"Share Love" 1 Heart 2 Ayesha

Chapter 5

The short chat at the dinner table was enough to make Humairah's heart crumble dim, in a very short time Alif was able to overturn his feelings that were flowering because he fell in love with his own husband after marriage.

Humairah's chest was tight, like a big stone and even more painful when Alif clasped his hands with a serious face.

"Mas"

"I'm sorry Humairah, I married you because of your parents. I don't want to hurt you but I deserve to be happy with the people I love"

Humairah was still silent, he did not know what he was going to say, to just breathe Humairah felt the current distress.

"Think of what I said earlier, I beg you Humairah, I will be very grateful for your permission I can marry her whom my mother has opposed all this time"

Again Humairah answered with a long breath that he was hard to believe Alif's confession this morning.

"I left first, you can take a taxi" Alif said, breaking the silence between them, the man standing from the dining table chair to his room to prepare for the office.

Humairah was still sitting where he was sitting at the moment, trying to neutralize his feelings like being hit by thousands of arrows, knowing that Alif did not really accept their marriage.

*****

The Alif office.

Humairah walked shuddering, his mind went nowhere without realizing it had hit someone until he fell himself because he lost his balance.

"Miss, are you okay?" said the man whom Humairah hit immediately helped him stand up.

"I'm sorry sir, sorry I didn't mean it.... I'm not focused" Humairah replied, apologizing.

"Other times be careful, it doesn't matter that I'm okay" the man replied again.

"Thank you very much sir"

The brief meeting brought Humairah to another reality after he sat in the chair where he was doing his internship, he accidentally saw Alif talking to the man he had hit earlier, not only that man but there was also a short-haired beautiful woman with an elegant and expensive clothing style.

Long Humairah noticed the three of them standing not far from the room Alif was in. The woman's smile was unusual when looking at her husband, Humairah knew that.

"Whoi..... Daydreaming of the newlyweds," said Lola surprised Humairah.

At a glance, Humairah looked again at where her husband was, but no one was there.

"Why are you such a confused person Mairah? Do you have a problem?"

"No, I'm not feeling well" replied Humairah lethargic.

Lola stared at the strange look of her best friend, she wanted to ask more but she knew Humairah was married not all she had to know, this girl knew the limits of privacy of married women.

"Alright, let's show me an example of your thesis proposal that has been accepted, I want to quickly catch up with you dear so that we can graduate together"

Humairah smiled faintly, he opened his laptop to Lola.

"Lust, I saw Mr. Alif with a beautiful woman, they looked familiar"

"I've seen it"

"Are you not jealous?"

"He's the boss, isn't he used to be close to anyone including many women, so I'm not surprised, don't talk about it later anyone hears"

"I wonder why Mr. Alif is still hiding your marriage?" Lola thought by tapping her finger on Humairah's desk.

"Because I'm still an intern here, don't ask much questions, this is my proposal file you try to copy"

Lola finally nodded her head without continuing her thoughts about Humairah's husband.

Humairah completed her internship well today even though her heart was not fine. This black-hijab woman came home in a taxi like her husband ordered.

Until home, he opened a paper bag containing clothes sent by his mother-in-law Rika.

Humairah's smile expands, "Why does mom always send sexy clothes, it seems like mom really expect too much at this wedding, even though her son is not looking at me," Humairah muttered sadly.

He turned in front of the mirror while wearing a dress with a flowering motif without arms that only covered his body up to the thighs, displaying his tiny and beautiful body shape without gaps.

Humairah got a thought that wanted to attract the attention of her husband to thwart Alif's intention to marry his lover.

"Who would like to be pitted against Alif, I am beautiful and also attractive. Trying isn't wrong, knowing you're falling in my charms too"

Humairah muttered in front of the mirror, inexplicably she felt excited and challenged to take her husband's heart to look at her as a person.

The woman went out of the room, she went to the kitchen intending to cook dinner and make some cup cakes made of bananas, Humairah knew her husband's favorite food from her mother-in-law who lives far enough from where she lives with Alif now.

Waiting for Alif to come home is like waiting for rain from the sky during the dry season, so long for Humairah who has endured sleepiness.

His face brightened when he heard the sound of Alif's car coming, immediately Humairah greeted him lovingly making Alif feel surprised by his wife's attitude.

The man just according to Humairah who had prepared everything when he came home, Alif knew Humairah was attracting his attention.

"Mas Alif," said Humairah gave a kiss on the cheek when Alif was awake facing his laptop business.

This woman put her hands on Alif's neck from behind, along with staring at the laptop that was on.

"Humirah," said Alif felt sorry for the woman who always dressed up beautiful.

"Yes mas"

"I'm sorry about this morning"

"Can you not behave like this"

"What do you mean?"

Humairah let go of Alif and stood beside the man staring questioningly.

"I know you're grabbing my attention, I just don't want you to do anything in vain"

"What's? In vain? Mas, I'm your wife I just want to be normal if we're both I want you to like me too, I want us....."

Humairah's words were cut off when Alif stood up, "I'm sorry, you're a good woman you're beautiful again perfect, I just don't want you to expect me too much to undo the intention to marry Aisyah, know that I and Aisha have been preparing for the wedding for a long time."

Humairah's tears fell instantly upon hearing it, her heart as if it had stopped at this moment.

"What's? Have you been preparing for a wedding for a long time? What do you mean, um, do you want to say that you didn't give me your blessing until you thought that by marrying me at my mother's request you could marry with my permission?"

Alif nodded, he looked at Humairah with a deep gaze, really in his heart also did not intend to hurt Humairah but in that way then he and Aisyah thought to take advantage of the kindness and innocence of Humairah as the daughter-in-law of her mother's choice.

"You think I'm that stupid? I don't want to share my husband with another woman"

"Humirah, I'll be fair to you later"

Humairah did not answer, he just ran from Alif to his room, stunned he cried until Alif followed him to the room.

"I'm sorry Humor, I accepted this marriage but I'm sorry I couldn't give my heart to you"

"I'm sorry I can't either, it's too sudden for me even we're still called newlyweds, I still feel a dream right now"

"Rest, you must be tired of calming your heart, I'm sure you'll take all of this slowly, I really hope it's you Humairah, you're the savior of our relationship that should have been married, I just want to be the man in charge of what we've been doing"

Humairah looked at her husband.

"Yes Humairah, I can't leave it when everything I've got despite not being a husband and wife"

"What?"

Alif nodded, "We've slept together."

Humairah again gulped, this time he spoke no more words than to close his eyes trying not to die of hanging when he heard the painful confession to himself at this time.

"Mas"

"Huh..... I loved her, she was able to take my world away from my first love that I had lost"

"Don't say anything, I want to breathe for a moment give me a little time mas Alif, I just still feel bad to stand on foot, don't you add again with other facts that I don't want to know, I just want to know, I should have been able to think that a short matchup would end like this"

Alif hugged Humairah out of pity, but for Humairah Alif's attitude increasingly made him think the man was really persuading him at this time.

"What if I still can't?"

"I will still choose her, I've been fair to you Humairah, I accept you as a wife even though there is no love between us, you should also be fair to me to be happy with the person I love"

"You're really mean, Mr. Alif"

"I'm sorry"

"I can't mas, I'm not ready and probably won't be ready" Humairah's voice seemed to disappear swallowed by sobs.

"Do you prefer to end this marriage and humiliate our family? I beg Humairah, I need your help"

Humairah looked at Alif in disbelief.

"Enough Alif, give me some time to breathe"

Humairah sobbed with tears while taking a deep breath, Alif hugged him again pecked the top of his head repeatedly made Humairah increasingly intrigued to feel a deep pain with the attitude of Alif still treat him well like this.

******

Humairah returned to the office the next day, he still did not find the bright spot of the problem.

My sleepy eyes, Humairah even forgot her breakfast, she did not find her husband coming home last night.

After coming from college, he went back into the company building where he was currently interning. Her steps came to a standstill when she met Alif who was walking with a beautiful woman out of her husband's room.

Humairah immediately bowed respectfully so that no one would suspect him.

"Humaha"

Humairah glanced at her husband's hand which was tied to the woman's pretty fingers.

"Sorry sir, I just want to pass by," said Humairah formal, he considered being met with his superiors.

"Are you the one?" the woman said to Humairah.

Hearing that made Humairah straighten her face which was originally lowered. Their eyes met each other, Humairah's blood rippled that gaze as if it was no stranger to him.

After meeting such a close encounter Humairah felt that the woman's face was so familiar to him, the woman's lips and eyes were like no stranger to Humairah.

"sorry"

"I'm Aisyah, I think we need to talk three"
