The Agent's Shadow Bed
Will You Be My Second Wife

Alzam went into Dara's room. She saw Dara already sleeping while hugging their wedding photo first. Alzam approached him and took the photo slowly. He put the wedding photos back to their place. Covering Dara and kissing her forehead. Alzam's eyes glazed when he saw his wife who was sick had not yet healed. He could feel how much pain Dara felt.

"Dear dear, may you heal soon, you must be strong. I also miss the old days when we were just married. I always loved you Dara, if my heart loved another woman, would you get hurt? I don't want to see you sad. I don't know how I feel, lately I've been comfortable with Emira, she's a nice girl and different from other girls. I want him to be by my side and help me take care of you" Alzam said in his heart.

After that, Alzam stood up. Walk to the toilet. Cleanse her body and then change into a nightgown. Alzam lay down beside Dara. He hugged Dara who was sleeping.

Dara soon awakens to see Alzam hugging him while sleeping. Dara hugged Alzam back tightly. It's like he hasn't seen Alzam in a long time. Dara shed her tears. He was afraid that times like this would end tomorrow. He inhales the scent of Alzam's body which always leaves him homesick. Maybe this scent tomorrow or the day after tomorrow he can't smell it back.

"Alzam I want to always be with you like this.But fate says otherwise, I will leave you far away someday. I want to be able to hold you even longer and repeat the days we've been through. I love you Alzam" Dara said in her heart. He knew his age was soon. He hopes to enjoy the rest of his life with Alzam. Even if it was a while but it was enough for him.

Dara shed her tears, she recalled the time with Alzam. Memories that can never be replaced by anything. Memories are always in Dara's heart and mind. Maybe his body will go but his love remains for Alzam.

The night changed in the morning, the sun began to rise. The birds started whistling. A breath of fresh wind swept across the surface. The sunlight is so warm, making every person eager to live the day. That morning Emira took Dara for a morning walk as usual. Dara was so happy when she was outside the house. He saw various flowers in the flower garden which was in the courtyard beside his mansion.

"Emira I can't wait for your belly to grow and give birth, can I still see it? Or I'm gone" said Dara.

"You can't say that to Dara, I'm sure you'll be healed. You can see my stomach grow and give birth" replied Emira. Getir had to tell Dara the lie. His guilt raged in his heart. Thrashed want it feels like screaming. If it was all a lie.

"I want to carry her, she will definitely be happy to grow up in our family. He has two mothers and a father" Dara said..

Emira holds Dara's shoulder. Handled it. He didn't know what Dara's heart was made of. In times of illness she can divide her husband. She herself needs her husband.

"I'm sorry, Dara, for all this charade," said Emira. If he could and did not hurt Dara, he wanted to be honest that he could not lie to such a good and strong woman.

Not long after Alzam came to those who were looking at the roses in the garden.

"Morning," said Alzam.

"Again" said Dara and Emira together. He glanced at Alzam.

"Why do you like roses?" ask Alzam.

"Yes," replied Dara.

"Then I will pluck the red rose for you" said Alzam.

Dara nodded.

Soon Alzam picked the red rose. Then approached Dara while carrying a red rose.

"This is for you, Dara" said Alzam gave the red rose to Dara.

"Makasih Mas" said Dara.

"Yes dear" replied Alzam.

"Pick up roses for Emira too," Pinta Dara.

"Ee ...," said Alzam.

"No need for Dara" said Emira.

"You're Mas Alzam's wife too, so Mas Alzam has to give you roses" Dara said.

"Mas let's get Emira a rose," Dara pinta.

Alzam.

Rushing Alzam picked another red rose. Approaching Emira. Standing in front of him. His heart was pounding no more. When you are near him.

"This emira is for you" said Alzam to give the red rose to Emira.

"Yes, thank you Alzam" said Emira while taking roses from Alzam.

"Didn't you like roses?" dara asked to look at the expression of Emira who did not look happy when getting the rose.

"Yes I don't like flowers" replied Emira. He doesn't like flowers. Especially the red roses.

"Later you'll love flowers, they smell good and beautiful" Dara said.

"Yes Dara" said Emira.

After their morning walk, they went inside the house to have breakfast together. Emira feeds Dara first, after Dara eats Emira delivers Dara to her room after breakfast. Emira drops back into the dining room for breakfast, but Alzam is still at the table. Emira sat down and ate with her hands.

"Emira you used to eat with your hands, never with a spoon?" ask Alzam.

"I'm used to it like this, using a spoon if I eat something fruitful" replied Emira.

"I'm going to the opening of my friend's boutique, do you want anything? Clothes or bags?" ask Alzam.

"No, my clothes are many" said Emira.

"How are you doing lady's bag?" ask Alzam.

"I prefer a backpack, it's too feminine for me" replied Emira.

"You're a woman who doesn't want much yes, very lucky if you can have you" said Alzam.

"What's? What did you say?" ask Emira.

"I mean the person who can have you must be very lucky" said Alzam.

"You don't know me yet, I can't be a girl in general. You see me, sometimes my father and my mother like to nag because I'm like this, they say I'll find it hard to get a soul mate if I'm not being sweet, meek and attractive" replied Emira.

"I like you the way Emira is, there's no need to change yourself like anyone else. You are special and different from other women" said Alzam.

"You're weird, Alzam, I don't like being over-praised. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages" replied Emira. He felt that Alzam was a bit different. Emira was awkward.

"Emira if anyone asks you to be a real second wife, would you be willing?" ask Aditya.

"Your question is too challenging for Alzam, to marry once I haven't. It's a second wife, I'm not interested" replied Emira.

"I can't lie to Dara, she wants us to have children, what if the time is not much, it would be very guilty if we lie to her" Alzam said.

Emira remained silent. The expression on his face turned cold. Alzam's words confused a thousand languages.
