Pitted Because of Will

DKW 5 - Unpleasant dinner

Day has turned into night. However, Nisa has not yet come out of her room. He also missed two hours of eating, lunch and dinner. The woman was still reluctant to get out of the room. Of course this makes Bima so worried about the state of the wife.

"Mas, Miss Nisa hasn't come out of her room since this afternoon?" ask Ayu. That shoulder-haired woman was getting unwell with her presence.

"Yet" replied Bima weakly.

Ayu was sitting right next to her husband. "Mas, if indeed Madam Nisa can't accept I'm the honeymoon, Mas can kok divorce me now."

Bima exhaled and looked at Ayu. The man who now has two wives clasps his young wife's hand. "Yu, besides I promised your late mother to take care of you, I promised Allah. So how could I possibly divorce you that easily."

"But, Mom, what about Miss Nisa? I don't want to hurt him, Mom. As a woman it is natural that she is very angry. I shouldn't have accepted your proposal in the first place, Mas."

"Don't talk like that, Yu! Our marriage took place with God's permission. So please be patient a little more. I will try to persuade Nisa so that she can accept this fate."

"But, Mum.... "

"Sst." Bima put her index finger on Ayu's lips. "Don't say anything else, let alone divorce. I promise I'll try to be a fair husband to both of you. Hm."

Although it still felt bad, Ayu nodded.

"Now that you also have to eat, I know that you haven't eaten since noon!" tell Bima.

"I.... "

"If you want to help ease my burden, you will not refuse to eat" said Bima.

"Alright, but, Mas Bima should also eat yes. Nor has Bima eaten." Ayu persuaded her husband to eat.

"alright. Let's eat."

Bima took his second wife to the dining room. She tells the housekeeper to prepare dinner for her and Ayu.

"Mommy, did you eat?" ask Ayu. He suddenly remembered with his father-in-law.

"It seems not yet, sir. You see Madam also did not come out of her room after chatting with Mr. Bima earlier," replied Bik Asih.

"How is this, Mum? Even because of our marriage, Mas Arya's mother also did not eat?" I am feeling more guilty.

"You don't worry, Mama's not against our marriage. He promised to help us persuade Nisa." Bima rubbed the back of Ayu's hand.

"How about after we eat, we split the task. You bring me dinner and I'll bring food for Nisa. You don't mind, do you?" asked Bima after expressing her idea.

"Yes, Mom, I agree."

"Well, then you're eating now."

"Mas dong too."

Ayu took the rice and put it on a plate owned by Bima. After that, he took food for himself.

"Mas Bima was the one who told me to eat, so Mas Bima dong who had to eat first."

Bima stared at the door of Nisa's room which was still closed. He remembered the habit of his wife who always waited for him to come home just to be able to eat together.

"Why are you dumb? I'm bribing ya?" ask Ayu.

Actually Bima also wants to do the same thing as Nisa. However, he also had another obligation to ensure his second wife to eat.

"Yeah!" Bima opened her mouth as Ayu fed her.

"I will eat alone" Bima refused when Ayu would feed her again.

"Yes, Mum."

Bima and Ayu continued their dinner despite feeling uneasy. Both of them occasionally sighed as if they wanted to relieve the discomfort.
