Look At Me Once

Truth

To calm the atmosphere, Abi Husein brought Alwi and Anisa to the living room followed by everyone. They were not reminded to fill their empty stomachs, Abi and Umi and Raiyan had not had time to fill their stomachs because it was not so breakfast outside.

Abi Husein demanded an explanation from his son. Alwi and Anisa tell everything from the beginning, from the request of Anisa on the grounds that she can not give children to her husband's family to the reason why Lathifa chose to leave their home.

After explaining the matter, Alwi was only able to lower his head. He did not dare to look at his father's face at all, although the middle-aged face did not show anger in the look of his face, Alwi was more afraid of the silence of the father.

“So ... In other words you accuse your wife of cheating?” abi Husein asked with a heavy voice, but Alwi just fell silent without daring to agree with his father's question.

“Abi is very disappointed with you, Al! Abi felt failed to educate abi children, Abi did not blame about you who are polygamous, because in religion we also allow it with the conditions that must be fulfilled.” Abi Husein breathed heavily.

“Have you fulfilled it, Al?” abi Husein asked, looking at Alwi sharply, and once again Alwi could only shake his head slowly, his mouth locked, unable to make his voice just to say yes or no.

“Having offspring in marriage is important, but the purpose of a marriage is not just about children.” Abi Husein gave advice to a young couple sitting in front of him.

Abi Husein did not blame anyone in this matter, he did not want to be rash and hasty in giving his judgment.

“Umi, forgive Anisa,” said Anisa slowly while approaching her mother-in-law who did not stop crying earlier.

Anisa sits right in front of her mother-in-law, and hugs Hanifa's umi knees. Tears that had dried up now he re-wetted the smooth cheeks Anisa.

“Do not blame Mas Alwi, Anisa who forced Mas Alwi to marry Lathifa, Umi,” said Anisa amid her crying.

“Honey, wake up!” Umi Hanifa led her daughter-in-law to sit next to her.

“You're innocent, that kid who's gone too far!” said Umi Hanifa glancing annoyedly at Alwi. He never taught his son to treat women badly, nor did he justify his son's actions.

"If you're not ready for polygamy, why agree to Anisa's request?"

“Umi, forgive Alwi, Umi!” Alwi also joined in front of his mother, he was very sorry for his actions. Not only one, even he managed to make the three precious female hearts in his life hurt simultaneously.

Umi Hanifa turned her face away, she could not see her son's face because she remembered the figure of Lathifa.

“Umi-”

“On what basis do you accuse your wife of cheating, Al?” ask Umi without looking at her son's face.

“Umi .. she's pregnant-”

“Then what's the problem?” cut Umi Hanifa feeling anxious.

“A-I never touched it, Umi.”

“You're wrong here, Alwi!” firmly Umi Hanifa fast “You as a husband who does not fulfill her rights as a wife!”

“U-umi ..” Alwi hung up his sentence, he realized that he was the guilty one. He did not deny it, but on the other hand Alwi also did not accept if his wife played fire behind him.

“You remember the incident that night?” Raiyan was silent for a moment giving Alwi time to remember the dark night.

“Are you sure Anisa treated your wounds?” asked Raiyan to make sure.

“Indeed Anisa who treated me, Rai,” replied Alwi sure.

Alwi and Raiyan stared at Anisa to ascertain the truth of Alwi's answer. While the parents only listen because they do not understand the direction of the conversation.

Anisa was silent because she was confused, she began to remember that night when she came home from out of town and found the state of her room that looked chaotic. “Yes, it is I who treat it.”

“Do you sleep with Anisa?” raiyan asked making all eyes look back at him.

“What do you mean?” alwi and Anisa asked at the same time.

“I suspected that night you were with Lathifa.” Raiyan paused his sentence, he stared one by one at the face in front of him making sure that he would not be wrong in speaking.

“You remember, didn't you, that morning I asked who treated you? Actually that night, before going home I asked Lathifa for help to take care of you.”

Alwi fell silent again remembering the events of that night, but unfortunately he could not remember anything.

“Are you sure Lathifa did not enter your room and also nothing happened ...” Raiyan did not continue his sentence, he did not dare to guess further.

“Mas!” call Anisa to disperse her husband's daydream.

“That night I came home around 3am,” he said restrained, he began to understand the situation. “And when I entered the room ...” Anisa regulates her breathing and also regulates the rumbling inside her chest.

“A-I came in and the room was a mess there was also a medicine box there .. and you don't wear clothes, Mas,” said Anisa stuck, her chest felt tight to imagine when her husband slept with another woman in their bed. However, Anisa is still a woman who does not escape from the basic nature of a woman, namely jealousy.

Everyone was astonished by Anisa's words, especially Alwi who felt slapped and realized his mistake.

“Where are you, Al?” abi Husein asked, seeing Alwi without saying anything immediately ran out leaving everyone who was still silent to digest what was happening before their eyes.

Alwi ignored his father's question, he continued to walk quickly out of the house.

“Pursue him, Rai!” umi Hanifa's orders fear that her son will do something to endanger her safety.

Raiyan quickly chased after Alwi, but Anisa immediately shouted to him.

“Wait, Rai! I'm coming!” exclaimed Anisa and ran after the two men.
