Young Marriage (?)

20. Polygamy (?)

***

I don't know what Intan's thinking right now. He just stared quietly out the window. I don't want to ask or start talking. I just wanted to give him a chance to feel for himself.

"Tan, I'll be out for a second."

After saying that, I took Arsy out.

"Did gpp leave Intan like that?" asked Arsy when we were outside, in front of Intan's ward.

"He'll be fine. He was just thinking a little bit now. Don't worry," I replied. "Btw, where did you disappear to?"

"Abang went home first to Brother's house, it's close here. Shower and change his soles you have to work again now," he replied.

"Oh that. Yaudah there work. Intan may be allowed to go home soon. So we'll see you at home!" I said it was like I was avoiding him to leave.

"Alright, if so work brother first. Sorry can't help you guys coming home later" he said, wiping my head.

Uhh if it's like this I'm so hard to let it go, though we're still in the same hospital.

"Yes gpp!" smiling answers. My heart is sad.

I kissed the back of Arsy's hand, and he kissed my forehead then left.

Huh, the kiss was not dry yet, but I missed it.

I went back into Intan's ward. He was sitting in his bed playing on his cell phone.

"Cock get out for a second? I thought you went to eat with Brother Arsy," said Intan who seemed to be not moody anymore. The mood changes very quickly.

"Arsy has to work again. We were just saying goodbye," I replied. "Who else chat? it's serious."

Intan from earlier did not take his eyes off the phone.

"Our KKN friends are in the WA group. Check your phone. Again, discuss what items will be brought."

"Oh!" answer's short.

I don't know why when I talk about KKN I always avoid. Maybe because I always remember that I'm going to part with Arsy.

All this time I could live without Arsy. Yeah, indeed.

I'd be lying if I said I couldn't live without him.

But because I've gotten used to it, so not being with him seems empty.

"You think of Arsy?" sergeant Intan. "Listen, Fa! For a month you'll be single again. You should be happy. Just make another guy deketin. That's delicious!"

then saddled. What kind of advice is that.

"I'm loyal oyy."

If he doesn't hurt I'll have his head.

"Hey, you're not the one who said that loyal women can be kilaf," he replied, giggling.

"Fear of dying before repentance."

"Like you. It's good that you think that way, so Rio's the only one I have. Less rivals I later," he said happily.

"Oyy Rio is another story. May the khilaf be told that he is the same."

"Labile you Fa."

***

"Ateuuu!"

Arsyad who just came with Father and Mother immediately embraced the hand of Intan.

Diamond bed is quite high, while Arsyad is still short, not nyampe. He could only reach the hand of Intan.

"Miss me?" tanya Intan while stroking Arsyad's head.

The little boy just nodded.

"Where's Mama Ichad? Not coming here?" ask Intan again.

He nodded then nodded. Aisshhh what does it mean.

"Arisya is outside. They met Dafa first. I don't know what I'm talking about" Dad explained.

Intan's face changed when she heard the name Dafa mentioned, but then she immediately smiled again.

"Ichad's not in school?" his tanya might distract from Dafa and Arisya.

She shook her head.

This is just a nodding child, he replied. Arisya's sister is eating what exactly. Ish ish ish

"You're the gpp, aren't you, baby?" ask Mother to Intan. "Mother is worried. Next time don't rain again." No mama is not the same Mother, the message is like that too. I think Intan is tired of hearing. Haha!

"If it rains again and want to go home, just call Daddy or Mommy later we pick it up. Mother's child this one will rarely be sick, tibatiba knows you are sick Mother is really surprised."

"It's strange that Bund he can be sick, it's like a human being," I told him.

"Sister!" Papa has tangled me up sharply. "You're talking like Intan isn't human!" enragedly.

This Aish Papa, I'm just kidding. Besides Intan won't get hurt because I said so.

"Eh Fa, do you really think this little angel like me can't be sick huh?" intan.

See? He wasn't hurt by my words, he was narcissistic. Bidadari said. Aisshhh!

"Cihhh what angel. You may be an angel who was expelled from heaven because there is no beauty at all" I reply.

"Hey I'm not being kicked out. But deliberately migrated to earth because I'm tired of being a scramble in heaven."

"Then!" I said slap Intan's arm.

Tibatiba Arsyad hit my thigh. Aishhh what's wrong with this boy?

"Ateu Fafa where can fight with sick people," he said innocently.

Intan and the other family were already chuckling. Glad I was treated like a child.

Fortunately, there are only my parents-in-law here. If there is a doctor or nurse, I can be ashamed.

"Asalaamu'alaikum!" the doctor came.

I just talked about it too.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam!"

"It's Shara, right? arsy's friend?" ask Mother to Shara.

"Yes aunt. How are you?" answer Brother Shara.

"Alhamdulillah good. So you're the one with the aunt. If you are caring, aunt so not too worried," said Mother again.

Brother Shara has blushed.

"This is aunt's son? Brother Arsy's brother too?" ask Brother Shara.

"Yes!"

"No!"

Answer Mother and Intan simultaneously. Shara looked confused.

"I'm his wife Brother Arsy Bu Doctor," replied Intan making everyone surprised.

Brother Shara looked at me straight away. All he knows is that Arsy's wife is me.

"I'm Syifa's honey" Intan said again while grinning at me. I've been digging at him.

Shara looked even more surprised.

"I'm the second wife. Syifa first wife. If Shara wants to be the third wife, too. There are two empty places. Just so you have to be patient because Brother Arsy really likes to spoil his first wife," added Intan and then glanced at me.

Our parents already shook their heads with this Intan joke. Aishhh!

Shara's sister just blur aja. Seems like a real shock.

"Yes right, brother. There are two empty places. But so my madam has to be patient because Brother Arsy can't be as fair as he is. Always overestimate me constantly" I said. Intentionally add spice to Intan's story.

Don't let Brother Shara really want to be my honeymoon. If so, he likes Arsy.

"You guys have it. Shara, don't listen to these two boys. They really like that," said Mommy supporting our drama.

"Intan can go home now, can't you, Doc? serving them both will be endless," said Father anyway.

Shara checked Intan for a moment.

"Intan can go home. Everything is normal and she doesn't have fever anymore. You can take him home after the administration is done" said Kak Shara.

"Let Papa take care of everything!" papa said then came out to take care of the administration.

"If you'll excuse me first. Assalaamu'alaikum!"

Shara left after we returned her greetings.

As we were about to bring Intan home, we saw Kak Arisya and Dafa. Arisya's sister approached us, but Dafa only glanced for a moment and left without seeing us first. What's wrong with him ish.

"Dafa wants to go to work again, he said." Tell Brother Arisya without us asking when he gets in front of us.

"What is gpp?" ask Arisya.

"I'm well, brother!" reply Intan. "Even Ichad's arms are strong, you know" he added.

"That's lying. Ichad is heavy now. His father was not able to lift," replied Arisya.

"Father!" say Me and Intan simultaneously.

Arisya looks so wrong.

We just nod. Purapura agreed even though we knew we didn't hear wrong.

There's something Arisya's sister is hiding.

***

We also went home.

Dad and Dad went straight back to the office after dropping us off. Mama and Mommy to the flower shop of course. They didn't want to work for Intan. But Intan forbid, the person he's cured.

"Woy second wife!" I'm with Intan who's watching TV.

Garagara I called her a second wife.

"What's the first wife?" ask without looking at me.

"My phone looks like Arsy's taker."

"Lalluuu?"

Intan is still watching the TV.

"We're kepoin yuk!" take me.

"Yeah!" Intan instantly turned off the TV and focused on me.

We started opening Arsy's phone, but ZONK.

Lockable pattern.

"Well locked. How about dong Tan?" my lament.

"He loves you so much. It must be the pattern of the initials S," he said.

Intan tries to draw a pattern like the letter S. But wrong. Don't don't let Arsy not love me. Huaaaa!

"Try the letter A!" I said.

Intan tried drawing it again and IT WORKED.

Ish Arsy loves himself as it turns out. How I sniffed ya.

"Oyy Why are we so many? So not a coin?" ask Intan.

I immediately nodded.

What we peeked at was of course the chat.

Huh no fun, chatan is the same doctor. What do you expect Syifa. Expect Arsy chat to be friendly with women? aishh amitamit.

"Eh Fa's. This is Ar's who?" ask Intan.

I open the chat.

"That's me sludud!" I answered after seeing the chat and the number.

"Ar's what?"

"That means Ar. Arsy's Pune. Syifa is Arsy. Understood?" I said confidently.

"That's sure you are!" cebik Intan's.

"Of course!" my reply. "Eh try you find Arsy's chat with Shara's doctor isn't there?" manya curious.

"There's. But what is this, doctor Shara ngechat halhal smells Islamic. Most other than that I say hello," replied Intan.

"Nothing else?"

"No. But this chatnya discussing all the soul mate. Read it!" Intan handed Arsy's phone to me.

I started reading Arsy's chat with Shara. It's just islamic stuff. But it seems like this chat deliberately to code Arsy deh to make him sleepy. If you read it, you will think like me.

Discussions about the friendship of Muslim men and women, about marriage, wife sholehah, husband sholehah, soul mate and others.

Shara seems to really like Arsy.

I saw the last chat, after I counted it turns out that since our meeting at the bookstore Kak Shara started to stop sending chat to Arsy.

Hm!

Tinggg!

Tibatiba there's a chat coming in.

From Brother Shara! Why such a coincidence.

Kubaca.

About polygamy! Ebusette.

I am more interested in continuing to read.

After I read all, the point is about the benefits of polygamy and the obligation to be fair to all wives. Aisshhhhh

Intan who read it immediately gawked.

"Doctor Shara this is the doctor who took care of me?" ask Intan.

"He really believes I'm Arsy's second wife? Oh my goodness!"

Intan couldn't help but laugh anymore like that.

"Tan, if she's serious about being Arsy's third wife how?" many fear.

"Have been calm. Where does he want to be third. He doesn't like your husband, either."

"Ish it's obvious Shara's sister likes Arsy. I know so much."

"Uhhh don't know ah dizzy. Mending open a gallery of Fa. We see the photo of Abang Arsy," said Intan very excited.

I immediately stood up, not allowing her to see a photo of Arsy. If you have a photo, don't wear clothes?

"We just stop at the coin. I'm going to the room. Papay!" I said then ran to the room.

I'm still thinking about Shara. You mean Shara's sister sent this to Arsy what? To advise?

But there's a saying that suggests he's okay with polygamy. There was a saying that looked as if he was hoping for Arsy.

Did he take my joke seriously? Uhh I don't know.

'... Loving a married man becomes one of the big problems for a woman. While love is something that we cannot predict will be anchored to whom. Polygamy is like hope for women who love other women. ... '

***

We just finished dinner. Arsy's changing into a nightgown right now. I just purapura don't see. She had changed clothes in front of me many times, but I was still embarrassed.

"Fly, let's tap" I said as Arsy sat beside me. I was playing games on my laptop on my bed.

"Abang exchange," he answered casually and habitually but managed to surprise me until my laptop screen appeared, GAME OVER said.

"Why did you exchange?" my many. "Again you want to sign my hp?" my dug. "Don't believe me?"

Arsy just smiled and patted my head.

"Abang doesn't even know the password hpmu it," he said.

"Masa Abang don't know? I can just open the pattern hp Brother."

Oops! Your mouth is Syifa. Caught it.

"You open up brother? Look what?"

"Look at nothing" I replied nervously. "That's why my brother's pattern isn't my initials? Even the initials of the name of Brother. Brother doesn't love me, does he?" ask me to change the subject.

"Whose brother's girlfriend's name is hmm?"

"Pake it again. Did you forget my name?" I said angry.

"Asyifa Zulmaniar Wirlandi, where perhaps you forgot. Brother repeatedly said that name so as not to mispronounce Pas Akad," he replied calmly.

Erk! My name is Asyifa. Since when is my name Ashifa? Since lahiiiir.

Aisshhh why I forgot my own name, usually called Syifa anyway.

So that initial A is for Asyifa? Why does the garden in my heart feel bigger now.

Though I was upset, why in an instant it has changed this way.

Arsy tibatiba pinched both of my cheeks. "Why smile at yourself like that?" tanyakanya.

"What's wrong" I replied with a smile. "So why did you exchange our phones?

"Willfully, want to know what you're going to do with your brother."

"What do you think I'm going to do?" many confused.

"Hmm Brother thought you would selfieselfie in hp Brother. Considering you are so happy to photograph it. That way your brother will be full of your photos so you don't have to purify your photos anymore,"

the answer.

Aisshhh seriously think like that? Yes timing?

Arsy's wish is always simple but I can never guess.

"When you ask for my picture, I'll give you."

"If so, let's take a photo together. Memories before you leave KKN!" bring him.

Jebbb! He reminded me that we would be separated soon. Can't he come with me later?

I'm gonna miss him so much.
