ANTERIOR

ANANTARA - 15 Arrival of Abi and Ummi

Today is the day Adam and his wives will return home. From the morning, Aisyah had fixed all her luggage to go home later.

Erika is sulking in her room, she billed Adam's appointment to take her to the obstetrician. But apparently, Adam could not drive him today, because there was a little problem in his office, causing Adam to quickly go to the office after driving his two wives home.

"Mas, that's it! I promised you that!" Said Erika who felt unacceptable.

Adam turned his body to look at his wife, he pinched the top of his nose as if dizzy with the ravings of Erika.

"Darling, I'm sorry, but I can't leave my job now either." Adam replies, he looks at Erika with his eyebrows intertwined.

"Yes, but I promised! You can just ask for an assistant or secretary! Why should I give up!" Erika does not seem to understand the situation of her husband now.

"Erika, please understand just this once, I know you must be upset, but I can't leave this job to anyone anymore, please," he told Erika.

Adam now sat down beside Erika, looking at her annoyed face. "The appointment, once this work is done, will definitely take you to the obstetrician as soon as possible." Adam bargained, he seemed to be persuading a 5-year-old child.

Erika who was still flicking her face was now starting to melt with Adam's offer, she narrowed her eyes, then asked, "What is the promise?"

Adam nodded quickly, his sparkling eyes as if to convince Erika of his words.

"Alright, but you can't lie anymore! Mas must quickly finish the job and accompany me to the obstetrician!" Erika finally said, Adam was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He hugged Erika who was still pouting, his wife was a little stubborn, but according to Adam Erika was adorable. Unlike Aisyah who always understood and rarely sulked like Erika, Adam felt Aisyah was too mature.

Although sometimes the nature is very helpful and does not complicate it, but Adam also actually likes the spoiled nature of Erika which he rarely found from Aisyah.

"Yes, you're ready first, I'm waiting outside yeah." Adam said, then went ahead to meet his parents.

Finally, after a few hours of travel, Aisyah was at home. Aisyah looked at Adam who was trying to help her lower the bag from inside the trunk.

"I'm sorry you have to leave immediately" Adam said, feeling guilty to Aisyah.

Aisyah shook her head slowly, she smiled and said, "I'm fine, after all, I've taken a long time off, I have to go back to taking care of my work."

As Adam said, Ayesha would definitely understand her situation, in contrast to Erika.

Adam smiled again, he rubbed the top of his wife's head. "After this work is done, I promise to go home soon and accompany you both." Adam said again, he looked at his wife and son, gave them a small kiss before finally saying goodbye.

"Byeah, Abi!" Shouted Ali, waving his hand to Adam who was already in the car with Erika.

There is a sense of sadness, when he saw the husband who is now leaving her with another woman. You must have been very tired of hearing this, but in fact Aisyah's heart is not completely sincere.

It is difficult, however, that Aisyah is just an ordinary woman, who is difficult to describe her present condition, as a woman who has to share her husband with other women.

On that day, Aisyah was busy cleaning her house which she had left for several days. Until the afternoon, she hoped to wait for her husband's return, but Adam did not come.

Apparently, the husband sent him a message stating that he would stay at his other wife's house. Back the sadness spread in her heart, even so Aisyah tried not to think too much about it. He would rather rest than continue to drag on in his grief.

The next day, Aisyah woke up as usual, doing activities that kept repeating every day. However, this morning he had a guest, who was none other than his own parents.

"Come, Ummi, why don't you tell Aisyah first if you want to come here?" Say Aisyah while treating her parents with a cup of warm tea.

Actually, Aisyah had not told them at all what had happened in her household during this month. Aisha was actually afraid, she was afraid that Abi and Umminya would be disappointed in Adam. Therefore, Aisyah tried to keep it a secret from her parents.

"Aren't you allowed if Ummi and Abi visit their own children?" His words, Aisyah looks awkwardly smiling.

He was actually happy to meet Ummi and Abinya, after a long time did not meet, but, there was a deep sense of sadness, fearing if the things he kept secret would be revealed.

"Where's your husband, son? Has he left for work?" Asked the Abi, Aisyah nodded, agreeing with Abi's question.

"As Adam has gone to work, what is it until Abi and Ummi come all the way here?" Aisyah asked, making Abi and Ummi look at each other.

Finally the Abi looked back at Aisyah, a look of worry that was implied. "Aisha, actually Abi and Ummi you want to ask something." Answer the Abi.

Aisha slightly swallowed her saliva with some difficulty, she asked Abi again, "What does Abi mean?" Her speech.

"Later, after your husband, after all your Abi and Ummi have also not met our favorite grandson, where does he want to be?" Abi Aisha replied, as if refusing to tell Aisha.

Before long Aisyah returned with the child, Ali ran small, she quickly hugged both her grandparents. Tells a lot of things, about his new experience, that day, Abi and Umm Aisyah play with their grandchildren.

Eliminate the intense longing for his little grandson. While Aisyah, feeling confused, she continued to send her husband a message.

Telling her of her parents' arrival, she was afraid that Adam would not return home that day. So Aisha continued to send Adam messages, hoping that Adam could return to his home that day.

Aisha, now disoriented, awaits Adam's return. Erika was sulking at her husband, and he followed where Adam went in his apartment.

"No mas! Nah! I don't allow the mas to go back to Aisyah's house!" Erika exclaimed, she was always a shame when Adam was about to meet Aisha.

"Always! It's always like this! Can't you grow up like Aisyah!" Adam replies, he seems tired of Erika's childish nature.

Now Erika turned her back, not accepting the words of Adam who compared her to Aisha.

"What did you say! Mature!" Excited with a red face.

"You're starting to compare me to that woman! Brutal you are mas!" He looked at Adam sharply, pushing Adam's body slowly, as if he did not accept it.

Adam, who knew he had mispronounced his words, was frustrated. "Erika! Please, don't start! I'm just asking for your permission to see Aisyah! Don't keep going like this! I don't want to fight with you, baby."

Adam tried to be patient, easing his emotions. He had to be extra patient in dealing with this other wife.

"Who starts first! You are your own! You compare me to that cheap lady!" Reply Erika, she shouted loudly to her husband.

"Well, well I admit I'm wrong, but I beg you to have enough, please understand." Adam tried to give up, he did not want to prolong this little problem.

But, Erika seemed reluctant to end this fight of theirs just like that.

"Enough! What do you mean enough! You blame me for starting this! You are mas! You're the one who made all this complicated!" He shouted again, still feeling unaccepted.

Adam was confused, how else he should address Erika's stubbornness. It's not easy, but Adam has to be patient.

He tried to get closer, bringing both hands to grab Erika's shoulders, but Erika again rejected Adam's efforts.

"Take off me mas!" He said, letting go of Adam's hand.

"Erika I beg you! Help u! Please understand! It always ends up like this. Every time I talk about Aisyah, there must be a fight, I don't want to continue like this!" Adam was very confused.

It was as if he was pleading with his wife to stop all these petty disputes.

"That's the problem, man! The problem is the woman! It should not have been there from the beginning! Why would I bring him into my life!" Erika again shouted like a crazy woman. He ruffled his hair in frustration, like he was no longer worried about his appearance in front of Adam.

"ERICA! ENOUGH ALREADY!" Reply Adam, with a slightly high tone, made Erika now silent not budging.

Adam, who realized that he had surprised Erika, now began to lower his tone. "I'm sorry" he said.

Now Erika shed her tears, as if surprised by the snaps coming out of Adam's mouth earlier.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I've been too rude to you." Adam took Erika into his arms, he felt guilty.

Finally, Adam tried to calm his wife down, until after Erika calmed down, Adam tried to persuade her. He promised that after that day Adam would quickly return home and accompany him back.

"You promise me!" Erika said.

"I promise, after Aisyah's parents come home, I'll quickly come back here and accompany you, I promise." Reply there tried to convince him.

Still in his arms, Erika now leaned her head against Adam's chest. Like a little boy sulking at his father.

"Have your promise! I don't want you to linger with that woman! Once your business is done, you should hurry back!" He said again, Adam nodded obediently.

He did not realize that now, Adam has been more inclined to this other wife. He was in the hands of Erika, not thinking about the feelings of Aisha who also wanted to be treated the same as Erika.

However, what power Adam could not resist Erika's request, stupid. Yes, Adam was a foolish man who thought that he could be fair to his two wives, but, in fact, nil.

Again and again, Aisha was the victim.
