Humairah smiled again, he knew Alif was starting to get jealous of his best friend.
"Let's go to sleep, I'm sleepy!" invite Humairah who is increasingly curled up in her husband's arms, her smile does not fade even though her eyes begin to shut, how happy Humairah tonight, he said, the first time he felt the loving embrace of a husband who loved another woman so far, but now the deck was created for him.
"Hey, we're not done talking!" refute Alif.
Silent.
"Darling?" Alif glanced at the face of Humairah who had closed his eyes in the confinement of his big arm, the man smiled and then kissed his wife's face with anxiety.
"Mas Alif," Humairah's whine that was getting sleepy, he was disturbed.
"You're making me anxious, baby" said Alif almost biting Humairah's chin.
Make Humairah re-open her narrowed eyes, "I love you mas Alif, I hope this is not a dream."
"I love you even more Humairah, I won't let you go until anytime, I won't miss my bidad again after this, sleep baby. What a beautiful dream!" exclaiming Alif while peeping Humairah's forehead long enough, they tighten their arms, Humairah can sleep comfortably in the arms of her husband, the husband who began to love her.
Alif said feelingly, he never even said so deeply to Aisha. But with Humairah, he even difficult to describe his feelings that are too deep to express, Alif feel it now, how valuable a Humairah for him, he will not meet again this kind of wife.
At the age of Humairah who was very young he was able to act mature even though this marriage was very heavy for him, he said, but at all he did not give up on being able to stay together in the same spirit despite having to share love with other women and ignored for a long time.
****
Morning rolled, Alif facing the mirror. He was preparing to button his work shirt, his face bright as bright as the sun this morning.
His heart flowered when he found the reflection of his wife's shadow coming from behind, Humairah approached him with the sincere smile of a first wife.
Alif immediately turned around, welcoming Humairah who had also been tidy.
"Can I help you?" fresh Humairah.
"It is with pleasure dear," replied Alif gave to Humairah to button his shirt remaining a few buttons.
"Where else are you going to campus?" alif asked as he stroked the face of the wife who was focused with shirt buttons.
"Maybe it's going somewhere."
Alif scrunched his forehead.
"Where's that?"
"Mas Alif will know later, I intend to go there with you.... But, even if you want to and are not busy, I think there we can momentarily go back in time, nostalgia can't hurt, right?" answer Humairah who has finished buttoning Alif's shirt that is attached perfectly to his sturdy body.
"Is this some kind of puzzle? What do you mean by nostalgia?"
"That's a secret, you'll find out later. What matters now is that you have time to go with me or not?" ask back Humairah with a smile that has not faded since last night.
"Of course I have time, anything for you!" alif answered the top of his wife's head who had been wearing a hijab that was in line with her outfit today.
Lama Alif noticed the appearance of Humairah, "You are like a student who is still a girl," said Alif amazed.
"Yes, no one knows I'm married besides Aji and Lola."
Alif was silent, Humairah chuckled at the look of her husband.
"I'm just kidding, don't think about it."
Alif shook his head, "You're right, I'm sorry about this. Give me time to prepare everything" Alif replied in an ambiguous tone.
"Did Alif start thinking about going public about your first wife's whereabouts?" asked Humairah in jest.
Alif was silent, but he nodded.
"I'll announce our marriage if the time is right, nor do I want you to live with a hidden identity, you're my wife... Alif Zayyan Pratama's wife."
"Honey I'm just joking, besides everyone knows about brother Aisyah do not make your situation so difficult, you will get a lot of scorn later especially from anti-polygamy, think about your social status. You are not a random person, I have no problem with any of this" replied Humairah.
"I don't care, I don't want to hide my first wife anymore, I don't do that anymore Humairah, be patient I'll set the right time for us" Alif said with a serious face.
Humairah shook his head, "For me it no longer matters mas Alif, all I want is your heart, you value me and consider me to be in this marriage, she said, putting me in the same position as Brother Aisyah in the other half of your heart, and you will be fair after this as you promised before, that is more than anything, that is, it doesn't matter if someone thinks I'm nobody to you. As long as I can keep myself and honor as a wife why not, this is not a trivial thing let alone an office person no one knows you have two wives."
Alif looked at Humairah with eyes that were almost wet, he closed his wife's tiny body tightly.
"Mas Alif? Come on baby why be a crybaby early in the morning," Humairah said when she found her husband crying at this time.
"I'm really sorry to have done all this, I'm sorry Humairah. I'm a bad man, don't leave me Humairah, please stay with me" Alif said in a sobbing voice.
"Geez, we're leaving, baby, let's stop. Stop regretting what happened, I've been sincere anyway we agreed to fix it is not it? Come on I've just been happy since last night, I don't want to ruin the next days with a cry, this husband has already returned my love there's nothing more I'm expecting," humairah looked up at Alif.
"I love you Aisha Humairah, promise me you won't leave me?"
Humairah smiled amusedly, "Where do I want to leave Mas Alif? I just went to college" replied Humairah wiping Alif's tears with her pretty hands.
"Stop crying, do I want to capture this moment? Mas Alif is funny when crying, don't make me laugh, there is nothing happier than being loved by my own husband, I forgive you really, don't talk like that anymore, we'll start over again."
Humairah wants to laugh, but he does not have the heart. Alif was really like a child, crying to the sniffle of a sedan.
"Mas Alif, come on, are we leaving or not?"
Alif shakes.
"Don't joke, I have to meet the supervisor as promised" said Humairah, who was looking at the clock on her wrist.
"I don't want to split up" Alif replied seriously.
"Yes Allah..... What's the matter with Alif? Don't talk weird."
"I mean, we're not going out today!"
"What's? Honey don't joke, you're going to the office and I'm going to the college as planned. Huhhhh..... Why is it like this?" muttered Humairah while kissing her husband's lips.
Alif was silent, he hugged Humairah again.
"Mas Alif?"
"No way."
"Huh, alright we will lock ourselves in the house today but what if Brother Aisyah comes home and asks you to be with her? Wouldn't I be left behind too?"
"I don't care, my phone has been turned off" replied Alif lightly.
Humairah hit her husband's chest in annoyance.
"Look, of course you have to be fair to both of us. If he comes home from out of town, of course you have to go back there, unless you choose one of us, huh it turns out to be bothered to be you, too, mas" Humairah joked.
Alif fell silent, "I chose you Humairah," muttered Alif in heart.
"Okay, stop this drama let's go before our clothes get tangled!" bring Humairah again.
"No, we're not going anywhere!" alif answered who immediately carried his wife to the balcony in their room.
"Mas Alif?" rengek Humairah, he has promised with his script supervisor, it is not easy to meet the super busy lecturer other than today.
"No, you can't meet anyone today!" answer Alif kissed the lips of Humairah who was putting on an upset face.
"Huh... Why is my husband so possessive?"
"Because I love you" recalls Alif when they reached the balcony, he sat on a chair but did not take off the Humairah that was sitting on his lap.
Humairah smiled, Alif loves her, it's more than anything now.
"Are we just gonna sit here?"
"Are you going to fuck in the open?" seductive Alif, Humairah chuckles he feels funny.
"With a face out crying like this, Alif can talk nasty things."
"Do you want me to cry again?"
Humairah laughed more and more, "Oh I have a baby now," Humairah chuckled.
"Speaking about the baby, how about we stay at the hotel tonight? We're making babies there."
"Dear come on don't joke" Humairah said.
"I'm serious, let's have a child soon."
"I am happy with you mas Alif wherever it is, not necessarily in the hotel, about our son leaving everything to the almighty, I am ready to conceive your offspring, whenever the opportunity is given, he said, I'll be ready!" humairah caressed her husband's face.
"I'm happy with you Humairah, now I understand my choice was never wrong, about my mistake with you, believe me I will regret it for life."
