WHEN THE HEART MUST SHARE

chapter 65

The day that Lyra was waiting for stayed another day, she was very enthusiastic about preparing for her wedding.

"You're so sure of your choice, Nduk?" hello Sofyan approached him.

"Yes, Pa.. Where else do I get a responsible man like Mas Aby" he said proudly.

"Papa also thought so, besides being hardworking, he was also tenacious and determined. But he's a widower, what's that you've been thinking?"

"Then what if he's a widower? Unless his ex-wife is still alone, maybe I can worry. But his ex-wife is married, Pa."

"Good indeed.. Papa just wants to know your sincerity. Your choice is right. Papa is very supportive of you."

"Thank you Pa."

Lyra was horrified to imagine that her father knew the reason Aby wanted to marry her.

"But papa just feels weird, why did you suddenly decide to marry Aby? Though many of your male friends are trying to get close to you."

Lyra shakes.

"Nothing, Pa. We did think about it, because we felt that there was a match, why did it have to be delayed?"

Mr. Sofyan was satisfied with Lyra's reply.

Busyness has been seen at Lyra's house, the invitation to the close family has also been spread.

Another with Aby who looks ordinary just ahead of her wedding, very turned around with Lyra.

Aby sends a message to Anisa.

(Nis, can Al be on my show?)

(Of course, Mommy. He must be present at the important and historic event of his father) Anisa replied.

There was a sense of tightness in her chest while reading the reply of a message from Anisa. But he was resigned to Anisa's response to her decision.

Aby has no idea that Anisa has filed for divorce from Yahya.

Lyra who already knew also deliberately did not tell him.

That afternoon Lyra met Aby at work.

"Mas, tomorrow we want to get married, why still work, anyway. Should rest, let his body fit tomorrow."

"It's okay, there's nothing else I can do but this" Aby replied. It continued to work even though Lyra was nearby.

"Preparation is almost complete, Mas. I can breathe a sigh of relief now." Lyra hugged Aby's hand spoiled.

Aby quickly pulled his hand politely.

"Sorry, we're not muhrim yet."

"But we'll be soon, Mas." replied Lyra.

"But not Ly yet.. Better keep your distance."

"Alright, it's okay" he said as he shifted his seat. After talking for a while, he decided to go home.

Not straight home. He meets Rosmah somewhere they promised.

"Remember, arrange for ijab kabul to be carried out immediately. I'll try to stop Anisa from taking Al to your wedding. Because if they had met just once, Aby would have changed her mind. Youunderstand?"

Lyra nodded and went home. And Rosmah too.

He stopped by a pharmacy to buy something.

When he got home he was hungry. But when he opened the hood at the dinner table his face turned sullen.

"Not cooked until this hour? What did Anisa do?"

He rushed to Anisa's room.

He was surprised that his room was empty.

"Well, do you know where Anisa is?"

Yahya. He was busy serving his customers.

"Maybe it's coming soon, just wait, Bi."

"The thing is, there's no food on the table. Didn't she cook today?"

"Maybe Liza is fussy, therefore she doesn't have time to cook." Yahya replied indifferently.

"You're why, you're still calm, Anisa's suing for divorce."

"I know, Bi. Then what can I do? "

"What's? Didn't Aunt hear wrong? There's a lot you can do, find a way to get him to withdraw his lawsuit."

"It's too late, Bi. The file is in process. And it's very likely that the lawsuit will be quickly cleared, because of my circumstances." Yahya wiped his face.

He looks desperate. Rosmah saw it.

"Don't be a man! fight for your rights. Remember your son too."

"With my deformed state?"

"Yes...!" so Rosmah whispered something to Yahya.

After that Anisa came while carrying Liza.

"Where else? It's not good that the wife goes out and the dining table is still empty."

"I'm from school, there's a little assignment from the vice president."

"Don't lie..! It's Sunday, everywhere school's off." snapped Rosmah. Anisa didn't touch him.

Khaliza cries in Anisa's arms.

"This is the same father..!"

"Well, look at your son sitting in his father's arms. What if you're not together anymore? Khaliza needs you both."

Yahya and Anisa were silent. This time Rosmah's words have a point according to Anisa. But his heart was already disappointed, he could not change his decision again.

He let Rosmah talk.

"What Auntie said is true, Nisa.

Don't you feel sorry for Khaliza? He needs both of us."

"You're right, I do feel sorry for him, but my decision has been unanimous, brother. I'm asking for help, not to be complicated anymore"

Yahya.

Later that night, Khaliza cried, until Anisa could not silence her.

Rosmah and Yahya enter Anisa's room.

"Hungry maybe." Rosmah gave her opinion.

"He won't drink milk..."

"Try to give it to me." Yahya took his son from Anisa.

When in Yahya's lap, Khaliza can calm down.

"No, right!" Rosmah passed with a hidden smile.

"Have gone to sleep, let me put you to bed." Anisa's pinta.

But when he fell asleep, Khaliza woke up and cried. It made Anisa desperate.

"Let me put to bed."

Anisa looked at Yahya doubtfully. That means they will stay in bed.

"Please, just this once..!"

Anisa lets Yahya sleep in her bed. He stood still when Yahya lay down.

"Sleep here, Khaliza wants both her parents to sleep in the same bed. After we're officially divorced, maybe just talk you're no longer willing." Yahya patted the place beside her.

Anisa was still doubtful.

"The divorce decree does not exist yet.and talak I never said, we are still legal as husband and wife" Yahya said again.

Anisa was worried. What Yahya said was true, she did not want to be cursed for rejecting her husband that night.

He thought, maybe it's true tonight could be Yahya's last night asking him for something.

He thought back to his big plan tomorrow. Plans that might bring a bright spot in his life.

Yahya still looked at him expectantly.

"I beg Anisa, consider this my last wish before we part."

Though hesitating, Anisa stepped closer to Yahya.

He laid his body on the man's side.

The atmosphere was silent and stiff, until finally Yahya's voice broke the silence.

"Had we parted, I'd like to remember tonight as the most beautiful memory of my entire life.

Anisa turned towards him with a face full of questions.

"No, Nis. I won't ask for more. Turn around!"

Anisa turned around to back him.

Slowly Yahya embraced it from behind.

Anisa's chest rippled. The man hugged her with a lot of feeling.

"This is all I've asked of all the years we've been married."

Yahya voice raucous. In fact, Rosmah had given him the advice to do something to Anisa tonight to make him feel bound and drop his lawsuit. But Yahya could not bear to do as his aunt suggested.

He could only hug his wife with emotion.

Anisa just fell silent. He felt guilty for Yahya as well. But the heart cannot be lied to, he cannot love the man as a couple.

Yahya was so pervasive, while Anisa even imagined the marriage of Aby and Lyra the next day.

"I must be able to awaken Mas Aby." he said in his heart.

The next day, Rosmah was astonished to see Yahya and Anisa were ordinary.

Anisa is getting ready for school in the morning.

"Come,Bang. Bathing Spots. I'm going to go to Dad's place." he exclaimed to Al.

"Do you want me to take you?" tawar Yahya's.

No need, brother. I took Al for a while before school, Liza and I took him to daycare" said Anisa flatly.

Rosmah kept asking Yahya for an explanation with sign language.

In addition, Rosma and Yahya were astonished because Anisa's phone continued to vibrate.

Anisa just glanced at him for a while then ignored him.

"Auntie must have asked about what happened last night" Yahya thought.

After everything is done, Anisa leaves with her two children.
