NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN S1/S2

Chapter 39. Father and Mother

Farhan still did not believe what he heard. Rachel's hand was clasped and held tightly.

"Rachel, don't say that. You know'kan if something that is (basically) halal but highly hated (or most hated) Allah SWT is talak (divorce).”

"But if in domestic relations there is no longer a way out and a solution, then divorce can be taken as the last step. Is it not lawful to do it because there is a cause for consequence?" ask Rachel again.

"Rachel, I know I've been hurting your heart a lot, but please consider everything. Don't make decisions when your heart is angry."

"If Mas realized that it has hurt me many times, why still repeat it? Is it because I am not the woman you love so no matter how much pain I feel because of your words and deeds. I've got to pretend to smile when this heart hurts, Mas!" rachel said with great emphasis.

Unbeknownst to them, father and mother had stood behind the door. Dad held mom in when they heard Rachel asking for a divorce. Even if they didn't hear from the beginning.

"Rachel, I'm sorry. We can start all over again. I'll try to hold back this speech" Farhan said.

"Free, Mas. You have said sorry repeatedly but still you repeat everything. Why else do we try from the beginning, if I can finally guess. As long as your heart and mind are only with Andin, I will definitely be the one to get hurt. Honeymoon alone, your mind is filled with Andin, so invite your friends to look at the place of your memories with the woman," said Rachel stammered for holding a piece in the chest.

In her shadow, the wedding and honeymoon were definitely as fun and beautiful as in heaven. But, it all turns out NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN. The husband she hoped would lead her to heaven but only the hell of the world she gave.

"Mas, you are able to run with a smile, while I am still unable to hold you, because for you my condition is a nothing that never existed. Loving a yak does not love us the same as hugging a cactus tree, the more you will be hurt. I didn't leave because I didn't love you, but because you preferred her. I let you go with Bismillah, I'm sure this is the best way for us. After we split up, you can get in touch with Andin without having to think about where I am" Rachel said.

Suddenly the door of the room opened. Farhan and Rachel's eyes immediately turned towards the door. Both of them were shocked to see who was coming.

In a hurry, my mother approached Farhan. Mother then hit her son's arm repeatedly to make Farhan and Rachel became astonished.

"Tell me, what have you been doing with Rachel? I'm ashamed to have a child like you. Do you know what marriage means?" mother asked, still beating her son.

Farhan understood why she hit him. It must have been the woman who had given birth to her that had heard the chatter of her and Rachel.

I pulled my hand away from Farhan. Unexpectedly all of the father's hands floated up, slapping his son's cheek.

"Do you know what marriage means?" ask Dad. Farhan only lowered his head without daring to look at his parents.

"Listen well, marriage is a noble and sacred thing, meaning worship to Allah, following the Sunnah of the Prophet and carried out on the basis of sincerity, responsibility, and following the provisions of the law that must be heeded. Husbands who hurt their wives will be hated by Allah SWT and get a big sin that makes his body rejected into heaven. A husband is obliged to treat the wife as the attitude of Prophet Muhammad SAW to his wives. You should fuck that up. I think you know it all, but your brain rejects the truth just because of your love!" say father with great emphasis.
