I Am Among Them

ADM 83S

"I've filed our divorce lawsuit with the religious court. I'm sorry, maybe you'll think of me as a selfish man. But, I've been thinking about it for a long time before you got sick" Reyhan said with great emphasis.

Ria had expected Reyhan to do this, since Hanna's departure the other day Ria became self-conscious. She is not the perfect wife in a marriage.

Ria tried to smile, even though her tears could no longer be contained. Reyhan who saw was a little pity on Ria.

"I'm sorry." Reyhan held Ria's hand.

"There's nothing to forgive, even if someone apologizes it should be me, not you, Mas." Ria was still trying to smile.

"I also got it wrong, marrying Hanna without asking permission from you" Reyhan explained.

"It's not your fault, it's just me who hasn't been a wife all this time. Insulting you, corrupting, even I never appreciated you." Ria while wiping the tears that had not stopped coming out since.

"Don't ever remember that again, Ria. It's all just the past" Reyhan said.

"I can never forget it, Mom. I'm just an ungodly wife, never serving a husband well, let alone making you happy. I can only make you tormented to be near me" said Ria.

"Not talk anymore!" Reyhan covered Ria's mouth with his finger.

"Mas, if we are officially divorced or I die of my disease, I leave the children, lest they be taken by Alvin. I want them to be as successful as you are, Mom. I know I don't deserve to ask you this. But there is no one better than you that I can trust. And one more thing, don't ever make Hanna cry. She's the only good woman I've ever met. I hope that later, if Aqila grows up to become a woman like her. Sweetheart, loving and kind." Ria.

Reyhan only smiled at Ria's words. Not that he was happy, just not wanting to seem sad in front of Ria.

"I'm sorry" Reyhan said.

The two fell silent, they both shed tears. Perhaps this is the end of the arranged marriage journey between Reyhan and Ria. The selfishness of the parents is what makes them have to be willing to undergo a marriage without love for up to a dozen years.

"Mas, may I ask for a final request before we finally part?" Tanya Ria hump.

"Tell me, if I can I'll do it" Reyhan replied.

" Can I hug you just once" Pinta Ria said.

"Why not. We're still halal to touch, aren't we!" answer Reyhan.

Ria just smiled at Reyhan's reply, maybe it's too late. However, he wanted to feel the embrace of the husband, the person he had never once considered a husband.

Reyhan said goodbye to Ria, as there was some work to be done. However, Reyhan was surprised. When he was about to get out of Ria's ward, Yudha's figure was standing beside the door.

"Just recently. Yes, I just came in" he replied.

"Sorry, I have to go. I'll be back later tonight." Pamit Reyhan before finally leaving the room.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Reyhan returned to the hospital, this time Reyhan no longer wears his great suit. Instead of wearing jeans with a shirt top wrapped in a jacket outside. His good looks are increasingly radiated even though he is not young anymore.

"Baby, Reyhan. You've come" said Ria.

"Hemm" Reyhan replied.

Not long after that Reyhan's phone ring rang, the name of Darling on the screen of the phone. Reyhan immediately shifted the green button on his phone screen.

"Assalamu'alaikum, yes dear," said Reyhan.

While Ria who heard the friendly speech of her man made Ria jealous, although she could already guess that it was honey that was Hanna.

"Do you want to talk to Ria?" Tawar Reyhan's. And Reyhan also moved his call into Vidio's call.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am! How are you?" Hanna asked in tears.

"Getishalight." Ria smiled.

"Na, sorry. I have sinned a lot with you" said Ria.

"Sir, I'm also a lot wrong, I'm sorry too." Hanna tried to smile even though she was jealous to see her man so close to his first wife lying in a hospital gurney.

"I have good news for you" said Hanna.

Reyhan and Ria looked at each other. They were waiting for news of what Hanna would give. Everything was beyond Reyhan and Ria's expectations.
