Bismillah, I'm Hijab

Past Times

Two pairs of eyes that looked so deep, clearly visible now there was a deep longing. Undeniable despite long hating and leaving without wanting to remember that name again for many years in his heart, now Prass realizes the feeling he really wants to throw away and forget it is still in his most basic heart.

Her heart ached seeing Zera helpless like this, even the beautiful woman no longer shone at this moment. Lips that always smile with natural pink now only look like the undead. Very pale and sunken eyes into, even the cheeks cuby that he always pinched once was now very thin.

"Are you happy to see the results, Prass?" tanya Lirih Zera looked at the man in front of her who was also looking at her with dewy eyes.

Prass immediately nodded while clenching the two lips that wanted to cry, a sense of regret he felt this time. Devina was right in her flesh and blood, how could she not admit to the girl?

"Yes, I'm happy and sad to see the results. I was sad because I had wanted to hurt her physically." Inner Prass wanted to tell how she was so hooked to make Devina his mistress. But it feels like this is not the right time for him to admit all his mistakes. Given the circumstances Zera is being very worrying.

"Thank you for taking good care of our son. I'm really sorry I didn't acknowledge my son Devina." continued Prass bowed sadly.

There was a smile rising on Zera's pale lips. "He rubbed the back of Prass' hand.

"Get him well, forgive me for failing to educate him all this time, Prass. I tried my best" Zera took a deep breath and spoke again.

"I beg Prass, release Devina from there. This is my first and last request. I can't wait for Devina much longer." Prass's face that had been lowered immediately looked up at Zera's face. He shook his head when he heard Zera.

"Zera, no. What are you talking about? Devina still needs you. You can't say this" he said, fearing that Zera would say it was his last wish before he actually left this world.

"I'm sorry, Prass. At that time I had to do it. Rinto's father forced me to do his bidding." Not over Prass' fear, now Zera's words again make the man's chest very surprised. His eyes glared when he heard the name of Rinto's father who was none other than his father who had died of a heart attack.

Zera cried remembering painful memories of the past for her.

Prass shakes.

The flashback

During the day when the sun was so hot, Zera walked home from the hospital after controlling her content which was still eight weeks old.

Happiness was complete when the little family of Prass and Zera was gifted a child in the womb of Zera. Although their marriage did not get the blessing of Prass' parents.

Their series of marriages did before getting the blessing of both Prass's parents. Zera believes that someday they will get their blessing, which is what he believes.

"Zera!" Shouts were heard echoing from outside the courtyard as Zera was about to close the door.

The woman opened the door and saw who was coming. A smile that was so wide he gave to his two in-laws as he stepped closer. Although Zera knew back then that their faces were not very good to her.

"Dad, Mother, please come in. Zera make me a warm drink first. Prass hasn't come home from work at this hour, Dad, Mom" she said so kindly that even Zera wanted to grab her parents-in-law's hand for her kiss. Honey, his treatment was ignored by them.

"Well, go ahead." the middle-aged woman told her husband.

"Zera, we're very well-intentioned to come talk to you this time. So we hope you can appreciate us." The firm voice of Rinto's father made Zera gulp down his saliva.

He was so afraid to face this all alone. In his heart, I really hope that the husband suddenly comes like a lot of events in the drama. Unfortunately, all is hope.

"Your son will be the bet if you don't obey us."

Zera's eyes rounded in shock, his hands reflexively hugging that flat stomach, as if to protect him. He shook his head in fear when he heard his son being carried around.

"Leave Prass and take the boy with you. We promise not to bother you, but if you insist on keeping my son, Prass. I can't guarantee your son will be born when the time comes. Can you see that?" Zera's eyes stared at the many men in black who were standing in each corner around his modest house that did not have a high fence. All stood appearing to themselves as Zera's eyes stared at the direction the in-laws were pointing.

At that very moment Zera gulped her saliva with great difficulty. Afraid, of course he was very scared. Even unconsciously Zera had shed her tears at that time.

"Dad, how could I leave Prass? We love each other. Can't you guys give me a chance to prove I'm worthy of Prass?" Zera insists on keeping her marriage in front of the in-laws.

He saw the resolute face of his two in-laws was very authoritative when faced with problems. There was no usual arrogant attitude of the in-laws to his son-in-law. Just a quiet, threatening speech.

"If you love Prass, give him a good life. And you can't do that on your own without us, Zera. Leave my son and follow my orders. You and your son will calm down. Even if you insist on keeping my son, Prass. Then I won't hesitate to shoot my own son and the child in your stomach."

"Huh?" Zera's body trembled in fear almost to fall if only he did not hold on to the side of the open door.

And Zera's approval was done according to the orders of the in-laws. He slept in a room with a man he did not know.

A new cctv recording installed in the room makes Zera completely unable to wiggle. If he refused, the man with him would shoot Zera in the stomach.

Until the afternoon was exactly five, the sound of Prass's screams could be heard outside the room.

"Zera! Sweetheart! I'm h-home. Come home, son." Prass' happy shout at that time made Zera's eyes increasingly want to cry and scream as loud as possible. However, he kept it in his hands for the sake of the child and the husband remained safe.

Until there was a shout full of anger when Prass' big hand opened the room door.

"Zera! Bastard* motherfucker!" his squeals whacked the man behind Zera.

With a stiff acting face, Zera opened her eyes and pretended to be shocked. "Prass?" he said but at that time Prass' big hand had slapped him even though the other hand was busy beating the man.

"You're outrageous, Zera. You used me to cover up your pregnancy? Aye!" his screams made Zera's body shocked.

Enraged at Prass, the man continued to beat and cry. Until he left that day without asking anything about Zera and Zera's affair.

The car he drove to an apartment that he did not live in long. It was there that the man shed all his disappointment. Without knowing what really happened.
