We are Not Honey
Chapters 12. Fight for the Mind After Marriage


The wind blew away the clothes attached to Zahra's body. The cold temperature that hit his beautiful waja, he ignored. Tonight is the second night after they get married. However, the problem that makes it a dilemma still has not got a bright point. Surviving hard, going was difficult, because the man had already stolen his heart.


A month after the proposal, many wonderful things happened between them. That month Zahra thought, there really is only herself in Riyan's life. Because that's how it looks. A beautiful doctor named Meisya, no longer looks close to her future husband. But the reality of last night, made his heart like being stabbed by a sharp object repeatedly, hurt.


"We pray first." Take Riyan suddenly.


Zahra who was still staring at the night light scene in the middle of the city, flipped her body. Staring at the figure of a man who had been this month filled the deepest recesses of his heart.


"Why?" His use asked, making the man who could hear his voice, frown incomprehensibly.


Zahra looked at Riyan for a moment, then stepped inside the room. Passing through Riyan who was still standing in the doorway of their balcony and bedroom barrier.


"What do you want to ask?" Ask Riyan.


Zahra was still silent as she moved her white face.


"Bec...


" It's nothing, Mommy." Answer Zahra. "We want to pray, right?" Ask again.


Riyan paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Both also perform obligations to the creator solemnly.


After performing congregational prayers in their bedroom, Zahra greeted the back of her husband's hand, it was reverent.


"Bag.." Hold Zahra when Riyan is about to move from the floor on a prayer mat.


"People know how long the law falls for a wife who is not touched by her husband?" Ask Zahra.


Riyan returned to his seat. Flip tightly grasped the hand that was grasping his hand.


"I know, and I don't want to torture you in marriage until that long. Just give me a little time to figure out a good way not to let Mom down with my honesty." Answer Riyan.


"Mas, i......


Riyan was silent. Waiting for what sentence this second wife wants to say.


"What's wrong? Tell me?" Riyan asked because Zahra did not continue the hanging sentence.


"I love you. Can you choose me? It doesn't matter if the reason you want to make Mom and Dad happy." Pinta Zahra, unfortunately he could only ask for it in his heart.


"It's okay, Mom. I'm going down to help Mom prepare dinner." Her speech.


Riyan nodded. Removing Zahra's hand from his grasp, then gently rubbing the top of his wife's head.


After Zahra's departure to the lower floor, Riyan immediately contacted Meisya to inquire about his first wife. However, there was no answer even though ringing for the sake of ringing into the phone he was heading to.


Just as he was about to type a short message, suddenly one call came into his phone. A smile was seen on the lips of Tios Riyan, when he saw Meisya's name on the screen of his phone.


Outside the room, in front of the slightly open door, Zahra was standing there. Seeing the smile on Riyan's handsome face when he got news from the woman he knew the owner of her husband's heart. All sorts of questions re-introduced his brain. What if he is so selfish now wants to separate two people who love each other? I don't know, but his heart wanted to have a man still sitting on that floor.


Zahra shook her head.


"Hey.. I'm just asking how it is. Afraid if something bad happens to her." Riyan.


Zahra just nodded her head.


"Come on." Riyan smiled, then pulled Zahra's hand towards the stairs, and went downstairs.


"I'm going straight to the kitchen, Mom." Zahra glanced at her hand that was being held tightly by Riyan. "You want to see Dad, right?" He asked again, looking at the sofa where his father-in-law was sitting.


Riyan nodded, however, never letting go of his hand..


"Hand me, Mom." Zahra.


"You did." Hit Eliana on her son's shoulder.


"Mom.." Riyan protested for getting a blow from the Mother. "I'm sorry." He let go of Zahra's hand.


"Neither need to be separated." Said Eliana while linking her son and daughter-in-law again. "Let's go to the kitchen, we'll have dinner. I'm gonna call your dad first." Push her in the bodies of Riyan and Zahra.


"I'm sorry." Riyan chuckled as he let go of his hand.


Zahra also smiled a little. She had been determined from the night of their bride to do what she should. Smile at the beautiful little things happening inside their household. Enjoy every second of God's time, and go where destiny's flow takes it.


"Mother is like that, Ra. He could be even more extreme than this." Said Riyan again.


Zahra nodded in confirming.


"I know, Mom. My mother was the strongest woman I ever met. In the midst of grief due to Rayan's disease, he was always able to create a living atmosphere. There are things that no other mother can do out there when she is sad. But you can do that." Answer Zahra. "Thank you." He said again as Riyan pulled the chair that he was about to sit on.


"You know enough about my whole family. It's just me you don't know." Said Riyan while sitting next to his wife.


"We get to know each other as time goes on. We're gonna have a long time to get to know each other, even if we can spend the rest of our lives." Answer Zahra.


Riyan looked at Zahra.


"Will it get there?" Ask lirih.


Zahra looked towards the kitchen door. Make sure if the middle-aged couple they left in the family room, have not reached the room where they are.


"If Mas thinks marriage is a continuation of life, then Mas is wrong. After we get married, it means we start a new life. Like a new student. I know what a new student is like in school. There will be a lot of testing there, as well as marriage. I assume, what we're dealing with right now, is a test of marriage." Clearly Zahra was at length, making Riyan's heart warm.


This girl, this beautiful girl is his wife. Well, this wise girl is the trust that Allah entrusted to her.


"That's exactly it, son. Iiihhh, Mother's daughter is not only beautiful, but also smart." Eliana poked her daughter-in-law's cheeks.


Kenan smiled happily. The man also heard a long sentence just uttered by his son-in-law. Only continuing to hope in the heart, Zahra was able to convince her son, if there is no marriage that there is only beauty in it.
