Medina sat quietly on the bench of a park not far from the hotel. His man looked far ahead.
Meanwhile beside Medina, Farah did not budge. He was also silent after nearly an hour and Medina spoke from heart to heart. All at the request of Medina.
The flashback
After Daniel leaves, Medina asks Syifa's nanny to book a taxi online.
"Mama Niel didn't come home?" Syifa asked as she and her nanny got into the car while Medina was still standing next to the car.
"Mama Niel has not said goodbye to Oma Melani. Mama will come home." Medina kissed Syifa's forehead.
The little girl nodded softly with her sad face.
"Don't put on a sad face. We'll go another time. Okay?" Entertain Medina.
And before Syifa's car and her nanny left, Medina told the nanny not to say anything to the people at home.
"Good, Mom." Understand next.
Medina took a deep breath. Step back into the restaurant. He was looking for Farah where they had lunch.
"You?" Farah was shocked when she saw Medina coming.
"Can we talk? Both and not here."
Farah smiled. He wanted to make Daniel's wife jealous, he thought.
"Where are we going?" Farah asked when they were in Farah's car.
"Middle town park." Medina answered without looking at Farah.
After they arrived, the two of them walked in silence.
"You want to talk to my husband, don't you? I'll give you a chance." Medina said after they sat on one of the benches in the middle of the park.
Farah laughed faintly at Medina's words. "You're very confident."
"I'm just trying to give my husband what you asked for. Because I know, my Daniel will reject you." Medina said.
Somehow knowing if the woman in front of him is the part of her husband who gives wounds. Medina was not accepted.
"You know how a Daniel loves. You shouldn't have wasted it."
"I'm giving you a chance to explain your past misunderstandings. Isn't that what you want?" Medina looked over at a glance and her gaze returned straight ahead.
There was a sense of unwillingness when Medina saw her husband's attitude change after meeting his former fiancee. Her husband's past emotions and wounds were again torn apart. Medina was completely unwilling. But he also cannot be selfish. She should still give them space even if she knew, her husband would refuse.
"Aren't you afraid I'm taking your husband?" The two look at meet.
"However.we have felt the sweetness of love together for a long time." Farah said confidently. Actually he did not expect much, but he did not want to look guilty in front of Medina.
"And you destroyed her love and her trust." Medina said softly but silently as if slapping Farah.
"And don't forget one thing. My Daniel.is a faithful romantic man with one love." Medina smiled beautifully making Farah speechless a thousand languages.
What Medina said was true. Daniel is the type of faithful man with one woman if he already loves.
Medina got up from her seat and looked at Farah who was still sitting in her place.
"You don't know anything." Farah began to growl.
"Then I gave you a chance." Medina left Farah who was being shrouded in an irritated mist.
He wrongly underestimated the woman named Medina. She thought Medina was a melancholy woman. Who will cry wailing when they know the masala and she is with her husband.
Flashback off
Medina turned on the air conditioner when she entered the apartment that was two months old. But still maintained because Daniel hired someone to always clean the apartment.
Medina began to remove her hijab and clothes. Then go into the bathroom. According to him, soaking with the aroma of therapy can refresh his body.
After nearly half an hour, Medina came out of the bathroom and was shocked when someone's hand pulled her up and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry for leaving you." Said the owner of a heavy voice that was no stranger to Medina.
"You okay, huh? I'm so worried about you." Daniel kissed Medina's face, hands, head in a row until Medina's towel almost came off.
"I miss this place. That's why I'm here." Medina smiled beautifully making the man before her feel even more guilty.
"I'm sorry, Honey." Only those words came out of Daniel's lips. He pulled his wife's body back into his arms.
"Sister.I'm claustrophobic." Daniel did not care about his wife. He lifted Medina's body and took her to bed.
"My phone's dead, so I can't reach you." Medina said when she saw Daniel's eyes. She understood the look of her husband.
Daniel lowered his head, his lips greeting Medina's forehead, nose, and soft lips.
"Sister...I'm hungry." Medina said as Daniel was about to lower his kiss towards Medina's emblazoned white neck.
"What do you want to eat?" Daniel stroked Medina's stomach.
"Steak meat restaurant downstairs. I want her." Medina smiled beautifully.
"OKAY. Anything else, princess?" Daniel asked with a seductive look.
Medina opened the drawer beside the bed and took out the paper and pen. Then he wrote down some of the food he wanted to eat from his favorite restaurant.
"Are you sure you're gonna spend it all?" Daniel asked with a slightly surprised face with the list of foods his wife wanted.
"Of course." Medin replied while chuckling.
"Wait a minute princess." Daniel kissed Medina on the forehead and went out of the room to contact the restaurant.
"Why wear clothes?" Daniel went back into the room and saw his wife sitting on the couch in her clothes.
"Give him a chance to explain." Medina said as Daniel sat next to her.
"Who are you talking about?" Ask Daniel pretend .
"Farah wants a chance, right? I've spoken to him. I want to give him a chance to talk to you." Medina's voice sounded slow.
Medina waited for the reaction of her husband who was just speechless.
"If you don't have any feelings for him, why should you avoid him?" Medina's question made Daniel laugh.
"Why laugh?" Medina was upset with her husband laughing.
"Master's jealous?"
"Of course I'm jealous. A wife will definitely react if her husband meets an ex. Isn't that natural?" Medina hit her husband's arm and Daniel pulled Medina into his arms.
"Don't go like that. I'm so worried." Lirih Medina was quiet but her voice could still be heard by Daniel's ears.
"I'm sorry, Honey." Daniel cupped his wife's face and stared at her.
"Does my brother love me?" This question escaped Medina's tiny lips.
"Hey..what is that question? You doubted me?"
"I was surprised to meet him there. It just makes my emotions just show up." Denying Daniel.
"I'm sorry..." Daniel kissed Medina's face. He knew that the hormones of pregnancy made his wife more sensitive. And Daniel avoided that.
"I love you.love you so much. You are the most beautiful gift God sent for me and my mother." Daniel kissed Medina's forehead.
"Master princess still doubts servant?" Medina smiled then shook her head quickly.
"I love you so much, my prince." Medina drowned her face in the chest of her husband, her favorite spot.
The two drowned in a warm embrace and calmed each other down. The most beautiful place for halal couples is hugs that give each other a sense of comfort and warmth.

Meanwhile, in another place, Mother Melani looked dreamy. He remembered all Daniel had said to him. He did not expect, if Daniel and Farah ever had a relationship even almost engaged.
"Mom...why are you?" Ask Mr. Sanjaya.
"I....I'm fine, Mom." His lie.
"Did something happen to Medina? You guys have a show together, right?" Investigate mr. Sanjaya. He knew his wife was hiding something.
"Have you met Farah?" Bu Melani asked to switch their conversation.
"Yes.so he came to my office." Mr. Sanjaya replied a little reluctantly.
"What's wrong?" Ask Mr. Sanjaya again. This time his eyes looked different.
"Buck...." Melani's mother began to tell everything she had just known to Mr. Sanjaya.
"What?" Pekik sir Sanjaya who was very surprised by all the stories of his wife.
"They were even almost engaged but somehow Farah suddenly left their engagement party unilaterally." Continue Ms. Melani.
"I don't believe this." Said Mr. Sanjaya while massaging the trunk of his nose.
"Daniel was just as surprised as I was. He doesn't know, if Farah is your nephew, Mas. That means, Medina and Farah are cousins."
"Did something happen to my daughter? He must know how Daniel was." Mr. Sanjaya is worried.
"Daniel was in shock and emotion after meeting Farah. Then. he left Medina."
"What?"
Mr. Sanjaya took out his cell phone and immediately contacted the men assigned to guard Medina.
"Young Lady was in the apartment with Mr. Daniel." Answer the bodyguard after Mr. Sanjaya inquires about the performance of his men.
"Observe them. I won't let you go if my daughter's in danger." Threaten sir Sanjaya.
"How's it?" Ask Melani's Mom.
"They were in the apartment. I'll be there to make sure my daughter's condition." Said Mr. Sanjaya.
"I'm coming, Mas." Mr. Sanjaya nodded and they left the house.

"Hon....I'll meet Danu's sister downstairs." Whisper Daniel.
"Why didn't Danu come straight here?" Ask Medina. He pulled out a blanket to cover his innocent body. Because they just finished making love.
"Syifa must have told her father about it." Daniel smiled watching his wife's movements.
Daniel saw his wife close her eyes again. "I'm down for a second, yeah." Daniel kissed Medina's lips before he got out of bed.
After cleaning himself and changing clothes, Daniel came out of his apartment and headed to the cafe under the apartment.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Danu who was sipping his coffee immediately stopped.
"How's Medina?"
"He's very good. Even we just finished making love." Daniel answered with a big smile. Make Danu throw a punch on his sister's arm.
"Issh.you're this."
Daniel believes his brother must have known about Farah.
"I was surprised to see him at the hotel with Medina and her mother. My emotions suddenly just came out." Daniel took a long breath.
"Arif said you lost Medina."
"And I found my wife here." Answer Daniel lightly.
"Daniel...."
"Farah and Medina turned out to be cousins." Daniel looked at his brother seriously.
"What??" Danu immediately stood up from her seat because she was so surprised.
"How can you?" Danu sat back in her chair.
"I found out when I talked to Melani's mother. And that's what's left me in shock." Daniel rubbed his face.
"Did Melani's mother know your mass with Farah?" Danu asked curiously and Daniel answered with a nod.
"I told you that." Answer Daniel.
Danu was dumbfounded and almost speechless. He finally looked at his sister with a sharp look..
"Medina should immediately be told the truth. We can't put it off continuously. We keep lying to him." Danu.
"What if Medina is in shock and has her health and our baby in trouble?" Daniel seemed very worried.
"What's there for you, huh? You brat!" Danu's joke makes Daniel smile stiffly.
"What's wrong?" Danu looked at her sister who looked agitated.
"Medina wants me to talk to Farah." Daniel looked at his brother. Then he sighed softly.
Danu knew this was hard for her sister. After the deep wounds that Farah cut for Daniel and his mother. It does not rule out the possibility, if Daniel still feels hurt and disappointed in Farah. And it must have caused its own emotions for his sister.
"Remember Medina's request at the beginning of your relationship?" Danu asked his sister.
Daniel nodded slowly. His breath was heard again.
"I'll try it." Daniel said before he left his brother there.
Daniel went back to his apartment. Today's incident made him feel very guilty for his wife. Not wanting Medina to be sad, Daniel felt he was not yet a good husband to Medina.
