"I'm Aisyah, I think we need to talk three"
The sentence made Humairah jerked from her daydream, she turned to look at her husband who was standing next to the woman. Besides nodding there was no other way for Humairah, he also did not want to run away from their current reality.
"Well miss," replied Humairah nodding her head slowly.
Humairah walked with the steps of Alif and Aisyah entered the room, she just smiled bitterly seeing her husband and the woman joined hands did not take off each other since before even in front of him.
"Humairah, sit down"
Alif was stale, he seemed to want to come forward to his wife but his hand felt held back by the hand of the lover who was closer than before.
"Good sir"
"No need to be rigid, we talk not as strangers in this office but as people who will determine the future of our marriage" Alif told Humairah.
The tears that pooled as strong as the power of Humairah resistant so as not to fall.
"You've seen, haven't you? We're lovers, we love each other. Can you allow a wedding that's supposed to be mine, but you're luckier to get it first," syasya said Aisyah's close call to the sitting Humairah who seemed to be preparing her heart by the reality of the chat that she will face at this time.
Humairah was still silent, indeed he was confused even more he was nervous when faced with this beautiful woman in front of him.
"I beg Humairah" said Alif again, making Humairah turn to him with a wounded look on the thirty day of her marriage.
"You can help us to be together in a marriage, I'm sure you're a good woman according to your hijab look, I'm sure you can also accept me as honey even though I should be the only woman belonging to Alif, but it's okay for a blessing to marry I'm willing to share with you Humairah"
Word by word became a striking sentence to the hearing of the Humairah at this time, how the woman could easily say so, so to speak, a decision that must be considered with a wide heart and mind but he was desperate to make a choice at this time especially chat with Alif last night who alluded to separation and still choose women his dream was that they had just married last month.
The clear drops finally fell on Humairah's beautiful smooth cheeks, he could only develop a thin smile, she said, his lips trembled wanting to let out an opinion but like being restrained after getting a deadly gaze from Alif's lover right pierced his heart.
"I'm sorry that I'm Alif and Miss Aisyah, can you give me a little more time to organize my heart in one month of this marriage, getting married to Mas Alif still feels like a dream until now, but these few days I have to accept a new reality that is completely beyond my expectations, I have not been able to answer it"
Taking a breath, Humairah continued, "This is marriage, a sacred bond before parents and God. We should not celebrate the sacred word as easily as you say, I understand about you who love each other, this is not about love alone but also about our future. The decision to be ready to be combined is not young lady, there are many consequences that we will face later, this marriage is not a game mas Alif."
"I also have to think of my heart, my future if it is true we will be bound three in the household, but separation is also not a good solution when I have officially entered this bond let alone just a month ago we got married, again I remind mas Alif this marriage is not a courtship that we can break up anytime if it does not want to be together, give me a little time to make my choice"
Alif seemed frustrated, he did not think a woman as innocent as Humairah could also argue as now, he thought it was easy to persuade his first wife to he immediately married Aisyah, Alif could have married siri if he wanted to and did not have to do so far but he did not want as a man he wanted a dream marriage with Aisyah could be realized without being hidden like a series marriage of most people.
"You're good at also in the talk of Humairah, well start thinking from now on, I want our wedding to take place right on the day so we're the second of the year next week. I'm so grateful that if you're going to let Alif remarry, I think we're going to be good honey"
Aisyah dropped her head leaning against the chest of the field belonging to Humairah's husband with a smile, making Humairah want to immediately pass from their intimacy.
*****
In the third of the night, Humairah seemed to be in tears as she raised her hands praying to the creator of all the feelings that arise in her chest at this time, she said, the dim light makes his heart and feelings and the cold produced by his room AC increasingly pierced to death.
Long she was stunned after running two rakaat for the sake of asking for clues to her heart that felt broken into pieces thinking about the fate of her current marriage.
Whether as a hint or not, Humairah began to think if he chose to end the marriage will not he hurt many hearts, he said, his mother's father would be embarrassed if he came home as a newly married widow for a month of course would be ashamed of one village if people knew, he said, how is Rika's mother who is very good and put a lot of hope in her as the daughter-in-law of choice.
Not to mention his heart that has fallen on the figure of Alif as the dream man of all women, even so Alif treated him well during marriage.
"Didn't Alif promise to be fair?" muttered Humairah after lying back on her bed.
"I don't want to be a widow this young, I'm expecting a one-time marriage in my life, maybe it's been her destiny like this. O Allah express my heart if it is ready to be combined at my age, married with a short matchmaking I do not want the age of this marriage to be too short if I am wrong in choosing a decision"
"Wouldn't there be a lot of well-executed polygamous stories, if I'm good at managing my feelings, maybe things will go smoothly"
Again Humairah spoke to the wind, before he fell asleep again in a dream that brought him lost under sleep alone because tonight Alif did not come home.
******
A week later, Alif is preparing for the last fitting of the wedding dress he will wear tomorrow.
She hugged Humairah who was washing dishes, Humairah smiled got her husband's sweet attitude. Alif turned Humairah's body to face him.
"I'll go, thank you very much Humairah. You are indeed a good wife, you are even able to persuade the rock-hard mama all this time against our intention to get married, I am happy Humairah, trust me I will be fair to you later"
Alif looked at his wife's bead with a smile, he kissed Humairah's forehead with a long time as a sign he was very grateful for the realization of his dream marriage with Aisyah.
"Yes, I'm happy when you're happy. Be careful driving, the bride and groom are prohibited from speeding on the road, hopefully there are no obstacles until tomorrow"
"Amen.... Thank you dear"
Alif was not aware that he was calling Humairah affectionately.
"I'm leaving first, you're fine here"
"Mas Alif?"
Alif did not answer, he was confused why he so wanted to hug Humairah with a long time at this time, Alif released his wife's body but grabbed the face of Humairah for he kissed his lips very long, so he could not give her a kiss, only dipping but able to make Humairah lack of oxygen.
Alif took it off and chuckled, "Breathe well, I'll leave now."
Humairah again just nodded without saying a word. His smile rose as Alif's back disappeared behind the door.
"Hope your business is good mas"
The next day Humairah helped Alif tidied up his current wardrobe, "You ready? I pray that you are not wrong in saying the name of Miss Aisyah later mas, I am afraid you call Aisyah Humairah when the truth is Siti Aisyah, do not turn back, yes," canda Humairah while patting her husband's chest sign finished pinning a pin as a chest sweetener Alif akad shirt.
Alif chuckled, "Yes, I even forgot that I married two Aisha in my life."
Humairah smiled, "Alright, you're already handsome and ready to come out."
"Thank you Humairah"
His wife nodded again, until Alif walked out of the hotel room where they were holding a wedding ceremony that afternoon.
Humairah shed tears, he is really good at deceiving himself. Not wanting to drag on for a long time in grief, he decided to go into the next room where Aisyah was being groomed at the moment.
"Oh what a coincidence that you're here Humairah, I want you to polish my face specifically this marriage contract"
Humairah was surprised, he approached his honeymoon candidate who some MUA rent people became astonished.
"You can make up my face specifically for the reception later tonight, for I want Humairah to polish it," said Aisyah suddenly.
"I know your makeup is good, Humairah, I saw some on your social media account, I'd like to see if you're really sincere about being my honey because of the beautiful results of not having my face after you make up later"
Humairah was stunned, he did not think that Aisyah knew a lot about her who can apply makeup, because before marriage Humairah had taken a makeup course and had worked side by side while studying to become a professional MUA, but unfortunately Humairah did not have time to pursue the job after he interned at Alif's office.
"Alright if you ask for it," replied Humairah who immediately took a position by wearing all the tools of the woman who became MUA rented Aisyah who was still staring at the two of them in surprise.
"Beautiful, I like your makeup," said Aisyah.
"It's because I'm sincere that you became my madam, otherwise I might have broken your face"
Aisyah looked at Humairah, "I'm just kidding, I'm glad you like Miss Aisyah. Well don't let the candidate defend you wait a long time, just be ready I'll go out first."
Humairah did not wait for Aisyah's response, she came out just like that, her steps stopped when she met a middle-aged man wearing an expensive suit with a pin-shaped pin on his chest.
"Mr Imran, do you want to see Miss Ayesha?"
"I will not interfere in your affairs, you have grown up I hope this is the best decision among the three of you"
Humairah nodded again, "God willing sir, I sincerely share with master Imran's daughter. Please pray for our good in the future."
"You're a good woman for Humairah, it's nice to meet you"
Humairah nodded again and then he left, long ago Mr. Imran looked at the back of Humairah who was increasingly away, his eyes glazed over.
"His eyes are similar to those of my late wife, and the eyes of Nak Humairah are familiar to me. Strong and strong woman, pity her"
Humairah hugged her in-laws who had not stopped crying since the show began.
"Darling, what is your heart made of? Why can you be like this Humairah, mama is not willing this to happen to you, mama feels guilty to Aini and Ihsan already took her daughter just to get hurt like this"
"I am happy when Mas Alif happy ma, this is how love should be. I learned to put aside the ego to not have a whole mas Alif but there are other women who are also entitled to it. Mama don't cry anymore, I'm better prepared now it's all gonna take time"
Mama Rika looked at Humairah in annoyance how could her daughter-in-law say so easily.
"Just pray that we can get along three, I have also read and learned a lot from the experience of polygamy stories that I read from various articles, I have been more accepting of this situation, I have been more accepting of this situation, not all polygamy is bad, maybe God told me to learn to be more patient than before, more mature, please pray mama"
"Oh dear" Rika's mother was at a loss for words, she could only return stunned to tears while hugging Humairah.
Until Humairah felt the heat of his eyes, then fell the tears that he had been holding back after Alif managed to pronounce the agreement well, he said, thus officially, Humanity is included in the realm of polygamy themes that not all women are ready for that one word.
"I'm happy you're happy Alif, may you fulfill your promise to be fair to me who expects a little love from you" Humairah muttered in her heart, he looked at Alif and Aisyah exchanging rings in front of the guests.
Humairah developed her smile as Alif turned to her, "I love you Mas Alif, be happy like what you've been wanting all this time"
Again Humairah said in his heart, a heart that seemed to have been broken hit by a large stone felt squeezed to the chest, the heart that he prepared to be strong as a rock to keep running through the housewife with Alif Zayyan Pratama, the man who made him fall in love in the blink of an eye.
The Heart that Humairah prepared to cover his feelings, namely by deceiving themselves.
