The Ugly Wife's
Letter from Haykal

Zenith, Kana, and Ratih smiled happily when they heard the news that Ashifa had learned of William's affair with Aliya, which made the woman decide to leave the house and even agreed to the husband's desire to divorce.

"Finally, a barrier between me and William, we can be removed. Now, it's time to get Aliya back to where her husband is" Zenith said, laughing slylyly.

"You're right, honey. Mommy can't wait to see you officially become William's wife, as well as being mommy's daughter-in-law"

"Zenith was just as impatient as mommy. In addition, Zenith wanted to thank you for the help of mommy and Kana's sister during this time"

"Together Zenith. Mommy and I just do what we can, but what's more important is you. Isn't that right, mom?"

"True Kana. You've shown how much love and desire you have to be with William. But, don't forget the thing that mommy ordered from before"

"What is that, mom?" asked Zenith curiously.

"Good-grandson to mommy, baby. From now on, you should take care of your body often and consume plenty of fertility vitamins. Let after marriage, you can quickly get offspring"

"Ah, yes mom. Zenith will do everything mommy says" Zenith replied with a forced smile.

Looking at Zenith's strange expression, it made Ratih and Kana look at the girl with suspicious looks. Because Zenith's expression seemed to say that she did not want to have a child.

"What's up, Zenith? Why is your expression wry like that, do you not want to have children after marrying William?"

"Ti_no Kana. It's not like that, I'd really like to have a child with William. It was even my dream long ago"

"Thank God. Mommy thinks you'll also delay pregnancy after marriage, like Kana. Oh yes, later mommy will make you a schedule to check the content, so that we can know what the condition of your womb and what you need to get pregnant quickly" said Ratih at length, said, with enthusiasm.

"Thank you mommy"

"Together, darling. Then, did Aliya not tell you, when will Ashifa and William get divorced?"

"Said Aliya, the two of them will soon take care of the divorce in the near future. But maybe the process will take a little longer, so we should be able to wait a little longer to get Aliya back"

"Can't you speed up the divorce, mommy is sick of seeing Asyifa's face or Aliya's face! The two women were very disturbing the scenery!"

"Prophe mommy. Everything will go as we want" Kana told her in-laws.

"What about the child in Asyifa's stomach? Will William have to remain in charge with the boy?"

"So, Kana hasn't told mommy that Asyifa had a miscarriage thanks to the medicine we gave her?"

"Gosh, I forgot. Sorry mommy, I didn't have time to tell mommy last night" Kana said.

"Hahahaha, geez why is that woman's fate so unfortunate?! It's very sad that his son must also contract the same fate from his own mother" said Ratih with a happy laugh.

There was not the slightest look of sadness on the woman's face, after learning that her future granddaughter had died. He even laughs more like a possessed person, because he is so happy.

Kana and Zenith also ended up laughing together. But a second later the laughter of the three must be forced to stop just like that, after seeing Haykal's figure enter the living room of Ratih's house.

"Ha_Haykal, honey? Why are you at this hour at home, and not at the office? Did you come home early?" kana asked looking nervous.

"Not much to ask Kana, go and prepare lunch for your husband. Haykal must have come to mommy's house, to have lunch with food that mommy cooked" Ratih told Kana, to divert the conversation.

"Alright, mommy"

Kana immediately got up from her seat and wanted to pass from there, but her hand was held back by Haykal. The man's face looked extremely unfriendly, as if he had prepared to start a fight with everyone.

"A_what is Haykal, why are you holding my hand this strong? To_ please let go, it hurts" asked Kana while grimacing in pain.

"Haykal, please let go of your wife's hand, son. Don't be like that, what's wrong with you?"

Plaque. Plaque.

Without answering the words of Ratih and Cana, and without speaking a word as well, Haykal immediately threw two slaps at once on the cheek of the beautiful woman who had become his wife.

Kana who got a sudden attack from Haykal, could only freeze because she was shocked. While Ratih and Zenith were shrieking in shock at the same time.

"Sister Haykal, why is it so harsh on Kana? Ka_if, if Kana's sister did something wrong to you, why not talk about it all right?" zenith tried to advise Haykal, with a feeling of anxiety.

"Shut up! This is all because of your actions, which Kana was involved in your rotten plan!"

"What plan do you mean, why accuse Zenith and Kana like that? Did your mom ever teach you to treat your wife that bad? Mommy's very disappointed in you, Haykal!"

"Haykal was more disappointed in mommy! Why can mommy be that bad as a woman and as a mother? Mommy doesn't even grieve at all and instead laughs happily at the news that your granddaughter is gone, is mommy really human?!"

"You_you, you_heard our conversation just now?"

"Yes, I heard it. Even all your talk, I have heard with my own two ears! Do you understand now why I took your parlour just now, Kana?"

"Ta_but Haykal, everything we do is for the sake of William's happiness. We didn't do it for no reason, please believe me"

"Did William himself ask you to do it, didn't he?! You can even make Asyifa lose the child she is carrying, in order to fulfill your evil desires! I didn't expect all this time that I had taken a monster to be my wife!"

"Heykal!"

"Why, did you not accept my words just now? What if, I decided to divorce you just as William would divorce Asyifa, would you still feel happy?"

"Ja_don't joke, Haykal! You can't do it, I'll never get a divorce from you. Mommy, please tell Haykal to retract his words"

"Look, what should I do for Haykal's brother, so that he will take our side back?" tany Zenith, trying to negotiate with Haykal.

"I don't need your money, Zenith. And for you Kana, I will still divorce you. Just wait for the subpoena from the court!"

"Haykal, don't be like this! Don't divorce me, please!" kana said while hugging her husband's arm.

"Didn't I give you a warning not to do evil to Asyifa? This is the reward I have prepared for you Kana!"

*****

Geck... Geck...

The sound of a knock on the door of Ashifa's room, instantly broke the woman's daydream. Still lying on the bed, he turned around to see who had entered.

It turns out it was Angel who entered while carrying a bouquet of flowers in which there are white carnations and also white tulips.

Asyifa looked at the wreath with curiosity, about who sent it. Because white carnations have a meaning of condolence, while white tulips themselves have an apology.

"Sorry to interrupt your break, Fa. I just wanted to bring you a bouquet of flowers that the courier just delivered to you"

"It's okay, Ngel. But, from whom did the flowers come? He seems to know very well that I'm in a state of mourning"

"I also felt so, when I saw only two kinds of flowers in the bouquet. But sorry, I don't know who sent it"

"so. Can I see?"

"of course. Oh yes, it looks like there is also a card, maybe the name of the sender is there" said Angel while handing the essay to Asyifa.

"Thank you, Ngel"

"Either. I'd better get out now, too, 'cause you're gonna be uncomfortable right if I'm here?"

"Not really. I was hoping that you would accompany me to read the card written by the sender of the flowers, would you be willing?"

"Of course, I'd be happy to do it"

Angel smiled happily at Asyifa's offer, because it meant that Asyifa began to reopen herself, after days of only confining herself in the room, and would interact as necessary.

Angel immediately sat down next to Ashifa, and began to read the writing on the greeting card. It turned out that the one who sent the flower was William's brother, who was none other than Haykal.

"For my dear sister-in-law.

Hi Asyifa, I'm sorry if I don't know the shame, still calling yourself sister-in-law. At first I did not like you, but the more you are known, you are a warm and very patient person. You can even face all the evil behavior from Kana and mommy, without even a hint of revenge.

I don't know what else to write here, but as much as possible I also want to convey a thousand apologies that have not been spoken to you. First of all, I'm sorry that only now do I offer my condolences to my deceased nephew. I'm sorry I just found out about William's affair with Aliya behind your back. I'm sorry that until the end of you being the daughter-in-law of our family, there's not a single happiness we've given you. And lastly, sorry for being late to accept and for ever being mean to you. Actually there are many more apologies that I have not conveyed. But really, I'm really sorry about all that Asyifa. I don't want to say a single reason to be a protector, because I know you're the one who's suffering the most right now. I, as a big brother, could do nothing to make up for it, and to the end I still remained a coward for not being able to meet you and apologize in person. I can only hope that in the future, when we meet again, at least I can be a little more useful to you even if it is just once.

Warm regards, your sister-in-law, Haykal"

A drop after a drop of tears slowly, it began to flow down both cheeks of Asyifa after reading the letter written by Haykal. He felt very moved, because at least there was still someone who accepted him and grieved for him in the William family.

Although he did not know and was close to Haykal, but from a piece of the letter, Ashifa could feel the sincerity tucked away there.

"It turns out, Brother Haykal, truly accepts you sincerely. At least in the family there is still someone who loves you, I'm grateful" said Angel, representing the feelings of Asyifa.

"Me too"

"And it is not only Haykal's brother who sincerely accepts and loves you, Fa. Me, Mira, Zidan and Lilian's mother, will always be there for you"

"Without you having to tell me, I am well aware of that. I'm sorry that for these few days, I've been living and I don't want to interact with you too much. I just feel like I'm doing nothing, it won't make me better. So I decided to spend every moment contemplating and united with the grief I felt"

"I understand, Fa. We don't all want to force you to act like you always do, but we don't want you to be immersed in it for too long either"

"Before receiving the letter from Haykal, I felt that I still needed to mourn even longer. But now that I realize, I need to be able to untie the rope that connects me to William, so I can help free everyone who has guilt for me"

"You mean, you're ready to take care of your divorce with William?" ask Angel not to believe it.

"Yes, I'm ready. Although it's hard because I still love her to this day, but the kindness of myself and everyone, I'll try to deal with it"

Hearing the decision made by Ashifa, Angel felt very moved and immediately rushed to embrace the woman. Both of them cried without being held back.

"Thank you Asyifa, thank you for being brave enough to face it all. You are great, you are strong, and you deserve to be happy!"

"Thank you, Angel. At a time like this, I desperately need the support of all of you, I hope you stand up to defend myself"

"Sure, Fa. We will do it" replied Angel firmly.

Without both of them realizing, the three pairs of eyes that had been watching attentively, joined in smiling happily. They are Mira, Zidan and Lilian.

"You two also heard, right, said Asyifa just now? That means, we must do our best so that all divorce matters run quickly. Mother does not want Ashifa to spend a lot of time meeting the man"

"Me too, mother. If possible, all William and the woman were given a punishment equal to the suffering felt by Asyifa!"

"You don't have to worry, Mira. Mother has told Zidan to find the best lawyer to accompany Ashifa in court later. Mother herself will make sure, they receive the reward"

"Wouldn't we just hear Ashifa's decision? After all, this is his right" Zidan suggested.

Because as far as Zidan knows, Asyifa will definitely not like what has been planned by his mother. Zidan was very familiar with what the figure of Asyifa was, the woman was not a person who liked to repay crime with crime as well.

"Alright, we listen to the decision of Asyifa according to your words" Lilian agreed.
