Youari tries to smile when Arini contacts her via cell phone, saying she is ready to marry Fahri. They then make an appointment that tomorrow morning they will leave for the hospital to check on Arini's health before she does the wedding with Fahri.
"Keep me O God" You wipe away the tears that suddenly came out of his eyes, wetting his cheeks now.
The door to the room is open. Fahri with a tired face. He just returned from Rasau Jaya. Monitoring new housing developments there. It has been almost three months that housing has only been completed sixty percent.
"I've prepared hot water Bang."
After their bath, they had dinner.
"There's something I want to talk to Mom and Bang Fahri about."
"What about?" nurpiah asked impatiently while putting a mouthful of rice in her mouth.
"Arini is willing to marry Bang Fahri."
Fahri quit his eating activities. His face turned cloudy.
"Bang," You squeeze the five fingers of Fahri to calm him down.
"Good, bile want to go to the hospital for a health check?" Nurpiah asked not to care about the change in attitude shown by Fahri.
"Tomorrow morning Mak, God willing."
The next morning at about nine in the morning, Arini accompanied Youari health check at the same hospital where Youari and Fahri check health.
After conducting a series of health tests, the doctor stated that there were no problems in Arini that could prevent her from having children.
The wedding was planned for another week. Arini told her two brothers tomorrow. They were so happy at first, their sister finally got married. At least there are men who will be responsible for Arini. After their parents died a few years ago, both brothers were automatically responsible for him.
Everything changes after Arini says she will marry Fahri and will become Fahri's second wife. Both of his brothers were shocked especially his two brothers-in-law.
"You have a gile with men" said Astri, the wife of Bang Riswan, staring in disbelief at Arini. They are now gathered at Arini's house while enjoying the night he made with his two brothers-in-law. Actually this house belongs to their parents because Arini the youngest child of their parents bequeathed this house to Arini.
Arini had indeed contacted her two brothers to come here because she wanted to talk about this marriage.
"There's no other man to Rin until you have to marry a man?" this time the one who asked Marwah the wife of his brother number one . She handed a plate of rice to her husband.
"Actually you asked me to be Bang Fahri's second wife."
"You're sure about your speed, Dek?" Ian his brother who was number one now asked. He then took a plate of rice from Marwah's hand. He then took a piece of the head of a spicy-sour-cooked fish from the glass bowl in front of him.
"God Bang insha."
'But Bang's weight became his second wife" Astri said and handed a plate of rice to Riswan.
"But why do you ask you to be her husband's second wife?"
"And there's a little problem with the egg."
"In conclusion you're barren."
"That's how."
"Then she asked you to marry her husband?"
"Mak Fahri asked that Fahiri marry again and you agreed."
"Mak Fahri certainly could not bear to pet a grandchild so he told Fahri to marry again."
***
A week later the day before the wedding, Arini began to bathe steam by using spices to make it fragrant and fresh body when doing the wedding tomorrow.
The marriage ceremony and wedding reception are held in Malay traditional houses. From the house Fahri grooms move using several cars, carrying goods in the form of makeup, towels, bed covers to mukena formed in such a way, like a towel formed into a bear shape. Mukena is paired to a Barbie doll so that the doll is as if wearing a Muslim dress.
Not to forget the smoke money that is put into the durian camp and also rose water and trees and manggar trees and houses for the container of betel leaves. Two pick-up cars were used to carry a group of people carrying delivery and musical instruments to sing Islamic songs, escorting the groom to the venue and wedding reception.
The muke Fahri. He dared not look directly at the guests of the Invitation who came to meet the second wedding invitation. Almost full of traditional Malay houses will be invited guests. Just like his first marriage, his mother did interfere with his second marriage. His mother wanted Fahri's second marriage to be as festive as Fahri's first. Fahri wants his second marriage to be simple. What do the guests think about their second wedding? I don't know, Fahri doesn't want to think about it.
He glanced at you sitting in a chair not far from the pelaminan. How do you feel when you see her husband remarry? He could not read the face of you at this time who was always smiling towards him and also Arini. Sometimes it seems you greet the invited guests.
The night after the wedding reception in the bridal room, Fahri lay still, staring at the ceiling of the room. Arini, who was lying next to her in a sideways position, looked at her, not daring to disturb her husband's silence. Arini knows Fahri's current feelings are the same as t**ak of course rudu.
You who are in his room, trying to hold back his tears but can't. Her heart strengthened her to give her what she had chosen for her husband.
