Pledge of Love Rumi
a little bit of Merry's story

little story.

Actually Ustadz Akhri is not a man who is easily duplicitous. But he also could not resist the desire of Maryam who already desperately wanted to find another companion, for the sake of the presence of a child. Even he was willing to take care of the baby from the honey, if needed.

At that time Maryam did not think about the future problems that would arise, due to this decision. He remained determined to his wishes, asking the husband to remarry with his own students, who studied at the boarding house owned by Abinya.

Yep... Although she was still like a woman in general, feeling hurt. But he does not want to be selfish, bang Akhri can certainly be fair, because he is a wise man. How thought.

(Flashback is on)

The night after her husband's wedding to a woman named, Kania.

At that time, he had just finished his prayer, with tears still breaking. For the sake of releasing her sadness, because she had been a witness to her own marriage in the mosque located next to the boarding school building, this morning.

The distance is not far from their home, and even on foot it can still be, that's why he can go home first, without in between.

After she rubbed her face, Maryam raised her head slightly, when she heard the sound of a car below.

The husband had returned, slowly Maryam touched his chest. It was as if the loss of all his heart and heart was when he remembered, a covenant between himself and his husband two days ago, if for a while. Kania stayed with them for a few weeks until home to Kania's residence? it's done with the renovation. Because he must have the right to live alone, without disturbing the house occupied by Maryam, all for the sake of keeping the hearts of each other.

Even if it's the same... Maryam will still feel heartbroken because she has to mix with the honey for a while.

Slowly moving, he walked up to the glass window, peering from there. It looks like the husband is opening the middle door, grabbing a sizable bag, maybe it's Kania's clothes.

For a moment he looked up, he looked at Maryam with a sad look, but his lips smiled toward him. Meanwhile Ustadz Akhri looked down again, he shook his head slowly.

"Astagfirullah al'azim.... Astagfirullah al'azim..." Mumbled. His eyes were wet, he could not bear to see Maryam like that, then in the lyrics again, the woman who was still sitting on the bench next to his wheel. Da... His young wife, whom he had just married. 'shouldn't have brought him here.' Inner Akhri, regretted it. But want how else, if only the house was not late renovation maybe Kania he had brought to their new home. But yes it is.

Akhri closed the middle door. Then walk to the side of the wheel. He sighed for a moment and then exhaled it just as long as he sighed earlier. After the door handle he pulled along with it, he tried to develop his smile to a woman who had been legally his second wife.

"Yuk down." Take him, be friendly.

"Sorry Bang, I'm not good with Ci Maryam. Is it okay for me to enter this house."

"It's okay... Cici asked for it. Yuk, you must be tired, right."

"But?"

Ckla... The sound of the door opening made the two look over. Seen Maryam with a friendly smile welcomed the arrival of her husband and honeymoon.

"That's it, you see for yourself, right?" Last Saying, his hands are still outstretched to him. Slowly, Kania grabbed the hand and got out of the car. They walked together with their hands clinging to each other, approaching a woman who was truly steadfast to greet them with the brightest smile possible.

"Assalamualaik." Sapa Akhri, to be honest he could not bear to look into the eyes of Maryam, which looks sparkling but swollen, and there is still a puddle in the corner of his eyes.

"Walaikumsalam warahmatullah." Maryam answered, she looked at the hand that had not yet let go of the grip on her second wife, but she wanted to kiss her husband's hand before. "You want to take a break?" Ask Maryam to divert.

"I... Aye." Yeah." Kania answered, the girl let go of her husband's hand, then grabbed Maryam's hand. "I'm sorry Ci... I'm sorry."

"Tock... How come I'm sorry?" Maryam was confused, she chuckled but with an increasingly blurry view due to the puddles of water that were accommodated in her net, more and more.

"I'm sorry. essentially forgive me, for setting foot in this house, with Cici's honey status."

"Haha." Maryam hugged the girl, she actually did not want to cry, but because Kania's hoarse voice that was also crying made her unable to endure it. "Don't think about it, I'm just thankful. Because you're ready to be married by bang Akhri." The tears just came out of his eyes.

'oh my God, strengthen my heart. Please strengthen it.' Maryam muttered in her heart. Mary also let go of his embrace. He widened his smile again, with both hands patting slowly on Nia's shoulders.

"Rest... I go in first. I have to write my script, you know." Chuckling, he was very trying to take his eyes off the gaze of the husband who was not breaking to look at him.

Maryam gurgled, grabbed the hand plan bang Akhri and then kissed her.

But Akhri immediately pulled her and kissed Maryam's forehead long enough, while Kania just looked down, letting it go.

"You also rest, don't overtime too late, yeah. I'm sorry, you didn't sleep in the upstairs room tonight." Bang Akhri said, rubbing the base of his head. Because Maryam often overtime even late at night because her job is a writer Novel (not her story author ya ya 🤭), until not infrequently Akhri found her sleeping with the laptop still open.

Maryam nodded, assuring. He also turned the direction... Then walked away leaving the two who were still standing there. His feet were heavy enough to climb the stairs one by one, until he arrived at the top of the stairs, he turned his head down, because he heard the door open.

He saw the husband holding his second wife's hand into the room, and the room was closed tightly afterwards.

"Hiks." Maryam turned her face away, she sat down limply on one of the steps, silencing her mouth. Try as hard as possible to hold back her crying voice so as not to come out.

'no, I'm fine.... I'm doing fine... Hiks, I'm fine. Bang Akhri.' murmured Maryam in his heart.

The tightness forced him to immediately move from that position, then walk into his own room on the second floor.
