Ballad First Wife
Advice to Andre and Alan Gift

After dawn, Andre did not return home immediately. He sat down while leaning on the pillar of the mosque. Kuyu's face. Andre was really dizzy thinking about Ami's request.

Andre's condition attracted the attention of Haji Karim, the imam of the mosque.

"Not come home, son?" Pak Haji Karim approached and sat down next to Andre. Andre immediately upheld his body as a form of respect for Haji Karim.

"Not yet, Mr. Haji. Still want to relax here."

Haji Karim chuckled at Andre's reasoning, "The mosque is a place of worship, not a place of relaxation" he said, continuing his laughter. "But for people who have problems, mosques are indeed a calming place." Haji Karim stared fixedly at Andre's face, "Are you in trouble?"

Andre.

"Hehehe." Haji Karim chuckled again. "Are you regretting a decision you made?"

Andre was shocked, "Ba...how did Pak Haji know?" Andre stuttered.

"Haha...." Haji Romli's laughter is louder."I don't know. I'm just guessing. And your answer just now shows that my guess is correct.hehehehehe."

Andre looked back. Yes, Andre admitted that regret began to enter his heart. After living in the house and meeting every day, Andre began to realize that Ami was not as good as he first knew. Little by little Ami showed his true nature.

"There is no kindness to women who want to be invited to cheat." said Haji Romli made Andre stunned and left his face to look at Haji Romli.

"What do you mean by Hajj?"

"Women who are willing to lower their self-esteem to infidelity, what good do you think there is to such a woman?"

Andre was silent. Yes, before deciding to get married, indeed he and Ami had an affair with Fira. Andre thought back to Fira. Selana became his wife, Fira never asked for what she could not give.

"Sometimes we don't realize how valuable what's ours is until it's gone from our lives. That's why our religion always teaches us to be grateful for what we have."

Andre was more and more bowed to hear every word that Haji Karim said.

"Although there are regrets, but as men we must take responsibility for what has been our choice because what we choose is our destiny."

"Sorry Mr. Haji, earlier Mr. Haji said that there is no kindness to women who want to be invited to cheat. If we married her, how?" Andre ventured to look at Haji Karim who was staring with a sharp look at him to make Andre look down again.

"As I said. We have to take responsibility for what our choices and decisions are. You are now her husband, so it is your duty to make your wife good if she is not good. Open up looking for a better one. One of the duties of the husband was to provide education, especially religious education, to his wife."

"But his religious knowledge is good, Pak Haji" replied Andre.

"Huhaha...."Haji Karim chuckled to hear Andre's reply. "How do you judge the science of one's religion?"

Andre silent. He seemed confused to answer Haji Karim's question. Finally he hesitantly said, "He always advised me to pray diligently."

"Continue?"

"Wear closed. When I was talking about my wife, she asked me to be patient. His attitude makes me comfortable."

"Huhaha...."

Andre was really astonished by Haji Karim's attitude. Because Haji Karim always laughs after he answers his question.

"Why is Haji laughing?" finally, Andre dared to laugh.

Haji Karim glanced at him while resting his feet. "Well.begini more comfortable. Old bones can't sit for long." Haji Karim moves his body to stretch so that his bones are more comfortable.

"We cannot judge a person's religious knowledge by what you just said. Closed clothing is a duty just like prayer. All Muslim women are required to wear closed clothing. About him always advises you to be diligent in prayer, everyone can also, about you feel comfortable confiding in him, because there is a demon playing there. You know, the devil always adorns things that are haram so that they look beautiful. Now I ask, was she as beautiful as she was when she wasn't halal to you?"

Mr. Haji is right, Mia is not as attractive as she used to be. Now I miss Fira even more despite being near Mia. Especially after seeing Fira more beautiful.

Huffs

Andre awakens from his delusion of Fira when Haji Karim takes a breath and exhales strongly.

"You've never been missteps. Don't repeat it again. You've chosen it as your responsibility to make it better."

"Sorry Mr Haji, does it seem like Mr Haji knows a lot about my problem?"

"Haha....Andre..Andre's. I'm not one to gossip, but unfortunately my hearing is still sharp. So I can hear what people are talking about even if I don't want to hear the truth. Huhh..." Haji Karim took another breath while shaking his head. His mouth moved in Istighfar.

Yes, the news of Andre's marriage with Mia is indeed a byword in the neighborhood where Mia lives. Mia who is already famous for taking lukewarm people, once again proves that the words of her neighbors are true. But Andre, at first he did not believe all that. Even when someone tells me that Mia was separated from her first husband because she was caught cheating on him with the man who later became her second husband, Andre did not criticize her. He believed what Mia said at the time. Mia said that she was deliberately grounded to repay the debts of the first husband to a rich old man who then became her second husband.

Now Andre feels his trust in Ami is getting faded over time.

"Go home. The problem to face is not to be left running." Haji Karim patted Andre on the shoulder. He tried to stand with difficulty. Andre helped her .

"You're actually a good man, son, just lost. Quickly find a way out let you foam feel the beauty and sweetness of faith."

Haji Karim left Andre who kept staring at him until he disappeared from view.

"Wuihhh.bu sekcam buy a new car." ledek Dewi as soon as see Fira get off the car.

"Hi sir..when was he invited to walk in his new car?"

"Hehe.sorry Wik. Only my women can ride in this car." Salman glanced at Fira making the woman look down embarrassed.

"Cie.still be shy. It's halal too. Uh don't tell me you guys haven't done anything yet?" The goddess looked at Salman and Fira alternately.

"You're wrong. We do it every hour!" seloroh Salman made Fira's eyes glare at him.

"Wow..!" The goddess widened her eyes looking at Fira.

"Don't be horrified. Already there, Salman said there is a need. Go there!" Fira took Salman's hand and kissed him. Salman held Fira's head and kissed her forehead.

"Duh mesrahanya. So you want marriage too."

Salman simply laughed in response to the Goddess's temptation. He then went in and drove his car after earlier waving his hand.

"Already, don't look at it. I'll see you later." Back Goddess seduces Fira.

"What the hell. Oh yeah, I haven't made a calculation with you." threatened Fira while walking into the courtyard of the sub-district office where she works.

"What about?" The goddess glanced at Fira who was walking next to her.

"On stealing the file and sending it to Brother Salman."

"Woi.if that's the case, I should have made the calculations. Shouldn't I get a gift now or at least a thank you?" balas Goddess.

Fira smiles. In the heart he justifies the words of the Goddess. He should thank you not punish the Goddess.

Their conversation stopped upon entering the office. Dewi immediately acted as Fira's subordinate before his comrades.

"For Ma'am!" greet the staff at the sub-district office when passing by Fira.

"Morning!" fira replied with a smile.

Fira went straight into his room. He checked the work on his desk.

"Lake in!"

"Mom Fira. Mother was asked to Mr. Alan's room." a staff member opened the door and delivered Alan's message.

"Yes!" Fira got up and walked towards Alan's room.

He knocked on the door and opened it.

"Mother called me?" ask Fira

"Yes. Sit down!"

Fira sat on the sofa in front of Alan's desk. Alan opened the desk drawer and took something. He approached and sat down in front of Fira.

"Take. It's a wedding gift from me." Alan put a small box on the table. Fira looked at the box.

"Sorry late. I'll let you find happiness this time." Alan's sincere words. "Receive it!" Alan pushed the box towards Fira.

"This what?" asked Fira while continuing to scan the item in front of her. Fira was worried if the one inside was some kind of ring or the like looking at the shape of the box.

"You open it if you want to know. Oh yeah, I have Salman too. Please give it to her." Alan took out another box from his pocket and placed it on top of the first box.

Fira stretched out her hand in doubt. But because he did not want to disappoint Alan for the second time, he took both gifts from Alan.

"Thank you." Fira then stood up, "I'm back in my room again."

Fira's steps came to a halt as Alan called out to her.

"By!"

Fira turned.

"I'm sorry for all my mother's words that offended you" Alan said staring fixedly at Fira.

Fira nodded. "I've forgiven him."

Fira then turned around and walked out of Alan's room. Alan breathed.

"May you accept it Ra. I kept it for a long time to give it to you."

Alan leaned his back. He closed his eyes as he occasionally let out a long sigh to expel the heavy burden in his heart.
