The Heart that Chose

Chapter 72

Khalid approached the three people who seemed to be chatting. He immediately invited his wife to come home and rest at home.

"Syafina come home with me"

Syafina who realized her husband was already there threw her face away, she looked towards the lake. His face was bent and pouted. He won't talk.

"Come home, baby"

But Syafina sat back on the bench.

"Fina" Khalid took his wife's hand.

"Are you more comfortable talking to a stranger than your own husband?"

"Ehmm, it's not like that"

"Come home, Shafina, you must be worried waiting for you at home" . Khalid drew his wife's hand, Syafina, and stood up.

"Terimaksih has taken care of Syafina" Khalid told Reyhan and Arsya. The two men nodded.

Syafina then opened the jacket that enveloped her body, and returned it to Reyhan.

"Thank you for the jacket"

"Yes" Reyhan nodded as he accepted the jacket.

Khalid then opened his suit which he had worn yesterday in his blanket to his wife's body and then he put his arms around her waist they both walked towards Khalid's car .

Reyhan and Arsya looked at the woman, staring at her departure with her husband. Reyhan breathed a sigh of relief at her because he was very worried about Syafina's health if he remained here.

While Arsya closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In his heart he was also relieved that Syafina had finally returned home. But he was very sick to see Khalid who seemed to show off hugging Syafina in front of him.

Dendi then follows Khalid, while Reyhan and Arsya are still quietly sculpting. Arsya then sat on the bench that was nearby.

"I don't want Syafina to be hurt by her husband"

"We don't know their household problems"

"Somehow the problem is that Syafina is clearly hurt. I see it's very heavy on his mind."

"I agree"

"Hhhh why her parents forced her to marry Khalid, I'd rather you marry her"

"Hahaha, it turns out that you want to give up on me, not wrong ? " Sontak Reyhan laughed at Arsya's words.

"At least you won't make Syafina cry"

"Now it's better if we help him if anyone wants to harm Fina"

"But her husband had hired two body guards to take care of her"

"In the future maybe Fina will always be guarded by a bodyguard. But I'm still wondering who set you up, and who was behind the multiple attacks on Fina"

The dawn prayer was heard from the nearest mosque. Reyhan and Arsya flinched, they already had to get away from that place

"Maybe we'll talk about it another time, I've left the room a long time" Arsya stood up.

"Yes, I also have to go home" Reyhan replied.

They both left the place

Khalid and Shafina had arrived at their home, Zaenab had been waiting for them in the living room. Because he felt bad.

"Fina, Mama's been waiting for you"

"Yes ma, may I rest in my room ma. We'll talk later"

"Israhatlah, it looks like you're very tired".

Fina nodded, then she walked towards her room. After arriving at Khalid's room immediately took a bath, he felt his body was very dirty. Feeling angry and disgusted with himself. Long she stood under the shower flushing her body with cold water.

Syafina waited for her husband to finish cleaning himself, Because he also wanted to ablude because the dawn prayer had long since they were on the way. Khalid came out of the bathroom.

After they finished their morning prayers, Syafina lay down she wanted to go back to sleep. A moment to forget what has happened, now he has to think about the fetus in his womb. He needs to rest. Syafina had not rebuked Khalid at all since the trip.

After a few minutes of lying down Syafina finally fell asleep, only Khalid, who felt very tired, would usually ask Syafina to scold him. But this is impossible to see the condition of Syafina. Not seeing him angry was already profitable.

Khalid tried to close his eyes, actually he was still very sleepy let alone the effect of sleeping pills that were consumed by him. And after a while Khalid fell asleep too.

****

In the morning, there were only Fatimah, Zaenab and Salman. Fatimah had sent Lastri to call Khalid and Syafina.

"Sorry Madam, Mr. Khalid and Non-Syafina didn't say the door was locked either"

"Maybe they are sleeping, let them both rest" Zaenab replied.

"It's already 07.30. usually they both stay awake despite sleeping last night" said Fatimah.

"Where are they really? "

"They went to the doctor 01.20 they left, Sherina too. But Sherina's not coming home"

"Why did they go to the doctor?"

"She wanted to see if Sherina was right to rape him or not"

"You know Zaenab. Forgive me for my son's behavior" Fatimah looked down embarrassed.

"It's all happening" Salman replied.

"We both just feel sorry for Syafina, she wants to stand up for her husband. Last night he said Khalid was not necessarily guilty. But Zaenab had not had time to ask the results of the doctor's examination of Sherina"

"Yes bi, I see they're both very tired.let them rest first"

"You're right, let's have breakfast first"

****

Syafina had already woken up from sleep, now it was 10:00. Syafina had finished bathing, she was dressed in mustard-colored pregnant women's gowns and black instant hijab. Makes her white skin more visible.

Syafina saw Khalid who was still asleep, there was a pity in Syafina's heart to see her husband who looked very tired.

"You're a victim, but I'm disgusted by your behavior. And I was also wrong to let you go, even though you have invited me to go there" Syafina spoke to herself.

"Imagine your actions I can't do it, especially if you have to take responsibility for your actions. I can't think about it. I'm a woman who doesn't want to share"

"Do I have to forgive you ? " a clear grain dripped from Syafina's eyes upon her husband's hand, and Khalid opened his eyes.

Seeing that her husband had woken up, Syafina hurriedly wiped her tears. But the tears came out again.

"Fina, don't cry baby. You've had so many tears" Khalid woke up he wanted to wipe away the tears on his wife's cheeks. Syafina brushed off her husband's hand.

"are you angry with me? " asked Khalid, Shafina did not answer.

"What do I have to do to forgive me? " Khalid asked again.

The one asked was still silent and did not want to open his voice.

"Okay, you look so tired. Come on, we're having breakfast, it's noon"

Khalid stood up and he took his wife's hand to stand. Syafina stood up and followed her husband down.

At the table Syafina seemed to have no appetite, the food in front of her did not stir her taste.

"Come on a little meal, for our son Fin" Khalid persuaded his wife.

"Any bribe? " without waiting for his wife's consent Khalid fed his wife, Syafina accepted. She ate the food that her husband fed her. It did not feel like a little more the contents of Syafina's plate, when Sherina came to the house.

"Mother mother.." He called Fatimah's mother. Fatimah who was in the exit room heard Sherina's voice quite loud. Sherina sees Khalid feeding his wife.

"Cihh, friendly pretentious. A problem this big is still a bribe"

"What's up Sherin? " Fatimah approached Sherin.

"Mother, Bob dropped a talaq on me"

"Astagfirullah" said Fatimah.

"Mom I want to stay here"

Khalid and Syafina heard everything, they were not surprised. But Khalid doesn't seem to like it. He stood up straight.

"You can't stay here, this is my house and Syafina"

"But bang, mom... Where do I live? "

"Don't whine, you can live anywhere as long as not here, rent an apartment or rent a house. You can also buy".

"Yes Sher, for now you live somewhere else" said Fatimah.

"I don't have any money for that" Sherina's face paled

"I paid" Khalid replied firmly

"Why can't I just stay here? , after all you're going to marry me too. everything was proven last night from the results of the doctor's examination"

Salman massaged his chest hearing Sherina's words, his body felt weak to hear that.is really his son-in-law has raped Sherina, but it has been proven.

Salman then approached Syafina, seeing her daughter seem to bear a very heavy burden.

"Mom and Dad want to talk to you, outside, yeah, in the side garden"

Syafina nodded her head then followed her papa to the side porch of her House.
