In front of the glass I still hold myself. Honestly, I feel fascinated by my own appearance tonight. Looks different from me who is usually shabby with an old and that-that's it, but this time wearing a long bone-white robe.
"God, beautiful are you Mila!" I said to myself. Things I never did before. "This must be thanks to the long robe that Ayu bought!" I smiled, but then the smile disappeared after remembering the incident earlier this afternoon. Sorry to have said that Ayu is not good, but actually he is good. The proof, already bought me a dressy robe like this. It must be very expensive. Ma'am Ayu is really good.
Tonight there will be a feast of thanksgiving between me and Ilham. This was all arranged mbak Ayu as a welcome as well as introducing me to their colleagues. However, Ilham and Mbak Ayu are very respected and have many acquaintances, that is why the marriage of Ilham with me must be announced so that there will be no misunderstanding. To avoid slander. As someone who is known to be pious, things like this are very sensitive. Open is the right choice.
Still engrossed in the glass, suddenly the sound of the door being knocked. Mbok Asih apparently. He said that there were already many guests coming, the event was about to start, so I was asked to go ahead to meet everyone. Mbok Asih was told by Ayu to call me.
"Duh, how ya. I'm nervous" I said, after I got to the middle of the trip. These footsteps stiffened as soon as they heard the sound of laughter from the living room. From his voice it seemed like many were present.
"Lho Mila, awaited from earlier, even stay here. This again, mbok Asih, told to bring Mila to the front and even park here!" suddenly Ayu appeared. Seeing her looks so luxurious, with a long white dress and matching veil and decoration that I believe the price is not cheap makes me want to step back. I thought it would be the most beautiful, but who would have thought, Ayu's appearance was much more stunning. Now, the dress I wear instead looks slammed compared to what was worn mbak Ayu. "Come Mil!" mbak Ayu slightly pulled my hand to immediately walk forward.
"No Mila. Don't think shit. It's good that Ayu bought you a nice dress like this. Actually, it could be that the dress worn by mbak Ayu costs the same as you, but maybe because it is worn mbak Ayu so it looks more luxurious." I remind myself not to just think bad.
Ayu's mother was used to wearing luxury items, so it was natural that she looked more graceful and luxurious than me who if dressed always as is. The game I had was only three pieces, it was already shabby all inedible age, plus one sheet of the best gift of the Goddess Union mine.

This Thanksgiving event was attended by many people. The living room is large enough to be full to the inside. As soon as I came out with Ayu, everyone immediately looked at me. A look that I don't know what it means. Clearly, not a few saw me from top to bottom.
Mas Ilham also explained about his second marriage. He stated that everything was approved by Ayu. Even this all happened at the request of Mbak Ayu herself who felt able to share her husband. The goal is to find a wife for her husband solely because of worship.
Awe is flowing. Praise goes to Mbak Ayu. His sadness is also glorified. Just imagine, looking for a husband to marry another woman is not easy. His heart must be really big and Ayu has done it all.
"I really didn't think you did it. Find a second wife for your husband. I thought you were just kidding, Yu. It turns out you did it and you alone prepared everything. Really, you really are an amazing woman, Yu. Your heart is really good. Not all women with the title wife Saliha are able to do it. If you have this, you deserve to be the mother of the chairman of the foundation to accompany mas Ilham." praise friends mbak Ayu.
"Bene Yu. Moreover, the woman who is your honey sister is also young even though your beauty is compared. But still, there will be competition between you and your partner. Are you ready for all that, Yu? You are sure you will not be jealous later, considering he is younger and has not had children. While you, have an extraordinary busyness, the children have a lot and your age on it." added another friend.
"The jealousy will one day definitely appear even though between me and Mila is fine. It's a woman's nature, especially about her husband. But God willing I already know how to manage all that. I accept Mila as she is. He was young, far away from me. But Mila's not a girl anymore. He was married and had a daughter. The reason I chose her was also because I knew Mila needed my help to secure her life and her child's. So, everything was thought of by me. Not just mere lust." replied mbak Ayu with his leisure.
"Wow, you're really amazing, Yu. Your heart is truly an angel. We are very salute. It is fitting that Ilham loves you so much, it turns out that you are not an ordinary woman, but already like an angel. The future of heaven's angels!" reveal the other.
The compliments are still being said. I who stood beside Ayu's mother like an aide could only listen without saying a word.
"Mbak Mila is really lucky to have a honey sister like Ayu. Madam Mila must remember, stay good to Msbak Ayu. Never be bad, even if you only think about it. Remember, Ayu has raised the degree of mbak to be the second wife of Ilham. So never betray Ayu like most second wives who stab the first wife in the back. Remember that. We are all on Ayu's side, if there is anything we will stand at the front to protect Ayu. So if you have bad thoughts, please rethink to do it so that you do not lose yourself!" firm friend mbak Ayu.
Not only one who interested me, but enough so that I keep the feeling mbak Ayu, not cheating on him let alone think evil to shift the position mbak Ayu. Of course the warnings were successful in making me even more speechless. Already do not know anyone, even continue to be suspected as if going to make a big mistake that I myself actually did not think of anything. Although only the poor were previously widowed, I never had any ill intentions in this marriage.
