WAIT FOR ME AND WATCH YOUR HEART

Talaqs

The night is getting late. Ridwan and Nuria had fallen asleep in their rooms. Likewise, Monas, has been lying in the middle room with a smooth fur carpet. Ida was also in her room.

In the middle room, even though Monas was lying down and closed his eyes, his mind was still going nowhere. The restlessness that plagued her made Monas still awake. Monas sat back on the couch in front of the television. Not long after, Ida's second wife came over.

" Brother! Not sleeping?" said Ida while sitting next to Monas.

" Not Ida yet. Maybe you're tired so you can't sleep." replied Monas.

" Ida can massage Abang, if you want to" Ida said while trying to hold Monas' hand.

The hand was pulled by Monas and Ida went back to silence to see her husband's still stiff reaction to her. Three months into their marriage, Monas has not touched Ida.

" Brother! Ida is my brother's wife. Ida is ready to serve brother because we are halal" Ida said as she lowered her head.

" I'm sorry Brother Ida. Brother can't because you don't want this marriage" Monas said as he looked at the woman nearby.

" But we are already a religiously legitimate married couple. Brother as a husband must give a living born and inner to Ida" said Ida while looking at her husband's face. Monas was surprised by the words of the woman beside him.

" Sister doesn't love you Ida! Brother loves Hani the true wife of Brother." said Monas.

" The law of religion is clear. And my brother understands that better. If you do not fulfill your duty as a husband,

and brother's wife is not ridlo.it will be.." Ida said and the words were not in his resume.

" So once again I'm sorry Ida. You can't be your good husband. Everything is not the will of my brother. Marry you this way" Monas said.

" It's been three months, brother won't touch me. While I as a woman want her." said Ida.

Monas was surprised by Ida's words. Ida dared to throw out sentence after sentence about her position as his wife. Ida demands her rights as a wife.

" I'm sorry Ida! Brother can't! Don't force you to accept you completely.

" Sister!" call Ida while holding Monas' body closer to her.

Ida tried to bring her face closer to her husband's face in front of her. One, two, three, four and Ida tried to touch Monas' lips with her lips. Suddenly Monas pushed strongly the body of Ida who embraced him.

" I'm sorry Ida! You can't!" monas said in a loud voice.

Ida cried and ran into her room. Monas rests his head on the chair. His mind was starting to get messed up. Hani's face filled his mind. Monas could not betray his wife who was six months pregnant.

For three months, Monas had never visited his wife's house in Solo. And for a month now, Hani has never contacted her if Monas first contacted her. After the arrival of Hani with Arifah in Jakarta. Hani never contacted her husband first. Cliche reasons, do not want to interfere with her husband's activities.

This week, Monas plans to return to Solo. Careful plans are in place for the Friday of his departure.

Monas's mind is still uncertain. He took his wudlu water to do the night prayer and repeated his memorization of a juz of the Qur'an.

Until finally, after the dawn prayer, Monas began to lay his body back on the hairy carpet.

------------------------------------------------------

The morning arrived. Ida's ready - ready with her trevel bag. And woke her husband who was still asleep.

" Bang! Brother!" call Ida.

" Hey?" replied Monas lazily.

" She's coming home!" ida said to Monas.

Monas gets up and sits down. The woman in front of him was crying.

" What's up?"

" She gave up!" ida said with his sobs.

" Ida gave up. Ida can't afford a marriage like this. Brother does not want Ida as a wife." continued Ida with a sniffle - sedu.

" I'm sorry Brother Ida! You really - really can't! Sorry!" said Monas slowly.

" All right! Divorce Ida! And let Ida go home and explain to Abah that Abang did not want Ida."

" Ida! Brother is sorry!"

" Yes bang! Ida can also understand you. Ida is unable to maintain the marriage of this series. Let Ida go home!"

" How will Pak kyai and Abah react to this?" monas said at last.

" Let Ida explain all this" Ida said slowly her crying had subsided. Ida was calm with her decision.

" Pronounce the talaq to Ida! So that we fall into a husband and wife religiously. Ida is sincere." continued Ida.

" Bang! Say bang!"

" Good" said Monas as he passed to the back to wash his face and take water wudlu.

" Pronounce Bang! Let Ida quickly leave your house" Ida said firmly.

" O Ida Nur Askia bint Muhammad Idris, from today you are not my wife anymore and I return you to your parents!

I'm your talak! A talaq! Talaq Talaak!" monas said firmly.

His voice was heard until Ridwan and Nuria's room. The two of them silently watched the conversation between Monas and Ida.

" Come here bang Ridwan and Mbk Nuria. You two will be witnesses that between me and Bang Monas is no longer husband and wife" Ida said in a loud voice.

Ridwan and Nuria went out and approached between Monas and Ida.

" Thank you Ida! For your very wise decision" Ridwan said as he shook Ida's hand.

" I'm sorry, Ida! We are not kind and friendly to you while in this house." said Nuria.

" I know and understand. I also apologize for insisting on being the wife of Bang Monas. And I know, Bang Monas doesn't love me." said Ida.

" I'm sorry for all my mistakes" Ida said at last.

" Yes!" monas said at last.

" What do you want to go home? Let Brother interrave!" said Ridwan while taking his car keys.

" Ride the bang bus!" ridwan replied at last.

" Let me drive along too." said Nuria.

Ida left the house with a heart of relief. Ridwan and Nuria accompanied Ida's departure back to her hometown.

Monas was relieved, but not quite calm because he had not met his beloved wife. Hani!

" hani! Brother misses you." muttered Monas slowly.
