Honor Behind the Stain
Titip Emperor

"My marriage to the Emperor wasn't as bad as you thought. You must be disappointed to learn that the Emperor betrayed you, he secretly married another woman when he promised to come back to you and marry you." Khanza sighed to expel the tightness in his chest, hoping that the tears that had stopped were no longer dripping. 

The wind was blowing hard enough, making Khanza's hair fly.

"As you know, the Emperor left you for a few months, which is when a fatal misunderstanding occurred until we were married." Khanza then recounted the misunderstanding that had occurred until finally Khanza and the Emperor united in marriage.

"Then you keep quiet when you find out your husband wants another woman?" ask Jihan. "Even in front of you, the woman is active every day."

"If it were not for misunderstanding, we would never have been husband and wife. You are what the Emperor wants, not me. I don't have to do anything about this."

"Your status with the Emperor was originally the same as not knowing that you were husband and wife because you thought that your marriage was not legal, but when you knew your marriage was legal, would you still let your husband expect another woman? It's a wedding, Khanza. Promise to God."

Khanza commented a bitter smile. "I've been overpowered by the Emperor. He's not my husband anymore."

Jihan fell silent. 

"I'm not his wife anymore. You are his future" Khanza said.

"Are you really not expecting the marriage to continue?"

"I've been stabbed."

"You have no feelings for the Emperor?"

Khanza looked away, not wanting his sight to meet Jihan's eyes.  "Once again, I've been stabbed. I'm not his wife anymore."

Silent.

A few minutes the two were silent until finally Jihan spoke up again.

"The emperor is a good man. He was very respectful of women. He's polite. He also held adab high. He's full of love. I know him very well. Only, he was stubborn, firm on his stance and it would be difficult to shake his stance if it had fallen to one choice."

"You're lucky to be loved by a man like him."

"It's been a long process, the Emperor must have thought about this carefully. Not just the eyes immediately decided to separate."

Jihan pulled the corner of her lips. "I wouldn't be able to do it in your position. To be the wife of a stranger and then to be. If I were in your position, I would definitely choose to devote my life to my husband even if he was not my goal all along, considering that marriage has already taken place and God has tied it in a sacred bond." 

"I'm not as good as you who can survive in a state without taste.  I'm the Emperor." Khanza rose to his feet, leaving the park with wide strides.

“Jihan!” The Emperor looked at Jihan who was walking towards the park.

The girl stopped by the side of the road, looked at the Emperor and then looked down. Until the moment the Emperor got in front of him, the girl of love bowed silently.

"That problem, please don't misunderstand." Emperor begs. "I can explain everything.

Jihan raised her face.

"I didn't betray you. All this is pure beyond my control." The emperor tried to explain. "Me and Khanza..."

"Married because of the misunderstanding of the citizens," Jihan cut.

The emperor was stunned, frowning. Why would Jihan know?

"You are not married by your own will, and you are united in the sacred bond of marriage. I don't know why you let go of the wife you promised God would be the answer."

Emperor swallows. "Initially so too. I do not want to lightly divorce Khanza even though our marriage is not our will, I know how I should maintain this sacred bond of trust. But after I was done, I couldn't. At first I thought that I would not relinquish Khanza for a responsibility in the eyes of God, but would marry you."

"Where to think about polygamy?"
