I Was the Second
Thirteen

"Bentar Mas, I prepared dinner first in the kitchen," said Alfina.

"Wait for Al, you're here, let me prepare a meal for everyone" said Rayhan who preceded Alfina to go to the kitchen.

Alfina sat back down with her honeymoon sister accompanying the children to play.

"Later tonight, Mas Rayhan will take you to the Dek hotel, get ready, yes" said Alfina.

"Maryam I brought Mba too?" ask Zia.

"Heeh, if you bring a boy, how will you be able to honeymoon? Maryam let me be here with me, tomorrow also school holidays right, you are calm, a lot of her friends here, must be happy," replied Alfina.

"Ah yes Mba," said Zia. Zia was speechless, she was nervous thinking about tonight with someone who was still a stranger to her, confused as well as having to talk about how, the fear that was talked about in the end hurt her brother. She understood very well that Alfina from the outside looked strong, but her heart must have cried when her husband's heart and body were divided for another woman.

In the kitchen, Rayhan prepared two large trays of rice for the rest of the buffet. On it he gave a piece of fried chicken to his side dish.

"Drrt ..drrtt.." Rayhan's phone vibrated in his pocket.

"Hello Assalamualaikum" said Rayhan.

"Oh, so, well thank you, yes" he said later and ended the phone call.

Rayhan put the flat object back in his pocket. He then brought two rice trays to the living room where his wife and children were waiting.

"Eat night comes.." said Rayhan.

The children immediately wash their hands and sit cross-legged on the carpet. So did Alfina and Zia.

"This one large tray is for the children of Abi the Sholih Sholihah, which is rather small for the ummi and Ummanya, yuk eat yuk" said Rayhan.

After reading the bismillah they ate voraciously, perhaps only Zia felt awkward here, eating a handsome threesome with two strangers who had already become a couple first, he was no more than a third person.

"Eating a lot of Zia's deck, you must be tired later," said Alfina who saw Zia only eat a little and chew a long time, like knowing that Zia was feeling bad with him and Rayhan.

"Yes Mba Al" said Zia.

"Same, aaa..." Rayhan fed Alfina the rice, Alfina immediately ate the feed.

"You too Zi, aa.." Rayhan also feeds Zia, hesitatingly opening her mouth and accepting the first bribe from the man who had just said she was married to him this afternoon.

Hearing that, Alfina's heart seemed to be sliced, her husband's attention and love really divided, but he could what, he himself asked Rayhan to marry again, he could only smile, he could only smile, very hard to stand in front of them.

"Yes Zia deck, true what Rayhan mas said, here you and I are the same rights and obligations, maybe Zia deck is not used to Mas," said Alfina.

"Yes Mas, Mba Al, I am only afraid of hurting Mba Al, but by Allah in the least I have no intention of hurting Mba Al" said Zia.

"I want to apologize to you both" said Rayhan. Alfina and Zia stopped eating and talking and listened to what Rayhan said.

"I promised all my life I'd try to be fair to you both for material and affection, but I'm just an ordinary human being, maybe there's a word or deed I did that accidentally hurt you, I ask forgiveness and sincerity, also the responsibility of the husband is not only to support the wife, but the hardest is to bring the wife and child to God's heaven, because it makes me easy, because it makes me, don't you sue me if I accidentally hurt you, and never ask for a divorce from me, Al, Zi." Rayhan said.

"Yes Mas, in shayah Allah," said Zia also Alfina almost simultaneously.

After eating, Adzan isya reverberated. Rayhan and their only son Sulaiman went to the mosque for congregational prayers. Alfina and Zia prayed at home with their daughters.

After the prayer, Zia went into Aisyah's room where her purse and Maryam's were located, the plan during Zia's departure Maryam would sleep with Aisyah and Fatimah.

"Maryam his clothes are in this bag yes, later Umma will go with Abi, Maryam is fine here yes, according to ummi Sulaiman, can not fight with his brother," zia said to Maryam who accompanied her to arrange clothes to be taken away with Rayhan.

"Yes, Umma, does Maryam have a brother?" ask Maryam to Zia.

"Kan Abinya Sulaiman has married Umma, so, Sulaiman, Fatimah's sister, Mba Aisyah and Mba Khadijah became Maryam's brother all son," said Zia.

"Ah so," said Maryam.

While Rayhan was in his room with Alfina, it was the main room that had the largest room among the other rooms in the house, and the rules in the house, that was, no one can enter the room except Rayhan and Alfina.

"Al, I'll take Zia to a new house" Rayhan told Alfina who was rearranging Rayhan's suitcase, Alfina herself who chose clothes and equipment to bring to Zia's house.

"It's not still under renovation, Mas,"

"So I got a call from the exchange, it's done he said, tonight it can also be occupied, I want to be able to get used to the new place, I will be there for one week, I will be there for one week, then I'll come back here, after that alternating every three days I'll go back there and come here, every morning I'll pick up the school children, and drive them in the afternoon, I'll take them, you can relax at home with Fatimah, let it be noon Zia who takes care of Sulaiman and Maryam while waiting for Aisyah to go home from school in the afternoon," said Rayhan.

"Ah, well Mas," Rayhan's explanation seemed to answer all the questions that came to his mind.

"I'm leaving, yes" said Rayhan after Alfina closed the suitcase, and standing in front of Rayhan, Rayhan rubbed both of Alfina's shoulders, then Alfina hugged Rayhan.

"For a while Mas, just spread out, leave it like this, before Mas Rayhan really belongs to Zia's deck as well" Alfina said, drowning her head in Rayhan's arms. She wanted to feel like she was crying, but if Rayhan saw her tears would not go away, and Zia would be disappointed that the night their bride was delayed, so that Alfina could refrain from crying.
