"Mother, when bang Khalid came to see me, I just wanted to see him. I don't want to be treated"


"Sherin, I'll make sure Khalid comes home tonight, but you have to be cared for you are very weak. "


"The truth is ma'am, tell bang Khalid to see me"


"Yes, anyway tonight Khalid has to come home from his vacation"


"Just take Shafina on vacation, while I suffer alone" Sherina said.


"Mother, I want to bang Khalid who's waiting for me this is our son's wish ma'am"


"Yes, Khalid's mother called him first". Fatimah stroked elus on Sherina's back.

"Assalamuaaikum ma'am"


"Wa alaikum salam Khalid come home. Sherina was so weak, she just found me passed out in the kitchen. Now he's being treated"


"Yes mom, tomorrow it's night. Poor Syafina we just got to town A this afternoon, the night has to go home again"


Syafina, who had just come from the bathroom in the kitchen, heard her husband's words, and then sat on the bed watching him talk on the phone.


"But Sherin wants you to take him"


"Mom plis, I'm also tired of having to go home tonight"


"But promise to go home tomorrow? "


"Insha Allah" Khalid hung up his phone. Khalid took a deep breath, and massaged his forehead with his own fingers.


"Bang, did mom ask us to come home? "


"Yes, Sherina's sick she's being treated"


"Then come on, let's just go home, Sherin needs a brother"


"No, you why Fina, are you really letting go of your brother with Sherin, you don't want to keep your husband? "


"I can do anything else bang, in my heart I'm not willing. But inevitably I have to support my brother, even if you have to marry Sherin. I'm trying to be sincere, I'll let you marry Sherin"


"Syafina, it's not that kind of support you need. Brother wants you to keep your brother, not let him go"


Khalid so shed tears, he needed the support of his wife. He was frustrated and tired of the situation. Seeing that Syafina fell in love to see her husband.


"Abang sorryin Fina yes, Fina promised to keep the brother" Syafina wiped the tears on her husband's cheeks with a fingers. In her heart she was so happy to see her husband.


"Promise Fin to keep brother, brother won't marry Sherina. If tomorrow you give all of your brother's property to Sherina, you still want to accompany your poor husband? "


"Whatever I say, of course I will accompany my husband no matter what his circumstances." Syafina stroked her husband's cheek, then she kissed him on the forehead. Khalid felt a calmness permeate his two.


Syafina then brought her body closer to her husband, she hugged him. She knew Khalid's embrace would feel calm and strong. Khalid returned his wife's embrace, as Syafina's warm body poured energy on him.

On the way back to town B, Khalid kept quiet. Many times Syafina lured her to chat, but she was like there was no spirit, she preferred to be quiet and answer as necessary Syafina's questions to her.


Khalid seemed to be devastated, today he will take care of the transfer of assets belonging to Sherina.


"Ah am I so selfish yes, preferring a poor husband and letting him live to suffer. My husband should still be able to enjoy his labor all this time" inner Syafina in heart.


"Abang sure will give all the property of the brother to Sherin? "


"Yes my brother is convinced" Khalid replied without turning his head, focusing on the road ahead of him.


"Sorry Fina ya bang, brother already hard to build it from scratch Just for my sake brother gave it to Sherin. "


Hearing that Syafina became increasingly convinced her husband loved her very much, would not a man be happy if his wife allowed him polygamy. Why her husband is the opposite. Khalid preferred to live in poverty rather than polygamy.

Dendi had already obtained information about Tio Ardana Putra, but he would explain it to Khalid after Khalid had reached B city only. Because this morning Khalid called him back to town B this morning.


There is a great secret about Tio's time that Khalid must know, whether it is related to the attack on Shafina or just a coincidence. After Khalid returns, he will tell them all.

Khalid and Syafina arrived at the hospital, where Sherina was treated.


"Halid try you bribe Sherina, who knows she wants to eat if you bribe her, she said she wants her son's papa to bribe her" Fatimah said.


Khalid did not budge from where he stood, he just looked at Sherin. Syafina took her husband's hand.


"let's try it first" asked Syafina.


Khalid shook his head, Sherina's weak condition did not make him feel sorry even he felt faced with a poisonous snake.


"this is a bang" Syafina said again, then she pulled her husband's hand to get closer to Sherina.


"ehmm, maybe Syafina could already share with Sherina" Fatimah muttered inwardly, she was happy to see him.


Syafina took a bowl of porridge, and gave it to her husband. Khalid tries to feed Sherina, but Sherina happily accepts. Sherina tried to swallow the porridge, and Khalid fed her again, and Sherina spewed the porridge back. Her stomach is unable to accept it, Fatimah quickly retrieves the bucket so that Sherina vomits into the bucket alone. Sherina looked very tired as her entire stomach was spewed out.


"strange" murmured Syafina.


"if you can't eat porridge, just drink this warm tea first" Fatimah said. Sherina drank the warm tea Fatimah gave her.


Khalid stood glued to see it, Syafina was not like this he thought.


"he said he wanted papa from his son who bribed him, but why after being bribed by his brother did he vomit so much?" Shapeshina asked herself.


"Mom can we talk" Khalid then sat down on the couch. Fatimah followed.


"what do you want to say? "


"mom, I really can't marry Sherina, Syafina has betrayed me but I can't hurt her ma'am"


"but I'm pregnant with your son bang" Sherin chimed in on Khalid and his mother.


"my wife is Syafina. Sherina was just a victim of my carelessness and carelessness as well. Syafina does not deserve to be the victim of our actions"


"your branch can't do that" sherina protested.


"i'll take responsibility, once he's born, I'll take him home. Syafina would definitely consider her her own son"


"is she really Syafina?" Fatimah asked by looking at Syafina inside.


"yes ma'am, I'll think of him as my son"


"mom agrees, but what about Sherin"


"i don't agree ma'am, I want to take care of my own son. I want to be recognized as a legitimate wife"


"Sherin, I can move all my treasures into yours, today I do if you want"


"so unfortunately you are with the village girl, you are able to live poor only for the sake of the village girl" Sherin said in her heart.


"i don't want your treasure"


In Sherina's heart, she is tempted by Khalid's offer, but if she can get Khalid, she will get his fortune too.


"hmm I'd better hang on to get married"
