Who You Choose, My Husband

16. Who You Choose My Husband

"Arsy, you should know."

Arsy turned his head when he heard Laila's words, it was rare for them to have this time together since becoming Haris' wife.

"What?" Ask Arsy.

"It turns out, my seduction in the third of the night was martyred in the middle of the road," Laila looked at Arsy seriously and her speech left Arsy confused.

"What do you mean, Laila?" Arsy's question really didn't understand.

"Yes, my seduction in the third of the night martyred in the middle of the road. At first I wondered, how noble the girl was that your seduction that won the prayer fight turned out to be you that noble girl."

Arsy silent. Recalling her past and Laila often told stories of men they admired without ever mentioning names. The prayers they offer in the third night. Apparently, they pray for the same man.

"But you're still the owner of Haris's love, not mine." Arsy felt a tightness in his chest when he said that reality

Laila shakes. "No. Mas Haris has turned away from me, he loves you."

Arsy looked back at Arsy with a smile. "certain. It's only natural that Haris loves me, Laila. Even though you were the first girl to be met and loved before marriage, still my love is lawful and brings rewards." Arsy got up from his seat, he did not want to sit together longer with Laila. "I'm sorry to tell you this, Laila. Learn to understand the situation of the people around you. Not because you who are loved by Haris can be arbitrary when the time of Haris with me. Remember, I was the first wife and my name was recorded in the country as the wife of Mas Haris."

Laila lost a lot. He couldn't say anything after Arsy spoke just now.

"Ma, can you just be a little nice to Arsy? Why did you go this way with Arsy, now?" Tanya Haris is upset with Rahma's mother. Among Rahma's mother, Sandra's mother, and Jannah's mother according to Haris, only Jannah's mother never joined Arsy's cornered. Only, Jannah's mother was more silent and complied.

Rahma's mother seems to have gotten a question from the lazy Haris she discussed. "Blame Arsy who never got pregnant," replied Rahma's mother ketus.

Haris took a long breath. "Why is that kid my mom's favorite, anyway?"

"Ma, Arsy's been suffering a lot all along. Why is mom like this?" Connect with Haris again.

"Daris. Shouldn't you be happy that mom married you to Laila? The woman you loved before the late papa betrothed you to Arsy?"

Haris was silent. It's true that Haris was happy at first to marry Laila. But, he could not see Arsy continuously hurt. His chest continuously felt tight every time he looked at Arsy's eyes that held many wounds. "Haris can't hurt Arsy, ma'am. Please understand."

"Just divorce. After all, Arsy couldn't get pregnant until now, right?" Rahma's mother said it like no one felt guilty at all.

"MA!!!" Haris's touch is spontaneous.

Haris saw it scooping the face violently. He accidentally snapped at Rahma's mother, it was because he did not accept her mother's words.

Why is it that only Arsy is hurt?

Haris who feels Arsy's love so sincere to him, he can not waste Arsy's love.

Haris chose to go home.

"Can't you understand Laila's situation, Arsy?!!" Sandra's mother tells Arsy when she just came to Haris' house and saw Laila crying.

Arsy no longer cries, he looks at Sandra and Laila's mother in turn. Really, he did not know the problem he was going to face. "What other circumstances, Mom? All the circumstances of Laila I'm trying to understand. Hasn't it been you who never understood Arsy's position?"

"Arsy's mom's son. This mother's son has been a neglected wife ever since Laila married Arsy's husband, Mom. Why is Arsy always wrong?"

"Laila just got into an accident and lost her son-in-law. You should know!!"

Arsy laughed blandly. Really, it hurts so much. "How about Arsy, Mom? Arsy loses the love of her husband, Arsy loses the love of her in-laws and birth mothers, and worse Arsy becomes her villain."

"Assalamualaikum," said Haris had just arrived home.

Arsy turned towards Haris and did not forget to answer her husband's greeting. Laila ran over and hugged Haris. He smiled at the scene too.

Who would want her husband to be hugged by another woman?

Who would not be jealous to see her husband soothe and wipe away another woman's tears?

Arsy chooses to be silent watching Laila cry in the arms of Haris.

"Why are you, Laila?" Tanya Haris softly.

"Love is only for me, right? I'm not gonna turn my back on you, am I?" Ask Laila.

Haris' body stiffened for a moment. He turned to look at Arsy who was looking at him with a disappointed look. In the description of the embrace then he wiped away Laila's tears.

"Mas' love for you and Arsy is just as great."
