Love Sheila

Sheila POVs

Today is my first wedding anniversary with Mas Steven. One year into this married life, I never thought at all that I would have the abundant happiness that I am today, considering how the beginning of my marriage with Mas Steven was based on arranged marriages even tucked into an agreement in our marriage.

It turns out that it is true, God's plan is always unexpected, and definitely the best for His servants. And a beautiful reply will always accompany patience and sincerity.

I did not expect that Mas Steven would even remember today. I even just found out that it turns out that Bang Dika who is like a sister for us has a big contribution in our marriage. A strand of gratitude filled the recesses of both of our hearts.

During the day Mas Steven texted me, he told me to get ready for dinner outside to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Even Mas Steven said that he sent the dress.

The happy hue and smile on my lips made my mother-in-law, who now loves me so much, ask me. The warm embrace and the best strands of do'a for me and Mas Steven I got after he found out the reason behind my smile.

After the Maghrib prayer I immediately prepared. Mas Steven sent me a message that he still had an important meeting, but he sent the office driver to pick me up. And after Mbak Siti gave the news that the driver sent Mas Steven had arrived I immediately rushed to get off. Say goodbye to my mother-in-law, I went out to the driver who was waiting next to the parked car.

But wait, I feel like something's awkward. The driver called me 'Miss'. All the employees in Mas Steven's office called me 'Mom', and again I also seemed to have never seen Mas Steven's employees on this one.

I tried to contact Mas Steven but couldn't. Trying to think positively, though a little hesitant, I finally got in the car.

"Father of a new employee at the office, how come I've never seen you?" ask me when the car has driven away from home.

"office? Oh, uh, i-iya Miss, I'm a new employee in the office," the driver replied slightly stammered.

My feelings are getting more and more unsettled. I feel like I have a bad feeling. And sure enough, a moment later the car we were riding stopped, there were two men coming in. One sat in front of the other one sitting in the back next to me.

"Who are you?" I started to worry.

And suddenly the man sitting next to me smothered my mouth with a handkerchief. A moment later I lost consciousness and remembered nothing else.

...

I woke up in a very strange room. My head feels dizzy, like it's about to break.

"He was conscious" said someone.

"Goodoo. The boss is coming soon. Let's just wait outside, he's conscious, too" replied the other person.

Then I heard the door shut. It seems like the two guys have already come out. I slowly got up and sat down with my body. Still holding my head, it still feels dizzy.

"I'm where is this? God is so dizzy" I complained.

After a while, I started to control myself. His dizziness also gradually disappeared. Suddenly the door opened. And how surprised I was to see who was coming.

"Sir Raka? Sister Celine?"

"You're aware of Shei?" ask Raka.

"What the fuck? Brother kidnapped me, didn't he?" I started to get emotional.

"Hey, patient darling. You're just fighting for you, the one you loved long ago."

"What does big brother mean? I married brother. I've always said that I don't love my brother."

"Silence you're a cheap woman. You took Steven's brother away from me" cried Celine.

"Hey, don't be rude to my woman. Remember our agreement. You get Steven I get Sheila, don't let anyone get hurt" Raka said.

I was getting angry to hear the words of Raka. Immediately I got out of bed and approached the two of them.

"What do you really mean?"

"Hey, don't be so angry. We just put everything back in the position it should be. Return the exchanged soul mate, hahaha," said Raka ended his laughter with Celine.

"No soul mate has been exchanged, all by the will of Allah SWT," I replied bitterly.

"Don't bring God. Steven's brother is only mine, you've taken him from me. And I'm just trying to take back what's mine" Celine said.

"You two are crazy" I said and tried to beat up Raka.

Raka managed to fend off and catch my hand easily. Didn't lose my mind and kicked his crotch with his knee. Taking advantage of Raka's opportunity to fight my pain and push Celine and rush to run out of this room.

Luckily there were no guards standing by around the room I was in. But when I saw two people running towards me, I rushed to the front door.

I managed to get out, but unfortunately some guards confronted me. Trying to rebel, but soon Raka was out of the house.

"Detachable. Let go of me" I cried in rebellion as two men blocked my hand.

"Enough Shei. I've been kind to be kind but this is your reply" Raka said.

Raka took over blocking my hand and trying to pull me back inside the house.

"Please sis. I don't want to. Let go of me."

I heard a noise. And I saw Mas Steven fighting with Raka's men up ahead. Not long after, Danny followed.

"Mas Steven," I shouted in excitement.

"Sheila," replied my husband on the sidelines of his fight.

Raka kept trying to pull me in but I kept rebelling with all my might. Not long after, Steven arrived near us.

"Take off my wife, b*jing*n," he yelled as he beat Raka hard in the face.

Raka staggered and her cheque in my hand came off. I immediately hugged my husband.

"Mas Steven," I cried.

"Aren't you pa-pa, honey?"

Stretching a hug, Mas Steven cupped both of my cheeks. I shook my head. Steven then kissed my forehead inside.

Bugh.

"Aaarrghh," I was shocked to see Mas Steven staggering from being hit with a wooden beam.

"You get out of the way, baby, find a safe place" Mas Steven ordered.

I could only nod while still crying then retreat backwards, looking for a place that would have been safer while continuing to hold my stomach. We try to protect our children from the outside.

Mas Steven again fought with Raka and two of his men. I saw Mas Steven seem overwhelmed. In my cry I prayed in my heart, pleading with God for my husband's salvation.

Celine suddenly came out of the house.

"Sir Steven," he cried in surprise. "Raka remember your promise, don't hurt Steven."

Raka paid no heed to Celine's cries. Feeling furious Celine then walked up to me and slapped me.

Plaque.

"Aakht."

"Sheila," cried Mas Steven.

"It's all because of you. Damn woman," Celine shouted and pushed me.

I staggered back but didn't fall. Celine suddenly pulled a gun out of her bag and pointed it at me.

"Don't move! Stop everyone!"

I heard a scream and I saw a glimpse of the police coming to help. I am grateful in my heart.

"You must die, brother Steven is only mine," Celine said with a terrifying grin.

"Wait for me, please don't do that" I asked.

Dorr.

"MAS STEVEN, "" I shouted as loudly as I saw Mas Steven suddenly standing in front of me and receiving a bullet pointed at me.

"Oh no, Steven," Celine fell down, shocked to see it all.

Steven fell in front of me. I immediately grabbed onto Mas Steven's head and grabbed him. My tears are shedding more and more to see the condition of my husband. Blood kept flowing from Mas Steven's back.

Several police officers immediately arrested Celine and Raka. They also secured the gun Celine used as evidence.

"Mas," call me soft.

"M-mas is not pa-pa dear," replied Mas Steven stammered.

Slowly Mas Steven's consciousness began to disappear and was unconscious in my lap.

"Mas Steven, Mas," I'm calling in a panic.

"We're taking Steven to the hospital right now Shei" said Danny, who approached me.

I couldn't answer anymore, just kept crying. Mas Steven picked up his men heading to the car. Danny helped me up and then grabbed me. In the car I held onto Mas Steven's head, I held his hand tightly. Do'a never broke my heart for my husband's safety, along with the tears that kept flowing.
