Pitted Because of Will

DKW 10 - Living Side by Side

It has been almost three months Nisa and Ayu can coexist. Although far from familiar words at least the two women who have the status of wife Bima was trying to live in harmony and mutual respect. In order to maintain that harmony, Bima has arranged a schedule for himself and his two wives fairly. Three days a week Bima will sleep in Nisa's room and the next three days she will sleep in Ayu's room. And one night left of that week, Bima will sleep in her study, she does not want to look next to her.

Even so at certain times, Bima will spoil Nisa more because of the condition of the woman who is pregnant. Fortunately Ayu is also the type of wife who is understanding, the woman who has the status as the second wife of Bima does not dispute it.

That afternoon Nisa and Ayu were both in the kitchen to prepare lunch. While cooking Nisa starts to tell what things Bima likes and dislikes, not because Nisa wants to give up her responsibilities to Ayu. Wasn't it! But as a woman who is also Bima's wife, Nisa just wants Ayu to know all about their husband.

"How do you understand, right?" nisa asked as soon as she finished explaining.

"Yes, Mother. I just found out that Mas Bima was not so fond of sweet drinks deserve the time I made Mas Bima sweet tea, he spent the tea with a forced face," continued Ayu.

"How much did you give him?"

"Two full spoons, Ma'am. You see, the late father loved a very sweet drink. If the sugar dose I am lacking a little, you immediately protest. So, I guess Mas Bima is the same, too" Ayu replied. His face turned sad when he remembered his late father.

Nisa rubbed Ayu's shoulder slowly. "You must really love your father, huh?"

Ayu nodded. "Very, Ma'am. He was my first love. Unfortunately before I managed to become a successful person you have been hunted to death," replied Ayu. He then exhaled a long breath. "I heard from Mas Bima he said Mbak Nisa has always been an outstanding student in school even to college. Mba Nisa's parents must be very proud of Nisa's mother."

Nisa's hand that had been rubbing Ayu's back suddenly stopped.

"What's up, Ma'am?" ask Ayu.

"I think Nisa's life is much more perfect than my life is the same. I realized that every human being always has their own tests. And gratitude is the way we value all of His gifts." Ayu looked at Nisa both then smiled.

Only this time did Nisa and Ayu feel more familiar, understanding each other.

"Sir, it turns out the ingredients in the refrigerator are exhausted, only meat and broccoli stay." Ayu showed the two ingredients to Nisa.

"Yes already. Later in the day we buy all the kitchen needs together."

Ayu looked at the woman who became the first wife of her husband questioningly. Not usually the woman would take him. "Mak Nisa seriously want me to buy kitchen needs?" ask Ayu. He wanted to make sure he didn't hear wrong.

"Seriously, Yu. In any case, if my gestational age is getting bigger, you are not the one who has to take care of everything" replied Nisa.

"I hope you can start learning from now on."

"Yes, Ma'am," Ayu replied while nodding. Ayu felt quite happy because she could finally participate in their household affairs.

"Well, mama's happy to see you guys like this." Vena who had just come was happy because her two daughters-in-law looked increasingly familiar. "May you two stay like this forever."

Nisa and Ayu looked at each other, a few seconds later they both smiled and nodded.
