- Haikal met Andri-'s mother

...“Everything is so complicated."...

...-andri-et...

Andri:

I opened my eyes and looked around. Keisha is no longer beside me. I took the phone that was on the table. The clock shows at 7. I think I'll be late for the office today. It's okay, maybe because I'm so tired. Yesterday I really did my job at the office. The job I left a while ago, I finished it.

Maybe because my emotions were overflowing, I didn't care about my lunch and my break until I was too focused on my work.

I was so tired I was lazy to move. But I had to get up because Kania was out there working with another man. Hans Pratama, the man was a friend of Kania's in the modeling class. I've guessed it if Hans must have liked Kania as well because of Hans' different gaze on Kania.

I felt very angry when I found out but who was I angry with? Kania always avoids me when I'm in front of her. And I can't just cancel the contract because it's all started. If I cancel midway maybe I should pay their huge amount of losses. Moreover, their company is quite famous as my company.

And now I must have let Keisha down for cancelling the dinner that had to be done last night. I canceled unilaterally because my heart and mind were so messed up. The dinner I had with Keisha was ruined because of my inefficiency.

I'd better take a shower, maybe with a bath all my mind back clear as ever. As I walked into the bathroom, Keisha went into the room.

“Kei,” call me.

Keisha just looked and passed me and took his mobile phone. I expected him to be angry with me. When he got his cell phone and was out of the room. I immediately pulled his hand.

“You're angry with Mas?”

Keisha removed my grip from his arm, “I'm not angry Mas.” Keisha went straight out of the room.

I can only breathe slowly. Why is this complicated. Please, whoever it is help me. My two current wives are completely avoiding me.

...******...

I got out of the room ready to go to the office. Don't forget I got the shirt eaten. There was Keisha eating his food. I sat in the chair facing Keisha.

There was fried rice prepared by Keisha. I also ate while glancing at Keisha who remained down staring at her fried rice instead of looking at me.

“I'm sorry Kei, Mas tired of so much office work.”

Keisha looked up, “If indeed you do not have time and tired because of your work Mas, you should not make an appointment to me to invite the dinner. You don't make me wish that way. And you also let me down.”

I grabbed Keisha's hand. “Ya Kei, I'm sorry. I've disappointed you. I really didn't mean to make you like this Kei. Yesterday I finished my work until I didn't have lunch because I wanted my work done quickly. I actually did it too.”

“Mas not having lunch?”

I'm nodding.

“Says you want lunch.”

“It will, but I have a promise with you that yesterday I want to dinner. So I'd rather finish my job first. It actually stays behind too,”

“Yeah my God, why don't you tell me the same anyway. I'll be the first to sulk with you.”

“I just don't want to make you worry about me Kei.”

Keisha clasped my hand. I think he forgave me. Thankfully, I also did not want him to linger over me. Because I am currently really suffering because of my problems with Kania. Maybe the comfort given by Keisha can make my heart a little calm with all this.

“I'm sorry Kei ya Mas have been acting like a child. You see I've been hoping for the same dinner, uh not even so. Because we have not been together for a long time, since you are busy with your work. I miss the same time we were both.”

I smiled hearing that, I stroked her round, white cheeks.

“No papa dear, I know what you mean. All this time you are lonely and we also rarely have time together because of my busyness. I hope you understand the condition and status of your husband,”

“Iya Mas,” Keisha smiled sweetly at me.

Yes Kei, you must understand my current condition where I am having a very big conflict. Your husband's status is not as your husband as well but as Kania's husband.

I hope you Kei can share your husband with your best friend. Because now I'm not just Kei's, but Kania's too. And I won't let you or Kania separate from me. Since I want to have you both, I don't want you to stay away from me no matter what.

Keish:

O God, I have sinned, I have been childish to my husband. And I don't understand what Andri's doing out there. He struggled to work day and night for me. But because of something he could not accept, I silenced him. I don't understand with that effort and tiredness. I can only tell if my husband has to share time with me. How selfish of me.

I can only rub this rough face of mine. From earlier my mind bounces everywhere, jeez even though today I will run a series of tests in the hospital. I didn't tell Andri and asked for prayers so that the result would be good. I keep this a secret until the results come out and I'll be honest with him. Whatever the result I will accept with a chest.

Today I went to the hospital by taxi, because I was discharged from the hospital I will go to the mother's house with Haikal. Yeah, Haikal asked me to meet with mom. I don't know why he asked for it, I don't understand either. Maybe because he already knew Andri's mother so he wanted to meet again, it's okay. I will also introduce to my mother, the doctor who has helped me in the treatment period is Haikal. I'm sure mom will be happy.

It didn't take long for me to arrive. I went inside and went to Haikal's room. There is already Haikal waiting for me with all his preparations.

“Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikumsalam, sit down first ya Kei. I'd like to pack an item bentar.”

I nodded, “Iya Kal.” I sat down and looked at Haikal who looked busy with his two nursing assistants.

“Let's not worry about Kei, there's one of my friends, she's a girl. He will take the expert when testing it. Because I know, if I did it you wouldn't. What I have is not even concerned about the test,” Haikal turned towards me for a moment and smiled.

Geez Haikal, she values me as her friend's wife when it's her job to do this. But he left this duty to his fellow doctors and it was a woman. Maybe he didn't want me to feel uncomfortable during the test. It could have been, but I liked it even though I was uncomfortable with Haikal fearing he was offended by my attitude.

“Oke Kei! Come on, let's go to the test room. There's already my friend waiting.”

I can only nod at once deg-deg and do not know what the result will be. Haikal walked with his two nursing assistants while carrying the equipment. I followed him in the back.

“Possibly the result is not now Kei, it could be tomorrow.”

I nodded again. “Why shut up Kei? Are you scared?” Haikal stopped his way and asked me. It turns out Haikal is flavorful too.

“Hehehe, you could say so Kal. I was both afraid and worried as to what the outcome would be. I'm afraid that if all this time what I've been trying to do is disappointing for me Kal. You know for yourself, my hope of having children is very big Kal. I've wanted this for years. But on the sidelines of my efforts, I do not forget to pray to the one who created my destiny.”

Haikal smiles, “Bismillah aja Kei. Whatever the result does not make you discouraged. If you fail, find another way. There must be a way, God put you through trials of this magnitude there can be nothing that God knows except us as his creation. And you are a creature of God chosen to face this trial Kei. Remember that! You are special in front of him. So, never feel like a failure.”

Hearing Haikal's words has a point, too. My heart felt calm, as calm as flowing water. I don't know since when I heard someone say it made my heart this calm. Rarely ever is. If anything, only Haikal can do it to me.

“Thank's Kal, for his motivation.”

“Iya Kei's. Bismillah yes,”

“Bismillah..”

Breath came out of my mouth and steadily Haikal and two of his nursing assistants stepped back. My heart also felt strong. More confident and confident than before. Whatever the outcome I will accept. Hope so.

Andri:

“Kania!” call me straight into the room especially.

Everyone in the room was shocked to see my arrival including Kania and Hans who were like they were chatting. Either they're both talking about what's so cool.

I also cleared my throat to feel the wrong time for now, “Hem. Pardon me! I have to do with Kania!”

“But I will start working again Sir, can't I just later?” I knew that Kania was talking like that because she was avoiding me.

“I need now!” I said firmly.

“Go there Kei, who knows if there are things to talk about.” Vania.

Good Job Vania! you are the best and understand the most.

Kania looks like she's breathing. He could not deny my orders because there were so many people in his room. I did deliberately go to his room and wanted to talk something to Kania. And I'm sure he can't refuse his boss' orders in front of a crowd. Evidently by this time he followed me out of his room. I immediately pulled Kania's hand away from her room and went to a quiet hallway, no employees passed by there.

“Aw...aw pain Mas!” Kania jerked my hand from her arm. He rubbed his arm which looked red. I accidentally made her arms red because I was afraid of being seen by other employees.

“Sorry Kan, I accidentally.”

“Partially why the hell call me? What else do you need to talk about? There is nothing more to talk about!” kania was upset. Very upset. An expression I've never seen before.

“Kan, please don't continue this photo shoot with Hans! I am jealous to see you with another man. Moreover, the poses that I think are unnatural for you my wife!”

“Your wife? Does everyone know I'm your wife? Don't you? No one knows I'm your wife!”

I just kept quiet hearing Kania's words.

“This part is my job Mas! I have to be professional in my job. Don't be selfish dong Mas! Don't attach more importance to your feelings than my job! You know if I wasn't professional in my job what would it be like? My career will be ruined! Crushed!”

“But I'm jealous to see you with another man!”

“I don't care, Mom! You want to be jealous or not, I don't care. Because I'm doing my job! So I beg of you Mas, please don't bother me anymore. Don't disturb my calm Mas, I'm tired!”

“Keep I have to how Kan so you don't keep going like this? I'm tired of fighting all the time, too. We just got married and why do we have to be like this? I want us to be like before!!! Tell me, I have to how to get us back to what we used to be?”

“Know me to Keisha Mas! That I'm your second wife.your second wife, only I trust and will be back with you as before.”

Done is the request submitted by Kania.

“Why should it be? Is there nothing else you asked for? Please, I'm not ready for that.”

“If you don't want to, it's okay Mas. But don't expect me to be like before! If we can divorce Mas. I'm tired of being hanged like this just like you. Because somehow I have the dignity of your wife, Keisha!”

Jleb has my heart because of Kania's words.

Kania was tired of me until she asked for a divorce on top of the marriage that had just been run.

“But Kan-“

“Don't look for me again until you decide your decision! The decision is yours!” Kania passed from before me.

I can't speak anymore. A divorce? Huhhh! I won't grant Kania the word divorce! Because I've been dead in love with you. There is, I will defend you. But what do I have to do to maintain my marriage to Kania?

“Agggghhhhh!!” I ruffled my hair in frustration.

Very frustrating.

Haikal:

I glanced over at the car. I smiled at Keisha who was sitting in the back, so many times he sighed. I know at this time his heart is relieved by all this even though it is completely unable to breathe with relief because the results will come out tomorrow.

I was also curious and there was a fear of Keisha's results. If the result is bad, to be honest I'm very afraid to see Keisha heartbroken. Even if the result is good, the broken heart is not Keisha but me. Because I'm the only one who knows if Andri really doesn't want to have children. I don't know why I don't know either. It's not that I don't want to tell Keisha I just don't want to interfere in their household.

Most importantly, I was only focused on healing Keisha. The rest let it be like what, I can only see and do not need to be interested in their problems.

“Belok Kal!”

“Ha?!"

“Belok!” I slammed the steering wheel to the right.

“Again what the hell?”

“Hehehe, not Kei.” Keisha could only shake his head at my behavior.

Yes, I am currently heading to Keisha's mother-in-law's house. Because I really wanted to meet him. Although Keisha chose Andri, Andri's mother chose to apologize to me. There is no hate when Keisha chooses Andri, instead I am happy with his choice and hope that one day Keisha will be happy with Andri.

Even her mother-in-law loved Keisha very much, to me it didn't worry me.

Because after all, there are now many rumors about in-laws who like to bully their daughters-in-law. Moreover, a daughter-in-law like Keisha who did not have children and was declared barren. Even her mother-in-law had kept Keisha as her daughter-in-law.

And that's one important point why I wanted to meet her mother-in-law. Because the rumors about the evil in-laws are not true, they are very false.

“Until,” said Keisha again disperse my daydreams.

I got out of the car with Keisha and went into a big house. The door was not closed, Keisha and I went straight in.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Keisha.

“Assalamualaikum.” I followed him too.

“Waalaikumsalam.” Say someone coming out of his room.

“De, this is brother bring brother friend want to see mother. About mom sleeping no?” keisha asked a man who looked younger than Keisha. Guess it must be Andri's brother.

“No, Mom just took a shower. Body is good,”

Keisha nodded in understanding, “Yaudah. Come Kal.”

“Mari,” I said politely.

“Iya bang. Please,” reply.

Keisha and I went into the room. “Mother.” call Keisha.

It looks like Andri's mother is sitting holding a book.

“Keisha? Eh? Who are you?” andri's mother looked at me.

I smiled, “I Haikal bu, Andri's friend and friend Keisha.” Andri's mother's forehead looks shriveled, maybe like remembering.

“That's mom, the doctor I told mom.”

Andri's mother's mouth also seemed rounded to understand the words of Keisha.

“Key,”

“Iya bu?”

“Mother really wants to porridge across the alley, can buy mom no?”

“Let me buy bu.” My bargain.

“Ah, let Nak Keisha aja”

“Iya ma'am, how many servings?”

“3 aja. Make you as well as your friend”

Keisha nodded, “Kal, I went to buy porridge first huh. You were my mother-in-law first. If you need anything, there's my sister-in-law outside.” I also smiled.

“Be careful Kei.”

“OK!”

When Keisha came out and heard the sound of a motorbike passing by andri's mother called me, “Sit here Nak!”

I was sitting on the bed, but I was surprised by Andri's mother who held my hand. His two eyes were glazed over, I don't know why he was like this.

“I remember you, son, you who had ta’aruf with Keisha. And now you meet Keisha again as her doctor. I'm grateful if you guys meet again like you used to,”

“Bu, what's up? Why did my mother suddenly cry. Same story, what is it? Did something happen?”

“You take again Keisha Nak, I would like to nak Haikal.”

I was surprised not to understand what Andri's mother said, why she suddenly said that.

“Indeed you deserve to make my beloved daughter-in-law happy compared to Andri. He's already hurt Keisha, son Haikal.”

“M-mean mother what?”

“Mother's son remarried without Keisha's knowledge. He already has another wife behind Keisha,”

Degh's!

My heart stopped suddenly and it was long enough. My breath was also stifled at hearing those words. Andri's? Marry again? So he cheated? Andri polygamy? How could?

“Nak Haikal, please take Keisha from Andri. Andri does not deserve to have a wife as good as Keisha. And Keisha did not deserve to have a husband like Andri who had betrayed Keisha behind her. Please happy him, son, only you deserve to belong to Keisha.” Andri's mother's cry grew even more when she said that.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did ya? Is this really the reason you don't want to have children? Because he has another wife behind Keisha? Really it?

...*****...

Along the way I kept remembering Andri's mother. When I looked at Keisha earlier, it seemed that from the look on her face it was true that she did not know what was going on with her husband.

Astagfirullah, why should I be caught up with this situation.

I decided to go home when Keisha came and Andri's mother chose to pretend to sleep for fear of being caught by Keisha for crying. Keisha didn't come home with me, she chose to stay there first.

I could only rub my face trying to wake me up not to get dizzy with the words of Andri's mother. But now God is showing that in front of me. I saw Andri on the side of the street with a bunch of office guys. I also decided to stop my car.

Apparently there was a photo shoot. I looked at Andri's gaze who was staring at the female model. Is she Andri's new wife?

“This is what makes you not want to have children Ndri? You have another wife without Keisha's knowledge?”

Andri looked surprised as I said that right next to her as she focused too much on the female model. She was a model who lived in an apartment with me, it was only fitting that I met Andri. Turns out this is the reason she went to my apartment, she met Kania, Andri's second wife.

Now get you Andri!
