The night was getting late but Mentari could not close his eyes. His talks with Yasmin and Erdana were completely fruitless.
Mentari looked at his son who was already asleep in his sleep. The soft blue blanket wrapped around her tiny body. Baby As looks peaceful in his sleep.
Re-imagined their conversation. Mentari's heart could not bear if Erdana had to polygamy. He himself can feel that Erdana actually does not want to run a marriage like that. Mentari said that he did not want polygamy because he did not want Erdana to become dizzy later. Mentari also did not want to hurt Yasmin because he could see, Yasmin already loved Erdana.
The door to his room was knocked.
"Lake in!" mentari. He knew it must be Diana who brought us As milk.
"Re.......!" call Erdana after opening the door.
The mentari looked on in shock. Erdana turned out to be the one who came in.
"Why are you still here? You're not going back to the hotel?" Mentari knew that Er, El and Yasmin were ready to go home. Mentari could not take them to the door because baby As had whined to be carried by his mother because he was sleepy.
"We're not going home, Ri. Sorry if Diana didn't tell you. El and Yasmin are in the guest room. Yasmin insists on staying here before you make a decision." Erdana stepped closer and finally stood next to the baby As box. His face smiled looking at his son's face.
"What other decision? I don't want to have a polygamous marriage. You know that I am very possessive" Mentari said.
Erdana sat beside Mentari. "See me and tell me you don't want to be with me!" Erdana held onto Mentari's chin and forced the woman to face him.
"Don't make me, Er! You can come anytime to visit baby As. But don't force me to be between you and Yasmin." Mentari shifted her eyes. But Erdana again forced him to look at each other.
The Mentari's heart is shaking. He could not lie to Erdana about his feelings. This is what he feared when he met again with Erdana.
"Please stay by my side. I need you, Ri. I will try to be fair between you. You are not a very possessive person. I'm sure you can understand Yasmin's sincerity."
Mentari's tears fell as Erdana carried him into her arms. Her cry broke as Erdana rubbed her back. Mentari's heart rebelled not wanting Er to share a heart. But his own heart still belonged to Erdana. Mentari was actually very touched by Yasmin's words. But what if in reality they will harbor each other's sadness because Erdana can not be fair?
"Re.....!" Erdana let go of his embrace. He wiped off the Mentari tears very gently. The eyes of the woman who had given her a child. "Don't go again. I beg!"
"Give me some time, Er. Give me time to think. I beg!"
Erdana. Tonight he will not urge Mentari. The Mentari's forehead. "Sleep. It's getting late. The doctor said you have to rest a lot."
"You go to the guest room."
Erdana. "I'll be here. With you."
"But Yasmin.....!"
"Yasmin won't let me go back to the guest room either. There's El."
"I'm going to change clothes!"
Mentari went to the closet and took his pajamas. He then went to the bathroom to change his clothes.
Erdana stood beside her son's box while looking at the face of baby As who was sleeping very soundly. He was grateful because it turns out Mentari always showed his picture to their children so that Erdana's face was familiar to their children.
When Mentari came out of the room, he looked very nervous. Not because of something related to intimacy but Mentari is very embarrassed to open her hijab. He was ashamed Erdana would see his head almost bald because his hair was shaved when he had surgery.
Erdana can read the movements of the Mentari's body.
"What's wrong?" ask Erdana.
Subdued mentari. "I."
"just open. I am still your husband. I've got a right to see you without the hijab."
Mentari. Fingers are interlocked. Erdana finally understood what made Mentari nervous and scared.
"You're scared because of your head?" asked Erdana while approaching.
Mentari.
"What scares you? You're not gonna look good in my eyes?" asked Erdana while touching the tip of the Mentari hijab which was actually open only to be removed.
"Don't look, Er" Mentari held back Erdana's hand that was about to open her hijab.
"Whatever the state of your body, it will never change how I feel about you!" erdana said then slowly removed the cloth that covered Mentari's head.
The sun was bowed when the cloth had already moved into the hands of Erdana. He did not dare to raise his face.
"Re....!" Erdana held onto Mentari's chin and forced his wife to stare at him. "You're still beautiful. Don't turn your face away from me."
"I really like that long hair. But my feelings for you are not because of your beautiful hair but your heart." Erdana rubbed Mentari's back. "I like your current appearance. You're no longer wearing the sexy clothes that used to make me frown. You pull with a covered, very pretty shirt with a hijab that covers your head." Erdana let go of his embrace. "Sleep! I'm still gonna check my phone for a second to find out the email Bojes sent me."
Mentari. He climbed into the bed while Erdana sat on the sofa and opened her phone. For a moment he was immersed in his work.
*********
Erdana was done with her work when the clock was already showing at half-time in the morning. He smiled at the sleeping Mentari. He also approached his son's box and kissed the seemingly sound baby As as well.
Slowly Erdana came out of the room. He wanted to see Yasmin and Elmira.
When he opened the door, the room light was turned off. Erdana stepped slowly and saw that Elmira had fallen asleep as well as Yasmin. He approached, peeked at Yasmin's forehead and left their room to return to Mentari's room.
When Erdana closed the door, Yasmin opened her eyes again. He was happy that Erdana still came to see him. Actually, he had fallen asleep but he woke up because he felt urinating. As he laid back his body, the door of the room opened. Yasmin pretended to sleep again because she knew that it was Erdana.
Yasmin's eyes looked at the ceiling of her room. O God, may father and mother accept my decision. I am willing to be combined for the happiness of Mentari. Poor brother Mentari because he has been suffering all this time.
*************
In the morning, Yasmin invites Elmira to wake up early to return to the hotel. He wanted to clean up their belongings there and bring them to Mentari's house.
Both of them woke up while the other occupants were still sleeping. Elmira asks Yasmin to stop by the apartment she rented and they go to the hotel.
"Sister El, why is he sad?" elmira asked when the two were in the taxi that brought them back to Mentari's house. Erdana had already called them and requested that they quickly return for breakfast together. Bojes was also already there with Gendis, her lover.
"I thought about Nick. I don't know why I can't forget Nick. Shouldn't I hate him?"
Yasmin smiled. "Don't hate, brother.
I will fall in love."
"Then, how else?"'
"Learn to let go of him. Maybe brother's mate isn't Nick's brother. Although actually quite dear you also separated. Nick's brother is handsome, athletic and has a million charms. Which girl wouldn't want to be with him?"
Elmira grew increasingly upset to hear Yasmin's words. "Sir, can you stop at the supermarket? I want to buy something." said Elmira.
"I'm coming down too. Wait a minute, sir?" Yasmin went down with Elmira.
If you are stressed like this, Elmira really wants to snack. Hence he took the basket and filled it almost full of snacks and some drinks. Yasmin bought some of her necessities as well.
As the two were in the hallway where the cold drink was, Yasmin's steps came to a halt.
"That's Nick!" point at
Elmira follows Yasmin's line of sight.
"Singapore is so small!" the Elmira's grouchy. Especially when the woman he saw with Nick at that time was there The hijab woman was seen wrapping her hands in Nick's arms and the two were choosing drinks as well.
Sometimes they looked at each other while discussing what they were going to take. They look at each other in love and see that they love each other.
Elmira's heart is breaking. Yasmin immediately pulled Elmira's hand to pass from there.
"Let's go! Just forget him. That woman is his wife." Yasmin didn't want Nick to see Elmira there.
When they finished paying and got out of the supermarket, Yasmin and Elmira stopped to see Nick standing next to the car next to the taxi waiting for them.
"E.L.....?" Nick is shocked to see Elmira. He approached and Elmira quickly slapped Nick very hard.
"Basically you bastard! Don't ever call me with your dirty mouth."
"What's happen?" ask someone who made Elmira turn her body. His eyes immediately rounded.
"What the fuck?" elmira said as she looked at who was behind her.
