Chapter 36 Rather Overall

That day the work of Athar and his brothers who had been like the system of forced labor was finally completed as well. Their faces looked tired, limp and pitiful. For the first time, they finally felt it. That it turns out to be looking for money is very heavy.

"Hows it? Are you guys kapok now?" Seringai Abah Dullah on all three.

Athar who still has difficulty regulating his breath that is huffing seems not to accept the assumption of Abah.

"Dong Bah, good to say that. Tomorrow Athar will leave again. So Abah doesn't have to worry about our strength!"

"It's good then, we prove it tomorrow."

Abah patted Athar's shoulder and turned to look at his two brothers, "What about you?"

"Oh. yes obviously join dong Bah, this kind of work is very small for us, is it Dhan!"

"Well, dong Bah, cook me lose to both of them. His body is greater than mine" said Ardhan with his haughty style.

Hearing the enthusiasm of their younger brother Athar, where maybe Alan and Ardhan want to lose. It turns out that Athar's reaction was good also to instill the spirit of Alan and Ardhan.

"Well, great. This is just a hotshot Abah, meaning from tomorrow we leave in the morning!" Intentionally Abah again challenged the three to find out how willing they were to accept Abah Dullah's offer.

"Ha, Morning?" They are gaping together.

"Yes Lah, cook lunch. There will be no work tomorrow. So we better leave in the morning!"

Abah Dullah did not want to hear anything about their refusal, until immediately preceded the entrance to the car followed by the three with looks like abis tissue finished in use.

Arriving at his third house immediately greeted by their wives at the door.

"Darling, really big pegel back Yayang later incandescent ya!" Ardhan's no-nonsense whimper instantly spoiled on Dinda while showing the painful part.

"Yes, yeah, I'll go for a massage. Let's take a shower!"

Unlike Mayra who immediately wiped Alan's sweat with her palm. But Alan couldn't possibly complain considering Mayra's a hard-working woman.

"You're tired of Lan?"

"Little May, no need to worry about me!"

Both also passed in leaving Athar who was still helping Abah's driver to remove some of the items in the trunk of the car.

"Which, put it in that warehouse!" Athar's word to Abah's personal driver on items such as Parang and hoe.

"Yes Den."

Athar smiled as he walked towards Zena who was still waiting faithfully for him.

"Assalamualaikum, wife!" Suck it in a very sweet voice.

He must be able to put himself because the wife is a Muslim woman. Apart from that Athar actually does not know whether there is a sense of joy in the figure of Alzena. But from today, Athar wants to prove to the veiled woman that she is capable of taking responsibility for their lives.

The two went in hand to enter and before long Abah's voice was behind them.

"Assynn...!"

"Wa'allaikum sallam, " answered Abah's three wives together. They did the same thing as Zena to Abah Dullah in turns.

"Mak Yu, tonight is my ration, so let Abah take a bath in my room" said Mama Nilam mother of Ardhan.

"Oh yes please Lam, you must have been saved right, hehehe...!" Mimi Zulfa chuckled with her own chatter. That's how they get along so well in sharing one guy.

Mama Nilam immediately led Abah to the room, until it managed to attract the attention of Athar who was actually saddened by the fact.

If He had been born sooner than he should have been, surely the two women would not be a barrier to the togetherness of Abah and Mother Alika. So did Alan and Ardhan who had also deprived him of some of Abah Dullah's attention.

"Why Mas?" Zena asked who caught the mole in her husband's eyeball.

Athar did not answer and just walked into the room. But Zena won't let him alone.

"Is there something I'm thinking about right now?" Zena asked as she handed him the towel that she had pulled from the hanger.

"Why am I so disgusted to see Abah sharing affection with all three women in one house at the same time?" Ask Athar who needs an explanation for Alzena.

"Sorry, Zena doesn't know that. But a sincere wife in polygamy is surely the reward is a beautiful paradise from God" Zena replied as is.

"you mean? So you want me to do that too?" Athar made Zena unable to budge anymore.

"Why silence? Doesn't it hurt in the two?" Athar continued again with a slight belittling smile towards Zena.

"Mas, sorry Zena. But I have absolutely no right to give more answers. Because to be honest, all women are sure she was sick when her husband decided to marry again!"

"Well, you know what I'm thinking now. Mother Alika may look fine. But what about the tears that might every night have soaked his bed pillow. Surely he could only shed the pain that He had to hide in front of everyone so that no one would know the pain he felt!"

The young man gulped his saliva bitterly towards the dazed Zena before him. Honestly Zena herself does not know why also Abah put to his three wives in the same house. And every night they have to take turns doing things that are actually painful to discuss.

"Alright, then do not ever have the intention to do it Mas, because I am not necessarily as strong as Mother Alika if it happens," said Zena then as much as possible still widen his smile in front of Athar.

Athar pulled a slight corner of his lips without speaking a word then walked into the bathroom just like that, leaving AlZena trailing his movements with a sad look.

"Oh Allah, may Mas Athar not do strange things out there just because he was angry with Abah's attitude. But since I first came to this house, it seems that the three Abah Wives have not blamed anything. Even they were always chatting together," muttered Alzena alone.

What to say, after all, everything has passed for almost 27 years. But why Athar just had a problem with that in front of him.

Oh, God, why is Zena so worried? Hopefully, Mas Athar can control himself when Abah is making out with other wives in front of his eyes...

Instead of being confused himself, Zena decided to go to follow Athar to the bathroom to take ablution because soon Azan Maghrib will soon reverberate.
