My Little Wife Fatimah's
11. Destruction of Hope

In the end, Fatimah had to go with her husband Rahman.

Fatimah was cold to Rahman in the car.

"Darling... What do you want to talk about, it seems important?" rahman asked, glancing at his wife.

"You don't need to know brother, oh yes, in our marriage I have some rules that you can't break, first don't ever touch me like a husband to a wife, second, no, don't stop me from meeting my friends, third, don't touch my things at home" Fatimah stared at Rahman.

"You know Fatimah, this marriage was performed as a worship, following the Sunnah of the Prophet and witnessed by Allah, do you dare to play tricks on him?" rahman said slowly but sharply.

Fatimah was silent.

Shortly afterwards, from the glass of Fatimah's car accidentally saw Rahman parked the motorbike in front of the pharmacy. "Sister. stop first, I'm down here, too" said Fatimah as she stared at the glass.

Rahman stopped the car. "What do you want to do with Fatimah?, when you stop in front of the pharmacy, you are sick?" rahman asked, looking at his wife's strange behavior. Fatimah did not listen to Rahman's words anymore, she hurried out and met Fatih before Fatih went into the Pharmacy.

"Fatih.." call Fatimah while her eyes glaze over.

"Fatimah..What are you doing here?" ask Fatih slowly who also endured the sadness while staring at the woman he harbored love for her all this time.

"I want to talk to you Fatih, just for a minute, please," the Fatimah's pinta looked at Fatih.

"But what does your husband allow?" tanya Fatih looked at Rahman who was in the car monitoring Fatimah.

"Fatih, I have to tell you, if I don't not hold a commitment, but I have to, if you were in Indonesia and hurriedly proposed to me, we would still have hope," fatimah said with her eyes glazed.

"Already Fatimah, this is the way from God, go to your husband, he must have been waiting for you in the car, do not think about us anymore, obey your husband Fatimah, be obedient to your husband, don't ever see me again, don't hurt your husband, your heaven is on him" said Fatih, whose eyes began to tear.

"But Fatih.I beg you to wait for me, one day I will ask for a divorce from him so that later we can get married according to our Promise," said Fatimah while wiping her tears.

"Astaghfirullah Fatimah, don't say that again, God hates divorce, please respect your husband, don't be disobedient to him" Fatih continued staring at Fatimah.

"Why are you thinking more about her feelings than me? as long as you know Fatih, I never thought to be able to love him, I am his sister, I will not be able to think of him as a husband," said Fatimah slowly but sharply.

"There's nothing wrong with Fatimah, she's not your older sister, is she?, is not a couple, don't worry, there's no law against your marriage" Fatih said in tears.

"My heart is against Fatih's, I can't love the person I consider a big brother, please understand Fatih, love me the chance to continue our commitment later," said Fatimah with a higher tone while her tears did not stop pouring out.

"How many times do I have to explain to you to understand, you've become his wife, don't see me just to talk less important, think about your husband's feelings, see your husband, see your husband, he watched you from the car, he must have held back Fatimah's jealousy" Fatih said, pointing to Rahman in the car.

Fatimah stared at the car, looking at Rahman who kept paying attention to her.

"Is there no other woman in your life, Fatih?" Fatimah cried looking at Fatih.

"Whether or not it doesn't matter to you Fatimah, focus on being a good wife to your husband, never approach what God hates, which is divorce, stay by your husband's side," Fatih looked at Fatimah and left her.

"Trainer.." Fatimah cried watching the footsteps of Fatih who left her in front of the pharmacy.

Rahman who saw Fatimah's cry hurriedly got out of the car and met Fatimah.

Rahman embraced Fatimah and said, "Fatimah, this is the best way of God, Fatih is a good man, but I am the one destined for you, I promised God that I would take care of you under any circumstances,"

Fatimah removed herself from Rahman's arms. "No need to make any pleasantries, I know you planned this from the beginning, you seem to write a scenario to separate me from Fatih, don't pretend to be stupid as if you are innocent, this marriage is your own plan" Fatimah said sharply.

"Istighfar Fatimah, I'm your husband" Rahman looked at Fatimah.

That night, after praying Isya Fatimah taught in her room. Rahman who had just returned from the mosque heard that and felt amazed at his wife, although at this time Fatimah could not accept Rahman wholeheartedly as her husband.

***

After teaching Fatimah out of her room to get drinking water. "Let's eat dear, bi Siti already prepared breakfast," said Rahman who met Fatimah in the kitchen.

Fatimah just kept quiet and headed for the dining room.

Rahman and Fatimah dined together in the living room despite the not-so-good atmosphere.

"I want to go to college while I work, I happen to offer Lilis to study at one university, she only has two days in one Sunday, four days I use to work, she said, the rest of Sunday is for me to rest" Fatimah said without looking at Rahman.

"Darling, don't be tired of work, there is still me who meets all your needs, with you working then I'm like an irresponsible husband, right, though I am very willing to finance your college, even if it is in an expensive campus," Rahman said staring at his wife.

"I must concern myself to forget my problems, after all I do not need your money for my college, because you are the destroyer of my hopes," said Fatimah slowly but sharply.

"Can you honor my order Fatimah, I am your husband" Rahman told Fatimah.

Fatimah did not care about that, she just stared at her food while engrossed in eating.

"Without your permission, I will work" said Fatimah.

"Well, you can work, but you work at our White Horse hotel, so I can take care of you, your job is enough to serve me there, like making sure I eat, help my needs and take care of my health like an Assistant, but this is different you will not do heavy work" explained Rahman at length.
