I Was the Second
Twelve

After meeting Zia with her previous mother-in-law, Zia hesitated to continue her marriage plans with Rayhan. But both her parents still support her.

"It's up to you Iko, you can only pray for the best, but come back, think Maryam, it's still that small, and she's happy with Rayhan's son, too, you are also young, you deserve to be happy" said the mother when she arrived at Zia's rented house.

"Iya Iko, if you abandon your intention to marry because of Ilyas' mother, will they feed you and Maryam? Do they also think about the school and Maryam's future? Also Maryam must be disappointed because she has agreed that Rayhan became a father, he continued, all this time the father can only help you just, can not be enough for the cost of living and school Maryam in the city," said Father.

Zia, just speechless to hear the opinions of her father and mother. His heart felt stifled with his father's words. Indeed until now he still often troublesome his mother's father.

"Sorry Iko yes Sir, Mom, until now still like to trouble the father of the mother," he said.

"This is Allah we sincerely son, whose name parents certainly do not want their children to have trouble, you also go to Maryam" said the father. Zia simply nodded, understanding what her parents said.

"Iko, pray Istikharah first Mr. Bu, ask for guidance with God, to be further stabilized again by the choice of Iko," said Zia.

And that day came...

After Zia had her heart fixed, the marriage contract was carried out. The marriage contract was carried out in the house of Rayhan and Alfina, because their house was quite large, and the house that Rayhan provided for Zia still had a little renovation. They invited their extended family, neighbors, and study friends.

Rayhan and the family were also invited guests or men were in the living room, while Zia was accompanied by Alfina was in the middle room of the house which was spacious like a hall, of course with family and invitation of the newspaper or women.

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Risqo Fauziah bint Abdullah Amin with a gold jewelry dowry of ten grams paid in cash" said Rayhan steadily.

"Well!"

"Well!"

Speak witnesses and invitations.

"Alhamdulillah." said Rayhan. Also Alfina and Zia were hugging each other. Both crying... Either happy tears, or tears of sadness, for now they officially share a husband. Zia who had realized from the beginning that she had no right to control Rayhan completely, and Alfina who had to get used to this situation.

Although she herself chose a wife for her husband, but whose name is female must hurt if her heart and body are divided for other women. But Alfina soon realized, they were watched by many eyes in the room, she did not want Zia to be a gossip for people because of being a second wife.

He wiped away her tears as well as Zia's tears.

"Already Deck, this is our happy day, from now on we intend all with worship" said Alfina. Zia nodded and smiled.

"Yes Mba, and I'm sorry Mba, if there will be a time when I accidentally make Mba Al hurt," said Zia.

"Yes, equally, you are my sister, I love you because of God, I also apologize if accidentally hurt you," said Alfina and they re hugged.

Though polygamy is also sharia for those who are able to carry out. Alfina and Zia were undergoing, but the one watching was busy dizzyingly discussing them.

After that they took photos with their families and newspaper invitations. And after the buffet meal provided on the front porch for the invited guests of the Brotherhood, and by the pool for the invitation of the press, the guests and the family one by one return.

My mom and dad also went home.

"Mother don't come home first, I'm still confused here" said Zia who hugged her mother.

"Eh, soon it's dark, can be our night later," said Mother.

"This is your sister's house, believe me they must love you and treat you well" said the mother. With a heavy heart, Zia let go of her embrace and allowed her mother's father to return to the village.

"The father of Zia ya nak Rayhan, now Zia and Maryam is your responsibility the world and the hereafter" said the father to Rayhan.

"Yes sir, in the Lord, father and mother do not worry, I will take care of them and make them happy" said Rayhan.

Zia's father and mother then went to use a second car that you just bought with his savings.

Zia and Maryam were living in the Rayhan family.

"Mas" said Alfina.

"Yes Al" said Rayhan.

"That's his new wife who has not been greeted" said Alfina.

Rahyan smiled and realized, from the agreement she said earlier, Zia had legitimately become his wife.

"You guys have a chat first, I'll have dinner ready" Alfina said.

"Al, wait," said Rayhan who was holding Alfina's hand.

"What?" ask Alfina.

"We take photos together first, the pump has not changed clothes, and the pump has a catering Mba, can be asked to make a photo, please" said Rayhan.

Then they took pictures, Rayhan in the middle and Alfina as well Zia to his left right, their five children standing in front of them. Rayhan's hand hugged Alfina's shoulder as well as Zia's. Zia was very surprised, suddenly her body stiffened and her breath was held back when Rayhan touched. Rayhan who noticed it whispered something in Zia's ear.

"Relax Zi" whispered Rayhan. Instead of being relaxed, Zia was getting tense.

'Rileks Zia... relax..huuh huhhh.' he said in his heart while arranging his breath.
