The Tarnished Wife

Praying for the best

“Who called, Ra?” mirna asked, after closing the door to her room and walking towards Rara.

“Zayn, Mom. But there was no sound so Rara just hung up.”

Mirna fell silent. He thought for a moment. “Maybe the phone is depressed when it is in the pocket.”

Rara nodded. “Ya, Ra thinks so too.”

“Oh, yes. Rara wants to go home first, Ma. Want to tell your mother that Mama is again here,” said Rara enthusiastically.

Mirna smiled seeing the cheer on Rara's face. He nodded. For a moment he grieved when he remembered that behind the joy lies suffering. He also does not know until when his son's marriage to Rara will last, given too many secrets in it.

Rara soon passes from Mirna and goes out to meet her mother at home.

#Flashback on#

In a coma, Reza hardly ever meets Rara. He is still shocked to accept the fact that Zayn is the first man to touch his woman. Reza locked himself in a room or he prefers to linger in the office and struggling with work, even to become an office occupant because often overnight in that place.

Reza later resold the apartment. The apartment bears witness to Zayn's depravity for the woman he loves most. Though he had imagined beautiful things with Rara when buying the apartment, especially when he bought a king-size bed in the room, he smiled to himself imagining a hot night with his wife on the first night. But alas, what Reza said did not come true. All his predictions changed by one hundred and eighty degrees. Precisely the solemn bed that he bought to witness his woman was touched by another man.

“Za, release Rara. Let Zayn take responsibility,” Kemal said as they were having dinner.

That night, Reza was with her parents, and Zayn never came home. The man always accompanies Rara when she is in a coma, until she forgets her departure to Paris. Zayn missed the golden opportunity to study photography in the country because of his guilt for Rara. He forgot his dream, the only thing in his brain right now is Rara and her recovery.

“No,” snapped Reza while jerking the fork and spoon that was originally in his hand to the plate until it sounded tight.

“Ah,” Mirna gasped at the thump of the cutlery and the plate.

“Reza, we're talking to you.” Kemal also yelled at Reza because of his disrespectful behavior. Although he understands the condition of the son at this time, but Reza should be able to be more mature to respond to this incident, because everyone is down.

“Papa wants Zayn to marry Rara? No. gabe. I don't accept,” said Reza.

“But you will also not accept this error, Za. We know you very well,” replied Mirna. “Then this is not Rara's fault, but Rara is part of this error.”

“Even you haven't seen Rara at all since she was treated. That already indicates that you do not accept this reality,” said Kemal.

Reza pushed his chair back, then stood up. “I'm the one who suffers the most here, Pa. I'm the one who's been harmed here, but I wonder why you've always defended him. Who are Papa and Mama's kids? Me or Zayn? Papa and Mama should understand me better.”

Then, Reza quickly set foot to leave the dinner.

“Za, that's not what we mean,” said Mirna. “It's precisely because we understand you so well. We love you too, son. We just don't want you to be unhappy. Better to let Rara go than you live with the shadows of their mistakes.”

Reza looked towards her mother. “Enough, Ma. Don't call him my sister! Because I don't have a sister.”

Reza again stepped his legs wide and left his parents who were still sitting there.

“Za,” cried Mirna and was about to pursue the son.

However, Kemal blocked his wife's arm. “Let him think, Ma. Maybe we were wrong for overindulging the kid, so now he's very stubborn. Papa does not like his disrespectful attitude towards us.”

Mirna sat down and cried. Kemal hugged the wife's body.

At the hospital, Zayn continues to accompany Rara who is lying down silently and breathing through medical devices. Zayn's tears flowed when he asked Rara to speak even though Rara never answered all the chatter. Zayn just said alone.

Zayn also painstakingly cleansed Rara's body every day. All his activities are abandoned just to take care of Rara. Meet the day, the month, up to almost a year, Zayn is not tired to take care of Rara who is in a coma.

It makes Mia and Sanjaya touched, they see the sincerity of Zayn for the redemption of his guilt. Mia and Sanjaya did not pursue the legal path for Zayn's behavior towards his only daughter. Besides because they did not want Kemal's reputation destroyed, they also saw that earnestness.

Reza begins to visit Rara, after the doctor declares that Rara is progressing rapidly. The more days there is a development that Rara's chances of being conscious are great, because the organs in her body are getting better and showing function.

“I will still marry Rara,” Reza said in front of everyone.

At that time, Rara's parents, Reza's parents, and also Zayn were there.

Zayn. He has made it clear not to fight for Rara, as his big mistake keeps him from being in a good position to fight against Reza.

“You, go far away and never disturb us!” reza said as his index finger pointed towards Zayn. “I will remain Rara's husband and will make her happy. After he wakes up from a coma, he will be like a human being coming back to life and I make sure he will never know this bad event.”

Everyone was silent to the decision. Mia and Sanjaya can't do anything about it, because all they know is that her daughter loves Reza. Mirna and Kemal could do nothing because this was indeed Zayn's fatal mistake.

“Yes, be happy, Brother. I'm sorry I ruined your plan. I'm sure big brother will make her happy. After this I make sure that I will go far away and will not appear in front of you again.”

#Falsh back off#

Mirna sat on the sofa and exhaled her rough breathing. He closed his eyes after remembering the incident.at that time, Kemal also took the decision to leave all his business to the son because he believed in the hands of Reza his business will grow rapidly, he said, because Reza has talent and intelligence for it. Then, they accompanied Zayn a few months later. A few months after Reza and Rara got married.

“Hey, do you remember that again?” asked Kemal by touching the wife's shoulder.

Mirna rubbed her face rough. “I'm just afraid, Rara will suffer again.”

“Because she can't have offspring?” ask Kemal.

Mirna nodded. “Every wedding must want offspring. Like I used to worry if I didn't give you offspring. Luckily, we got Reza, even though you can't expose her again.”

“Reza type faithful man, Ma. Same as me.”

“But first, you will also have time to be tempted by the woman.” Mirna pouting.

Then, Kemal sat down and hugged his wife from the side. “That's all I don't want, Ma.”

Yes, at that time Kemal was with his business friends. At that time he was still starting his business and always participated in young business events in order to have an extensive network. Then, Kemal who was straight and never drank the illicit drink was checkered by some of his friends until he was drunk and unconscious. Then, his secretary took advantage of Kemal's helplessness. Fortunately, Mirna came on time, because the feeling of a wife could not be lied to, so what the secretary wanted to do was failed.

“I was unconscious at the time. If you realize I will not do that,” said Kemal.

Mirna nodded. “Yes, but I'm still worried, Pa. I can't imagine if Reza's suing Rara. Put my face in front of Mia and Sanjaya. Complete already the suffering Rara caused by our son.”

“Sstt ..” Kemal covered the lips of his wife. “Think positive only and pray for the best for our sons, because that is our only duty now.”

Mirna was weak.
