Kagendra gets a text message from Sarah who gives news if Natasha is aware and wants to meet with him.
“Honey, Aa go back to the office first huh. There's still a lot of work to be done.” Kagendra did not tell the truth that he would go to the hospital first to see Natasha.
Sadiyah nodded her head.
“You're okay if Aa stays? If you want Aa not to go, Aa will be here to accompany you.”
“No need, A. Aa just finish Aa's job at the office. If anything, Iyah will contact Aa.” Sadiyah was not sure if Kagendra would go to the office. His instincts as a wife felt that Kagendra was lying.
“Remember to quickly contact Aa if there is anything.” Kagendra was worried about leaving Sadiyah but had to solve all the mess Natasha had made.
Kagendra realizes that all this mess started from his sinful relationship with Natasha. If only he had no more contact with Natasha, none of this mess would have happened. If only love for Sadiyah had come sooner, this may have never happened. If only Kagendra had broken off her forbidden relationship with Natasha, this mess would have never happened.
So many forms of divination that exist in the mind of Kagendra that makes tightness in his chest.
Kagendra truly regretted his actions. Now he realized that his heart had changed. Now his heart belongs only to Sadiyah.
Kagendra is determined to immediately settle all affairs with Natasha. Kagendra will tell Natasha the truth. She said that her love for Natasha was no longer there. Now his love is only for his beloved wife.
Kagendra suggested that he was a dick and irresponsible man. It's too easy to get into a forbidden relationship with Natasha without thinking about the bad consequences. He was a scoundrel husband for wasting a sholeh wife. He could only hope that it was not too late.
*********
Kagendra opened the door of Natasha's nursery and saw Natasha who was still lying weakly on her bed.
“Tasha. You why the hell?”
“Sayang. I miss you. Hug me.” Natasha spread her arms expecting a hug from Kagendra.
Kagendra approaches Natasha but does not give Natasha the hug she wants.
“Tasha, this act of yours is endangering you. Don't you realize this could make you die?” Kagendra said in a high voice.
“Everything because of you? You're starting to ignore me. I'm afraid that you're leaving me.” Natasha started sobbing.
“Tasha, the relationship we are living in is so wrong. Forgive me for not rejecting this forbidden relationship in the first place. I was wrong.” Kagendra looked at Natasha's face which still looked pale.
“No. Our relationship is not wrong. We love each other and we both deserve to be happy.” Natasha is sobbing.
“I already have a wife. I have promised before God and the witnesses to take care of him and take responsibility for his life.”
“You promised me, Kagendra. You promised that you would divorce her soon. You promised me. You have to keep your promise.” Natasha squeezed tightly onto Kagendra's arm.
“I'm sorry. I am the guilty one. We should not re-establish our relationship from the beginning which has been interrupted for a long time.” Kagendra held Natasha's hand.
“No...no...we have not broken up. There is no breaking up between us. We're still lovers. I don't want to break up.”
“When you decided to leave me and not send word for four years, that was actually a sign of our breakup. Forgive me if after you return I was carried away by a momentary emotion that misinterpreted my feelings for you.”
“No..you can't treat me like this. I'll die if you leave me. I'd rather die if you weren't by my side. My life means nothing without you.” Natasha shook her head not to accept Kagendra's words.
“You love me, Kagendra. I'm sure I'm the only woman you love.” Isak Natasha turned into a cry.
“True. You're the girl I've loved. I loved you so much at that time. But now my love is only for my wife. A halal woman for me. Halal love.”
“No... What you feel for a woman is not love. Maybe you just feel sorry for him. Different from the taste you have for me.” Natasha remained with her belief that she was the woman Kagendra loved.
Kagendra sighed harshly. He had run out of words to convince Natasha that the woman he was in love with now was Sadiyah. For a while Kagendra succumbed to Natasha's wishes.
“Good. For a while, I will accompany you until your emotions are stable and can think better about our current condition.”
Natasha smiled hearing what Kagendra said. He will use this opportunity to plant his hegemony in Kagendra's heart.
Kagendra sat on the sofa in the corner of the room. He opened his phone and checked the incoming emails.
“Darling, I'm thirsty. Please get me a drink.”
Kagendra got up from her seat and gave a glass of water and brought a straw to Natasha's lips.
“Thank you dear.”
After she finished drinking, Natasha picked up her phone which she put on the nightstand. This morning, Sarah, her assistant took her cell phone from her apartment unit.
He photographed Kagendra sitting on the sofa and sent it to Sadiyah accompanied by a text message.
Your husband is with me. I was in the hospital because something happened with my pregnancy. And your husband is here with me, accompanying me. Just try sending a message to your husband and ask him where he is. I'm sure he won't tell you the truth.
Sadiyah who just finished performing the Ashar prayer checked her phone because she heard the notification of incoming messages.
Sadiyah opened the message and saw a picture of Kagendra sitting on the sofa in a room that looked like a hospital room.
Read the message below it.
Instantly Sadiyah's chest again felt pain and tightness.
Stupidly, Sadiyah obeyed what Natasha asked.
Where's AA? What do?
Not long after, a reply came from Kagendra.
Aa's in the office. Checking the files.
Tears came back from his eyes. There were no more number of times Sadiyah had cried since yesterday.
