We are Not Honey

We are Not Honey
Chapters 30. Meisya Decree


Meisya Grasped tightly onto Riyan's phone which she had just used to reply to a message from her Mother-in-law. Let's just say she was so presumptuous because she dared to open a message and reply to a message on her husband's cellphone.


Well, it's true people say. We better not do anything carelessly. Passing the limit on someone's personal property, because if we find something bad in it, surely we ourselves will be hurt. If Zahra was pregnant, it meant that Riyan had been lying to her all along.


He had not believed long ago that there would be no inner living for Zahra. Well, it's an impossible right to be held by a halal couple who sleep in the same room every day.


A few moments later, the door opened slowly. Meisya was still standing in front of the window of the room with the curtain taught open. Staring at the streets that are still filled and passing vehicles, while holding tightly to Riyan's phone.


"The doctor warned you not to use your feet before you get well, May." Riyan placed a tray of water and some medicine for Meisya on the nightstand, then stepped closer to his wife.


"Yin.." Meisya flipped over her body, then stared fixedly at Riyan's face.


"What's wrong?" Asked Riyan gently. The man further slashed the distance, approaching his wife who was still standing by the window of their room.


"I know why up until now you've never touched me." Meisya.


"Our marriage is not legal in the eyes of religion. I intend, once you're completely healed, I'll re-apply you nicely to Om Erland and Aunt Friska." Answer Riyan.


Meisya flipped her body back, then stared at the passing of the vehicle down there.


"Don't do it again." Meisya said slowly.


"Don't talk about this, May. I've made a choice. Let me help you take some medicine, then get some rest. I'm going to work soon." Riyan. "Do not think macem-macem. Let me take care of everything. Mom, Dad, Om Erland and Aunt Friska are coming to Singapore, and we're going to have a real wedding here." Keep Riyan.


Meisya did not answer. He simply obeyed, and stepped slowly towards the bed. Either because his heart was too tired to be angry about the reality he received today, or he began to realize, no matter how strong he was holding Riyan here, he said, there will never be any more happiness that he once dreamed of.


After helping Meisya sit on the bed, Riyan rushed to pick up the tray that she placed on the nightstand, then went back up on the bed where Meisya was.


With care, Riyan helped his wife drink every item of medicine she had prepared, then put the tray back on her lap, on the nightstand next to the bed.


"You get some rest, I'm gonna get ready for work. I'll be back in the afternoon." Riyan helps Meisya lie comfortably on the bed.


Meisya nodded, then slowly laid her body on the bed.


"Yin.." Hold Meisya in Riyan's hand, as the man is about to get out of bed.


"Hm..." Riyan rubbed Meisya's hair, while waiting for what the wife wanted to talk about.


Meisya closed her eyes. Enjoy a gentle swab at the top of his head.


Riyan stopped her gentle strokes at the top of Meisya's head, then looked at her warmly.


"Tante El misses you, Yan." Say Meisya again.


"Mom called?" Riyan asked while looking at her phone lying on the bed.


"Not really." Answer Meisya.


"There ain't nothing. Aunt Riska and Om Erland must miss you a lot too. They will be here later too. That's why you get well soon, let us really get married like we planned." Riyan. He then moved back from the bed to prepare to go to work..


"Zahra's pregnant." Meisya's words suddenly made Riyan's footsteps stop. "Mom just sent you a message." She couldn't look at Riyan's face.


"May...


"Go, Yan. We will never be able to go back to how we used to be. And I, will never be truly happy as long as there are other women who are hurt. Maybe I can be selfish about Zahra, but not with your flesh and blood." Meisya said again.


"That's her choice, May. And I'm here, it's my choice." Riyan continued his steps. The happy news that Meisya had just said, was indeed very disturbing. However, all of that was Zahra's choice.


"When did you lie to me? Not not you, but you. Since when did you fuck her?" Ask Meisya. Let's just say he's stupid for still wanting to figure out something that's going to break his heart even more.


"I don't want to talk about something that doesn't need to be discussed. Here in this place I just want to take care of the two of us." Riyan.


"Bas coward. You're a loser, Riyan. You're a really bad man." Maki Meisya is upset.


"That's you know. You know I'm a jerk now. I'm really mean to leave Zahra after sleeping all night. I'm really a jerk for still choosing to leave after enjoying his sacred body. Do you know who I'm doing it for? For your sake. I'm going to this place all for you. I'm willing to join the inner hurt of having treated Zahra contemptuously, just for your sake." Upset Riyan.


"Then go. Meet her. We will never be as happy as we used to be. The love between us has been erased by you. I no longer have a special place in your heart, Yan. Go home, and apologize to her for keeping you here too long." Meisya flipped her body. Pulling the blanket over your head, you sniffle there.


Ryan did not leave the room. Picking up a cell phone lying on the bed, then contacting someone and apologizing for arriving late.


After putting her phone back on, Riyan crawled up onto the bed, and lay down next to Meisya. Hugging the body that was vibrating on the blanket, very tightly.


Whether true or not Meisya said, he certainly did not leave this woman alone here.


"You know, I've hurt you both. I've hurt you for marrying Zahra. I hurt Zahra by choosing to come with you to this place. And today, I'm afraid I'm gonna hurt you back if you get out of here." Said Riyan while tightening his embrace on Meisya's body wrapped in a blanket.
