When tahajud time alarm arrives. Fatih wakes up Mentari, for congregational prayers. He went to Zahra's room. He saw his wife's face that was swollen from crying. Fatih felt guilty for Zahra. Yesterday while sleeping with Zahra, Mentari was crying in her room. Last night Fatih slept with Mentari, it was Zahra's turn to cry.
Fatih is so wrong, if the emotions of his two wives again labile like this. He kissed Zahra's forehead, so that his wife would wake up. As Zahra opened her eyes and saw there was Fatih in front of her with her typical warm smile. Zahra hugged her husband's body.
One kiss of Zahra, landed on her husband's lips. Fatih also replied. Once satisfied, Fatih invites Zahra wake up and pray tahajud congregation.
Fatih and his two wives spent time together until the dawn of Adhan reverberated. Fatih and the other men congregated to the mosque. While the women congregate at home.

As usual Mentari likes to make fruit salad. She and Zahra cut fruits, they chatted and often interspersed with laughter. Aurora and Sinar were happy when they saw that Fatih's two wives were not as stiff and as scared as yesterday.
Ummi walked into the spacious dining room and luxurious interior decoration. He saw Zahra chopping apples on the table.
"Zahrah! What the hell are you doing? You should rest, don't work like this. Not many helpers! You as their young mistress, there should be no need to do any work. Why are they on the paycheck if the Lady House is still working," said Mirna and it made Aurora and some of the servants who were working there, offended.
"It's okay, Ummi. It's just light work. Zahra likes to do this rather than having to sit in the room," Zahra replied gently.
"Zahra what Ummi you say is true. You should rest, if there is anything later, we will also get angry," Aurora said in a soft but insinuating tone. Aurora takes a fruit knife from Zahra's hand. Aurora asks one of the servants there to help Mentari, finishing cutting the fruits that will be made for stock.
Zahra looked disappointedly at Mirna. She finally went to her room, and locked it. A roaring cry came back in the luxurious room on the second floor.

Fatih who just returned from the mosque with his father and his two in-laws. They returned home a bit unfortunate because it was in the mosque, had talked first with the administrators of DKM. Until they forget time.
Fatih looked at Mentari, who was compiling plastic boxes containing fruit salad that he had just finished making. To be eaten later in the day or afternoon and evening. Anyone who wants to eat it. Not infrequently also the waiters like the fruit salad made by Mentari.
"My lovely, is it done?" fatih asked while hugging Mentari from behind because his wife was still arranging the plastic boxes to be neatly arranged.
"Alhamdulillah, it's Mas."
"To the room, yuk! While waiting for breakfast time," invite Fatih in a friendly whisper.
"Mas, look at Zahra first! It seemed like she looked sad," told Mentari to her husband, she actually knew that Zahra must have been crying because her eyes were already glazed over and her puddles were also visible.

Fatih came to his room on the second floor. Now Fatih and Zahra were sitting on the balcony of the room. While enjoying the atmosphere of the morning with fresh air and sunlight that began to warm.
Zahra sat on Fatih's lap and leaned her head against her husband's chest, listening to a quiet heartbeat. Fatih was silent and rubbed his wife's back, while listening to Zahra's outpouring of heart which was often made difficult by his mother. He felt that his mother had changed. Zahra missed her mother when she was a child.
Fatih can only advise and wish Zahra all the best. Zahra now felt calm, even happy. He asked for breakfast in his room. Because still upset with Mirna's attitude. Fatih allowed it.
"So, is that okay?!" Zahra's eyes twinkled.
"Yes, Honey. Would you like to eat in your room or on the balcony?" Fatih stroked Zahra's head wrapped in a headscarf.
"Here you go" Zahra replied with a smile of happiness on her increasingly thin face.
"OKAY. Then have the waiter bring her breakfast here!" Fatih put on her warm smile.
"No three, plus a Mentari?" fatih asked, raising one eyebrow.
"Hm." Zahra shook her head.
"Well, if that's what you want" Fatih kissed Zahra's forehead, before she called the kitchen, to deliver breakfast for her and Zahra.
Zahra was very happy to spend her morning with Fatih, just alone. Like before when Fatih was not polygamous. Zahra also imitated what Mentari did to Fatih, which is to seduce with his wrestling. At first Fatih was surprised, but then followed what Zahra wanted. Fatih appreciated his first wife's efforts. In order to make a laugh and a happy smile for Zahra, Fatih will do whatever it takes.
Zahra really monopolized Fatih that morning. He did not waste the time he had, even they took a bath together. Zahra also drove Fatih into the car. Zahra's hot kiss gave Fatih, and Mentari saw it.

Zahra decided to read a book she had not finished. Mirna followed him into the room.
"Zahra, what you did was good!" Mirna held out her two thumbs.
Zahra was just a wry smile in response to Mirna's words. He prefers to read books. He did not want this flowery mood to be broken again because he heard his mother's words.
"You should get more attention from him" said Mirna but Zahra did not respond to him. For Zahra, Fatih always tried to be fair to him as well as to Mentari.
"Did you know that Mentari looked really upset when she found out that Fatih had breakfast with the two of you in the room."
"So Zahra had to take Mentari to breakfast together, huh?!" zahra said without turning away from her reading book.
"You don't do anything stupid! You should spend a lot of time alone with your husband. If you do not want to be deposed and divorced by Fatih. Recapture Fatih's attention as it used to be when it was just you and your husband."
Zahra turned her attention towards Mirna. "Ummi, don't provoke Zahra! I'm tired" Zahra said in a pleading tone.
"Do you not want to be like Annisa who always get the abundance of love and affection of her husband. He was so noticed despite being very busy. Annisa is so happy with her home. As for you, only sadness and disappointment Ummi saw!" Mirna shed her tears.
"This is unfair to you Zahra! You should be able to enjoy the rest of your life with an abundance of love, affection, and attention from your husband." Mirna cried violently while hugging Zahra's body.
"You deserve to be happy until the end!" mirna was full of emotion.

Wait for the next CHAPTER.
