BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER
THE LIGHT ON THE FACE OF AYU

Mother and children are still arguing. Both show testimony that raises the pros and cons about mbak Ayu. I could only listen, not daring to open my voice because I realized that this was not my realm.

At that moment, the bell rang. Shortly enter mbak Ayu and mas Ilham. They returned home after two days in the apartment.

"Assalamualaikum mother, children ... Mila's. Sorry yes, we just came home, actually still want to linger in the apartment, but ... Umi misses the children of Umi. So hurry home!" exclamation mbak Ayu.

His face showed a cheerful expression. Unlike the usual Ayu. I even caught the hue on both of his cheeks as he occasionally stared at Ilham's mas. While the stared at chose a silent thousand languages. Even when asked, there was not much response.

What happened to Ilham? Why is it getting colder? I bit my lips hard, worried that he was angry at the stupidity I was doing.

"Oh yeah, have you eaten yet?" ask me Ayu.

"I've eaten, we've eaten!" Hana represented.

"Yahhh, even though Umi wants to ajakin you guys eat outside. Umi want to buy you guys to eat." said mbak Ayu.

"Why all of a sudden?" Hana frowned. "It's usually hard to eat together outside except to celebrate something."

"Because Umi is happy. Ahhh, so happy!" Mbak Ayu immediately struggled spoiled on the left arm mas Ilham.

Seeing the two of them come back close, I felt happy. Looks like my plan worked. Hopefully after this it will improve in the future.

"Mil, can we talk to you for a second?" ask me Ilham. "I'll wait in your room!" ian walked into the room.

At first glance, I saw the smile on Ayu's face fade away. While the others immediately turned their eyes to me. Like a defendant, I'm really clumsy. It was hard to step into the room, but Ileham called, and I could not refuse his call.

"What's up, mas?" I asked when we were both in the room.

"Why are you doing all this?" he does not seem to like long-winded, straight to the point of the problem.His face also looks upset. Like I wanted to swallow me up right then and there. Maybe so upset.

"I'm sorry if what I did was wrong. I just ...."

"What's? You don't like being with me?"

"No. It's not so, mas. What wife does not like to be with her husband. It's just that I feel zolim if spending time with mas semnetara mbak Ayu does not get the right."

"You know what you have about my other wife's rights? Just tell me honestly, if you don't want to then I'll never push again!"

"No, really." Me and Ilham are still arguing.

"Then why did you go and tell Ayu to replace? You know how upset I am? It's such an insult to me, Mil. After being together, I guess you can feel my love. Even though you haven't been able to return the favor, at least pretend to appreciate my feelings. Not to be otherwise. Leaving me without saying a word, making a plan that really doesn't make sense!"

"How could I possibly refuse a man who has already secretly become king in my heart." I said, embarrassed.

"What's Mil? Try saying it again. I didn't hear clearly. Come on Mil, say it again!"

"It's okay, ma'am."

"alright. I love the mas..I love you so much and wish you were by my side until the end of my life."

"Do you really love me?"

"Of course mas, of course I love mas very much and hope to be filial until the end of my life in mas. I've thought of no one else but you."

"Prove, Mil. Prove that it's true. I don't want to be lied to."

"With what shall I prove."

"Use all your duties as a wife. Never do anything like yesterday again. I don't like the decisions you make. I understand you want to get me and Ayu back together, but I don't like it when you leave me like that. I felt like a man who was dumped by his wife. You don't know how shocked I was when Mil woke up and saw Ayu by my side, not you!"

"I'm sorry, but promise me you'll also treat Ayu well. Remember, she is also the mother of her children. I have two wives and I have to be fair!"

"Alright, I promise to try to be fair to both of you" promised Ilham. Before leaving my room, he kissed me on my forehead. It felt like this heart had calmed down when he was already Ridha with what I was doing.

***

Mashal really proved his promise. He who was originally cold began to return attention to mbak Ayu and the children. Now, at the dinner table began to sound babbling children answered by their father to produce laughter. Even the usually cold Iqbal began to smile occasionally, even laughing with his brother. Here I realized that it turns out the sense of humor Ilham is quite good too.

"This is what our household actually looks like, Mil" said Ayu, suddenly, while we were both still at the dinner table. Meanwhile, Ilham and the children have moved to the family room. "Full warmth" he added. "And we don't need another woman as an extra in our family."

"What do you mean, mbak?" my many.

"You don't have to pretend to be stupid, Mil. We have been happy from before. But that happiness was lost because of your presence!"

"I?"

"Yes Mila. Because of your marriage and the marriage of Ilham, the children become moody. Their attitude turned cold, and so did their father. Our family's fucked up ...."

"But the one who wanted this wedding the most. You forget who proposed to me to be Ilham's wife? It's mbak itself!"

"Yes yes. I know and I won't forget it's Mila. So you don't have to repeat it again. Let's just say it was a mistake and I've got the sap on my own. Now I regret it and want it all back to the way it was."

"What does Ayu look like?"

"I became the only wife of Ilham!"

"Astagfirullah. I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I will not leave the life of Ilham, unless he divorces me himself!"

"Mila .. dare you yes!"

"I'm sorry, marriage is not a game. Which at any time can change the heart seenao mbak.!" Not wanting to continue the debate, I passed towards the room. Leaving Ayu alone at the dinner table
