The Heart (Nadira)

episode 02

After telling everything to this friend and employee. Dira was a little calm. At least the problem that became the burden of his mind was already divided. Dea who also did not know what to give advice, could only strengthen her best friend.

" You better ask God for guidance, I'm sure you can face all of this."

Dea said, hugging her best friend.

" Thank you, De, you always listen to my story."

Reply Dira, while stretching out the embrace.

" I go down first yeah, let me just record all the customer's grocery list."

Dea said while taking a paper containing a shopping list of loyal customers of their shop.

...****************...

Time is rolling on, right now, a wedding is being held between Dira and Alby. Three months ago, their parents met. And now the marriage is in sight. This event is only kabul. Neither Dira nor Alby wanted a reception.

Both of their parents could not do much. They're just according to what Dira and Alby want. Now Dira is beautiful with white kebaya and makeup that adorns her face. The guests were present only from relatives and close neighbors. Dira only invited Dea, and 3 employees who helped in his online store.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the pledge was spoken. Alby with a single breath, had legitimately become Dira's husband. And now Nadira, has legitimately become the wife of an Alby Rafadian. The event was very simple. But the sacred impression is still felt. Nadira hugged Mommy and cried. So too with the father. Weeping should color the wedding between Nadira Sofia and Alby Rafadian.

After everything is done. Both the guests and the immediate family have gone home. Now the two newlyweds, entering the room. The room will be the witness of their first night. Dira was opening up the decoration on his head, when Alby opened his voice.

Alby's words, made Dira stop his activities.

" Tomorrow? Why so fast? "

Nadira has little objection to Alby's decision.

" Faster, better."

Reply Alby cold.

" And, after this, you can still do activities before we get married, I won't ban you."

He said as he passed to the bathroom and brought a change of clothes.

Nadira was stunned for a moment, what kind of marriage he would live in at this time. The marriage of the two foster parents. Nadira accepted this as a sign of his devotion to the two parents who had contributed to him. After Nadira finished opening the decoration on his head, when Nadira wanted to open the hijab that covered his head. Alby came out of the bathroom and looked at her for a moment. Then step towards the door.

" You go to sleep first, I'll get out. No need to wait for me."

Alby said before opening the door. Nadira stared at Alby's departure. I don't feel her tears dripping. The man who had been her husband this morning was perfectly legal, being so cold to her. Nadira didn't expect, it would hurt like this.

Nadira did not close her eyes. Time has shown past midnight. There's no sign Alby's coming home. After tired of waiting, Nadira finally fell asleep. Nadira gasped to wake up when the sound of the morning adhan echoed. He could not find Alby beside him. But his heart again throbbed in pain, seeing Alby sleeping on the couch. Alby didn't want to be around.
