Ega slammed whatever was nearby. The man was so frustrated, knowing that Najwa had married another man.

Ega's phone rang. The call came from Rahmat, who was worried that her son was in a deep depression. Not without reason Grace is worried, considering Ega was frustrated when he divorced from Najwa.

"Yes pa?" ega said with a heavy voice.

"Patience. Never do anything stupid. You are my only son, after Affan's departure. You are papa's pride. Never let your servant collapse just because of the loss of one woman. Do you understand?" ask Grace.

"But I love him very much. Najwa is completely out of my grasp now. Hikz.I don't want to live anymore. I don't want to live anymore. Hiccu..."

Ega sobs bitterly. Grace so could not bear not to shed her tears, when she heard her son was suffering so much.

"Don't be stupid. Women are not just Najwa on this earth. Papa will find you the most beautiful girl, if you want. Losing Najwa is not the end of everything. You have to believe in the Creator. He must have given you a trial, for sure, and the reason too. Believe me son, papa is sure you will find the answer later, "persuade Grace.

"Papa see you've changed a lot since you got married to Najwa. Make the good change as a spirit for you to open a new page in your life. The experience of the two marriages that you have been in, be a whip for you to become a better person again," continued Grace.

"Yes pa. Pa Ega wants a break, right?"

Without waiting for Grace's reply, Ega immediately ended the conversation. Ega sat on the floor, with his head leaning against the bed.

"Ah.in the end I really lost you. I didn't think we were a match until the end of our lives. Even though it's hard, I have to let you go, right?" Ega again looked at the photo of Najwa that he had made the photo of the wallpaper.

Since her divorce from Najwa, the walls of her room have been filled with all the photos of Najwa. Once Melody wanted to take down all the photos, but Ega was furious and would not allow Melody to touch them again. And now Ega was lying down facing the pictures, as if Najwa was looking at him and always accompanied himself in the room.

Waking up early. As usual, Ega held a service before dawn. The Do'a he was proposing was always the same as these past months. Ega always prayed for Najwa's happiness, but still hoped to be a match with him. A silly Do'a indeed, but this is where he wants to prove that the magic still exists.

After finishing worship, Ega went to the kitchen to make his breakfast. There was only silence, as the man was eating the results of his cooking. All felt empty, Ega so remembered when he was fed by Najwa eating and vice versa. And again the shadow made itself not tasteful to eat and finally left the food just like that.

Get ready to go to work. Meanwhile, in different places Arga and Najwa just finished breakfast and also get ready to go to the restaurant. Arga looked at his wife's overcast face. Since marrying her yesterday, there has been no physical contact between them. Arga wanted to give Najwa time to adapt to him. Even Najwa still wears a hijab while sleeping with her.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Najwa.

"Do you think our marriage was a mistake? since you met him yesterday, you haven't talked to me at all. I realized I was between the two of you. But now that you're my wife, don't you want to give me a chance to get into your heart?" ask Arga.

"I'm sorry brother. I'm really sorry that you feel that way.I'll try to open my heart to you, but please be patient." Answer Najwa.

"Sister will be patient. Najwa, can you kiss me?" ask Arga.

Glekkkkk

Honestly, Arga's request was so heavy he accepted. Because he still remembers clearly, the times he and Ega often make out friendly whenever there is a chance.

Without waiting for an answer from Najwa, Arga slowly approached towards Najwa, and grabbed Najwa's chin which was now bowed. Najwa's eyes met Arga's. There was no sense of heart pounding, as Najwa stared at the man in front of him. It was very different when he looked at Ega, and it made Najwa more longing for the man who was forbidden for him to miss.

Arga slowly brought his face closer, and when the distance was only a few inches away, Najwa suddenly turned his face away. He really didn't feel ready to do that.

"Let's go" said Arga who suppressed his disappointment deeply.

Arga who was near the door was forced to stop his steps when Najwa called out to him.

"Sister. Sorry," said Najwa, who felt very guilty.

"No problem. We can do it slowly. Now we better go first" said Arga.

Beyond Arga's expectations, Najwa grabs her little finger for her to clench. Arga understood, in order to please her bad mood, Najwa took her heart by grasping her little finger to invite her hand in hand in such a manner.

Arga smiled at Najwa, and vice versa. At least according to Arga this is an advancement for his relationship with Najwa that feels cold since yesterday. And so now they go with Najwa's hands.

However, the handrails break suddenly, when Najwa and Arga accidentally meet with Ega when they both get out of a different elevator. For a moment Ega saw Najwa's hand holding Arga's finger tightly, and then just slipped off when he saw her. Ega then passed without greeting at all. The man did not want to linger there, which would make his heart feel throbbing pain.

"Sister Ega must hate me so much now. I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry I let you down,"

Najwa was as strong as possible to hold back his tears from falling. She wanted to keep the feeling of Arga who was now her husband.

"Let's go, sister," Najwa said with a smile.

"I know your smile is Najwa's fake smile. But I'm sure one day, you'll just look at me, "inner Arga.

Arga also smiled at Najwa. Arga knows that at this time Najwa's mood returned badly after meeting Ega, and that was proven when Najwa's hand no longer grasped his finger like some time ago.

Meanwhile, in a different place, Ega's head was bowed, in the steering wheel of the car. The man was neutralizing his feelings that had just felt jealous, when he saw Najwa's friendship with another man.
