Sharing Love: Forced to Marry a Husband's Grandchild

#MENTARI, FATIH, AND ZAHRA (7)

      By noon Fatih and Mentari just come down to eat. Either breakfast or lunch are a name for them. Because the clock shows it's ten o'clock over. As soon as the two finished eating, his brother Zahra approached them.

"Eh, son Fatih. Just ate?!" asked a middle-aged woman whom Fatih knew as her aunt Zahra, she called her Aunt Widuri.

"Aunt Widuri. Yes we just finished eating together," Fatih replied with a friendly smile.

"You have two wives, but still less attention! New time to eat?!" said Widuri in a quirky tone while moving her curly lips.

     Fatih and Mentari looked at each other, then moved their eyebrows as a sign they were communicating. Mentari doesn't like the way Aunt Widuri talks. It was as if she was not a good wife for abandoning her husband.

"Actually Fatih who wants to eat this hour. If it is quite early, here many people," Fatih replied after listening to the words of Widuri.

"Oh .. You're a good man Fatih. It's worth getting a good wife!" said Widuri while looking down on Mentari.

"Alhamdulillah. Allah is so dear to me that it is in the love of good wives and Sholehas" Fatih replied in a polite tone to Widuri.

     Hearing the words of Fatih, Mentari's heart felt flowery. There was a subtle vibration in his heart. Especially when Fatih spoke good wives and Sholeha, while looking at him. Makes the Mentari very happy. His feelings immediately soared.

"Auntie listen Zahra is barren, can't have children! That's why you got married again. Auntie's son, Jihan she's a healthy girl, and she's a virgin again. If Fatih wants to, Jihan is willing to be Fatih's third wife and give a child for Fatih," said Widuri Long promoting her virgin son.

"In sha Allah, Mentari is also a healthy woman and ready to conceive a child of my descendants, if Allah trusts us. For Allah has the power to give His children as He pleases. Hopefully me and Mentari are among the people who are trusted to get offspring." 

     Fatih stood up and pulled Mentari's hand to stand up as well. " Sorry, Auntie. I want to go with my wife, because we still have a lot of things to do. Excuse me," said Fatih leaving Widuri alone.

     Fatih does not like people who like to talk about others, whether it's talking about someone's disgrace or gossiping about others who are not necessarily the truth. Widuri's words earlier that touched on Zahra's infertility, made him hurt.

"Mas, where are we going?" ask Mentari when they passed the room where he stayed last night.

"We will meet Zahra," Fatih replied with a smile.

     Zahra's room was staying in the next room. Fatih walked in, knowing the room was not locked. When they entered, Zahra, Gaya and Cantika were joking there.

"You guys, get-togethers don't bother me," The mentor frowned when he saw his three best friends were together and joking.

"Eh, bride! Here-here ... what story do you want?" tanya Gaya with her distinctive character of eleven twelve if Mentari has been gathered with her.

"You want to tell your bride's night" whispered Gaya while smilingly teasing Mentari.

"No need to tell, you know, too," Mentari Pinched Gaya's cheek strongly.

"Aw .. Darling! The mentor pinched me very hard," shouted Gaya calling Arga who was busy chatting with Alex and Fatih.

     Hearing his wife's scream, Arga looked at him and just smiled, then he continued the conversation with Alex and Fatih. It made his friends laugh with satisfaction.

"Pity is so good in the same cuekin" said Mentari with a laugh chuckle.

"Be careful, tonight will not get rations" Gaya said as she waved her lips. His actions even made his friends laugh more loudly, even Zahra was now able to laugh freely.

"What are they talking about, laughing like that?" asked Arga while looking at the gathering of wives sitting on the sofa in front of the TV in the hotel room.

"I think they're flirting with your wife" replied Alex, who also looked at his beloved wife Cantika.

"When are you going back to America, Al?" ask Fatih to his cousin.

"Lusa, because many meetings are delayed because of my arrival here," Alex told Fatih who had just talked about his marriage to Mentari on Sunday. So that it disrupts his work agenda that has been well prepared.

"I'm sorry it was Zahra's wish. I refuse to be heard, too," refuted Fatih.

"If the wife has a desire, we husbands can only follow her," Arga said after putting a glass containing avocado juice.

"That's how we appreciate those who've taken care of us and the kids. By following her wish makes their hearts happy" Alex replies.

"Well, it's also true that if their hearts are not happy, we will be affected" whispered Arga and responded to laughing by Fatih and Alex.

      Fatih, Mentari, and Zahra had dinner with their families. There are their parents and their brothers. A harmonious atmosphere was seen at the dinner. Everything is happy and okay. Moreover, there is Ghazali which often makes the atmosphere there warm. Because it was his banquet that made people laugh there.

     After dinner together. They all went back to their rooms. And so is Zahra. He had just sat on the sofa, the bell on the door of his room was already ringing.

      With a quick step Zahra headed for the door, as the guest continued to ring the bell repeatedly. As soon as the door opened, there was Widuri and Jihan standing in front of the door of her room.

"What's up, Bi? These nights come into my room" asked Zahra standing at the door of her room, as if not allowing the two of them to enter.

"Someone I want to talk to!" said Widuri while pushing Zahra aside to give her a way to enter.

"Well, Zahra your room is so nice!" jihan said as he went inside.

"It's like a fancy apartment!" jihan continued with a look of amazement when he saw the contents of Zahra's room.

"Auntie, what do you want to say? He said he wanted someone to talk to, " asked Zahra as he followed them, who was walking around the hotel room.

"Oh yes to forget," said Widuri while smiling shamelessly.

"Look Zahra, can you make Jihan Fatih's third wife?!" Said Widuri with a hopeful look.

"W-What!" Zahra was very surprised when she heard the wishes of her uncle's wife.
