So TKW
Section 51
Slowly Abdul Ro'uf released a hug that had felt warm to the body. This time he turned my body, until our gaze met, I who only had to look up a little to just look at his face. I saw the face God made so perfect. A sharp nose, with red lips, perfect shallow eyebrows plus a beard that adorns the cheeks until the chin makes any woman close to it will be fascinated. Including me, and Laila the woman who always chased him tirelessly.
He brought his forehead closer to my forehead. His eyes look red, as if something makes him sad or maybe he is not ready with what he will face in the future.
"What do I do, Noah?. I was helpless." whispered. I also cry the same, somehow he looks so fragile when I look at the dim light in his eyes. Even a hard man if a heavy burden hit him will fall too. Including this man in front of me. I know it's not easy for Abdul Ro'uf to obey his parents' orders and agree to a marriage with Laila. But for now I think that's the best...
"Marry him. Be the man in charge." I whispered. Although the lips and heart are opposite, I think this is the best path for now.
"Why...?" ask again. I hid my face in the chest of his field. Hugged it tightly. The tears just fell. I don't know, it was so painful when for the first time to feel the thump in the chest, as well as for the last I had to let go. Even when I parted with my husband I didn't feel this much.
"It's the best.." The more hug I passed, as if tomorrow he would be out of eight. He even replied with the same thing. Both of his hands were tightly coiled on my back. Warm. And we both fell in the same cry. Be ill.
"If only there wasn't Laila, your husband, not even my family. None of this will ever happen." he said in a soft voice. Ubun-ubunku. And I looked at him more and more compassionately...
"It's all fate." he nodded. Again he hugged tightly as if reluctant to part.
Nothing can change destiny. But the future is not everyone will know.
"Then what about my heart, yes, Noah..."
"We'll be together if fate wills." I let go of his embrace. No longer able to if it has to continue.
"Go sleep. I don't want to ruin you." He led me to the door. He I have to go back before anyone sees me entering a man's room at midnight.
Out of the room, a man in black complete with his gutra was standing. He's Abdul's uncle. I was so surprised. Behind Abdul Ro'uf is the same. For a moment we were silent until he finally said.
"Go to your room" I immediately left not to answer her words. When I looked again he entered Abdul Ro'uf's room.
"Almost I drove your foster child to your quasi-boy's room, thankfully you came soon" he said, looking cynical. I who didn't know what to say finally apologized.
"Sorry, Oatima." I said as I grabbed Oomar and namoak asleep.
"Oh, get in there. Before you report that you're dating the employer's son" he said with his chest crossed and just walked away. Pyuh...!
****
"It's worth it. You insist on refusing to marry Laila. That's your excuse? meeting a waiter at midnight like this, hm..." Uncle Abdul entered without my orders, then sat down and crossed his right leg over his left leg.
"It's not what uncle thinks" I'm sitting right in front of him. I hope my uncle understands.
"So what's your decision, hm? are you going to marry Laila?" inquiringly.
"I think, yes, "I looked into my uncle's eyes. It's true what Noah said. I have to be a real man. Can't run away from this problem I'm facing. Even if I were to walk away, there would be a lot of new problems coming up, and I would be even more hated by my family.
"Well, that's a good decision." Uncle got out of his seat. Then look back at me who was still sitting down and looking down.
"Listen Ro'uf, a man can marry several women. If you're heavy on that woman, you can make her second after Laila" I was wide-eyed to hear from Uncle. Both my hands clenched.
"I'm not like you uncle. Remember that. Babah did not marry another woman. He is only loyal to ummi" I replied by pressing every word.
"Hm, I'm proud of you Ro'uf" he said before leaving.
