Sensational Husband
One Hundred and Forty Seventy
“Your job is still a lot, Azlan. Guide your wife. Look, why did you let her untangle her hair in front of so many people. Isn't he muslim? It's aurat. And if you do not warn him, you also sin. And I see, Alexa is not a good woman. He's into the night out, dugem, drugs, and I don't know what else. Mother saw the news on social media about him.”
At first glance all the news about Alexa flash back in Azlan's memory. About Alexa who once hit the police and even angry at people who were hit, about Alexa who was caught because of drugs then went into rehab, and many other things.
Azlan forgot that his wife was exactly like a group flooded with followers and his story became a public attraction. How can the bundle be that queer, to the point of searching on social media about Alexa.
“Is that the woman you love? Is that the woman you defended so that it can make you renege on your own promise?” dinda continued with a heavy voice.
“I understand very well how Alexa, and I will take her to move slowly, gradually. Because it would be difficult to turn things around for a short time, because if I put it in the blink of an eye, it could be that he would not understand, but instead. Everything needs processing, Bun.”
“But yes, it has happened and you just hope you can make it better. Your duties are very much, Azlan.”
“Mother, trust me Alexa is a good woman. He just lacks compassion. There are many things that make it that way. He is trapped in his world not without reason. Although what she did was wrong, she was basically a good woman. I have always had a good relationship with God, I ask to be met with a good soul mate and of course it is God's choice. And now that God gave Alexa as my soul mate, then trust me she will be the woman God expects. And didn't Mother always ask God to unite me with a good woman, right? And now what God has united with me is Alexa. Do you not believe that this is God's will? This mother's disappointment arises only because the mother has not been able to move on from a daughter-in-law figure like Mecca. I admit Mekka is a noble woman, but that doesn't mean there is no better woman than her.”
Dinda smiled thinly. He touched Azlan's arm and rubbed it slowly. “You are an adult, you are sure you can choose what is good and what is bad.”
Azlan nodded.
“Yes already, we're ahead. Alexa must have been waiting,” invite Dinda then walk to the family room. Azlan.
Alexa was staring at the fish that was waving around in the aquarium when Azlan and his mother appeared. He looked at Dinda and smiled.
“Bun, Azlan and I are going home, we have work to do. Don't we hurry?” alexa said with a bright face.
The soft and maternal speech made Alexa feel touched, her heart somehow felt wet. He hugged and hugged Dinda.
Dinda who got a sudden hug also blinked and was half shocked.
“Still yes, Bun. My mother has received me well. True what Azlan said, mother is a warm figure. Thank you Mother has presented Azlan to me, she has given me a lot of bitter pills that if swallowed make me recover from pain. Mother, I love Mother.” Alexa tightens her arms. His eyes closed with a smile.
Azlan looked at Alexa with a faint smile. His heart was wet at that sight.
Dinda raised both her hands and returned Alexa's embrace. He smiled and said, “Iya. Mother advised, be a good wife, yes!”
Alexa nodded in Dinda's arms. Then he let go of the embrace, turned his back and looked at Dinda with sparkling eyes.
“I'm home, Bun,” says Alexa.
Dinda nodded with a smile.
