Hanan was still frozen after hearing Aulia's request. Abi Hamid, Umi Fatimah and Sarah.

They would not have expected that Aulia would have asked for it so soon even though the two middle-aged already expected that Aulia would ask their son for it.

"But baby, _why do we have to separate? Mas, will not be able to." Hanan said with a voice that was getting heavier and smoother.

"Mas knows very well how my life journey and Aliya are so heavy because of my condition that I am pregnant without a husband? Mas even became a silent witness, how difficult Aliya to get a confession even though it was only written on a piece of paper. What is the heart, the thing that Aliya experienced also by Mas's biological children? Though at this time, Mas as his real father is here. Look at Mas, look at Sarah, look at Sarah's face, look her in the eye. Would Mas have the heart to let the woman who would give birth to Mas offspring have an unclear status? What if Mas's biological children do not have a valid confession? Isn't it Mas? Marry Sarah properly Mas, treat her well because she will fight to risk her life and the rest of her life to keep and care for the child that Mas left in her womb," it was clearly Aulia who made everyone who was there.

"But why should we split up? Can't we live together?" lirih Hanan again sucked her face in Aulia's lap, to make the robe that Aulia wore wet by her tears.

"Because I can't and can't share my husband with another woman Mas" Aulia replied as she gently brushed her husband's hair.

"To be fair is difficult and hard, even though Mas is trying to be fair to us. But I'm sure, one day there will be a hurt heart, a heart that feels disappointed and hurt just because her husband is a little unfair. Because in fact, the sincere sense of sharing the husband is the toughest thing that we, the wives must achieve. Don't be an unjust husband just because Mas can't be completely fair to us, your wife's wife. Tell us everything that happened to us, I'm sure. There will be a beautiful story that will be the same as we achieve even though it is not me or Mas who will accompany our next journey," explained Aulia who increasingly made Hanan cry awkwardly on her lap.

While Sarah herself can only be silent with tears wetting her beautiful face. Sarah was so sorry for what had happened to her and Hanan.

But Sarah also could not prevent what happened. All out of his control as an ordinary man who never thought if the closest people could do such a bad thing just for the sake of a position and power.

Sarah is right to regret her fateful path that must be re-entered with a man who loves another woman. Even worse, now Sarah is dealing with Hanan, a man who already has a wife.

With a trembling hand, Sarah Tried to Grab Aulia's hand which was currently sitting beside her. After Hanan calmed down a bit, Aulia asked for time to talk to Sarah.

"Ma_forgive Sarah Ma'am. Sarah has made Ma'am and Mas Hanan's household destroyed when you were just married. Sarah is really sorry Ma'am," said Sarah quite softly with a hoarse voice because it continues to cry for a long time.

"Don't feel guilty, this is all our destiny path like this. I'm sure you have no intention of ruining our relationship. All this happens because it is our destiny. Titip Mas Hanan yes, he is a very good man. Please, after this make her happy and smile back. From now on, I trust Mas Hanan to you. Be happy, give a whole family to your child-to-be. I bless your marriage Sarah," replied Aulia with all her might to hold tightness in her chest while having to release the man she had already in her heart.

"One more time, thank you and I'm sorry. Forgive me," continued Sarah who again cried in Aulia's arms.

The two women who were married by one man ended up crying together under Hanan's gaze. The man who loved his wife so much, finally had to be willing to let go of the woman he had been fighting for the responsibility he had to give to his future son who is now growing in Sarah's womb.

Although Hanan was eager to defend Aulia, but when the word sick and disappointed was thrown from the mouth of her halal woman. Hanan could not be selfish by maintaining both. Hanan had to choose, and inevitably, willingly did not know Hanan's choice had to fall on Sarah.

Because now, Sarah is the one who needs her figure much more. Because now, the woman is pregnant with the fetus that she put in the woman's womb.

Once everything is clear and the decision has been taken. Aulia was also allowed to rest in her room. Sarah and Hanan are still in Hanan's parents' second room.

Hanan originally wanted to come along with Aulia. There are still many things he wants to say to the woman who is still halal for him.

But Abi Hamid forbade it, Abi Hamid allowed Aulia to calm herself. As Abi Hamid knew, this was a tough decision Aulia had to make. Given, there is a fetus that needs a parent figure that has presented it to the world.

"Sarah's sister comes home first. Tell both parents Nak Sarah, tomorrow Abi and Umi will come home to discuss your marriage," said Abi Hamid after being calm and can ease his emotions.

"Well Mr. Ustadz" replied Sarah.

"Why call Mr. Ustadz Nak? Call Abi with Umi. We're family now, you're Umi and Abi's daughter-in-law" continued Umi Fatimah, gently rubbing Sarah's shoulder.

Getting a gentle treatment from Umi Fatimah, Sarah finally gave herself to embrace the body of the middle-aged woman.

"Sorry Umi, not used to it. And thank you, Sarah doesn't know what to say in this apology. Sarah really never intended to make the marriage of Mas Hanan and Mbak Aulia destroyed, forgive Sarah," said Sarah again crying sob in the arms of Umi Fatimah.
