My Heart Shares Your Love
Chapter 5

"No need to wear a hijab, we're just two here." He said after the show bathing his wife was finished.

"Yes, Mum." Sean returns Syifa to bed.

"Rest." Syifa nodded, she laid her body down.

"I took a shower first."

"Yes, my mom."

**********

Sean stared at the figure sleeping on his bed. A young woman who is already his wife.

The man sat his body beside Syifa, looking at her innocent face. Not bored it feels, even if he could want at any time to look at that innocent face.

Especially when looking at it without a hijab, Syifa's black and long hair is so beautifully shiny.

Sean shook his head slowly, Syifa really made him crazy. Not just his body, but his heart. Which makes him fall in love, because the sincerity of Syifa can easily accept his present state.

Sean lay down next to Syifa, staring at that face up close. He wanted to touch her, but was afraid to wake her up like she did in the hospital yesterday.

The girl squirmed, feeling someone lying next to her. His hand grabbed the figure, now Sean was surprised at him.

Sean brought himself closer, making Syifa go into his arms. Leaning Syifa's head on her chest.

Syifa felt very comfortable. Sean was the second man to hug him after his late father.

"Yes..." Calling slowly

"What's wrong? Why awake? Am I bothering you?"

Syifa shook her head,

"Absolutely not." The answer.

"Then?"

"Never leave me, my mother. I don't have anyone anymore." Sluggishly. Sean rubbed the black hair, though,

"Sure, you're my wife. I'll always take care of you." Sean answered tightening his embrace. Syifa was getting drowned in Sean's arms, the man landed a kiss on his forehead. It seems Syifa is no longer awkward.

"But tomorrow I have to go."

"What's wrong, I always remember that Mas is married and has a wife who is always waiting for your return." Syifa

"You never lost my mind." The answer again landed a kiss on Syifa's forehead.

**********

Sean sat beside Syifa, their hands clasping tightly. Soon they will part ways, and meet again after six months.

"Please be good Sean. Remember don't be naughty, you're married." Message from Mother Yasmin.

"I'm not a bad guy, Mother." Answer Sean.

"Yes, Mother believes."

The flight departure notice was heard.

Sean and Syifa got up from their seats.

"Mother, Syifa... I have to go." Sean looked at the two women he loved, as if he did not want to leave them both.

"Mother, I'll take Syifa. Please take care of him as long as I'm not next to him."

"Of course Sean, Mother will take care of him. Be careful on the road, son." Sean kissed Mother Yasmin's hand. Then he turned to his wife.

"I'm leaving." Syifa nodded, she kissed her husband's hand. Then gently caress Sean's face. Sean closed his eyes, feeling his wife's last touch before leaving.

**********

Melbourne, Australia

After traveling for several hours, Sean finally arrived at his apartment, a temporary residence during his education there.

"Sean!" Call a woman when she just arrived at the door of her apartment. The man looked, though,

"Diana?" A beautiful woman with brown hair ran up to him.

"You're home yet? Why not tell me? I'll be able to pick you up at the airport." Diana asked who was staring at Sean filled with longing.

"I don't want to bother you." Answer Sean.

"Sean, you never bother me at all."

"Diana, sorry I came in first. I'm tired, I want to rest." Sean tried to avoid Diana. The woman looks like she pursed her lips.

Sean nodded, opened the door and entered his apartment then locked the door. Leaving Diana who was still standing there with her smile.

Sean landed his body on the sofa, stretching his muscles that felt sore after a long journey.

He grabbed a cell phone in his pocket, wanting to contact his wife.

"Assalamualaik." There was the soft voice of the woman across there as soon as the call connected.

"Getishalight."

"Mas has arrived? How's travel?"

"Yes, I just got here. Thank God the journey is good."

"Thank God, then...."

And the two continued to talk for a few minutes until Syifa finally ended the call.

"Ashifa, I really love you. I always want to be near you. Spend time staring at your innocent face. Although in the eyes of others it's just an ordinary girl, but to me you're amazing." Sean's mind after closing his phone.

**********

Three months later.

The University of Melbourne.

"Sean, wait!" Diana tries to chase after Sean who has walked first.

"Sean? What's wrong with you? Why have you been avoiding me for three months?" Ask Diana who managed to teach Sean steps.

For three months Diana felt that Sean was different, although Sean always kept a distance with her but this time she felt more distant with Sean.

Sean stared at Diana briefly, though,

"Sorry Diana, I want to focus on my studies and also I don't want anything to misunderstand."

"Misunderstand? Meanin?"

Sean stopped his steps, he chose to sit on his campus garden chair. Diana followed him, sitting next to the man but still keeping her distance.

"I want to talk." The man said.

"What's wrong?" Diana asked curiously.

"I'm married, so I guess we can't be friends anymore. I don't want my wife to misunderstand." Firm Sean.

Diana immediately stared at Sean's words.

"You're married?" Diana asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I got married three months ago." Sean looked into Diana's teary eyes.

"You lied, right?" Diana's voice rang out withstanding the cries.

"Did I ever lie?" Sean asked back. Diana shook her head slowly.

"When did you get married? With who?"

"Three months ago. Called Asyifa. I married her when I returned to Indonesia..."

Sean finally tells him everything, about his sister's accident and also how he could marry Syifa.

"So your sister's dead?"

"Yes, Ivan died that day. I haven't even met him yet..." Sadness came back to Sean when he remembered his sister who had not met for three years, but even death made them unable to meet forever.

"I'm so sorry..."

"Thank you."

Both were silent for a moment.

"Why did you get to marry Syifa so soon?" Ask Diana softly.

"Because I fell in love the first time I saw her, even though she had lost her eyes and her womb. But he could still smile and sincerely accept everything." Sean said with sparkling eyes, making Diana's heart ache.

"I love her because of her heart, not her physique..." Connect Sean.

"Thankfully Syifa, she met you for the first time but it made you fall in love...While me... I've loved you for a long time but I never managed to get to you..." Bemelih Diana. Sean frowned.

"What do you mean?" Ask Sean.

"I love you Sean, it's been a long time. Since you helped me that day... I'm trying to fix myself to look worthy when I'm with you. But in fact, you could never have considered me a friend more." Diana wiped away her flowing tears.

Sean flinched, never knowing Diana loved him.
