The Wasted Bride

Seek Attention

After lunch with his family, Aldair was in his room, laying on his bed and looking at the ceiling. He did not know if his nephew was whining in the family room wanted his wife to sleep with his sister.

His mind branched off to Arwaa and her beloved lover.

It was not felt by him that he and his wife had been living together for almost six months. And during that very moment his heart began to feel such a great dilemma. Arwaa, who was so patient with herself, served and respected her very well as her husband.

He knew that Arwaa understood the real reason Aldair had fasted David, but his wife never got angry and demanded about it. Arwaa even always happily and eagerly prepared the meal of sahur and iftar for him perfectly.

He was also surprised at his wife because Arwaa rarely used the money he gave her except to buy household needs. Of course he knows it because he will get a notification to his phone if Arwaa uses the ATM he provided.

When he asked about it, his wife replied...

I don't need anything yet mas, my clothes, bags, and shoes are also still on good and decent wear. Unfortunately if you buy a lot, will not kepake, mubadzir, even become a display. Moreover, those items will hold them accountable in the Hereafter. I would be confused if asked later, the time wants to say add a collection so the answer.

Aldair chuckled amusedly remembering that. Arwaa is indeed different from most women who like shopping. Especially when compared to Fani, her lover likes to buy clothes, bags, and other branded items.

Ah...

Aldair shook his head. I don't know how many times he compared Fani to Arwaa. If it continues like this, he fears falling in love with his wife.

Can't! Not until it happens because they will soon divorce after Fani gave birth to her child later.

Aldair sat himself down and grabbed his hair. Do not let him be consumed by the charm of Arwaa. Not much was done by Arwaa. His wife rarely used excessive makeup, even with silence, Aldair's heart was pounding abnormally.

'Drrrt... Drrt.'s...'

Aldair's cell phone rang, displaying the father's name of his lover.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"..."

"WHAT!"

"..."

"Which hospital is uncle? Send her room number too. I'll be there soon!"

'Pips'

Aldair got up and took the keys to the car next to the bed. He walked downstairs in a hurry, a worry so apparent on his handsome face.

Everyone in the family room stared at the confused Aldair who looked nervous, as well as Arwaa who still calmed Hanna who had asked him to sleep with his daddy.

"What's Al in such a hurry?" Ask Ma Hayya.

"There was a sudden problem, Al had to go to the office immediately."

Mr. Ahmad frowned confused, even though he was not taking care of the company but he still got a report about what happened there and the company should be fine.

Aldair approached Arwaa and whispered.

"Fani's in the hospital, mas can't stay overnight, sorry." Said Aldair near Arwaa's ear and kissed his wife's forehead before disappearing behind the exit.

Arwaa who saw her husband's back getting further and further from her eyes could only smile.

Wanting to hold her heart but she should not be selfish, however the mother of her future husband is in the hospital, of course Aldair will be very worried. Despite having to renege on his promise to Arwaa.

It made Arwaa again self-conscious, because of their togetherness for several months, he felt on the clouds and forgot that their togetherness was only for a moment.

Haa...

Arwaa breathed a tired breath and kissed the head of Hanna who was hiding scratched by her neck and hugged her tightly, the little boy was still touched by the rest of the crying earlier.

Mrs Hayya and Mr. Ahmad looked at each other. So did Attalaric, he looked at Arwaa with a mysterious gaze towards her. He approached his sister-in-law.

"Hanna let's come here Daddy's fat, pity, mommy's carrying Hanna from earlier. Hanna's big, the bunch's heavy."

Attalaric froze to see the woman who was thought to be mother by her child crying. Somehow his heart felt uncomfortable seeing Arwaa's tears.

"Eh sorry." Arwaa wiped her tears with a small smile, making Attalaric want to know the cause of the tears.

The in-laws who saw the strange reverberation of Arwaa began to think that the house of her son-in-law was not okay.

"Darling why are you?" Hayya ma'am held her daughter-in-law's cheeks worried.

"It's okay mom. Sorry, Arwaa's just sleepy. Arwaa to the room first yes all. Assalamu'alaikum."

Arwaa shook her head and let go of her mother-in-law's soft hands. She chose to leave the room immediately before her husband's family asked her a no-no.

The change of Arwaa that looks sad invites a million questions on the minds of each human in the room, including Attalaric.

Today was indeed the first time he met the wife of his sister, because since the last three years he did not return to his home in Indonesia. Even to just connect with the child, he only relies on the Internet connection.

He has no heart, he admits it. Leave his son to his grandparents, while he lamented the grief of his wife's death.

But now when he meets a woman who is very dear and looks so fond of his daughter, makes his heart pounding. If love at first sight was real, maybe this is what she feels now.

It seemed like she had fallen in love with her own sister-in-law.

At first even with the strange feeling he had for Arwaa in his heart, he had absolutely no thought of meddling in the affairs of his sister-in-law's household. After all he loved Aldair as his sister, and certainly respected him as well as the husband of the woman who made him fall in love at first sight.

But her heart grew shaky when she saw Arwaa's tears dripping. He clenched his hand as Arwaa's figure grew further and further out of his sight.

What exactly did his sister do to make Arwaa cry, for that he was determined to find out what really happened in the house of Aldair, his sister.

***

"Mas Al's..." Lirih Fani who just regained consciousness from her stupor.

Aldair woke up. He fell asleep while waiting for his girlfriend to wake up.

"It's darling..."

So soft the voice of Aldair greeting the hearing of the lover made the woman smile sadly.

"Sorry sister, because my sister is worried and has to see my sister."

Fani cries for making Aldair have to break a promise to his wife.

"Si misses Al too much."

She cried insubstantially withstanding the ardent longing for the man she loved. Not to mention the great fear that struck his heart every time he remembered Aldair living with his wife.

"No dear no, don't talk like that. Mas's sorry for making sister have to go through all this alone."

Aldair shook his head violently, clasped Fani's hand, and kissed her face full of longing. He no longer cared about sin because of their illegitimate relationship, most importantly he did not see his beloved crying like this anymore.

Fani nodded and kissed Aldair's lips.

"Mas stay here. Brother does not want to mas with his wife mas, here it feels very sick."

Fani held his chest. He looked at Aldair with a pleading gaze accompanied by flowing tears.

"Yes baby..."

Aldair kissed Fani's hand he was holding. I don't know, although his heart is also worried about Arwaa, but at the moment he just wants to focus on Fani's recovery. Because the mother of the prospective child was experiencing severe anemia, not to mention Aldair's relationship with Arwaa which made Fani keep thinking and become stressed.

Aldair continued to calm down and said the love to his lover without knowing there were a pair of eyes hiding behind the door, seeing and hearing it all.
