Meisya really kept her promise. He came to visit Zarra at ten o'clock in the morning Egyptian time. Fahri had just left when he came. He brought a small bouquet of red roses and a small meal for Zarra. Zarra sat on her soft sofa and conversed with Meisya.
"So, tell me what happened with you," Meisya said. Zarra bit the piece of mango smiling.
"I'm fine, Mey," said Zarra.
"No, definitely you're not fine. You're pale, Ra," Meisya said half-urgently. Zarra looked at Meisya inside. Meisya's attitude reminded her of Asyifa and Amira. She missed her two best friends and sister-in-law. "Come on, Ra. I could be your best friend" Meisya said again.
"I'm pregnant, Mey" replied Zarra softly. Meisya's eyes were perfectly rounded. As if I could not believe what he was hearing. It's his own wrong behavior. Zarra saw the change in Meisya's attitude which seemed shocked in disbelief. "Mey?" call Zarra.
"Well, congratulations Ra?" cried Meisya later. But Zarra had already seen the expression Meisya had shown earlier. That made him wonder. Meisya let out a weak breath. He fell down and suddenly he cried. Zarra did not understand, but he rubbed the shoulder of Meisya who was sitting in front of him. He didn't ask Meisya anything. He wanted Meisya to be calmer first. Before long, Meisya's cries stopped. Zarra thrust out the city with a tissue so Meisya could wipe away her tears.
"I'm sorry, Ra? So cry," said Meisya while laughing bitterly. Zarra smiled gently.
"It's okay, Mey. That cry can also reduce the burden," Zarra replied with a gentle smile.
"Sorry, Ra. That's because I'm not as lucky as you. Doctor says I can't have children. That's also what makes me difficult to get married times huh? Even Fahri is also more choosy of you," Meisya said with eyes glaring far out the window of Zarra's apartment.
DEGGS
Zarra's heart was pounding, feeling something unpleasant surging in her heart as Meisya called out Fahri's name. Do they have any previous relationships?, inner Zarra. He scrunched his forehead, looked at Meisya. While Meisya realized Zarra's shock, she was also a little surprised that Fahri had not told her anything about them.
"Sorry, Ra. Fahri didn't tell me about us?" asked Meisya, staring at Zarra. Zarra looked confused. He just shook slowly. Meisya then took a long breath.
"I don't think it's my right to this story. I don't want you guys to make a fuss" Meisya said. He glanced at Zarra who was beginning to be curious.
"Please, Mey. Aja stories. Everything was. Nothing is left unturned" said Zarra steady. I can't wait to hear the story from Fahri. Fahri will cover some of his parts. Ready not to be ready he wanted to hear what Fahri was hiding from him. He was very disappointed Fahri did not tell him this, even though they were husband and wife. Even Fahri already knows the inside of Zarra.
Meisya tells about her relationship with Fahri. He said that they used to live ta'aruf. It even reached the level of the sermon. Unfortunately, nearing the wedding day, they do a pre-wedding test. Doctors said he could not have children. He decides to end their ta'aruf and release Fahri. He thinks Fahri will defend it. But it turns out that Fahri chose the Indonesian pulangke and when Fahri returned to Cairo, he heard that Fahri had married Zarra.
Zarra who heard that felt like he had been hit by a large rock into his heart. He was disappointed to hear this story from Meisya. But the logic still goes. He had to confirm this story directly to Fahri.
"I beg you not to ask Fahri. It wasn't her fault we split up, even though we were both happy at the time" Meisya said. Zarra fell silent, trying to calm her emotion-filled and chaotic heart. He felt it was just an impingement from Fahri. Although half-heartedly told her to remember how kind Fahri was to her, how Fahri treated her as a wife and queen in her home.
"You still have feelings for him? Still hoping for her?," asked Zarra with eyes looking at Meisya deeply. Meisya cried again and nodded. Zarra let out a long breath. At once his heart could not think clearly.
"But I'm sorry, Mey. I can't give Fahri permission to marry again. I can't yet share," said Zarra staring in the other direction. He could not look at Meisya. Meisya smiled and nodded.
"I know and I understand how you feel now, Zarra. Got to hear all this. I know you won't accept any of this, although maybe Fahri feels the same way too" Meisya lirih replied. Zarra closed her eyes trying to calm the rumbling in her chest.
"Sorry, Zarra if I hurt you. You want me to tell you all without hiding anything. I just want to be friends with you, Ra. Honestly, I'm happy that Fahri is finally happy with you and finally has a child with you" Meisya said. Zarra looked at Meisya. He felt that Meisya was right. The one who asked Meisya to tell her story was herself. It was not Meisya's fault that her heart was currently aching from jealousy and disappointment.
"If you need a traveling companion, just chat with me. Poor you diem in the apartment continues. I can be a free professional guide for you" Meisya said with a sweet smile. Zarra nodded with a smile. He was shocked to see Meisya's departure. After Meisya died, she went into her room and cried herself to sleep.

Zarra woke up when she heard a voice coming from her kitchen. He hurried to get up with a little jump. He wanted to see who was so noisy in his kitchen. As soon as he saw who was in the kitchen, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fahri is cooking something. Zarra looked out the window of her apartment. The atmosphere was dark. Looks like he missed Maghrib's time. He also stood on the balcony of his apartment.
His eyes glared far towards downtown Cairo. Glittering lights adorn the city beautifully. The night wind hit his face. Chilly. But he doesn't care. He took a long breath. His mind returned to Meisya's story this afternoon. For some reason, his heart did not want to believe completely in Meisya's story. Maybe it's the secret of Fahri and Meisya. Their past and the future of Fahri is himself and the child in the womb. He just can't figure out why Fahri didn't tell me this. Had to wait until when Fahri would tell this. Even if it is like that, what is the reason Fahri hid all this. All those thoughts disturbed his mind, making him slightly dizzy. He staggered back a little. However, his body was held back by something strong. He looks. Fahri stood there.
"You're here anyway, Yang? The night wind was not good for your health, you know," said Fahri guiding Zarra to the front sofa. Zarra sat leaning against her soft sofa softly. He straightened his legs on the sofa.
"Dizziness huh?" asked Fahri worriedly. Zarra tried to find sincerity in Fahri's eyes. And it was really sincere from Fahri. Zarra just nodded weakly. If you see Fahri's affectionate attitude, it seems impossible that Fahri does not have sincerity with him.
"Who, do you love me?" asked Zarra as she looked at Fahri. Fahri smiled. He thought it was part of every pregnant woman's birth. He just chuckles small. He pinched his wife's nose gently with anxiety.
"Well, I love you, my dear" replied Fahri. Zarra smile. His smile was a little forced because he was still not satisfied with Fahri's answer. He hesitates to question Fahri's past with Meisya. He remembers how there are husband and wife in Islam who do not allow to bring up or pry into the past of a couple, except for their partner who really wants to tell it.
"Want to tell what happened?," asked Fahri softly. He knew Zarra wanted to say something. Zarra confirmed his sitting position. He faced Fahri and looked at him deeply.
"Sister, sorry before. Not that I'm talking about your past, but I just want to know, is there a woman before me you preach?" asked Zarra. His eyes kept staring at Fahri. Fahri smiled, but not the smile that Zarra wanted. It was a bitter smile. He nodded softly. Zarra let out a long sigh to calm the turmoil in her heart.
"Wanna tell something to me?" Zarra asked. He hopes Fahri tells him something to support his feelings, saying Meisya is lying. However, Fahri's reply left Zarra disappointed.
"Zarra, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this. Too bitter for me. And this problem is not yet resolved and has not been resolved. But I promise you, waallahi, will tell you everything the same as you," Fahri said. He held Zarra's hand tightly. Zarra tries to understand, though Fahri's answer makes her sick. Aye! His heartache heard Fahri had not yet overcome his feelings for Meisya. That means that Fahri still has feelings for Meisya.
"By the way, when I went to the hospital yesterday, you made the same deal with Meisya?" Zarra asked later. Fahri's eyes were perfectly rounded. He was surprised that Zarra knew.
"Who said it?" asked Fahri.
"Meisya," replied Zarra in short. Fahri took a short breath. The smile on his face faded away changing into worry.
"Ra, I'm a pesen, right? Don't be so deceptive as Meisya. Whatever happens, don't ask for help. I beg for the good of you and our son" said Fahri. Zarra scrunched his forehead. He became more confused and wanted to get angry. Did Fahri forbid it to be close to Meisya because they still have feelings? Thinking about it made Zarra even more dizzy. Her lower abdomen is painful. He did not want to argue anymore, let alone see the change in the look of Fahri's face. Better to find out for yourself.
