"I realized, I was the one who was present in the middle of the relationship mas Hika and Zahira. I can't force Mas Hika to love me even though I'm already his wife. I also can't force Mas Hika to leave Zahira just like that. But anyway, in anyone's point of view, mas Hika is not good if you have to run a relationship with any woman at the same time with her marriage," qiya said among the do'a in the third of the night.
"I am the legal wife of Mas Hika, and I am obliged to fulfill my duties as her wife. I'm not asking for his confession, but I'll serve Mas Hika as I should. Help me, God .."
Qiya closed her do'a tonight. She took off her mukena and returned to wearing an instant veil. After folding the face pinned in the prayer mat, Qiya again laid her body on the bed. Look at the empty ceiling.
He remembered Hika's conversation with Zahira on the phone. Zahira will come to the house. She wondered what her husband would do to cover up his status.

At six in the morning, Qiya had already finished preparing breakfast for her husband. Bi Iyam who felt that one job was lost so she felt disinclined.
"By the aunt who prepared breakfast for non-same Den Hika. Aunty is not feeling well" said the middle-aged woman.
"What's up, bi. This includes my duties as well as his wife Mas Hika" Qiya replied.
"Oh yes already that, aunty stay ahead first yes, non. Want to sweep the page, aunty forgot not yet sapuin," said bi Iyam.
"Wait, bi!" prevent Qiya as she remembered something.
"Yes, non. What's up?"
"Mr .." Qiya was a little awkward to ask him. "How long has the aunt been working here?"
"Previous aunt works at her parents' house Den Hika, non. But a year ago Den Hika bought his own house, his Mother Den Hika asked aunt to work here, because it happened that his parents Den Hika would have ART two, because it happened, auntie sama bi Arsih. Bibi di moved in here, while bi Arsih remained there," explained bi Iyam was nodded by Qiya.
"Oh so yeah, bi. Means aunt knows dong that mas Hika had a girlfriend before my same marriage?"
Bi Iyam instantly fell silent, it seemed like the woman was feeling bad.
"It's okay, bi. Honestly, I know it too. I just don't know what Hika's boyfriend looks like. His name is Zahira, right?"
Bi Iyam nodded. "Rubber, non. Before marrying non Qiya, Den Hika has been dating non Zahira for a long time."
Qiya let out a long breath. "Zahira if I may know what if according to bi Iyam?" qiya asked curiously.
"Non Zahira is kind, friendly, like non Qiya. In terms of appearance, non Zahira also likes to wear clothes and hijab like non Qiya gini."
Hearing the story from bi Iyam, Qiya felt a little insecure. He thought that Zahira might be much better than him, so it was appropriate that Hika loved her so much.
"Then aunt wants to turn over page first yes, non," said bi Iyam disperse Qiya from all daydreams.
After bi Iyam left, Qiya intended to go to Hika's room, taking her husband for breakfast. But urung as soon as the man showed his nose first.
"Mas Hika's. I just went to the bathroom to bring breakfast. Come sit down, mom!"
Qiya pulled one of the chairs for her husband, but it came to a halt as the man opened his voice.
"Clearly again Zahira wants to come, you can be ready to go. It's up to you to go where. Don't come home before Zahira leaves!"
Every sentence that came out of Hika's mouth, it was painful. But Qiya must not cry and give up just like that, she must be able to prove to her husband that she is strong, not as weak as Hika thinks.
Qiya put on a smile, trying to look fine and did not mind it.
"Yes, mas. But you have breakfast first, yeah."
Qiya pulled the chair and invited Hika to sit there.
Qiya's answer made Hika frown, she thought Qiya would come back crying and then make a drama.
"He can be that calm, huh?" inner Hika.
"Nus .." Qiya resuscitated her from the daydream, the woman circulated her face giving a code for her to sit down immediately.
"Yes." Yeah."
Hika sat there. Qiya eagerly served the breakfast menu on Hika's plate. It made Hika feel a little surprised.
Breakfast for this morning Qiya made a sandwich bread with mayonnaise in it. Once if you bite the sandwich, automatically the mayonnaise in it is attached to the edge of his mouth.
Seeing that Qiya swiftly picked up the tissue available there. He used it to clean Hika's mouth.
"I'm sorry, ma'am," said Qiya then slowly wiping Hika's mouth.
Hika's face immediately stiffened, as Qiya was that close to her. Especially when Qiya threw a smile that made her feel nervous and misbehaved.
Hika brushed off Qiya's hand slowly. "I can do it myself" he said.
Qiya pulled her hand at the cold words of her husband. However, he was very happy because he was able to fight his courage. After this, he will try to do other things again so that Hika can open her heart to him.
