The dawn has come, replacing the dark night with a radiant morning. There was the sound of roosters crowing. The atmosphere of the village on the beach is still quiet and calm. Only a few people have started their activities. And there were also some fishermen who came home from the sea.
Haura had already woken up and prepared breakfast food for her family. Everyone in the house was awake except Adam. After the dawn prayer, Adam slept again because he was tired. Haura accidentally hasn't woken her husband, because she knows Adam is very tired. The whole night the man couldn't sleep. Because of the heat and the mosquitoes that bother him. Haura was a little pity, surely the man was very uncomfortable sleeping in his small and hot room.
"Where's your husband, Ra?" asked Ibrahim as he sipped his coffee.
"Still asleep, Dad. Mas Adam couldn't sleep last night" Haura replied with a small laugh.
"Oh, yeah let it go."
"I'm sorry, Dad. Adam's just not used to living here."
"Yes Ra. Its nothing. This place is very different from your home. Understandable father. Father's son-in-law wants to come and I'm very grateful" said Ibrahim.
"How's Ra, you're happy with your marriage?" ask Ibrahim. Haura blushed in embarrassment. The woman realized that she was beginning to feel happiness, to live happily with Adam. Not at the beginning of a marriage, just because of a forced marriage. I don't know when he started to love Adam.
"Yes Well," replied Haura happily.
"Dad wishes you were always happy. I hope you are a good wife to your husband. Be a dutiful wife, son. Never deny his word or command" Abraham advised.
Haura was stunned because of her father's words. Guilt now disturbed his heart, he had refused to serve Adam. Just because of his bad thoughts that Adam thought he was doing with Isabella. So that he doesn't want to be touched. Haura promised, she will change. She will try to be a good wife.
Haura imagined their next life would be filled with happiness.
"Ba-good Dad. God willing, Rara will try to be a good wife to Adam."
"Good Boy."
"Alhamdulillah, Rara has accepted Adam. May they both always be blessed." - Ibrahim.
***
"Darling, I'll go home?" adam's pamit is now neat.
"Yes, be careful on the road."
"Dad, Adam put Haura here huh? Sorry Adam had to leave it here. Because Rara said she still misses Dad and still wants to be here. While Adam's work in the office is very much, can not linger."
"Yes Nak. Don't think about it. Or if you want to take him home, take him. Next time you can come here again."
"It's okay, Dad. Let Rara be here first, let her enjoy being with you first. With Adam, Rara can be every day. Yes, yes, Adam said. Afraid of arriving in Bandung." Adam glanced at the watch in his hand and immediately kissed his in-laws hand.
Haura approached and kissed Adam's hand. Adam held Rara in his arms for a while and kissed his wife on the forehead. Forgetting the whereabouts of her in-laws and sisters-in-law. Ibrahim smiled, Hana and Fauzan were elbowing at each other looking at the scene. They were both happy for their eldest brother. As for Haura who was treated like that, her face reddened in embarrassment.
Later, Hana and Fauzan join her sister-in-law in greeting. Adam soon left the village to return to his town for work. Leaving his beloved wife in his hometown.
***
"Sister, come on we play on the beach" Hana and Fauzan whined at Haura.
"Still hot Hana, Uzan. The weather's so hot."
"Come on Brother, not Brother here every day. I'll be back in Bandung soon."
"You can go both. Why force you to?" said Ibrahim who was sitting on the porch of their house to pay attention to the behavior of his two children.
Hana and Fauzan long for their togetherness. He has not played with his brother for a long time. Ibrahim's reply left both moody and disappointed. Haura who realized the disappointment of her sisters became heartless.
"Yes, Brother get ready. We play on the beach." Haura went into the house and took her veil. He soon went out and went to the beach with his two brothers.
They happily ran off on the beach. The beach is quite crowded, because many tourists come. Over time Haura felt tired, and chose to sit near her sister playing. Let his two sisters enjoy the beauty of the sea that afternoon.
Ten minutes later, a man approached Haura.
"Assalamualaikum Ra," said Alvian.
The man sat beside Haura. Haura immediately inched away, afraid of being slandered.
"When are you coming home?" ask Alvian.
"Eh, Rara's been here three days. Vian, why are you here?" ask Haura.
"Father is unhealthy. So I'm asking for a leave of absence."
"Oh my God, what is Uncle Zul sick?"
"Discourage Ra. The old man's disease." Alvian stared at the sea and glared far away.
"Ra, are you really happy?" ask Alvian to make sure.
"Hem," Haura replied briefly.
"lik! You're not happy, are you, Ra? I know you're not happy." Alvian suddenly pulled Haura's hand and grasped it tightly.
"Vian, don't do this! I'm the wife of the Vianites. Release!" Haura attempts to release Alvian's hand, but fails. He lost to the man's power.
"Don't lie, Ra. You have been suffering all this time, right? Adam doesn't love you, does he? I know your husband has a relationship with the famous model Isabella."
"Vian, release!" snapped Haura emotion.
"Vian, this is in the village not in the city. What would people say if they saw me married and you together."
"Ra, you haven't answered my question. Right, Ra? You're not happy? Leave your husband Ra. And back to me. I'll accept you for who you are." Alvian begging for love with Haura.
"Vians! It's none of your business. And I will never be with you forever. I'll never be separated from Adam." With all his might Haura let go of Alvian's hand.
The man was disappointed, and hurt again. The woman of his heart had changed, not like the Haura he knew. Drowning, Alvian looked at Haura who seemed to hate him.
"Hana, Uzan," cried Haura calling her two younger siblings, ignoring Alvian who was still staring at her bitterly.
"Let's go home!" take Haura after the two turn. They both ran towards her brother.
"Sister has to cook for dinner. We go home, right? Tomorrow again play," Haura persuaded. At first glance, he looked at Alvian with a look of dislike.
The three left from that place leaving Alvian who was still staring at the pain of Haura's departure.
Meanwhile, in another part of the beach, there are lovers who are enjoying the beauty of the sea. When her boyfriend asked to take a picture. He accidentally saw someone he knew being together. Haura and Alvian. Soon he took a cell phone and captured images of Haura and Alvian holding hands. Quite a number of the man took pictures, which were either going to be used for what.
