Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 21

At 3 a.m., Zenwa was alone at home because his family was still in the hospital. And at this time, Zenwa was sitting pensively in the middle of his bed that was studded with roses, his room was still the same as it had been during the day, inlaid like a bridal room.

After a busy day with his wedding, after all the fatigue he felt, it did not make Zenwa could close his eyes even for a moment. Everything was too complicated, overturning Zenwa's feelings in a matter of seconds. Zenwa raised her hand and she looked at her finger, where a few hours ago, Michael pinned the ring there and now Zenwa has taken it off.

"The ring can I take off at will, but this marriage bond?" murmured Zenwa while smiling wryly.

"Why should I?" zenwa's tears seemed to have dried up, her face was already very cause. Zenwa hid her face between her knees. Tonight's supposed to be her wedding night, but?

.........

Not only Zenwa, but Micheal could not close his eyes. Because when Micheal closed his eyes, all he saw in his reflection was Zenwa's look of disappointment and anger. All the accusations of Zenwa are still ringing in his ears. Micheal also could not forget the pale face of Arini, who was so limp, withstanding a deadly disease.

Micheal took ablution, then he performed the two rakaat sunnah prayer, hoping that it could calm his heart. After the prayer, Micheal immediately raised both hands to the sky, he was so soft, complaining to his Lord.

"O Lord, this feeling of love is a gift from You. I never asked him to come, and I couldn't just throw him away either. Love is not a lust that can be controlled by faith, but I beg You deeply. Don't let this love hurt a woman who doesn't know anything, don't let this love hurt Zenwa, my wife who has accepted me sincerely. The day I made my sacred promise, the same day I destroyed it. Open the door of my heart to love him properly, and open the door of his heart to forgive me, O Muqollibal Qulub."

.........

Zenwa jumped when she heard her phone ring, she sat down and realized that morning had come. Zenwa snatched her phone that was on the nightstand, but when she found out who called, Zenwa put her phone back on, letting it keep ringing.

"I don't want to talk to you, Brother Arin. Until you confess your love to Micheal," murmured Zenwa, he rushed to the bathroom to take ablution and then he performed the pre-dawn sunnah prayer which continued with the morning prayer.

After the prayer, as usual Zenwa will recite, which is then closed with dignity to the Khaliq, especially at a time like this, the only place the best outpouring of hearts is only the owner of the heart itself.

"Give healing to my brother, O Rabb. I sincerely return his love, as long as he is healthy again as before. I plead with You very much." Zenwa's prayer was stunned when he heard the sound of the door banging from the outside followed by the voice of Micheal who called him, immediately Zenwa's heart again felt tight.

Zenwa rushed to open the door and just as she was about to scold Micheal, Micheal suddenly withdrew his hand, making Zenwa even more furious.

"Take me off, Micheal!" zenwa exclaimed as she tried to pull her hand but as if Michael was deaf, she pushed Zenwa into her car making Zenwa even more confused. He still wears his face today.

"Hospital," Micheal replied with a tense wait.

"Hospitals are close, walking can be too." cried Zenwa again. Micheal refused to respond, he drove the car at high speed and immediately Zenwa remembered Arini.

"Is Arin okay?" asked Zenwa in a soft voice. Instead of replying, Michael tightened his jaw, his eyes flushed again, and Micheal blinked quickly, as if he were anxious.

They arrived at the hospital parking lot.

Micheal jumped down from his car and Zenwa. Micheal stepped hurriedly towards Arini's ward, and Zenwa followed him from behind with quick steps.

"Why are you silent? Why did you bring me here?" zenwa asked with a trembling voice.

"Why don't you answer the phone from your ummimu?" micheal asked which made Zenwa frown in confusion.

"When did Ummi call?" Zenwa asked back, but once again Micheal was reluctant to answer.

Until finally they arrived in front of Arini's nursery, Michael opened the door and let Zenwa in, Zenwa's heart pounded violently when he saw Ummi, Abi and Opa Opanya mangis. Zenwa's steps felt heavy as he approached them,

"Ummi.." shirih Zenwa later, Umminya immediately turned to look with a face that had flooded with tears.

"Ummi, what's wrong?" zenwa asked with tears welling up in her eyes, as Zenwa was near Arini, instantly Zenwa's heart seemed to stop beating when he saw the body of the Big Brother was now stretched stiff with a face as pale as cotton.

"Sister Arin.." whispered in a choked voice in his throat "Sir Arin fainted again, Ummi?" zenwa asked, her tears were no longer able to hold, and her tears were getting louder as her tears were breaking.

"No way!"
