In one of the treatment rooms at the same hospital where Aida was being treated, gus Umar sounded calm ning Zahra who was still sobbing from the influence of drugs after radical hysterectomy surgery performed last night.
Surgical removal of the uterus and other reproductive organs that have long been advised by doctors, and only yesterday approved by the wife of Gus Umar.
"Ning, for me you still remain as you were ning. You are still my wife who I love," pleaded with Umar sincerely, to encourage the wife who was sad.
"Zahra is no longer a perfect woman gus, Zahra can not give genealogy offspring," ning Zahra still sobbed.
"Please genealogy find another wife gus, in order to have offspring. Zahra doesn't matter in the honey," said Zahra, in between her sobs.
Gus Umar took a deep breath, and blew his breath slowly, "there is no perfect creature on the face of the earth ning, because perfection is absolutely belongs to Allah SWT," gus Umar stared at the glazed netra ning Zahra.
"And for me, having you is enough. I do not care if we do not have children" said Gus Umar stressed, and don't want to discuss more about finding a wife as offered by ning Zahra.
"Zahra willingly gus, Zahra ridho. genengan can choose one of the santri abah," continued ning Zahra, regardless of the speech gus Umar just now.
Gus Umar shook his head,
"Poligami is sunnah, right gus, and will bring rewards if the wife is sincere? Zahra is truly sincere, Zahra wants to get a reward, "the pinta ning Zahra is earnest.
Again, Umar shook his head this time while blowing his rough breath.
"Is not the law of origin of marriage polygamy, as for monogamy when one is unable to do so? As in His word, "Marry a woman who is good to you two, three, and four, but if you are not able to be just then suffice with one. (QS; an-Nisa: 3)
"And Zahra was sure, genengan was able to do justice gus," ning Zahra half forced.
"Ning, basically the law of marriage is mubah or something that is allowed. However, the law can turn out to be mandatory, sunna, mubah, makruh, even haram."
"Just like polygamy, the law of origin is not sunnah, but the same as the law of origin of marriage that is mubah or may be. It can later become a sunnah, but it can also be haram. And the human heart is easily swayed, easily turned away and inclined.."
"If I remarry, and then my heart is more inclined to one of them. Isn't that the same as me creating hell for one of my wives? Isn't that the same thing, I've plunged myself into hellfire because I can't be fair to my wives?" Gus Umar shook his head again.
"So, the genie is against any polygamy practices? But in the word of God, does God encourage men to marry up to four women?" Ning Zahra looked in wonder at her husband.
"I'm not against no her polygamy ning, no. But I personally do not want and can not practice it in our household life, I love you ning and that's enough." Gus Umar returned his wife's gaze, to convince her that she could not be double.
"Ning, we have to understand why a verse was sent down. We have to find out the asbabun nuzul, and not swallow the translation of the verse?!"
"And in the content of Surat An-Nisa verse 3 that you mentioned earlier, understood by some scholars not as a command for polygamy but simply allow it. With his revelation of the verse, it is precisely to limit the number of wives of the Arab community and other societies that at that time there was no limit." Gus Umar.
"Sura An-Nisa verse 3 limits the maximum number of wives to only four from an infinite number before, instead advocating adding wives from one to four women!" Back gus Umar asserted, while staring at his wife intensely.

While in Aida's nursery, the young mother-to-be was very surprised to see Ning's presence with Laila.
"Laila,," Aida's words hang in the air, because Laila's hunting hits her. And crying in the arms of Aida, who was sitting leaning on the headboard of the patient's bed. Long enough the sister of Gus Umar was crying, as well as Aida who tried to hold tightness in the chest.
During this time, Aida did not miss her best friend, but Aida took a moment to stay away, so her heart was calm.
"You are evil Da, you are evil. Why did you disappear and never contact me at all? What's my fault Da, what? I kept looking and asking Ning mbak Ning, to Mr. Karyo, but their answer was the same," protested Laila after she was content to cry, lapping Aida's arm.
Aida smiled and pinched her best friend's cheek, "ih, your cheek is getting chabi deh La, and you're more beautiful now." Praise Aida sincerely, "definitely expensive treatment, want dong in the care and gretongan," joked Aida, and ignored the protest that Laila made.
"Don't divert the conversation, anyway," laila said.
Ms. Ning who was sitting in one of the chairs while arranging the food she brought earlier on the table, just smiled and was relieved to see the meeting of the two friends.
"Oh yeah La, how can you be here? Who's sick?" Aida asked, completely deliberately diverting the conversation.
"I don't want to answer," Laila looked annoyed.
Aida smiled, understanding with the anger of her best friend.
"And all the reasons why I haven't contacted you, have I delivered by mail? Why still cranky? Okay, I'm sorry.." Aida grabbed Laila's hand and held her tightly, "sorry, bestie," Aida said with a funny mimic, making Laila smile.
"Well, that dong smile.so the sweeter, because the hole in his cheek is visible," teased Aida, pointing at Laila's dimple.
Laila grew wider developing her smile, "oh yes Da, congratulations ya. earlier mbak Ning said you are pregnant, all healthy, can be healthy," Laila rubbed the stomach of her best friend, her best friend, nagging her, which is starting to look like that.
"Hi dear, well well in the belly of the mother, do not make the mother sad. Bulek promise, bulek will help mother to take care of you." Laila whispered in Aida's stomach, holding tightness in her chest. Recalling Ning's story of what Aida had experienced, it was as the two of them walked towards Aida's treatment room.
"You are not alone Da," she whispered inwardly, "I promise, I will never let you disappear from our side again."
