Double-role

CHAPTER 16

The morning wind still caresses the two people who are embracing each other by the pool. Occasionally the cold air made Alina's body slightly shivering, Azam gladly close himself to protect the wife.

The masculine fragrance inside Azam ushered a red hue on Alina's white cheeks. Warm embrace of loved ones heralding a heartbeat increasingly beating fast. The pain that had perched in the chest gradually recovered.

Alina was happy to be treated warmly by her own husband. It was as cold as rain soaking up the arid soil.

"Mas" the gentle call blew away Azam who was drowning in comfort.

"Yes, honey."

For the conspiracy of seconds Alina stiffened to hear back the call of affection spoken from her husband. The smile on her lips became even more beautiful. Spring tubs bring happiness through cherry blossoms. However, unfortunately in tropical countries spring does not exist. Only leaving the void and hope that is getting entrenched.

"Mas has to go to work soon, later too late," Alina recalled.

Azam was forced to give up his arms and turn his wife's body to face him. Alina knitted both eyebrows looking at her husband's charming lips scowling, like a child losing her toy.

"Don't pout like that, the look will be gone."

Alina boldly rubbed the top of her male head. Azam returned to smile when the wife looked fine.

"I will always be handsome to you" Azam said with high confidence.

Alina just smiled faintly hearing that. "All right, all right, hurry now Mas's going to the office." She pushed her husband's chest away.

Unexpectedly Azam gave a kiss on the forehead giving tension to Alina. He looked down and aligned his face with his second wife. "I go first, take good care of myself at home."

A soft tone buzzed, Alina blinked her eyes many times. Azam widened his smile again and patted the top of the woman's head slowly. Alina nodded and shook her husband's hand.

After the brief farewell Azam set foot leaving Alina. The brownish iris of the woman looked at him in silence. He was still trying to resist the pounding that kept racing every Azam treated him very gently.

"Astaghfirullah, I forgot Azam has not had breakfast."

Alina ran with all her might following the husband.

Luckily Azam was still in the living room wearing shoes. Alina came with a breath of breath, the man was confused.

"What's up, honey?"

The woman's chest went up and down and scooped up as much oxygen to calm down. "Mas hasn't had breakfast yet" he explained.

"Oh that, I'll have breakfast at the office later."

Alina cengo and waved both hands. "No, I'll prepare the box. Wait a minute here" he said. Azam again showed a cheerful face watching the wife.

Not until twenty minutes Alina has returned with a stock box. Azam moved from his seat to welcome Alina.

"Here, make sure you have to eat it."

Alina thrust the object and was warmly received by Azam. "Well, I'll eat it up. Thank you, I'm going first."

...***...

The wounds created are eroded by the sweetness of kindness. Tides in household life are common. Spouses must trust each other and be firmly attached to the sacred promise of marriage in order to maintain the relationship. Marriage became the main foundation for perfecting half the religion.

The longest worship that contains an extraordinary reward. However, there are also many shocks and temptations of the marriage test. The captain who drives the ship in the sea is required to carry it safely and well, so that the passengers are safe until the port.

Love comes with time and togetherness. It cannot be forced to be felt only.

This afternoon, Alina who was holding Aqeela sat with Yasmin in the yard. A glass of tea and a few jars of cookies accompanied them

"You love Azam very much, don't you?"

The quick-sliding question from Yasmin made Alina turn her head. His face looked flat without the slightest visible expression. Feeling noticed, Yasmin returned her gaze and gave a big smile.

Alina was stunned. Has his feelings been discovered? Thought scared.

"You must not be afraid or ashamed. Because I'm ready if this time comes, sooner or later."

The subtle sound is full of meaning buzzing in hearing. Alina was aware that no matter how hard a wife of her various husbands and other women would be hurt as well. Especially with the condition of Yasmin who is fighting a malignant disease in her body.

"It must have hurt even more" Alina thought.

"Isn't that good, you love Azam's mas and it seems like he has the same feeling. I am calm, whenever God calls, then Azam has taken care of." Ysamin said while looking ahead. A smile still faithfully framed on her pale lips.

Alina was more surprised to hear his words just now, her head in hijab shook her head several times. As fast as lightning he clasped Yasmin's hand perched on their middle table.

"No, Ms. Yasmin will not go anywhere. We will always be together, Aqeela also needs Mbak. Ma-mas Azam looks like that - because he only fulfills his duties as a husband" Alina assures.

Yasmin returned the grip of her hand and turned back. "We don't know what God's plan is, Alina. Man can only plan and decide only God. The bad is already his path. If bad odds do happen, ma'am pin them on you, yeah. Only you Al, can be the best mother and wife for them."

Alina couldn't help but be sad, tears couldn't be dammed spilling unbearable. He moved from sitting and hugged Yasmin.

The woman also returned it. Yasmin knew how this made her feel, because as a fellow woman she had once been in Alina's position. If loving in silence is not easy to do. It takes struggle and sacrifice.

"I used to only see Azam mas from a distance. The figure of the man was not easy to reach, he was always cold and flat. That's what I like about him. I don't know who first inhabited the throne of his heart. I just always prayed to ask the One Above for this feeling of mine. Until God finally unites us together" Yasmin's monologue recalled the past.

It was the time when he first met Azam. At that time he became his junior brother in a state college. They also met in a religious organization. There Yasmin was attracted because of the cold, indifferent attitude that Azam lay. But behind it lies a side of kindness and tenderness that no one can see.

Yasmin took it upon herself and the feeling of love grew unnoticed. He who was born from a family is not expecting if their families turned out to be cooperating with each other. Until the relationship between the two continues. The beginning of a friendship now reaches the level of marriage.

If it turns out Azam also put his heart on her. Although Yasmin knew there was a past stored neatly in the man. He didn't want to see it and focus on the future of both of them. However, who would have thought the illness he suffered presented a woman named Alina.

Alina and Azam meet again at the company. Alina who was about to apply for a job to help the mother of the orphanage did not expect to be reunited with her childhood best friend. Azam was happy to see him again, so he met his wife. And who would have thought since that meeting things were no longer the same.

Marriage, tie them together to stay together.
