The Light in My Darkness
37

Azzam recalled the time when Brian said he was smart and clever. It is absolutely evident now, everything that is said to have been proven

Abi!" call Brian as they sit in the park near the compound, they're doing morning exercise.

" Yes?" sahut Azzam's.

" Is my religious science not enough to marry Zahirah?" ask Brian.

Azzam looked at his daughter-in-law with a frown.

" why? Are you so eager to marry Fatma?" abi Fatma asked a little disappointed.

" I..."

" Do you really want to touch her?" ask Abi fulgar.

" I'm sorry, Bi! Not that I want to break a promise, but I'm a normal guy, Bi! I can put up with other women, but with Abi's daughter, I can't!" answer Brian honestly.

Azzam did not blame Brian, they were newlyweds and had to endure his passion for his wife, as a normal man it must have been excruciating.

" Do you really want to legally marry Fatma?" ask Abi.

" Yes, Abi!" answer Brian.

" why? Give reasons!" said Abi.

" For I love him and.all because of my worship of Allah SWT, Bi!" answer Brian.

" Thank God! If you understand why a Muslim gets married! But I'll leave it all to Fatma!" said Abi.

" He would not agree!" said Brian.

" Where do you know?" ask Abi.

" Because he won't break his promise!" answer Brian.

You know enough about your wife! the Inner Abi Fatma.

" Abi says you still need to learn a lot!" Azzam.

" But I got a B from my Istadz, Bi!" said Brian.

Azzam sees Brian's phone containing his grades during his studies.

" All right! Abi knows if you can learn anything quickly!" said his in-laws again.

" Thank you!" brian said passionately.

" Abi will give you the blessing to marry on the civil record if Fatma approves!" abi Fatma said firmly.

" Thank you, Abi! I'll talk to him!" said Brian kissed Abi Fatma's hand with a very happy heart.

" When will your family plan come?" ask Abi.

" Mama just got out of the hospital, about next week I will bring delivery and immediately marry Fatma if she agrees!" brian said while giving Abi Fatma mineral water.

" Abi has to talk about this with the family first!" abi Fatma.

" Abi doesn't have to bother preparing everything, because I will prepare it!" obviously Brian.

Azzam breathed a long breath, he was actually not good with all the help Brian gave, should be the woman who held a party.

" Take your point after Fatma approves!" Azzam.

" Okay, Bi!" answer Brian.

Azzam who occasionally looked around, felt that his daughter-in-law was the subject of a women's spectacle because of her near-perfect face and body. You have to be strong and have a lot of patience, son! inner Azzam. She thought of Fatma who would get a lot of trials because her husband was almost perfect in the eyes of women.

" We're home, it's getting hot!" Azzam.

" Yes, Bi!" answer Brian.

Then the two left the place with a small run.

Breakfast that morning served the egg fried rice menu with orange juz as a drink. All family members are present for breakfast after their activities in the morning. Brian went to take a shower after a morning workout with Azzam at the Park, then headed straight to the dining room after getting dressed. They enjoy breakfast quietly, then move to the living room as usual to just talk during work holidays. Brian didn't come with them, he chose to go back into the room.

" Sister didn't come to the middle room?" ask Fatma.

" I want to talk to you for a minute!" said Brian.

Fatma's heart beat fast hearing Brian's words. What does he want to talk about? inner Fatma. Brian sat in the study chair of Fatma and Fatma sat on the edge of his bed with their bodies facing each other.

" I want to.we're officially married!" brian said carefully. Fatma looks surprised to hear Brian's request.

" But why? The deadline is still 3 weeks!" fatma.

" I'll talk to Abi!" fatma said, then she stood up from her seat.

" I've spoken to Abi!" said Brian.

" What? When?" tanya Fatmadin's tone of dislike.

" So early morning!" brian replied slowly, he knew that his wife did not seem to like his actions.

" Sister should talk to me first! I'm like a fool!" fatma said before, she felt that Brian was setting her up.

" Sorry! I didn't mean to make you like that!" brian said sadly.

" Is that condition so heavy for you?" tanya Fatma was suspicious.

" I just don't ..."

" It's okay?" fatma asked in surprise because Brian stopped his words.

" Once, if you don't want to, I won't force you!" brian was disappointed.

" Of course you can't force me!" sahut Fatma is upset.

Brian thinks that Fatma doesn't love him yet or even like him. Should I be more patient? Is..ahhh! What's with me? Why can't I survive near you? inner Brian was angry.

Is he angry? It's his own fault, authoritarian! inner Fatma. I'm not ready to accept you, especially after what I know today! batin Fatma sad.

The Flashback

Fatma was going to the market with Salma and Sri after saying goodbye to her husband who was about to go to work out. They buy meat and vegetables as well as fruit for the next 3 days. While they were enjoying a drink of young coconut ice in their usual place to drink, there was a call coming into Fatma's cell phone. Nabil? Fatma is confused between accepting or rejecting.

" Who, son?" ask Salma.

" But Nabil, mi!" fatma replied lazily.

" lift! Even though he hurt you once, but don't let your divine rope break!" Salma.

Fatma nodded her head. He shifted the green color of the phone.

" Hello, Assalamu'alaikum!" greet Fatma.

" Wa'alaikumsalam! Fatmas!" reply Nabil.

" What's up, brother?" ask Fatma lazy.

" You how are you?" ask Nabil back.

" Thank God be good!" answer Fatma.

" I've been wanting to call you for a few days, but I'm embarrassed!" nabil said casually.

Fatma was silent at Nabil's words.

" I want to apologize, Fatma! I really have lost my way!"

" I've forgiven you, brother!" fatma.

" If time could be repeated, Fatma! I don't want to work at Brian's company that jerk!" nabil said in an angry tone.

Fatma only sighed to hear Nabil's curse.

" Istighfar, Brother!" fatma Tegur.

" Athaghfirullahaladzim! He made me like this, Fatma! If only that night he hadn't forced me to drink.ah! Never mind, it's all happening!" nabil says dramatize.

" You are patient, yes, Brother! God has other plans!" reply Fatma.

" Yes, Fat! I just realized that he's not a real man, Fat!" Nabil.

" Does you mean brother?" Fatma was curious about Nabil's words.

" Brian it is! She loves one night stands and almost every night!" Nabil.

" One night..."

" Yes! Every night with women!" nabil explained.

Fatma was surprised to hear Nabil's words, her heart ached to hear all that while Nabil smiled widely, because he knew Fatma very well.

" Where did you know?" ask Fatma sadly.

" Sister Zidan's friend is her relationship, yesterday I met him and he talked about who Brian is! He said Brian was a female conqueror and he was never with the same woman every night!" nabil's Story.
