“Tuk..tuk..tuk.” The sound of a car glass knock shocked Ana and she immediately wiped away her tears. Ana then opens the window of the car and sees that Beautiful has been standing while looking at her.
“What's Ndah?” Ana asked while normalizing her tone.
“If crying don't be loud. I can hear.” Reply Beautiful who understands Ana's sadness because she also feels the same way.
Ana got out of the car and hugged Indah tightly. “What's wrong with our lives? Why is happiness always so short?” Ana asked with a groan of tears.
“Na.. I know how you feel. because our position is the same. I will try to be patient and I hope you are too. Now it's good we rest.” Reply Beautifully calms Ana.
After properly parking the car, the two of them returned to the house. Ana lay on the old sofa while closing her eyes hoping that all she experienced was a dream.
Ana woke up pretty late. The sun looked high. Around Ana's house, neighbors were watching waiting for someone to leave.
Rahma and Beautiful who had woken up first seemed very confused. No, not a single drop of water was in the house. Until finally Rahma decided to go out to look for water with a tangled look.
Just now Rahma opened the door dozens of pairs of eyes immediately glanced at him. Old young girls and even small children feel very curious about this woman who is very foreign to them. Rahma became misbehaved and tried to smile and greet her new neighbors.
“Morning sir. buk..” so said Rahma while back inside the house.
Rahma immediately walked over to Ana who was still lying on the sofa. Rahma shook Ana's body to get up from her sleep.
“Na.. Ana wake up.” Rahma's voice pulls Ana's hand.
“What's up brother?” Ask Ana very softly.
“Na no water? I want to take a shower. I'm very sultry. You know I haven't had a shower in a few days.” Rahma to Ana.
Ana got up and walked outside the house. “Cute me.” Take Ana while walking.
“Don't go out. Outside a lot of people are looking at us.” Rahma felt a little embarrassed.
“That's okay. Let me take care of them.” Reply Ana casually.
“Where are you going?” Sahut Indah who just returned from ransacking the kitchen.
“Me and my sister Rahma want to take a shower. Do you want to come?” Obviously Ana while taking her along.
“Iya I'm coming.”
Ana stepped out of the door and showed her face to the dozens of pairs of eyes that had been watching her house. An old woman stood up and walked over to Ana.
“You're Ana, right? Geez, just be beautiful.” Said the old woman holding Ana's cheek.
“Iya nek. I Ana. sorry long time no visit here.” Reply Ana with a smile.
“Iya is fine.. grandma kangen same you. because you can always turn on the atmosphere in this complex. and as long as you know.. after you leave here grandma feels very lonely.” Grandma obviously told Ana.
Ana replies with a smile to her grandmother and kisses her hand. “For a while Ana will stay here kok nek. so grandma don't worry.”
Seeing Ana's face made the neighboring mothers come and greet Ana, because Ana was once a golden child in the complex. In addition to her beautiful face, Ana very often helps the neighbors make the neighbors feel very comfortable with her.
“Beautiful woman of these two what is your friend Na?” Ask the grandmother while glancing towards Rahma and Indah.
“Hah? What do you mean?” The grandmother was very surprised to hear Ana's answer and felt disbelief in what she heard.
“Yes they both are also my husband's wife nek.” Ana again, obviously.
“Oh so they're actors? Here granny love lesson.” Grandma was angry.
“Not so grandma..I was the last wife.Let me introduce them one by one to grandma.” Clearly Ana and immediately pulled Rahma's hand. “Nek.. This one is called Rahma. she is my husband's second wife.” Ana then continued to pull the hand of Beautiful. “And this one is called Beautiful third wife and there is another one still resting inside. His name is Nisa first wife. whereas my husband is Bima. he is sick again.”.
“Hah? Are you serious Na? Then you'll stay home? Is your husband strong? Does he use drugs can face four women at once?” Ask the grandmother, still in disbelief.
“Hahaha granny no-no.. Emang from the beginning of our marriage live in the house of Grandma. ya already grandma you go shower back first.” Reply Ana laughed and walked away from the grandmother.
The three of them continued walking on a small road between the houses of the citizens. Before continuing Ana stopped at a stall ahead of the bathhouse she was headed to.
“Ana!!” Sahut the woman in the stall who immediately embraced Ana. The woman's face looked very happy when she saw Ana's face. The woman was Ana's best friend from Elementary School until she finished High School, so how unhappy when she just got back together after a few years.
“Fitri.. Jeez you're a bit fat huh?” Ledek Ana on her best friend's posture.
“Hahaha yes I am a mother now.” Reply Fitri to Ana. “You yourself are married yet?” He asked Ana.
“Udah kok. but I still have no children.” Ana replied smiling.
“Oh you are patient. soon you will also have a baby grandpa.as long as your husband is diligent for him. hahaha.” Saying Fitri while laughing. “Oh yes.. Two women behind you who is this?” Ask Fitri curious.
“Oh they both are also my husband's wives. Their names are Rahma and Indah.” Ana replied while introducing the two of them.
“Hah? Na I'm not wrong to listen?” Tanya Fitri was very surprised to hear Ana's explanation.
“Ngak kok Fit.. you did not mishear.they both are also my husband's wife.” Ana made her words clear.
Fitri immediately pulled Ana's hand towards the back of the stall. “Na you don't joke..that's how the two women became your husband's wife? How many wives do you have?” Tanya Fitri was still astonished and in disbelief.
“Yes I'm not kidding Fit. They are indeed the wives of my husband. My husband has four wives I mean I.” Ana replied to Fitri.
“Na why is that? You are beautiful and good.dreaman many men. but how can-can be a striped nose husband.”.
“Iiisss Fitri. don't just say. Husband I'm not a striped man.My husband is a good and responsible man, loving and being fair to his wives.”
“But are you not sick or jealous when he shares love with others?”
“At first hurt anyway. but over time I became accustomed and understood it turns out to love him it is very simple.if you are in my position you will also feel how warm.”.
Fitri was still feeling confused and her heart kept wondering. But from the way Ana gave an answer it was clear that Ana was very affectionate with her husband and comfortable with her position as the fourth wife.
“Na.. Keep you here why Na? Are you all home?” Fitri asked again, still very curious.
“Ihhh Fitri do not ask much. I want to go take a shower..give me soap same shampoo bath.. I'll pay you later because I'm missing money at home.” Answer Ana does not want to be too long.
Fitri re-enters the stall and takes everything Ana needs. With a plastic bag Fitri put all the toiletries and thrust on Ana. In his heart, Fitri was still confused and curious about what happened to Ana actually. Ana still does not seem to want to tell all about Fitri, not knowing for what reason is clear after Ana took the plastic bag she went straight to the bathhouse.
