Sundays, holidays for Ardhi. If Ishana, she does not know the day and date, she continues to work on schedule, but luckily, today she is also off.
The atmosphere of a bright morning, the cold morning did not dampen the spirit of togetherness of the Vishnu family to gather in front of the house.
Suddenly Ishana's smile floated, as her pair of eyes saw the figure of a middle-aged man just coming down from the taxi. "Dad ...." Ishana is very happy, without saying goodbye to anyone, Ishana immediately runs towards Purnama and hugs her tightly.
"Daddy is healthy?"
"Alhamdulillah, at this time Dad is really healthy, Daddy miss you Na."
"Yes, Ishana too."
"Yes! Come here, it's so fucking people!" shouted Risma.
Both of them let go of their embrace.
"Risma's right, let's go there. I'd like to talk to your husband and in-laws for a minute."
Ishana and Purnama soon join Vishnu's family.
"Is it healthy sir?" sapa Vishnu's.
"Alhamdulillah, Sir. That Father?" Purnama asked.
"Thank God, sir, the healthier you are.
The chatter of Ishana's father, Vishnu, and Ardhi continues, this is certainly what Rita wants to use, while her husband is busy talking to Ishana's father.
"Pak Purnama accompany papa Ardhi to play chess how?" rita's proposal.
"Wah .. may, all this time papa's opponent is only our personal driver, Abim." Vishnu looks so happy.
Purnama was happy to accompany his besi play chess.
Seeing her husband so absorbed, Rita invites Ardhi, Risma, and Ishana into the house.
"What's the mah?" ask Risma.
"The deadlines you gave Ardhi and Ishana are up."
"Ma, this relationship is not a race." Ardhi tried to make his mother understand.
"That means your mama's plan has to go." Rita looked at her two daughters-in-law in turn.
"What's mama's plan?" ask Risma.
"Ardhi is remarried," replied Rita.
"What?!" Ardhi was very surprised by his mother's plan. "Sorry ma, Ishana's presence alone I have not been fully able to accept her, how could I marry again, enough Ishana who became a victim of my injustice, until this moment, there is only Risma in my heart." Ardhi grabbed Risma's hand and held it tightly. "In this household is enough for me with Risma and Ishana."
Rita looked at Ardhi with a hard to interpret gaze. "If this barren woman asks, just a few minutes you agree and want to do it, and if your mama?" The destruction began to be seen from Rita's face.
"In the Hospital! My mother asked you to get married! But you refused, after Risma asked you to agree. Mama really lost her son."
Tears began to flow down Rita's cheeks. Slowly, Rita's eyes fell on Ishana. "Owh, lest you be as barren as him!"
Suddenly, Rita's eyes were fixed on Risma. "Atau .. You deliberately married Ardhi to this lame woman!" Rita's hands are on Ishana. "Agar Ardhi bears all of his foster father's medical expenses and pays off all of his debts?" Rita smiled cynically.
"Mrs ...." Ardhi was very sad to see his current mother. Rita who has been lovingly opposite to what she sees now.
"If you love your mother, marry the woman of your choice. If you can't get pregnant either, you won't bother the three of you anymore."
"Ma, having 2 wives alone I can't be fair, how about three?" Ardhi sought to ask for the understanding of his mother.
"Mama is sick Dhi, if you ask for anything, you always refuse, while the barren woman." Rita's sharp gaze was fixed on Risma. "The struggle between life and death was mama giving birth to you, not that barren woman!"
Rita cries her wish is not approved Ardhi. "You two are the same!" Rita looked cynically at Ishana and Risma. "Take no use! One has no womb, one has no use!" Rita walked quickly leaving both her daughter-in-law and Ardhi.
Ardhi threw his body weight on the sofa. Though he only needs to hook Ishana, somehow it is so heavy.
Risma was silent. He doesn't know what to do. At Ishana he could believe, but at another woman, his heart was so scared. Afraid that the woman has power over Ardhi's life and heart.
"How about you just let me go? Mostly true said mother, I was useless," said Ishana.
"No! You are my shoulder Na. I don't want you to get away from this bond."
"But-"
"You go away or shut up, all stay the same Na. But, if you are still willing here, you become a reinforcement for Risma," said Ardhi.
That day Rita tried to be nice to her guests, even though her heart was so disappointed.
Purnama was relieved, it turns out that Ishana was really accepted in this family, before she thought Ishana was just a hereditary printing machine.
For Ishana, Risma is like a goddess, she is willing to do anything for Risma. Purnama is not willing, if Risma utilizes the sincerity and kindness of Ishana.
Purnama remembers the events of 5-year-old Ishana, the fire that destroyed the home, where Risma became a hero to Ishana. Because of the tragedy he was also ordered to adopt Ishana, to protect the woman.
After arriving at his house, Purnama immediately called someone.
"Ishana is the daughter-in-law of the family, focus on your affairs. Although Ishana was his second wife, everyone in the house loved her very much."
"One more time, your concern about Risma, all is not right, they really share love."
"Then, send your son to work for me, you have educated Ishana so well, I want to repay you a little kindness, to educate your son."
"About Ishana's choice of being her best friend's honey, I can't do anything. I just hope she's happy in that complicated bond."
After a few days, Pajri sent Purnama to meet his former superior.
*****
Seeing Rita's change, Ardhi was very sad. Sadness also emanated on Risma's face, she felt the great loss of her in-laws. During this time he was closest to Rita, joking together and spending time together. Now, just say hello Rita won't. Even Rita acted as if she didn't see Risma.
For Risma, Rita is not her in-laws, but her parents. For the sake of the happiness of the two people who always stole it with affection, Risma tried to strengthen her heart.
"Mas, fulfill my mother's wish, it makes no difference to me to marry again, because here also there is Ishana."
Risma very much hopes Ardhi realize the wishes of his mother.
"I'm sorry, I can't."
Day after day passed, the cheerful Risma seemed to disappear, in front of Ardhi's eyes only the woman in Risma's suit. Ardhi is tormented to see the present Risma.
Sadness, that was all that radiated from Risma's face.
Ardhi felt increasingly cornered by this situation. Forward hurt his wife, survived to hurt both his parents.
Son, that's all. Easy to be, especially if he proves fertile. But it was very difficult for Ardhi, because he had to do it with women other than Risma.
Ardhi locked himself in the workspace in his office, various files on his desk, such as a lazy stale food he saw.
"Sir." Derby was astonished to see Ardhi's face like a tangled thread that was impossible to decipher.
"My mother asked me to marry again."
"Waw, that's amazing."
"Until now, I can't touch my second wife, how can I get married again?"
"God feels unfair, I want to get married, and I want to do that with my halal partner, but I'm not even given one. And this man in front of me, he's in love 2, wasted one, kept wanting another one!" lamented Derby.
The pledukkk!
A free-flying Pen hit Derby's forehead.
"Ouch!" Derby screamed as she rubbed her forehead which felt a little pain."
"I'm stressed! Not for joking!"
"Sorry sir" Derby said.
"If it's my point of view, it's a punishment for you, sir. Because you wasted something that was destined for you, if you still waste the third, do not rule out the possibility there is a tenth." Before Ardhi responded, Derby ran straight for the door, fearing that something bigger than a pen would float back towards him.
Ardhi kept thinking about his mother's wishes, during dinner, everything was silent, Ardhi looked at the faces present at the dining table. Considering everything.
But when he was lying in bed, he could not make a decision. Hopefully, his dream can give advice or guidance about the path he will take later.
Morning is back.
Breakfast was over, the stomach was full. Ardhi immediately prepared to leave for the office.
"You're off Na?" ask Ardhi.
"Yes, sister, last night I had night service" Ishana replied.
Risma does not listen to the chatter of Ardhi and Ishana, her mind continues to think about the changes of Rita and how to persuade Ardhi.
"Mas, why do we have to hurt your feelings again and again" said Risma.
"I don't know anymore baby, right now my mind is completely deadlocked."
"Trust me mas, as I have said all along, it makes no difference to me, whether you marry again or not, because in this bond, I have shared with Ishana."
"Especially me, I'm just a passenger on this plane" Ishana said.
Ardhi understood where Risma spoke. "Married Ishana, your heart's wounds haven't healed yet, so how can I get married again?"
"Yes .. Just take care of your wife's heart, forget your mom and dad, consider us dead!" Suddenly Rita passed by.
"If I remarry, please continue to love my two wives as before" Ardhi said firmly.
Rita stopped her footsteps. "Mama doesn't promise, but mama just doesn't hate them, because by agreeing to mama's request, mama feels you still think mama exists."
"Mama means mama is still in your heart, even though this barren woman is currently enthroned there."
"Stop calling Risma a barren woman," pinta Ardhi softly.
"The call will stick forever, if you don't want to follow your plan."
Surviving the establishment only makes the home more uncomfortable. Ardhi fell silent, and continued to make his brain work, considering everything.
Surviving with 2 wives, my home paradise feels far away, because the spicy mouth of Rita always disturb the calmness of her angels.
"Good! Please bring your future mother, tell her that your child cannot be fair, let her be like Ishana who still respects Risma and does not complain because of my injustice."
"From kek yesterday, answer yes is very difficult!" Rita continued her footsteps.
With such enthusiasm, Rita immediately contacted Eva, asking the woman to come to her house.
"Wow aunt, why just now, my schedule for the next week is full, I just signed the contract."
"When can you?"
"My holiday schedule is only today, that's it now, in the afternoon, I have an appointment with Sonia's doctor, I prepare everything for aunt."
"In that case, come quickly, the aunt will ask Ardhi to wait for you."
Rita's immediate phone call ended, as fast as she could she continued to spur her footsteps, relaying this news before Ardhi departed.
