The Second Wife

Part 131Warm Night

In the evening, Arya, Yasmine and Taqa are still in the luxurious house of Iyas Hermawan's family. Even tonight, the family's first child, as well as the wife, were there to meet the special guest Yasmine had brought.

In the garden, everyone sat there. On the mat that has been prepared. Dinner this time, rustic. Eat on a banana leaf with the person surrounding the leaf. The food is simple, but it feels so good. There is sambal, salted fish, fried pete, fried chicken, tempeh and fried tofu, lalapan, and others. Combined with liwet rice that smells so fragrant and appetizing.

"Mas Arya, would you like to add the fish?" yasmine asked as the salted fish on the edge of Arya's rice ran out.

"Fish from where, Yas. The salted fish said it," Yahya scolded.

"May, Ms. Yas," said Arya.

Yasmine picked it up and put it on the man's rice. Then the woman sitting in the middle of her parents glanced sharply at her brother. "The name is still fish Kak, the salted fish started from the desired fish," he said.

"Of course, you've always been like this" said the mother. "I'm sorry Nak Arya, later do not be surprised by Yasmine who is old indeed, but geez, still like a child. Especially if the same is his brother," explained the middle-aged woman to the prospective daughter-in-law.

"Don't get me wrong Ma'am, Mr. Arya would obviously be happy if he was with Yayas, because the atmosphere was so warm" said Zahra who sat next to her husband.

"Grandfather, it's not that eating can't talk, yes" said the little boy with whispers who sat at the edge, next to the brother, to face Arya.

Ilyas' father smiled then nodded, as did Arya who heard him. The three men of different ages just nodded their heads, as if asserting something important.

Then, Arya turned again towards the women. "But, right, ma'am. What did Zahra say" he said.

"Already, eat. It's really your males that are promoting me again," Yasmine said in surrender.

...----------------...

"Here, wash your hands first," Arya invites Taqa to wash her hands on the faucet in the park.

The boy was a man, he washed his hands with the man. While the others are cleaning up the remains of the meal in auxiliary mbak.

They all sat in the park without food. Chat together to enjoy a beautiful night accompanied by the sound of water gurgling from the father fish pond.

Yasmine was busy with her cell phone, she sat with her mother and sister-in-law. While Arya, Taqa and Ilyas' father, they sat together as a group. Why separate, because their conversation is different. Understandably, the men are talking seriously.

"What makes you want to be with my sister, Ar?" ask Yahya seriously. "We've been talking a lot when we meet, but this time, I need your interrogation. Pengin aja ngerasain nanya-nanya prospective sister-in-law, like how," he explained. Understandably, the sister's first marriage, was sudden and unplanned at all so, yes .. don't blame Yahya if this time he wants to know more about Arya's feelings, of course, no, he did not want his brother to fail a second time.

Arya smiled, "likes I can't explain, Mas. Suddenly it just appeared, just that, the voice taught him to make my heart tremble, growing a sense that had long gone with my late wife. And that sense has been present for a long time, Mas, when Ms. Yasmine was not long there, even still in a state of pregnancy. However, to get the intention closer, it felt inappropriate and .. I also constantly considered my feelings," explained the man at length.

Yahya's eyelids widen, "a month?" tanyakanya. Arya nodded.

"What's not, Ar. I'm just afraid Yasmine's second marriage has also failed. So, I'm asking you this. You know, he's not alone, he's got a kid you should love too, educate him and treat him like your son. You don't just marry his mother" Yahya continued.

"Yes, Mas. I'm ready for that" replied Arya.

Ilyas' father patted the son's shoulder. "Unfortunately she's into her sister that's bigger than my affection, Ar. So yes, gini," he said.

"But, Arya's father is married to her mother?" asked the boy who had just turned his head in that direction and here, looking at every mouth that spoke.

The three grown men smiled widely. "So, Taqa ...just calm down, next week with grandparents to your house, we plan the wedding of your mother and father Arya. ok!" Yahya gave his thumbs up to the nephew.

"Yeeeeeyyy, I have a father!" the boy shouted happily. Stand in front of the men sitting cross-legged.

Of course it invited the attention of the three women sitting on another mat. "Please, Taqa is so excited," Yasmine grumbled.

"He's happy Yas again, you don't see it" pointed the mother at Arya and Taqa who were laughing. "They look like father and son. Taqa with Alfin alone is not like that," continued the mother.

Netra Yasmine and Zahra finally looked in the direction that mother pointed. Yeah, it looks so beautiful there. Yahya smiled widely, and so did Dad. Arya was tickling Taqa's stomach which made the little man laugh happily, and ended up hugging the man who said he would be his father.

"Actually, I feel sorry for Alfin," said the successful mother who made the two young women look back at him. "So afternoon he was in the Taqa cuekin. I think your son is still angry with him" continued the mother as she advanced her chin towards the princess.

"Kor Ma'am, Taqa is angry. He never met his father. Once met, the father would have children from other wives. Later, gradually the child will know, especially in the hands of Arya, In Syaa Allaah, he can overcome and tell slowly to Taqa," said Zahra.

"I feel guilty if I believe it, Mom," said Yasmine lethargic.

"Yes, eat it if you want anything in mind first. But it's already passed too. Just live what is there, later you even get sick most think, do not get married, continue to be disappointed again Taqa," said the mother by teasing the child. "I don't know what, I'll want to see the face of the youngest child's mother again blushed, not Zahra who always blushed early in the morning," continued the woman teased two women in front of her.

"Ih, what. Mah's mother, Zahra never harrumphed, just plain," she said in self-defense.

"Here, lie," continued Yasmine who co-edited the sister-in-law.

Zahra laughed, so did Yasmine and mother. Two groups happy with each other's chat. Make the night atmosphere in the park warmer. Moreover, after that they re-assembled in the living room and ended up with Arya carrying Taqa going to the guest room. Yes, Taqa finally asked to sleep with his future father. To make Yasmine pursed her lips so long.

"Exciting, usually also sleeping alone," so upset the mother of one child, which immediately made the other humans who were there again laugh, laughing at her who seemed to be jealous. In fact, he was really upset with the attitude of the child.
