The Rahim the Pay
The Siri Wedding

Naima sat next to Zico without makeup or a dress attached to her body. There was only tension on the woman's face at this moment. Because he's going to make a deal with Zico.

In addition to the regent, there are a guardian judge and four witnesses to their series of marriages. Previously Zico had prepared all this and their marriage took place near the mosque of the ruler.

From that moment on, Naima bowed her face. He did not dare to look at the people around him including Zico. His mind kept on going to the mother, let alone the last sentence his mother said before the middle-aged woman dropped.

"Has the contract been able to begin?" ask the ruler and get a nod from Zico.

"It has. I don't want to waste much time anymore" said Zico.

"Well, then we start now."

The penghulu begins with the bass speech. And ended with the word 'legitimate' by four people present as witnesses.

"Aalhamdulillaah .. You are legal to be a husband and wife," said penghulu.

Zico and Naima rubbed their faces. Naima turned her head towards Zico and their gaze met each other. Naima quickly bowed her face back. His guilt arose as Zico, with his floor chanting, had just betrayed the man's wife.

A speck of tears dripped down Naima's cheeks. He never imagined that his life would be like this. He always imagined living with the man he dreamed of. Marrying Zico to him was a dead end, there was no other way but that.

The guard and four witnesses and the judge present were gone. Now there are only two of them there.

"Remove your tears, I don't like to see women cry" Zico said.

Naima turned towards Zico at a glance.

"Why don't you give me another offer, Zico? Why should I marry you?" exciting Naima.

"Why are you protesting now? You're the one who made the deal between us. I've kept the promise to take your mother to the hospital to undergo treatment so that she can recover as before. Now it's your turn. There's no point in you regretting it, because all this has happened. If my wife could give me offspring, maybe I wouldn't want it from another woman. Including you," Zico replied.

Zico's words just now were like arrows stuck right in Naima's chest. It hurts so much. But he also cannot blame Zico completely, the man only made an offer, and the decision remains on him. And inevitably, ready unprepared, he must bear all the consequences. Whatever will happen later.

Naima wiped away the tears on both of her cheeks. He didn't want to cry in front of Zico. The man who has the status of her husband will certainly blame her more if she continues to protest unnecessarily.

"Sorry .." said Naima lirih without looking at the face of the man next to her.

"Yes" said Zico. "Now we go back to the hospital to check on your mother. I hope he gets better."

Naima nodded in agreement. What he hoped for was also the recovery of his mother. So that what he does is not in vain.

"Come," Zico who had risen up stood up.

Naima looked up at Zico's outstretched hand. Naima stood up without her husband's help.

"Come," replied Naima.

Zico looked at his own palm, he thought Naima would shake his hand, but not. Then he pulled his hand back and left.
