Second Destiny

34

Afnan who heard Nayya's cold words fell silent and he understood why Nayya did it. He had also expected this before deciding to come here. He has prepared himself for this. But it turned out that after seeing and hearing directly from Nayya's lips made her feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Papa Imran and mama Fara who realized the awkward atmosphere created was finally trying to melt the atmosphere, “Nak, you just went home to check your shop must be tired. Let's go in first.” Invite Mama Fara directly to hold her eldest daughter in.

While Imran papa immediately asked his three grandchildren to go back inside and he also invited Afnan to re-enter, “Pardon his words son. Please understand him. He definitely didn't mean to hurt your heart.” Papa Imran to Afnan.

Afnan who heard that smiled, “I am fine. I know Nayya's character is tough. Doesn't matter. I also had expected this to happen and had prepared mentally for this situation.” Afnan replied.

Papi Imran who heard that smiled and patted Afnan on the shoulder. This man who used to be he did not like so much when the proposal came at that time with Risam's proposal. He and his wife prefer Risam because they know that their daughter is already hurt with Afnan. But who would have thought now fate brought them closer like this. For his future destiny leave it to the one above what the end result will be like. Just go through it first.

“Mah .. pah .. I go to the room first. Take a break. Tired.” Nayya refused to join the living room.

Mama Fara and Papa Imran can only nod in agreement because they do not want to force their daughter.

Nayya was immediately headed to her room followed by her three children who also entered, “Im sorry she nak.”, said Mama Fara to Afnan.

Afnan shook his head, “No need to apologize. There's nothing wrong here. I also came here not to force. I know how she loved her late husband. The heart of a woman like Nayya must be if she loves someone then it will be difficult for her to forget. Especially if the figure of a husband like Risam who really loves his.” said Afnan.

Mama Fara and Papa Imran who heard Afnan's words could only look at each other and could only accompany Afnan to talk until the man came home.

“Poor him, pah. What Nayya will not give a chance once to his.” said mama Fara looking at the departure of Afnan who came home after some time talking with them.

Papa Imran who heard the words of his wife can only take a deep breath, “But we also can not force our daughter, mah. This is his decision. He has the right to make his own decisions for his life. Although we as his parents but can not force it. Just let him calm down.” Papa Imran.

“Although we know our late daughter-in-law made her promise to marry Afnan. But we still can't force her just because it's not?” go to papa Imran.

Mama Fara who heard the words of her husband can only sigh and choose to enter the house.

While in his room, Nayya saw the departure of Afnan's car from the window of his room. Nayya took a deep breath and stared at the book before her. The empty book has not been written.

Nayya opened sheet by sheet the empty book, “Can I open this new chapter without bringing an old chapter in my life? Unattached to what happened in the past? Where can I do that. Really, my steps are stuck in the middle of the road.” Inner Nayya.

“Mother!” call Xander who is suddenly on his side and clasps his hand.

Nayya also stared fixedly at her son, “What's wrong? Why not take a break with them?” nayya asked a glance at the other daughter and son who were now sleeping in his bed.

Xander just shook his head and kept holding Nayya's hand, “Mother, if you want to remarry or maybe marry Uncle Afnan. Just tell us. We will support your decision. Uncle Afnan is like a good man. He could be your husband. He will surely love my mother. We also quite like his.” said Xander.

Nayya who heard the words of her usual son just silently did not come to talk was smiling because like this is a long sentence that she heard and said by her son during the time he can talk until now.

“Maybe it's true that he will love you and will be your best husband. But if you don't have your mother, you won't marry anyone if she won't love you. If necessary, you will not marry again. Your father is your mother's best husband and will not be replaced by anyone. Mother will not marry if the future husband of the mother will only love and want the mother only and not with you. If so, it is better to live alone with you.” said Nayya.

“But mother must be lonely. Dad told us not to make you lonely. He will be sad later if he sees you lonely. The mother is his favorite.” said Xander.

“And you are mother's beloved. Mother will not be able to accept if you are not happy later. Your happiness is the main thing for your mother at this time. No need to worry mom. Mother is fine. Mother is no longer afraid of needles. Doesn't mean that you're okay. So no need to worry anymore.” Nayya.

“But bun--”

“Stttss, you don't want to hear anything anymore. Mother wants you to focus on your learning. There is no need to think about being lonely or not because as long as you have a mother will never be lonely at all. You guys are the best for mom. You have a darling mother.” Nayya cut off her son's words and carried his son into his arms.

“Mas, what did you tell the kids before you left? Why did they push me to get married again. Did you also say that Afnan would be their father. If that's what you told them then I don't think about you. Is there a husband who gives his wife and his children to others like that.” Inner Nayya.

On the side of Afnan, now he drives his car back to his house which is only a short distance away from the residence Nayya.

“Ayu!” call Afnan greet Ayu by lowering the glass of his car.

Ayu who heard someone calling her name immediately turned her head and smiled at Afnan.

“Kaak Afnan!” his greeting back.

Afnan also decided to get out of his car, “What is this-” guess Afnan.

“This is my lover brother. Call him King. That's his name.” said Ayu introduced her lover to Afnan. Ayu did not feel awkward at all introducing the King to the former man she was paired with.

Afnan smiled, nodding, and the two immediately greeted each other. Afnan could see the two of them loving each other. Ayu was willing not recognized by her parents for the sake of the man and the man like her loved Ayu very much. He was finally able to be relieved because there was no need to feel guilty to Ayu again for the cancellation of their engagement. He must admit that he was also guilty of what happened to them.

“We can talk there for a minute.” Tawar Afnan's.

Ayu and the King looked at each other and nodded and the three men immediately headed to the nearby tavern.

“Did you guys decide to come home here?” ask Afnan carefully.

“Hum, his initial plan was like that. We want to come back here but as you can already guess Afnan is what happened. We were rejected. So you can only rely on yourself and think about what to do in front of her.” said Ayu.

“I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you and your parents could be like this. If not me maybe you will not experience this.” said Afnan.

Ayu shook her head, “It's not your fault, brother. It is the mother and father who cannot accept the reality. They always see other people by their status. Even without you, I'm sure he won't be able to accept us. So there is no need to feel guilty. This is really nothing to do with you. We find ourselves in an arranged marriage that we do not want each other because we have feelings for others. I also do not feel guilty for running away from our engagement. It was the first decision I made in my life because all this time I was just following their decision. And like her it's not too scary because then I can be with the people I love and will not hurt the heart.” Ayu said smiling.

Afnan who heard that also smiled, “I have to admit you made a great decision in your life. I need to learn from you for that.” said Afnan.

Ayu smiled, “Ohiya, I heard that Nayya sister is done with her iddah period. Has Brother Afnan thought of his future plans?” ask Ayu.

Afnan who heard the question asked by Ayu smiled, “I just came from his residence just now. But yes, that is.” Afnan.

Ayu and the King who heard that also smiled, “I heard from Ayu that the woman you love was your lover as well. I am sure just like her self that may love her late husband very much at this time and may be difficult to forget her and choose to keep her in his heart. Then it's likely that he did the same thing when you were separated at that time. It may be that in the corner of his deepest heart it is you. It's just that she's currently being covered by her feelings for her late husband. But even so there must be a gap to revive that sense back.” King Saying.

Afnan who heard that also smiled and nodded, “Maybe it was like that. But really it doesn't matter. We are no longer at that stage.”

“I just want to be his protector and also protector for his three children, although I am sure without anyone he can protect and protect himself and also his three children. Who does not know him. She is a successful career woman both 7 years ago and now. Both she was still a girl and now with her new status. He is still the great Nayyara. But I still want her to protect me. Perhaps because of his name that has filled the space of my heart. I don't care if she loves her husband or not. I just want him in my care. I want to keep the promise made by me to her late husband.” continued Afnan then sipped a drink in front of her.

“What did her late husband make you promise?” ask King.

Afnan nodded, “Yeah, like that. I was also shocked by her request. Where there is a husband who is willing to share his wife with others. But he is a man who sincerely loves his wife with great love and deep to do such a thing. Honestly, I feel low when compared to her husband that can be everything. Almost as perfect as Nayya. They are a matching and perfect couple just that fate is not so good on them that it keeps the couple apart.” Afnan.

After saying that Afnan laughed, “Sorry I so confided in you guys. Already have. No need to talk about me. Are you guys going to decide to get married after this?” ask Afnan.

“Married? It's probable. We still want to fight for blessing first.” King Saying.

“Hopefully you will soon get his.” said Afnan sincerely.

“Same prayers for you too brother. I'm sure there will definitely be a good destiny for you.” Ayu.

Afnan smiled, “We pray that everything you plan is achieved.” Keep King.

“Aamiin. Thanks though. If I marry her later. You must be present at our wedding.” said Afnan.

“Hum, of course we will come.” replied Ayu and Raja.

Afnan nodded and smiled. Then after that the three men also talked before they decided to continue their respective goals.
