Sharing Love: Is My Husband Yours?
The Mirage of Happiness

"Alya, don't do anything crazy!"

Darwin hurriedly dragged Alya by the hand, forcing her to walk up the stairs.

"Depart, release!" alya. Darwin let go of Alya's hand as soon as he arrived above.

"I'm crazy for loving you" Alya said. "But I'm not stupid, honey."

"You think I'm gonna drown myself in the river? Then, you can live happily with the actor."

"Then, why are you standing there? What are you doing?" ask Darwin.

"I was just thinking..If Rania and I were to be thrown into the river together, who would you save?"

Darwin was silent to Alya's question. Meanwhile, Alya looked at her with tears. Then, Mas Darwin said, "That's not going to happen."

"Why do you say that? You can't answer my question." Alya urges.

"I will save you both" replied Mas Darwin.

"can't. You can only save one person" Alya said. "Who will you save?"

Darwin was silent, unwilling to answer Alya's question. Alya waited a while, but Mas Darwin remained silent. Alya was upset and said, "Is that how you choose me, dear?"

Darwin remained silent. Alya shook his head and walked away from Mas Darwin.

"Alya! Alya!" Darwin rushed after Alya. "I love you, baby."

Alya's footsteps stopped immediately. He turned his body right in front of the cottage. He now faces each other with Darwin. He looked at Mas Darwin's face, shrouded in anxiety.

"Can you erase Rania from your memory for good?" ask Alya.

"Can you not contact him for the rest of your life? Will you not look for his son all your life?"

Darwin was stunned to hear Alya's questions. Then, "I can't, honey." The words came out of Darwin's lips.

"Tess!" Alya's tears were falling.

"I can't. I have a responsibility to my son" explained Mas Darwin.

Alya fell silent. Only the details of his tears became the answer to the words of Mas Darwin. Suddenly a feeling of guilt arose in Mas Darwin's heart for hurting Alya's feelings.

Mas Darwin held onto Alya's arms and said, "I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry."

"Now I know... Rania and her son are more important to you than me and our love" Alya said, sobbing.

"It's not so, honey. Not so," said Mas Darwin.

Alya was silent again. She wiped her tears, but kept falling. He looked inwards at Darwin. Then, he said, "We'll just end our relationship."

Instantly it was also like being struck by lightning, Mas Darwin's heart jumped, his eyes wide. He immediately said, "Why are you saying that, dear?"

"I love you. You don't have to give up and sacrifice like this" he said, shaking Alya's arm.

"I'm not sacrificing. I fight for my happiness" said Alya. "You and this situation are driving me crazy. I almost lost my sanity. I can't stand a man who keeps feelings for another woman. I want a love that is whole, undivided like this."

Darwin was stunned to hear Alya's words. He really did not expect Alya to ask to part with him.

"You know ..Every time you spend with that woman, my heart hurts so much? Every time I realized my husband had another woman, I was always hurt and crying. However, I always bandaged her with a smile before you. All this is torturing me and now I know your love is gone, baby. Dirty."

"Our relationship has no hope," Alya's voice sounded so desperate.

"I love you, dear" said Mas Darwin.

"Me and Rania will only hurt each other if it continues like this. You have to choose one."

"And, in fact, you can't leave Rania and her child. You want them. Then let go of me!"

"I don't want to be combined."

After saying that Alya hurriedly walked towards his car parked by the river. He got into his car and left Mas Darwin who was still shaken with his words and requests.

Alya drove her car quite fast. Until finally he felt his eyes became very blurred because of the puddles of tears in his eyes. He immediately pulled his car to the side of the road and stopped it there.

His mother's words were ringing one by one in his ears. 'Sooner or later Darwin will return to his mother and at any time leave you, son.'

'I won't let that happen, Mother, ' Alya said at the time. 'I will not let Mas Darwin leave me. It was the actors who had to go far away from our lives.'

'The blood relationship until anytime can not be cut off, son, ' said his mother. 'If you defend Darwin, you separate the two blood relations. Darwin and his mother. The second was Darwin's relationship with his son. Their blood relationship can never be erased. Until whenever you won't be happy, Alya. The boy needs his father. Darwin won't just abandon him. Sooner or later you'll lose Darwin's love.'

'But I love her, Mom, ' Alya said.

'Love should be happy, not torturous, ' said her mother and Alya immediately said, 'I am happy, Mom. I'm happy with Mas Darwin.'

'Your happiness is a mirage, Alya. Be aware! You're not really happy. Every day you're haunted by the anxiety of losing Darwin.'

'You've been crying too much, son, ' said her mother. 'Darwin has changed, he has betrayed you. Why do you still want to defend it and keep getting injured repeatedly?'

'Release him! Release him! You deserve real happiness.'

Alya's tears kept falling. He put his face on the steering wheel of the car. He was crying and sniffling like a child.

'I promise to be faithful to you forever.' He remembered the words of Mas Darwin when they were just married.

'No one will be able to separate us. I will love you until the end of my life.'

'Only death will separate us.'

Speech after speech Mas Darwin alternately appeared in his head and it made his sadness even more so. Alya was very strong to hold back her emotions and everything overflowed with cries.

Meanwhile, Mas Darwin returned to the inn with shaky steps. He was like a really frustrated teenager. He rubbed his face with a very depressed expression.

He remembered Alya's words. 'If you love me, let me go!'

He also remembered my words. 'The longer you hold me, the more you will hurt me.... Unhand me!'

'I can't stand being your wife. I want a divorce with you as soon as possible.'

Darwin took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he took his phone.

"Dad," he said later.

"What's Darwin?" ask her father from across the channel.

"I'm in the middle of a tough choice, Dad."

"Hmm...." Dad just muttered.

"Alya and Rania both asked to part with me."

"If so, it's time for you to think about the happiness of both of them" said the father. "Now .. is not the time to think only of your happiness. You can't be selfish. Think of the happiness of both! Then, let go of one of them!"

"God didn't give us what we wanted, Darwin. God gave us what we needed. Let go of what you want! Ikhlaskan! Then, you'll get what you need."
