Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 27's

"We'd better get divorced, because I don't want to be an impingement. We'd better get divorced, because it hurts so much to marry a man whose heart loves my own brother."

Micheal's heart as in the crumb heard the expression full of wounds Zenwa, moreover he saw Zenwa's face so sad, and his two eyes back in tears.

"Zenwa, we've only been married for a week, how can you think of divorce?" asked Micheal in a low voice.

"Because I won't be able to," said Zenwa as she rubbed her eyes that began to be myopic due to the tears that welled up.

"We haven't tried it yet, Zenwa!" micheal insisted "I know I was wrong, but please, give me a chance. If we get divorced, how does our family feel? What do people say about us?" zenwa's tears simply flowed from the corner of her eyes, and Zenwa quickly wiped them away with the back of her hand.

"That's it.." exclaimed Zenwa who tried to toughen up "When we just go through this marriage for a few months, then after that, we get divorced." his advice which of course made Micheal gawk, Michael, I can't believe Zenwa's advice, which makes no sense.

"Zenwa, are you joking at a time like this?" asked Micheal and now Zenwa was the one who gawked.

"Are you accusing me of joking at a time like this?" Zenwa asked back with a look of disbelief.

"Then what crazy advice was that?" asked Micheal in a loud voice.

"I think that's good advice, you just make me an outlet and I don't love you either, so before we go too far, we'd better stop as soon as possible, it'll be better!" zenwa replied loudly as well.

"Do you think this is the story of the novels? At sinetron? Marriage contract? Or what?" micheal asked furiously which made Zenwa gasp. "This is a true story, Zenwa. One cannot marry for a divorce, I promise in the name of God, to be seen by Him, the Angel, and our family, and how can I renege on my promise intentionally?" Zenwa was stunned to hear what Micheal said, his eyes even as if saying the same thing, Zenwa could only bite his lower lip and he looked down deeply.

"But it really hurts" Zenwa said in a choked voice, "It's very tight here..." Zenwa held onto her chest which had felt so tight all along.

"I know, let me treat your pain, Zenwa!" persuade Micheal.

"How could? You love my brother, only your body is with me, but your heart? Your soul? I don't want to be pityed." exclaimed Zenwa then he got up from his seat, Zenwa standing by the wide-open window.

"Every time I remember our marriage, every time I feel the tightness in my chest, as if a big rock is pressing down on it."

Micheal let out a heavy sigh, he was almost out of his mind to persuade Zenwa, and he was so unexpected that it turned out that Zenwa had a stubborn side.

"It's my decision, Zenwa. I don't want us to get divorced, I want us to have this marriage as we should!" firmly Micheal then who made Zenwa immediately turned to him.

"You can't be selfish like that!" zenwa said, "We don't love each other, our marriage will be bland, it will only go with wounds and tears. Why don't you understand?"

"I'm sick too, Zenwa!" micheal asserted then "But everything has already happened, I just want us to live this marriage first. If God blesses our marriage, He will bestow His grace even if we do not love each other. And you must also know that Allah is heart-pounding. I wouldn't deny that I still love Arini so much, but I know you deserve my love more and I will learn, try and fight so that I can love you. And if you don't want to learn to love me, it's your heart's business and I won't interfere in it. Your heart, yours!"
