Pitted Because of Will

DKW 12 - Hardness of sincerity

He looked at the person who called him. She can't believe she finally met her only surviving family. Yes, he is Aunt Meta, the younger brother of Ayu's late mother.

"Tante, Ayu is happy to see Auntie." Ayu hugged her tant. "How are things, Auntie now? Why does Aunt never visit my mom again in Bandung?"

"Sorry, Aunt, Yu. Since Mas Danu divorced Aunt, the financial condition of Aunt Morat-marit. Let alone to go home to Bandung for daily meals just aunty difficulties," replied Tante Meta.

"Astaghfirullah, Aunt. Why are Auntie and Om Danu getting divorced? As far as Ayu is concerned, you two are in love with each other?"

"Long, Yu, if told. Why are you in Jakarta yourself? How's your mom doing? Who would take care of him if you were here?" Aunt Meta showered Ayu with all kinds of questions.

"Mother passed away Aunt, 3 months ago."

"Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi. Sorry auntie, Yu. Aunt doesn't know your mother's dead."

"It's okay, Auntie. Thank God, Ayu has sincerely accepted the departure of mother."

Once again Meta hugged his nephew. "Why did you get to Jakarta? Do you work in this city now?"

Ayu looked at Nisa awkwardly. He did not know what kind of answer to his aunt.

"Who will he be, Yu?" Now Aunt Meta also asked the woman standing next to her nephew.

"Nisa's mother's name, Tan. Now I live with Ms. Nisa in this city" Ayu replied. It was not time for Ayu to tell the Aunt that she was now married and became the second wife of someone.

Meta invites Nisa to greet and of course welcomed by the hijab woman.

"Meta. It's nice to meet you. Hopefully my nephew can work well in your home" said Aunt Meta. He thought that his nephew was working at the woman's house.

"But, Ayu is not.... "

"Tante, we'll see you here sometime. Now Ayu go home first. Excuse me." Cut Ayu before Nisa finishes her sentence. She immediately pulled the hand of the first wife of her husband leaving Aunt Meta.

"I don't want Aunt to think like Ma'am. Surely Aunt Meta will be angry if you know now I am a second wife," Ayu replied in a sad tone. "Since the past Tanteku always had the principle that until anytime he would not be willing to live polygamy. No matter how happy a polygamous life may be, there will be those who will be hurt."

"And that's how I feel." Nisa's answer forced Ayu to stare at her.

"Mr.... "

"I'm kidding" said Nisa. The woman showed her sweet smile to Ayu. "Sir we're home now!" tell Nisa to her personal driver.

"Yes, Him."

The white pajero began walking away from the mall's parking area, splitting the capital's increasingly crowded streets with vehicles. The density of vehicles that are not offset by the expansion of the road makes the city with the title of metropolitan city that often experience severe traffic especially in working hours. No one started talking between the two wives, both of them were both silent in their minds until finally the car they were riding in arrived in the yard of a house.

Both wives got out of the car. Lowering groceries with the help of the driver.

"I'm sorry, yeah, Yu. I didn't mean to offend you just now" said Nisa. She had already decided to accept the woman as her honey and she should no longer mention how ill she had been inflicted.

"It's okay, Ma'am. I really understand. Whatever the pain is in the two, the pain is still there."

"I'm sorry again, Yu."

Ayu nodded.

"But take all the groceries to the kitchen, I'll just go straight to the room."

"Sir is okay?" ask Ayu worriedly.

"Just exhausted. I went straight to my room."

Nisa leaves Ayu and the driver with their groceries. Just this morning he had tried not to dispute Ayu's existence and was determined to consider the woman like his sister. But, just now he even returned to insinuate Ayu who was considered to have hurt his heart.

"Oh Allah, I have decided to accept this. But why sometimes the heart still does not feel sincere, O God," inner Nisa.
