I Was the Second
Eleven

While conversing with Alfina, someone approached them.

"Zia!!! Is this really you Zia? What are you doing here? Where's Maryam?" ask the woman.

"Mama.." said Zia who was also surprised.

"This is her mother Maryam Mba Al," said Zia introduced Alfina to the woman.

"Oh Ma'am, I'm Alfina" said Alfina introducing herself.

"Yes" said Ilyas' mother.

"Mba, we move private room yuk, please call Rayhan mas, I would like to ask permission from the mother of Ilyas mas this," whispered Zia to Alfina. Alfina nodded and picked up her phone to contact Rayhan.

"Thank God we met Ma, sorry we haven't been able to go home, mama how are you?" ask Zia.

"Well, where is Maryam, how do you enjoy walking with your friends" said Mama Ilyas with a style of speech that is like that.

"Well, Ma, we move into the room yuk, there's something I want to say, all of us eat or drink tea," said Zia. Mama Ilyas agreed to move into the cafe's private room.

"Who's mom here?" ask Zia.

"Sama Rizki, but still shopping, mama tired so choose to wait in this cafe, she knows to meet you," said mama Ilyas.

"Yes Ma, Ma used to drink," Zia said after the service to deliver several cups of jasmine tea to the room.

"Actually you want to say what the hell, how to move here all?" mama Ilyas asked after sipping her tea and putting the cup back in front of her.

"Ehm, look Ma, actually I want someone to propose," said Zia tried as calmly as possible, because honestly she was very scared with her mother-in-law, they had been living together for a long time, and Zia was always obedient and submissive to her mother-in-law.

Meanwhile, in play ground...

"Sir, Mom, I want to follow Alfina and Zia first, there is a need with me, I'm sorry but can I leave the kids for a moment?" rayhan asked his future father-in-law.

"Oh yes, ga pa pa, maybe they need help, finish your business first, let the father of the mother who takes care of the children here, just calm down," said the father.

Rayhan immediately crossed over to Alfina and Zia's shopping area, and headed for the cafe in the food court in question.

"Applying? Wh who? A widower or a virgin?" asked Mama Ilyas, of course he was very surprised by what Zia said, according to him that a year was too soon if Zia forgot her son Ilyas who had died first.

"Someone, um..." Zia looked stammered and hesitated to tell the truth, knowing that this would be the response of her in-laws.

"You want to be a second wife? Want to be your actor? You cheap lady! Not long ago died her husband, already desperate to find another man! You don't know yourself, where would I put my face if the neighbors know you're getting married this soon, with someone else's husband!!" Zia and Alfina were only wide-eyed to see Ilyas' mother yelling at Zia.

"Look mom, it's been ten years since Ilyas's father was still loyal alone," continued Ilyas' mother is not satisfied to wear Zia. Zia shed tears of remembrance after Ilyas died, Ilyas left nothing for her and Maryam, only a wedding ring that she later sold to survive.

"Ma, mama is still loyal, because papa left home also a large rice field for mama to manage, and again Ilyas was an adult, if ndak wrong already finished college, " zia said with a tone so sad.

"Mama knows for herself, me and Maryam came out of the house just carrying our clothes, no savings, because most of Ilyas's salary was for mama and Rizki, me and Maryam are very difficult Ma" said Zia who continued to cry. Not becoming weepy because of Zia's words and cries, Mama Ilyas got angrier she slapped Zia's cheek.

"Plakk!!" sounds very loud. Coinciding with that Rayhan entered the private room. He was very surprised by what happened.

"Enough!!" rayhan said as Ilyas' mama was about to slap Zia again.

"Who are you? Just meddle in people's affairs" Ilyas' mother told Rayhan.

"I'm Zia's future husband" Rayhan said.

"Al." said Rayhan gave the code to Alfina to calm Zia, Alfina hugged Zia. Seen bloodstains on Zia's veil, Alfina immediately peeked behind Zia's veil and right the corner of Zia's lips bled, she immediately wiped it with a tissue and helped Zia change her veil, fortunately Zia always carries a change of face veil and socks when out of the house, afraid of boredom or how.

"Oh you are that man, I want to be the same cheap woman like Zia," said Mama Ilyas who was getting hot in the ears who listened.

"Dek Zia cheap? Where are the cheap people from, Mom? Precisely because she is so precious, I want to marry her, and again do you know the difficulty of Zia and Maryam deck living alone without anyone to support her?"

"Yes cheap, the proof would be the actor,"

"Here there is no such thing as actor Ma'am, my wife has agreed to my wedding plans with deck Zia, nor are we having an affair or anything that violates religion, we just want to get married, " rayhan.

"With or without the mother's consent, we will still get married, and one more thing you need to remember, we could have on behalf of Maryam claim the right to inherit the house and rice fields left by the mother's husband who passed on to the mother's two children, of course the part of Ilyas should have belonged to Maryam as his heir," rayhan.

Hearing that, Ilyas' mother became angry.

"And again, the loud slap that mother did on Zia's deck earlier seemed like we could also report as persecution, mother could see her lips bleeding," rayhan said as he pointed at the red-stained veil of Zia.

Mama Ilyas shuddered even more, fearing being reported to the police.

"Huh! Whatever you want, if you get married again, if it's harder, don't ever find us again!" mama Ilyas said then immediately went out of the hot place.

And at the door was Zia's father, his eyes were very red withstanding anger, and he heard all the commotion inside. I glared at Mama Ilyas, as if to prey on him.
