Ara got off the taxi online Narto directly greeted ustadz Arif, and the other foundation administrators. Not to forget also mbok Imah, Tito and and some orphanage children.

They smiled at Ara's arrival.

Ara returned their smiles. He felt very happy to be able to visit again to his parents' house which was now turned into a large and magnificent orphanage foundation.

"Assalamualaikum" he said politely and kindly.

"Waalaikumsalam," they answered almost simultaneously.

The orphanage child who was there immediately stormed to kiss his hand.

Ara smiled as she rubbed their heads one by one.

"Let's go in, miss" said Ustadz Arif.

"Thank you ustadz. How are the children and their development ?"

"Alhamdulillah everything is healthy Miss! Children continue to practice honing their skills and skills in creativity. In accordance with the creative idea that Miss gave. Every holiday children make various types of gourmet and other creations. We're trying to sell at various stalls around the parlors,"

"That's very nice ustadz. Provide continued skill training for them. The skills they get here insyaallah will be their provision in the future," said Ara happy.

They continue to talk between steps around every room and corner of the Orphanage building to just greet children, foundation administrators, teachers, ustadz/usazah, and other residents of the orphanage.

Not to forget also Ara visited the tomb of the eternal resting place of his parents. Sending prayers and talking greetings as he usually does during a visit.

After touring the orphanage and visiting the graves of her parents, Ara was immediately escorted by Mbok Imah to her room on the second floor.

Mbok imah said, the donor deliberately made a private room for Ara on the second floor. As a place to rest every time you come to visit.

That's what the foreman said when building this building.

The room is quite spacious for Ara, size 10x10 is equipped with beautiful furniture, luxurious facilities.

"Miss Ara, what are you going to eat this afternoon? Prepare it later!" ask mbok Imah.

"What is there mbok. I will join the child and the others" Ara said as she took off her shoes.

Then head to the refrigerator to get some drinking water. Then to the bathroom change the clothes that are already available in the bathroom cabinet. So he no longer needed to bring clothes when he came here.

A few minutes he came out wearing his favorite house dress, a knee-length negligee with no arms.

Mbok Imah put his shoes on the shoe rack.

"The kids are done with lunch. Miss's food will be delivered here huh?"

"Well, but a little bit."

Mbok Imah nodded.

"Miss want to take a break ?"

"Yes mbok, after Friday prayers I will go home. Today my sister-in-law is getting married, so I have to hurry back," lying on the bed while closing my eyes.

Mbok Imah watched him with a smile, then immediately went down to take his master's lunch.

Ara's phone is ringing. He opened his eyes, then immediately grabbed the flat object near the pillow.

Video call from doctor Rizal.

Ara immediately picked it up.

"Hello sister-in-law." Rizal's voice from across.

"Hello doctor, assalamualaikum." he replied while rubbing his eyes.

"Waalaikumsalam, where are you Ra? Looks like you're sleeping, huh? Am I interrupting?" Rizal noticed the background behind Ara.

"No doctor, just lying alone waiting for prayer time. I'm at my parents' house again! What's the doctor calling?"

"I want to see your pretty face. I haven't seen you in a long time, miss!" Rizal teases from across.

Ara laughed a little.

"Doctors can do it!"

"True Ra, I miss it. Your face. Close the camera, I want to see your full face." Rizal joking with a small smile.

Ara laughed again, then immediately brought the camera closer to her face.

Rizal watched his face closely.

"Your face is a little pale, your panda eyes are too

looks, but your beauty doesn't count." back to flirting.

Ara chuckles.

"Udah ah, the doctor joked mutely. I want to take a shower, just pray Dzuhur."

"Alright sweet lady, I just want to make sure you're in shape. Your sister-in-law said you were sick. He told me to come to the main house. But when I got there, you weren't there. How are you doing?"

"I'm just flu docks, and it's a little warm. I took the medicine my friend bought at the pharmacy. Sorry for bothering you." Ara got up to take her drinking bottle, then gulped it down slowly.

"I brought you some medicine, I gave it to Sam sir."

"Oh yes, thank you doctor. I'll be back after Friday prayers. Oh, doctor, can I?"

"You ask what, baby?"

"Did the doctor know today that Rafa's getting married?"

"Yes I already know. He called me and asked me to come. Why Ra? are you sad that she's getting married?" trying to guess Ara's feelings for Rafa.

"Why is it sad? Instead I am happy and happy finally Rafa's brother will get married. The doctor himself knew for a long time that my mother wanted Rafa to be married to Levina. And finally my mother's wish will be fulfilled today."

"Keep what do you want?"

"I just wanted to ask, what time is sister-in-law's wedding? You see, I have not been told, while I was in my village" said Ara.

"If not wrong after magrib. Just relax, don't rush home. I'll tell you again."

"Oh yes doc, please let me know immediately. Thanks in advance."

"Oke Ra, I hang up the phone first, you're good there huh?"

"Yes doctor. By... assalamualaikum!"

"Guilipinam,"

Ara immediately turned off the phone.

He turned to the small gift wrapped neatly and beautifully, lying on the nightstand. Rafa and Levina's wedding anniversary

"Sister-in-law is angry, don't I use the money to buy the gift?" muttered worriedly. Because the price of the gift is very expensive.

Ara put down her phone, then went into the bathroom flushing her body clean. Soon the Friday prayer time will be started, because it has been heard chanting the holy verse of the Quran from the Panti mosque.

Somewhere else.

Rizal took a heavy breath, then turned his head to the side of Rafa who was sitting next to him.

"Ara is fine. It seems like he has no feelings for you. He only thinks of you as his sister-in-law!"

"I really didn't expect the boss, you could fall in love with your own sister's wife. Even when she's Raka's wife, do you still love her? Don't you feel guilty for Raka for loving her in silence all this time?!"

Vishnu raised his face staring at him.

"Sorry Doctor, I've told you many times, mr. Rafa did not know that Miss Ara was the future wife of Mr. Raka at that time.Mr Rafa had already loved Miss Ara long before Miss Ara became the wife of Mr. Raka! You don't keep blaming Mr. Rafa" he said unhappily.

"Ah shut up, you fucking secretary. You two are just as jerks hiding this from me. I've asked you many times before, but you covered it up from me!" rizal ketus said.

"How would Ara's heart know this?" he looked back hard at the two of them.

Rafa gave a rough breath.

"I have to how? I also felt very guilty for Raka. I've tried my hardest to forget Ara, let go of her after I found out she's Raka's wife. But I love him more and more. I can't get him out of my heart. I lost my spirit in life. I am getting tortured and suffering. Can't accept the fact that she's Raka's wife!" looking at Rizal sharply with eyes reddened with sadness.

"I even busied myself working hard day and night out of the country, in order to forget about it. But Ara's shadow always appeared in my eyes, on my paper. He cannot be lost from my heart and mind. My love is growing on him." Rafa lowered his head while pressing on his wet eyes with his fingers.

"I've never loved a woman like this. Though loving her made me sick and suffering." chest rumbles withstanding the cries.

"We shouldn't have attacked that night. I shouldn't have run away to the park that night. So that he did not meet her and fell in love with her. I even took her first kiss that night. She cried and begged me not to kiss her and get away. But I hugged him tighter and tighter, not wanting to let go," again sighed sadly.

Rizal who is upset so sad to see the suffering of this friend and boss.

"You remember when she came to the hospital to see you that night to donate her blood to Aunt Mia?"

Rizal looked at him with a frown.

Remembering the incident Ara came with Ines to donate blood.

"Well.I remember!" said later.

"That night was the first night I met her in the park, snatched her first kiss, and fell in love with her. Maybe at that time he was waiting for Raka, but instead I came to see him first." looked at Rizal.

"Master, you don't blame yourself. Maybe God has arranged everything. God has arranged for your meeting with the young lady, in a way that brought you two together that night. Maybe young Miss is indeed the match that God chose for you. I am very sure of that! With the departure of young master Raka, God gives you the opportunity to have a young Miss!" vishnu.

"Don't you remember when the young master got out of the car to perform the Fajr prayer, the young master entrusted Miss Ara to you and asked you to look after her?" so Vishnu again reminded Raka's wishes before death to pick him up.

"Is that really vishnu?" Rizal made sure by staring fixedly at the face of Vishnu.

"Right doctor, it looks like it's a sign. Just then the face of the young master was pale. The young lady was very worried about her condition. Until the young lady forced to accompany him in the mosque, but the young master forbade. It seemed like the young master had already felt the mark of his death. He probably knew he was going to be gone forever. So before he got out of the car to pray, he advised Mr. Rafa to take good care of Miss Ara." continued Vishnu back.

Rizal looked at Vishnu's explanation, he understood the words of the secretary. Then hold Rafa's shoulder.

"It seems that this is indeed God's destiny and plan. Now just how and how do you try to convince Ara to want to marry you! You know Ara loves Raka" she said.

"Now let's go to his hometown, before he's back here. But first we pray Friday!" he came back while getting up.

.

.

Ara performed Dzuhur prayers together in the mosque after the men performed Friday prayers. After the prayer Ara saw there was busy in the male prayer room. It seems that Ustadz Arif was talking seriously with the village head and some of the fathers who were not known by Ara.

"Mbok, mr. ustadz and the village chief are talking to whom? It seems like they are talking about something important." asked Ara to mbok Imah who was folding his face.

"The father was an employee of the KUA office. And the other is the religious leader here." mbok Imah explained.

"Kua Officer?" ara's forehead shriveled

"Yes Miss."

"Will anyone get married in this mosque?"

"Yes, miss, I hear that! For the first time our mosque will be used to unite a pair of people in the sacred bond of marriage" said Mbok Imah smiling.

"Alhamdulillah mbok, we pray that the marriage will last forever and become a family of Sakinah mawadah warohmah! Aamiin." said Ara smiling happily.

"Yes Miss, Aamiin "

"Who wants to get married?" ask Ara again.

"If that's the mbok don't know Non. Ustadz Arif did not tell, a secret he said. because of the request of the bridegroom." said mbok Imah still with a meaningful smile on his face.

Ara was still staring towards Ustadz Arif and the guests. A little while later they immediately descended out of the mosque towards the princess dormitory building.

"Miss Ara will be able to see the wedding for a while" said mbok Imah back.

"What time will the wedding take place?"

"If it is not wrong then the kabul after the Ashar prayer."

"I don't think I could be able to mbok. Because I'll be back in Jakarta soon. I have received information from doctor Rizal that the wedding of Rafa will be carried out after the magrib. So after the Ashar prayer I will return. I've also called a taxi kang Narto to pick me up."

"Oh that's it Non, well that's okay" said mbok Imah with a smile that could not be separated from his face.

"I'm going to my room now mbok, I'm going to sleep for a while."

"Has Miss had lunch?"

"Not hungry yet. Just wake up and sleep!"

"Yes Non. Mommy, go back first."

Ara nodded, then immediately climbed up the stairs towards her bedroom. He was very sleepy because he had a lack of sleep last night. Plus his body is less fit. After removing his face he set an alarm at 15:00, continued to go straight up to the bed and lay down while clogging his two ear holes with a headset. It did not take long for him to fall asleep immediately, accompanied by the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an.

.

.

Levina looks very busy looking for kebaya and also Rafa suits that will be used in their wedding.

He berated Rafa for inviting marriage to arrive like this without any careful preparation.

Some boutiques have shown various models of kebaya both traditional and modern, but none of them look attractive in his eyes. She wanted to look beautiful and graceful to accompany Rafa so that not a single human eye would take her eyes off her.

Her marriage has spread among models and celebrities of the country.

Many congratulate and pray while expressing admiration for her for being lucky to be the wife of one of the very famous and influential wealthy businessmen. Handsome entrepreneurs who are much in the gilai and wanted models, artists and beautiful girls classy.

Not many also just respond in a relaxed and envious manner.

.

.

With the high speed of the luxury sports vehicle, Rafa arrived at the entrance of the Azahra Orphanage Foundation in just 1 hour.

Rizal has only come to his village for the first time so Ara does not know Ara's house. She's confused.

"Boss, why are we here?" ask Rafa while sweeping his eyes to the building of a large enough parlor.

"Here is where the young Miss lives doctor," replied Vishnu representing his master answering Rizal's question.

"In this Orphanage Ara lives?" rizal asked again.

"It used to be the home of young Miss's parents! But the young Miss has turned him into a foster home foundation. Because of a sense of concern for orphans, abandoned children who live on the streets, and children whose lives are not lucky" said Vishnu again explained.

"Let's read the inscription at the entrance." Vishnu pointed towards the gate.

Rizal turned his gaze towards the direction that Vishnu pointed.

"The Azahra Orphanage Foundation" said Rizal read the writing. He looked shocked

"So this foundation has Ara?" given the long name Ara is AZAHRA.

Vishnu nodded."Right doctor."

Rizal clucked in admiration.

"My brother-in-law Kereeeen is very. I'm sure my beautiful sister-in-law is indeed a good-hearted noble girl." she sighed proudly.

"But how did he never talk to me if he had this big orphanage foundation?"

"Do you know the nature and character of the young lady? Should I explain to the doctor again?"

"Yeah, I know, you don't have to explain." Rizal said with a sneer.

Ustadz Arif with mbok Imah who already knew the arrival of Rafa seemed to step in a hurry towards them. The state of pesantren is quiet, because some of its residents are taking a break during the day.

"Assalamualaikum pak ustadz." Rafa said

"Waalaikumsalam sir Rafa, let's

inside." answered ustadz Arif politely.

They follow Arif's steps

"Please enter Mr. Rafa." greet ustad Arif as soon as he arrives at the special building of the princess dormitory. They were let into the living room.

"Thank you, ustadz! Have you prepared everything?" rafa asked her about the readiness of her wedding file with Ara.

"Already sir, I have also conveyed to the head of KUA and the head of the village."

"Good, thanks. I have to talk to Ara first to tell her this marriage, because she doesn't know yet!"

"Good sir. Mbok Imah, please call Miss Ara..," ustadz Arif turned to mbok Imah.

"Miss is sleeping, she's soy sauce. It looks like Miss is not feeling well. After the prayer Miss immediately fell asleep, I did not have the heart to wake her up," said mbok Imah explained Ara's unhealthy state.

"Then do not need to wake up mbok! I'll wait for him until he wakes up" Rafa said. His face immediately looks anxious to hear the words mbok Imah who says Ara is not healthy.

"Maybe soon Miss will wake up. Because he's set an alarm at three. He said after the ashar prayer he would return to Jakarta to attend the wedding of the master." explained mbok Imah.

"Where is Ara's room, I want to see her because I'm worried about her condition." asked Rafa.

"Lord just go up the stairs, Non-Ara's room is upstairs."

"Thank you, I'm upstairs first."

"Yes sir, please..," said ustadz Arif and mbok Imah together.

"Hopefully you can convince him. Speak kindly from the heart, good luck" Rizal said patting him on the shoulder.

Rafa immediately got up from his seat and walked towards the stairs.

"Sir ustadz, can you take me to see this foundation?"

"Of course, doctor, let's go ahead..!"

"I really did not expect at a very young age to have become the founder of the foundation and become a foster mother of children in this orphanage." glanced at Vishnu.

Vishnu was indifferent and pretended not to pay attention to him

Rizal sizzles annoyed and immediately follows Arif's steps.

Mbok Imah left Vishnu because he had a job behind.

Vishnu stoodby in his place to wait for his master's orders.

.

.

Slowly Rafa turned the door handle, open.

"Why didn't he lock the door? what if someone comes in and does something bad?" muttered.

He opened the door slowly, entered and left the door open slightly.

For a moment his eyes swept around the room.

The size and shape of the room were in accordance with what the foreman ordered when making this room for Ara to occupy.

Then he got closer to the bed, sitting slowly by the side of the soft bed.

Pay attention to Ara's face that fell asleep along with a smooth snoring. The face was a little pale, bring her eyes a little dark.

Rafa lowered Ara's clothes that were revealed upwards.

Slowly he touched his forehead, slightly warm. Rafa cursed himself for being the cause of Ara's pain like this. Rafa put away some of the hair that covered her face, then gently touched Ara's face. She smiles.

"Mama says a lot better than you out there. But they're not like you. You are a perfect woman for me. You are everything I want, you mean so much to me, I really love you, I'm crazy about you ....I love you, I need you Azahra Radya Almira" he said softly.

He removed the headset that was in Ara's ear, hearing a moment of Ar Rahman's surah chanting.

His eyes turned to the small thing wrapped neatly and beautifully. Rafa grabbed the thing and read the word. Sayings and prayers for her marriage to Levina.

Rafa snorted furiously, torn the writing paper and in a strong squeeze, then dumped on the floor.

"I'm just going to marry you, I just need you to be with me forever until the end of time" she said as she looked at Ara. Rafa brought her face closer, continued to softly kiss Ara's lips, then switched to the nose of the eyes and forehead.

"I just need you in this world, to complete my life, to be my life companion forever" he said.

Slowly Ara opened her eyes as she felt movement and touch on her face. Ara was shocked when she saw a face that was very close to her face. He immediately woke up.

"Sister-in-law?" shocked after seeing the face of Rafa.

"You awake?"said Rafa with a smile, he was also shocked by the wake of Ara who arrived.

Ara stared confused."Is my brother here?" he said getting out of bed.

"Sister-in-law must have come here because she already knew I was using her credit card." she began to worry.

"I was here half an hour ago, watching you fall asleep." Rafa got up from his seat.

"What did you come here for? Brother, how do you know where I live?"

"What don't I know about you, Ara?" approaching Ara.

"Don't you like me coming to your house?" fixedly staring.

Ara nervously realizes her question which makes Rafa unhappy. He immediately smiled.

"Not like that, brother don't take it personally. I was just surprised to see my brother here. I should be preparing for my wedding with Levina, but it's here."

"I came here because I wanted to meet you" Rafa said.

"Don't you think it's because of that credit card?" inner Ara is back.

Rafa approached him again. Ara was nervous and retreated, but Rafa continued to step closer to her.

"It looks like rafa's brother is really angry." murmured Ara was getting scared

"Please don't be angry, brother, I promise I'll give it back." she asked.

"really?" Rafa looked at him fixedly.

Ara nodded despite the doubt.

"I want you to give me my money back as soon as possible." keep moving on.

Ara dumbfounded.

"Quickly? But that's a lot of it. It took me a long time to get it back, I can only take it out a little at a time."

"I have a solution for you, so that you can return my money as soon as possible." stopped in front of Ara who was no longer able to retreat because there was a wall behind her. Rafa brought his face closer.

Ara's getting scared."Don't get close" he said, beginning to worry. He pushes Rafa's body, but Rafa quickly catches his hand, closing in on their bodies.

"No, what do you want? Don't comenear. Just talk from afar." look at Rafa's wildly moving eyes staring at his face.

Ara quickly turned her back, worried that Rafa would kiss her.

Rafa smiled faintly.

"Turn Ara, don't turn your back on me. It's impolite for her name." she whispered with two hands in Ara's stomach.

"I don't want to. Brother back up first, then I turned around. I beg you to step back, don't get close like this, it's not good that someone will come in and see." trying to release the hand of Rafa who hugged her stomach tightly.

"Then I'll lock the door, let no one come in." whispered Rafa back in Ara's ear with a ignorant smile.

Huh huh? Ara aghast.

"Sister? ihhhh.." his screech was upset.

"Would you turn around or not?" said Rafa

Ara's upset."Why is my sister always like this to me? Brother likes to do what you want."

"Do what?" rafa's face crept.

"Son't you still nanya?" Ara was getting upset.

"Because I don't know what you mean!" Rafa smiled as if he did not understand.

Ara was silent, only her breathing sounded irregular.

"Do what you mean? let's say? are you afraid we're close like this?"

"Of course I'm scared. We should not be close like this.we are brother and sister-in-law. This is something not good. Maybe you used to do things like this to Levina and to other women, but please don't. I'm your sister-in-law." the voice started hoarse.

Dahi Rafa shriveled.

"What am I doing to the women out there? You think bad about me again? Tell me what do you mean, I did to Levina and that woman you meant Ara?"

Ara did not reply, having said a bad thing.

"Javab Ara....!" rafa said a little loudly because Ara was just silent, not answering.

Ara's chest was increasingly rumbling irregularly mixed with fear.

"So, I like to do what you want. Close close, hugging and smelling indiscriminately on women

Like now what you did to me. Brother should not be like this, brother already has a lover, soon want to marry. Should keep your distance and should not be close to other women including me. Is it because you have so much money and power that you can do what you want with every woman?" dare to talk.

Rafa growled furiously at his words. As forcefully as he turned Ara's body facing towards him, pressed down and locked this woman's body against the wall.

Continuing to hold onto Ara's frightened face, eyes closed in fear of seeing Rafa's face.

"I did what? Just because you saw me a few times with women and you kept me down?" close his face without a gap.

Ara looked down, nervous and scared.

"I-I didn't mean that...,"

"Then what? You think I'm that low?"

Ara did not reply, only nodding her head with her head bowed. The more biting his lower lip to suppress his fear.

"Ara, lift your head, open your eyes, look at me." Loud noise again.

"No way." bobbing heads.

"Do I need to force it? Raise your head, look at me, or kiss me," Rafa joked.

Ara snorted annoyedly at the threat. The threat Rafa always uses to force him to comply.

Slowly Ara raised her head. Make their eyes meet each other.

Rafa swallowed the saliva staring at the face in front of him.

Slowly she held gently onto Ara's face, uncovered her hair and slipped behind her ears, paying attention to every part of this girl's face. And stop at the lips that are red like a cherry.

"I'm not as bad as what you have in mind" he said softly.

"I've never done physical touch with women out there including Levina. I only did that to you, only to you Ara. Cherry's lips were so seductive that she went back to swallowing the saliva.

"Ara, I like you, I love you. Love you so much" he said quietly with earnestness.

Ara dumbfounded. Round-eye.

"Truly I love you Ara, I love you so much. Do you want to marry me?" rafa said back a look of hope.

Ara was back.

"A-what? married?" between believing and not with Rafa's request to get married.

A few seconds passed Ara laughed. I thought Rafa was joking.

"If you're joking, don't go too far! I know you used to say this to sister women, right? But not to me."

"I'm serious Ara, I'm not kidding. I'm serious, very serious. I really do love you. I'm just saying this to you, only to you."

"Is brother still sane? Okay, I better get home. Sister Levina must be in desperate need of a sister to prepare for your wedding!" still a little laugh. Pushing Rafa's body.

But Rafa pulled back his body.

"I don't need Levina or any other woman. I just need you in my life. I want you to marry me to be my wife!" holding Ara's hand that was trying to push her back.

"I am the wife of your sister, the wife of Raka, your sister-in-law. Don't make jokes that don't make sense" Ara said staring flatly.

"Raka's dead, he's no longer in this world!"

"Why then would my husband not be in this world? Does your sister want to be with me? huh uh?" pushing strong Rafa's body. Starting to get annoyed to feel like she's being demeaned like other women.

"Ara ... listen to me!"

"Sister is really outrageous, brother already has a lover but still seduce me?"

Ara's eyes were glassy.

"I don't love Levina...,"

Ara snorted in annoyance.

"So, you're a real jerk. You have been in a relationship for a long time as lovers. Last morning you asked her to get married, now you say you don't love her?" said with a raised voice, a sharp look.

"Big brother is a real jerk, asshole" said Ara while hitting Rafa's chest.

Rafa let it go and received the punch of the punch.

"I love you Ara, I just love you. I never asked Levina or any other woman to get married. All my life I've only told you this! I just love you, baby."

"No, quiet!" yell Ara loudly.

"Don't tell me that again!" emotion.

"I know you're used to saying things like this to other women. And you can say that to me too? I'm your sister-in-law. Brother is really outrageous." keep hitting start sobbing crying.

"Bad brother, big brother jerk. My brother hugged me, kissed me, took me to bed, peppered me without thinking about my feelings. Brother forced, I have no power to resist. I'm like a lowly woman, hugging into making out with my own sister-in-law. Brother thinks I'm like a cheap woman out there that you can wear all you want?" back to screaming with emotion. A few seconds later, she was crying.

Rafa was stunned at his words.

he immediately caught Ara's hand.

"No Ara, I don't think of you that way! You're not like them, baby. And trust me. I'm just doing physical touch with you, just you!"

"Is it with what I feel when we are in physical contact?" staring at Rafa sharply." I felt so low and worthless. I am very afraid and feel guilty for Raka and for Levina! Now please stay away from me, don't touch me again. Away me. Let me live a quiet life without pressure and guilt." sobbing.

Rafa was again astonished at the outpouring of anger.

"Take off...!" Ara tried to escape.

"Let go of me, loose ..." getting crying.

"No, I won't let go of you." quickly hugged Ara's strong body.

"I'm not letting go of you anymore, baby. I won't let you go away from me again. I've been tortured and suffered enough all this time because of you! This time I won't let you leave me again." further tightening his embrace, fearing that Ara would leave him again.

Among her cries, Ara was slightly surprised to hear Rafa's words.

"What's sister-in-law talking?" his inner.

"Ara, marry me. I beg of you. I really really love you dear." holding Ara's face gently staring lovingly and expectantly.

Ara swallowed her saliva.

"Stop saying that, brother, you better get home. Sister Levina must be looking for a sister. You're getting married soon."

"I won't marry Levina, I'll just marry you."

"Son, you got to him? Brother asked her to get married this morning, did you forget?"

"I never asked her to get married, I didn't ask her to marry me." loosened her arms, looked Ara in the face.

"It was true this morning that I said I wanted to get married and asked for my mother's blessing. But not with him. But I want to marry you! Try to remember what I said this morning! Did I mention his name? Did I ask her to marry me? no Ara..." Rafa said as he shook his head.

Ara's forehead shriveled, she recalled Rafa's words at the dining table. Rafa did not mention Levina.

"But why did you ask her to get married?"

"I have a reason for that."

"So you can play with a woman's heart." Ara was upset again.

"No Ara, it was their own will that came to me. I never responded to them."

"But you guys have been in contact for a long time. Sister Levina has also waited too long for big brother! He also loves his brother very much."

"He doesn't love me! I regretted ever choosing her to be my lover! I'm really really sorry I ever had contact with him."

"That's because you already love another woman, right? That's for sure.because you have a lot of beautiful women besides Levina."

"No Ara, it's not because of that, believe me, I have my own reasons."

"Well, I don't want to ask you why anymore. That's brother's business. Now please let me go. Please come out and go home....!" Ara did not want to argue anymore.

"No Ara, I'm not going home. I came here because of you! Ara.please marry me." Pinta Rafa returned.

"Don't say that again brother, I beg you,"

ara said annoyed again while covering her ears. He let go of Rafa's loose embrace and walked quickly towards the door.

"Come out." he said back without looking at Rafa, then opened the door.

"Please get out of my room right now" said back a little loudly.

While below, Ustadz Arif, Rizal and Vishnu who heard their debate since then seemed disappointed to hear Ara's rejection.

Rafa looked at Ara unmoved. Sad to be disappointed to be one. She was confused as to how to convince Ara to marry her.

But he won't give up. He didn't want to lose Ara anymore.

"Quick out" said Ara again with a sharp look.

Rafa immediately stepped quickly towards the door.

So close to the door, she immediately held onto Ara's strong nape and kissed her lips quickly, pressing firmly on Ara's lips.

Ara was aghast at the sudden attack.

Rafa used the opportunity to close the door and lock it, then kissed Ara again and hugged her tightly.

"I won't get out of here, nor will I let you go. We're both gonna lock ourselves in this room forever. Hugging, kissing, showering and sleeping together like last night." Rafa stared intently at the scare.

Ara was back.

"Don't it be like this, brother, why do you always impose your will? Take off, or am I gonna scream?"

"You want to scream? Let's shout.." said Rafa while unbuttoning his shirt to the stomach, until it looks the chest of his field is white stocky, six-pack stomach.

"W-what's sister doing?" Ara was startled and threw her gaze in the other direction. Then immediately turned back to back.

"Why don't you dare look at me? Don't you see my body naked like this? even you dare to touch it," said Rafa smiling seductively as he folded his shirt. Then he quickly hugged Ara's body from behind,

revealing Ara's hair and peeling her nape and neck strong.

Ara groaned with her body goosebumps.

"Even you have kissed her a lot." whispered Rafa back in Ara's ear. Licking for a moment Ara's earlobe while laughing inwardly. He could feel Ara's chest rumbling irregularly, her heart racing.

"Don't, brother," sighs Ara restrained. Body goosebumps.

He snorted annoyedly at Rafa's words.

"Who touched? My own brother who won't let me go. Brother always forced me." he said a little loudly

"Go away, get out of this room, otherwise I'll yell." he continued in annoyance.

"You want to scream? Let's scream, yell out loud. I like you yelling, so everyone will come here, see us close like this, cuddle up, kiss. That way they'll marry us off" Rafa said, challenging him instead. He smiled and again strongly kissed Ara's neck until it broke. Making a collection of works of his lips increasingly in the body of Ara.

Ara snorted in annoyance as she touched her sore neck.

"Sick brother, don't kiss me. Don't be like this. Brother scared me. Big brother always treat me like this, big brother likes to cuddle and kiss me." said Ara hoarsely began to cry.

Rafa's heart was withered hearing his sobbing.

"I'm sorry." hugged.

"Sister always apologizes, but again keeps doing it." as much as he pleased.

Rafa turned Ara's body facing him. Holding the soft face of Ara that was wet by tears.

"That's just my way of showing my love for you, baby!"

"It's not love, but out of pity. Brother pity me for watching me continue to grieve over the death of Raka's brother."

"No Ara, not because I feel sorry for you. Because I love you, baby. It's been a long time that I loved you long before you became Raka's wife" said Rafa looking softly at the sad face and sobbing down.

Ara's cry stopped hearing that remark. Slowly he lifted his face, looking into Rafa's eyes.

"What did you say?"

Rafa swallowed his saliva.

"Yes Ara, I have loved you for a long time, long before you became Raka's wife, before you became my sister-in-law. And all this time I've suffered so much for harboring my love for you."

Ara dumbfounded.

"Love me? How come? While we never met before I became Raka's wife. I don't know my sister at all." Ara took a step back releasing Rafa's grip.

"You don't know me Ara, only I know you." Rafa grabbed back his hand, in his grasp.

"Do you remember what happened to you that night in the city park?"

"Bad events in the city park at night?" ara's forehead shriveled.

"Yes, it's been a long time, two years ago. Do you remember who took your first kiss? At that time you were alone in the park waiting for someone, walking back and forth holding a jacket, then suddenly came a mysterious man brewokan, wearing sunglasses snatch your jacket, hugging you, then snatch your first kiss and kiss you forcibly to trick the thugs who chased him that night!"

Ara tried to remember what Rafa said, slowly Ara's memory began to open and remember the incident. The incident that had made her first kiss was forcibly snatched away by a man she did not know.

He looked at Rafa Lekat, his chest rising and falling irregularly. Now she clearly remembered the events of that night, and also the man who had taken her first kiss.

"So..the mysterious man who took my first kiss was my sister?" looking into Rafa's eyes.

"Yes Ara, that man is me. I took your first kiss, forced to kiss you, hugged you to distract my enemies." Rafa connected his sentence.

Ara was back. Unknowingly touching his lips as if he would feel back the long kiss of the night, hugging each other without a gap to avoid the enemies.

The man kept kissing her warm and deep. Hugging it gives protection.

Ara complained sadly while biting her lower lip.

She did not expect that the mysterious man was her brother-in-law.

Rafa took both of his hands.

"I was instantly blown away and fell for you Ara. My heart is shaking, my heart is pounding! I fell in love with you at that moment. A love I've never felt before."

Ara was flabbergasted, silent in silence, her lips felt faint. Only his breathing grew increasingly irregular roaring with teary eyes.

"Do you remember what I said before I left you? Ara do you remember?" Rafa touched his shoulder.

"Sister will be responsible for the kiss that sister made on me. Brother will be responsible." said Ara slowly. He still remembered what Rafa had said before leaving.

Ara again complained sadly.

"You're right. It's just that night I flew straight to Singapore to avoid chasing my enemies and treating my wounds. I still got a chance to see you running down the highway looking for a cab."

Rafa held his face back.

"From that night I began to fantasize about you, your sweet face, your shady eyes, your fears, your cries and cries. I started having trouble sleeping and eating because I kept thinking about you. I don't focus on working because I see your face on every piece of paper! You keep my world centered on you Ara. Where you always have been. Wherever or whatever I do and even when we don't know each other, I make sure I'm still thinking about you endlessly, I keep thinking about you,"

"Ara. You made my life colorful and flowering! I've never been this happy in my life, I've never felt this kind of love in my life! I began to follow you secretly, monitoring all your activities! I was so happy when I found out you went to my university. And I'm even happier after knowing your single status on campus. I went back and forth overseas all day just to look and take off my longing for you without even daring to show myself."

"And until the end, I began to prepare for my move to Indonesia, because for two years I lived abroad. I'm getting excited to go home to see you soon, tell you my love for you, want to propose to you, and soon to marry you make yourself my wife. I can't wait and can't stand my race to have you as soon as possible!"

Ara was again dumbfounded, staring fixedly without blinking a handsome face that was very similar to her late husband. A face that looks very serious.

"But it turns out that I swallowed a bitter pill, endured the disappointment and had to bury deep in my desire to live happily together with you. After I found out you were Raka's lover! I can't watch you get married. My heart is too sick and broken. I fell down and could not get up to watch you get married and give your blessing, so I did not come to Raka's wedding. I returned to America with destruction and wounds in my heart."

Ara sighed sadly with flowing tears.

Rafa held her face softly, staring deep in love.

"But this time I won't let you go again baby, I won't let you go away from me again, I won't let you be owned again by another man, you're just mine, you're just mine, mine. I wouldn't be able to live without you" Rafa said with teary eyes.

"Dear, marry me. Please don't reject me! Don't make my heart break, hurt and suffer again. I wouldn't be able to live without you. I beg you to be my woman forever, marry me, be your wife." paled with a sad face.

Ara gulped. Her tears are flowing more and more.

"I can't brother, I still love my husband so much even though he's no longer with me. Anyway I don't love big brother, really." sobbed.

Rafa's heart ached hearing the words

honestly this.

"You don't have to love me, just marry me! I won't ask you to forget about Raka, because I know you love her so much. I won't force you to love me either. I just want you to marry me to make sure you're mine forever. Because I don't want you to be owned by someone else! I beg Ra, marry me, I beg you very much." Rafa threw his body down, kneeling at Ara's feet.

Ara dumbfounded.

"What did you do?" trying to pull Rafa's body up.

"Wake up, don't be like this! Brother didn't deserve to do this," Ara didn't expect her sister-in-law to kneel down begging to do something low like this to her.

"Please stand up, I beg you."

Rafa remained in his position, kneeling hugging both of Ara's legs and continuously pleading.

"I just love you baby, you're the only woman I love in this world. You are all I want in this world. Marry me" she asked with wet eyes.

Ara sighed sadly, her tears were flowing more and more. Slowly he immediately dropped his body, kneeling in front of Rafa.

They looked at each other with eyes filled with tears.

Rafa held her face softly.

"I don't want to lose you anymore. I wouldn't be able to live without you. You are all I want in my life! Marry me, be my wife. I beg you dear." ask back with fondling.

Ara's tears fell back on both of her cheeks.

Rafa swept his cheeks gently, but wet again.

The two stared at each other in sadness.

A few seconds later there was the sound of the Ashar prayer adhan reverberating from the mosque.
