The Light in My Darkness

Fatma was silent at their conversation. Is he really that handsome? inner Fatma, because she never dared to look at any man.

" God!" call Azzam.

" Yes, Bi?" sahut Fatma's.

" If your husband comes home, tell him the rules of this house!" Azzam.

" Yes, Abi!" answer Fatma.

They returned to their rooms and changed clothes to perform shaat dzuhur in mushalla.

" fatma!" greet his cousin, Nadira after they finished praying dzuhur. Herni went into Fatma's room and slept in Fatma's bed.

" Yes, Nad?" replied Fatma who was sitting in her study chair.

" Where do you know your husband?" nadira asked curiously.

" Why is that?" tanya Fatma frowned her forehead.

" I know I'm a guy who often hangs out with you just Brother Nabil! And I thought you were gonna marry her, but it wasn't!" Nadira.

" We never know who we're going to be with!" fatma replied sadly, as she had never imagined she would marry another man other than Nabil, her brother's friend since childhood.

" Yes too, anyway! But he knows so well! Who was that like? Which artist from Turkey?" said Nadira.

" I don't know! I've never seen a drama!" answer Fatma.

" Ah, you're Fatma! No assiikkk! It's drama, really top trending!" nadira was very excited.

Fatma grabbed both of her shoulders.

" Aaa, yes, Can Yemen!" shouting Nadira.

" Shhtt! Keep your voice down, Nad! Abi and Ummi are on a break!" fatma said as she placed her index finger in front of her lips.

" Yes, sorry!" nadira said, then she opened her phone.

" Look!" nadira said while showing a photo of Can Yemen on Fatma.

Fatma was shocked by the existence of Nadira who suddenly stood next to her with a cellphone faced to her face. Fatma saw a photo of Can Yemen. Subhannallah! Really Handsome! Is he really that handsome? inner Fatma smiled.

" Cieeeee! your face is red!" Nadira Goda.

" What'an, anyway!" fatma said shame.

" It's also very...."

" Athaghfirullah, Nadira! Why do you see photos like that?" fatma covered her face with both hands.

He was shocked when he saw the second photo, which was when Can Yemen was bare-chested with her body shaped like a v-shape and her stomach that was like a torn bread.

" Haha! But you saw it too, right?" Nadira laughed, looking at the attitude of his cousin.

" Good, Fat! Don't tell me you've never seen a man bare-chested?" nadira asked in disbelief.

" It never is!" fatma answered while stroking her chest.

" OMG, Fat! What era were you born in? Later in the night you will definitely get a live show!" nadira said seductively.

" sthat mean?" tanya Fatma did not understand.

" OMG! I'm actually my cousin. Pantes aja Si Can Yemen termehek-mehek same you! It turns out you really are plain!" nadira gemes.

" I don't know, Nad!" fatma said again.

" Denger, yes, my innocent cousin is not stooped! Later malem lu..aaaaaaa!" shouting Nadira.

" Come, out! Don't bother Fatma. Don't equate him with you!" said Nadira's mother, Aisyah.

" Mama what'an anyway? Sick tau!" nadira's whinek who rubbed his ears because of Aisyah.

" Let it! You're talking indecently with that innocent Fatma!" said Aisyah annoyed.

" Fatma must be introduced to the outside world, ma! Let me not go!" nadira told Aisyah.

" Mommy doesn't want Fatma to be contaminated with your current relationship!" answer Aisyah firmly.

" What's wrong with Nadira?" nadira asked Aisyah.

" Obviously wrong! You play, not the same girl, but you also invite a guy. And Fatma? How dare he walk with a man who is not his muhrim? Just look at him not daring!" said Aisyah who was anxious with her eldest daughter.

Nadira gawked at her mother's words. Nadira did live in Singapore and studied there, because it was Muslim, but Nadira was not as big as Fatma. Papa Nadira, Aisyah's husband is a democratic Muslim, she frees her children to do as they please but with certain restrictions. Nadira's mother Aisyah is the younger sister of Salma, who has lived in Singapore with her family since marrying her Singaporean husband.

" Truly a rare girl lo Fat!" nadira said again.

" It's not rare! But the real Islam is like that!" answer Aisyah.

" Lagian mama..ngak senonoh indecent, emang Nadira ngajarin what?" Nadira Protest.

They left Fatma alone. Fatma just shook her head looking at her cousin's funny behavior.

Is he really like the man in the picture? Athaghfirullah! What the hell am I thinking? inner Fatma felt guilty for comparing her husband to another man.

Meanwhile Brian who had reached the hospital immediately rushed to his mother's nursery.

" Mommy!" greet Brian to his mother. My mother smiled to see her favorite child.

" Mommy's son!" call Iris.

" Mom! Don't be like this anymore! If you're going anywhere, call Bre or PRT!" brian said with teary eyes.

" Mommy's sorry! Mommy already made you and everyone worried!" answer Iris

" Brother! I'll go find food!" briana.

" Yes!" answer Brian.

" Aren't you eating, Ian?" ask Brisa, her sister.

" Already! Go with Bre!" said Brian. Brisa and Briana came out of Iris's room.

" Do you look different?" mother said.

" Yes!" brian was a little nervous.

" What's up, baby?" asked Iris scrunched her forehead.

" I want to say something, but mommy promises to be strong, not surprised!" said Brian

" Mommy promise! Mommy's better!" said Iris sure.

" I'm.I'm married!" said Brian.

" What?" asked her mother in shock, but she could still manage her heart.

Brian pulled out his phone and opened it, a picture of him and Fatma kissing his hand.

" I'm sorry, Mom! Not bringing our family. Because there was an unexpected event!" said Brian.

" You better tell your daddy first!" said Iris.

" This, mom!" said Brian.

His mother saw the photo Brian showed.

" Beautiful girl and..."

" Muslims! He's very good at worship, Mom!" said Brian.

" You love him, don't you!" said Iris.

" Yes, mom! Looks like I love her! I don't know why, but to me she's so special, mom!" said Brian.

" Mama's son is in love! Never hurt her, baby! You're really lucky to get him!" said Iris.

" Yes, ma! I will definitely make her happy!" brian hugged his mother.

" When mommy's healed, I'm our family coming to her house!" said Brian.

" Of course!" Iris answered happily.

" well! I love you, mom!" said Brian.

" I love you too, baby!" answer Iris. Brian came out of the room after Danis called him.

" Boss!" greet Brian.

" I'm married! Find me ustadz to teach me about Islam!" said Brian.

" Boss?" danis doesn't believe it.

" Over the month I'm gonna be a little busy out of the office, you handle all the office stuff!" said Brian again.

" Ready, Boss! But working with Hong and Norton?" ask Danis.

" You're handling it!" answer Brian.

" Boss?" ask Danis wonder.

Brian never represented anyone at meetings with Norton, because he was Brian's biggest and most important client. Even Brian once rented out a yacht to host Mr. Norton along with several photos of world models to accompany him.

" why? You can't afford it?" ask Brian.

" Capable, Boss! I'm just worried about Mr. Norton isn't satisfied if I go after him!" answer Danis.

" Say I'm busy! And do it as usual!" said Brian. Then Brian signed some of the documents that Danis had given him.
