Hijrah Love Mafia
Chapter 24
Askara hugged Asiyah tightly. They soon let go of each other's embrace.
“You forgive me?” Ask Ask Askara. Asiyah nodded as well.
“Alhamdulillah.” Say Mom and Dad at the same time. They smiled to see the son and daughter-in-law who now get along.
“Ica, there's one thing I want to tell you. It's related to who I really am.”
“What do you want me to tell Ica? insyaAllah Ica ready to listen Mas.” Answer Asiyah.
“Before, I apologize for being dishonest and frank with you. But now I realize, as a couple I have to be open to you. Ica, honestly, I'm a mafia.” Askara said with a frozen face. He could not see his wife's face directly.
“What? What did you just say?” Asiyah seemed to be in disbelief at what she just heard.
“Yes, I'm a mafia. But now it's not. Right now, I'm the one who's hunting them. My life is under threat. They'll hunt me down until they get caught. I made a mistake with them and they couldn't forgive me. Now I have to keep hiding from them. Would you be with me if you knew my true condition?” askara.
“...” Asiyah Shock's. He could not believe what he had just heard. He returned to shed tears.
“Why mas?” Said Asiyah in despair.
“I was forced into the mafia world. I need to replace my brother. Otherwise my brother will be wiped out by them. I can't run from it either, my brother Dewangga has donated half his kidney to me. I might not help him. It's been a debt of my entire life to him.” Askara.
“And Mom and Dad knew this before?” Asiyah asked Mamah and Dad.
“Of course, son, of course we know. We purposely kept all this from you. The plan, we will free Askara from the mafia world in a good way. But unexpectedly, everything became chaotic like this. It is not our intention to deceive you or Mr. Sharif during an arranged marriage. We were only afraid that you would reject Askara rawly.” Obviously Father.
“Yes son, please forgive us for our mistake of having hidden all this from you. Now, our decision is to leave it to you. Askara is also ready with all the decisions you will make. Are you going to continue this marriage or end it.” Mom spoke up.
“I'm willing with all your decisions.” Askara.
“...” Asiyah pensively for a while. In his heart, he continued to say the words istighfar and dhikr. He was really shocked mixed confused with the current state of affairs.
“Give Ica time to consider it first.” Only those words came out of Asiyah's mouth.
“Sure. You can consider it as long as you want. I'll wait.” Answer Askara.
“Think and consider wisely yes son.” Mamah.
“Good, then I'll leave you now. If you want to see me, I'm in my ward.” Askara.
“...” Asiyah just nodded.
They also left the mosque alone. Asiyah cried again, for a long time she kept silent in the mosque. The next day Asiyah went around the basement thinking about her decision regarding her marriage. On the road, Asiyah met the Dewangga.
“Hey.” Sapa Dewangga's. Asiyah did not budge, she continued walking.
“Woy.” The young man approached Asiyah and stood directly in front of her face.
“You are why? Walking while daydreaming. What if you fall or get hit with someone.” Dewangga scolded Asiyah.
“You must be thinking about Askara. Hah, you bothered to think about that kid.” Dehwangga.
“No.” Asiyah.
“Halah, don't lie. You're not good at lying. Instead of you daydreaming indistinctly, you better come with me. I'll show you the best spot from this basement.” Bring Dewangga.
“No, I can't. We can't be alone because it's not mahram. Later even arise slander or something like that.” Aisha refused the invitation of the Deity.
“Iya bring, I also know. After all we are not alone, me and the developer team from this room will go into room 43. So we won't be alone there because there are so many people.
“What team? What space?” Asiyah was confused by the words of Dewangga.
“Team developer, room number 43. Well, they're behind you.” The goddess pointed behind Asiyah's body.
Asiyah then turned around. Apparently true, behind him was a group of people wearing white lab coats. The men then smiled at Asiyah.
“You've seen it.” He said to a group of people. The group of people then nodded.
“They want to meet you. Ever since you and Askara came here, everyone here has been curious. Yes, let's go there.” Dehwangga.
They then headed for the room. The room went back underground. They took the elevator to get there. When he arrived at the room, many people were busy with his research. And one of the most interesting things about the room was the view around it. Perhaps you could say only this room has glass. And beyond it there is a beautiful crystal landscape illuminated with a spotlight of lights.
“MashaAllah.” Asiyah said in awe at the sight in the room.
“This is a research place. The main center of this building.in the past, grandfather built this place just for his coal mine research. But, when grandfather was too ambitious and dredged the ground deeper, the landslide. It turned out that grandfather was digging right above the vast crystal cave. From there grandfather developed the world of his business to generations until we now.” Dewangga.
“This place, beautiful once.” Only admiration kept coming out of Asiyah's mouth. She was enchanted by the beauty of this place.
“Yes, and most amazingly all of this belongs to our family. This place is privately owned including the land on it. Grandfather had already bought land in this forest long before this crystal mine was discovered. Didn't know if he'd find a place this amazing.” Dewangga.
“So unless you and everyone in this room have no money knowing the existence of this place?” Ask Asiyah.
“No. This place is also a place of escape and protection for us if something bad happens to us. Including now, when Askara is being chased by the damn mafia. For a while, you guys are safe to be here.” Dewangga.
“But it feels, there's no way we'll continue to be here for good.” Answer Asiyah.
“Ya. by the way, how did you decide? You gonna stay with him or leave him? If you don't want to be with him, I'll be ready to accept you with all my heart.” Said the Dewangga frankly.
“What are you talking about, even though I can't be with Mas, I won't be looking for another man anymore. Mas is the first and last.” Asiyah.
“Ya mouth can only say. By the way, I just wanted to say, Askara, he was a jerk from birth. Since childhood, he only stayed in rashh and did not go anywhere. His playmate was just a book, from which we knew his strange abnormality. Although he was a boy my parents said was smart and obedient but he was sick since childhood. Kidney failure, making him have to wash the blood continuously. I was wayward at that time, and constantly compared to him felt hot.”
“I also want to look cool in the eyes of both my parents, so I foolishly decided to donate my kidney to Askara after we graduated High School. It made her feel indebted to me. Finally, when I was at the lowest point in my life, being chased by the mafia, Askara foolishly took my place. You see right ? he was stupid. Again, when I ran away from an arranged marriage with you, Askara was also willing to obey my parents' orders to replace me. He’s so stupid!” Clearly Dehangga with an annoyed tone.
Hearing that, Asiyah immediately cried.
