Substitute Priest For Chayra

Go away

Happy reading 😘😘😘

Elmira grabbed Chayra's arm and took her to the park. The two landed their weights on a park bench before starting the conversation.

The two beautiful women initially talked about the beauty of Cairo and the health condition of baby Dzikra. But over time the topic of their conversation shifted. Because Elmira started it.

Elmira praises Alif in front of Chayra. The legitimate wife of Muhammad Alif Firdaus, as well as a woman who was loved by the man.

"Alif a very loving and caring husband. He never said anything rude and was always sweet. Yes ... Although until now has never given an inner living, he is still the best man I know. She's different from all my ex-lovers, Ra. I'm sure, slowly but surely his heart will open for me. And if his heart is open, he will always ask me to serve him. My face is beautiful and my body shape does not disappoint. What do you think, Ra? My physique is perfect, right?" Elmira asked at the end of her speech and Chayra only responded by commenting on a paper-thin smile.

"It seems, Alif does not like women who are too aggressive, even though he has status as his wife. I often wear thin clothes when I'm at home. But Alif did not look at me at all. He always looked down. And seem to purposely avoid me. I also wear lingerie. But again, Alif even lowered his gaze. I wonder, in this day and age, there are still men like Alif. He was a unique and rare man --" Elmira paused for a moment her speech and published a smile.

"I felt jealous when he mentioned the name of a woman in each of his prayers. The prayer he prayed for in a third of the night. And now I just know who that woman is. He ... You Ra. If Alif had not loved you, I'm sure - he would have opened the door of his heart wide for me. And we'll live happily by loving each other."

Elmira again paused her speech and turned her neutral gaze which was originally fixed on the beauty of the lotus flower towards Chayra. He stared at the bead of Chayra's shady eyes intensely then continued the speech that momentarily paused.

"I was relieved when Alif received the wedding invitation from you. I was thinking, maybe after you get married, we can start a beautiful love story. But apparently, I was wrong. Your marriage failed so that Alif was asked by your oma to become a substitute priest. My heart was devastated when Alif called and told me he was marrying you."

"I was forced to accept the fact that my husband remarried without my permission. He did marry me because he was forced to, but I was still his wife, even if it was only his wife. Doesn't a husband who wants to remarry have to ask his first wife for permission? Without you knowing it, you made Alif an unjust husband. And he is not the only one who takes his sins. But you. As a woman, you should know that. You should have made Alif aware of not being unjust to me, instead of being silent and staying by his side. Ra, I need a husband like Alif. And my son needs a papa figure like Alif. Honestly, I am not a woman who shares. So I beg you very much, leave Alif. Give Alif for us. I'm sure you're a noble and wise woman --"

Chayra flinched and swallowed her saliva which tasted very bitter. After a moment of silence, he was speechless with his voice sounding vibrating. "All right, I'm going. I'm picking up Alif. Her acid reflux disease often recurs if she is late to eat and stressed --" Chayra's voice is choked. The tightness in his chest made him unable to return the words.

With the remnants of rigidity, Chayra moved from a sitting position. And went away from before Elmira.

Please, be strong, heart! Chayra continued to step up and patted her chest which was very painful.

....

After Chayra passed away, Elmira returned to the room where her daughter was being cared for. His lips curved as his sense of sight caught the sight that made his heart warm. Alif and baby Dzikra were joking with laughter on the air.

"El, where's Chayra? Why, you came back without him?" tanya was slashed from Alif's lips when Elmira landed the weight of the body next to him.

"Come, Lif. I don't know where he's going" he replied lying.

Alif handed the baby Dzikra to Elmira and carried her body away from the sofa.

"Lif, where are you going?"

"Finding Chayra, El. I'm worried. It's been over an hour, Chayra hasn't come back-"

"You've always worried about Chayra but never worried about me and the Dzikra" he said with a rising tone of voice.

"And you need to remember, El. If I wasn't worried about the Dzikra, I wouldn't have rushed to Cairo-"

"You forget, every dzikra hurts .. I act immediately. I always wake up when the Dzikra is fussy, while you're still asleep." Alif took a rough breath and then walked away.

Alif's footsteps came to a halt as the device in his shirt pocket shook. He then opened the message sent by Chayra.

I'm sorry I couldn't be by your side. Let go of me and be happy with your little family! Don't ever look for me!-Chayra-

"Chayra-" she says. Alif called Chayra's number repeatedly. But the despair he got. The number of the woman he loved so much could not be reached.

"Ra, where are you going, honey? Please don't go!"

Alif ran towards Zidan's room. Luckily, his best friend was in his room.

"Zi, I borrowed your car."

"Where are you going, Lif?"

"Chasing Chayra. I'm sure he's still in Cairo-"

"What's wrong with Chayra? She's leaving?"

"Yes Zi. She went. He asked me to take it off. You know, Zi. I can't live without Chayra. He's half my life Zi. Because of him, I can be like this --"

Without thinking for long, Zidan handed Alif his car keys. "Pursue Chayra, Lif! Fight your love! Don't think too much about Elmira and Dzikra! Let me take care of them."

Alif nodded and received the car keys from his best friend's hand. "Thank you, Zi."
