It’s predictable! The way to approach a widow with children is to approach her child. Then, after the mother’s heart was obtained and at the same time, if it had been owned, the child was forgotten. According to the facts and research — but, there is 1% than 100% population of men are have a pure love intentionally.

Good behavior when there is a wish, after the wish is achieved. His good behavior faded and even changed back to his original attitude. All just a fake good behavior.

"Ah, old story!"

"Ah, manipulators!"

grumbled a woman has brown skin, she is a cute category. She is Marwa, a widow with one child who was forced to become a widow because her marriage was forced. Her child is beautiful and adorable, named Aisyah, 7 years old.

"What’s wrong with you?" Asked Rahma, who is Marwa’s aunt. She came over and immediately looked at Marwa’s sullen face.

"It’s annoying! This is the fate of being a widow! They think they’re lonely and need a companion! That’s wrong, I’ve never wanted to get married in the first place but circumstances made me accept this ignorant man’s proposal!" Marwa said full of anger while holding back her anger by clenching her fists.

Rahma frowned, she didn’t understand why Marwa was so angry.

A week before.

Marwa went to a project provider’s office for a meeting. She is a graphic design freelancer and always takes her daughter with her whenever she goes to any office, and she enjoys always being with her daughter. Yes, let’s say that while introducing the world of offices while traveling at the same time.

Marwa went to this office for the second time. The first time without bringing Aisyah, because it was sudden.

"Wow Marwa, this is your daughter?" Adnan asked while stroking Aisyah’s head.

Marwa, who no longer liked Adnan's behavior, just nodded.

Then Adnan immediately invited Aisyah to buy food to the minimarket using his motorbike.

Marwa only glanced at Aisyah and Adnan’s departure in passing. Marwa was calm, because she knew that her daughter was very clever and know how to deal with.

"Wow, they’ve just met, but seems being so close..." Melinda said teasingly.

Marwa answered curtly, "It's natural, if you take a small child to the minimarket, they will definitely want to!"

Melisa just smiled faintly, she knew that her teamwork didn't like Adnan.

"Be careful, don't hate it too much, you'll like it later!" Melisa added, getting more and more excited about teasing.

"God forbid if I like him, Adnan’s character is less than praiseworthy, he’s someone who wants recognition. He always wants to be praised, and suck, his words are sky high! Even though the evidence is kind of rubbish!" Marwa said at length with an angry expression on her face.

"Yes Marwa, I'm just kidding – besides, we also know who he is. Well, he can call you for hours. And, he forgot that his wife is sick in the village!" Melisa said, convincing Marwa that her previous statement was just a joke.

"Ever since he asked for an unregistered marriage (Siri nikah), I’m fed up! I don’t know myself! Men really can’t stand without riding a woman! For us, we don’t need men, especially trashy men like him!" Marwa became even more furious.

Suddenly, Farhan joined in, "If he was very rich, would you like him or not, Marwa?"

"Even if he is rich, I don't want a man like him!" Marwa answered curtly as she quickly opened her laptop and immediately sat down.

Melisa and Farhan followed, then the three of them focused on their work.

•••
Adnan's POV.

The woman can be approached using money. I have to be close to Aisyah, so that Marwa’s heart will open a little to me. I also have to communicate with her as often as possible. Moreover, I have to get to know her family.

"Aisyah, later Uncle will buy you your favorite biscuit again, okay." Adnan spoke softly, he was winning Aisyah’s heart.

Aisyah just nodded slowly.

Adnan immediately entered the work room and immediately joined Marwa, Melisa and Farhan.

After the work was finished, Adnan spoke, his conversation was directed at Marwa, "Aisyah is a child who brings blessings, I went with her once I got a new project."

Marwa immediately replied, "Yes, later if you’re hanging out with Aisyah, and you happen to get bad luck. Later, the assumptions will be the same. Then Aisyah will be thought to be an unlucky child!! - old trick,Sir!!"

Farhan also spoke, "Everything that happens is because of Allah’s will, Mr. Adnan. Humans should not be used as benchmarks for bringing blessings or vice versa. If you are interested in Ms. Marwa, don’t glorify her child with such an excuse."

Adnan just groaned without saying a word in reply.

Adnan's POV.

Yes, I once asked Marwa to marry in an unregistered marriage (Siri Marriage), even though I have a wife in the village. My wife in the village is a woman full of limitations. She couldn’t walk and was often sick.

Yes, I am not a rich person, especially since my religious education is very minimal. However, I still need a woman to accompany me here. Ah, I really don't know myself, but I hope Marwa likes me.

Few minutes later

“Marwa, you must stay here to complete the remaining project!” Adnan said while his eyes looking at Marwa face.

Marwa grumbled when he was told she had to stay in the office and stay for a few days.

"Why is your face so wrinkled?" Adnan asked with his eyes looking at Marwa's face.

"See, look at Aisyah! She's so happy playing games as much as she wants." Adnan added while grinning.

This made Marwa furious as she spoke quietly, 'I swear, if not about a job here. I don’t want to see your face!'

Marwa turned to Aisyah, then spoke rather firmly, "Don’t forget your homework, don’t be lulled by snacks and free WiFi!"

At that moment, Adnan felt a hard blow piercing his feelings. He's hurt. However, he suppressed it because he realized that he was acting like a single man.

Marwa's POV.

That’s right, I’am a widow. However, me is not a widow like most people. Even if my life is not in the category of a holy man, nor is I someone who is very rich. Even if I a widow, I’m very comfortable, happy, and peace living independently. Moreover, I no longer interested in romantic love. In my brain, that man was just a virus and a dream destroyer. And, I also knows exactly the man who approaches me because he knows that me is an independent woman. He also thinks that he doesn’t need complete financial support like housewives in general. Because according to other men, he just needs someone to talk to to break my silence.

Wrong!

Even though it's a big mistake!

Marwa doesn't need a man to talk to or a friend when she's quiet. Marwa doesn't need that, Marwa's life is productive and never idle. Proving that she is a woman who needs silence, therefore silence is a medicine to relieve her fatigue.

Also, Marwa does not want to get financial support from anyone. He wants to be financially independent, and her dream is to help people in need. Once again, she didn’t want help at all.

Meanwhile, Adnan is increasingly carrying out his actions through Aisyah. Anyway, what did Aisyah want to buy?

One morning.

Adnan sent a message to Marwa. (Do you want to come with me to the market?)

Marwa grinned sarcastically when she read the message. And, he immediately answered briefly, (lazy!)

Marwa is indeed intentional about her laziness. Yes, because she was lazy about Adnan.

Melisa, who was already fluent in Marwa's annoyed attitude, asked, "Adnan again?"

"Yes, he want take me to the market!" Marwa’s answer was short and curt.

Melisa just grinned.

Then, Marwa spoke in a slight whisper, "I have to make Adnan dislike me and stay away from me forever!!"

Melisa answered spontaneously and quickly, "How?"

Marwa smiled for a moment before she answered Melisa's question. "I'll squeeze and humiliate his pride!" Marwa answered sarcastically.

Melisa laughed and said, "I agree! Let him know himself!"

Marwa’s work was finally finished. She was very happy, it could be seen from the smile on her face.

Likewise with Aisyah. She immediately put all the cakes that Adnan had bought into her bag.

Seeing that, Marwa laughed broadly.

"Well, that’s plan not going to happen..." said Melisa, raising her eyebrows and glancing at Adnan with the tail of her eyes.

Melissa laughed a little. Even though her heart was saying, 'The plan will be carried out by chat and by call!'

Marwa finally said goodbye to Farhan, Melisa and just nodded slowly at Adnan. Without seeing his face.

Adnan immediately approached Aisyah and gave her one hundred thousand rupiah.

Melisa glanced at Marwa while grinning crookedly. And Marwa responded the same.

After traveling for 2 hours, Marwa and Aisyah were in front of their home yard.

Marwa’s hand was about to open the door of the house, when suddenly her cellphone rang. "That must be a very caring person!" said Marwa in a slightly annoyed tone as she pushed open the door of the house.

[Are you home, Marwa?]

"See!" Marwa said curtly.

Aisyah's tiny lips pursed, "Mama doesn't need to serve the old man! He has children and a wife!"

Marwa insisted when she heard her daughter's words, "Who is serving? He is the one who is being coquettish!"

"I dont like him, Mam. His aura is negative!" Said Aisyah who already understood aura. Surely she knows from YouTube 🤭

Marwa had put Aisyah to sleep and covered her.

Then she went to the kitchen carrying a laptop and an agenda book in which various meeting schedules and work deadlines were written.

Marwa placed her laptop and an agenda book on the multi-function dining table. Then, she made her favorite milk coffee.

For a moment, Marwa walked towards the window, her eyes looking far away at the twinkling stars. Her sensual lips smiled happily, yes, thoughts and smiles are very connected in sync.

But her smile suddenly faded as soon as her cellphone rang.

Marwa, who was already excited, immediately picked up Adnan's phone. And, now Marwa launched her action.

[Yes, Mr Adnan...]

[Marwa, what are you doing?] Yes, it was Adnan who called her.

Marwa was silent for a moment, because she was grumbling. Grumbling because Adnan's question was very boring, especially annoying.

[Daydreaming, sir!]

Adnan laughed at such an answer.

Marwa was fed up with hearing Adnan's laughter and immediately spoke.

[I need emergency funds, I need two or three million. Can you help or not?]

Adnan was silent for a moment. He was thinking about where he could get the money, which he thought was quite a lot. The reason is, he sends it to his wife and children every month with a nominal value of 2 million rupiah. And, for him it was a lot.

[Don’t have one, sir?] Asked Marwa in sharp tone.

Adnan answered spontaneously.

[You're late, why are you so impromptu?]

[But, wait, I only have it for 500k]

[Ok, that's okay, thank you sir ❤️]

Adnan was surprised to get the ❤️ emoticon from Marwa. Instantly his heart blossomed.

Meanwhile Marwa smiled wryly.

And, Adnan still continues to talk about random topics. Marwa’s cellphone was simply thrown away, without paying attention to Adnan’s words.

A week passed.

Adnan still hopes that Marwa will like him.

Adnan began to remember what he had said about asking for marriage.

[Marwa, how do you want to be my wife? Let's just have an unregistered marriage!]

Marwa, who was focused on her work, glanced at the device that was clanging.

"Adnan, I don’t know!" Marwa said while taking her phone. She immediately called Adnan.

Not waiting a second, Adnan rushed to receive a call from Marwa.

'Yes Marwa...' said Adnan slowly.

'You're asking for an unregistered marriage, right?' Marwa asked in a serious tone. Ah, Marwa is really good at acting.

'Yes Marwa, so we won't be lonely...' Adnan answered confidently.

Marwa spoke loudly, 'Sir, I need money, 3 million. Do you want to help or not?'

Adnan was silent for a moment, muttering, "She’s been asking for money again and again!"

Marwa, who has strong telepathy, spoke again, 'You definitely don't have one, right?'

Adnan answered,” yes, I’ll transfer later!”

Marwa was stunned!

A month later.

Adnan and Marwa were reunited at the office where they worked.

Adnan approached Marwa. Suddenly Marwa glanced at him.

"We need to talk!" Adnan said seriously.

Marwa answered briefly, "About what?"

"About our wedding!" Adnan answered in a firm tone.

Marwa got up from her seat, she immediately spoke firmly, "A siri marriage? So that you won’t be lonely? If you don’t want to be lonely, bring your wife and your children here! Don’t even ask to marry a woman you think is easy to marry!"

"Then what does the 'love' emoticon mean?" Adnan asked while swallowing his saliva.

"To let you ti taking everything too personally!" Marwa answered as she was about to take a step.

Adnan suddenly snapped, "The money I transferred to you? The food I bought for your daughter?"

Marwa laughed a little. Then saw her hand on her chest. Her gaze was directed at the corneas of Adnan’s eyes.

"Did you know? I knew from the beginning your trick of approaching me by approaching Aisyah and buying her food, taking her for a walk. Those are all old methods!" said Marwa.

"Do you want to bring up the money and food you gave?" Marwa added in a challenging tone.

Adnan said, "Heh Marwa, you're old and not beautiful either! Don't be stupid! I can get more women than you!"

Marwa, who no longer wanted to put on an act anymore, still replied, "You're almost about to die! My advice is, rather than adding to the burden on the economy, it's better to take care of your young child!"

Adnan replied, "That's none of your business!"

Immediately Marwa raised her middle finger. And, left Adnan who was miserable.

The end.

Conclusion:
Before you purpose someone to marry. Check that someone character–not every widow is very greedy of men. Some are really happy to be a widow/single mom.

Please don't be fucking a man who just wants to marry many women's but don't have religious knowledge as well as stable income. Remember, you marry a woman not just for shit lust or switching mood form.
