The Agent's Shadow Bed
Marry again

"Mas marry again" asked Dara.

"No, until whenever my wife remains you Dara" refused Alzam. Without a doubt the words were thrown out. He cannot beat his beloved.

"But I'm sick, I can't serve you as a wife" Dara said.

"I married you not just for that, but lived with you until the end of my breath" Alzam said.

Dara was crying. He had cancer for a long time. Various treatments have been done but the results are nil, but Alzam always supports Dara even always patient and be on his side. Like the sun that tirelessly shines upon the earth. And the moon illuminates the night. Alzam is a dream husband.

Why dream?

Not only handsome, Alzam is smart, rich, kind and loyal. What woman doesn't want a man like that. Anyone who knows Alzam will fall in love. Although her attitude was ice-cold in front of the woman on the outside but not in front of Dara, she was warm and considerate. It's like Dara has it all on Alzam. As a husband, friend, partner, parent and place leaning from everything.

"I beg you to grant this request of mine, I cannot meet your inner needs" said Dara.

Alzam sat in bed with Dara. She grabbed Dara's hand, kissed her while crying. His heart was so wounded hearing the words of his beloved wife.

"Because don't ask for something I can't give you, I can't ask for you."

"I don't want to see you lonely, you need someone who's always there for you, either as your wife or partner in bed."

Alzam just cried incessantly. It never crossed his mind to grieve Dara. He is either sick or healthy. Alzam holds the promise of marriage that he has always believed in until now. Only death will separate.

************

Alzam Mahendra has a wife who is ill with stage 3 uterine cancer. His wife was named Dara Safira. She's a hijab woman. For 5 years Dara just lay in her bed. If she wants to go out of her room have to use a wheelchair. Dara has difficulty walking. His days were spent lying in bed or sitting in a wheelchair. Sometimes she was bored but she did not want to trouble her husband. Alzam has several times looking for people to care for Dara but rarely stay at home for long. They can't take care of Dara. Sometimes Dara's little heart cries with her condition. Not even going to the toilet can. It was fortunate that Dara had a kind, patient, loving husband like Alzam. So that he remains steadfast in the face of his illness.

Alzam is the CEO of Mahendra Group. Mahendra Group Company became one of the largest hospitality and tourism companies in Jakarta. Alzam is known for being hardworking, not giving up easily and also disciplined. That's what makes it even more successful. Despite his success, he has been so lonely for years. His wife is sick, he no longer has any friends to share. He never told his wife bad things to take care of her health, even though his wife was sick Alzam loved him very much. He never offended Dara. He always tried to make Dara happy even though for small things.

Alzam has brought Dara to seek treatment here and there is no result. Even Dara's condition is getting worse and worse. Alzam can only pray and try his best for the recovery of his wife. Dara hair to bald due to chemotherapy process. Dara who used to be very beautiful is now like an undead and skinny. Dara's face was very pale, all the aura on her face seemed to fade away.

Dara doesn't expect much of his recovery, he just wants to see Alzam every day before tomorrow maybe he can't see Alzam anymore. Alzam and Dara have been married for eight years. Three years after her marriage, Dara was diagnosed with uterine cancer. After that the light in his life seemed to disappear. His days are filled with drugs and syringes, even Dara already does not know what kind of delicious food his favorite. Since his illness his life was full of rules. He must take care of food, drink, rest, thoughts, emotions, take medicine regularly and always be eager for hope of healing.

In Alzam's mansion there is only his long-time servant aunt, chef, driver, gardener, and security guard. Some of the waiters on the exit don't want to if you have to take care of Dara too. Only Bibi Nur who faithfully accompanied Dara on the sidelines of her busy taking care of the big house.

One day Alzam made a pact with a secret agent. He deliberately hired the secret agent from the headquarters of the secret agent. The agent's name is Emira Dilara. He's an A-level secret agent. Emira does not yet know the mission that Alzam will be given. So they met in an agreed hotel room. Emira was wearing a black shirt and a tomboyish look. Emira goes into the hotel room to meet Alzam.

"Good day, I'm Emira Dilara, the A-level agent you're going to hire." Emira begins to introduce herself to the man in front of her.

"I'm Alzam Mahendra, please sit down!" Alzam lets Emira sit on the sofa in front of him.

"Well, what mission am I going to do?" ask Emira.

"This mission is no ordinary mission" Alzam replied.

"What's the mission to kill people?" Emira is curious about the mission that Alzam will give her. He tried to guess it.

"No, I want you to pretend to be my second wife." Alzam direct to the point on agent Emira.

"Pretending to be a second wife?" Emira questions back to Alzam's words that make her almost laugh with a strange mission, even Emira is confused by what Alzam says, she usually gets a mission to spy on people, look for evidence, uncover difficult cases, and find out more, and find information according to the case given to him.

"My wife is sick with stage 3 uterine cancer, she wants me to remarry but.. , I can't betray our sacred marriage vows, that's why I asked you to pretend to be my second wife."

"Funny! I'm a secret agent, not a stash or sugar baby you can hire as you please. There is nothing like this in my mission. Sorry, you're just looking for someone else."

"I'll pay you anything, if I need half my fortune I'll give it to you." Alzam made a fantastic offer to Emira. He hopes that Emira is interested.

"Sorry, it's a waste of time."

Emira stood up and was about to leave Alzam, but Alzam immediately knelt in front of Emira. She begged Emira to pretend to be her second wife.

"I beg you to help me, I don't want to wish my wife, I just love her." Alzam's eyes glazed as he pleaded.

"Find someone else! not me."

Alzam. He no longer knows what to do.

"You can find someone else you can hire to pretend to be your second wife."

"I need someone to trust and keep this a secret. I don't want to be involved in a conflict that will hurt Dara. I hear secret agents are always professional in their mission."

Emira remained silent. He thought of what Alzam said. Someone else might get Alzam in trouble. Moreover, Alzam is handsome and rich, any woman will try to have it all. What about Dara? of course he'll get hurt. As soon as Emira remembers her mother's illness, Emira never had time to accompany her because she was on a secret mission to find evidence of corruption in government abroad. He's been undercover there for a long time until 1 year. He did not visit his sick mother. Until one day his mother died. Emira did not get to meet her mother for the last time. Only regret always comes up in his heart. Until his father and sister did not want to meet him. Emira was so sorry to see Alzam who wanted to grant his wife's request, even if it was just a pretense.

"Wakeup! I'm gonna take this weird mission, all I'm doing for your sick wife."

"Thank you, Emira."

Eventually Emira agrees to pretend to be a second wife for Alzam, all this she does because she remembers her late mother. Maybe that way he can take care of Dara to pay for her mistakes in the past.
