We are Not Honey
Chapter 23. First And Last

"Why is it here?" Riyan asked in surprise when Zahra asked him to stop at a villa on the top.

"I'm tired, and I want to rest. Tomorrow morning we continue our journey." Answer Zahra.

"But the orphanage is less than a kilo meter away, Ra. Let's just continue." Riyan looked at the clock that was coiled around his wrist.

"Magrib, Mas. And I wouldn't feel good about Mom if we interrupted their break." Zahra answered, Reason.

Riyan turned his gaze out the car window, then saw a two-story building before him.

"You lied to me. Said you wanted to meet a friend here, but apparently there's nobody here." Riyan.

Zahra removed the seatbelt that was coiled on the body, then opened the door of the car next to her.

"Just this time, Mommy. After this, I will never trouble Mas Riyan again." He then got out of the car.

Riyan inhaled the surrounding air deeply, then exhaled back the air slowly. His chest was raging, his heart was beating incoherently. What exactly does Zahra want, so ask him to stay at this place both. Zahra deliberately measured the time for them to arrive at this place at almost night. Riyan continued to look at the girl who was still his status as his wife continued to step towards the door of Villa. He was still silent in the car.

"Come, Mas. You'll miss Magrib's time. What the hell are you afraid of? Who should be afraid it's me, because tomorrow we're going our separate ways." Zahra said from the front door that was wide open. The girl then went inside, and Riyan finally got out of the car and entered the Villa.

"This villa has no occupants, Ra?" Ask Riyan.

"Some, ghost." Answer Zahra. The beautiful girl then laughed amusedly as she saw her husband pouting with his crisp humor.

"I'm serious." Riyan.

"We pray first, and then we talk. I'm going to talk a lot about me, Rayan, and Nana. I'll talk to you about how nice those two are to me, so you're ashamed." Zahra.

Riyan scratched his non-itchy nape.

"This is the Villa Rayan gave to me, Mas. But through Ms. Nana, and I only found out a few days ago when I told her I was going to ask for separation from you." Zahra said again.

"I can give you a Villa like you." Riyan no I lost to his late sister.

Zahra who was stepping in front, suddenly stopped her steps, then turned her body and stared fixedly at Riyan.

"Will you give me anything I ask?" Ask Zahra.

"of course. Anything, as long as I can give it, I'll give it." Replied Riyan sure.

"Can't I ask for this wedding ring? Take it easy, I won't wear it anymore, and I'll just keep it." Ask Zahra.

"of course. That only?" Answer Riyan.

"One more, but later after we pray Isha congregate." Zahra replied with a happy smile.

*****

Magrib prayers are over. Now Zahra is preparing dinner for herself and Riyan.

"Ra, when did you meet Rayan?" Riyan asked while sitting at a small table in front of Zahra who was stirring the cooking on the stove.

"Three years ago. I'm with you in the hospital with the same disease, heart. The difference is, you just got the disease in his old age." Answer Zahra.

"You love her?" Riyan asked again, and without hesitation Zahra nodded in agreement.

"Life, I've never met a family as good as yours. In the hospital where we were separated, there was also the beginning of our relationship. However, that's not the meeting of his name, if it doesn't meet farewell." Answer Zahra.

"Mbak Nana is evil, she only provides this bad food for you." Zahra said again.

"He still won't talk to me." Answer Riyan. "My whole family's mad, 'cause I started you, Ra." Reciprocity.

"That's why don't you hurt a pretty girl like me." Zahra. He then rubbed Riyan's head. "Eat yuk, I hope there's no poison because I'm eating." He then laughed again.

After that warm dinner, the two sat in the TV room like a happy couple. Laugh at the jokes they make. Tells a lot about their lives before marriage and there are many other things they do there.

Until finally, Isha's time came. For a moment, Zahra still seemed so calm and performed the prayer solemnly as usual. However, after the four rakaat was over, he started to look uneasy.

"What do you want to ask for after the Isha prayer?" Riyan asked after Zahra kissed the back of her hand reverently. Both are still sitting on the table. Until a moment of silence, Zahra grabbed her husband's hand, then put the warm hand to her cheek.

"Mas, I want to be your full wife tonight." Zahra said sure.

Riyan pulled his hand from Zahra's grasp, then shook his head.

"I have no right over you." Her speech.

"But I'm obliged to give it up for you." Answer Zahra.

Riyan held onto Zahra's two shoulders and looked at the girl he knew when he would start to love, firmly.

"I don't want to ruin you, Ara. Present your devotion to the person who deserves it. I don't deserve any of that." Please Riyan.

Zahra released the face that covered her head. The long hair hidden behind the hijab is now clearly visible. Riyan got up from the top of the prayer mat, however, Zahra immediately held him back.

"Mas asked me what I asked for, right? This is my request for the last time. First and last night." Zahra.

Riyan sat down again before Zahra, until a moment later he pulled the tiny body into his arms. He kissed his second wife repeatedly. Inhaling deeply from the long hair he first saw.

"I'm afraid I'm gonna hurt you even more, Ra." Said Riyan with a body shaking from crying. I don't know what angel God put in this girl's body, so heartened at what was going on between them.

"That do'a randomness is over my head, Mas." Pinta Zahra again. "Give me a chance to perfect my religion." Reciprocity.

Riyan let go of her embrace. Staring at the pretty face fixedly, as if wanting to record well, the face of the girl he had injured, however, was still willing to do his duty.

The first kiss was felt on Zahra's forehead. The girl closed her eyes, enjoying the strange rumble that was spreading through her body because of the kiss. Some time they looked at the two of them, then moved from the floor and moved to the large bed in the room.

"Let me do it." Prevent Riyan when Zahra is about to unbutton the canal she is wearing.

A single tear flowed in the corner of Zahra's eye. Perih was so felt in the core of his body when he first presented the crown that he guarded for twenty-six years of his life.

Riyan was not much different from Zahra. During the unification, he ceaselessly kissed the beautiful face of Zahra, while saying an apology repeatedly. Apologizing for not being able to resist her desire to touch the girl she was about to leave.

After finishing the first night, Zahra strengthened her heart and body again and prepared to rise from the bed to clean up. However, Riyan held onto the tiny body, and carried it into an embrace.

"Tonight, crying softens me. Let out all the tears you keep hiding, just so that me and my family feel fine." Riyan.

Zahra was silent, and just wrapped her hands around Riyan's body. The white blanket that covered the bodies of the two, the more he hugged tightly.

"I won't cry on my first night." Zahra replied smiling as she looked up at Riyan.

Riyan kissed the thin lips that he had just enjoyed it repeatedly, making the owner smile even more.

"This is the most beautiful memory I'm ever going to keep, Mom. Mas Rayan believes you are the right person, so I won't doubt that either" Zahra's words made Riyan increasingly tighten his embrace as if not willing if tonight is the first and last night for them.
