When Love Is Afflicting
Give him back

At night, Shaka just returned home. While parking his car, Shaka saw Ustadz Bilal's vehicle parked in the yard. That means his in-laws are coming. Shaka let out a heavy sigh, he was not ready if he had to talk about the matter with Annisa anymore. But his wife's family didn't seem to want to give him much longer to think.

"Assalamu alaikum" Shaka said as he stepped into the house.

And rightly, in the living room of the house, Ustadz Bilal was waiting for him alone. Umi Hani and Yasmin had gone home first, because baby Han was left at home.

"Greetings Walaikum" replied Ustadz Bilal to comment a little smile towards Shaka.

"Dad, what's wrong?" shaka asked, even though he actually knew the purpose of his father-in-law came to his house.

"Nothing, I'm just waiting for you to come home" replied Ustadz Bilal." Here's my son, sitting next to me." Ustadz Bilal patted the sofa next to him.

Shaka sat next to Ustadz Bilal. And Ustadz Bilal patted Shaka on the shoulder.

"Dad apologized for the mistake of Father's daughter" said Ustadz Bilal. Shaka turned to his father-in-law." I understand your position, son. I understand your feelings. Father is also a man" continued Ustadz Bilal.

Shaka just kept quiet waiting for the continuation of what the middle-aged man would say.

"But, Son. Can you still accept Father's daughter with a chest?." The eyes of Ustadz Bilal began to look glassy. Ustadz Bilal does not want to defend Annisa in front of Shaka. Want to explain, but they have not found any evidence that Annisa and Furqon were trapped. Let Ustadz Bilal admit that his daughter made a mistake, and that time answered everything.

Seeing Annisa's cry earlier, Ustadz Bilal could guess if Shaka had hurt Annisa with words or maybe with an attitude. Otherwise, it was impossible for Annisa to cry bitterly and roar Raung to the cudgings.

Shaka was silent with a frown. Thinking that Annisa had complained to her parents. Until his father-in-law asked like that.

"It never crossed my mind to divorce Annisa, Dad" Shaka replied. It wasn't just the bathroom issue that Shaka was concerned about. But the most problematic thing for Shaka is, Annisa and Furqon are still in love with each other.

Ustadz Bilal reviewed his smile, then gently rubbed Shaka's shoulder." Thank you, Son."

"Shaka also apologizes, Dad. Maybe Shaka is not the perfect husband for Annisa" Shaka said.

"No man can be a perfect husband, son. I only ask if I don't love my daughter anymore, or I can't accept her bad. Please don't hurt him, son. Give him back in a good way well, how Daddy gave it to you in a good way well too. That's all Dad asks, son" replied Ustadz Bilal, this time unable to hold back his tears.

Shaka was silent.

"Yes, I'm home first. Annisa's in the room. He hasn't eaten, he said waiting for you to come home." Ustadz Bilal stood up from his seat, wiping his tears from the corner of his eye.

Which father is not sad to see his daughter's heart broken because of the bad attitude from her husband. Perhaps Ustadz Bilal's heart was even more sad if he found out that his daughter was on her knees apologizing from her daughter-in-law.

"Heart Well." Shaka followed Ustadz Bilal towards the door, to escort him to the door.

After Ustadz Bilal left, Shaka closed the door and did not forget to lock it tightly. Shaka steps up the steps of the house to his room and Annisa. Arriving at the door of their room, Shaka took in his breath and let it out slowly before opening the door in front of him.

Chequek!

Anna's reflex sitting on the bed turned towards the open door. When she saw Shaka enter, Annisa immediately turned her gaze in the other direction.

Shaka closed the door behind her back, then stepped towards Annisa who was sitting on the bed.

"What did you say to me?" ask Shaka.

"Annisa, what are you saying to me?" ask Shaka again because Annisa did not answer.

But Annisa still closed her mouth. It seems like the heart of Murtado Shaka Budiman's wife is starting to harden.

Shaka is afraid Annisa asks her parents to take her from the house, or maybe Annisa asks her father for help to take care of their divorce. What else was Ustadz Bilal had said, asking to return his daughter if Shaka did not love him anymore. Of course it scared Shaka half to death.

"Annais?" call Shaka.

Annisa did not hear, she also laid her body tilted back to Shaka.

'Rasain, I can also be silent' Annisa's inner. You're going to follow the priest, right?.

Shaka sighed seeing Annisa ignoring him. Then Shaka sat his body on the mattress, trying to touch the arm of Annisa, who was directly on the edge of the beautiful and sweet-faced girl.

"Say your father hasn't eaten, let's have dinner first, I bought your favorite food" Shaka said, touching Annisa's arm. And Annisa brushed her hand back.

"Dear" call Shaka.

If only Shaka could lift his wife's body. Shaka had lifted his wife's body and brought her down from the bed without persuading her. But what is the power, since marriage instead of his wife getting slimmer, this is even more contained.

Seeing Annisa shaking, Shaka came down from the bed, stepping his feet out of the room. Annisa instantly twisted her body hearing Shaka out the door. Annisa looked at the door with a quiet look.

Soon, however, the door was opened from the outside. Annisa instantly flipped her body back to Shaka who entered back into the room.

"Let's sit down, I've brought the food here" said Shaka put the food box he was carrying on the nightstand.

Annisa instead pulled out the blanket and covered her entire body. Although her stomach was hungry, Annisa had already hurt Shaka.

Seeing that, Shaka climbed up onto the tapered place, laid his body beside Annisa and hugged her body.

"I'm sorry" said Shaka pulling the blanket over Annisa's head. Annisa held the blanket down."I love you too much, Annisa. Until I was so scared of losing you. I'm sorry."

Shaka was angry, disappointed, hurt, humiliated and betrayed. Although he had tried to calm himself in the room, but it did not manage to treat his heart. So Shaka chose to go outside to get some fresh air. After a long contemplation, Shaka finally got a speck of bright light in his heart, after getting a single whisper of the sentence from his smallest heart.

' Imagine if you lose it, are you ready?.'

After imagining that Annisa's gone from her life. It turns out that Shaka is not willing if the sweet girl belongs to another man. Annisa's hers, just hers.

Inside the blanket, Annisa cries back to hear Shaka loves her very much. That's not what Annisa wants to hear. Annisa wants Shaka to believe her, Shaka is on her side, Shaka supports her, Shaka defends her. Not even to corner him and hurt his heart.

Something Shaka forgot. Didn't she never care if Annisa didn't love her. What matters to him, Annisa belongs to him. Love will follow later. But why after he got the love of an Annisa, instead he did not believe in the love of the girl?.

"I'm sorry for my anger, I'm jealous" Shaka said.
