Dusk At the End Please
Extra Part 10: Setting the Future

"Darling, you really don't remember who he is?" akhtar asked after they reached the mother's courtyard.

"No A, I don't remember at all. Even if we were one school I think because many students might make me forget. Moreover, we never met after finishing High School, he said that, right?" shanum replied it made sense.

"Seriously you don't remember? but earlier he mentioned a myriad of your achievements eloquently you know Yang" Akhtar was still trying to mention the facts of what he discovered a moment ago with a face that was still less friendly.

"Aa, my High School days were beautiful because I busied myself to achieve those achievements without anything else being my priority, especially about romance because in my heart has been neatly engraved a name since I first knew love"

"Even if he's ever been in my life, it's the past and the past we can never go back. My priority right now is to set the future, and Aa is my future. With you I will live a better life towards a more wonderful time"

"Do you know why God created our eyes in front?" Akhtar shook his head to look at the woman who is now his wife and is pregnant with her child.

"Because God tells us to look at the time we are going to be ahead of, which is our future. Sometimes we can look back to make sure there may be lessons we can take to organize the future"

Shanum's answer successfully made a smile rise on Akhtar's lips. His face started to return with a smile that made him look even more handsome.

"Well that's dong, smile, it's getting handsome" Shanum's claw teased her husband.

"You well, it's always easy to make my heart flower again" Akhtar replied no less romantic, he even floated a kiss on Shanum's cheek which is currently side by side with him.

"Eheumm" Deheman Bu Fatimah successfully stopped Akhtar's actions who were still trying to tempt Shanum by wanting to kiss him.

"Mother" Akhtar became misbehaved because it turned out that the mother had stood not far from their seat.

"What's? want to ask since when you're standing here?" ask Fatimah by smiling.

"Hehe...when did you stand there?" ask Akhtar curiously.

"Since you entered the gate of the house, arguing, romanticized with words and until you aggressively kissed your wife, do not know the place" said Bu Fatimah at length to make Akhtar more misbehavior, likewise Shanum who looks increasingly blushed his face because of shame discovered by the in-laws.

"Pardon us, ma'am" said Shanum Lirih made Akhtar turn his eyes towards his wife.

"Darling why I'm sorry, you're just kidding me, aren't you?" Akhtar held Shanum in his arms.

Ms. Fatimah who saw the reaction of her favorite daughter-in-law like that became shocked herself.

"Darling, I'm sorry I didn't mean to ban it. Instead, I am happy to see your romance. I'm happy to see you guys like this" Fatimah explained. Ms. Fatimah approached and turned to clutch Shanum's shoulder.

"I know Mom, I just want Mom to get mad at Aa aja, she just likes to like her own likes not to know the place hehe.." Shanum replied with a ruckus.

"Oh, is that it?" sahut Bu Fatimah

"But you like it, don't you, baby?" Akhtar even more tightly wrapped his arms around Shanum's neck, preparing to shower Shanum's face with a kiss.

"Aa.." cried Shanum kept trying to dodge.

"If the problem itself cannot prevent Neng, it seems that the drops of his father are all spilling over to your husband" explained Ms Fatimah

"I mean mother?" shanum asked curiously, Akhtar also slowly loosened his embrace attracted by the mother's answer.

"After marriage, your husband's father is a romantic man who is like a new mother. He never showed any interest in his mother or other women. Random, flat talkative but after marriage she turns one hundred and eighty degrees into a romantic, caring and understanding husband"

"He does not hesitate to show love, affection and attention anywhere and under any circumstances to the mother. No matter who it was, in her eyes it seemed like it was only the mother she saw. Maybe that's what caused Sopia to become so jealous that she became obsessed with having your husband's father"

Ms. Fatimah said all of that with sparkling eyes, but the twinkle of the eye turned into a wist when the last sentence she said. Ms. Fatimah threw out her rough breathing as if throwing away something she did not want to have in her mind.

Shanum listened well to what his mother-in-law had said. She understood why to this day her mother-in-law preferred to live alone. It seemed that the name of his father-in-law was still the king of his heart.

Unlike Shanum, hearing the words of Akhtar's mother was thinking this is the time he told the truth about his father's current state or.....

"Mom, there's something I want to say about dad" Akhtar said carefully, he didn't want the mother to feel any discomfort from this talk.

Fatimah and Shanum turned to look at him, waiting for the continuation of the story that Akhtar will tell.

"Can, Mom?" tanya Akhtar made sure to go back and was answered with a nod of the head by Bu Fatimah.

Akhtar also told me all about his father based on the information he received from his father directly as well as from Ahsan and Ghifar whom he had asked to keep an eye on his condition. Akhtar also said that Yasmin is currently in search because she is trying to find her own biological father. He is devastated to learn that he is not the son of Akhtar's father.

Akhtar said that his father is currently waiting for the results of DNA tests with their second daughter Naura. Mr. Furqan just wants to ascertain the extent of the betrayal committed by Ms. Sopia. While Ms. Sopia is currently in the hospital, she had to be treated for several days ago when she was found unconscious by one of her domestic assistants. It's been almost a year that Mr. Furqan and Ms. Sopia have split the house.

Fatimah was shocked to hear this fact, even Shanum was no less shocked to hear what her husband had just said. She didn't expect Miss Sopia to be able to do any of that.

The atmosphere was silent, the three of them were engrossed with their respective thoughts. Akhtar and Shanum looked at each other, waiting for the reaction of the fatimah maam who was still silent with a glaring gaze. I don't know what he's thinking.

"Mom" Shanum approached her mother-in-law, she hugged Fatimah's shoulder trying to provide support.

"That's your father's business. I know enough, between your mother and father there is no relationship anymore unless it concerns you. If you want to help your father solve his problems, help because that's your duty as his son. Mom's focus right now is to set the future, at this late mother's age I want to be happy and have good memories with you. Mother's children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. May God still give you time to feel it all" Fatimah said wisely, she has indeed passed all her pain and disappointment to her ex-husband and ex-best friend.

"I knew my mother was a great woman" Akhtar moved from her seat, approaching two women who were embracing each other. Shanum understood, he broke down his embrace and made room for his husband and mother-in-law.

Akhtar embraced the mother so tightly, reciprocated by Bu Fatimah no less tightly. Shanum was happy to see her, her husband loved her mother so much. Pride rippled through his chest, having a man who loved him very much and also loved his mother very much.

"Thank you son, you were the source of the mother's spirit and happiness" Fatimah said softly in the arms of the son.

Slowly Akhtar broke his embrace, he turned to the wife who was sitting not far from them hugging.

"Honey" Akhtar called Shanum gently

"Yes?" shanum replied with a smile fixed on his lips was also happy with the closeness of the mother and child.

"Come here!" Shanum also stood up slowly, considering that his stomach had stepped on nine months made it somewhat difficult when he was about to stand or sit.

"You are also the great woman I have" Akhtar opened his left arm codifying Shanum to embrace her and happily sprinkled into her husband's arms.

Derrtt....

The vibration of the device in Shanum's cardigan pocket blew it all away. Fatimah took off her arms.

"Thank you, you are the mother's most precious treasure" said Ms. Fatimah full of joy, and was replied with a nod and a happy smile by Akhtar and Shanum, do not forget the prospective grandmother also said the stomach of the son-in-law and kissed him.

"Thank God, it looks like someone called you Neng, mother will prepare food for us" said Ms Fatimah as she passed to the kitchen.

Shanum reached into his cardiagan pocket, he saw three missed calls from his best friend Liani.

"Who's dear?" Akhtar guided Shanum to a comfortable seat, Shanum said.

"Liani A, there are three incoming calls from Liani" Shanum replied momentarily shifting his gaze from his screen, staring at the husband and answering his question.

"Then try to call again, who knows there is important" suggested Akhtar and answered a nod of the head by Shanum.

"Assalamu'alaikum" after the third call just now his call to Liani is connected.

"wa'alaikumsalam, Neng" Liani replied on the phone.

"I'm sorry I was talking to mom, I happen to be at my mom's house"

"Mother?..." Liani paused her speech as it was directly answered by Shanum.

"Mother Fatimah, yesterday we deliberately came here and nginep here" Shanum explained.

"How are you?" Shanum switched the conversation he changed his sitting position to lean to make it more comfortable. Akhtar the husband standby certainly did not let him just from inside the room take a pillow so that the wife can lean comfortably.

"Thank you, baby!" shanum said softly after Akhtar helped her lean comfortably.

"I'm not okay Num, there are a lot of things I want to tell you but not over the phone. Right now there's something I need to finish first in the foundation and once this is done I'll come to your place soon. The point is, I gave up Num. From now on I will set my own future" Liani said in an unusual tone of voice, Shanum knew something must have happened to her best friend. Whatever it is Shanum hopes Liani can get through it well.

Late in the evening, Akhtar and Shanum were still at the house of Ms Fatimah. They both agreed that at dawn they would return to the city to start activities.

As usual the rurinitas before going to bed were both listening sessions. Akhtar is more often a listener. He is happy to always provide two ears to listen to the daily life that has been passed by the wife, and vice versa.

"Honey, Ghifar called" This time Akhtar who started the conversation before going to bed. Ms. Fatimah had already entered her room to rest after they had eaten dinner and spent time together in the living room.

"Why Ghifar A?" shanum asked enthusiastically.

"She asked permission to approach your sister-in-law Hasna" Akhtar replied to the point making Shanum stunned by the information that her husband had just delivered.

"meaning?" Shanum asked again for an explanation of the husband's statement.

"Hasna already has A's fiancee, Bima" Shanum continued.

"Heumm, Ghifar says he's not a good man . Many negative things that Bima did behind Hasna, Ghifar did not want Hasna to just be a victim. Moreover, girls like Hasna are easy prey for Bima" explained Akhtar according to the news he received from his friend and assistant.

"Well, what is Mas Ghifar going to do now? want to take Hasna from Bima? or ...." Shanum's question paused because the husband first explained Ghifar's true intentions.

"Ghifar just wants to take care of Hasna, as someone close to us he cares for your sister-in-law. Even if in the end Hasna and Bima still mate no problem for him. He said he only asked for permission to maximize his efforts to achieve the future in accordance with his expectations without exceeding the clear limits of the provisions" Shanum only understood with the explanation of the husband.

"That's it, don't think of anyone else. Now we better get ready" Akhtar exclaimed

"Watch up for what?" shanum asked who did not understand the code of the husband.

"Say get ready for debay if Yanda wants to see him" Akhtar replied with a slanted smile.

The long night of two people who were filled with happiness had just begun.
