The Chosen Heart

Episode 18's

The car took them back down the street. Several times Bella asked the direction of Zahwa's house because she did not know the street.

After all, he hadn't lived in that city in a long time. It's only here on vacation and it's never too long.

"That's my house. Just go in" said Zahwa .

Bella turns her car around and enters Zahwa's yard.

"Cool your house" praised Bella after getting out of the car and looking around the house.

"My father-in-law used to be an architect.So maybe this is his design house too." Zahwa.

"Oh yeah? Surya also majored in architecture in Cairo, right? Is your husband too?" Ask Bella.

"Yes, that's how it is" replied Zahwa. He immediately invited Bella into the house.

"Assalamualaikum" hail Zahwa. There's no one. Maybe the others are somewhere else.

Zahwa allowed bella to sit for a while and she headed to the kitchen to grab a drink.

"Are there no people?" Ask Bella. Seeing that no one had met him.

"Maybe in a room or in another room" Zahwa replied

He poured the juice into the glass he was carrying earlier, and gave it to Bella.

"It's different from my in-laws house. The house there was never empty like this. Sometimes I get annoyed at not being able to concentrate at work" bella said

"But you're used to it, at least you don't feel lonely" Zahwa said

Bella smiled, if she told me about how her home was there. It will look like a difference.  That will make him understand that they are not the same anymore.

Her life was very different before she got married.

"I'll just say goodbye" said Bella after letting go.

"Why rush? Stay a little while longer" Rengek Zahwa. It means he'll be lonely again.

"No way, I need to get home quickly. It's been too long since I've been out. Jauhar must be waiting for me at home" Bella said

Actually it's not that. Bella thinks more if later she has to meet Surya and Zahwa's husband.

If only Surya was okay. But if Zahwa's husband also goes to see her. And he knows that he and Surya know each other? The problem would be complicated again, if he knew that Zahwa had also known him first.

"Well, if there's any time left to play here" Zahwa said at last.

Bella smiled and said goodbye and quickly left the courtyard.

"Have you gone home to Zahwa? Who were you taking you with?" Ask Surya. He had seen Bella's car still did not know who the driver was.

"Sister Bella, she came home immediately." Answer Zahwa.

"Oh... Too bad, I haven't seen and heard from her in a long time either. She's okay, right? I heard she was married and had a child" Surya said.

"Yes, she is married and now lives with her husband and her in-laws."

Zahwa wants to sit down with Surya. But his body seems to be tired.

"I went up, brother" said Zahwa and left him. Surya nodded and smiled faintly.

"Keatas same thing she wants to be with her husband. Come on Surya, don't you forget that she's already your sister's wife" Surya told himself.

Zahwa entered the room and she breathed a sigh of relief as she did not find her husband in the room.

He started to break his body. Take off her tired. And it didn't feel like he was asleep.

Tonight Surya intends to meet Mr. Rosyid many questions for him. Especially about Zahwa and Hanan's marriage.

Surya's car entered the parking lot of a restaurant. This place has been promised Mr. Rosyid to meet. Because it might be close to his office too.

Surya went straight to the place where Mr. Rosyid was. He had already arrived apparently .

"Good night Ruslan sir" Sapa Surya greeted him as he shook hands with her.

"Sury Night, long time no see," said Ruslan. He looks familiar with Surya.

"Yes sir. I just returned from Cairo a few days ago" Surya said.

After the pleasantries asked for news and some other issues. Surya started asking about Zahwa and Hanan's marriage.

"Actually I also do not know mas.Because the incident was so unexpected. I also first met Hanan's wife back then. But your father at the time of the accident was apparently still conscious. Both of Zahwa's parents are in a coma and his safety is no longer guaranteed. So does your mother."

"Your father called me, at that moment he asked for an inheritance letter. A little talk about Zahwa's parents. He said it was Zahwa's parents who asked Hanan to propose to Zahwa. They love each other. At first your father did not believe it, because they also still met them several times. But after finding a photo of Zahwa in a blue box in Hanan's room. Your father decided to accept Zahwa" said Mr. Rosyid

"Blue box sir?" Surya asked in surprise. What I mean is his blue box.

"About that blue box, I have absolutely no idea. Zahwa and Hanan come they don't seem to know each other, but at the same time they are told to marry your father. Without thinking about the reason, they agreed to get married. Maybe that way can make the condition of his parents improve," continued Mr. Rosyid

Surya fell silent.If that's true, Surya is what Zahwa's parents mean. Maybe at that time Zahwa's parents did not know fully find out about him, only knowing that his son liked the son of his parents. Moreover, at that time they were unconscious and the blue box was found in Hanan's room.

"Surya, what's wrong? What the hell are you thinking? Is there a problem with their marriage?" asked Mr. Rosyid, he also looked worried and curious.

"No. They're fine" Surya replied, hiding his thoughts.

"Thank God, even so they are actually very suitable" said Mr. Rosyid. Surya smiled thinly.

"All right, sir, thanks for the time. If I ever need any more help, can you help me and Hanan?"

"By pleasure, you are like family. Your inheritance has the same right.  So don't worry" said Mr. Ruslan

Some time after that Mr. Ruslan said goodbye to go home first, because suddenly there was a problem in his house. Surya.

Surya did not go home.  The thing he had just known made him even more confused as to what to do. If Zahwa finds out about this, will she continue to marry Hanan?

"Why? It was as if fate was playing tricks on me," said Surya, he regretted himself . Because when he found out everything he couldn't do anything.

If he has the same rights does he also have the right to Zahwa? More than all the rights granted by him the right to Zahwa is what he wants.

He cannot forget that he still loves Zahwa. Although he had told himself many times that the right had become his own brother's.

If he could be more willing not to have any inheritance rights.  Willing to exchange it for Zahwa.

But Zahwa is not an item or anything that can be inherited.

"I have to talk to Zahwa" he said and immediately left the restaurant in his car.

"No! If he talks to her at home. Hanan will be suspicious," thought Surya he seemed to think hard.

Arriving at the house Surya was impatient to find Zahwa, all corners of the room he was looking for but not visible existence.

Surya's eyes were fixed on one of the rooms that was the only one he had yet to go to. Zahwa and Hanan's Room.

"Home home yet ? some of your friends came here. They're looking for you, but you're not there." Hanan said, no matter when he was already next to her.

"Why didn't you call me?" surya

"I've done it. Look at your phone" Hanan said

Surya saw his phone and some calls from Zahwa and hanan. 

"I turned off the phone" Surya said.

Surya wanted to leave, but was stopped by Hanan again.

"I want to talk to you" Hanan said. He looks serious. He wanted Surya to follow him.

"What's wrong?" ask Surya. After the two were in the pavilion beside the house. Sit side by side in a chair that is already located there.

The night wind hit the faces of the two without a veil.

"What exactly is your relationship with Zahwa?" Ask Hanan directly. She wanted to know what reaction her brother would show.

"You mean?" ask Surya. He wanted to know exactly where Hanan was going. If he answers rashly there is only a misunderstanding.

"Some of your friends knew Zahwa well. Have you ever met and even known?" ask Hanan

"Actually he was my junior brother in college and he was quite famous among his older siblings" Hanan replied.

Although he wanted to speak the truth but as if something was preventing him.

"That's why Zahwa looked tense the first time he met you at the airport and the next time his attitude changed, as if he was afraid to be near you" Hanan said. He's still figuring out the truth.

"Yes. Maybe she was surprised, because she didn't think I was her husband's sister. Hahahaha," said Surya, melting the atmosphere.

"But why was he so scared.  If you've got it wrong, it's unlikely. You defended her so much when I accidentally pissed her off."

"Maybe not afraid but groggy. I used to be quite popular on campus, maybe he was one of my fans." Resist Surya with a grin. Really confident.

Hanan chuckled, amused by such a reason. Seeing her brother's reaction like that. Hanan can guarantee that at this time they still want to cover up the truth about their relationship.

"What are you thinking?" Ask Surya. Find out what was troubling his sister's mind.

"No. I once thought that you and Zahwa had been in a relationship before" Hanan replied. He said without pause.

Surya remained silent. He knew Hanan was very sensitive. But this time, even though he lied he let it go. As if he accepted that that was the reality.

"All right, I'm going to sleep. Zahwa must be waiting for me. Good night, Mas Surya," Hanan said with a smile. I don't know what that means.

"Good night" replied Surya .

It was actually a moment before he conversed with Hanan in the pavilion. Zahwa sent a WhatsApp chat to her. Saying that don't talk about their real relationship.

Surya had not yet returned it. Because he himself did not understand the meaning.

Hanan's attitude was as if he knew but didn't want to admit it. Zahwa added to his turmoil by asking not to tell him the truth.

If in the picture actually he was a victim of infidelity or being an affair.

"Solar, will I make you some coffee?" ask bik asih.

I don't know where his consciousness is.  He was completely unaware of the presence of people around him.

"May bik, two yes, Bik" Surya replied with a slight smile

Without asking pasih assented and came back with two cups of coffee.

"Is aunt sleepy? If I can't talk yet," Pinta Zahwa

He didn't ask, but asked.

Talking in a compassionate manner will probably calm her down a bit. There was at least someone he was talking to right now.

"What's up to mas? How do you look upset?" Ask bik pasih.

Surya smiled, hearing a loving question.

"What do you think is that?" Ask surya tease.

"Yo understand to mas. This aunt is not too old Lo . Aunty was also young, but in aunty era there was no bad word like now," replied the pity. Makes Surya laugh.

"That means you've also been in love with dong?" tanya Surya teases.

"Yo must to mas, until Iki," answered the pikasih with Javanese accent, he hit Surya's arm timidly. Makes Surya unable to hold back his laughter.

"Certain, Bik. It used to be how young," exclaimed Surya. He looked happy to tease the middle-aged woman.

"Come with me mas. Time used to be the same today different mas.First if you like the same someone is shy. Meet you dare not, must ndelek tour isin."

"Keep how, Bik? If it keeps going how the person you like can know how aunty feels?" ask Surya.

"Isn't this aunty's story? Don't tell anyone, yeah." Answer the pasih. Surya is getting amused at the explanation pikasih.

"No bik, promise." said Surya

Bikasih squinted, figuring out that Surya would keep his promise. Surya increasingly chuckles with compassionate behavior.

"Well I will tell you a story, but Lo promise not to be told in anyone," said the pity after seeing the seriousness of Surya. Although actually Surya is convincing himself not to laugh so as not to be offended.

"When aunt was young. Aunty likes her aunt's schoolmate, Mas. He's handsome, uh still ding," said the pikasih seen laughing at the memory of someone in the story.

"He's smart too. The class champion continues. Aunty used to like him because auntie's friends liked auntie's matchmaking with that guy. Long time like, but unfortunately the people do not like the aunt," said pity with a frown.

"Kok aunty knows that people don't like her? Did aunt shoot first and refuse?" ask Surya

"Okay, how's the story.Too me,"

Surya increasingly chuckles with compassionate behavior.
