The Heart that Chose

Chapter 80

In the evening Khalid and Syafina sat in the living room enjoying a television show, Fatimah approached them. Fatimah then sat on the sofa next to Syafina.

"Fina can I talk to you for a second ?"

"Well, ma'am, what do you want to say"

"Can I just go to Fina's room?"

"Yes ma'am" Syafina nodded.

"Bang, am I in mom's room? "

"Iya Fina" In Khalid's heart already knew the purpose of his mother to take Syafina to speak. Must have asked Syafina for permission to marry Sherin.

"Sayfina must be crying again tonight"

In Fatimah's mother's room, Shafina sat by her in-laws' bed. Fatimah sat beside him.

"Fine"

"Yes ma'am" Shafina looked at Fatimah's mother.

"Before I apologize for Khalid's actions, you may have cried a lot because of this problem"

"Yes ma'am, Bang Khalid my husband. My problem is also"

"Maybe Khalid told you, I asked him to marry Sherina."

"Yes, bang Khalid's been telling you the story"

"Syafina mother very much expects the greatness of your heart, giving your husband permission to marry again"

Syafina is like getting a really hard slap. Giving her husband permission to remarry, that's impossible.

"O Allah, I want to be a righteous woman in heaven, but not by allowing my husband to remarry" Shafina said in her heart.

"You can refuse. But the answer I want is that you allow your husband to remarry."

Syafina's glassy eyes heard her in-laws' request, a very difficult request for a wife to grant.

"What if I refuse? "Syafina ventured to ask back to her in-laws.

"Khalid will give all his property to Sherina instead, as your wife choose whichever. I don't think it's so bad if your husband marries again, you can still be the same. You just need to be sincere Syafina."

"It's easy for you to ask me sincerely, don't you think what if she's in my position?" Syafina only dared to protest in her heart.

"Will I think about it again, now can I get out mom? " syafina's chest was already feeling very tight to hold back her tears that were about to spill.

"Yes, please. I'm sorry I made you sad. Either way I have to tell you this"

"Not what mother" Syafina turned her body, then she hurried out of Fatimah's mother's room, she ran to her room crying.

Khalid was watching television actually he was not so focused on the show he was watching. His mind was on his wife who was in his mother's room.

A bell rang, and Lastri opened it. Sherina breezes into the house, where she sees Khalid sitting alone as Sherina approaches her. Sherina sat next to Khalid.

"Well, what's mother? " Sherina basa stale.

"Mom's fine, why are you still here? "

"I want to look at my mom"

"That's just the reason, your goal is you're actually inciting mom"

"Why can't I see my kindness, always think badly of me?"

"You'd better go home. I bought you a house, you want to let alone. Do I need to give you all my property? "

"What do you mean, what do you think I want my brother's treasure?. Salaah brother !"

"I'm sorry Sherin, I can't marry you. I'll give you my entire fortune in exchange".

"Harta is not my goal, It has been a dozen years that I have loved you bang just as much as you a dozen years of loving Syafina. You've got Syafina and so will I soon have my love. What is wrong if I fight for my love? "

"Did Syafina also love her brother in early marriage, didn't she? Love grows after you live together . Brother please understand me."

Khalid this time really riled with Sherina.

"It's so thick this woman, don't understand that I don't love her" Khalid said heartily.

"Sherina, I'm sick of talking to you. You better go home now don't come here again !"

"Okay, I'm going home but I want to see you first"

"No way, you go home now. Don't you seduce me again" Khalid pulled Sherina's hand.

Sherina saw Syafina coming out of Fatimah's room, Syafina was seen crying and stepped in a hurry. Sherina smiled a faint smile looking at him. Very happy she saw Syafina crying

"Mom must have asked Syafina to allow Khalid to marry me"

"All right, I'm going home now, and wait for me to come back as your wife" Sherina smiled, making Khalid throw a face at the smile.

****

In her room Sherina tried to hold back her tears, her tears were wiped off using the tip of her shirt. He doesn't want to keep crying. Syafina tried hard to face if her husband really married Sherina later. That possibility could happen, even that possibility is huge.

Syafina opened the window of her room letting the wind in from the window, in this way it might be able to calm her troubled mind. Syafina took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. He repeatedly did so until he felt somewhat calm.

"I have to be strong if my husband marries Sherina, will leaving him calm down ? No, I'm selfishly selfish. My husband will be ruined if I leave him".

Syafina argued with herself on the one hand she could not share a husband, on the other hand she felt sorry for her husband who had to face his own problems if he later left.

Khalid ran to the room to see Syafina. He was worried about his wife. Khalid opened the door of his room when he saw Syafina standing by the window facing out, The night wind was cold coming in from the window.

"Tumben Shafina opens the window, usually the day is closed" Khalid said.

"Why are the windows open, baby? "

"I just want to get some wind, maybe this will calm my mind"

"Ouh, that's why you were looking for wind by the lake? "

"Ehmm" Syafina nodded.

"Sorry brother has made your mind uneasy"

"Oh, don't talk about it again. I don't want to discuss the matter anymore" Syafina hugged Khalid's waist with one hand.

Feeling comfortable for Khalid being hugged by his wife, he returned his wife's embrace.

"You cold? " khalid whispered in Syafina's ear.

Syafina nodded.

"Ang close the door first huh, your mind has calmed down right? "

Syafina nodded again, Syafina took off her embrace. Syafina let Khalid close the window.

Syafina looks back at her husband's back, maybe this is the last moment together, there will soon be Sherin among them and of course Khalid will slowly love Sherin and will share his time with Sherin. Or even he could not be able to share with Sherin and in the end he gave up leaving.

"I must make you happy at this last moment" Shafina then hugged her husband from behind, Khalid turned her back and returned his wife's embrace. They miss each other, they miss very much.

Khalid kissed his wife, and Syafina returned the treatment. The two of them tonight let go of each other's long-buried longs.

****

It's been two days now that Reyhan and Arsya are looking for the man on the cctv tape, but there's no result. The two of them sat chatting in the hospital cafeteria.

"I think we should just tell Syafina, maybe she's seen this guy around her house or maybe she's been following him. " Said Reyhan.

"Just try to tell Fina, if I say her husband will misunderstand ".

"Okay, tomorrow I'm going to Syafina's house"
