A Cup of Black Coffee

Chapter 92

Hulya and Fathur's marriage took place after seven days of Azam's departure.

There are no big or special celebrations. There are only rulers, families and neighbors around them invited.

The whispers of the neighbors were not unheard when they found out that Hulya was made the third wife.

"Jeez, it's desirable that Hulya became the third wife. Yes, her husband is rich, looks very matrenya," whispered their neighbor.

Huma could still hear their chatter, but chose to pay attention to his hearing. Suppose that marriage can be secretly, he would not invite his neighbors.

But he knew, a marriage must be spread the news so as not to become slander.

"On the same sale, Mr. Afdhal, or their foundation will be on the verge of bankruptcy" replied another.

Fortunately the religious leader whom Afdhal invited raised his voice in leading the prayer, leaving the gossipers behind silent for a moment.

There were Mala and Zahwa who were present to witness the marriage of their three husbands.

Zahwa stared at her honey brother who looked calm.

"I'm surprised you Ma'am! Why did you let Fathur get married again? Are you sure our husband is capable of being fair?" whispered Zahwa fierce.

She was surprised not to play while in the news of her honeymoon sister to attend the wedding of her three husbands.

Angry of course, he did not accept honey, although he himself was also honey for Mala.

But instead of a second wife who will usually get excessive attention, the husband still treats Mala as Queen and she as his concubine.

Even though he had given one child to her husband who could not be given by Mala his first wife, despite having to work hard in getting it first.

She could not understand what function Hulya had as her husband's third wife? He really did not understand the mind path of his husband and brother.

Huma could only sigh many times. His heart was troubled when he had to approve the marriage of his two daughters.

Being a third wife is not a pride for him, of course, there will be many discordant voices that his daughter must accept with her status.

O Allah, this may be the punishment for the servant's family for hurting the former sons-in-law of the servant.

Forgive us, O Allah, that the path of Hulya thou be Ridoi.

After offering prayers in his heart, Huma again assured the ruler who offered prayers after Fathur said kabul.

"Good boy, you're back to being a wife. Obey your husband's words, get along with your sister. Umi hope, this is your last marriage," said Huma when the princess was asking for her blessing.

"Pardon all Hulya's attitude so far, yes Umi, pray always the blessing in Hulya's household life in the future," Pinta Hulya sad.

Now it was Fathur's turn to rest in front of Huma. The younger in-laws of hers made the two quite clumsy.

"I ask for Umi's prayer, hopefully can be a good leader for Hulya," said Fathur.

"I have my daughter, Mr. Fathur. Please love and respect her even as your third wife" Huma pinta said.

Fathur nodded then smiled. The same message his father-in-law said.

While in another corner there is Aryani who snorted annoyed to see the existence of her ex-wife husband who was also present there.

"Well, what did Zahra want to come here? He's just a former daughter-in-law here!" aryani's grunts.

Zhafran himself did not hear the words of his wife. His gaze was only on his ex-wife who looked happier.

If you say beautiful and changed, of course not. Zahra as usual, since the girl and being his wife is like that ex-wife.

Shar'i fashion with natural makeup is his trademark. The only difference at this moment was, Zhafran knew the smile and laughter coming out of Zahra's face was the natural one she was feeling in her heart.

Not something that is made up to cover up all the turmoil and his heartache.

"Bah!" sentak Aryani is upset because it looks once the husband looks sad at his ex-wife.

"Well why! There I'm here pah, appreciate me dong!" aryani's grunts.

"Zahra is my parents' ex-daughter-in-law. But there are things you should know, for Umi and Abi Zahra is their daughter," explained Zhafran who actually made Aryani upset half to death.

Zhafran snorted in annoyance. The words of the wife are very presumptuous to make herself upset instead of playing. But again he can only be silent, because he does not want to make a scene at his sister's special event.

After the celebration, all the families gathered in the living room.

Mala and Zahwa also want to withdraw to their homes. Mala knew that her husband would spend his first night at his new wife's house.

"Thank you very much for your understanding. Wait for us to come home tomorrow" said Fathur when his first wife resigned.

"Thank you for accepting me to be the wife of Mr. Fathur Bu Mala, please guide me," said Hulya.

"Welcome to our extended family Hulya. Do you still want to call us sir and mom?" kekeh Mala saw the clumsy demeanor of his mad sister.

Hulya just smiled faintly, I don't know she felt she wasn't ready to have to change the call to the two.

Now it was Zahwa's turn to sulk in front of her husband.

"Mas, don't forget me!" the thirty-five-year-old woman complained to her husband.

"O Allah Zahwa, of course you will not forget" replied Fatur, wiping his wife's head.

When he was about to approach Hulya he did not want to greet his mad sister.

"Thou shalt not be greedy to have a whole Fathur mas. Remember that there was me and Mala,. After all, for Fathur mas remains Mala's most important," explained Zahwa to Hulya as well as insinuation for her husband.

And so is Zahra. He resigned because he knew he was no longer part of the Afdhal and Huma families even though there were children who remained part of their families.

"I resigned myself too, Umi-Abi. For Hulya and Mr. Fathur, may the warohmah mawadah. Congratulations on a new life. You can't play to your sister's place anymore either" complained Zahra who made everyone there laugh.

Only Aryani is annoyed by her former honey's pretentious behavior.

"No Ka, I promise that if there is free time I will definitely look at my handsome and beautiful niece," replied Hulya as she pinched the gnarly cheeks of her two nephews.

Hulya felt sad because of the fate of her brother's marriage which ended in separation. Look at how his two sons lost the figure of a father.

"I'm sorry we're Ka" said Hulya to release the departure of her former sister-in-law.

After everyone left, Zhafran was left to talk to his parents.

"You want to stay over Bang?" tanya Huma saw that her eldest son was still silent in his residence.

Zhafran took a deep breath. Then look at the whole family.

Actually he was a bit uncomfortable with the existence of Fathur even though the man had officially become his sister-in-law.

He still feels awkward, because the age is far above it in addition to their different social status.

Seeing her sister-in-law hesitated to speak. Fathur decided to step aside for a moment from his new wife's family chat.

He was aware that they still had privacy that he might not have wanted to interfere with.

"Hulya, can you take Mas to the room? Mas tired," said Fathur chose to resign.

"Abi, Umi, Bang, Ka, Hulya and Pak Fathur take a break first yes," Hulya and Fathur stepped away from their families.

"Abi, Umi has someone to talk about Zhafran," he said weakly.

"What's the Bang?" reply Afdhal.

"Can we stay here in the meantime?" suddenly doors.
