Substitute Priest For Chayra

Alif & Zidan

Happy reading 😘😘😘

Alif shook and the atmosphere became quiet. Only the sound of Elmira's heavy breathing implied a burden on the heart.

"Zi, I want us to talk together." Alif's speech broke the silence.

Unasked, Chayra and Elmira move out of their seats, leaving Alif and Zidan behind.

"Zi, are you forced to want to marry Elmira because of me? If you had to, I would feel so guilty. Don't sacrifice for me, Zi!" alif said after Zidan moved to sit on the side of the bed.

Zidan smiled widely and then replied to Alif with a relaxed style of speech. "I don't have to, Lif. I also did not sacrifice for you. Yeah, even though you're doing a great job --"

"Then, what's the reason you want to marry Elmira?"

"I want to marry Elmira because my heart believes that she is the right woman to be my mother. The one I need to protect and take care of. Honestly, I've been falling for Elmira ever since I found out about her life, Lif-" Zidan paused for a moment and scooped up the air before coming back into words. Throwing the sense of tightness that is always present when remembering the life story of Elmira is very strange.

"It turns out, Elmira was a victim of sexual harassment-al, Lif. When she was a teenager, Elmira's chastity was forcibly taken by her own foster father. And in the ensuing nights, Elmira is forced to serve her adoptive father and foster sister. Poor him. When the world is destroyed, no one can be a place to complain. As an outlet, Elmira often visit nightlife spots and flirt with couples. It was as if misfortune wanted to befriend him. Elmira's world is getting ruined because of her own lover. After being satisfied with taking a sip of Elmira's honey, he did not want to take responsibility. And in the end, Elmira intends to commit suicide after giving birth to Dzikra. Luckily, there you were when Elmira wanted to jump off the hospital rooftop, Lif. To Elmira, you are her angel of help. He fell in love with you from the first day you met" he said at length, telling the dark story of Elmira.

Alif's heart was pinched by the words that came from Zidan's lips. As a husband, he felt very bad and unfair to Elmira.

If Alif knew the misfortune experienced by Elmira since the beginning of marriage, maybe he would try to open the door of the heart and treat the woman he married in series like a wife.

But, a deep love for Chayra, covered her inner eyes. He never asked Elmira about anything. No exception to the dark life story of Elmira.

All Alif did was, trying to keep his promise accountable. He guarded and protected Elmira and Dzikra. It meets all the needs of Elmira and Dzikra and provides a comfortable shelter.

Once again, Alif felt he was doing a great khilaf. Both Chayra and Elmira were victims of his error.

In the mind, Alif unceasingly asked God for forgiveness for sin and khilaf that he did intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm a very bad husband, Zi. I wronged my two wives. Had I known Elmira's dark story before we got married, I would have tried to open the door of my heart for her and refused Kiran's mother's request. Maybe if I didn't marry Chayra, she'd get a better substitute priest. Not the most unjust substitute priest --" Alif wept in terror. He felt very sorry.

Zidan sighed and rubbed Alif's shoulder while calming his best friend. "Already Lif. Don't blame yourself! Everything that has happened does not need to be regretted. We are just ordinary people who do not escape from sin and khilaf. Make the khilaf you once did as a life lesson. Most importantly, let Elmira go so she can live happily and never repeat the same mistake. There are many ways to save someone's life without sacrificing yourself. And one more thing, don't ever let go of Chayra. Knit happiness with the woman you love, Lif. Make him the wings that will lead you to His heaven" said Zidan sage.

"Thanks, Zi. You are my best friend" he said, wiping away a trail of tears.

Both of them smiled and hugged tightly.

"Zi, may-I speak one-on-one with your future wife?" Alif uttered a question after breaking up the hug.

"Of course you can, Lif. But after Elmira becomes my wife, you can't talk to her four eyes. I'm afraid he can't move on from you."

"Elmira must have moved on easily from me, Zi. Because you are an Adam who approaches the word perfect. But I said, reduce your habit of eating petai. Fearing, Elmira can not stand the bad breath and smell of your fart," she sibirnya followed the arch of the lips.

Zidan's lips were throbbing. Want it to feel he snapped Alif's head every talk about his favorite food 'pepper'. Unfortunately, his best friend's head was injured.

"Haishhh, I haven't eaten a petai in a long time, Lif. To be exact, after Rendi never returned to Cairo. Only he who has a hobby brought me petai souvenirs from Java."

"Thank God then. Means, Elmira won't file with her future husband."

"Guaranteed, he won't ilfil. In fact, it would instantly be enamored with my charm, Lif. My face is handsome and my stomach is like torn bread" said Zidan confidently.

"Yes, I'm sure-Elmira must be captivated by your charm, Zi. Now, please call him! There's something I want to talk to him about" Alif said.

"Alright, Lif. I'll call Elmira for you."
