Shopia

It all started with the marriage between Bilal and Mina. Bilal is a rich and generous man. He never forgets his obligations to himself and the assets he has. He also agreed to bear the burden of life for the poor who devoted themselves to their religion. However, the almost perfect marriage had no children since the beginning of their marriage. Mina was married 15 years ago but she never gave birth to a child for Bilal.

Day after day went by. It was time for Bilal to go abroad to take care of some of his business. Before her husband left, Mina revealed something that had been a burden on her mind all this time.

"Bilal," she called her husband gently.

The veiled girl looked simple even though she was full of wealth.

Bilal turned to his sweet wife.

"I've thought about this many times. No, even I've thought about it hundreds of times," Mina said again.

"What are you thinking?" asked Bilal rubbing his wife's head.

"I want you to married again—"

"I won't do it!" Bilal firmly cut the sentence.

Getting such a response, Mina closed her mouth tightly and didn't dare to make a sound. She refuses to start a debate.

After a moment of silence, Bilal took a breath and started it all with a cool head. "Why do you want me to do it?" asked Bilal.

"I want you to have offspring who can carry on all this," replied Mina.

"But it will hurt your heart. There will be other women that I will pay attention to besides you. There will be other women in this house besides you. You will no longer be the only one if I get married again," explained Bilal.

"Then divorce—"

"Not!" Bilal again cut his wife's sentence. "I will not divorce you. Even if you die," he continued.

"Okay, I will accept the heartache. Anything so that you have offspring," replied Mina with teary eyes.

Since then Bilal and Mina are looking for a woman who deserves to have children. Until he found the figure of Sophia. A prostitute trapped in her family's profession. Sophia tries to escape from a place of prostitution that is practiced by all her family members. She didn't want to do that again.

Sophia's family doesn't have any faith. They live by their own reason. They believe what they think. Not with Sophia who believes that God exists. The world was not created by accident. There must be a creator.

"God, maybe I was too disobedient to my parents because I hurt her. But I know that You are all-knowing of what happened to me. God, make it easy for me to believe in you," Sophia thought as she continued to run from the forbidden place.

On the run Sophia from her family. She met Bilal in an unexpected place with inappropriate clothes for a woman.

Bilal who was on his way home from a place in his car, accidentally hit the scared girl. Sophia is injured and Bilal takes her to a nearby hospital. As a husband who respects his wife, Bilal informed Mina via cellphone while waiting in the emergency room.

Mina also came to the hospital to meet her husband because she was worried about Sophia's condition. Bilal did not dare to approach Sophia in his cubicle because he was afraid of hurting his wife's heart.

Mina and Bilal stood behind the green curtains and heard Sophia's cries. It was clear that the girl was trying to hold back her tears. Mina felt sorry for hearing this. Maybe she was in a lot of pain, she thought.

In fact not. Sophia wept over her struggle to have faith in God. There was just something that made him almost give up. It was as if God didn't love her. It was as if she had been deceived by her own mind. She believes that God exists. But God didn't hear her prayers, Sophia thought.

She had been praying that God would make it easy for him in his faith, but instead she was run over by someone on the street.

"God, if this is the best for me. Whatever it is I will go through on your behalf. But, give me a hope for me to continue this all. Or give me a clue for me to stop this all." Sophia's mind kept saying it.

"Does it still hurt?" Mina asked as she ventured into the booth.

Sophia immediately wiped away the tears and tried to cover her exposed body. Mina pulled the blanket and covered the girl's body.

"I'm sorry for my husband. We will take care of all the hospital fees and take you home," Mina said again.

"I don't want to go home," Sophia replied with tears in her eyes.

"Why?" Mina asked.

Sophia told her everything that had happened. The hijab that Mina uses is a sign that Mina is a Muslim. Maybe Mina will understand why she did all this.

Mina was surprised by some of the things that Sophia said. The woman also burst into tears at the thought of Sophia's struggle. Maybe the faith she has is not as strong as the prostitute in front of her.

Mina hugged Sophia while rubbing the girl's shoulder to calm her down. "I am your sister. If you want to take the shahada and embrace Islam, my husband can convert you to Islam," said Mina.

Hearing those words, Sophia's tears streamed down her face even more. She has left everything to the creator, and this is the reward. God never ignores the prayers of His servants. This path is really made easier even though there must be an accident and break Sophia's leg.

After the incident, Sophia was taken to a luxurious house owned by Bilal with his wife. In the prayer room of the house, Sophia said the shahada and promised to be an obedient servant to the creator.

Gradually Sophia's presence became a blessing in the house. Mina and Bilal agreed to make Sophia a second wife. After hearing the reason from Mina, Sophia agreed. After all, Bilal does not lack wealth to be fair to his wife. Bilal is also able to pay attention to his wife as fairly as possible.

After 3 months of the second marriage, it was discovered that Sophia was pregnant. This is where another ordeal begins.

Sophia, who is pregnant, often feels pain all over her body, especially in her waist and spine. Sophia, who is sickly, requires Bilal to take care of her and take care of her child, which Sophia is carrying.

Sophia, who sometimes has trouble sleeping due to her uncomfortable stomach, also takes up more of Bilal's time to accompany him to sleep. While Mina never felt it all.

Mina started to get jealous like a woman. She is not an angel who has no lust for anything. She also wanted to be treated like that by her husband. She also wanted to be noticed more than Sophia. She wanted to be treated special like Sophia.

Mina started pining jealousy on the honey.

"Maybe you forgot why you were married. I will wait until my husband's child is born from a prostitute like you," Mina said behind her bedroom door.
