The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 39 - The Sadness of Rahul

"Stop Vera. You'd forgotten? she's pregnant. How could I marry someone's wife?" Tegur Fajar with a sharp look, irritated by the actions of his assistant.

"Stay we don't know Doc, whether her husband is alive or not. We also don't know what his life story is. Not all pregnant women have husbands"

"You mean, she's pregnant out of wedlock?"

"Not close the possibility, right?"

"Don't talk carelessly, because we don't know what his life story is like. What if he hears of your accusation? Getting pregnant out of wedlock is every woman's worst nightmare"

"Yes Doc okay, forget it. Now all we have to think about is how to convince her, if the Doctor is her husband when she wakes up"

"Don't worry, I know what to do"

The funeral procession of Bu Sakinah began at the Dirgantara residence. Starting from being bathed to being forgiven, and the disholatkan of the body that has been rigidly stretched with Rahul as his priest.

Until arriving at the stage of the corpse inserted keliang lahat. Rahul along with Gala and several other male officers came down into the burrow that had been prepared as the final resting place of Sakinah.

With feelings of sadness and destruction, Rahul can only hope that his mother-in-law can be calm and happy there. That was all he could do against the woman who had given birth to the woman he loved so much.

In addition to family members, the funeral procession was also attended by dozens of mourners who came from among businessmen, officials to conglomerates who have a fairly good relationship with Dirgantara Group, he said, those who come to give their condolences for the calamity they are experiencing.

"Hello, good morning. How are you doing? Did you sleep well?" Dawn greeted Zahra who was still asleep unconscious in a friendly voice and sounded friendly. He sat on the chair beside the woman's bed.

He scanned every side of the woman's face. Beautiful face, cute and sweet. Decorated with a small nose and tiny lips that look pale behind the oxygen mask he wears. Eyes with pliable hair and cleavage on the chin. Long wavy hair, as well as her pure white skin.

"If you pay attention, it turns out your face is beautiful too. How fortunate is the man who has succeeded in interrupting you, to plant his seed in your own life. Do you love that guy so much?" The look on Dawn's previously cheerful face instantly turned grim.

"A bond of love is not easy to let go. And I know exactly what it's like, because I've experienced it"

Dawn held Zahra's soft hand. There was a golden ring that was ringed in the woman's sweet finger. Dawn removed the ring from the woman's ring finger slowly. He scanned the two large letters listed behind the ring.

"R Z?" Dawn looked back at Zahra who did not respond at all. "Is this the initials of your name and your husband? I don't know what your real name is. I don't know what these two letters mean, but I'm sorry, for a while, you can't use this ring. But trust me, we're all doing this for your health and your baby's sake"

Dawn put the ring in his pocket and took out another gold ring. He looked at the ring with a bitter feeling.

It was the wedding ring of his late wife. He never thought that if the ring held many memories of his wife he should use it for the benefit of his patients.

Dawn put the ring on Zahra's sweet pursuit slowly. How surprised the man when he saw the gold ring was very fitting in the sweet woman. Not slack or narrow at all.

He thought to himself, Was this poor woman really sent by God to replace his dead wife?

Vera said it was likely that the woman's husband was also a victim in the flood tragedy. Maybe that guy was dead too.

He lost his wife while giving birth to his son. The intense bleeding experienced by the woman he married a year ago, made the lives of both of them unsaved.

And now, she is reunited with a pregnant woman, whose husband is out of nowhere. And she had to play the part of this woman's husband to save her life? Is this just a coincidence or....?

Never mind, he didn't want to think too far.

The eyes of Dawn now turned to the golden necklace with the beautiful letter pendulum strung around the woman's neck. He was holding a necklace pendulum with the SABEL letter.

*******

Rahul was standing in the balcony of his room. She stared at the wedding ring that was curled in her sweet finger. The moment when he said the Kabul ijab to make Zahra his wife again ringing in his eyes.

The happy times were full of laughter they went through together, the bar-bar and funny attitude of the woman who was always able to melt her mood, making her very much miss those moments.

If time could be repeated, then he would immediately stop it right then and there.

Why did all this have to happen when he could see again? He thought he would continue his happy life with his beloved wife. Accompanying Zahra through her pregnancy, waiting for the birth of their future baby, caring for and raising her together.

But now he doesn't know if the dream will come true or not, when he doesn't even know where his wife is.

Is this a punishment for him, because for many years he lived as a human being who was not grateful for the life he had? Constantly blaming God for taking away his vision?

He admitted, he used to hate his destiny so much that he had to live as a blind man who was useless and looked down upon by the world. He always thought of ways to end his life.

But that was before he met Zahra. Once the woman is present in her life, she can slowly understand what it means to be grateful. Even he was already very sincere if he had to spend the rest of his life as a blind man. And what else is his fault?

Does he now also have to be sincere, when separated from his wife? No!! He would never let go of his wife! That is so unfair to him!!

As his mind was wandering about thinking about Zahra, he suddenly felt a pair of soft palms covering his eyes from behind.

Rahul who still has not focused on the real world just enjoys the treatment, without thinking about who the owner of the soft hand is. His mind that was drifting somewhere seemed to make him think, if he was currently with Zahra.

"I love you. I love you my Belle" Rahul said with a warm smile.

"I love you to my baby honey" replied the hand owner with his cherry.

Rahul was surprised to hear a voice so familiar to him. He immediately removed his hand from his eyes and turned around. His bad mood made him glare sharply at the woman.

"You? What are you doing here?" Hardik Rahul with high tone.

"I just wanted to bring you lunch. Ever since you got back here, I haven't seen you eat anything. Look, I brought you your favorite food. There are fruit sandwiches, tandoori chicken, pasta and your favorite drink, strawberry juice. I remember you loved this food. Especially if I bring it, you are always enthusiastic to eat it. Aye right? You must remember, right?"

Amora said sweetly and mesraanya while pointing at the food in a tray on the table.

"I don't have time to remember my past with you. But three things I want to remind you of. First, there is no need to be so considerate of me, because I can take care of myself. Second, I am not a child. If I'm hungry, I can take it myself in the kitchen, or call the waiter to bring the food here.

Third, please take care of your attitude. I don't like the way you're going into my room to even touch me like that"

Rahul said in a low voice, trying to maintain his patience in the face of the presumptuous attitude of the woman who was his sister-in-law.

"Why are you angry anyway? I used to be used to doing things like that. Even more than that" Amora held onto Rahul's wrist and spoke with a sad look on her face, trying to attract the man's sympathy.

Rahul immediately pulled his hand from the woman's grasp with a sharp look.

"That wasn't the time. There is a difference between then and now. We used to be both single. Not yet bound by the sacred promise of marriage. Different from now. We both already have a partner who comes from a sacred relationship. So please keep your limits. It is not appropriate for a wife to enter the room of a man who has the status of his sister-in-law, especially if there are only two of them in the room.

"Well, imagine if Gala saw this, what would she think? Please don't put my life in trouble again for the second time Amora. Because at this time the burden of my mind is very much" Rahul said blazing. That woman's behavior really made her sick.

"Why are you acting so hard on me? You still angry and hurt by what I did first? I admit I was wrong. I shouldn't have been unfair to you after you sacrificed your life to save me from that accident. I did it because of the insistence of Mama who kept pressuring me to leave you"
