The Chosen Heart

Episode 96's

Zahwa came to try to feed Aunt Ami. Wardah who previously wanted to do this immediately gave a bowl of porridge that had been in his hands.

''Don't bother! Wardah used to bribe me." Reject Aunt Ami.

Ciut, the rejection he received again. Zahwa sighed, his body had been held so as not to tremble and still had a smile caving in.

''Wardah you were the one who bribed me.'' Said Aunt Ami.

Wardah doesn't feel good about Zahwa. But he also could not do anything and obey what Bik Asih said.

She knew that Zahwa was Hanan's wife. Of the man he waited every night for his arrival. From the man who was always his conversation every time Bik Ami's family was with him.

The family gave her hope that the married man would marry her. He will take her away and make her happy. He will love her just as much as Arjuna did to Shinta.

He knows Hanan. They were friends since childhood, he knew enough of Hanan's nature. How he is, and what he does not like. But he also never thought that later. Mother and Aunt Ami who had become his adoptive mother had chosen him to be his wife.

From that moment on, his heart fell in love. At that time, it was still in High School. However, the matchmaking seemed to close his heart tightly to no longer accept other men besides Hanan. His heart was already flowery when he heard the news or stories from Aunt Amin about Hanan's success. Sometimes, too, Aunt Ami gives photos of Hanan who began to grow up.

Whatever Hanan did in his life Aunt Ami told Wardah. He also rarely gets a call directly from Hanan's mother. They talk and joke together, like a son-in-law and a father-in-law.

Every time Hanan would do something big. With his field Wardah will pray for his success. Not infrequently he also gave alms to some people or orphans to ask for prayers so that Hanan get success and prosperity. He did this with pleasure. It was as if Hanan was the one who was right would be her husband.

He never asked if Hanan also knew that he and he would be in a match. Hanan's mother always said, that Hanan will marry the girl of her choice, her mother was very convinced of that. That's why Wardah never asked about the matchmaking.

But fate is playing out in his life. His heart breaks when he finds out that the man he's been yearning for, he prays and he's waiting for his arrival has been married. It was also in the desire of his parents. And he began to wonder if what he had done all this time was in vain.

It was not uncommon for him to linger prostrating at night just to pray for Hanan. Crying and crying, for all its success. However, that doesn't mean anything. He prayed for people.

''Wardah,'' He was surprised. All eyes are staring at him.

''What's up? I called you many times." Aunt Ami.

Zahwa was also looking at him. Could he be hanging on to his presence? that's what he thinks.

''Oh, sorry bi...'' Word Warda. He offered another bribe to Aunt Ami.

''I want to drink.'' Said Aunt Ami.

Wardah immediately took the water. However, he saw the cup on the empty nightstand. He forgot to fill it up.

''I'll get it in the kitchen, Zahwa bargained immediately.

''No need to Wardah, you take it to the kitchen.'' Reject aunt Ami.

Wardah's getting up. Again Zahwa shrieked and sat back down.And could still see Wardah taking the cup and rushed out of the room.

''You see, he's not usually quiet like that. She is a cheerful girl she also likes to joke. But, since you came he just kept quiet.'' Blaspheme Aunt Ami as soon as Wardah leaves.

''Forgive me, Bi. I didn't mean to make anyone else feel bad.'' Wardah.

''You better just go home. You're just Hanan's secretary. Wardah is Hanan's future wife. Although you may have a relationship, Hanan will marry Wardah. She was the soul mate her family chose for her.'' Added Aunt Ami

Zahwa's heart was racing. His body began to tremble. He was never that small in front of people. It felt like she wanted to tell the truth if she was the wife of her father. That she was also her in-laws' choice. He also got his blessing.

However, he held it all back Remember his initial goal was to get the family to accept him.

''Alright Auntie. I'll go, sorry if I bother you. And if anything can call me.'' Zahwa. He picked up his bag and then left.

''Ma'am, where are you going?'' ask Wardah

''I came out for a moment. You just continue to feed Auntie.'' Zahwa answered with a sweet smile.

Zahwa doesn't have a problem with Wardah. She's a nice girl, but maybe she's distracted by her presence. The beautiful girl was also the one who had been disappointed by the reality of her marriage.

Zahwa went around the house. The house is not as big as his house. However, it is quite large from other houses in the area. In 3 parts of the room. Front with a living room and two rooms, a fairly spacious living room, there are 3 rooms and also a family room. Last kitchen, along with the dining room. Still with 90s house design. He was not too long to know the parts of the house, because it was rectangular and the back of the house was of course the kitchen and bathroom.

''Are you looking for something?'' Hafiz asked a little to Zahwa's surprise.

''Ah, sorry. I'm just going around. Sorry if it's not polite Zahwa said.

''Please sit down, you must be saturated here. I'll get you a drink.'' Hafiz

Zahwa followed what Hafiz said. He sat on a different sofa in the living room.

''Don't bother. '' Zahwa said when hafiz wanted to go to the kitchen to get a drink.

But hafiz ignored and kept drifting backwards. Makes Zahwa not so good.

Suddenly his phone rang. She saw the name of her husband who called.

'' Assalamualaikum, ''' Salam Zahwa

''Waalaikumsalam, how are you? Did they trouble you? Did they say bad to you? What are you doing? Answer it? I was worried and finally couldn't bear to call you? at least tell me. I'm here_ '' Hanan Taka stopped talking.

''STOP!'' Zahwa. The moment made Hanan stop talking.

''I'm fine here, honey. They didn't do anything to me. I was just sitting relaxed. No one speaks bad either. Don't worry too much. They're your family and I'm sure they won't do me any harm.'' Zahwa. She was worried about her husband.

''Huh. Mercifully. I'm on my way there. Wait for me, Hanan said.

''Heh.Why are you into art now? I lost it if you can come here late afternoon or evening. I still want to talk to them and maybe, auntie needs my help.'' Zahwa.

''My wife left me at the hotel alone and now I'm missing her.'' Hanan said spoiled.

''Utu utu kacian. Here hug,'' said Zahwa reply spoiled.

''Scut. Gemes, want to kiss!'' Greget Hanan's.

Zahwa. It was so nice to tease her husband.

But without being aware. Someone was listening to their conversation. He stood against the wall, his body hollow, the bones of the joints as if powerless to hold his small body. His hand stroked his abnormally beating heart, as if it was pierced and pain was meaningless.

''I thought it would be nothing, but it felt like this sick.'' Said Wardah, and berahan backwards walk away from the conversation husband and wife.
