CHARM GIRL WITH HAZEL EYES

CHAPTER 5. THE KEY OF A WIFE

Iqbal sees Kayra and her younger sister who just got into Shilla's car. Not without reason Shilla came to Kayra, but because of the young man's personal request. Iqbal understood that what Kayra said was very wrong, considering that Kayra was his wife and that she should not have been like that even though she did not love the girl at all.

Had Iqbal still had little power to resist Acha's request asking her to marry Kayra, he would have rejected her at that very moment. And she also has no idea if Kayra accepts Acha's request to marry him.

It was not only Kayra who regretted this loveless marriage, but also herself who could not argue with Acha at that time. And he had absolutely no intention of doing anything bad to the girl. However, what people say is not at all wrong. Acha and Kayra are so similar, not just from the looks of it, the way of thinking, walking, eating and dressing are also almost the same as each other.

That's what makes it even harder for Iqbal to accept Kayra as his wife. Regardless of Kayra and Azmi's relationship that she knows.

"Bag,"

Bi Surti's call made Iqbal aware. Women who wear hijab with the size of a jumbo was entered when given a nod by Iqbal.

"Eat ya mas," said bi Surti again. "Bak Kayra has gone with Shilla ko, now Iqbal mas can eat," said bi Surti again.

The Iqbal that was in front of his eyes was very different from the Iqbal that he had seen a few weeks ago. Bi Surti not only lost Acha, but also lost Iqbal.

"Auntie, yes, aunt has not eaten, either" he said again because only silence he got.

"I was wrong with Kayra, huh bi?"

One sentence that came out of Iqbal's mouth made bi Surti take a slow breath, then sit in an empty chair. Looking at the same spot, they were currently looking towards Kayra who was busy with her phone, the girl's face covered in a mask. "So far as I know until now it is not only Iqbal mas who are victims here" said bi Surti. But one second later he continued after realizing there was one word sensitive enough to be heard by Iqbal. "We all know the purpose mbak Acha must be good, who else besides the family mbak Kayra who knows Kay mbak well besides mbak Acha? And who else knows Iqbal better than Acha?" tanya bi Surti's.

They were still staring at the same point, this time the car that Shilla was driving had already left Iqbal's house.

"And I'm sure Acha can't just match you two up, her goal is good, right?"

"But I haven't been able to accept Kayra bi,"

"Initial time Iqbal married same mbak Acha what mas Iqbal can directly accept mbak Acha?" tanya bi Surti's. Makes Iqbal replay the memories of those who used to be. "Everything goes slowly, do not be too forced, let it flow,"

"But this time it's different bi," Iqbal lowered his head deeply. "This time is different, because the door I have is held by Acha. And only Acha can open,"

Bi Surti kept quiet for quite a while, thinking of the right answer so as not to make Iqbal feel more cornered. He knew Iqbal didn't want to do that to Kayra. "But it is not wise also if mas Iqbal treats mba Kayra so," said bi Surti.

Suddenly Iqbal's shoulder shook, he cried in front of others after he spent his night in tears alone. "I'm afraid Acha is angry because I'm too much of a Kayra bi" Iqbal said.

Bi Surti raised his hand, patting Iqbal's arm slowly. "Most certainly Acha ngerti mas, mbak Acha a good person," said bi Surti. "But like what aunt said before, Kayra couldn't be treated like that either. Sister Kayra agreed to this marriage because she wanted to make her Ma'am Acha leave quietly and happily, exactly the same as Iqbal's goal right?"

"But what is Acha now happy bi?" tanya Iqbal suddenly raised his face. "He must be very disappointed with me,"

"What knew the answer was only Iqbal mas," bi Surti moved from his seat. "Jalanin everything was slow, chatting with Kayra all together," he said again before actually returning to leave Iqbal alone.

"Father does not want to blame your decision at all" said the father. Kayra's condition is better now, I don't know how long she left Shilla with Amel.

"So far, how do you want to go?"

"Where is mom?" ask father back. "It's clear to Kayra that we have to go through everything" he said.

"Yes sir, Kayra also has no intention at all to leave,"

"Jalanin all with sincerity, the intention of all to worship in the way of God. Although originally the intention was only to make Acha happy, but if indeed you are destined to be a match who can avoid mbak?" father says.

"But sir-"

"Why?"

"Mas Iqbal is not able to accept Kayra yet" Kayra said slowly.

"Now you will ask me too" said the father. "Are you able to take it Iqbal?"

Shut up, Kayra did not answer. The girl just stared at the floor of her parents' room which was pure white. And you know what the answer is.

"You yourself who do not have the same bond Azmi mas is also difficult, right to lupain mas Azmi? This is a wife" said the father. "Iqbal must have been many times more difficult than you, he may also still be shocked by Acha's decision. But there was no other choice because it was his wife's last request. No papa even if you become a second wife, there is nothing wrong with that. The important thing is that you do not violate the rules of religion. The key to a wife is just one mbak" said the father. "Well,"

"Feel better?" ask Shilla. They returned to stop by, this time in a cafe that is often used as a place for young people. Either Shilla knows where if near the house Acha and Iqbal there is a cafe as good as this.

Kayra nodded as she ordered a drink, tonight she was eager to eat a sweet treat. "It's delicious, isn't it?" kayra asked Shilla.

Shilla frowned, but one second later the girl nodded slowly. Between sure and unsure. "Maybe," he said.

"I want this, this, this, this, this same," Kayra said, ordering four menus at once.

"Are you sure you'll be eaten all?"

Kayra nodded for sure. "Remain, I'm laper,"

"Lo just ate Kay's mother's cooking" Shilla shook her head. "It's really strong now" said Shilla.

"Gue again wants to eat the sweet sweet Shill," said Kayra.

"Yes, yes" said Shilla. The girl had also made her choice and asked the waiters to leave the two of them. "Lo's really good after a long conversation with you?"

"Udah" answered Kayra. His gaze swept around. This place is filled with young people, and they choose the outdoor while enjoying live music that is there every Sunday night. "Now I'm okay, but I don't know later" Kayra replied casually.

"Lo knows Kay, even though I'm your sister-in-law now but I always support you. I'm going to scold my sister if she's not being nice to you,"
