Sharing Love: Forced to Marry a Husband's Grandchild
#Study, Fatih, Zahra (2)
Mentari is working on his already heaped work as a marketing director at his family-owned Mochtar Group company. It had been over a year that she returned to the world of work she used to do at this company, before marrying William.
In this year's hard work, Mentari can advance the production of his family's plantations. Plus he has business knowledge that he got from Christopher and William, making him a person who has a high ability in carrying out his work.
The sound of the phone ringing makes its concentration scatter in work. Then he looked at his phone screen and there was a name calling him. The smile on his face was up a little.
"It's people haven't given up either" muttered Mentari as she picked up her phone.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Zahra," Greetings Mentari.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mentari," replied Zahra.
"How do you have an answer, right?" zahra asked impatiently.
Hearing the question from his best friend, made Mentari take her breath. He leaned his body into his office chair. Close his eyes, trying to concentrate on what he will talk to his best friend.
"Sorry Zahra, I don't want to be labeled as a woman who takes people's husbands. If you want honey, just find someone else. I don't want us to be enemies because we are jealous" Mentari replied with a firm voice.
"Not going to happen what you're afraid of!" reply Zahra quickly, "I will be present at your wedding. If necessary before the ijab qobul event, I made the announcement first that I was the one who wanted your wedding."
"On jealousy, I don't think so. Do we know the nature and character of both of us?!" zahra continued with her chuckling laughter.
"You're a freak. Everywhere she doesn't want her husband to remarry, but you're looking for another woman to be your husband's second wife," said Mentari while walking towards the glass of his office to see the scenery outside his office building.
"Let me say strange to you, the important thing is that you want to be a second wife to Mas Fatih!" reply Zahra without hesitation.
The sun took a breath and let it out slowly through his mouth. For three days now, Zahra called him every day, only to ask him about his readiness to make honey for him.
"I want to ask, did Fatih's sister also want this marriage?" manya curious.
"Yes, Fatih wants it too!" zahra answered quickly.
"You must be lying. I can't believe that Fatih's sister wanted this marriage, which you had forced her to marry me," Mentari laughed as she talked about it.
"If you don't believe me, I'll have him propose to you today!" Zahra said solemnly.
"What's really going on with you guys?" tanya Mentari with a soft voice.
"That's because ... I .. can't give him a child," Zahra's sobs are heard by Mentari.
"A-what do you mean ... you?!" tanya Mentari stammered, because she was very surprised by the news she had just heard.
"Yes .. I will never have a child in my entire life, Mentari .. a-I can't. .. have a child!" zahra's heart-wrenching cry sounded so clear in Mentari's ears, and it made Mentari also shed tears on her cheeks without her noticing.
"Sorry, Zahra. I ... no. mean .... open your wound. I can't .. " Mentari can no longer continue her words. Only her crying could explain what she was feeling.
For a woman, it will feel perfect if she can give offspring to her husband. On the contrary, if she could not give offspring to her husband, she would feel unable to become a complete perfect woman.
Mentari was so sad to know that Zahra could not get pregnant. He did not dare to ask any further, except for Zahra herself who started telling him. Pregnancy can be a sensitive issue for some women. Especially when she knew she couldn't get pregnant. Unlike the fertile women who easily get a pregnancy for her. Then they will talk about pregnancy with him can make him happy.
"I ... it's okay, Mentari .. therefore ... I ask you .. I'll take my place to give Mas Fatih the child he always expected .." Zahra cried sobbing in between her talk.
Now the two women who had been best friends for a long time were heard crying on her phone. Neither Mentari nor Zahra spoke. Only their cries described his current feelings.

Fatih and Zahra went to Khalid's house in the morning, because today happened to be a red date. Aurora and Khalid welcomed her son and daughter-in-law. Now they are done enjoying their breakfast.
"Well, is there anyone who wants Fatih and Zahra to talk about?!" fatih looked at Khalid with a serious look.
"What's so important, like?!" khalid asked when he saw Fatih's eyes.
"Zahra asked Fatih to remarry," Fatih replied in a low voice.
"What do you mean, Fatih!" aurora's thunderous voice filled the entire dining room at Khalid's residence.
"Well, Zahra asked for it!" Zahra quickly clarified confirming her husband's words, so that her mother-in-law would not misunderstand.
"Actually two years ago Zahra had uterine cancer" Zahra said, bowing her head.
"Our trip to Australia two years ago was also to have surgery to remove the uterus, as the cancer has already begun to spread. That .... is the only way ... for Zahra to be .. healed," Zahra's bated cry began to sound.
"Zahra already ... no .. will be able ... to give offspring .. for Mas Fatih .. " Zahra can no longer hold back her tears.
"Fatih, you want to remarry because Zahra can't give you offspring!" Khalid stared intently at his eldest son.
"No Pah, Fatih rejected Zahra's wishes. The matter of the child since the beginning Fatih did not bother him," Fatih objected to his papa.
"Zahra, you don't have to be sad. Fatih doesn't matter if you don't have children" Aurora said, trying to calm her daughter-in-law down.
"Zahra wants to .. Mas Fatih can find his happiness ... before Zahra's departure .." said Zahra in between sobs.
"A-What do you mean ... Zahra?!" ask Khalid and Aurora together.
"Zahra ... suffering from Leukemia stage three .. " replied Zahra with increasingly heavy tears wetting her cheeks.
Fatih hugged Zahra and rubbed her back. Khalid and Aurora were stunned by Zahra's words.

Fatih came to Mentari at his company office. Earlier this morning he called Mentari for lunch with him and talked about the continuation of his phone last night.
After Zahra talked everything over to Khalid and Aurora. They also supported Zahra's wishes. Later in the afternoon, she and Zahra went to the boarding school to discuss the matter with her parents-in-law.
At first, Zahra's mother rejected her son's wishes, but after her father-in-law explained she finally understood and accepted Zahra's planned decision.
"So, are you not done yet?" ask Fatih when opening the door of the Mentari room.
The mentor who was just about to turn off his laptop, looked up his head and looked towards Fatih. Then smiled kindly as he saw the figure of a handsome man now standing in front of the door of his study.
"Sister Fatih has come!" said Mentari while standing up and taking her bag.
"Are we having lunch at your house?!" fatih asked while waiting for Mentari to walk towards him.
"Yes, of course. Both my parents were shocked when Papa Khalid called yesterday afternoon" Mentari said walking side by side with Fatih and into the elevator.
"Did Fatih's sister know that I, who just took a nap, was immediately awakened and interrogated on this matter?!" mentari and Fatih just laughed.
"People who have just slept, and whose lives have not been collected, are immediately interrogated, because they do not want to, I become the third person from the household of others." Mentari recounted the incident he experienced yesterday by putting up a funny face, and it made Fatih laugh chuckling could not stop.

The Fatih family, the Zahra family, and the Mentari family are now having lunch together at Ja'far's house. They talked about Zahra's desire to marry Fatih and Mentari. The Mentari family did not know about the Leukemia Zahra was suffering from, which they knew was that Zahra could not have children, and asked Mentari to be Fatih's second wife in order to give him offspring.
The talks of the three families flowed harmoniously, because they had previously known. Moreover, the three families are bound by brotherhood because of the rope of marriage. Mentari was the wife of William Green, who was Fatih's grandfather.
"So how is Mentari are you willing to be Fatih's wife?" ask Khalid while looking towards Mentari.
"Can you give Mentari time to do istikharah?" pinta Mentari with her tense body, because there is no thought at this time to remarry.
"Yes, I allow it," Fatih replied and asked the others to agree to it as well.
