POV.Merwaist
My name is Merwais Ahmed Khan. I'm forty-two years old. I'm still a virgin. Yeah, said the old virgin, hahaha.but I don't care. I am a descendant. My brother is from Pakistan, while Ummiku is from Indonesia.
Although the blood that flows in my blood is predominantly Pakistani, but I love Indonesia. With her people, including Dina.
I knew Dina, through Vera's intermediary. My age and Vera are not much different. Just one year older than my age. I also called him Brother, because he was carried away by the atmosphere of employees in Boutique Vera.
I can speak Indonesian because Ummi always taught it to us, Me and my sister, Kabir.
I was born and raised in Pakistan, Queeta city.
Almost every year we go to Indonesia, because Ummi wants to introduce Indonesian Culture and Indonesian people who are very friendly.
Don't think I've never known a woman. When I was twenty years old, I was married to a Pakistani girl named Razia. A very beautiful seventeen year old girl. I accept her as my future wife.
But, it turns out that the soul mate does not unite us. The day before the wedding, Razia had an accident. Not alone, but with me.
At that time, I accompanied him to go to school on my favorite motorcycle, to see the results of graduation. Razia graduated with very satisfactory results. He was happy, and took me for a walk to the Flower Garden.
On that road, a truck lost control because of the brakes blong, hit us.
I bounced, and Razia was dragged by the truck by a few meters.
I was hysterical and approached her. I don't care about the pain in my body. I hold her hand tightly. One of the last words Razia said was "I Love You". Razia died in my lap.
*****
After Razia's departure, Abi took me to Dubai. Abi didn't want to see me continue to slump in grief.
Abi opened its business in Dubai. He asked me to run the business. Under my leadership, the business grew and advanced. I also finally followed Abi's advice, to open branches in various regions and abroad. One of them is in India, Turkey and Italy.
In Dubai, I was once again fascinated with a beautiful and intelligent girl. Name Ayesha. She has a tall body, pure white skin, a pointed nose, clear eyes and a thin aunt.
I was twenty-seven years old. I was in a relationship with Ayesha for two years. Then I proposed to him.
During my relationship with Ayesha, I didn't know anything she was hiding. I did not expect, behind her carelessness all this time, Ayesha saved her own suffering.
Three days before my marriage to her, Ayesha was admitted to the Hospital by her family.
I met him immediately too. Arriving at the room, I was shocked at what I had seen. Ayesha with a pale face had been lying weakly filled with medical equipment on her body. That's why I've never seen Ayesha take off her hijab. It turned out that the beautiful hair had slipped from her scalp.
The doctor said that Ayesha's age was not long. Because the disease had robbed his whole body. Leukemia at the end.
Hearing the Doctor's explanation, it was as if my world had collapsed. Crushed to pieces. In the last days of his life, I did not have time to take good care of the people I loved so much. On our wedding day, Ayesha left me forever.
*****
Twice my happiness was ruined. My world is dark. And I was determined not to know love anymore. Until that time comes, love is present without me inviting. Even though I'm four-headed now.
Dina, it was he who had stolen my heart.
Actually, I don't know him, what he looks like, and anything about him.
But, ever since Vera told me Dina's ready, there's a gentle gurgle in my heart.
At first, Vera was just a fad telling all about her employees. To a man named Dina. Vera always told me about Dina. How patient and strong Dina in the face of her husband's behavior that I think is inappropriate in calling husband.
Until finally, I decided to go to Indonesia. Wanted to know what a man named Dina was like. Coincidentally at that time, I heard from Vera that Dina had given birth.
In Indonesia, I live with my Uncle and Aunt, Vera's father and mother. And I helped Vera at her boutique. Intentionally, because I was wondering what kind of person named Dina was.
But, Vera said Dina has not worked in her boutique anymore. And I didn't lose my mind either. I'm looking for everything about Dina. Until I found an account in efbi, Dina Larasati. I didn't put it on my friendship list. But I kept watching him.
I went back to Dubai, because my job is so much. Before leaving, I told Vera, if Dina comes back to work, you should call me right away. Vera agreed.
After eight months, Vera called me. He said Dina would be back at work. Soon I rolled into Indonesia, and all my work left to my brother, Kabir.
********
Dina is friendly, sociable and easy to get along with anyone. But, behind his cheerfulness, I saw a deep mourning.
I know, I was wrong. I love someone who has a husband. But this sense, wanting to always protect her. Almost every day, there were always tears in the corner of her eyes. But I pretended not to know what happened.
Sometimes, when there is free time, Dina accidentally confides in me. We didn't feel so close. And one day Dina said
"I want you to be my best friend and adoptive brother, Merwais."
****
Four years ago I went back and forth between Dubai and Indonesia. This meeting and feeling has been encouraging again in my life. There is a fear of losing it.
This spirit keeps giving me color. So that my work achievement is increasingly successful.
Abi who saw my spirit that had returned, was so happy.
Abused... She is the woman who has been encouraging me in my life. I also want to bring happiness to him. Even if he doesn't know, I love him very much. I am quite satisfied with my status as a friend and brother for him.
*******
At that time, I got word that Mamahnya Dina passed away. And not long after, Dina resigned from her Boutique Vera.
There is a sense of loss in this heart. After a month, I returned to Dubai. And Vera's Boutique was closed, because Vera had moved out of town.
There was no contact between me and Dina. And I also monitor it only through his sosmed account. I'm afraid I'm gonna destroy the household.
****
Three months have passed. I also ventured to contact him. Wish she was okay.
Apparently, the news I received was very surprising. She's pregnant again. There is disappointment, happiness and also pity.
I was disappointed because I wanted to have a child with him. I'm happy, because soon I'll have a new niece. And I pity her, because her husband will be better than ever.
I finally discovered my love for him. No message from him. Until finally a reply went to my green application. It was from her husband.
I also explained in detail who I was and my relationship with Dina. Hope Bagas understand and believe.
"Bagas, you should know that I don't actually have anything to do with Dina. Dina just thinks of me as her sister."
"And you should know, Dina loves you very much. You're so lucky to have it."
"I love him very much, but he doesn't love me one bit. He kept defending his household, even though you were so cruel to him."
"Please don't keep hurting him. Or let Him go to live happily with me."
"Once again I say, never hurt her again. Or you'll regret it for the rest of your life after losing it."
There was no reply from Dina's husband.
*****
A few days later, there was a notification from the inbox in the efbi. Someone wants to connect with me. She is Dina's sister, Isha.
I also immediately gave a reply. It was not long before Isha asked to call the number she gave. I contacted him immediately too.
I finally heard Dina's sweet voice. How much I miss him. What surprised me even more was that Dina accepted my proposal. And he wants me to take care of his divorce papers. I also.
Didn't feel like three months divorce lawsuit has not been filed yet. Maybe Dina was too happy with Galang without Bagas. Because he never went back to their contract.
I also asked his father Vera for help to find me a house.
A very beautiful house complete with furniture, is in an elite area that is very awake and safe.
I will give the house to Dina, so that they will no longer live in the rented house. I just want to keep Dina safe.
Not long after Dina reported that she would face her first divorce hearing. I also said I would go with him.
On the day of the trial, it turned out Bagas had not changed. He kept hurting Dina, and I decided I'd pay the lawyer to petrify Dina.
But, on the way home, things that you don't want to happen. The car I was driving ran over and hit a roadblock. I was afraid something bad happened to Dina. Turns out right, he's bleeding.
I'll drive the car to the hospital.
Dina must be in surgery. Because the baby d in the womb must be removed immediately. Although it is not yet time for Dina to give birth.
I asked for permission, wanting to continue accompanying Dina in the operating room. After the baby was born, I immediately called her. Then the baby was shown to Dina. There was a happy smile on Dina's face when she saw her tiny baby.
Tears flowed on these cheeks, when it was clear that smile was so sweet on Dina's lips with a face that was still so pale and eyes that were already tightly closed.
