The Second Wife

Part 091 # The Parents Are Alright

Downstairs, in the family room everyone gathers. Even mom Widia and dad Zaenal were there. Who else called if not Abi and Umi.

Alifa sat down next to her mother, both holding each other. Even occasionally Widia's mother looked at the child. "Sorry, Ma" said Alifa in a whisper. "For me, it's all like this."

"It's all going to be like this, Lif. You can't feel guilty like this" said mama Widia no less whispered.

"Al, Lif," call Abi. Both look at it simultaneously. Everyone looked at Abi.

But just as Abi was about to open his voice, Umi was seen descending from the top floor. So, Abi paused his intention to speak. He will wait for his wife first.

Alfin quickly got up and helped Uminya down the stairs. "How, Mi?" he asked as Umi's hand held on to her hand.

"She can't talk now, anyway like it's hard to persuade and all because of you," Umi's remark made Alfin look at Uminya's face from the side.

"Why can?" ask Alfin again, he was curious.

However, the Umi was sitting next to the besan, Radiah's mother. So, Alfin can only resign when blamed by the Umi, without him knowing his mistake.

"Please go ahead, Bi," said Umi.

"Okay, enough yeah we're talking about it. Now let's talk about the problems we've heard about" Abi said. "So, Al, Lif .. Monogamous marriage is difficult when there is a dispute, can lead to separation because of the lack of strong foundation of honesty and compassion. You've been married nine to almost ten years, but the dispute can still be settled you two, but, why are you plus Yasmine, why can't you?" abi asked.

All quiet. Alfin and Alfie looked at each other. Then, Alfin tried to answer, "because ..we even have almost no dispute, Bi," he replied.

All the parents looked at Alfin. With Abi and Umi. Then, Umi opened her voice. "This is, Al his mistake. You know, why don't you make a difference with Lifa?" ask Umi.

"Because you two are united on the basis of mutual liking, which continues towards each other's feelings. Are you keeping Yasmine's feelings up too, Al?" Umi is back.

The man with two wives was silent. Down, thinking back to how her home life used to be when she was new with Alifa, up to three with Yasmine.

Little did he remember when he found the face of the wife when he came home from work. It was cloudy and a little bright when his wife found her name in her wedding ring and Alfah. Then he also became reminded of the early days, when he did not want to exchange rings during his marriage with Yasmine, because he could not replace his wedding ring with Alifa. Kino, all the little memories he remembered, how uncomfortable his second wife was about him.

The man really cursed to his bo do han, how could he not realize that. He felt that he had hurt his first love, which he had even been waiting for to meet. So now, when we met, it was all in vain. Her Ayas doesn't want her.

Then, everyone was silent, Umi who was sitting next to the mother of Radiah just patted the back of the besan hand.

"I'm sorry, Ilyas" Abi said. " I'm sorry for my son's mistake" the man continued. He patted the child's shoulder. "This is why, yesterday Abi said that parents will not support bad requests, only support the happiness of the child, want the best for the child, want the best, like Abi and Umi who ask all to gather so that we can voice our opinions for the happiness of our children."

Everyone agreed with what the middle-aged man had just said.

"Son, Alfin .. We don't really want to until our youngest child becomes a widow. But, when it is a desire and has been considered by him carefully, we as parents can only hear his complaints, justify the wrong, and support the desire that will make him happy. Sorry, doesn't mean she's unhappy with you, but you know? Actually women do not want to share," said Mother.

Alifa looked down, in her heart always blaming herself. While Mama Widia who is next to him is only able to hold the hand of the princess. Because it's true that both Umi and Mama said, so he was just a good listener.

"Abi shouldn't apologize, because this problem exists when Yasmine suddenly asks to be finished from her marriage relationship" said Father.

"There is such a request, the reason is that there has long been a sense of entrenched Yas," replied Abi. "So, you don't have to apologize either" the man continued.

Everyone smiled for a moment as he spoke. "The point is, Al," Zaenal's papa showed his voice. "Household is difficult. Facing one woman just dizzy, let alone two. So it is not surprising that between your two wives feel envious, or feel unloved. Because we are just ordinary people, the fairest is Allaah Ta'ala" he said.

"Actually we parents don't need to interfere, but because we're afraid you can't solve it, we're all so eager to convince you, if we're all okay even if there's a problem between you. And we hope, this problem is finished well, there is no separation and back in harmony," said papa Zaenal again.

"Yes, right. Mama and Papa will not blame you, because actually who knows your problems, yes you. We only know a glimpse when the three of you tell a story. If, no? Do we all parents know? the answer is no" said Mama Widia.

The man with two wives could only go back to silence, no longer able to speak his mouth. I don't know, it can still be straightened out or not the problem with the second wife. What is clear is that he still hopes to be able to become a whole family back, honestly in his heart still wants both of them to be by his side. He does not want to lose both. But, if forced can not, then he will give time for the second wife aloof until anytime, until he can really let go.

Because to speak today cannot, he will patiently return to it tomorrow. To his in-laws' house.
