Young Wife For My Husband
CHAPTER 216 Desire of Arthur Handoko
...Bro, pray for me. Today we will marry siri in the mosque....
Arthur who got the incoming message from Victor on his WhatsApp shouted loudly.
"What the hell? Crazy the Victor! Why is it that everyone on this earth is so weird, magical bin!"
He who has now returned to his magnificent home that is occupied with Inayah seems to be in disbelief.
In front of him lined bottles of alcoholic beverages that used to always be his daily friend.
Inayah had banned, even to the point of crying because Arthur returned to being a free man out of control like an animal.
"Mas, this drink is illegal. I haven't consumed that drink in a long time. He was a devout convert. All of the past, we've been buried deep."
"Close your mouth! Just because your name is on a wedding book, then you want to rule my life? Nonsens!"
"Mas.., hik hyks..."
"If you don't like it, you can leave this house! Please!"
Of course Inayah tried to survive.
He never even once told the true situation that happened, since Arthur lost his memory and went back to craze like the days of his old jahiliyah.
...[.How's Arthur doing, Nay? Is...he can already accept the fact that you are his wife and Pupu is his son?]...
Amelia asked on her phone yesterday afternoon.
"Mas Arthur is good, Ms. Yu'. Still a process of self-adjustment. Still amazed by his condition now. I'm also trying to give my best to Arthur's health. Please pray for me always huh, Ma'am?"
...[.Alhamdulillahot. The spirit, yes Nay. Trust me, God is with us every step of the way. This exam will soon pass. Be patient and sincere in accepting the trials that God has given. Do not despair, especially now you are pregnant young. Yes, Nay?]...
"Thank you, Ma'am. Keep praying for me. There is good news, next week Papi and Mami mas Arthur will come here. Hopefully Arthur's condition will improve later."
...[.Aamiins. The spirit always, Inayah. Duh, Eve cry pingin mimic milk. Shrimp first is the phone. Howdyamaha!]...
"Greetings waalaikum..."
He could only take a long breath.
He should remain and be sincere as his brother suggested.
This exam is only temporary.
In a moment, Arthur's memory will surely return. That is the hope and prayer of Inayah every time prostrate to the Creator.
But if it's a year? Or even more? And Arthur's condition is still like this? Hows it? My stomach is growing every day. And HPL (Accounted Birth Day) is getting closer. What if Arthur is still this weird?
Slowly the seeps of Inayah's tears fell on the cheeks.
The test of life this time was quite big for him. Inayah hoped that the storm would end soon, and that her happiness would finally be forthcoming.
"Mother?"
"Yes, Honey?"
"Why did Mother cry? Is it because of Papa's current behavior?"
Inayah shook her head quickly.
He smiled after shrinking the tears on his cheeks.
"Mother is happy, Papa is healthy again. Pupu also happy khan? Especially now that Papa is increasingly affectionate with Pupu. Aye right?"
Inayah smiled again seeing Pupu nod.
"Yes. Pupu was happy despite being confused. I often wonder about my mom. In fact, Pupu never saw Mama again. Pupu loves Mother more than Mama. Papa gets angry, pinches Pupu then says that Mama Bianca is a special woman for Papa and Pupu."
"Papa's right. Mama Bianca is the mother who gave birth to Pupu into this world. So, Pupu must love Mama Bianca."
"But from birth Mama Bianca never loved Pupu. Instead, Mama left Pupu."
"Something will go wrong until your mother leaves you, my child!"
Inayah turned to Arthur who suddenly came out of her room. Pupu ran over to Arthur. But the man is on fashion on as cold as a three-door refrigerator. So just stroked his son's hair softly, but his eyes lit up staring intently at Inayah.
"It's possible your mom left because of this girl. Could be, right?"
"Mas!"
"Why? Don't like my words? Feel persecuted? Why not just leave this house? Simple khan? Your problems and mine are over!"
"Mas Arthur..., can you accept the fact that I am your wife? Moreover.there is a prospective child who is now residing in my womb, Mas!"
"Say an abortion. Why bother giving birth and taking care of it? Beres khan?"
"Astaghfirullahal'adziiim.., Mas!?"
Arthur shrugged and nodded.
In his hand was a bottle of liquor.
He opened the lid which was still sealed. Then swigged directly in front of the Son of Arthur Pangestu.
And suddenly,
"Hoekk!"
"Why does it taste so bitter like this?" he muttered to himself.
"That's because Mas' mouth and stomach no longer accept illicit drinks, Mas!"
"Close your mouth, hey little girl! Or, if you're really my wife, open the veil that covers your hair! Openup! Don't be such a saint! Your own brother's head doesn't wear a covering. She's beautiful, different from you. And I'd rather him than you even though you're younger."
It is sad that Inayah heard Arthur's rebuke.
Her heart is increasingly fragile, especially her hormones are down and up the impact of her young pregnancy.
Falling down her tears.
"Lad..."
"Yes, Honey?"
"Why Papa now likes to be angry with Mother? What's wrong Mother? Whereas during Papa's illness in the hospital, Mother always take care of Papa. Not Mama Bianca, but Mother who loves Papa."
Arthur fell silent.
His little heart also acknowledged that.
Bianca never loved herself sincerely.
But considering that Pupu is his flesh and blood born from the womb of Bianca, Arthur slowly re-establishes the belief that Bianca actually loves him. But, his arrival tells Arthur about Pupu very late.
"Mama Bianca is not looking after Papa. But you have to remember, Mama Bianca gave birth to you, son!"
Inayah did not dare to argue. Arthur's story is correct.
"What happened to you, Arthur?"
"Bapy! Mommy!"
Arthur was excited like a boy to find the arrival of his parents who were standing in front of the middle room door.
Inayah smiled with relief. He immediately approached to kiss the backs of his two in-laws' hands.
Arthur looks up to Frederica and Joko Handoko's attitude.
Inayah has explained about the condition of Arthur who suffered retrograte amnesia since a traffic accident the other day and ended up being a different man.
Frederica kissed Inayah's forehead while whispering words of comfort.
"Patience to Inayah. Arthur will remember your time together."
How could Arthur remember so quickly? Just by looking at my face, she became so emotional and hateful. Was that as hateful as he was to the hijab woman? Is he sorry if he sees women closing the aurat?
Apparently, it all started from his atheist attitude that does not believe in the existence of God since he felt many times cheated Bianca with feelings of love overflowing.
Her hard life, her never luck in romance makes her a kufr human.
That's why Arthur used to dislike hijab women. She thought the women in the hijab were hypocritical women. Closing the aurat but still like to gossip, joget at tiktok and sometimes participate in the action.
He did not know that closing the aurat is something that is required in Islam. It cannot be confused with a minus character.
Joko's story about Arthur and his past.
"Pi, Mi! If it is legal and religious this marriage is legal, now I want to file a divorce lawsuit against this woman!"
Jeleggerrr
Like lightning striking in broad daylight. Arthur expresses his wish to Frederica and Joko shortly after they sit down together to discuss the circumstances of him who cannot remember the good times with Inayah.
"Can't, Arthur!"
"Why, Pi?"
"Your wife is pregnant. Divorcing a pregnant woman is forbidden religion and state."
"Which religion?"
"Of course it's the religion you now profess."
"I? Containing what religion? Islam, just like him? I think that's impossible! I never thought of becoming a Muslim and converting to Islam!"
"But in fact you've been through it."
"I? Log in to Islam?"
"That's the truth. My child, you should restore your physical and psychological health first. After the memory recalls, you will definitely return to remember Inayah and your wonderful love."
"Mommy and Papi support this marriage? Am I not so different from you? Not in a religion with you. How can you find your child of different faiths and marry a Muslim woman?"
"Aren't you the one who persistently convinced us? You said you were in love with Inayah. You want to be a better human being. Try to remember again."
Arthur's stunned.
His little heart was still very incredulous.
It was like a long nightmare for him.
Especially after seeing Inayah and her stomach that began to grow because of the age of the womb that has entered the fifth month.
"But now I want a divorce!"
