"Where is Ray from? why so long?" bela asked as Ray returned to his study.
"There was a little work, but it's done. How about we just go home? Or how about we go to Niko's? I miss Fatin" said Ray.
"Byeah, I also want to meet Fatin. Her son is cute and pretty," said Bela smiling
"Yes, right? Anyone, would say that, if I met Fatin. Everyone would love to meet Fatin and Alka."
Before Bela returned, Ray did play with Fatin and Alka.

At Ray's house.
"Bela why go home alone? where's Bela?" ask Miss Santi.
"Bak Bela, it's in Mas Ray's office, Auntie," replied Mita.
"Well, is that someone going to my son's office? just be shy," grumbled Miss Santi.
"Yes, Tan. There was also a commotion at Mas Ray's office, because some employees did not seem to like the presence of Bela Ma'am there, some say that when healthy have fun with other men, others, when the pain returned to Ray. Ah, Yes. Sorry aunt. It seems I was too involved," said Mita, covering her mouth with her right hand.
"Did Ray know about that?" ask Miss Santi.
"Yes, Aunt. Ray knew and it seemed like Ray was very angry with his employees," replied Mita.
"So, what the hell is Bela there for? don't know how ashamed it is, it's people" grumbled Miss Santi
"Tante, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous. But is it true that, Bela's mother is cheating on her with another man?" ask Mita to make sure.
"Huh.how ya Mit, but yeah already. Auntie will tell me everything. Indeed Bela was not a good woman, from the beginning Ray had refused the matchmaking that aunty did, but at that time the aunt was blinded position. Aunty thought by marrying Ray and Bela. It'll be very profitable for the company but it turns out aunt's wrong,"
"It is precisely the company of aunty destroyed, Bela and her Papi, cheat aunt. company destroyed aunt, sister suffered a heart attack until finally died and more tragically, Bela cheating with other men." said Ms. Santi
Until now, Ms. Santi still can not forget what Bela has done to her family.
"But aunt, if Ma'am Bela is like that? why does Ray seem to love Bela so much? it is not at all seen that marriage is not for love" asked Bela.
"That's all it looks like, I'm the mother who gave birth to Ray, I know. Ray just pretends to be happy, Ray can't possibly really love Bela. It's just pity! do you know how Ray is? He just could not bear to leave Bela with his current state, " explains Miss Santi.
"Aunty sure, if Ray doesn't love Ma'am Bela?" ask Mita.
"Of course I am sure, I know what my son is like, " replied Miss Santi.
***
At Niko's house.
"Om, tomorrow we go for a walk?" ask Fatin.
"Where is Fatin going?" ask Ray.
"Fatin, want a walk to Om's amusement park, but Papa won't. Papa says there is no time" said Fatin with a typical toddler voice.
"really? Papa Niko said that?" ask Ray.
"Mas Niko, lately. It's been busy Ray, the company is getting a big project. So his time is spent a lot in the office, " replied Ulya.
"Aren't you worried and jealous, if your husband is busy outside the house?" ask Bela.
"Alhamdulillah, no. Why should I be jealous? as long as it's clear, we also know what our husband is doing out there, I don't think there's any need to be jealous,"
"Everything is jealous in a household is natural, because if there is no jealousy is also not good, it is a sign that we do not care at all with our partner. But do not be too excessive in applying jealousy. because fear if excessive it, will make our husband ilfil hehehe.." said Ulya again.
"If according to Islam's own view how Mommy, about jealousy in a partner?" ask Bela.
"In the hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad bin Hanbali, Imam An-Nasa’i, and Imam Abu Dawud that the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam once said:
"There is indeed a jealous nature favored by Alloh Subhanahu wa ta'ala, namely a jealous nature accompanied by doubt and there is also a jealous nature that is hated by Allah Ta'ala, namely jealousy without accompanied by a sense of doubt again." he said again.
"Truely, as a wife we do not sin if we are jealous of our husband?" Bela is back to convincing.
"One time, the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam in the house of one of his wives. Suddenly the other wife sent a bowl of food. Seeing that, the wife whose house the Apostle came to smite the hand of the food-bearer, the bowl fell and broke. Then the Apostle gathered the pieces and the food, saying:
غَرَّتْ أُمُّكَ
'Your mother is jealous.'
Then the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam told the servant to wait, then He gave him the bowl of the wife who was with Him to give to the owner of the broken bowl. The broken bowl He kept in the house of the wife who was with Him." (SN Al Bukhari).
"He was Aisha Ummul Mu’minin, the wife of Rosulullah who was jealous at that time with Zainab bint Jahsy."
Ulya tells the story of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, who at that time was jealous of the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi WA sallam.
"Bel, that feeling from earlier. I've noticed you're talking about being jealous all the time, you're not being jealous of me, are you?" ask Ray.
"Ah, why am I jealous of you?" bela replied with a troubled face.
"But, apparently. Your eyes do not say that. You must be lying, who are you jealous of? the feeling, I'm not being close to any woman," Ray tried to remember lately who he was close to.
"Kan, I told you. I'm not jealous of Ray. I've played again with Fatin, I still want to learn a lot from mnak Ulya," said Bela diverted the conversation.
"But it's true that you're jealous?" ulya asked, when Ray had gone and played with Fatin.
"Don't know either" Bela replied smiling.
"Ulya rounded her eyes and smiled, it seemed like what Ray just said was true. What makes you jealous of Ray? if I look, Ray doesn't seem to be doing anything weird" Ulya said.
"Why, my heart seems to feel something strange, every time I see Mita close to Ray," Bela said.
"My mother? Mita's your nurse?" Ulya seemed to not believe it.
"Yes, Mita. I also don't know if I'm too much. But it felt strange, I felt like the attention Mita gave Ray was more than just a garden, ", Mita said.
"Isn't it because you know that Mita was dating Ray?" ask Ulya.
"At first I thought like that too, Ma'am, but the more I come here, it doesn't seem like it. I felt that Mita had unusual attention" Bela said.
"Have you ever told Ray about this?" ask Ulya.
Bela just shook her head as an answer.
"As far as I know, Ray loves you so much, even when you're not here, Ray takes care of himself and the views of other women, she said, because he is sure that one day you will return to him." Ulya said.
"If it's Ray, maybe I trust Ma'am. But, Mita. Honestly, my heart is not calm."
"There is nothing wrong if you talk about this matter to Ray, let your heart be calmer" Ulya said
"No Ma'am, I don't want Ray, thinking that I'm jealous. All this time I've been hurting Ray, I don't want my silly thoughts to get Ray to mind and not focus on his work."
"If Mas Niko and I always talk about whatever is in our hearts, like I feel uncomfortable if Mas Niko, does something that I don't like, I will communicate all of that, and vice versa.
Because in a household, communication is the main. lest communication be hampered, because each mind."
"That's what's on our minds, better. Communicate and never assume for yourself with our thoughts. Because what is in our minds is not necessarily true" said Ulya.
"Yes Mbak Ulya, thank you for listening to my heart, I like to have friends like Mbak Ulya, ", said Bela.
