Zahra smiled with satisfaction at how difficult Adam was in caring for the hearts of his two wives, being fair in the treatment between Jihan and Zahra, feeling very satisfied when he saw how the reddened face of Jihan withstood the resentment.
The dinner held at the house of Joseph went well, although with drama carried out by Adam's two wives, but could not make Zahra keep pranking Jihan all out.
After sitting around for a while in the living room, shortly after the sound of the adhan rumbles, the atmosphere becomes silent when the sound of the Adhan is heard.
"Alhamdulillah adzan salat insya has been in kumandangkan, we should pray together congregation will be better" said Mr. Yusuf.
Hearing the words of Mr. Joseph, everyone just nodded affirming the words of sir Joseph. sir Joseph immediately got up from his seat, he said, he took his feet to the bathroom next to their stairs to wash and take ablution water.
Adam was with his mother and his wife, and Jihan's eyes occasionally glanced at Zahra when her husband's first wife was speaking, not knowing that Jihan was watching him, but Zahra ignored Jihan's setting towards her.
"What about Ayesha's condition, dear?" ask Miss Ratna.
Hearing the question, Zahra's facial expression immediately changed even with a forced smile, she could not hide her feelings, if it was about the discussion about Aisyah.
"Don't know mah, Aisyah's condition for now can't be said to be fine, after doing her first chemotherapy, Aisyah's hair often falls out sickly, Zahra is very sorry to see Aisyah, Zahra is very sorry, if only Ayesha's disease could be transferred to Zahara."
Zahra threw her face away, she could not imagine her daughter's situation now, the days that Aisyah went through were very heavy, where the pale face always said that he was fine with a weak smile.
"God, my mother knows and feels what you feel now Zahra, you are a strong woman dear, when your daughter is sick like this you are...." ratna stopped looking at Adam and Jihan alternating.
Buk Ratna wiped away her tears, unable to continue her words anymore, just imagining Zahra's current position of pain was overwhelming, and one of the causes felt by her current daughter-in-law, was, caused directly by his only son.
"This is the destiny that Zahra had to go through mah, this destiny has followed Zahra since the time of Azali, this is the destiny that Zahra chose, the test that God gave only a test for Zahra."
Adam was wrong when he heard the words of the two women who loved so well, he knew yes was wrong, yes that caused Zahra heartache, yes who put Jihan into their marriage, he said, and Adam tried to correct all the wrongs he had done.
And so did Jihan, when she heard the words that came out of Zahra's mouth, she felt she had become such a wicked woman, for having taken away the father from a daughter who was fighting her illness.
"O Allah, am I guilty of loving Adam, if it is my fault why did you put that love into my heart, so that I could not see if it was right or wrong.
If this is wrong, then O God strengthen my heart, show me which way his heart, when he saw that Adam put Zahra above him, but the guilt in Jihan's heart was more dominant.
Before long the bathroom door opened, Joseph came out with water dripping on his face, a sign that he had been sanctified and took ablution water.
"Berwudhu is. papa wait for you at the mushola."
"Good reward." replied Adam.
After taking Zahra's ablution water straight out from inside the bathroom, when opening the bathroom door Jihan's face that she first saw, was, Jihan stood right in front of the bathroom door with a sweet smile that she gave to Zahra.
Zahra returned only a little with that sweet smile, but not Zahra's smile, because it had taken her paradise, that smile that has taken away an Adam who was once her husband who had one wife.
Zahra immediately stepped out of the bathroom past Jihan's body without a word, towards the mosque inside the house.
After everything was ready Adam immediately advanced a little forward, echoing the sign that Adam will lead the congregation prayer.
Zahra glanced at Jihan standing beside her, again the sweet smile that Jihan gave to Zahra, which Zahra again ignored.
Not long after the voice of takber was spoken from the mouth of Adam who stood in front as a priest, everyone immediately followed Adam to perform prayers insya.
After the end of the greeting, Zahra raised his hand to pray, in the hope that God might ease his every step and path, in order to achieve the Godly riddho he hoped for.
Everyone shakes hands with Jihan and shakes hands with Zahra, "I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've done" Jihan said in a soft voice only heard by Zahra.
"Mistakes and sins are easily forgiven, but a hurt heart is very difficult to heal, as broken glass will never be fused like Jihan, and you have not seduced me to achieve my sincerity towards you Jihan" Zahra said softly and only the two of them listened to her.
After that Zahra immediately folded the mukena and prayer rugs he used for prayer, as well as Ms Ratna and Jihan who wanted to leave the mosque after praying.
" Adam sit down, there is something you want to tell you" said Mr. Joseph when he saw Adam also wanted to leave this mosque, Adam turned his body to face his father.
" What did you want to tell Adam?."
"Sit down first." Adam immediately sat down before his father, but Joseph was silent, he did not say a word, until a few moments heard the sound of a deep breath from Mr. Joseph.
"For you my son Adam, as a father, my father tells you, understand the woman. When he is jealous, he wants to be the best in your life, when he is silent... it means you want to understand the state of his heart, when he smiles then he loves you."
