BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER
DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP?

What happened to Ayu? Why is everything so complicated like this? Should I back off? It suddenly occurred to me to put an end to all of this because honestly this is very heavy. Having to undergo a polygamous marriage is quite complicated.

If only there was no agreement from the first wife, it might be understandable if I get this kind of chaotic treatment. But the one who brought me here was Ayu's own mother. But why does he also attack me continuously, even now plus influence his children to hate me. If this is all I can do, what else can I do. Getting out of this house is not allowed.

"Bok, I'll take Ibed and Sabrina for a moment" I asked, then passed to the room.

[What's wrong with Ayu's mom?] I can't help but feel curiosity. I'm not sure Ayu is okay with her emotions being so unstable. Although I am not a highly educated woman like her, but my instincts tell me that there is something they are hiding from me.

Not long ago Ilham replied to my message. [He was angry again, huh? I'll be home soon.]

[Mbak Ayu was already in his room,] not yet finished typing the message, suddenly there was a sound mbok Asih. Seems to be arguing with Ayu. I hurriedly grabbed the hood, exited the room to see what was going on.

"Bus ... Where are you going? Poor Ibed, Mom." pinta mbok Asih, while trying to hold Ibed in his trunk. Ibed cried again because he was pulled by two adults.

"Where are you going?" my question, in a quiet voice. I hope he is not angry anymore.

"Take me off, don't stop me. Let me go so you can settle down here and take my husband!" yell mbak Ayu.

"From the mother who left, I better get out of the mother's house. Ma'am is more entitled in this house than I am. Pity the kids anyway, mbak "I said. "I'm going out now, I don't have to go." I'm going to go to the room, get my bags and stuff.

"Ka .. Where are you going Mil?" ask Ayu with a loud voice.

"Eitherway. Maybe to the contract that my mother promised me" I replied.

"No, no. You can't go there. You're just here. Mila please don't go. You're just here. I beg you not to go. Just here!" Ayu's attitude changed one hundred percent, he who had initially exploded immediately groaned, even almost begging me not to move. Again, his attitude really confused me.

When we argued about my departure, Ilham came home shortly. He immediately brought Ayu's mother to the room.

"Bok, why is everything like this?" I'm really tired. While leaning the body on the Asih mbok who stood next to me. I can't seem to bear this burden.

"Mila's mom is patient. The mother of the good, God willing, her path will be pacified by Allah." - Asih. "Bu Ayu is also not actually a bad person, hopefully there will be a solution to this problem."

With staggered steps, I returned to the room. Ibed and Sabrina joined Asih.

Brucks. Suddenly, a pair of tiny hands pushed my body. The culprit was Hana. I was standing in front of the sink when it was a bit pushed forward. Actually, the thrust was not painful, it's just that I was shocked by what the child was doing.

"Han, why?" my many. "Why push Auntie?"

"Why break my ummah?" he asked back. The beautiful little girl looked annoyed, her face folded, perhaps holding so much anger.

Duh, what's this about? I try to be patient even though I am actually tired. I didn't hurt anyone. Not even intending to, but why continue to be accused? "Who said Auntie defied Umi?"

"Han, please don't ever mention that again or ...."

"Or what?"

His eyes looked at me sharply. I who was provoked by emotions could not hold back anymore. "Aunty is going to whip to your Abi!" I said, firmly. The children of mbak Ayu are actually very good, said mbok Asih. I'm sure of that, too, but maybe they can't accept her father's second marriage. But I also don't want to be blamed for saying again that it wasn't me who forced my way in!

"Basic of the sniffler!" he leaned his face towards me. "Eggler!"

Whether affected by the demon mana, plus anxious and upset, I unconsciously raised my hand to his left cheek to make him shocked. A small slap as an outburst of emotion. I was also shocked at what I did. A reflex attitude that I really did not intentionally.

"Let'soooooo!" Hana screamed loudly while holding her cheek.

"Non Hana why?" mbok Asih appeared. He brought a bowl of porridge that was to be given to mbak Ayu.

"Mbok, mbok must be a witness. This stepmother hit Hana!" Hana firmly. "He's evil mbok, evil. He took Abi from us, now hit Hana. We'll be kicked out of this house like in soap operas." Hana.

I shook my head. Not to be evasive about what I'm doing, but to make it clear that I don't mean to do any of that. I was so emotionally lured that I didn't consciously do it. After all, it was just a little slap that I also couldn't say a slap. And to drive them out of this house, it's obviously impossible. Hana thought too far. I'm not going to cut it off for him or Ayu. I'm not a bad person like the one on his mind.

"Evil .. evil .. evil. Hana will say Abi. You perakor stepmother!" yelled Hana again.

"Non Hana" Asih tried to appease his little master, but the little girl continued to rebel, and ran to his room.

"Mbok," I said, full of regret. "I didn't mean to hurt Hana, I ...."

"Yes Mom,"

"She said I was an actor, for the second time, which is why I was shocked. The boy ...."

"Bu Mila must be patient, do not listen even if sick. Mbok understands that Mila's mother is not the one who will have the heart to hurt the child, even though it is not the biological child of Miss Mila."

"Duh Bi, what should I do? Not yet finished one problem has arisen another problem." I hugged tightly mbok Asih. It feels heavier. I'm sure Hana will tell her father. I don't know what Ilham said.

"Let's just explain it to Mr. Ilham. I'm sure you'll understand."

"Why is everything so heavy? Should I just go, end this?"

"Don't Ma'am, pity Mr. Ilham. They need mom."

"What's up with Ayu's mom, Mbok?"

Mbok Asih chose to keep his mouth shut on the grounds that he did not know anything. Although I actually know mbok Asih is afraid of mispronouncing.
