WAITING FOR LOVE BETWEEN THEIR LOVE

Chapter 23: The hard choice.

A few weeks passed...

Helena chose to stay in the house previously occupied by Husna and Alvino.

This made Husna and Alvino live in the family Mansion.

Husna still could not tell Alvino about the news of her pregnancy, because every night Alvino always looks restless.

Husna has not even told the news of this pregnancy to his mother and sister-in-law.

Today, Husna invites Alvino to meet Helena.

"Alvino, you're finally here." Helena was happy because this was the first time Alvino had come to visit her since she was discharged from the hospital.

"Assalamualaikum, Helena." Husna.

Helena just smiled thinly, then Alvino invited Husna to enter the house.

"How are you doing?" Ask Alvino.

"I'm fine." Said Helena, glancing at Husna who was preparing food into the plate.

Husna brought several types of cuisine from the Mansion, and even Husna did it secretly because if his mother knew, he would ban Husna because the food would be given to Helena.

After Husna finished arranging some of the food on the dining table. Alvino invites Helena to eat together.

That afternoon, several people suddenly came to Husna and Alvino's residence.

They apparently demanded the clarity of Helena who lived in their home.

According to residents, Helena often left the house with clothes that are inversely proportional to the clothes of most women who live in the housing.

After some tough negotiations, Husna and Alvino were finally able to soak up the emotions of the citizens. They started to leave Husna and Alvino's house.

"Mas, haven't I told you many times. Just marry Helena." Husna said as they were on their way home.

"Husna, this is not what you think. Not young for mas to polygamy while Mas is already convinced that you are the soul mate of Mas."

"The fool is God's secret. None of the humans could claim that the couple currently with him was his soul mate."

Silent...

Alvino and Husna chose silence in their respective minds.

Alvino occasionally looked towards Husna who was seen staring at the streets.

Arriving at the Mansion, it was fortunate that everyone was leaving, so no one would ask why their faces were so tense when they came home to visit Helena.

In recent days, Husna saw Alvino often perform the prayer of istikharah.

Occasionally, Husna followed the prayer behind Alvino. Unfortunately, Alvino is too focused, not realizing that every night Husna is behind him.

"Mas, I know lately you can't sleep quietly. If you can't get Helena back because her family won't accept her existence. Just marry Helena, rather than her continuing to be a slander."

"Then what about you?"

"What's wrong with me? god willing I am sincere. After all, me and our baby are in desperate need of a calm and peaceful atmosphere together with his father." Husna.

Alvino was silent, he stared fixedly at Husna as if he wanted to ask the meaning of the words that Husna had just spoken.

"I'm pregnant, I'm sorry I told you."

Alvino hugged Husna, as if knowing the reason why Husna had just told Alvino about her pregnancy.

"I'm sorry Husna. I'm sorry."

"I'm sincere you're married to Helena so you can be fair to us."

Quite the atmosphere that occurred between the couple husband and wife. Their marriage, which could be said to be a corn, had to face such a great ordeal.

Alvino did not expect that the previous act of meeting Helena and lying with Husna would be long-tail, until it would reach a stage where Alvino had to make a very difficult choice in his life.

On the other hand, there is a woman who can not be denied still very much loved by Alvino.

That night...

Accompanied by Husna, Alvino confronts his older sister and mother for Helena's permission.

Brake !!!

"I've guessed, that woman must have had hidden intentions when she accidentally knocked herself down from the 2nd floor. See, now she's forcing you to marry her because she's been raided by a housing neighbor."

"Calm ma, Helena is innocent. In this case, it was Husna who asked Mas Alvino to marry Helena."

"Husna, have you gone mad by letting your husband be polygamous while you still haven't got the full happiness?"

"To be honest, no wife's heart is willing to see her husband remarry. But, for the sake of preserving the honor of a woman, Husna Ikhlas."

Mama was seen sighing deeply and closed her eyes.

"Alvino promises to try to be fair." Alvino.

Husna continued to hold Alvino's hand as if giving strength.

Mamma. He has no choice but to grant Alvino's wish to marry Helena.

...----------------...

Today is the day that Alvino will marry Helena, after Helena had officially embraced Islam and began to leave the clothes she used to wear. Helena now wears a robe and scarf.

Helena's parents did not come even though Alvino had sent her a round-trip ticket, as well as the hotel for a few days. However, it seemed like this wedding news did not make their disappointment muffle.

In fact, during the wedding ceremony. None of Alvino's relatives came. Mama and Alviana were also not seen at Alvino and Helena's wedding.

Only Husna faithfully accompanied Alvino, even Husna also helped decorate Helena before the contract began.

"Husna, how could you easily allow Alvino to marry me?" Helena asked after Husna finished helping to tidy up the hijab worn by Helena.

"Aren't you afraid that after this, Alvino will spend more time with me than with you because I am a woman who is very much loved by Alvino."

"Helena. Speak modestly, do not expect too high because if the reality does not match what you expect. It would hurt you so much and keep you from doing your duty as a good wife." Husna said with a smile.

Husna then escorted Helena to the main room where the marriage contract would be held.

Helena looks smiling as she is juxtaposed with Alvino. Another case with Alvino who was seen staring at Husna who was sitting not far from there.

Husna smiled and nodded his head, until the sacred word was spoken. Tears fell down Husna's cheeks.

Husna, who was not strong enough to see the scene where Alvino would kiss Helena on the forehead, decided to go from there and help prepare a banquet to be served to the invited guests.

Her night...

Helena was waiting in the bridal room, while Alvino was on her balcony.

If you ask where Husna is. Husna was crying out for patience in prostration.

Husna continued to pray and ask Allah, that he be given a strong heart and abundant patience, until a hug forced Husna to stop crying.

"Mas, why is Mas here? isn't tonight your first night?" Pekik Husna's.

"How can I sleep with another woman while my wife and my future son are crying because I can't be next to him."

Husna turned to look at Alvino and hugged him tightly.

Forgive Husna who is not sincere Mas. But, in order to maintain Helena's honor, Husna will try to be sincere.
