The Chosen Heart Part 2

Dani : Unrest until the Peak.

Dani glanced at the clock on his right wrist. It was already one in the morning and Dani woke up all of a sudden. I don't know why. Maybe because there is too much waiting to be done. In addition to the business of work that is a lot, what makes him dizzy and restless is a woman named Anindita who came to bring her past story.

Dani saw Isna. Looking at the beauty of his face, which is equipped with the charm of his hair that every day always covered with a veil.

How indescribable the guilt that gripped Dani's heart. Dani has to stop the madness that Anin is doing. Whatever it was, Anin never had the right to impose his will and make Dani hurt Isna.

Dani stepped down from her bed, out of her room, towards the muholla. Dani wanted to spend all her contemplation in that place.

After taking the water wudhu Dani perform prayer tasbih. Dani needs strength to be honest with Isna whatever the risk.

Hopefully after the prayer, Dani's heart will be better able to decide.

Time keeps rolling, not stopping. It's been an hour Dani's thought about it. Tired feel.

If Dani could turn back the clock, Dani would go back in time, and would choose not to be caught in the wrong entanglement of love. But again, life cannot be imagined. Nothing will change even if the word 'smand' is said hundreds of times.

" Mad Dani?" someone's voice was heard, it seemed that besides Dani there were also humans who were still awake at night this late.

Dani turned his head, even without seeing Dani had a good idea who the owner of the voice was.

" Not slept yet, mbak?" dani's talk.

" Yo are up, Mas. I want to cook for sahur."

Dani gave a quick smile.

" Why,mas? The more complicated the problem?"

" Pri's mom knows what my problem is?"

" Just guess. It still has something to do with Anindita, right?"

" Why can Pri guess?"

" Because ever since he came, Dani's always been fretting, confused."

" Isna confided in Pri?"

" No, but I know that she felt a strange feeling in her husband. He's just probably self-serving."

Dani was silent, listening to the words of Mbak Pri.

" I'm supposed to behave like a mother?" he finally asked.

" Where do I know? What exactly is going on ?"

Dani just remembered that Mbak Pri did not know the real story about himself and Anindita these days.

" Anindita always sees me, ma'am. And forced me to obey what he wanted. If I didn't want to he would meet Isna and tell her all of our past. Crazy right?"

" I'm sorry, 'according to what he wants' is like?" mbak Pri's eyes suddenly look probing.

" Company him, have lunch, or whatever."

" What?"

" Please deh Mbak, his willingness to always meet me. Not the weird one. I'm not crazy, mbak."

" I'm sorry if I was wrong, ma'am. After all, Mas and Anin were once very intimate. Who knows about your heart. Whether you still hold a feeling or not."

" No, ma'am Pri. I already have a wife. Madness is the past."

" The past will stick to a lifetime, ma'am. It won't happen again, but it will be part of Dani's live album sheet. Couldn't tear that part apart, because the story isn't complete."

" Leave it incomplete. As long as Isna doesn't know."

" What exactly is Mas Dani afraid of when Teh Isna knows the story?"

" Oh, I'm afraid Isna's disappointed."

" For what?"

" Because it turns out I'm not who he thinks I am."

" Oala.mas Dani, mas Dani. You're just afraid of your good image being ugly in the eyes of Teh Isna? Is that selfish ?"

Dani slightly offended is called selfish. " me? Selfish?"

" yes. Especially if the name is thought only good names, fear of being ugly, until honesty is covered."

Dani remained silent. A few seconds his mind was trying to digest the words of Mbak Pri.

Yes, it must be admitted, even if later Isna knows about the story, what the hell is likely to happen?

If Dani has done something wrong in the past, is that human, right? The important thing is to repent and not repeat it again.

So then? What would be the worst possible outcome?

Dani is busy measuring. Isna wouldn't leave him just because of his past.

Honestly Dani.

Tell everything.

It's true that Pri said, it's just part of Dani's own selfishness.

Dani decides to tell Isna everything.

For Anindita, stopping all her arbitrariness on Dani.

Dani's cell phone notification reads. There's an incoming email. Dani opened her email through her phone. Email from Anindita.

What he saw in the email sent by Anindita was completely unexpected. A photo showing Dani and Anin in the same bed, in the same position as if they were talking*****.

Dani felt his head want to break looking at the picture in the photo. He knew, very well, that he didn't do that at all. He was asleep, closed his eyes, but Anin engineered, so in the photo Dani was seen closed because he was enjoying the ****** that they were doing. Moreover, the lingeri that Anin was wearing, looked fitting with that engineering scene.

Dani read Anin's writing

" My dear, I have a key that I'm sure will lock you in to continue with me. Keep following my wishes, or I'll send this picture to your lovely wife. So, you belong to me now."

Good Lord! I want Dani to scream loudly. Dani's lies have been so many, dragging him into mounting trouble.

This afternoon, just before Magrib Isna asked her whereabouts, Dani replied via chat, actually the one who did that was Anin. Dani is asleep helplessly.

Anin has taken over her life.

And earlier, when he came home still in a state of half-sleep, Anin driver drove him to the gate of the housing complex where Dani lived.

Rotten charade! How can Dani tell Isna the truth about what happened this afternoon?

But Dani really slept. No lying. That's what Dani had to tell his wife.

Whatever the reaction of Anin. If Dani had been honest, and Isna believed him, no matter how badly Anin tried to shake Isna's trust, his wife would not have been swayed.

Dani waited for the right time.

As usual, Isna prayed two rakaats in one third of the night. After that, he invited Dani Sahur together.

After the completion of the sahur Dani must immediately go to the Mosque to congregate at dawn.

Returning home from the Dani mosque found Isna already sitting on the terrace while feeding the fish.

" Neng Assalamu'alaykum."

"Wa'alaykumussalam Aa," Isna greeted Dani, kissing the back of her hand.

Dani sits next to his wife.

" Aa wants to talk."

" Speak," Isna replied, still looking towards the fish pond.

" Promise yes, don't get angry before Aa finishes talking."

Isna turned her gaze towards Dani. Those beautiful eyes stared questioningly.

Ah, Dani greatly admired the eyes of the Angel.

" What does Aa want to talk about?" Isna curious.

Heavy for Dani to make a sound. Finally, after praying in his heart, Dani strengthened his heart.

" About Anindita. About Aa's past with her. It should never have opened, but Dita made everything have to Aa open for Isna. If it wasn't Aa who told the story, Dita would have told Isna everything."

" Yes, then what?"

" Mmm. sorry before, Dita and Aa never. Aa's son."

Like hearing a thunderbolt in the middle of a clear day, Isna felt her ears unable to accept it .

For a few seconds the woman felt that her husband was working on her.
