My Heart Shares Your Love
Chapter 3

"I want to marry you, because marriage is part of worship. And also because you're the only woman who made my heart rustle for the first time. The first time I felt this way, so what's wrong if I want to marry you?"

Syifa was silent at Sean's words. He doesn't know what Sean meant.

"So, are you willing to marry me?" Sean asked expectantly.

"Mas knows my true state, right? If Mas marries me, I'll never be able to give Mas offspring." Said slowly.

"I don't want to marry you to produce offspring. I already know how you are, and it's not a problem for me." Sean replied, sounding confidence and sincerity there.

Now Syifa's heart felt rustling, how could with her current state there be a man who suddenly wanted to marry her.

"If Mas wants to marry me for worship, I'll take it." Syifa replied that she finally accepted Sean's proposal.

**********

The qobul prayer took place that day, in the Syifa ward, several nurses and doctors witnessed the sacred event.

Syifa only asked for the dowry of Surah Ar Rahman. It's not hard for Sean. He smoothly read the holy verse of the Qur'an, making anyone who hears it tremble.

"Alhamdulillah, you are officially husband and wife. Sean treat your wife well, never hurt and hurt her physically and also her mind. And Syifa, after you recover you must serve your husband well." Advice of Mother Yasmin on both spouses.

"Sure, Mother. I'll treat him well." Answer Sean.

"Syifa, as I said before. The day after tomorrow I'll be back in Melbourne to continue my studies, and I'll be back in six months, so as long as I'm gone Mother will take care of you."

Before ijab qobul, Sean had told about himself who was studying abroad. And he came back here to attend his sister's graduation. But it turns out that fate says otherwise, Ivan left first before the event began. And now he's marrying the girl who was the victim of his sister's accident.

"Yes, it's." Syifa nodded, it seemed like there was still some awkwardness between the two of them.

"It's late afternoon, Mommy said back home. Sean, take care of your wife tonight." Pamit Mommy Yasmin.

"Sure Mother, I'll take care of her."

"Who's Mommy coming home with? Sorted by Sean?" Ask Syifa.

"No Syifa, Mother has asked the driver to pick up Mother. Let Sean stay here to keep his wife." Answer Mother Yasmin

Syifa looked down embarrassed to hear it, she still could not believe that she was married to Sean.

***********

Sean sat beside Syifa's bed, as if he did not get bored he looked on the face that was still covered in a partial bandage.

"Syifa, rest. Soon in Maghrib time, I'm going to mushola first."

"Yes, Mum." Syifa replied shyly, making Sean anxious. He then rubbed Syifa's hair covered in hijab.

"I'll go first." But, Syifa just nodded slowly.

"Why my heart? I haven't even seen his face, just heard his voice but was able to make my heart beat faster. Have I fallen in love with her? Is that why I agreed to marry him? But it didn't seem possible that soon I fell in love. But is nothing impossible when God wills? There's no harm in loving your husband, is there?"

The inner Syifa is raging, trying to deny her feelings, but in fact no one can resist when those feelings are present on their own.

Especially when Sean read the dowry to her earlier, his heart really shook to hear it.

**********

"Assalamualaik." Sean said as he entered his wife's ward. He saw Syifa who fell asleep with a sitting position leaning.

"Shyifa..." Call her softly. But there was no sign of Syifa.

"Shyifa..." This time his fingers stroked softly Syifa's face made the girl surprised to feel a touch on her face.

"Astagfireullah! Who are you to touch me?!" Syifa immediately sat up straight, Sean holding back his laughter looking at his wife's expression.

"Mas Sean?"

"Yes, it's me. I'm sorry I woke you up." Sean sat his body on Syifa's bedside chair.

"It's okay, I was just surprised."

"It's dinner's coming, you eat ya..."

"Yes, it's." Syifa nodded

"Where's the food?" Syfa's hand pitched into the air. Sean clasped the hand and lowered it.

"Let me feed you." His words made Syifa look embarrassed.

"I eat alone, Mom." Refuse it, but Sean's hand is still holding it.

"I'm alone, it's a husband's duty to take care of his sick wife." Sean published his smile, though Syifa could not see it. Syifa's face seemed to be blushing at hearing that.

"I.. Yes, Mas..." Syifa stuttered, Sean released his hand. Take the food provided by the hospital.

"Let's open your mouth." Shamefully Syifa opened her mouth, taking the first bribe from the husband.

"Have you eaten?" Syifa asked in between her meals.

"Not yet, but I've ordered food." Syifa simply nodded, taking back the bribe from her husband.

Sean grabbed a tissue, and cleaned up the leftovers that stuck to Syifa's lips. And again, Syifa was made to blush because of it.

"Why are your cheeks flushed?" Tempted Sean, he actually knew that his wife was embarrassed.

"Oh yeah?" Syifa held her own cheeks with both hands.

"Is my wife ashamed?" God again.

"Yes..."

"It's my first time being close to a man, of course I'm ashamed..." Her speech.

"But I'm your husband, you have nothing to be ashamed of."

"Yes, yeah..."

"May I ask you something?" Ask Syifa as soon as the dinner is over.

"certain."

"But I have to answer honestly."

"I never lie."

"Emmm... Have you ever dated before?" Syifa asked hesitantly.

"Why is that?" Sean asked back.

"Jawab only Mas. Mas treated me very well today, did Mas ever do the same thing with Mas's lover?"

"I've never dated, Mother and my religion forbid dating. Mother also always advised, if one day I find the right woman, I just married her. That's why I married you, because I thought you were the right woman for me." Sean is obviously at length.

"But didn't Mas live abroad, wasn't Mas tempted by the beautiful women there?"  Syifa asked again, it seemed that his wife was curious about him. And that makes Sean happy, at least they could be closer.

"I live abroad, but I'm there for college. Not to find a woman."

"Oh yeah, I have a lady friend in Melbourne, her name is Diana." Sean's words made Syifa a little surprised.
