Tone sat down on the prayer mat with tears that accompanied each prostration. The tightness in his chest was unstoppable and he could only pour out in prayer.
It is not easy to accept the fact that now her husband has also become the husband of another woman. She could not even imagine the togetherness of Farhan and Kania who might currently be sharing the warmth that she never got from her husband.
No matter how hard he tried to hold back so that his tears did not spill, but in fact more and more held back the more his tears flowed.
Mama Sarah who passed by in front of Nada's room, stopped her steps when she heard a sobbing coming from inside Nada's room. Rushing he instantly opened the door of Nada's room without knocking it first.
"Astaghfirullah, Tone." Mama Sarah immediately approached the crying Tone by covering her face using both palms that were still wrapped face up. Mama Sarah hugged her daughter-in-law and daughter tightly while rubbing the back of the vibrating Tone.
"Udah, Nada, there's no need to cry for a man like Farhan." Said Sarah's mother with great emphasis as if what she was talking about was someone else and not her own son.
"Your decision is right to part from Farhan and Mama is very supportive of your decision. It should have been done a long time ago, when you knew that Farhan was only forced to marry you just to fulfill Papa's last wish, and not now that Farhan has remarried." Unknowingly, Sarah's mother pulled out her teeth.
Mama Sarah also broke her embrace when Nada's sobbing began to subside, she wiped the remaining tears that pooled in the corner of Nada's eyes.
"There is one beautiful sentence from Ali ibn Abi Talib, it reads this: when you sincerely accept all the disappointments of life, then God will pay for all your disappointments with thousands of kindnesses. Learn to understand that everything that is good for you, God will not let go unless it will be replaced with a better one. So yes, no need to cry Farhan again and explain him. I'm sure you'll get a much better man than Farhan, who loves and loves you as sincerely as he does." Mama says.
Nada nodded, then he lay his head on the lap of Sarah's mother as he often did as a child when he was sad to remember his parents who died in a pretty sad state. Mama Sarah was right, should have asked Farhan to separate from her early marriage before getting hurt like this.
Mama Sarah rubbed the tops of her daughter's head until both eyes of Nada slowly closed.

On the bed that had just witnessed the unification of two people who had officially become a married couple, Farhan and Kania sat side by side in silence in the middle of the night.
Several times Kania tried to grab the hand of the man who had become her husband to hold but quickly Farhan also brushed it off. An apology that maybe even Kania had said dozens of times he did not mind at all, he seemed to care for his ears from every word of apology spoken from Kania's lips.
His disappointment could no longer be expressed in words, all he could do was to remain silent and repeatedly rub his face violently. Wanting to be angry but not knowing who to be angry with.
Tonight he should be happy to marry the woman he loves. He should be happy because he just had Kania completely but along with that also a huge disappointment approached. On the night that he should be happy it feels gripping because of a reality that is like a hard slap for him.
"Mas, listen to my explanation first." Said Kania, a little regret why he had not been honest with Farhan since the beginning of his return, and see now Farhan was so disappointed in him.
"Udah, I don't want to listen to anything first, I'm tired of taking a break. You better get some sleep, it's late." Farhan laid her body on her bridal bed, pulled a blanket over her body and tilted her back to Kania.
