Binjai, North Sumatra
Since Qonita was already looking better, Iman finally decided to work. But before going to the office, Iman first met Mayang in Binjai.
"Assalamu'alaikum," said Iman entered Mayang's house. The door of the house that is not closed makes Faith go straight to the middle room.
"Wa'alaikum salam" said Mayang then stood up and hugged her husband. Faith gives a kiss on his wife's head.
"Still remember that you have a child and a wife here" said Ms. Irma.
"Sorry, Ma." Faith went to her mother-in-law and touched the birth mother of Mayang. This is the first time Iman has 'mama' on Ms. Irma. Faith sat in front of her mother-in-law.
"Mama does not accept what Mayang felt during these 8 years. Mama thinks you've been living happily together, that's why we let Mayang go and away from us, his family," said Ms. Irma.
"But what, you can only marry Mayang in series and cover his existence, even You also marry other women," continued Ms. Irma without further ado.
"From the beginning Mayang already knew the condition if you still insist to marry Iman, Ma," said Iman.
"But this is not fair to Mayang and Yuna. You must immediately take care of your marriage legally," urged Ms. Irma.
"Sorry, Ma. Faith can't do it."
Prang
Ms. Irma hit the table because she did not accept the rejection of her mant.
"If you cannot give happiness to My Son, give him back to Us. Let us take care of it and make it happy" said Ms. Irma.
"Ma.." said Mayang protesting the revelation of his mother's attitude.
"Iman has promised not to divorce Mayang, Ma," said Iman.
"Then give the same rights to Mayang and Yuna as the rights you give to your other wives and children."
"Sorry, Ma. Faith can give no more."
"Deliver Mayang right now!"
"Ma..." Mayang cried at her mother's forced request. Mayang did want Faith to be fair to her, but she did not want to be separated from her husband.
Faith takes a long breath. He no longer knew what to do. Fulfilling her mother-in-law's request was certainly not what she could do. His family had even warned that only Qonita was the daughter-in-law of the opa Pras family, nothing else.
Meanwhile, if he fulfilled the request of Pras and his family to divorce Mayang, he was also unable to. Mayang and Yuna have suffered a lot. And he has also promised Mayang will not divorce Mayang if it is not Mayang who wants it.
"You deserve to be happy, Yang. And your husband can't give it to you. No parent can afford to see his favorite child suffer and be wasted like this."
"Perse Mayang now!" snatch Miss Irma.
"Who wouldn't part with Faith, Ma." Mayang sobbed saying it.
Ms. Irma breathed a heavy sigh. "What do you expect from a husband who never thinks of your feelings, Yang? Then, you and Yuna come with Mama to Jakarta. Let's ask papa's opinion."
Ms. Irma left Mayang and Iman together. He entered Yuna's room. During her stay at Mayang's house, Ms. Irma slept with Yuna.
"What do I do, Im?" mayang asked her husband. Mayang sobbed in her husband's arms.
"Go meet your family first, Yang. You haven't seen them for 8 years. You must be so missed." Faith stroking his wife's hair.
"What if they keep telling us to separate, Im?"
"Let's think of a way out, yeah." Faith tried to calm his wife's heart.
"Are you going to defend me, Im?" ask Mayang lirih.
"I'll keep my word, Yang."
"Do you love me, Im?"
Faith smiled and stroked his wife's cheek. "Yes, I love you, Yang." Then Iman kissed his wife's lips briefly.
