ROMANCE DOWN BED
Elfin

In the corner of the room was a woman who was sitting with her knees hugging, she was heard crying as much as she could, still wearing bridal clothes, it was very clear that she had just had a wedding.

"Mas Panji, why do you stay in me, Mas! Why?" he said in a voice that began to weaken, the woman was named Khaira Arandhita, who is usually called Aira, a sweet woman who became the daughter-in-law of the Nugroho family.

Aira stared at the whole room, how she had to go through the wedding night alone, the night every newly married couple was waiting for this most beautiful opportunity. However, for Aira tonight this bride is no different from the grave where her late husband was buried.

FLASHBACKS

"I accept the marriage and the marriage of Khaira Arandhita bint Ahmad Baihaqi with a set of prayer tools and gold weighing one hundred grams paid in cash" said Martin Nugroho when he said the Kabul hijab to marry Aira, who was not allowed to do so, the woman he never imagined would marry him.

Already his second marriage, witnessed by the whole family, there was no happy face in Martin, as if he wanted to run away from that place. Moreover, seeing his married wife, the woman he never loved, made Martin want to leave immediately.

"Martin! I hope you can carry out the will of your sister, Aira is a good girl, I am sure that Aira will definitely make you happy and be a good wife for you. I know, why Panji deliberately did this for you, because Panji knows that Aira must have helped you become a better man" Ms Asri told her second son.

"L-yes, Mom!" answer's short.

"I'll never be happy with this girl, I never loved her, I just thought of her as an orphanage girl, God! Why should I get a will like this!" muttered Martin who seemed to be pretending to be fine in front of the Mother.

For the sake of not wanting to hurt his parents, Martin was forced to hide his disappointment at this marriage decision which of course made him really depressed, especially he already had a lover named Talita.

The wedding reception of Martin and Aira was over, the bride and groom had rested in the bridal room which had been decorated in such a way with fresh flowers.

Aira seemed to be sitting on his bed, He who used to call Martin by name only, now He called Martin as Mas. Since this day Aira has officially become the wife of Martin Nugroho, the younger brother of the late Panji Nugroho, the first husband of Aira who died three months ago. After Iddah, Aira was immediately married to the younger brother of Panji Nugroho, where their marriage was a request from the late Panji himself who wanted his sister to marry his wife when he died.

"Martin! I have one request for you!" said the man who was lying helplessly on the bed with severe injuries to his head.

"Mas has to rest a lot, Mas's condition is still not stable" replied the Brother who tried to calm the Brother. His wife and parents, Mrs Asri and Mr. Burhan. The banner then said a word that made his Wife and Sister so surprised.

"I know, I think soon I will go before the Creator, before Mas faces the Divine, Mas beg you, promise to do one thing for me!" panji said while enduring the pain.

"Mas! I beg you not to talk like that, Mas Panji must be healed, Mas must be fine," Martin continued to try to convince the Brother. While Aira and Asri look not bear to see the condition of Panji is very alarming, doctors sentenced Panji's skull to injury that is fatal enough that Doctors predict Panji will not be able to survive much longer.

"No Martin! I don't have much time left, I have to tell you!" he said with a tone that began to stammer. Because Martin did not have the heart to see the condition of the Brother, he also tried to listen to his brother's request.

"All right! I'll hear Mas Panji's request, tell me! What did Panji want to say?" Martin seemed resigned to what his brother would say.

"Martin! I want you to promise me one thing, please! Marry Aira after my departure, I want you to take care of her, I love Aira so much, I don't want Him to be alone in this world, accompany Him! If Aira becomes your wife, promise me Martin!" he said while holding the hand of the sister.

Martin looked at the faces of his parents, Asri and Burhan seemed to nod, Martin could not refuse him, because he loved his brother so much, finally Martin was willing to marry his brother-in-law.

"I-iya Mas, I will grant your request, but I beg you not to talk like that again, Mas must be fine!"

"I won't be okay, now I can be relieved to have said this to you, and you're Aira, come here!" Panji is seen calling the girl who has just two days to be his bride. Aira approached Panji with tears adorning her beautiful face.

"Panji Bag! I beg you not to say that again, I only belong to Mas Panji, you must be healed Mas!" Aira said as she kissed her husband's hand which was attached to an infusion hose.

Aira's tears could not be contained anymore, really the girl suffered a very bad fate, only two days he married Panji Nugroho, a successful young businessman, the man who loved Aira, the girl from the orphanage she knew during the donation event at the orphanage where Aira's origin lived.

Aira looked deeply into her husband's eyeballs and he was forced to say that to her by bowing his tear-dyed face.

"Yes, I promise you, Mom! I'm getting married to Martin!" he said in tears that kept coming out of the source.

Panji smiled and after hearing the words of his wife, he began to close his eyes while stammering saying "Lailailaillaah ... Arborea ... Rosullah." The last words of the Banner before He breathed his last.

"Mas! Panji Mas! Wake up Mas ...! Don't leave me, Mas!" Aira cried when she saw her husband's face for the last time.

As Martin regained his senses from his daydream, the man seemed to change his clothes with ordinary clothes, so he immediately took a black jacket and prepared to leave tonight, aira was surprised to see her husband going outside.

"Where are you going, Mom?" tanyanya while paying attention to the appearance of Martin who looks neat. Martin approached Aira and said, "You don't have the right to ask me where I'm going, it's none of your business!"

"But, we're married, Mom! I deserve to know where you're going! Moreover, today is the night of our bride, it is inappropriate for a bride to leave her partner on their wedding day" he told the man who used to be her sister-in-law.

"Never wish I would love you, for I have loved another woman, this marriage I consider only a will, not a bond. So don't dream I'll take you as a wife, I love Mas Panji very much, whatever He asks I will surely grant, even though He is gone, you are nothing more than the parlor girl that my brother picked up!" martin said to Aira on the night of their bride. Martin just left after he said that to the woman he had just married.

FLASHBACK OFF

"Panji Bag! What marriage am I in, you told me to marry your sister, but is this how she treats me?" Aira said as she washed the tears that had soaked her beautiful face.
