NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN S1/S2
Chapter 24. Don't Approach Any Man!
Farhan went into the room. Rachel was lying in bed. The man washed his face and went up to the bed.
Farhan tilted his body towards his wife. Touching Rachel's arm, woke the woman up.
"Rachel, are you asleep? There's something I want to ask" Farhan said softly as he shook his wife's body gently.
Rachel opened her eyes. Smiling at her husband.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Rachel.
"Do you know Reno?" ask Farhan.
"Why do you still ask that? I didn't know him before I met him here, Mas."
Farhan got up from his sleep and sat leaning on the head of the bed. So did Rachel, following what her husband was doing.
"I don't like you being close to other men. I know you used to be close and even have sex with all the men. But you need to remember, now you have become my wife. Forget your old habits. Appreciate yourself if you want to be appreciated by men. I deliberately made you my wife, to raise your degree, so I hope take care of that, don't you drop yourself again with that flirtatious attitude of yours!" farhan.
Hearing Farhan's words, Rachel's chest felt tight. He took his breath in. She is aware of who she used to be, but since marrying Farhan, she has been trying to forget all her past. Why does her husband still doubt that? His faith is still up and down, not perfect.
Sometimes he still complains about everything that happened, but that doesn't mean he's still the way he used to be. Rachel's been trying to keep her distance from any man.
"Mas, I know and realize who this is. I am so grateful that you raised my degree and made me your wife. For God's sake, Mas. It has never been in this heart to approach any man. I've been trying to change as much as I can, why do you still doubt me?" rachel asked in a hoarse voice. He tried to hold back the tears. Not crying in front of your husband.
"I don't doubt you, just remind. Don't forget that your current status is my wife. Take care of my good name. Remember Rachel, a lot of guys who know you might even sleep with you, so I want you to keep your distance from any guy, to avoid having any one of them recognize you!" farhan.
Rachel felt her chest tightening to hear her husband's words. "Don't worry, Mum. I will never forget who this despicable me is. I will always keep your good name. From today I will not show my face to anyone. I also want to try to escape from the shadow of my dark past" Rachel said in a trembling voice.
He stood up and went into the bathroom. I don't want to hear anything else from her husband. Rachel would not cry in front of her husband. He doesn't want to look weak.
Unconcerned by Farhan's presence, Rachel performs a night prayer. She tried to refrain from saying anything to her husband. Fear of saying unwanted words.
After the prayer, Rachel prayed with eyes that kept flowing down her cheeks.
"O Allah, to this day I am still grateful, You still give me life. My heart is still beating. My heart still feels. My mind is still thinking. If there are two words I want to say today to the Creator, I'm sorry, for all the sins and sins I have committed in Your earth and Thank you for all the opportunities and pleasures of life that you still give. Oh God, just set your best scenario. I just begged to strengthen me under any circumstances. Please be patient in any process. And express me in whatever outcome it is. I believe in Your destiny."
After praying, Rachel laid her body without caring for Farhan. Though he knew, the man had not slept and kept looking at him. Rachel turned her back to Farhan while sleeping. Although he knew it was a sin, but all for the sake of maintaining his sanity.
"If you had known Mas, what it would have been like to fall asleep in tears with such a chaotic feeling. And a heart full of hope that when you wake up, everything will be fine but what happens instead should. It hurts, Mas," Rachel said in her heart.
