"So you want to stop working?" hana asked as Meizia told her about what her mother-in-law had said.
"Actually I'm still confused, Han, if for example I don't work, what should I do all day at home?"
"Many, many" Hana answered spontaneously. "Your mother-in-law can be said to be a Nyai, she always has activities, studies where - anywhere, even can get out of town. Often also invited to various events," concluded Hana at length. "So, if you stop working, you will not only be unemployed at home because you can join aunt Nayla."
"Truly," murmured Meizia. "Yesterday alone Ummi was not home, he went with Abi, today also said there is an event."
"And for sure, the event they went to was not just a gathering and gossip, Meizia." Hana added. "If not study, lecture, it is usual to be a study congregation. That's just their activity."
"You know a lot about them, Han, it's worth it that they want to match you up with Ameer."
There was a bitter tone in Meizia's voice, as if she was again feeling inferior to Hana.
"I'm their daughter," hana chuckled. "So of course I know what my family is like, and about the matchmaking, they just think we fit in because since I and Ameer were close. That's it, Meizia, your Ameer."
Meizia smiled faintly at Hana's words. "What if Ameer were yours, Hana? Are you gonna be happy?"
Hannah was surprised to hear the question posed by Meizia, as well as Meizia. He had no idea why such a question escaped his lips.
Suddenly the atmosphere became a little awkward until Ameer arrived to pick up the Wife because the day was already afternoon.
"It's over, honey?" ask Ameer.
"Hem." Meizia just muttered, she immediately pulled her bag. "I go home first, Hana," said Meizia.
"Be careful on the road" Hana said as she threw a stiff smile.
Ameer realized that. "What's wrong?" ameer whispered as they were already away from Hana. "You guys look awkward, is there a problem?"
"So I accidentally asked a question that might be silly" Meizia said.
"What question, dear?"
"I asked what if you belonged to Hana, not to me."
"Meizia, why are you asking that?"
Ameer does not like to hear the words of his wife. "I don't know," Meizia answered honestly.
"Ck, next time don't repeat." Ameer warned firmly. "I love you and I love Hana as my sister, I don't want you both to be sick because of me."
Meizia simply nodded with a faint smile, although she still wondered how could the question just appear.
Meanwhile, Hana could only smile thinly while shaking her head in light of Meizia's question. Although he actually had time to wonder, what if Ameer became his? Of course Hana will feel very happy.
Riana's voice surprised Hana enough, even to the point of making the woman's heart beat fast. "Astagfirullah, Ma'am!" hana was upset.
"Back, yuk. It was late afternoon," asked Riana who was only answered by nodding her head by Hana.

Meizia was still thinking about her mother-in-law's advice to stop working, she also remembered the man who came to her at the restaurant. Meizia believes that sooner or later something similar will happen again. Now he has decided to stay home. To avoid people who might recognize her, also to multiply learning religious knowledge with her mother-in-law.
"Tonight Abi and Umiu will not go home" said Ameer as he crawled up onto the bed.
"Where are they going?" meizia asked curiously, especially since they reached home, the house was indeed quiet.
"Out of town, he said suddenly. So maybe we'll be home tomorrow or the day after." Meizia nodded in understanding.
Ameer placed her head on the lap of Meizia who was currently sitting leaning against the head of the bed. Meizia greeted the husband with a warm smile, even rubbing Ameer's head gently.
"Ameer, I want to say something" Meizia said.
"Tell me, honey" said Ameer, now closing her eyes, enjoying the touch of her hand.
"I'm going to stop working" Meizia said, prompting Ameer to open her eyes.
"Why?" ask Ameer curiously.
"Now that I am your wife, I want to spend time with you and study religion. Follow the Ummi study, what can it be?" Meizia looked at Ameer expectantly. "I was very late to study religion, so now I want to maximize my time to study."
"It's also a good idea" Ameer said. Her husband's answer was of course to make Meizia immediately smile sumringah. "But I don't want you to come with Ummi if you go out of town, like now. I don't want to be left by my wife."
Meizia gave a small laugh at Ameer's request. "No, I won't go anywhere if you won't."
"Good, that's how it should be."
Meizia lowered her head and ventured to give a warm kiss on Ameer's forehead. "I love you" Meizia said with a deep look.
"I love you too, dear," Ameer replied. "Can we do it one more time? I think Ummi and Abi will be happy if there's a baby soon."
Meizia's face immediately blushed at Ameer's words, and of course she could not refuse even though she could not answer yes. Meizia was too embarrassed to answer such a question.
"Can, no?" urged Ameer.
"I belong to you" Meizia replied. "Just do what you want, honey." He said shyly. "You deserve to have without asking."
