Tetapi berkorban untuk berkongsi kasih dengan bekas suami Isma menjerat batinnya… menyesakkan nafasnya. Dia tidak sanggup, malah jauh sekali bercinta dengan lelaki itu sedangkan dia sudah punya pilihan hati. Isma merayu dan terus merayu agar Hartini menerima bekas suaminya, Syed Imran setelah dia diceraikan dengan talak tiga. Dia akui silap dan sikapnya yang cemburu buta mengakibatkan suaminya terlepas melafazkan kalimah itu, sedangkan mereka bagaikan pasangan merpati dua sejoli selama ini.

Sekiranya dia mengahwini Syed Imran, adakah pengorbanannya itu berbaloi? Ya, dia harus nekad. Demi kasih sayang terhadap sahabat sejati, dia sanggup menjadi isteri Syed Imran, tetapi statusnya itu hanya di atas kertas tanpa pengetahuan orang lain. Faizul terpaksa ditinggalkan dalam diam.

A main source of these stories were collections of yadam. These were a form of short tale, especially popular in the Joseon period. Whereas Confucian classics were the gateway to official...
