Pursuing My Husband's First Love
Go away

Mariam's heart? Of course it hurts.

He wanted Moses' family to go far from his life, but they took Octavia with them, his little heart screaming.

"Wait ... What is this?" mas Faisal asked no matter Mariam who tried to hold him back.

"Look at me" said Bu Aini trying to explain.

"When the mother proposed to Mba Mariam the mother had promised Bu Sri that she would protect and take responsibility for Mba Mariam's life and Octavia's education. Although Mba Mariam has separated from Mizan, but my promise to Okta is still a promise that I must keep," said Ms. Aini.

Mas Faisal fell silent and snorted, trying to digest Bu Aini's promise.

"Mother just wants to help Mba Mariam keep Oktavia, let alone her pregnancy this time is quite draining mind, not to mention the business of Mba Mariam who is doing well, so that Mba Mariam calm mother will take care of Okta," said Ms. Aini again.

"But now there's me, Mom. So it seems that it is not necessary," declined Mas Faisal.

The look on Bu Aini's face turned disappointed.

"The shop has started to stabilize, Mariam can rest at home and take care of Okta like before."

All speechless, the reason for bringing Okta was indeed gone. Mariam also no longer need to hide her pregnancy from anyone. Yesterday Mariam allowed Ms. Aini to bring Octavia so that her lie would not be exposed, it would be difficult to hide her stomach. But now it is not necessary.

"I appreciate my mother's goodwill to be responsible, but it seems hard for my sister to part from her child. I think the agreement we forget, Mariam is not alone anymore, I as her brother will take care of her," said Mas Faisal, she will not let Mariam become entangled in debt after escaping the marriage trap.

Bu Aini bowed sadly, Medina held onto her mother-in-law's shoulder to give her strength.

"Again the mother will soon get her own mother's granddaughter" continued Mas Faisal.

"But, Mas. Mother has intended to finance all education Okta, separated or not Mba Mariam with my son, Okta already I consider my own grandson," said Bu Aini memelas.

"I appreciate my mother's sincere intentions, and I'm very grateful. But, we also do not want to owe too much, although mother will not consider it a debt. I think Mariam will be able to educate her son, I will watch over her myself." Mas Faisal still refused and did not want any more help, if he was there when Mariam applied first, maybe the marriage did not need to happen.

"Yes, we accept Mas Faisal's decision." Moses immediately spoke up, no longer wanting to see his mother blaspheme at Mas Faisal.

"Good, I should have forced my son in Cairo to bring home his granddaughter instead of Octavia" said Mas Faisal.

"Already, Mas. If it is not possible, yes we understand, there is no need to bring Mas Aaron," said Moses did not like.

"Okay, sorry," said Mas Faisal, leaning his body onto the sofa to enjoy his victory.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," said Mariam.

"No papa, Mba. I understand."

The atmosphere was quite awkward, fortunately Octavia could melt the situation back with her chatter.

Many times I tried to glance at the look on Mba Mariam's face, but I was stupid still did not know what was in her heart. I tried to guess her heart and feelings after what she did, hiding the pregnancy in a difficult condition was definitely not an easy matter.

I pity. But, I was clearly forbidden to pity. Even just to want to know some things, Moses reminded me and told me to stop.

I realized, what Mba Mariam is doing is sacrifice. He wanted Mas Musa to be happy only with me, he withdrew, from the love triangle that made him sick. I know you're hiding your heartache, Mba! Your heart was broken to pieces when you decided to leave. Until when our husband pledged talak you are so happy that you have to cover the fetus in your womb, our husband's child. Just for the sake of liberation from the heart-stifling love triangle.

You should just share it with me, Mba. But .. said Mas Musa you cannot. As with me, many say, why don't I just leave Mas Musa from the beginning? The man who clearly still loves another woman so deeply.

Answer, no. Wh why? Because I am not capable.

I can only share, although it is difficult at least Mas Musa is still by my side. I remember, where I used to see Mba Mariam was so devastated when her husband died, Mba Mariam's tears and sadness at that time always haunted me like a nightmare, honestly if Mas Musa had to leave, the truth is that Mas Musa had to leave, I'll be more than broken. That was the turning point of my feelings and my resolve was rounded to divide my husband with Mba Mariam, because I would not be able to lose. I had even prepared myself for the worst possible eventuality, had Mas Musa been more inclined towards Mba Mariam.

But in fact, Mba Mariam's love for my husband is also still great. The husband I shared with him in the name of love.

Different me. Mba Mariam was unable to share but she was able to go and release Mas Musa. Things I couldn't do.

I held the hand of Moses sitting beside me. A man named Mas Faisal took Okta who had been struggling with Mas Musa, a man who seemed to have his own story with my husband's family.

"But Okta still wants to be with Abi," whined Okta when Mas Faisal forced her.

"It's tired, Ta. The same om used to play," woo the man.

Mas Musa seemed disappointed, so did my mother-in-law who finally had to be sincere because Mas Faisal forbade him to bring Octavia.

We also left Mba Mariam's house, after a blue hug from my mother-in-law to Mba Mariam.

Of Moses? He was so self-limiting as to interact with Mba Mariam. I know Mas Musa loved the child in the womb of his ex-wife, but because of some things he had to hold it, maybe Mas Musa also took care of my feelings, thank you.

If this separation does not have to be colored by the presence of a little angel in the womb of Mba Mariam, it must be easy. But, who am I? Alloh more Supreme Everything, all this must be the best.

"Mba .. Thank you for all the sacrifices of Mba Mariam" I said as I said goodbye.

"I didn't do it for you, Din. But to myself," he answered.

"Medina knows, but .. still Medina can finally have Mas Musa completely because Mba Mariam, do not be selfish yes, Mba, enough Mba Mariam sacrificed, not this child," I said again.

"You mean?"

"Medina was sure that one day Mba Mariam's heart wound would heal." My sobs and sobs can no longer be held back.

"One day Mba Mariam can certainly live a happy and calm life as ever, no matter the presence or absence of Medina and Mas Musa around Mba Mariam. I'm sure, once Mba Mariam's heart is healed, we can come back in the name of the family."

"We're leaving town, Mba. At the request of Mba Mariam, treat your heart, Mba, so that someday this child still knows who his father is."

I wiped my tears, although Mba Mariam did not budge but I was sure the door of her heart had been knocked.

"Take care of yourself, Mba. Take care of your son, too."

I turned around and set my feet toward Mas Musa who was waiting for me. Moses stretched out his hands, my steps were shaken because not only was my heart tired, my physique was also tired considering my growing pregnancy.

"Thank you, Din. You ... also, take good care of yourself," said Mba Mariam when my step count was third.

I looked at him, and nodded with a smile. Goodbye Mba Mariam.

I continued my steps and grabbed Mas Musa's hand, ah. .. I was spoiled, my body was blown away instantly as our hands touched. Moses smote me with a smile, his heart was broken, not because of Mba Mariam, but because of the child in his womb.

Looping my hands around her waist, we hugged each other towards the car parked in front.

"Let's go home, Dek."
