Honor Behind the Stain
Dissective

“I will be married to Nana, the choice of my papa,” said the Emperor.

Jihan's face looked sad.  “I'm sure you definitely have the best decision.  And if indeed we are a match, God will certainly unite us, whatever the way.”

“My engagement with Nana is in sight.  After getting engaged, then one more month my parents will marry me to the woman.”

A small but bitter smile rose on Jihan's face.  “No parent wants his child to suffer, surely your father also wants the best for you, although sometimes the parents' provisions are not necessarily right.”

“You believe that I will definitely come to you?”

“Ya.”

“I'll do something for a big decision.  Pray that this will be the best path for our future.”

“Have Istikharah prayed?”

The emperor put on a small smile.

“Do it!  Later surely God will give an answer either through anything,” pinta Jihan.  “I believe that good men are made for good women.  Do not be rash and instead produce the worst decision, just to put forward ego.”

Emperor nodded.

“I have to go.  Office friends waiting for me.”  Jihan nodded her head then got into the waiting taxi.

The emperor returned to the car. 

“We to factory.  So?” ask Khanza.

“Ya, sure,” replied the Emperor.  "Now I can decide the path we take." The emperor sighed. 

Khanza just shut up. Waiting for the Emperor's words.  He knew where the words were going to be spoken.  And his heart was ready for whatever decision it was. 

"I know you hate me so much, I know you don't love me. We just don't want this marriage to continue, so I decided to get divorced." 

A painful decision. Grieved hearing.  Khanza.  Until he finally felt able to talk, he said, "Yes." 

It's true, as far as Emperor Khanza is concerned, he's fed up with the Emperor. Khanza did not want to have a husband like the Emperor. That was what the Emperor knew from the beginning. The man was not wrong.

And now, Khanza felt his pride fall when he had to admit that he loved the Emperor. Though it had happened since he had not known that the Emperor was a rich man. But still, the Emperor's gaze would definitely be bad towards him. 

Indeed at this time only sincerity is what he has, without requiring a reply. Really heartfelt. 

"Regarding the status of the widow you will receive, I will be responsible for it. I will meet and face your husband one day, I will tell you the truth about us, that we never interfere, that your honor is preserved, that you are still holy. We marry because of a misunderstanding that forces us to be together, so that the status of the widow does not change anything" the Emperor said.

Khanza remained silent.

"I will release you soon, so that you can achieve your happiness and be detached from the man you do not like. On the contrary, I will pursue my love" continued the Emperor.

Khanza.

"For there will be no point in guiding an unhealthy household, in which there is no omnipotence. It is precisely the chance of sin to arise, more harm, there will only be bad. I am also afraid that we are even kufur because we just don't like a partner.  So to save the marwah of this household, we should indeed separate. I'll take care of this divorce soon."

Khanza was silent, signifying approval of the Emperor's statement.

Arriving at the barik, the car entered the factory area through a side gate.  The Emperor meets Beno and Ganda.  His two best friends were waiting next to the factory building, they had already made a deal there.  

The Emperor asked Beno and Ganda to wait a little while he went inside for the business of monitoring important matters.

“Wah wah... very lucky for you, Khanza,” said Beno while chewing.  He looked at Khanza who was standing not far from him. “Finally get a dream husband like Emperor.” 

“We who have been close to him have never known the identity of the Emperor.  He's apparently the sultan!”  Double head bobble. 

“Does your father know about this?” ask Beno.  “Do we need to tell your parents that the Emperor was a Sultan?  So that you are blessed and the Emperor also gets the love and honor of Mr Subrata?”

“There is no need to show that the Emperor is rich so that he may have the honor and affection of my father.  Let it be like this,” said Khanza after being silent.
