because Annisa kebelet had an upset stomach, Umi. And Ustadz Furqon came in. Ustadz Furqon also went straight out after seeing me in that bathroom" Annisa told me once again.

"Annisa swore by Allah, Umi. Annisa did not intend to betray Kak Yasmin in the slightest" continued Annisa.

"Shhh!" Umi Hani pulls Annisa's body into her arms. Can't bear to see how devastated Annisa's current feelings are.

"Father also believes that this daughter of Father will not betray Father" said Ustadz Bilal pulled Annisa from the arms of Umi Hani, then took her into his arms.

A divorce?

It is not that easy to decide to end a marriage. What else their marriage is just corn-old. Annisa did not want to be a widow at a young age.

'Dad, take me home.'

I really want Annisa to be able to say that to her father. But Annisa had to think about it maturely.

"I'm sorry, Son." Ustadz Bilal was crying.

He was divorced from his ex-wife Aqeela. Annisa was also crying like this, as Aqeela left the house. Until until Annisa is sick and down, keep asking her father to bring her mother back to live with them.

"Annisa, Istiqfar Annisa's. Can't cry too much." Umi Hani rubbed Annisa's head gently from behind.

Although the child is cheerful, but Annisa is a crybaby child, and easily fragile.

Instead of stopping crying, Annisa's crying grew louder. Her chest felt full, wanting to say that Shaka was angry with her, but Annisa had to keep it after hearing her advice yesterday. A wife must hide the shortcomings of her husband.

Seeing Annisa crying roars, Umi Hani and Ustadz Bilal became confused. Didn't they say they believed in Annisa. Annisa should be relieved, not crying like this.

"Annisa, why you baby?" ask Ustadz Bilal.

Annisa shook her head. What is he going to answer? she cried because Shaka had just silenced her and left without saying goodbye. Annisa cannot imagine living together but is ignored.

"But why are you crying like this, son?" ask Ustadz Bilal again.

Annisa shook her head again.

"Did Shaka hurt you?" guess Ustadz Bilal.

Again Annisa shook her head.

"But why are you crying like this, Annisa?" Umi Hani asked.

Annisa still did not want to answer honestly.

"Let's tell the same story Umi" persuaded Umi Hani to pull Annisa into his arms.

Umi Hani and Ustadz Bilal looked at each other. They are just as likely to think that Annisa and Shaka have a bad relationship right now. What's more seeing Shaka not home. They think that Shaka left Annisa.

Shaka who was driving his vehicle, lowered his speed when he was going to park it in the yard of a simple house. Shaka got out of the car immediately after turning off the engine, carrying a food box in his hand walking towards the door of the modest house.

Tok tok !

"Assalamu aleikum! Inara!." Dahak exclaimed while knocking on the door in front of him.

"Greetings hallaikum!" reply from a woman from within.

Soon the door opened, revealing a beautiful girl coming out of the house.

"I brought you some food." Shaka held out the food box in his hand which he carried was special for the beautiful girl.

"Thank you" the girl named Inara happily accepted."Please sit down, I'll get you a drink first" Inara said again, turning her body into the house. And Shaka sat his body on the chair on the porch of the house.
