"Because I wanted to tell you, I married you 3 months ago. You and I are religiously legal as husband and wife"
"WHAT?????"
Asma screamed in shock and he stood up, looking at his parents and Bilal in turn, his eyes glaring in surprise and unfavorable with his hearing.
"That's impossible... How can it be? I don't know, don't be told, it's_it must be just kidding right?"
"That's right, son. ijab kabulnya in mecca 3 months ago" Abi his heart said, hoping Asma would believe and understand.
"But, Bi. Why wasn't I told? This must be a lie, right? after all, Ustadz already had a wife, Bi. Ma'am...." Asma turned her hopes to Khadijah "This must be a lie, right? You're just kidding, right?"
Khadijah who just shook his head made Asma go limp, he even felt his breath stuck in his throat. His legs were not strong enough to support his body. He looked back at his parents with a look of disappointment and anger.
"Bi, so is that true?" Asma asked softly and her Abi nodded
"And without even telling me?" He again said very softly. "It's a wedding, is it really a wedding? and I don't know?"
"Asma, listen to Abi's explanation first, son..."
"What explanation, Bi?" for the first time, Asma shouted angrily in front of her parents, her voice began to tremble and her eyes glazed with "I.. I was married without my knowledge? with a guy I don't know one bit? And ....And the married man? why Bi......?. Why would Abi be the same as me?"
"Darling, calm down..." His Ummi tried to reach Asthma's hand but Asma roughly brushed her aside, she could no longer stem her tears and let her anger overwhelm her.
"Thousand times I said, I don't want to be in a mate. I'm not ready to get married. I'm 18 years old, Abi....Ummie... Why do you want to know?" between his hands he said desperately.
"Abi did this for your happiness baby?"
"What kind of happiness, Bi? by being the third? tell me, is that what Abi wants? I'm a destroyer of people's households?" Asthma wiped away the tears that ran down her cheeks violently, but those damn tears kept flowing nonstop. Asthma began to hiccup and her body trembled with her cries.
"What do I feel at all because there is meaning to Abi and Ummi? You can tell me first before making that crazy decision, if not to get my approval, at least let me know. This...It's my life Bi, I'll live it. I know if I can be happy or not. Why is Abi really so evil?" asma's tears were getting broken, she walked away from them, she really hated this fact.
With eyes puffy because of tears that did not stop flowing, he looked angrily at Bilal.
"And you.." he pointed to Bilal full of anger "What makes you want to be double? Isn't your wife perfect? don't you love each other? Are you satisfied with what you have?" Bilal doesn't know what to answer to all the charges Asma made him, he can only close his lips tightly with a look of guilt and hurt.
"Zahra.forgive me...."
"Zahras....Zahras....Zahras...." Asthma shouted in annoyance and stared intently at Bilal. "Stop calling me by that name!" his screams that also made Bilal surprised, did not expect the Asthma reaction would be this angry.
"You're all evil" Asma took the glass on the table and threw it on the floor until it broke into pieces as a sign of her anger, suddenly it makes everyone surprised, especially his parents who never saw Asma as angry and became very rude.
Asma immediately ran out no matter what Ummi kept calling and chasing her. Until he arrived he accidentally hit Adil. Seeing Asma running and teary eyes made Adil very worried. Fairly remove the Asthma tears and ask
"What's up, Asthma? Why are you crying, Dek?"
"Sister...Abi equals Ummi evil..." Asthma immediately embraced Fair and poured out all her sadness and anger.
"You mean?" along with that, his Ummi came, he walked slowly and approached Asma who was still in Fair embrace.
"Aspie... Love ...." His Ummi touched Asthma's shoulder but Asma once again brushed her off, she still sobbed in Fair's arms. Fair who understands the cause of Asthma tears, can only be silent, he stroked the Asthma head lovingly.
"Don't you know that, too?" her shrewd. Fair did not answer, he just tried to pull Asthma into his arms again but Asma pushed Adil backwards "So Brother Adil know? Does everybody know?"
"Please calm down Asthma, let us explain it first" Asma stared disappointedly at Adil, he walked back and away from Adil and his Ummi. He also saw his Abi, Bilal and Khadijah coming. Asthma immediately ran to her room and her cries grew.
Never thought his family would be that kind to him, never thought it would happen to him.
As great a decision as possible, about the future and his life, was decided without the slightest talk of him with Asthma.
Asma locked the door of her room, she dropped herself into the bed and cried there. And accidentally, he saw one of the unfinished novels he read, Asma took the novel, tore it to shapelessness, he hated the novel, he always hated the love triangle story. He doesn't even think about the writer who could make such a sad novel, how he puts someone in a very painful love triangle.
And now... Destiny put him there. Unsatisfied with destroying the novel, Asma walked up and picked up the alarm on the table, he threw it violently until it broke, he rattled his bed until it was a mess, dissatisfied with it, he said, he walked towards his bookcase, and threw the book one by one as an outlet of anger in his soul.
" Why did all this happen to me, why? Wh why? Why does anyone understand my feelings? Why are they all doing that to me?" Asma sobbed and continued to randomize his room, something he had never done before, his soul was disappointed and angry at the reality he had to face, making him unable to hold back.
Until Asma finds nothing else she can throw and becomes an outlet for her anger, she sees her teddy bear
the blue one was lying on the floor, Asma took it and was about to damage the doll, but she undoed her intention, she sat on the floor and leaned against the foot of the bed.
Asma was still crying while hugging her beloved doll. He doesn't know now how he should live the life he never imagined.

While in his room, Bilal could not sleep, as well as khadijah. They turn their backs on each other, just as busy with their thoughts and feelings. Until he arrived, Bilal felt the hand of the khadija coiled in his stomach, and Khadija hugged him from behind.
"I'm sorry...." Khadijah whispered, making Bilal immediately turn around and stare at him, Bilal stroked Khadijah's cheeks which seemed to be getting more and more tyrannical "
"He's just Shock, Khadijah. "
"But Mas. Asthma's right, it's about her life and.."
"Shhhttt" Bilal took Khadijah in his arms, he stroked the short-cut khadijah "Sleep, it's night"
Khadijah closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep. Usually, whatever the problem he faces, he will stay asleep in Bilal's arms. But somehow, at this time he still felt unsettled and could not sleep.
Bilal looked up at the sky of his room, recalling the first time he saw Asthma, in a matter of seconds, Asthma made his heart shake, his heart pounding, his heart pounding, he could not take his gaze away from Asthma at that time, and during his first meeting with Asthma a few days ago, Asthma always looked cheerful, free, and her lips always singed her sweet smile, she said, or as he pouted in annoyance and stared intently at Bilal.
But what he saw tonight, in Astma's eyes there was only anger and disappointment. Even when he saw Asthma crying, Bilal seemed to be crying too.
"Yes Allah...Was this my wrong move?"
