Seconds change minutes, minutes change hours, then change days, days change months and years without feeling two years already Salma lived in this country. his career as an IT consultant at a global oil company has been able to raise the financial level of Salma and he has been able to realize some dreams and his desire to change his family's life for the better. she has successfully renovated her parents' house, presenting both parents has also been done.for two years since her move to Cairo following her husband Salma never once returned to visit his mother, he said, they just use the communication tool connection to let each other miss and exchange news.

"father, I forgive Salma who has not been able to be honest with the true state of our marriage "

Salma muttered while wiping her tears that had been raining down her cheeks.

flash back on

"Salma.I hope you are not burdened by this marriage of ours, I do not want this bond to rob you of your future and happiness. Because I know your happiness is to be with someone you love..Rey "

Salma who had been listening to his conversation with Raziq had now begun to understand where he was going

" for one thing, of course, Raziq knew that it was very unlikely that the difference in beliefs would forever be a barrier to our togetherness "

his eyes looked pushy looking far beyond the horizon trying to find a definite answer to the reality of his life at this time

"you don't think it's impossible, it takes time, Salma's process isn't instant, I know Rey's a good guy and she loves you a lot too, actually he's just waiting for time to be able to ask you back with no difference"

Salma was increasingly bowed lethargic, clearly visible if on his face at this time the heavy burden that squeezed him

"about your feelings of love for Rey you don't have to waste energy to exterminate her. believe Salma at this time you only have to be as patient as GOD is still delaying your togetherness because God is still strengthening your feelings and hearts. although Rey is not one belief with us but in Rey there is the identity of a Muslim"

Raziq tries to give clues to Salma and Rey's relationship, though Salma doesn't want to expect too much

"i just don't want to hope in the doubt of the mas "

Raziq scrunched his forehead then smiled faintly

" Salma I know this marriage is just as burdensome to us ! "

"you mean ?! I really don't want this wedding, either ?"

Salma was shocked by Raziq's statement

it is appropriate that until now Raziq never approached me and asked for his right to me, he said in his heart.

Indeed, since marriage Salma and Raziq have never taken each other's rights even though almost 1 year of marriage was intertwined.

"you mustn't misunderstand Sal "

"if Raziq also did not want this marriage why did not Raziq reject it when we were betrothed ?"

"i just want to fulfill what was once the message of our late grandfather. "

"but like this we will only hurt each other a lot of people "

" you know Salma our late grandfather entrusted the trust that we will be betrothed and married, the most important thing is that we have fulfilled, our soul mate matters to where it does not matter "

"but what if our parents knew we both didn't want this marriage "

" Of course Salma we have this relationship, I will not demand anything from you as my wife, but I will still give some of your rights as a wife that is to give birth to a living, guarding and protecting you "

"So in other words we're just playing with this status of ours?"

Salma was a little emotional, because she did not fully understand what Raziq meant

" what kind of joke is this mas if we live a marriage but we do not exercise the rights and obligations in it. enter know what marriage is really ?, so mas want to play with the promise of a mas that has been pledged by calling God's asthma ?"

Salma was getting out of control like a bomb ready to explode

"listen to me first Salma, I did this not only for myself, you know this Salma matchmaking we've hurt a lot of hearts, me, you, Rey, and also Zahra "

Salma was stunned when a foreign-sounding name was mentioned by a woman

Raziq grabs Salma's hand and sits on the sofa

"forgive me Salma all this time I didn't tell you the truth, but I think it's time I told you "

Salma felt that she had mastered her emotions and tried to be a good listener.

" Zahra is the woman whom I have always loved, she is a woman who is godly, kind-hearted, gentle and friendly she is one of the students from Indonesia who managed to get a scholarship at the university Al-Az**.In order to avoid courtship and sin then we decided to get married "

"what...married ?! you guys married ?"

Salma looked so shyok

"yes we were married 7 months before we got married "

salma's tears could no longer be restrained somehow her heart was so sick hearing all this

" so I've become an actor, I've hurt my fellow women "

"no Salma you're not an actor, you're not that kind of woman, it's all my fault, and just so long as you know this marriage happened also with her consent and her advice "

" find me with Zahra mas "

"you will definitely meet later, you don't have to worry that I've told him everything that we've been used to together since childhood and I already assume you're like my little sister "

Salma was a little able to breathe a sigh of relief, but her mind was still hampered by some questions, how can a wife just let her husband marry another woman even with clear reasons

very noble in heart she must be an extraordinary woman, she said in her heart

" and now Zahra is pregnant with our future son Salma "

"mas soon found me with him, I did not want to disturb him with my presence in your household, Zahra is pregnant for sure this will be a burden on the mind and pregnant people should not be much thought because it will affect the growth and development of the fetus "

there is fear and guilt that is irregular now ravage Salma's heart and mind, as a woman she does not want to get bad predicate seizing people's husbands and other bad predicates

"you don't need to be this sweet as Salma, Zahra is a very strong woman. Later in the afternoon I will take you to meet her "

"well, the sooner the better so that soon we can also solve all this "

" you mean finish how Salma is ?"

Raziq was astonished by Salma's intentions

"Yes, now it is clear that our marriage must be ended quickly so as not to hurt us all, especially Zahra "

Raziq only smiled faintly to mean the words SALMA

" who will divorce you ?!"

chirp Raziq while blasting Salma's nose

"hah..mas will not divorce me??, wah mas Raziq has begun to maruk ya want to have a wife of two. hear yes mas I'm the most disagree with the name of polygamy"

"loh.. Why is it ? our religion allows us to be just as long as it can be fair "

Raziq increasingly teases Salma who is already out of anger, and guilt

"now that you'd better get some sleep, tomorrow we'll meet Zahra"

Raziq passed out of Salma's room to his room, while Salma was still confused by Raziq's confession
