Being Married to My First Love
Season2. Unexpected again and again
Fely slowly opened the contents of his letter and began to read it.
Dear Felycia, my,
Assalamu'alaic...
We met a few times, but we haven't met. Introduce my name Maura. You probably hate me so much for taking Raka away from you. Yes, I also realize that I deserve to be hated, but I beg you not to hate Raka too, because she loves you so much.
You must have been very disappointed in her because Raka would rather marry me than marry you.
For that I will tell you the true story between us that you need to know so that you do not misunderstand Raka.
I who was pregnant at that time due to sexual harassment committed by my business partner, was forced to ask Raka to marry me. Merely to cover up my disgrace and to save my only family asset. Raka was also forced to agree to the matchup due to insistence by her grandfather.
During our marriage we stayed in separate rooms. Believe me as long as we are married, not once Raka "collapses me" like a husband and wife relationship. I was haram for him and Raka took great care of him.
Trust me, though she married me, but her heart never turned away from you. No matter how hard I try, but his love is only for you.
Soon I will give birth, which means my time is running out with her. I know you are a salihah woman who is much more worthy of being paired with Raka. That's why I'd be willing if you were his life partner.
After giving birth later I will ask Raka to divorce me. I have had enough of the affection of Raka and Mama Rahma as family members during my stay with them.
For their kindness I want to return the favor by returning what I should not have done. It was enough for me to borrow a position as a daughter-in-law in their family. You are the one who should be in their midst.
Please give one more chance to Raka. Because it's just you, the only woman he loves. I'll be happy to see you guys together again.
Wassalamu'alaikum,
Maura
Fely again closed the sheets of Maura's hand scratches paper slowly. He could feel the sincerity of Maura's heart in each of his words. And also the pain when he wrote it.
Fely was deeply moved, how could a wife be willing to change her place with another woman. However, from this letter he knew that Maura was trying to correct the misunderstanding that had occurred all along. And God was so good at taking Maura's life at the right time. Of course, so that Maura no longer feels the bitterness of living on the fate she once experienced.
Fely wiped the clear liquid that had condensed in the corner of his eye with his index finger. He began to realize the suratan of fate that befell Maura, Raka and also himself. Could it be that God is showing the way of his life ahead of his meeting with Raka and Rahma today.
"May Aunt come read it, Fe?" asked Rahma who was curious about what Maura wrote in her letter.
"Please, Auntie!" fely replied while handing the sheet of paper in front of Rahma.
Rahma immediately accepted it and read it. He was also moved by the contents of Maura's letter. How he knew enough about Maura's daily life to get Raka's attention. Rahma is a living witness who finds out about what the Raka household was like with Maura at the time.
Rahma also witnessed how persistent Maura was when studying religion in order to improve her repentance to Allah. And, he was quite relieved because, Allah took the life of Maura in a good state as a Muslim woman and a mother who had succeeded in presenting her child to the world.
Maura has always been passionate about fighting for her fetus to grow and develop in her womb well, even though she had to risk her life.
During Maura's stay at home, Rahma had considered Maura as her own daughter. So that he also felt the loss since Maura died.
"No, Aunt. Fely felt relieved after knowing what really happened. Fely is very grateful for this letter. If not forever, Fely will probably remain prejudiced against Raka and Maura," said Fely who said honestly that by reading this letter as if shedding the pain that had been imprinted in his heart.
"Alhamdulillah if so. Aunty pray, may your household with your husband be happy" said Rahma.
"Em ... Fely's husband died a few days after our wedding, Auntie," said Fely who suddenly made Rahma surprised.
Rahma did not think that the fate of Fely's marriage was not so good. Two years have passed apparently a lot has happened among them that they do not know.
"Innalillahi .. patient yes, son! there will definitely be wisdom from fate that befalls you," Rahma said as she rubbed gently on Fely's shoulder with the intention of strengthening the young woman's heart before her.
"Yes, Aunt thank you!" fely said with a smile trying to show that he was strong enough for the fate that befell him even though in his heart it still felt painful when considering he had become a widow at the age of his very short marriage.
"Fe, often play to Auntie's house, Auntie is very lonely since Maura is gone!" rahma.
"Goddessa, Tan. But instead of Maura's children here, usually the house will feel crowded and more alive when there are small children," said Fely who also felt that the presence of Reyna's children at home was able to enliven the atmosphere of the house and become entertainers when his heart was sad.
"Rama doesn't live here, Fe. Maura's son was raised by his parents. It just so happens that his mother Maura is taking her husband to medical treatment, so Rama is entrusted here," said Rahma.
"Oh .. I think treated by Raka and Auntie," said Fely who later recalled something, "Tante, sorry Fely just remembered that at home there was a guest and Fely was awaited from earlier."
"Alright, then, Fe. Be careful on the road, yeah!"
"Good aunt, excuse me. Assalamu'alaikum!"
Fely said goodbye and immediately went home. Apparently there were many messages and missed calls from Reyna while at Rahma's house earlier. Fely did not know because he left her in the car.

Arriving at home, Fely was late, the parents of Nabil and his sister had gone home a while ago, only a short time with the arrival of Fely.
"Yes, Fe .. Where are you from?" ask Reyna.
"Sorry, Brother. There was an unexpected incident on the road. But it's all done" Fely said, trying to convince Reyna.
"Oh, yes already then," said Reyna again be patient.
"What do you need mom and dad to come here, brother? are they going on a pilgrimage to Nabil's tomb?" ask Reyna.
"Maybe it's one of them too. But, there is another thing that is more important, that they come here because they want to propose to you for his sister Nabil," said Reyna enthusiastically conveying the intention of the arrival of Nabil's parents.
However, it immediately made Fely surprised. He did not expect many unexpected things today.
