YOUR EYES GAVE ME A SOUL MATE

61. Marriage Siri

Najwa stepped slowly, with his eyes down. Najwa walked very carefully, fearing recklessly stepping on the navels of those who had preceded him.

In Najwa's hand was a bottle of water and a basket of flowers. Najwa is currently heading to the cemetery, where Affan is staying.

"Assalammu'alaikum mas" said Najwa lirih.

"Today I kept my promise. I came to see you as I promised at the time. But Nana apologizes Mas, Nana came to bring disappointing news for mas. Well...Nana is divorced from sister Ega, it turns out our soul mate is short. Forgive Nana who can not keep your trust well mas. Maybe Nana's been very selfish, for making the decision too hasty."

"But I don't want to be hurt and suffer either. I will not be able to become Aisha RA, who has honey in her marriage. I love him, even I love him so much. Hiccu...." Najwa.

Without Najwa knowing, Ega, who was hiding behind a large tree, covered her mouth so that her cries would not be heard by the woman. Ega who first came, accidentally saw Najwa from a distance. He decided to hide behind the big tree.

"I love you too, baby. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Hiccu...."

Ega leaned against the nesting tree, and occasionally hit it with his fist. There was a sense of annoyance, tightness, mixed into one. It felt like he was falling into Najwa's arms, and hugged his ex-wife tightly.

"Do'akan Nana huh mas? hopefully Nana can go through this ordeal with a chest roomy. But no need to worry, Nana is not at all deterred to open the heart. If there's another mate, Nana's getting remarried,"

Nyuuuttt

Ega's heart suddenly felt pain, upon hearing that Najwa would be owned by another man someday. Of course the feeling of not willing to wrestle in the heart of Ega. But he couldn't do anything at the moment.

"Mas. Nana brought some flowers. I hope you like it?"

Najwa sprinkled the flowers, and then poured a bottle of water over the navel.

"Where to go home first? nana wants to go back to J. Nana wants to try to wander there mas. If here, Nana does not want to hear Nana's parents become gossip because Nana became a widow twice. Mas Do'akan Nana made it there huh? assalammu'alaikum mas,"

Najwa left after sending Al-Fatiha's letter to Affan. After believing that Najwa had gone far away, Ega came out of hiding while wiping away her tears.

"Fa. Sorry brother. Brother has failed to defend Najwa. Brother has disappointed you. Brother is very grateful to you, because you have given a sholeha wife like Najwa. But he lost the diamond. Hikz ..I'm sorry brother, sister has become a husband who failed in his eyes," Ega sobbed.

"Now my sister wants to organize a new household. It was very clear, he was very different from Najwa. The match you choose for brother, the best match for brother. But you're stuck with the worst soul mate in a minute."

"Sister's prayers can be steadfast without Najwa. Although honestly, my sister couldn't live without him. Brother go home first yes Fan, next time big brother visit again."

Ega then sent Al-fatihah's letter to Affan. After that, he rushed home.

"Are you sure you want to wander back there?" ask Butet.

"Yes. I feel like I fit the situation there. I want to find another school, which still needs honorary labor." Answer Najwa.

"Where can your life rely on honorary salaries in such a big city. The salary of the honorary may be enough for you to rent a place. But you know for yourself, the salary is not paid every month. Where do you eat money from?" ask Butet.

Najwa seemed to think. However, whatever Butet said was all true. He had already felt for himself the difficulty of living in such a money-filled city.

"I'll think first. But for now I want to leave this village first" said Najwa.

"Why should you care about people's gossip. People don't feel what you feel. Go back to work at our school" Butet said.

"But I care about my parents. At least my ears weren't hot to hear them gossiping to my parents, whose fate was unlucky to have a daughter, but who'd been a widow twice." Answer Najwa.

"Huh.then it's up to you then. All of you also live," said butet.

"You are the heart" Butet said.

"Emm." Najwa.

Najwa finally leaves after buying a night train ticket. After a night of being driven by a fire, Najwa finally reached the town of J.

Czechk

Najwa pressed the door handle, and entered into the contract. Being very tired, Najwa did not immediately clean up, the woman immediately went to sleep.

Meanwhile in a different place, Ega had just finished carrying out a qobul ijab with Melody at one of the mosques in the city of J. Ega decided to marry Melody in series, despite initially receiving protests from the woman.

When going back to the apartment, Ega passed Arga who was just about to go to his restaurant.

Arga glanced at Melody who was wearing a white kebaya and also slightly styled hair in such a way.

"You get married eventually, too" Arga said.

"It's a soul mate." Melody replied but was met with a cynical smile by Arga.

"Congratulations to both of you" Arga said as she reached out to Ega.

"Thank you" said Ega, shaking Arga's hand.

"Thank you for throwing away diamonds, for copper. Because soon the diamond will be me who will pick it up" whispered Arga in Ega's ear.

Hearing that was clear Ega's body stiffened. Because he did not know Arga was now close to Najwa.

"What do you mean?" ask Ega full of emotions.

"You also know what I mean. Thanks again." Replied Arga with a faint smile.

Arga then steps away, Ega rushes after Arga and leaves Melody alone.

Tap

Ega blocked Arga's hand, so Arga turned around.

"Say what do you mean? since when did you know Najwa. Don't mess around, Najwa is mine" said Ega.

"Yours? have your shady veins broken? just a week ago you divorced her. So now he doesn't belong to anyone. I've known him for a long time, because he works at my restaurant." Answer Arga.

Ega stunned. He did not expect, letting Najwa work outside the house instead became the center of attention for other men. And that man is his own best friend.

"Don't bother him. She's mine! I will refer him again, after I divorce later," said Ega origin.

"And before you divorced Melody, I made sure I was married to her." Answer Arga.

What an answer Arga, very scary in Ega's ears. The shadows of Najwa being possessed by another man, and being touched by another, became her own fear.
