The Light in My Darkness

" A.. salamu'alaikum!" greet Fatma.
" Da'alaikumsalam!" replied Brian softly.
" What's up?" tanya Fatma with heart deg-degan.
" How are you?" ask Brian.
" Thank God be good!" answer Fatma.
" Good!" reply Brian.
-- Silent ---
" I'll work again!" said Brian.
" Yes!" reply Fatma.
" Asalamu'alaikum!" pamit Brian's.
" Can you have lunch at home?" ask Fatma quickly.
" What? I..yes! I can!" brian was surprised.
" All right! Alaikumsalam!" word
Fatma quickly closes the call from Brian. His chest skipped a beat faster as he ended his conversation with Brian. He's feeling very nervous. What's with me? Isn't he my husband? But we could have...Athaghfirullah! Nah! Nah! I have to be sure if he can keep his promise! batin Fatma riled. Brian was across there smiling to himself as he imagined this moment that his wife must look very adorable. He got out of his chair and would walk out of the room.
" I go home first, you handle everything!" brian said to Danis who was sitting on the sofa of his room. And then he goes with the flowery feeling, is this how it feels to fall in love? inner Brian. He never expected that he would experience this ridiculous thing, the thing he always ridiculed if his friends said about love. The thing he stayed away from the most was that he did not want to bend his knees under a woman's feet. Now he was exposed to his karma, because he was willing to kneel for Fatma and lower his pride for Fatma.
Danis could only stare at her boss smiling to herself and leaving without her. Danis could hardly believe the change after change that happened to her boss.
While Nabil has started to occupy his office in Singapore. He felt completely deceived by that Boss of his. He hears from his friend who is Fatma's cousin's best friend if Fatma has married the series to Brian.
" Lo is really great! But I'm not the Nabil I used to be, if you can ruin my relationship with Fatma, then I can do that too!" nabil is ambiguous.
Nabil then began to establish a close relationship with Brian who was in Singapore to pry all the bad sides of Brian.
Brian had reached Fatma's house, he was tidying up his clothes and face. Handsome! his mind proudly when he saw the appearance of himself reflected by the glass of the car.
" Asalamu'alaikum!" greetings Brian when he arrives at the door.
" Da'alaikumsalam!" sahut Ummi, Rania and Fatma are in the dining room.
" Look, Sri!" salma said to Sri who was carrying vegetables.
" Yes, Ummi!" answer Sri.
Then Sri put the vegetables on the dining table and padded to the main door .
" Young Master! Please enter!" Sri said.
The smile on Brian's face was gone when what he saw was not his heavenly Angel.
" Sir!" call Sri again who sees Brian still standing in his place.
" Ahem!" brian's reaction when he was daydreaming.
Brian walked into the dining room and smiled to see Fatma standing off her apron and tidying her khimar near the kitchen table. Fatma was shocked as she turned her body and saw her husband standing looking at her.
" Ummi! Brother Rania!" greet Brian.
They smiled and nodded their heads.
" You..have come?" ask Fatma.
" you?" Azzam who heard her frown.
" Yes!" brian answered with a racing heart.
My wife is beautiful! brian's mind at a glance saw Fatma's face earlier.
Like Brian, Fatma's heart also suddenly beat fast.
" Deck! Why do you want to be with your own husband?" asked Azzam who was neat with cocoa clothes and scabbard.
" E. it....anu..."
" Zahirah is not used to me yet, Bi!" cut Brian to Fatma's defense.
" Don't get used to it, Deck! You must learn to get used to each other!" Azzam.
" Yes, Bi!" sahut Fatma's.
Fatma approached Brian and took his right hand to kiss him. Brian was again surprised like this morning when Fatma did the same thing. Fatma made her heart beat even faster. She held her chest involuntarily, but because Fatma lowered her face so she did not see Brian's behavior.
" Let's go to Mushalla while we wait for Adzan!" bring Azzam.
" Yes, Bi!" brian and Fatma.
Salma and Rania overtake Azzam who runs to the mosque. Fatma would walk when Brian said something.
" I want to get something in the car!" brian said, forgetting his stuff.
" Yes!" answer Fatma.
Brian twisted his body and walked towards the exit of the house. Fatma followed her husband.
" You're here!" brian said as he saw Fatma would follow him to the car.
" Yes!" answer Fatma.
Brian walked up to his parked car not far from the door. Daringly Fatma raised her face looking at the back of her husband. Yes, God! He was indeed taller and bigger compared to Daffa, let alone Bang Arkan! inner Fatma. Through the reflection of the windshield of his car, Brian could see if Fatma was looking at him. Opening the back door of his car, he took a bouquet of flowers and a goodybag from the car seat. He closed the car door and walked again towards the main door. Fatma lowered her face again when she saw Brian twisting his body earlier.
" This is for you!" brian gave me a bouquet of white roses.
Fatma was surprised to see Brian giving, then she accepted and reflexively smelled the fragrant aroma that the flower gave off.
" Thank you!" fatma was happy.
" Come!" take Brian.
Fatma nodded her head and walked to her room.
" I'm gonna take a shower!" brian said when he got to Fatma's room.
Aye!" answer Fatma.
Brian put his goodybag on Fatma's bed. Let go of the suit and tie while Fatma took a towel that was dried near the window. After folding the sleeves of the shirt and taking off his shoes, Brian received a towel that Fatma gave him. Brian went into the bathroom and Fatma came out of the room to get some drinking water. Brian came out with a towel, because he was sure that his wife was not in the room. The goodybag and its contents were taken out. A Koko Dress is white and a blue holster and a blue prayer mat are also. He wears these clothes and gloves.
Fatma was stunned when she saw her husband standing in front of the glass. By Allah! May the inside be the same! inner Fatma. Fatma's point is hopefully Brian's personality is as good as his face.
" Are you ready?" tanya Fatma looked down.
" It's!" answer Brian.
" I'll just change clothes!" fatma said take a change of clothes and wear them in the bathroom.
They walked to Mushalla.
" Asalamu'alaikum!" greet them to all who are there.
" Da'alaikumsalam!" answer everything.
Azzam continued chanting the holy verses of the Qur'an and all including Brian listened carefully, for some reason his heart felt peaceful and calm at that moment. Is this the effect of this book? inner Brian. After Azzam finished reading the Qur'an, the dzuhur adhan reverberated in the residential mosque.
" Abi's the same Brian is going to the mosque first!" Azzam.
" Yes, Bi!" answer Salma, Rania and Fatma together.
Abi and Brian got up from his seat and gave his greetings.
" Asalamu'alaikum!" greetings to both.
" Da'alaikumsalam!" answer all three.
After their dzuhur prayer and lunch together, Fatma took rice for her husband after Salma took it for Azzam.
" I'm sorry that the food here is not the same as in your house!" said Abi.
" It's okay, Bi! It looks good too!" replied Brian who felt strange to see the cuisine at the dining table.
" What side dishes do you want?" ask Fatma. Brian stared at the side dish that was on the table. There is tilapia, fried egg tofu, jackfruit vegetable and sambal plow. All new to Brian, he didn't know if it would fit his tongue.
" It's up to you! I'll eat whatever you get!" finally Brian answered.
