...🍁🍁🍁...
"Haha..."
[Mo..Why are you laughing?] Rey asked in wonder from across the street.
"Sister, sister can't do that anymore.sister can't say I'm like me."
[What's why?]
"Sister can only say kayak gini same future wife sister later and sister should only always have time for sister's wife later. Later he can be jealous, brother." Zahwa scolded his cousin's sister.
[SG.]. hahahaha.
There was laughter from across the street, Zahwa was astonished because Rey suddenly laughed with her words. "Sister, is there anything funny?"
[You're right, Zahwa, I'm just saying this to my future wife]
"What?"
[You heard me? I just say like this my future wife will be.] Rey said seriously.
"Hahahaha." this time it was Zahwa's turn to laugh. "This brother has exaggerated jokes, ah already deh.ini I want to go first, I want to check the patient."
[I'm not kidding]
"So don't do it dong, later the sister's wife will be angry if you know the sister says gini same me. This is not funny, brother. Yes, I worked first. assalamualaikum." Zahwa ended talks with her brother on the phone because she had a lot of work before she was sent home early.
[Capitaly]

In the President's room.
Rey was heard sighing heavily, after talking to Zahwa. The innocent girl who had already captivated him from his 13 years old. "Oh Allah, it is very difficult to talk to Zahwa.when I have given the code but he is insensitive and laughs at my words."
"What if you just declare love to her?" advice Niko, Rey's secretary while handing some documents to the president's desk.
"Didn't you just hear? I just told her my love for her, but she-"
"Sir.I don't mean expressing love in that way. If the person is insensitive, then the way we have to do it must be a little extreme."
"Extreme? Whatchu mean?"
"Yes, you must show your love in the form of words and attitudes simultaneously. You know what I said pushing forward first?" Niko looked at her president who looked puzzled. During this time Niko had never seen Rey at all this confusion because of a woman.
His boss is also the loyal type, never having a relationship with a woman. Maybe close ever, but not to the point of dating. It was only a few days ago that his boss said that he had liked someone for a long time and he intended to propose to him immediately. But the woman is completely insensitive and also their family will not be easy to give blessing. But Rey never mentioned to Niko who the woman she was referring to.
"Forge ahead and push first how?" asked Rey with a frown.
Niko whispered something into his boss's ear, whatever the man whispered to make Rey flabbergasted with widened eyes. "ah! Crazy to you! I'm not good with him yet, how dare I do that."
I did the mistake of kissing Zahwa when she fell asleep, I knew it was wrong and I didn't want to do it again. Then do I have to do it for Zahwa to be sensitive? Wouldn't she be mad at me if I touched her.
"Sir, but this is the only way to get her sensitized! Women like this, really hard to conquer sir,"
"Is your fiancee like that too?" Rey seems hard to think about Zahwa's problem.
"If my fiancee is, she is immediately sensitive because we really love each other from the beginning, sir. So when I said my love to my fiancee, she immediately accepted me." said Niko who explained about her love problem with her boyfriend, who is now officially engaged. Yes, it can be seen from the ring embedded in Niko's ring finger.
"Love? Yes, you are in love with your fiancee, but she seems to have another man in her heart."
"Other guy? Well, sir, do you not-don't you like the same wife people?" accuse Niko with widened eyes with a suspicious look.
Rey glared at his secretary. "Absolutely you say it! She's still single and the person she likes is also newly married to someone else."
"Hehe sorry sir, I just guess. But if that's true, isn't this a chance for you to be by his side and take the man's position. I'm sure her heart will move" Niko advised and encouraged her President.
"God willing I can." Rey muttered as she stared at Zahwa's wallpaper on her phone. No one's ever seen his phone, so no one knows what Rey's got. Everything is full of photos of Zahwa, from Zahwa photos as a baby, children, teenagers, to the present.

Elsewhere, Zainab is seen daydreaming at her internship with doctor Diana. Diana sees Zainab who is not as happy as before, even though Zainab is a newlywed.
"Zainab, are you okay?" diana asked as she patted the girl with black glasses on the shoulder and had a pretty face.
"Sorry Doctor Diana, I..." Zainab looked like she was about to cry, she clenched her hands tightly on her thighs.
Diana sat down beside him, facing towards the girl. "Zainab, what's wrong with you?"
The woman could not hold back her tears anymore, she took off her glasses. "Hiks..doctor Diana forgive me,"
"Why are you apologizing to me? What is your fault?"
"Everything has happened, it's okay Zainab.I'm sure Zahwa forgives you, he will also move on. Please yes, don't be sad.have a happy marriage."
"But our Raihan and I really don't have the slightest love, Raihan still loves Zahwa."
Diana was surprised when she heard the confession from Zainab, that it turned out that Zainab liked her eldest son and it was serious. Diana thinks that Zainab's feelings are ordinary, but her feelings for Rey are deep enough.
"I'm sorry Zainab, I can't help anything about your feelings.But, you have to remember.you are a married woman, you are a wife and Raihan is a husband, those of you who have promised before God that you will establish a home. I am sure you will soon find your happiness. About Zahwa, you don't think about it. Just think about your own household, do your duty as a wife" Diana advised Zainab.
"Hiks..hiks..." Zainab cried, Diana was pitying and hugging him, to comfort her.
"Yes, don't cry anymore. Bismillah, I'm sure between you and Raihan will grow in love, even if not."
Zainab was sobbing, there was regret in her. Why didn't he refuse or run away when he was told to marry Raihan. If this had not happened, there would probably not have been any hearts hurt by it.
#FLASHBACKS
A few hours earlier, near the hospital parking lot. Zainab and Raihan look, see Zahwa rush into the hospital building. They looked at Zahwa with dewy eyes.
"Raihan, we have to explain to him!"
"Already Zainab, leave him alone first. He must be very injured at this time, "sighs Raihan sadly.
"Damn..."
"Zainab, what Zahwa said is true, that we have made a sacred promise before our parents, before God. I am your husband, we are husband and wife.then I will treat you like a wife, but-you cannot control my heart. I'll still marry Zahwa, even if we don't get divorced."
"I understand Raihan, I will also act like your wife. About Zahwa it's up to you to marry him or not, but you better divorce me first!" pinta Zainab to her husband.
"Divorce is hated by Allah, let alone I have promised alm abah. We'll always be husband and wife and we can't play with the marriage bond."
"Then how should we?"
"I will propose to Zahwa as a second wife" replied Raihan who had been unanimous in his decision, no matter if he wanted to be blasphemed or treated as anything. He will earn his love and fulfill his promise to Zahwa. Moreover, there is still great love in Raihan's heart for him.
"I don't care, I agree that you marry Zahwa.nah even if Zahwa agrees." said Zainab without heart. She agreed to have her husband remarry Zahwa.
#ENDFLASHBACKS
Diana still hugged Zainab and calmed her down, it was indeed difficult if she was in the position of Zainab. All wrong, let alone hurt his own best friend even accidentally.
Zahwa I'm sorry.I never should have agreed to marry Raihan. I'm sorry. I regret...

That afternoon Rey was in the hospital, 10 minutes before her appointment with Zahwa. He suspends all his schedules to Zayn and Niko first. He wanted to spend more time with Zahwa.
This was a good time for her to be by Zahwa's side, when the girl needed someone to comfort her. After the news that upset his heart, the marriage of Raihan and Zainab.
After performing the Zuhur prayer, after praying, Rey came out of the mosque in the hospital and she saw Zahwa who happened to have just come out of the mosque as well, just different doors.
"Sister!" Zahwa smiled to see her brother there.
"Nemo." he called Zahwa a reply.
"Sister, how are you here?"
"All the Zuhur prayers are here,"
"Presdir kayak nganggur ya?" muttered Zahwa wonder, why his brother lately always have free time with him.
"And I told you, if it were for you I could be a nuisance. I'll always have time for you" he said unfiltered.
"Son, I told you not to say that."
"Why?"
"Betan brother will be jealous if the brother is too tight with me, then the older brother must be more affectionate with the older sister's wife!" reprimand Zahwa on the attitude of his brother who always stick with him.
"He won't be jealous, my man Deket is the same one I love." Rey looked at Zahwa with a sharp look.
"Ah..kak this." Zahwa avoided the gaze, he turned his face and accidentally stumbled across the cement sidewalk in the parking lot. "Comeofan!" zahwa was shocked as soon as his body rolled forward.
Rey quickly wrapped her hands together and caught Zahwa's body from falling. Their eyes met unintentionally.
There was a strange sigh inside Zahwa's body when she saw her brother who was currently in a position to hug her.
