The Steel-Cared Rose
Guardian Angel

Dylan's face was very radiant looking at the face of his newborn son.

"I gave him the name Kenzo. You'll take care of your mother and your sisters."

Dylan kissed his baby boy affectionately. Fruit of his love with Sinta. Bersemi because of empathy and sympathy see the state of Sinta.

Dylan did not manage to save Sinta's good name and career. Things go awry when Sean's lawyer bribes the judge and destroys all the evidence. Killing witnesses. Helena was also killed. 

"The circumstances turn around because of the lawyer Sean hired. I'm gonna fake your death and get you out of here."

"Have you told Dean?"

"There's no way I'm telling Dean. He doesn't necessarily agree. He will try to restore your office even if it is not possible. Your name is broken. I'm worried about your mental state if you stick around."

"We're going to escape without Dean's knowledge?"

"I have no other choice. This is all I can do to protect you."

"But I'm his wife. How could I run away from my husband?"

"You and Dean never had a husband and wife."

"Where did you know that?"

"Helena told me everything. Why Dean cheated on you. You don't want to serve him."

"I…."

"Easy! There's nothing left. All my hard work is in vain. Helena's killed. All evidence was destroyed and all witnesses were killed. They slandered you. Saying that I engineered all the evidence and witnesses."

Sinta's face was worried, "How are my in-laws and husband?"

"You need to focus on yourself. I can only save you. You can't possibly endure all the pressure."

"No other choice?"

"There's no other choice. I've thought of everything. This is the only way I can think of to save you from uncontrollable circumstances."

Finally, with a heavy heart. Sinta agreed to Dylan's plan. Sinta's death was faked. 

Dylan paid people to issue a certificate explaining that the body found burned belonged to Sinta.

Dylan also took care of Sinta's death certificate giving it to Dean who looked very grieved.

"I'm really a useless husband! Can't protect my own wife." Dean's tears welled up as he received Sinta's death certificate from Dylan.

"It's the best. If Sinta was still alive she wouldn't be able to endure all the pressure."

"I will try to recover his good name. Restore position. Everything's gonna be fine. Like earlier. I can give it all back." Dean is emotionally. Dylan understood Dean's sadness so he didn't think clearly. That things will not go back to how they were before.

They not only demean, insult, harass and slander him. Destroying character. Lack of competence and trust issue is the hardest. Not yet the utilization that Dean's family will do and maybe Dean himself. Everything will further destroy Sinta's mental state. What Dylan feared, Sinta would experience depression or character destruction.

Being the target of hatred and slander. But he tried to protect her. Will not be able to prevent the destruction of the character that will cause Sinta severe mental illness.

"It's not that easy. All the evidence is gone, the witness is killed yet the slander is thrown out that all the fabrications. It's too heavy!"

As expected, Dean wants Sinta to stay and fight for her name and career that have been destroyed.

Dylan is forced to engineer Sinta's death and take her away deep into the foothills of the Alps.

Buy him a wooden house. With a stables of horses, cows and goats behind the house which is located some distance away from the house.

Create a garden so that Sinta can live his daily life and routine comfortably. As a healing of all the problems that befall and experience.

Sinta looked in shock with all the things that had happened to her. Dylan also could not always accompany her because of her hectic work. 

Dylan went back and forth between Switzerland and Indonesia to take care of Sinta and her work.

After six months, Dylan decided to propose and marry Sinta.

Sinta initially refused due to her marital status.

"With the death warrant I gave Dean, your marriage is over. Moreover, you have never served him as a husband. Your marriage does not really exist. Your iddah mass is also over. Because of difficult and complicated circumstances. We can't take care of things like we should. Divorce and marriage are generally known. I had to hide you here. Our marriage is also known only to the two of us, the judge and the witnesses. Because all your family already thought you were dead."

"Is our marriage legal?"

"It's an emergency. We have no other choice that can free us from this situation. I promise, if things can go back to normal. We'll file your divorce and repeat our marriage if you still doubt it."

"I have an uncle. Brother with my father. He lives in a small town in Italy. Can she be our guardian to marry. I thought if there was a guardian who could get us married. Our marriage is legitimate and we don't have to think about repeating it. I'm afraid we'll commit adultery if our marriage isn't legal."

"Well, I'll find your father's brother and ask him to keep it a secret. I think we should marry a guardian if that's possible."

Their very simple marriage was attended by the penghulu, the family guardian, the half-brother of Sinta's father who was still single. Uncle Sinta promised not to say anything about the wedding. Especially after hearing the explanation from the nephew and her husband.

Uncle Sinta has lived abroad for a long time so that he has never been in contact with family in Indonesia. So it is not difficult for him to keep the marriage secret and keep it as a secret.

Two men witness the marriage of the two of them.

"I feel guilty for Dean. Like having two husbands."

"Your marriage to Dean is over and may never have started. If you serve me and Dean at the same time. That's your name, polyandry. Or you have sex with someone other than your husband. That means you're adulterous or having an affair. But you never served Dean. Or having sex with someone who is not your husband. You do not do polyandry or zina. Your fake death has ended your marriage forever. There's no reason you feel that way. Because I'm your only husband. Our marriage was not the one before. You only have one marriage, not two. Monogamy is not polyandry. Understand."

The decision to marry Dylan was not an easy one for Sinta. But with Dylan's support, Sinta was finally able to decide.

"Substantially, you and Dean don't have a marital relationship. Maybe it can be likened to you dating only in marriage. Your real life is with me. I will take care of you, protect you and take care of you. If we don't get married. I fear we will sin. How about we slip into zina? But if we get married? It's not halal if we give each other affection and love?"

Sinta feels that Dylan is her guardian angel….
