The Second Wife

Part 097Fill Yasmine's Letter

With tightly closed lips, eyes that looked, his heart began to speak reading every sentence that was on the paper. Which immediately made him shed tears, his heart was broken into pieces, he never thought if Yasmine's desire remained the same.

It was inconceivable that he finished the reading, but he was also curious. 'Why, Yas?' heart wonders. Don't tell him to be okay, because he's not okay. His heart was full of guilt.

'Is it wrong if I tell my husband to keep his word? It's wrong if I want to see my best friend happy. Because, only Mas Alfin could patiently face Yasmine. Yes Allaah, I'm sorry if my decision hurt my best friend, ' she said as she finished reading the paper and hugged it tightly.

Not only Alifa, the mother also cried as she read the handwriting of the child. Now Radiah's mother knows why the princess came home from school with her eyes puffy. maybe it's all because all her colleagues already know.

Radiah's mother then calmed Alifa, although honestly she also needed to calm down. Because he was also sad, he only learned of the decision of the princess who he thought was very devastating. Whether when his daughter would come back again if it was like this, he was also sure his husband and first child did not know this.

"Mom, did I hurt her so much?" alifa asked in the arms of her best friend's mother who was like her mother.

"No, Son. In the letter, Yayas also wants you to be happy, so you can't be like this. Mom just doesn't turn on you, this has to happen, Lif. People's feelings can't be forced, right?" Radiah's mother rubbed Alifa's back.

Alifa did not answer, she remained as much as in the arms of Radiah's mother.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" someone's voice made Alifa and Rawiah's mother break their arms. "That looks like Alfin, Lif," Mother said.

"Wa'alaikumsallam," Alifa replied in a claustrophobic voice.

"Come, Son!" shouting mother.

Not too long after, Alfin appeared. Alifa who was sad then stood up and hugged her husband. "Mas, Yayas Mas," he said stopped.

Alfin who did not understand what was happening was just confused, and reflexively hugged the wife who immediately cried in his arms.

"What's up, Lif? What happened to Yasmine?" ask Alfin while rubbing Alifa's back.

Mother stood up from her seat, she only smiled briefly at her daughter-in-law. "See me down, son. Your husband," said the mother.

"What's up, ma'am?" asked Alfin who was really curious because his wife who was crying sounded so bitter. Like the cry of the past.

"Here, Mas." Alfie released himself from his husband. He also wrote a letter he had just read.

Alfin frowned in surprise, yet he still received the piece of paper. Then, the man began to read the handwriting that really looks neat.

...💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌...

...Assalamu'alaikum, Lif, Al .......

...Thank you for all your affection, I am really happy to be between you two. You know .. when the hurtful taste is maintained, it will all be in vain, because it will return again to the taste to come....

...I do not want, my departure to calm the heart in tears let alone to regret. Be happy, for I will be happy if you are both happy....

...I just want one, finish my relationship with you Al. If you want to see me happy. Because being me is not easy. My heart is not as strong as steel. My heart is weak, boneless. Eating it once hurts, I won't be strong enough to hold on....

...Everyone knows that I am the second wife of my best friend. That's why, I'm leaving. I'm tired, I want to be alone, not I mean .. alone with my son. Pray that I'm okay here, and I will pray that you're okay....

...Hopefully we can still be friends, even if it is no longer the same. Can meet again when Allaah gives us a chance to meet again in a happy time....

...Especially for you, Princess Alifa Zaenal. I love you, you are my best friend. Thank you for sharing your love with me. Thank you for the feeling you always give me, I hope that when I come back, there is good news that I hear from you....

...Blessed are you, for I too am headed for happiness....

...Wassalamua....

...Yasmine...

Closing the paper, his lips smiled obliquely. Heart hurts. 'So this remains his decision. No more second chances for me? So, he will remain happy alone, without me, said Alfin who has now shed tears.

The man even took a rough breath and rubbed his face violently. If he were alone, he would probably scream as loud as possible.

All he did was sit next to his mother-in-law.

"What do you mean, ma'am? Where is Yayas now?" alfin asked curiously. "Why didn't you tell me?" continue to be impatient.

"Patience, Mas," said Alifa who is now sitting on the sofa next to Radiah's mother.

Radiah's mother then told him everything, everything he knew. My mother also found out about the letter.

"She only tells mom once every two days, son. He also said he was joining Fifi to the market. I don't know, if she goes and keeps asking for this. However, I suggest to you son Alfin, let go because Yasmine has said that she can't survive" she said after telling Alfin, how did Yasmine who had to ask permission by kneeling before her father.

"Who's driving her, ma'am?" ask Alfin.

"No, he took a blue taxi from here" replied the mother.

"Aren't you hiding Yasmine's whereabouts? Mom, I just wanted to meet up so I could get this all done right. Not like this," said Alfin again. In his mind, there was no way that the mother who so spoiled her child would let her pregnant child go alone with just the housekeeper.

"For what, I lied, son. I'll tell this to Dad and Yahya. I also don't want anything bad to happen to my son" replied the mother.

"I'm sorry, Alfin, Mom. He was just worried" said Alifa as she heard Alfin's question and mother's reply in an unpleasant tone of voice. Like a spark to start a debate.

Alfin then shut up, then he looked back at the in-law. "Well, may I ask for the number that Yayas used, ma'am?" ask again.

Radiah's mother, of course, nodded and gave Yasmine a new number.
