Stain (Mirror Cracked)

Marrying

Since Leo died, Rehan has often contacted Jihan and inquired about her circumstances.

They always communicate through cell phones. Every time Rehan asks about Jihan and Jihan always responds. But if Rehan wants to see her, Jihan always refuses.

She only wants to meet when she gives birth because she does not want her meeting with Rehan to be a slander, which is what Jihan always said to Rehan.

[“Why don't you want to meet Jihan?”] rehan asked in his phone.

[“Later Mas if Jihan has given birth. Jihan feels bad to meet mas in a state of pregnancy like this.”]

Because Jihan always insisted that Rehan did not want to meet, finally Rehan who had missed Jihan went to Jihan's house.

***

As soon as Rehan reached the front of Jihan's house, he was well welcomed by Jihan's parents. But it was different from Jihan's welcome. Jihan looked angry and upset at Rehan's arrival.

“Let's go to Rehan mas,” said bu Dwi let Rehan go inside.

“Call me Rehan Bu,” pinta Rehan while smiling at bu Dwi.

Rehan felt bad about the call. Then Rehan went into Jihan's house.

“Come please sit Rehan,” said Mr. Herman.

“Jihan, why stand up. Temeni Rehan sat down,” said his mother Jihan.

Finally Jihan sat down near Rehan with a sullen face.

Then Jihan sent a wa message to Rehan who was sitting nearby.

{Mas why come here?} Fill in Jihan's message to Rehan.

Hearing the vibration of the phone in his shirt pocket, Rehan immediately grabbed his phone and opened the contents of the message. Seen the incoming message from Jihan, Rehan had a glance towards Jihan. He felt confused because the person who sent the message was nearby.

With a smile Rehan read the message. Then he replied to the message.

{Mas already weighs the same as you.}

{Jihan does not like Mas kemari.}

{Tere..... Destination mas kemari want to propose to you today also.}

{Jihan anyway does not want...} replied Jihan in the contents of her message.

{“You must want.}

Reading Rehan's last message, Jihan was silent and lazy to respond. He just lowered his head.

Bu Dwi who noticed Jihan's attitude since earlier felt astonished.

During this time, Ms. Dwi did not know the closeness of the relationship between Jihan and Rehan.

He only finds out that Rehan and his family have helped Jihan. For other relationships, Ms. Dwi and Mr. Herman never knew it because Jihan never told her.

“How are you Mama Rehan, healthy right?” ask mom Dwi.

“Alhamdulillah mom healthy Mom. The plan was mama wanted to come here Mom, but suddenly Shinta was sick, so mama did not come to” explained Rehan.

Jihan turned to Rehan.

“What pain shinta Mas?” ask Jihan curiously.

“Biasalah tension suddenly dropped and earlier Shinta had drowned so mama did not dare to leave her alone.”

“Shinta's sister Rehan huh?” ask mom Dwi.

“Shinta Rehan's younger cousin, Mom. Just a month ago, Shinta stayed home because her mother had just died. He also no longer has a father.”

“Oh that, pity times yes,” said bu Dwi concerned.

“Iya Ma'am. Since her mother died Shinta brought mama here and now school here.”

“Thank God there are still families who care about Shinta,” said bu Dwi again.

After a moment of silence, Rehan finally started the conversation.

Previously he had glanced towards Jihan who was sitting nearby. Jihan looked only to bow her head.

Ms. Dwi and Mr. Herman looked directly at Rehan.

“Actually my arrival means here to apply for Jihan.”

Hearing Rehan's words, Jihan who had lowered her head immediately looked at Rehan as if in disbelief.

“Mas Rehan what the heck..” said Jihan in a slow tone.

While Ms. Dwi and Mr. Herman looked at each other.

Both of them were confused and surprised by Rehan's sudden statement.

“What Rehan means yes, mother does not understand,” said bu Dwi confused.

With a smile Rehan again explained to both parents Jihan.

“Actually since Jihan lived at home, Rehan had told Jihan that Rehan was willing to marry her if Jihan did not marry Leo. And now that Leo is dead, Rehan ventures out to propose to Jihan to be Reha's wife. Rehan has actually loved Jihan for a long time, Bu.”

Ms. Dwi and Mr. Herman were immediately aghast in surprise.

The two did not expect that Rehan turned out to like his daughter had even told Jihan before.

“Sorry Rehan, I got confused because Jihan never told me about this issue. Jihan, is it true that Rehan said just now?”

Jihan just nodded her head.

“Sorry Mom, what Rehan said is true. It's just that Jihan is still hesitant. Jihan is not sure if later Rehan can love Leo's child,” explained Jihan.

Ms. Dwi immediately smiled listening to her daughter's explanation.

“But Rehan, Jihan is currently pregnant. Can not get married if you are pregnant, especially Jihan pregnant with someone else's child,” explained Mr. Herman.

“I know Sir. Precisely that I want to marry Jihan immediately because to cover up the embarrassment. Later after Jihan gave birth, we just got married again legally. So at this time this marriage is only to cover the shame sir, so that Jihan is not denigrated in the community.”

Ms. Dwi who listened to Rehan's words was flattered. Without feeling her tears even flow.

“Thank you Rehan. We were actually embarrassed by Jihan's pregnancy. Especially now that Leo is dead.”

“Makanya Ma, I do not want Jihan to be denigrated in the community for being pregnant without a father. So I want to cover up Jihan's disgrace.

For that when you want to marry Jihan. After Jihan gave birth, we just got married again to be legitimate.”

Eventually Rehan's wish is granted by Jihan's parents. It seems that both of Jihan's parents are very happy with Rehan's desire to marry his son soon

***.

Three days later the wedding was held in a simple manner. Only close family invited by Ms. Dwi and Mr. Herman. Although the marriage is very simple but does not reduce the sense of happiness in both brides. Rehan and Jihan were very happy.

After the kabul ijab process is completed, the two brides go straight into the room to change clothes. The family near Jihan who stayed at Jihan's house did not know the reason for Jihan and Rehan's hasty marriage. In fact, they also do not know that Jihan is pregnant with Leo's child because all of this is deliberately kept secret by both of Jihan's parents.

Actually, Ms. Dwi had prepared a different room for Rehan and Jihan. Rehan and Jihan are separated from her room. It's just that because Jihan's family is still at Jihan's house, Jihan and Rehan finally enter the same room.

Arriving in the second room still looks awkward especially the two have been reminded not to do husband and wife relationship because this marriage is only to cover up the shame of the Jihan family.

Rehan immediately sat down beside Jihan who was sitting on the edge of the bed. But Jihan immediately shifted her seat because she did not want to sit close together for fear of being tempted. Seeing Jihan's attitude, Rehan simply smiled.

When Rehan clasped Jihan's hand, Jihan whispered to Rehan.

“Mas, don't do..”.

Rehan just smiled when he heard Jihan's words that looked like they were scared.

“Mas just wants to kiss you, may?”

Jihan just fell silent and then Rehar kissed Jihan's soft forehead and cheeks.

“You do not worry because you will not break our promises. Later after we get married for the second time, we will carry out our obligations to you as a husband,” whispered Rehan in the ear of Jihan.

Hearing Rehan's words Jihan's heart immediately calmed down. She was so grateful to have found her husband so dear to her. Rehan's attention so far is enough to make Jihan confident and believe that later Rehan will really love himself and also the child in the womb.
