Love in a Contract Marriage

Love in Marriage Contracts chapter 51

In a place far from the city where he lived. Ayesha hid in an inn in the small town.

He is aware that he is currently a fugitive of his family Gibran may even be included in the search list because Gibran must have reported himself to the police.

"Well, what should I do? I can't call Mama right now because right now Mama must be with Papa" Ayesha muttered.

Ayesha sat on the balcony of her room while looking at the trees growing around the inn.

"Now let's not get Gibran, just meet him I can't. All because of that fucking Yasmin. Until whenever I won't forgive that woman, she'll have to get out of Gibran's life, if I can't get Gibran to eat Yasmin or anyone else it can't get or have Gibran."

*******

The Gibran residence.

"It's night, go to bed, quick" Gibran told Yasmin.

"I haven't fallen for Mas" said Yasmin, looking at Gibran at a glance.

"You need to rest a lot because you didn't have enough rest yesterday."

"I don't do anything every day, Mas, enough rest."

"Yet. You need more rest to recover quickly."

"Mas, I'm staying with Wanda." Yasmin suddenly remembered Gibran's long-lost ex-lover.

"Hmm, why do you suddenly remember him? I just don't remember her boyfriend."

"Pity Wanda, she must be sad."

"Yasmin, don't think of anything you shouldn't think of. Wanda was happy there."

"But if Ayesha had not committed that crime, Wanda would have been happy with you by now."

Gibran smiled and lay on his side facing his wife.

"If she's still around, maybe maybe we'll never meet, maybe now I have a child with Wanda."

"You love Wanda?"

Yasmin looked up to be able to look at the husband's face.

"Why ask like that?"

"I just want to know, can't I?" yasmin said as she played Gibran's chin with her thumb.

"If I told you I still loved her, would you be angry?"

"Why should you be angry? Wanda is the first person you love while I, I just knew you that was because it was not intentional."

Gibran grabbed Yasmin's cheek and stroked her gently. "I just love you. Right now there is only you, Wanda is my past that never goes away so I can't forget it completely."

"Hmm, tomorrow we make a pilgrimage to eat Wanda ya Mas."

"For what?"

"I want her permission and pray for her."

"Izin for what?"

"I want to have you completely and I don't want to be separated from you. By praying for him, may he give you for me. In any case, Wanda has been in your life and she will be your wife."

"Yes, tomorrow I'll take you to Wanda's grave as long as you sleep now."

"Thank you, good night."

Yasmin smiled then kissed Gibran's chin and then immediately closed her eyes and began to go to her subconscious.

"Well, why haven't you slept?" asked Maria to Galih who was still sitting on the bench in front of her house.

Galih turned to the direction of the voice and saw the figure of the woman he loved so much and respected.

"Eh Mama, Mama herself why haven't you slept?"

"Mama can't sleep because from then on you just keep quiet while staring at the darkness of the night. What's up hmm? Same story with Mama."

"There's nothing about Ma, I'm just looking at people's wives."

"Yes, don't belong to anyone." Maria hit Galih's arm slowly.

Galih laughed while looking at her mother's face.

"Obviously you're fucked."

"No, promise. Ma, I'm actually confused."

"Why jungles? I think a lot of people owe me."

"No, if I told you anything, Mama wouldn't understand."

"That's it, Mama was also young maybe Mama knew."

"Yes, too, but I don't want a story. I'm gonna keep this a secret myself."

"You know what, okay if you don't want to tell a story that's okay but remember don't make mistakes."

"Ma, everyone must have made a mistake. I must have made a mistake, too, but I promise I won't make the same mistake, be it with Gibran or anyone else. I realize loving someone who already belongs to someone else is very misleading." As if knowing what worries Mary had, without being asked or reminded, Galih had already said what Mary might have wanted to hear and Mary knew.

Maria smiled and rubbed Galih's back. "Mama is sure one day you will get the woman you want if the figure of Yasmin you admire, then one day there will be a woman like Yasmin who is exactly what you want."

Galih said no more, he just smiled faintly in response to Maria's words.

"It's late, Mama wants to rest yes," said Maria as she got up from her seat.

"Yes Ma, good night."

"Good night dear." Maria immediately entered the house while Galih was still busy staying there.

"Sister Dalina, why daydream? Yasmin has met" said Shaima.

"Sister can't sleep" Dalina said.

"Why? Brother Zafran huh? Don't think about him."

"That's not how Shaima is, it's not your brother you think."

"Then what?"

"Have not been discussed. You won't understand because you haven't experienced it."

"Well, if you don't want a story, but if you want a story, whenever I'll be a good listener for you."

"Thank you, Shaima."

"Don't thank me. I'm just trying to make amends for what I did to Brother and Yasmin."

"What are you talking about on gini nights?" ask Zaina who woke up wanting to pee.

"No ma'am, we're just talking about young people, I won't understand" Shaima said.

"Well, whatever you want. You are old enough to not want to tell Mom" Zaina said as she walked to the bathroom in her kitchen.

"You are, the same old man joking mute," said Dalina.

"Hihi, sorry brother."

"Sleep there instead of tomorrow you have to work."

"Tomorrow sunday, time off."

"Oh yes, until you forget that tomorrow is Sunday."

"About not having a salary until forgetting the same day."

"It's the unemployed, the same day you can forget."

"Unemployed but always busy."

"Hey you guys, it's still the night joking. Quickly sleep there, do not disturb the parents again rest," said Zaina who just returned from the bathroom.

Gibran looked at Yasmin who was now asleep, somehow the words he used to say to Wanda could be forgotten so easily when he was with Yasmin.

He once opened his heart to other women but could never forget the good times with Wanda and he could never forget his promise to Wanda to live together forever.

It was all different when he was with Yasmin, although he has not known Yasmin for long but he has been able to forget the memories with Wanda even though he did not completely forget the past with Wanda but he felt comfortable with Yasmin.

"Maybe you're the right woman for me, maybe Wanda also agrees with me that's why she went from my memory when I was with you. You are the kind girl I once had after Wanda, you have mature thoughts despite your age. May you be the last woman who will accompany my life until death to pick me up," Gibran said in his heart before finally he also slept following Yasmin to dreamland.
