Honor Behind the Stain
Debates

"Where to think about polygamy?" ask Jihan.

"There's no harm in this kind of situation, right? This is not a mere intention because of orgasm, but a state that asks. But in fact I cannot maintain my marriage to Khanza" replied the Emperor.

"Because of me?"

"One of them. But the circumstances are indeed me and Khanza is not in line. I've been trying to defend but Khanza doesn't want me."

"Does Khanza still not want you? Or has he changed?"

The emperor hesitated to answer.

"Mas, I just don't want to be the cause of the destruction of other people's households, I know you're married but I still give you a great opportunity to expect me, I hope, so that you can easily destroy your own household." Jihan crying. 

The Emperor raised his hand about to touch the top of Jihan's veil, but stopped.

“I love you, Emperor.  I love you so much, that feeling hasn't changed until now,” Jihan said.  “But don't let me be the source of your household's destruction.”

“No.  You're not involved in anything about this.  I've dropped talak to Khanza before this.”

Jihan commented a bitter smile.  “I... I want us to be together and be a happy family with the grace of God.  But I also don't wish we could be together if the foundation in our marriage is sin.  I love you, Mas.”

The Emperor stared at the face in front of him fixedly, he heaved a heavy sigh.  There are many doubts.  

“I will marry you. We will be a halal couple heading to jannah,” said the Emperor.

“Never let go of anything that God thinks is good.  If I were your soul mate, then I would definitely be your life partner.  I ready.  I love you, may we be God-fearing halal couple!”  

Emperor nodded.

“Have Istikharah prayed?” ask Jihan.

Silent emperor.

“Shalathah.”

“I do not want to destroy an existing household and instead build another household on top of the destruction,” said Jihan.

“Hey, pious woman, do not feel afraid to have wronged others when you do nothing.  You're a good person.”

Jihan smiled.  “I go.”  The girl left.

The Emperor's eyes kept watching Jihan's steps until the girl disappeared from sight.  In order to talk to Jihan, the Emperor turned around so that he could meet the girl, in order to straighten out the problem.  Luckily Jihan was very easy to understand.

That night, the Emperor entered his magnificent home, where he met Calvin who was walking back and forth in the main room.  The emperor did not say a word when their sight met.  Calvin's eyes were filled with wrath.

“What do you want to do now?  Bring your new staff into this house and make her the queen here, will you?” upset Calvin with a dead red face.

“Be angry if papa wants to be angry.  Everything has happened and I cannot avoid this fate.”

“Crackdown!  Embarrassment!”

“Nothing embarrassing from our wedding.  Everything is good.”

“After you marry Khanza, then what will you do to your woman the Jihan, huh?  You will also bring her to this house as your wife?”

“Let me first decide all this myself with a cool head, Pa.”

“You've ruined everything.  You destroyed papa's business that was supposed to expand with your marriage to Nana.”

“Nothing's ruined, Pa. Everything's fine.  It's just that papa's business expansion is off.  That'sthat's all.  Our condition is still the same as before.”

“You... You always answer and argue every time I talk.”.

“It seems we are indeed difficult to be in line.  I rest first.”  The emperor walked up.
