Pitted Because of Will

DKW 14 - Suggestions

Coming home from dinner, Bima and Ayu immediately brought Aunt Meta home and of course it made Nisa surprised.

"Mas, what exactly do you think of me?" nisa asked with a slight restraining of her anger.

"What do you mean, Nis?"

"When you married Ayu, you didn't ask permission from me and now? You brought his aunt Ayu home also did not permit me first. So, what do you think I am, Mom? The statue?" Nisa was no longer able to hold back her anger.

"Nis, don't be so loud! Ayu and her aunt are still in the living room, how would they feel if they heard these words of yours?"

"Mas! I'm your wife, why can't you appreciate my feelings too? Why do you think only the feelings of Ayu and her aunt? Why don't you think about how I feel, Mom?"

"Nis, but this is an emergency. Ayu's aunt was a widow, she had no one but Ayu. You don't pity her?"

"Astaghfirullah hal adzim Mas. I feel sorry for him too. But, helping does not mean having to bring him home too, right? You can help him pay his rent for the cake, give him a job at your firm's cake, but don't bring him home." Nisa breathed a rough breath, it felt like she already did not know what else to say to make her husband understand her feelings.

"Sorry, Nis. I didn't think about it until then. My only intention is to help Ayu, that's all. So, now how's the decision? You don't want Ayu to live here?" ask Bima again.

"I'm sure even if I said no, you wouldn't say that to them, so it's up to you, Mas" replied Nisa.

"Miss.... "

"I'm tired, Mas. Take a break." No longer wanting to argue with her husband, Nisa chose to lay her body on the bed. She no longer cared about the decision her husband would make, but her opinion was never heard by her husband again.

"I'm out to meet Ayu's aunt first yeah, I'll give you a massage."

"No need. Tonight I want to sleep alone, Mas can sleep in Ayu's room" Nisa cut.

"Miss.... "

"Don't forget to close the door when you get out!" tell Nisa without caring about Bima's whining. The woman, who is five months pregnant, chose to calm down for the sake of her peace of mind.

"Yes, I'm meeting them now. If you need anything don't hesitate to tell me."

Nisa did not answer.

"Happy break, baby." After saying that, Bima came out from his first wife's room.

"You've changed, Mom. Now you never care about how I feel anymore when I'm pregnant with your child," muttered Nisa while rubbing her belly which had begun to look bloated.

Ayu immediately approached her husband when she saw Bima had just come out of his first wife's room.

"How, Mom, Miss Nisa gave Aunty Meta permission to stay here?" ask Ayu.

"Bak Nisa mind, huh, Mom? He's angry, isn't he?" asked Ayu again when she saw the expression on her husband's face.

"No, he doesn't mind," Bima replied lying, he didn't want to make his second wife feel bad.

"Don't you think Miss Nisa wouldn't mind Aunt Meta staying here with us?" tanya Ayu made sure.

"Yes, honey, really."

Ayu immediately hugged her husband. "Alhamdulillah then. But, why didn't Madam Nisa leave the room, Mas?" Ayu looked up at her husband's face.

"He's not feeling well. You know yourself, right if pregnant women are more easily tired than women in general?"

"Yes, Mom, I understand. Ma'am Nisa Ngizinin Aunt Meta just stay here I'm very grateful."

"Yes, Mas. Once again thank you for wanting to ngizinin Aunt Meta to stay here. Thank you very much" said Ayu. Bima nodded.

"Come on Auntie, I'll take you to the guest room on the second floor!" Ayu took her aunt up to the second floor.

***

"Well, now this is Aunt's room. May Aunt stay here" Ayu said as she and her aunt arrived at the guest room.

Aunty looked around the room. The room looks quite large and luxurious with a medium-sized bed and a closet made of teak wood with luxurious carvings.

"Where does Auntie like her room?"

"Like" replied Aunt Meta. The woman then sat on the edge of the bed. "Yes."

"Yes, Aunt."

"Did the Milky Way always behave like you?"

"What auntie mean?" ask Ayu who does not understand the meaning of the tantenya speech.

"I mean Auntie, everything should always ask her first wife for permission."

"Yes, Aunt. We just don't want to make Nisa feel unappreciated."

"But your status and Nisa's the same. You are both his wife Bima, you should also have the same right to bring anyone to stay without having to ask permission first. The effect is that you are like the love of Bima alone. You are also his legal wife."

Ayu.

"Or maybe Bima just married you in series?" guess Aunt Ayu.

Ayu answered him with a nod.

"The first wife of your husband's order was powerful. Yu, Auntie suggests you ask Bima to marry you officially. So, your status will be equally strong in the eyes of the law and the Nisa is not arbitrarily the same as you," said Tante Meta excitedly.

"I mean Aunt I should ask Mas Bima to legalize our marriage?"

"Well, so you and Nisa have the same rights legally. If your status is still a serial wife, when Bima is bored with you or you do something that Bima does not like, Bima can divorce you easily and you can not demand the treasure gono gini from the Bima."

Ayu was silent again. He thought about the words his aunt had spoken just now.

"But, Aunt. I don't want to make Miss Nisa sad anymore. When I knew Mas Bima married just like me, he was already very hurt because we married without his permission. If suddenly I ask to be married officially, surely Nisa will be even more sad, Tan. I don't want to hurt Madam Nisa who is already good with me," said Ayu.

"That's just advice from aunty alone, thankfully accepted is also okay. Auntie just wants what's best for you."

"This is Allah, this is the best, Tan."

"It's up to you."

"Tante rest first yeah, Ayu out now. Good night Aunt, good rest."

"Yes, good night too" replied Aunt Meta.

Ayu stepped out of her tant room.

"Yu, Yu, given the advice that really does not want to," muttered Aunt Meta while shaking her head.
