BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER
WHAT HAPPENED TO AYU

After breakfast, Mas Ilham took me for a walk around the hotel. The beautiful view made us feel overwhelmed. During the walk, there are many things we discussed, one of which is about the plan ahead later.

"If I may, I want our residences to be separate." I asked Ilham. It is not without reason that I asked for this right, from the story of Ilham mas last night, I concluded that Ayu was not ready to share a husband even though he arranged all this. It's natural, because polygamy is not easy. Every wife must have jealousy towards her husband, but this is a consequence of the choice that has been determined by Mbak Ayu himself.

"I also actually think like that" said mas Ilham.

"What a simple contract, the most important thing is comfortable for the three of us and the children."

"But I haven't been able to materialize in the near future, Mil. There are some things you don't know yet."

"What?"

"It's about Ayu. I can't tell you yet because I'm honestly confused about where I want to explain it from. Do you want to be patient, Mil?"

Not yet able to answer the question Ilham, my HP reads. From foreign numbers. This number was only known to my family in Sumatra, so I immediately raised it. But it turned out that my guess was wrong, the one who called was Ayu's mom.

[Where's my husband? You're my husband's son? Why didn't he answer the phone or return my message?] ask Ayu with an unusual tone of voice. His voice was hoarse with a high tone. Is he angry?

[Mbak Ayu? Oh, Ileham is here,] I said.

[I want to talk to my husband!] mbak Ayu ordered that I give Hp to Ilham mas.

"Mbak Ayu wants to talk," I leave it to the Ilham mas who looks ogah-ogahan answer the phone.

[I will die, I will die!] at first glance there was the sound of screaming Ayu. Then Ilham moved away from me. He talked to Ayu quite far away from me until there was no more conversation between them that I heard.

What happened to Ayu?

I twisted the tip of the veil, trying to find an answer to Ayu's attitude just now. Why is it so angry?

After talking to mbak Ayu, mas Ilham gave Hp to me while telling me not to answer phone calls from mbak Ayu again until our honeymoon is over.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" that curiosity I can't take anymore. I'm sure there must be something that makes Ayu mad.

"I've said, I can't explain everything now because I don't understand a hundred percent either. I still need time to find out everything in full. Actually it is also my fault, should not accept Ayu's offer to marry again before finding the answer. But I was really confused every day at the insistence to want to marry again, plus ...."

"What mas?"

"To be honest, I fell in love when I saw you for the first time in your picture, Mil. There are many women who are offered Ayu, but somehow my heart is leaning towards you when I have never met in person, only through photos."

"He doesn't want me to give you an inner living."

"But why? I am also a wife, my mother. And I also deserve an inner living like mbak Ayu. Or maybe ... Astagfirullah," I covered my mouth with my hands. The personal thing about the two of them, I should not ask even though Ileham is also my husband. Suffice the domestic affairs of a couple to be their secret both with God. Other people, even if it's honey, don't need to know. "Mas also still gives Ayu rights, right?" again I can't help myself.

"Astagfirullah, of course Mil. I don't want to kill anyone, especially my wife. That's why I was confused when we got married because everything was completely controlled by Ayu."

"Then the only solution is to split up" I said. I thought that Ayu was preventing Ilham from approaching me because of her jealousy as a wife. With their good economy, it doesn't matter if I ask for a separate residence because there is no wife who is not jealous to see her husband staying in his honeymoon room. "Let's just a simple house, most importantly all get the rights and carry out their respective obligations."

"Yes, you're right Mil." said Ilham. "But to talk about all this with Ayu also takes time. I'm not sure he'll just agree even if you ask for a small contract. You don't know the other side of Ayu, Mil. Even my husband feels alien to her sometimes."

"Would we talk about this after returning from our honeymoon?"

My HP is back beeping. Still from mbak Ayu. Mashir quickly turned off the number. He seemed reluctant to return to talk with his wife.

"It's not best to just pick it up, mas? Perhaps there is something urgent" I said.

"What's the urge that he should tell me to go home right now?"

"Perhaps Ayu needs it, mas."

"I told you what he wanted me not to touch you. That's all."

"Yes Allah ... Should we go home now? I don't want Ayu to get angry. Maybe Ayu's gonna need some time, ma'am."

"This talk of polygamy has long been proposed, Mil. Two or three years ago. During that time, I don't know how many letters he has submitted to me. He already knows the consequences. After her husband remarries, there will be a time when he will have to share time with other women. She couldn't force her husband to remarry, but when it all happened, she was against her honeymoon. That's cheating, Mil."

"But maybe Ayu needs time, Mas."

"How much longer? Even before I did, I had spoken to him four-eyes. He answered with complete confidence. Ready for all the consequences!"

"Maybe Ayu is overwhelmed right now and really needs us!"

"At home there's a mother, don't worry. You also deserve to have your turn with me. We've been married a week, it's time to be together after being delayed for a week." - Ilham stroked my head gently. "I'm tired, Mil. Do not force me to obey your wishes to return home right now. Let me rest here with you. I want to feel a little peace. You can't go along and urge me?"

I don't know how severe the problem experienced by mas Ilham and mbak Ayu. But from the look on Ilham's face, I could see he was so depressed. I can only welcome her hand, hoping to be the most comfortable place for her right now.
