When Love Fades

One month agreement

Alan was silent. But he believes his love for Renata is as big as the ocean, so there's no way Devina can get through it because she'll drown.

"That's Dev's silly idea. I don't want to do it". Alan this time was really angry with Devina's behavior. He got up from his seat about to leave Devina, but suddenly Devina pulled Alan's hand which made Alan stop his steps.

"Alan's... Please, just give me a chance this time. And if I fail, I'll be out of your life soon. Also bring good memories when you are with you. Please Al". Devina squeezed and pleaded as her hand firmly grasped Alan's finger.

"I am not a woman who has no conscience Al. I'll ask Renata for permission. Somehow, even if I have to put it on his feet, I will".

Seeing the seriousness of Devina's face, Alan's heart began to melt. He sat back down and slowly let go of Devina's grasp.

"alright. When do we start this game ?".

Devina wiped her tears with trembling hands after hearing the approval of her heart.

"Tomorrow. Yes tomorrow.

Tomorrow is December one".

"alright. Remember, only one month". Alan put pressure on the last sentence.

"and one more thing don't you tell Renata, because it'll only hurt her. And I'm sure your efforts are in vain". It passed from before Devina.

"Thank you very much Al. I'm gonna make you fall in love with me. Whatever and how. I should be able to have you.

If outside there the actor played hot, snatch people's husbands in the wrong way and just become a mere mistress. Different with me. I love the subtle way to all the games, including this time. I want to be a legal wife even though the second. Not being a mistress whose ends are abandoned and humiliated. It's not love's name but lust".

***

I was always busy with my customers. To the extent that I forgot to call Alan. I hope he's okay there.

I don't know where my memory of polygamy came from. Suddenly I remember asking Alan about polygamy.

Flashbacks

That's the question I asked Mas Alan. I got it from listening to a talk on the youtube channel.

"why are you suddenly questioning that ?".

"it's okay, man. Just ask ".

"yes, answer the question of my beloved wife.

If a wife accepts her husband's polygamy by remaining good to her husband and his second wife, then for her the reward of those who do good.

As in the word of Allah SWT in the Quran the letter of Joseph verse 90.

whoever fears Allah and has patience, Allah will not waste the reward of those who do good".

"really ?. That's it ?".

"do you want to be polygamous ?".

"Not knowing either ".

"But all that is heavy. The weight in me is also heavy in you".

Flash on

"Oh God, could my question at that time be a reality.whether Alan would marry again. It means that he has broken all his promises to me. If all that would happen.

Help me to pass through, O Allah. Because I am sure there will be wisdom afterwards. And if in this way You take away the sins of the servant, the servant will accept them. Give me strength".

I don't feel the clear grains wetting my cheeks. I can't be selfish. If I'm not the only woman who's entitled to everything Alan's. Maybe God prepared the woman. Even if it was Devina.

I have to learn to accept it. I cannot fight against destiny, against the will of God. Everything has been outlined. As a human being I can only resign but must remain istikomah. God willing I am sincere. I also believe God prepared the most beautiful gift for me.
