The 2nd Wedding
Chapter 8

"Sorry Aunt. I can't. I didn't get a reason to accept this match?" answer Kinan.

"Nan many words could be strung together to be Nan's reason. You can heal each other's wounds on the excess of life you live. You can support each other and help each other to forget the past. You can work together to shape the future with your children. They both need each other. Princess Refan needs a mother while your Son needs a father. Can't you make an excuse?" ask Sacred.

There was a pain that was like pinching the inside of Kinan's heart.

"But we are the same - just can't forget Tan's past, marriage needs one strong reason in order to continue.. There will be many more who will be his victims. Our children" replied Kinan.

"Tante is very confident that you can be a good parent to your children. Refa, who has long wanted a child, has always cared and cared for Nan's children. You are also full of gentleness and patience in raising your children. Aunty is sure you can be a surrogate parent. And if you ask marriage needs a good reason to survive. Auntie knows what you mean Nan. The love.. Love can be present because of habituation, love can be present because you need each other and love comes because of a relationship that is Kinan marriage. Aunty sure you're a pious woman. Which if already tied in the rope of marriage you will be faithful, for you husband is a field of worship. Loving and serving her will be the purpose of your life after marrying Nan" Suci tries to convince Kinan.

"Tante. a. I've made my decision" refused Kinan.

"Please change your decision Kinan. Aunt please.. Refan is now very fragile because of the departure of his wife forever. He needs a place to lean that makes him come back strong. Aunty realizes that Aunt is selfish, as if forcing you for the life of Aunt's son who once hurt your feelings. But this time Aunt chose to selfish Kinan. Pleaselaaaaah" Suci sat on the floor to plead with Kinan.

"Tante don't be like this" Kinan pulled the Sacred body back to sit on the sofa.

"Please Kinan. forgive Aunt's selfishness. You're the only hope Auntie" repeated Holy.

Kinan was in a dilemma. It was like being in front of two intersections. Confused to determine which path he would take.

It is hard to choose between the two. He didn't know what was in front of his eyes, it could be something beautiful in front of him is not necessarily beautiful if he has lived it so also vice versa not necessarily what he sees bad will remain bad in the future.

God is the only owner of this life. As if he were going to surrender to God.

Indeed, since the matchmaking for the second time began, he has not performed the prayer of Istikharah. Because Kinan felt very confident at the beginning to reject this matchmaking offer.

But he was really worried this time. Moreover, seeing the Saints plead so heartily like this. Kinan's little heart refused to reply with a hurtful word

"Aunty.I'm sorry that I can't answer it right now. I actually turned it down at the beginning but since Auntie did everything up to this point, I will try to reconsider. Please give me until this week. I will ask for guidance from God. But Auntie. please, whatever my decision will be, don't ever stop Auntie again. If if I stick to my previous stance I beg you to accept and respect my decision" said Kinan.

Sacred wiped away the tears that flowed down her cheeks. At least his son still has a chance. May Allah side with His Son this time. At least his little grandson could be happy after losing his mother. Holy Hope.

"Thank you Kinan, you want to reconsider your decision. At least Refan still has another chance to be happy in his life" said Suci.

Kinan just silently heard the Holy speech.

"Then Auntie said goodbye to Nan. Sorry if Aunt's actions make you feel hesitant to reject her. And again, thank you for everything" said Suci.

"Same - same Aunt" replied Kinan

Suci shook Kinan's hand tightly then hugged Kinan warmly after which he said goodbye and left Kinan's room.

Kinan sat back on his sofa. His knees were limp and it felt like he was not strong enough to stand up again.

He really did not expect Holy would do that, he thought the matchmaking problem was over last night but it was not that easy. Now his heart was upset to remember how the Saint had begged until the Saint almost knelt before him.

Kinan drank the water in the glass on his desk. I think he was really thirsty after everything that happened.

After the arrival of Saints to his office Kinan so do not concentrate on working. Finally he excused himself and came home quickly from his office.

Kinan needed a break to cool his head. Various thoughts - thoughts that continue to cross his head.

"Lho Non kok fast tumben home?" ask Bik Ijah when Kinan reaches his house.

"You want to make warm tea" Bik Ijah offered.

"By Bik" Kinan replied.

"Mamaaaa... Is your mom home?" Salman ran from the TV room welcoming Kinan's arrival.

"Happy.. Mama's son ate?" ask Kinan.

"Had Mama in the same bribe Bik Ijah" replied Salman.

"Pinter Mama's son" replied Kinan.

Before long Bik Ijar had returned with a cup of warm tea and served it to Kinan.

"Thank you Bik" said Kinan.

"Yes Non" replied Bik Ijah.

"Salman bobok day yuk" asked Bik Ijah.

Kinan drank his tea until it ran aground.

"Let me Bik who accompanied Salman sleep. I also want to rest for a while" Kinan said.

"Well Non" replied Bik Ijah.

"Yuk darling bobok same Mama. In Mama's room, yes, all Mama also want to bobok also accompany you" invite Kinan.

"Hore.today we're booby with Mama" cried Salman pleased.

Kinan took Salman to his room. After she was clean and changed, Kinan lay on the bed where Salman had been waiting for her.

"Now we are bobok yes, do not forget to read the prayer sleep first dear" said Kinan reminded his son.

"Yes Ma" replied Salman.

They recited prayers to sleep together after which Kinan began stroking Salman's back until Salman slept soundly.

Kinan looked at his son's face with an indescribable feeling.

O God what should I do to make my son's future perfect again. Do I really have to marry Refan so that I can make the life of an orphan and an orphan return to perfection. We have a complete family but can we be happy?

Kinan's eyes grew heavier, so he fell asleep next to Salman.
