Honeymoon ( 9 )

"Don't be so tense about the first night. Just relax, Dil. If it's the first time, it really hurts. But after some time, it'll feel so good," Ria chirped while teasing Dila.

  "Ria," Naura said emphatically.

"It's okay to advise Dila so that she won't be surprised later," Ria said.

  Ria was typically insensitive to other people's feelings. She already knew that Dila was married to Bara because of an arranged marriage and didn't love Bara but Ria still teased her.

  Dila's heart was still hurt and can't accept Bara as her husband. Dila can't move on from Fatih's figure. Dila's love for Fatih was like a nail. Even though it was often cut, it will still grow. Her love will continue to blossom.

It was not easy for a Fadila Elvarette to erase Fatih's name from her heart, even though she knew it was a sin to love a man who was not her husband.

"Let's go downstairs," Naura said, while pulling Ria's hand.

  Ria was a little annoyed with Naura for forcing her to leave Dila's room.

  "Naura, it hurts," Ria shouted hysterically.

"If I don't pull you, you won't stop being nosy. You should be a little sensitive," Naura advised Ria. Naura's age was older than Ria's.

  "What do you mean? I'm not that sensitive?" Ria said emotionally.

  "Yes, you are not sensitive. If you are sensitive you will not tease Dila like that. You know for sure Dila married Bara because she was forced."

"Our sister-in-law is stupid. Just want to accept this matchmaking even though she doesn't love Bara. She's acting hard to get, that's why she got married after a long time," Ria said, she discussed Dila's badness.

Ria had a grudge against Dila because Dila had rejected her cousin outright so that her cousin was a little frustrated that he can't get Dila.

  "Take care of your tongue. Yes. Your tongue is boneless but its words are very strong to hurt others. You have blasphemed too much for Dila. She's your sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is the same as our sister. You have the heart to blaspheme our own sister."  Naura reminded Ria.

"That's for you. For me sister-in-law is still sister-in-law," Ria said insistently.

"It's difficult to talk to you. You can't be advised."

  "You're only an old wife. The only one who has the right to advise me is Iqbal. Don't be proud of your status as the first wife, no matter what my position is, it's stronger than yours. I already have two children while you still have one."

  "How come you are discussing this?"  Naura said angrily.

  Ria was always looking for trouble with her. In front of their in-laws and Iqbal, they seemed to get along but actually, they often fought and Ria always triggered their fights.

  "Don't ever be proud to be a thorn in other people's relationships. Yes. You think I don't know if you already know that Iqbal and I are already in a relationship. You were there when Iqbal and I underwent LDR. But you pretended not to know if Iqbal already had a lover.  All this time I have been patient with you but you have crossed the line. Of course, you are not sensitive because your conscience is gone. I know you married Iqbal because he's rich. You want your family to live well and not be poor anymore. You think I don't know. All this time.  I am quiet because of my devotion to my husband and my love for Iqbal. I don't want Iqbal to go crazy for losing me. I also don't want Iqbal to go crazy for losing you. I lowered my ego for my love for Iqbal," Naura said, stabbed Ria's heart.

Ria's face turned pale because all this time Naura knew all of her secrets.
