The sound of knocking on the door, made Zana's activity in the kitchen stop. He walked towards the exit with his limping footsteps as he walked. Zana wears her hijab before opening the door, so Hanu's message is that if guests come, men and women. Zana's smile instantly faded away when she opened the door____But smiled back, looking at the person who knocked on the door.
"Umma, Miss Aniya. "
Umma Sarah stared cynically at Zana.Sedang Aniya staring carelessly at the girl who unfortunately honey her husband.Zana bowed, not afraid but did not like to see the gaze of the two of them on her as probing.
"Where is Hanu?!" ask Aniya ketus.
"Mas Hanu is not here. It was back home Aniya Ma'am, " replied Zana politely. Even though it feels like replying with a more tighter speech. But he had to respect Aniya who was older than him.
"You don't lie, Zana! Mas Hanu there's no coming home to me! Mas Hanu must be here, you must be hiding Hanu! "tuding Aniya with glaring eyes.
Zana shook her head, refuting Aniya's accusation to her.
"I'm not hiding Hanu's mas? And why would I do that. Mas Hanu said he went home this morning to Aniya's house. And there's no point in me hiding Hanu's mas! "said Zana slightly leaving her voice.
"You.don't lie to Zana!If Hanu goes back to Aniya's house, there's no way we're looking here!"umma Sarah said cynically.
"Side I want in!And check yourself into your home . You could be lying, ", said Aniya encouraging Zana to stay away from the door.
"Take care of your attitude! " zana snapped pushing back Aniya who almost toppled over.
"This is my house! No one can enter my house unless, I've allowed it. Be polite when you want to enter someone else's house," continued Zana angry.
Plaque!
Umma Sarah directly slapped the rough Zana. Made the girl's cheek slam to the side.
"So, what you say, Zana!It is up to us to enter this house, without having to ask permission from you! After all this house was bought with Hanu money and that means this also belongs to Aniya!And you must remember, you are only the second wife who is lower than Aniya who is the first wife!"amma said full of emphasis.
While Zana was still holding her right cheek with tears slowly dripping down. It was not this slap that made her cry but the words of Umm Sarah that hurt her heart so much. Is it wrong to be a second wife? After all, this is not his desire to establish a marriage relationship with Hanu as a second wife.Why should be compared with the first wife with the second. What is as low and dangerous as it is to be a second wife. If she could ask God, she would not be a second wife, a relationship that always bore wounds in the heart and tightness in the chest.
" Come Aniya let's get out of here. There was no point in asking this girl, "Umma Sarah and Aniya immediately left Zana standing, sculpting.
Brak!
Zana directly slammed the door violently .He immediately took off the hijab that wrapped his head and threw it in any direction. His heart was so broken and sick. They always accuse and say bad things to him. It was as if Aniya' was the one who suffered the most in this polygamous relationship. While they forget about him who suffered many times more. Every day must hear insults, scorn and bad words addressed to him by the village people.
" Why should my life be covered with suffering? I also want to feel happiness like everyone else!"Zana was crying sobbing. Until his chest was so tight and it was hard to breathe.

Aniya who just stepped her feet into the house immediately stopped.She was surprised to see Hanu sitting on the living room sofa, while sipping coffee. Umma Sarah who just entered the house is also as surprised as Aniya.
"Where are you guys from? "asked Hanu with furrowed brows looking at the expression to the surprise of the two.
"Mas, where did you come from? " Aniya immediately approached Hanu and sat down next to her husband. Umm Sarah chose to go to the kitchen to quench her thirst, after just returning from Zana's house, on foot.
"I just got home from the farm. A customer ordered a cow. So after returning home Zana went straight to the farm. Where are you from yourself? I'm looking around, there's nothing at home, there's only Abah at home. And Abah also did not know where you were going, "Hanu looked at Aniya, waiting for the wife's answer.
Aniya stared in the other direction with a thumping heart. Fear began to envelop him. How should he answer Hanu's questions. There's no way she's being honest, there's a mas Hanu will be mad at her.
"I-iya, Mom. I-I'm fine, "Aniya answered nervously, bowed down.
The woman gasped as the back of Hanu's hand stuck to her forehead. Making her look at her husband to meet Hanu's brown netra.
"You're sick Aniya? Why are you sweating coldly.and your face looks so pale like this, " Hanu said.
"No, I'm not sick, Mom. I'll go back first."Aniya immediately got up from her seat and walked quickly to the kitchen. Luckily Hanu was unsuspecting.
While Hanu smiled, recalling her struggle with Zana last night.She again sipped her coffee.
" Zana, "murmurm Hanu. In his mind at this time was his second wife, who managed to seize his heart and mind.
*******
Aniya was shocked when her hand was pulled by Umma Sarah who immediately took her to the kitchen, where she cooked.
" Aniya you didn't say we're new from Zana' right? "asked Umm Sarah staring around scared when anyone heard the conversation the two of them especially Hanu.
Aniya shook her head, "No Umma. Hanu asked where we were from. But lucky I was able to avoid Hanu's question. I'm afraid that Hanu is angry, especially Umma is rude to Zana, "said Aniya who looks scared, afraid if mas Hanu knows .
" I hope Zana doesn't complain about both of us . It could have been later that the girl complained to Hanu and exaggerated it. A girl like Zana is very dangerous, she has not yet revealed her true nature" Umma Sarah and Aniya nodded.

"It was painful, "sizzled Zana who just came out of the bathroom. He just peed and it was painful.
Zana's eyes stared at the wall clock that showed at 5 pm.She felt lonely, especially tonight Aniya's ration with Hanu. Zana exhaled a rough breath.She held her right cheek that was still painful.
"Until when should I be slapped and accused of a mistake that I have never done." murmured Zana lirih.

The sound of knocking on the door made Zana's attention diverted. The smile on the girl's lips, it must be Hanu. Straight away in a hurry to limp, he put his hijab back on and opened the door.
Ujang stood in front of the door. Tapan Zana dimmed white plastic he thought it was Hanu was not. The girl smiled smirkily.
"This is Juragan Hanu telling me to give food to Neng Zana. He said he could not drive straight here because he was leaving with Aniya, "Ujang gave to Zana who seemed not excited.
Zana smiled thinly, more precisely a forced smile.
"Thank you, " said Zana slowly.
"That's why her cheek, bruised? " ask Ujang who had noticed Zana's right cheek.
"No pa-pa, this has fallen out, "answered Zana who chose to enter the house.
Ujang took out a Nokia-branded phone in his pocket. And write a message to Hanu.
