Rahmi stared at her reflection in the mirror, it felt like crying. He did not want to get married, but nothing could make him refuse. The various congratulations, even felt like a knife prick for him.
''Stretched, yeah?''
Rahmi looks up, the girl next to her is Alif's cousin.
''Want a way?''
Rahmi thought for a moment, then she nodded slowly. Rahmi and the girl walked together, she just surrounded the park around.
''Hiks.''
Rahmi looked at the figure of the girl who was crying so bitterly under the mango tree by looking at a photo in her hand.
''We, go home Rahmi.''
Rahmi was silent, she even stepped closer to the girl.
''Why are you crying?''
The girl slit her eyes.
''My name is Aminah. Someone will marry my lover ... Then how I did not cry, even he who took my lover looked at me sadly.''
Rahmi was silent a thousand languages, she looked down so deeply. I want her to say, then you're the one who married her. But he was silent, his tongue clenched. If there is a way to get out of hell. Now the road is in front of him.
Grebbs
Zahra pulls Rahmi, she pulls the girl so quickly to her room, as if she knows what Rahmi is thinking.
''Listen Rahmi! How much you hate Alif. Remember abby! Abby ... He's sick! He has an appointment with your parents! This is the only way!! A man who does not know himself will never know!''
Rahmi kept quiet, she didn't know. More precisely he was afraid, afraid of the world he faced after marrying her.
''Rahmi!! I beg!! For Abby! Hang on!''
Rahmi hugged Zahra. He cried, he was scared, scared, very scared.
''I'm Zahra!!! A doctor ... I can't lie anymore ... I kept rebelling, every time I saw Abby's condition getting more and more days ... He was further gnawed by his illness!! And his son who did not know himself was completely unaware!! I hate her, but I also hate myself for being afraid to tell the truth ... It's our secret. I beg Rahmi!! Don't you see abby happy? She's happy you're going to marry her son!!''Slowly as he spoke, Zahra knelt before Rahmi.
''I beg you!! Abby is like a surrogate father to me!! I can't see him suffering any more Zahra said with tears in her eyes.
Rahmi patted Zahra on the shoulder, smiling with a smile that was so painful.
''Yes, for Abby's sake. Rahmi will stay, he said slowly but his eyes could not lie that what he said was the most painful thing.
Shuts!
The TV in the room was lit showing the show that was out there, behind this beautifully decorated room. Out there looks magnificent, seen a man with sharp irises eyes is saying a wedding promise.
"I received his marriage and marriage, Muhammad Alif Al-Lail bin Muhammad Chandra with Rahmi afifah bin Khaidra al-mahesa with dowry a set of prayer tools, ' he said ,Gold weighing 80 grams and jewelry weighing 50 grams paid in cash."
''Huh?''
''HH!!''
Zahra looked at Rahmi, the girl's gaze blank. Rahmi seemed to lose the light of her life, the girl was silent, silent and silent.
Now their show will meet, but Rahmi still hasn't changed. It seemed to reject the reality in front of him.
Rahmi approaches Alif, he kisses the hand of someone who is like his hell life, Alif kisses Rahmi's head, which is always considered as the beginning of his life's misery.
Everyone cheered, but not for those two supposedly happy gills. Even for them it is like a heartbreaking war.
Abby, only Abby looks so happy. He greeted the guests with a radiant face, he even joked with his old friends. Very different from the two brides, Rahmi and Alif looked stiff. Alif is always cold and Rahmi who is afraid always looks down.
''Congratulations,'' said Aminah staring at the two brides who now bear the status of husband and wife.
''Yes,'' said Alif briefly. He turned his face away, his heart was wounded. But what can be done. Against his father? He was not so desperate for a cold war with the only family he had, during the rejection, he already felt like an ungodly son to his Abby. But he still couldn't accept it.
''Don't hurt your wife. Even if you don't love him ... Think of it as a request from the person you once loved, said Aminah, she looked on with pain. Although he refused to pity Rahmi who seized her lover, but his heart could not look at the girl who always looked down with eyes that showed such a deep wound. He discards his ego only for the happiness of others.
Alif was silent, his voice choked. I want her to scream how can you think that way when the person sitting next to me is not you, but a woman far from religion. How could you say such a painful thing to me ... Where's heart? After what we went through together ... We'll just wait for Abby's approval, then we can get married. A million said she was choked with painful feelings, maybe before she managed to get it all out she was already crying first.
''Then, I said ... Once again congratulations, said Aminah then passed away.
Although he wanted to say hello to Rahmi, his heart would still not be strong. He chose to leave, when his heart could accept everything. He'll meet the girl, he'll be his friend. Although they would look at her strangely, she wanted to be the girl's friend.The reason was simple, the always lonely eyes made her unable to hold back. Let him be said to be hypocritical, selfish, naive, he doesn't care.
Alif sat down, with a sharp look. Rahmi gulped her saliva, she was afraid, Alif was not so good.
Someone with a neat stelan came bearing gifts with his assistant. Actually he came because of a prank, he came because he was just too bored with the work in his office that piled up.
''Congratulations, Mr. Alif.''
Alif stood welcoming the guest, his smile floating, the smile of a professional.
''Where is your wife?''
Alif was fixated for quite a while, the person's face looked wrinkled, he glanced at the girl who always looked down.
''This is my wife, Rahmi, '' said Alif briefly.
Rahmi came forward to show her face.
''Hello.. Greetings, said Rahmi smiling awkwardly.
The man was silent, he was surprised his face looked so shocked. Alif turned his eyes.
''Star ... .''
Rahmi tilted her head in confusion, she looked at the person before her worriedly.
''Really!! I'm not wrong!!!''
He crouched down on his knees before Rahmi, nice to meet you!!!'' he said softly.
Alif was surprised, he looked at them in confusion. But terbesit the annoyance in his heart, he was still upset considering his lover was even compassionate with the person who took his position.
''Ah! Anu ... Ma-sorry.'' Rahmi took a few steps back.
''Ahk! Sorry I surprised you ... If he could meet again, it was fate, he said standing with a charming smile. Then he left a question in the head of the girl.
....
Time passed by so quickly, Rahmi the girl stared at the room belonging to her husband.
He changed his clothes with a more relaxed one.
Rahmi runs rough, she climbs to sleep early.
''What are you doing?''
Rahmi looked up, she looked down at Alif who was looking at her sharply.
''Ti-sleep,'' nervous Rahmi.
Alif squinted his eyes, he pointed towards the sofa and cynically said, ''You slept there.''
Rahmi held back her tears that would fall slowly she walked onto the sofa, breaking down her small body.
The night was getting late, but Alif could not sleep at all. Although his eyes were sleepy, how long he was closed his consciousness could not be lost. Maybe this is a punishment for him for making his wife sleep on a couch.
Alif woke up, he looked at the cold mugil body. Tired of guilt, Alif wakes up he takes a blanket in the closet and covers Rahmi.
''What am I doing?!!'' muttered Alif rubbing his coarse hair.
He returned the basket, the corner of his lips lifted without him knowing when Rahmi was no longer cold. Alif closed his eyes again, and this time he was able to fall asleep soundly.
