Asiah sends a message to Rayyan, but her number is off. He tried calling the landline, nobody picked up the call. This made Asiah feel anxious. His heart and mind began to calm down. The shadow that Rayyan would not care about herself anymore now flashed through her mind.
"First Aa, I really don't care about me anymore" murmured Asiah was still trying to contact Rayyan.
"How's it?" ask Sulaiman.
"No reply" answered Asiah.
"Yes, already. Tomorrow I'll take you home and talk directly to Raya. I'll tell you that I forced you to come here" Sulaiman said.
"Don't. You don't have to lie. You will understand, though. As long as I go home okay," Asiah said.
"Yes, because he loves you so much. So, fear if anything happens to you. But, if Raya scolds you, just tell me, okay?" Sulaiman smiled mischievously.
"Ish, you don't know how angry Raya is," Asiah replied by narrowing her eyes.
"Yes, her family is all terrible" Sulaiman said with a small laugh and followed by Asiah.
"Well, let's join up with friends. They were burning corn and barbeques" Sulaiman said as he pulled Asiah's hand towards the side yard.

Rain and the others have now reached Kiai Samsul's house. Their arrival was greeted with joy by the family of Kiai Samsul and some Tahfiz children who had known Rain and Rania.
After that they entered into a large and empty space. There's only carpet there. The six young men and women sat down and faced Kiai Samsul and Umm Habibah.
"Alhamdulillah, you can finally set foot here as well" said Kiai Samsul.
"Where's raya? Why isn't he coming?" ask Umm Habibah consecutively.
"Raya cannot come because there is a need with his wife, Umm" replied Raihan.
"Raya's married?" kiai Samsul asked in surprise.
"Yes, Kiai. Not only is Raya married we are also married," Raihan said as he pointed to her and Rain.
"What does it mean Rain is married?" kiai Samsul asked in shock. His face changed quickly. The friendly smile that had always been etched on his aged face, suddenly disappeared.
"Yes, Kiai. I'm sorry I'm late to tell you this," Rain replied carefully.
"Wait for Rain, instead of saying you're gonna talk about Amira!" pekik Umm Habibah's.
Amira was also very surprised when she heard Rain's words just now. His heart ached strongly, until his chest felt tight. His eyes also looked glassy. He chose to lower his head quickly fearing that his tears would come out quickly without having a chance to prevent him.
"Sorry, Umm. It happened so fast back then," Rain replied. Then he also told the incident that happened to him when he came home from there first.
"Then, now are you going to do polygamy?" ask Kiai Samsul.
As if struck by lightning, Rania immediately raised her head which had been lowered since. This is the least desired by him. Then, he turned his eyesight towards Rain. She wanted to know the answer her husband would give her.
"No, Kiai. I'm sorry, I never had any intention of polygamy" Rain replied sternly and earnestly.
"Then, what about Amira? He has been waiting for you all this time" said Umm Habibah.
"really. You've hurt her heart. Destroying his hopes and waiting" continued Kiai Samsul.
"I'm sorry, we don't know the destiny God has given to all of his creatures. We can only plan and God determines. And my soul mate's destiny is Rania. Really, it never crossed my heart or mind that I would marry my own cousin" Rain explained.
"It is not that a man can have more than one wife. If you really keep your promise, then marry Amira!" kiai Samsul.
Rain, Raihan, Mega, Rania, Alin, Chelsea, and Amira were very surprised to hear Kiai Samsul's words just now. Rania already wanted to talk, but she paused when she saw her sister gesturing for silence.
"Sorry Kiai Samsul, I think it's not right if my words used to be called promises. I never made a promise. I said God willing at that time. If fate brings us together, I want to marry Amira. However, in fact the destiny that God gave me was Rania" Rain replied.
There was a sense of pleasure and calm from Rania's heart at this moment. Her husband held onto her words that she did not want to polygamy.
"Then what does it mean that you also gave a book to Amira about the rights and obligations of a wife" said Umm Habibah.
"I think it's a really good book for women to read. Unmarried or newly married. A lot of knowledge and wisdom can be taken from there" Rain replied.
"You've played with the feelings of a good woman. Allah will certainly repay you, Rain," Umm Habibah said.
"Truly Umm, all our actions will be good or bad will surely get a reward from God. Therefore, I would like to apologize once again to Kiai Samsul, Umm Habibah, and especially to Kak Amira. May God give you the best soul mate for you. Not just a soul mate in the world, but a soul mate to the afterlife" concluded Rain while looking at them one by one.
Rain's heart was very sick since he saw the black-veiled girl. He also hoped that the girl would find happiness later. Every single word he had come out of his mouth felt like a chest to the heart.
Rain had been preparing for this day. The day that he will inflict wounds on those he loves and loves. Of love? Sometimes he himself is confused about that feeling? If the meaning of love is like, it will certainly fall to Amira. However, if the meaning of love wants to have and is not willing to lose from his side. Rania is the answer.
Rain knew a long time ago that he did not like being ignored by Rania. Being shunned by the girl made him feel lost. And recently in the corner of his heart as well if he felt comfortable while living together with Rania. She enjoys living with a girl who likes to sing and eat these snacks.
Amira's tears fell dripping down her veil. Rain saw that and his heart felt sad. He also cursed himself for making a good woman cry for him.
If there had never been anything that night. She will not marry Rania and will definitely marry Amira as planned.
"Sir Amira, will you forgive me?" asked Rain in a pleading tone.

What answer will Amira give? How are Amira and Rania feeling right now? What is Rayyan doing? Wait for the continuation yes!
