The Second Angel of My Husband
Chapter 11

Zella tries to escape her past memories. Zella breathed her breath repeatedly.

In your current state, the appearance of Taufik is very bad. Yes Rabb .. Why should I meet people in my past, YOU know very well, if I have given up everything long before he was married, and long before I was married.

"Zell, you go on ..." said Alea.

"You're selling here Zell?" cut out that guy.

"Emm, my friend is the one who gave me the idea and recipe for this sale" Alea said.

"Owh .. deservedly, every time I enjoy it, it makes me feel like I'm back in the past."

"The past was just behind my sister, focused on looking ahead and arranging as well as we can" said Zella.

"It's easy Zell, by the way, but it's hard practice." Protest the man.

"Sometimes there is a hard time, brother, not always nyemplung that way, stay Kak Taufik want to try or not."

"Zell ... I'm eating again, instead call berak ...."

"Sorry Brother Taufik," said Zella.

"Eh .. Do you know each other?" Alea looked at the man and Zella took turns. "Sir Taufik? Not the name of the Father, said Rahman, right?"

"Taufik Rahman."

The same word that Zella and the man said. This made Alea even more convinced, there was something special between the customer and his best friend.

"Excuse me brother, I want to continue wrapping the order." Zella just passed by to the frying place of their sale.

"Truely you said," said the man, condoning Alea. "When you have a different hand, it won't disappoint. The one Ragil served was delicious, but this one was much better."

Zella pretended not to hear Taufik's words. Alea was confused as to how to behave. Whatever happened to Zella, Zella's current status is still the wife of people. Alea herself had no idea what the status of this man in front of her was.

"This world suddenly feels narrow Zell, I didn't expect us to be reunited" said Taufik.

Alea began to cringe at the man, slowly Alea approached Zella while wrapping up the order of the man named Taufik Rahman.

"Don't tell me he's your ex" Alea whispered.

"Where is it? Not just an ex, rather he was my first love," said Zella lightly, even her gaze was still focused on the frying pan.

"What is this thing called destiny, Zell? Onoh met with first love and then married, and whether your meeting ...." Alea is in a condition that Zella and Taufik's meeting will also be like Akhsan and his young wife.

"There must be some wisdom why God brought us together with someone who was special in our lives in the past. But God's destiny suddenly said something else. A person who is very close .. suddenly moved away by a cause."

Alea was confused by Zella's words. Not that he didn't understand, the woman smiled instead.

"In your view, what is the wisdom of our meeting?" Suddenly Taufik was near them.

"For we are connected first is the wrong path. In Islam we are not allowed to date, but we are even dating. So that when fate does not unite us, we feel pain for any separation because of that separation."

"Whatever the cause of our respective marriages before, accept with sincerity, and express the past that was forced to be completed," continued Zella.

"Misal ... Can't we love a partner?" taufik sela.

"I also got married without love, but I could love my husband as time went on, because our relationship happened with God's permission. I don't think the reason for love doesn't feel like it."

"Then ... what is the wisdom of this meeting of ours Zell?" ask Taufik again.

"Good guess, maybe God wants us to take away our past sins that have not been erased because we have not forgiven each other."

"I think Brother Taufik knows what kind of sin is not erased even though we have repented and asked God for forgiveness."

Taufik breathed so deeply, honestly he could not forget Zella. But the feeling remains strong, even though there are women who have status as wives at home.

"It is a sin because of our cruelty to our fellow beings" Zella said. "God does not forgive us if we only apologize to HIM. God will forgive us if we apologize to the person first for the mistake we made. After apologizing, apologizing, and then forgiving each other. God has forgiven us."

Zella stared at the 2 people nearby alternately. "Isn't the ex or whatever he calls him, he's also a creature of God? Have we ever apologized for his crying because of our actions? Have we ever apologized for the wounds we had on his heart? One more thing, have we ever apologized for being his partner for committing rape?"

"A few years later God brought us together with a special person in the past like we are today, this meeting needs to be contemplated, this meeting is not to repeat the story of our past that is so beautiful, but to finish something that's not finished yet we assume it's done."

Zella and Alea finished wrapping up Taufik's order. Zella turned off the stove fire, and turned her body towards Taufik.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I can't name one by one my mistakes. What is clear is that I apologize for ever leaving a wound in your heart and making you fall" said Zella.

Taufik was confused as to what to answer, he focused on his order and paid it to Alea. Taufik immediately left and headed for his car. But after a few steps, he stopped. "Before you apologize, I'm sorry for you Zell. Sorry for all the mistakes in the past, do not rule out the possibility that your heart used to also hurt because of me."

Sorry I'm Zell, too, because until this moment, I still love you. Though you are the wife of men, Inner Taufik.

Taufik again swung his pair of legs away from the place, and got into his car. Within seconds, the man's car was nowhere to be seen.

Zella smiled at Alea who was still looking at her unblinkingly.

"I've finished everything about my past. Listen to yourself, she's sorry for me, and we forgive each other" Zella said.

"The word first love is hard to forget" Alea said.

"It should be an encounter with an old person, call it first or former love, maybe the main purpose of God encounter is to forgive each other. But some people are overwhelmed by memories of the past when they meet again, until they try to revive their story."

Zella imagines Akhsan and Shamil, the ones who bring their old stories to life, without thinking about how new people feel about the future with her. Remembering the pair of human luknuts, Zella's tears flowed back.

"I think your decision to leave Akhsan was the right one. I support your plan." Alea gently rubbed Zella's back.

Zella could not answer, she tried to wipe away her tears. She didn't want her daughter to see herself cry.

"Zell, tonight I'm staying at your house, I want to watch a pepes fish series like my best friend" Alea said.

"Bas with you!" Zella wants to hit her best friend, but Alea has run away first.
