The Second Husband's

Culture (Chapter.3)

The atmosphere began to calm down a little, the dark clouds began to fade, slowly the sun appeared, the two people seemed to be preparing to immediately come out of the forest.

"..I have to go back home... My husband must be worried about me right now, I don't want to make him feel anxious.( said Malaika in a hurry).

"...tp they'll definitely come back looking for you... What if something bad happened to you (said Adam so worried).

"...don't worry... I can take care of myself.(his murmur).

"...no no...!!! I'll take you home... Wait a minute....!!! (adam's love)

The man went back inside the tent to pick up something important.

"...you don't need to be like this Adam...!!! You have helped me a lot.(ask Malaika).

"...there'll be a lot of danger lurking over there... I'm just making sure you get home safely (Adam replied with a little force).

"...Adam... Please don't be like this...!!! (keep begging)

"...already... Come on!!! (call Adam with Malaika's hand)

Then the two set foot to leave the tent, Adam intended to deliver Malaika home safely, but unfortunately the good intentions even became a big problem for Malaika.

when they reached the village of Malaika, the people who saw their arrival seemed to sneer and look as if they had committed such a despicable sin.

Arriving at home, everyone who was there seemed surprised by their arrival, saw the mother-in-law of Malaika was very angry to see it.

"...women curse!!! (snapped the old woman with bulging eyes)... Here's what you do..Where all day not come home...!!!

"...Ma'am, I can explain all this.... He only helped me. nothing more. (his words were cut off).

"...Shut up!!.... You think we're stupid...!!! A street woman like you does not deserve to be in this house.. Get out of my house...!!! (snapped the woman)

"..Ma'am... Please...!!! He just helped me...!!! (ask Malaika with her cries)

"...lady you don't misunderstand me....!!! (plus Adam)

"...be quiet!!! Who let you talk.(snap the old woman).

Hearing the commotion, all neighbors flocked to enter the house, including community leaders who also wanted to see firsthand the chronology of the problem.

The crowd had begun to fill the room, Adam and Malaika as if they were in the congregation for indecent acts.

"...you see!!!! (take the old woman by pointing at the two young men)... Her husband was dying at home and she was having fun with the young man.... Where have you been since yesterday.... Is it true that you are working....!!! (the woman's screams are getting bigger and bigger)

Hearing his mother's loud voice, the man lying in the room seemed to be crying out for the fate of his wife, yes he was Harsha husband from Malaika who was sick for many years. he believed strongly in his wife he was sure that Malaika would not do as despicable as her mother had mentioned. But whatever the power, harsha can not defend his wife when faced with a big problem, he can only cry lamenting sadness. He was angry at himself for feeling useless as a husband.

Community leaders who witnessed it were concerned about the incident, they all seemed consumed by the words of Malaika's mother-in-law who stirred up.

"...this cannot be allowed...!!! They must be punished...!!! (and one of them)

"...really...!!! Doesn't our village have sacred rules...!!! (the other one)

"...agree...!!!! They must be married...!!! (plus others)

"...really...!!! And if they refuse then the woman must be killed... Then the body will never get any respect. (the other pulp).

Like lightning in broad daylight, Malaika who heard it looked surprised, her eyes glared with tears, the woman then walked up to her husband who was in the room, after Adam who also followed her.

She wept over her husband's body, both weeping at the same time lamenting fate.

"...I believe I never did anything that cruel, he's a good young man he just helped me from the pursuit of debt collectors... I worked hard all day... I also took a part-time job.... Tiba2 they chased me until I entered the forest.... And it just so happened that Adam was in the middle of the jungle on an adventure... Then he helped me from their pursuit... They almost killed me. Believe me I only love you one. You are the best man2 I've ever met.(said Malaika with tears).... I'm not going to betray you.(his crying is getting hysterical).

"..lihide!!! Never believe his words... She's a cheap woman... He uses your suffering to have fun with other men... He has betrayed you Harsha..!!! (his mother-in-law's words were getting louder and louder)

"...Wait let alone quickly decide to marry them... If not ... Our village will be cursed for what he did...!!! (another citizen).

Hearing that seems sincere harsha if indeed Malaika must marry the young man she just knew.

"...just follow their will, I don't want them to harm you... You're young and healthy.. Your future is long... As for me. (the speech stopped)... There is nothing you can expect from a paralyzed man like me.(saying harsha with sincerity).

"...Listen...!!! I will not marry any man but you (said Malaika by holding her husband's hand)....

"...they'll kill you... If you reject this tradition... Believe that... He will definitely be my good substitute by your side later.(harsha's answer seems to indicate despair).

"...no one can replace you in my heart.... He's the guy I just met, I don't want to involve anyone else in our problems... Listen!!! Even I would die if I had to for you... I would rather die than get married again (said Malaika with a brick).

Seeing that Adam was powerless, he immediately came out of the room, seeing such great love made him realize that all this time he had wasted the love of his family.

Not yet set foot on the ground outside the house, the residents stopped him and forbade Adam to go anywhere...

"...they must be married immediately...!!! (shouts from the citizens)

"...ayo hurry!!! Wait (plus the others).

Adam was brought back in by the citizens, two people clutching his right hand, two more in the other hand.

Malaika is still on her husband's chest.

"...come...!!! (harsha's love calls to Adam)

Then the young man approached Harsha.

"...I want to ask you one thing for help.... I don't want my wife to be fucked.... You have to live this tradition otherwise they'll kill him... I don't want my wife to suffer so much, you should be able to make her happy. (harsha's love).

"...harsha!!!... What are you saying!!! Don't you realize what you're saying.(say Malaika in a high tone).

"..listen to me Malaika... I don't want to get involved in this at all, but I don't want you to suffer because of my mistakes.... It'sfucking-lucky fault... It is my fault if only I did not insist on taking you home, this would not have happened.(so Adam said)... Let's just say this marriage is a black covenant on white... Legally and religiously we are married but I have absolutely no right to you.... After this wedding... We can get divorced whenever you want.... I just want to help you as a friend... No more. (ask Adam).

Adam's words slightly relieved his heart, the woman finally wanted to marry Adam and witnessed by her husband, both married with simple legal origin in the eyes of law and religion.
