Not the Perfect Wife
186. S2 - Amanah Nayla
Nayla and Mr. Hari wait for Afrin in the parking lot. Not how long awaited was finally out with his three best friends.
"Sir Nayla, how about a pick-up?" ask Afrin as soon as she gets close.
"Yes, I don't have any work at home. Do you want to meet Nuri?" nayla then turned to look at Nuri. "I want to talk to you for a minute. Can, right?"
All looked towards Nuri, making the girl misbehave and feel bad. After that time, they did not meet again. There was also awkwardness that the girl felt.
"May, brother," replied Nuri at last. He could not possibly refuse the request of the person who had come all the way to school.
"You come with us. We will take you home later" said Afrin.
"Yes, you come with us. Just for a second, okay! While walking home, we talk" Nayla said.
They have been the center of attention for some students. Inevitably Nuri nodded at last. Vira and Sisca were surprised, there was a need for what Afrin's sister-in-law with Nuri, but they felt bad for Nayla so, the two just kept quiet.
"Come, we're going!" take Nayla with Nuri.
"We go first, yes," said Afrin to Vira and Siska, both of whom were called.
The three of them boarded the car that was driven by Mr. Hari. Afrin sat in front. While Nayla and Nuri are behind because there is something they need to talk about.
"Ri, I'm sorry about what happened back then. I really don't know if it could happen that way" Nayla said softly.
He feels guilty for the girl in front of him, because Nayla's desire makes Aydin angry at Nuri.
"It's okay, Brother. I understand why Aydin was angry. It also happens because of misunderstanding. I've also assumed that Brother never said anything yesterday."
"If it's about that, no! I still feel like I did yesterday. I still want you to be Mas Aydin's wife and a connection mother to my son."
"Sister, don't ask for something that doesn't necessarily happen. God willing, my brother will be healed."
Nuri tries to encourage Nayla. He did not want to accept that trust. Although the girl loves Aydin, but the man does not and she does not want to live a relationship with a love that is only one-sided.
"But it's impossible. I know how my body is right now. Everyone says I'm going to get well, but they don't know how I suffered when the disease came back. It was excruciating,"
Nuri and Afrin no one dared to speak, because they also did not know how Nayla was suffering. However, for Nuri to replace the position of the woman, it is not easy. Everyone knows how much Aydin loves Nayla and can never be replaced by anyone.
"I just believe in you. Many women pursue the love of Mas Aydin, but among them, there is no woman who matches what Mas Aydin and my son need. It's all just you, that's why I'm begging you. Promise me that after you graduate High School, you will marry Mas Aydin" Nayla continued by holding both palms of Nuri.
"But, Brother-"
Nuri said Nayla had already cut it.
"Take this my first and last request. I won't ask for anything anymore. That's all it is."
"But Brother's request is too heavy. Big brother knows how heavy I'm stepping into that house now? Especially seeing the owner."
The car they were driving stopped. It appeared to have arrived in front of Nuri's house. Looks minimalist house with classic design.
"Thank you, Brother, Afrin and Mr. Hari. I'm taking you, " said Nuri.
"Together, Non," said Mr. Hari.
While Afrin just smiled in response. Nuri gets out of the car, and Nayla follows him.
Nayla immediately got into the car without waiting for a response from Nuri. He also closed the car glass so that the girl could not say anything. Mr. Hari drove away from Nuri, who had previously banged on the glass door next to where Nayla was sitting.
"What did my brother say? Until Nuri gedor-gedor the door," asked Afrin.
The girl wondered what Nayla was talking about with her best friend. He was sure it was about his brother-in-law's request, but Afrin also could not interfere he knew if Nayla's request had a reason.
"There's nothing. I hope my conversation was with a parrot, no one told anyone. Mr. Hari understands, right?"
"Yes, Non" replied Mr. Hari with a nod of his head.
While Nuri, still standing in front of his ruamah. He was confused, not knowing what else to do. The trust given by Nayla, too heavy to run.
"Lady, why are you standing there?" tegur Umi Salma, Nuri's mother who just arrived.
"Where are you from?" tanya Nuri was a little nervous. I heard Nayla's words earlier.
"From the front stall. Why are you standing here? Why not come in?"
"There's nothing, Umi. Look at the Afrin car that just left."
"You were delivered with Arin Why wasn't he told to stop by first?" ask Umi while looking at the street.
"He was in a hurry, just like his sister-in-law," Nuri replied lying.
"Yes, come on, come on!" They also entered the house.

"Aydin, how about the doctor who's gonna take care of Nayla?" emran asked his son after they finished the meeting.
"The doctor said the odds are small, but whatever it is, we have to keep doing it."
"Papa hope you are prepared for any consequences. Even the worst."
Aydin was silent. The man was confused as to what to do. She also thinks about Nayla's request to her sister's best friend. Aydin knew his wife had succumbed to her illness and had only survived for the sake of their son.
Once Aydin caught Nayla withholding her pain in the middle of the night. He wanted to hug his wife back then, but he knew she definitely didn't want anyone to know, if she was holding back any pain.
From that day on, Aydin could not bear to force his will on the woman, but he was also unwilling to lose his wife forever. The man still wanted to laugh and raise his son together.
"You have to be strong for the sake of your son and wife" Emran said.
Only words of encouragement could the man convey to his son. He himself did not know what else to do. A lot of doctors came to him and they all said the same thing.
