Huan stared at the couple in turn, it was not difficult for him to persuade them to meet a promise for the sake of his beloved woman. The meeting was held at a location not far from the pesantren, there was no one there other than the three of them.
"What makes you want to see me and my wife?" ask Joseph to the point.
"I don't really want to interfere in this, but I have to intervene when others are victims of helplessness."
Yusuf glanced at Aisha for a moment, then looked back at Huan in his confusion.
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Look, I hope you're not offended. It's about Adiba."
"Adiaba? Why why?" asked Aisyah who was also curious, the urgent tone impatiently heard the further words from Huan.
"I'm sorry that I was so presumptuous to know everything, I know your intention to marry Joseph to Adiba. I see you love each other, even you big-hearted women share your husband with other women. But have you ever thought about Adiba's feelings? A second, a minute, or an hour?"
"What do you mean, Huan?" joseph began to clench his hands.
"You love each other, you should not be selfish in sacrificing Adiba's feelings for the sake of getting offspring."
"But the wedding is just a few days away."
"Yes, it's not too late to cancel."
"No. The marriage will continue" said Aisyah, who desperately wanted a child, the feeling of a wife waiting for line two for many years never came true. She is very sad because she is not yet the perfect woman for her husband, her heart aches whenever people and even the closest family ask her when she will get pregnant.
Huan looked at Aisyah. "By sacrificing the feelings of others? Does that not include selfishness? You want a child, but why make someone else a victim? Do you know how Adiba really feels?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll still marry Adiba."
Huan clapped his hands and laughed grinning. "You guys are a very compact couple, there are many ways to get a child. Moreover, your marriage has lasted eight years, have you forgotten how God can do it? And you Yusuf .. are you sure you can be fair later?"
"Don't talk to me about fair or not, you shouldn't interfere. Marriage counts the days, and we won't back down."
"good. Let's solve this problem with family, and need to ask how Adiba feels."
"What's your reason for asking us to step down?" asked Aisyah who was very curious. "Do you love Adiba?"
Huan nodded. "Yes, I love her, but my love won't be forced on her."
The couple fell silent, Huan's words were true. They are too selfish to have a child, but an eight-year marriage does not want to be broken for the sake of a third person.
"Isn't love the nature of every person? You love each other, what about Adiba? At least you ask first what he wants, need to talk about before it's too late."
Huan said his greetings and passed away from that place, he did not know whether his plan was successful or not, yet he had already tried. "Adiba, I'm willing that you marry another man. But I have to know first, whether the man you're with really loves you," his inner self, who remembers the grief of the idol.
Throughout the night, Adiba spent his time praying before the Khalik, asking for guidance in the third of the night by praying with tears as a witness. He resigned, and gave it all up to the Lord of the universe, an unchangeable destiny no matter what.

There were a lot of people in the living room of Kyai Abdullah, everyone concerned was present there. Adiba swallowed the saliva with great difficulty, as if stuck in his throat.
"Bi, what's the matter?" asked Adiba who saw the large number of people, whispering while they were in the kitchen.
The middle-aged woman smiled and clasped Adiba's body. "This prayer will work."
"Please explain it to me, Bi."
"It's about your marriage to Joseph, you just listen to their decision."
"Sorry, where's the bathroom?" my question came at the wrong time, two women of different ages immediately stopped whispering.
"At there." Show the woman gently.
I smiled and nodded, bringing the Queen to the bathroom while the King was still standing staring at Adiba.
"Mother, come!" whining Queen who kept pulling my clothes, I was forced to leave the King with them.
Adiba smiled and crouched down looking at the boy who was still stunned to see him. "What's your name?" tanyanya gently.
"Kings. Why are Aunty's clothes all black? Isn't it hot?"
Adiba smiled and was amused. "It just so happens that today I wear black, in the closet there are still other colors, and the clothes are not hot because I'm used to it."
"Said uncle Huan, you are my Aunty." Ceplos Raja made Adiba frown, the middle-aged woman next to Adiba offered a variety of snacks so that the boy did not dismantle it first.
Adiba stared at the departure of the aunt and the boy. "What does that mean?"
The woman left in front was only Aisyah, feeling bad she walked into the kitchen and joined in helping the others prepare dishes.
After a few minutes and the dishes were available, kyai Abdullah called everyone and talked about Adiba's problem. Everyone listened, without any exception. That speaks only the male side, and the female side when necessary.
Debate, perseverance, and different thoughts become one. However, the decision remained in Adiba's hands. The woman fell silent after listening to what had happened, she was very surprised when it came to the termination of the betrothal with Joseph, and Huan became a substitute.
"W-what's all this?"
"Yes, Adiba. Son of Joseph and his wife Aisha wanted to ask something, and rigidly had to answer it without any coercion, pressure, or thought. It concerns the future of your life, so answer the truth that comes from your heart."
"Good Uncle."
"Adiba, you know my intention is to marry my husband. Abi and I will not force you, are you willing to accept this match and marry my husband?"
Adiba did not reply, he fell silent lowered his head. "I don't know," he said.
"Tell me, honey," persuaded his aunt.
"I'm sorry Ayesha …."
Aisha and the others already understood what Adiba wanted, Huan hoped that he who became Joseph's successor could be accepted.
"Does that mean you received a proposal from nak Huan?" asked Kyai who was looking seriously at her nephew.
"I'll leave it to Uncle, if he's my match .. I'll take it."
Aisyah clasped her husband's hand, her desire was forced to be postponed because she did not want to be selfish. Joseph replied as a sign to strengthen the heart.
"Bi," said Aisyah who looked at her husband nanar.
"Umi is right, we will try even harder, but not by presenting others in our household" whispered Joseph to strengthen his wife.
"Yes Bi."
"I was also an orphan, but my brother became his only family, even though we had no blood ties. I brought the family to propose to Adiba" said Huan, who had urged.
Ken was upset with Huan which should have been his dialogue.
The gripping situation slowly melted and warmed, they laughed and accepted the marriage that Huan would replace. Of course his mission has been successful to get Adiba, no matter what the past of the woman is.
