I Was the Second
Twenty Six

Drrrrt...drrt. Rayhan took the phone and scrunched his forehead after seeing who called his young wife.

"Who's calling me these nights?" ask Zia.

"Rayhan's? Who's Rayhan?" ask Rayhan.

"Let's go Mas, don't pick up, I want to tell Mas Ray first" said Zia. Rayhan let the call stop on its own then turned off Zia's phone.

"So when Maryam's walk to the game yesterday, Mas Ray's video call me, I'm done, I want to enter my phone into the bag, suddenly from behind, I want to enter the bag, something hit me, so my phone fell, it broke the corner,"

Rayhan turned to Zia's phone and saw one of the corners actually break. Then he looked back at Zia's explanation again.

"Continue,"

"Continue saying he wanted to be responsible to change his phone, but it was not fitting at that time, because he was in a hurry, tomorrow he wanted a marriage contract, he said,"

"So ..."

"Yes, so he asked for my contact so he could call me again about him changing this phone,"

"Why did you just give Zi your contact?"

"I've said it's Mas, don't need to be replaced, after all it still works normally, he's not good he said, keep me looking he doesn't seem like a bad guy, either, she was also getting married back then, and now she's probably married, so I'll give you my contact number, too,"

"Zia, tomorrow I buy a new phone, you block the man's number" Rayhan said.

"Ga need Mas, no need to change the phone, still can be used anyway,"

"But the man..."

"Mas Ray is jealous.." teased Zia.

"Yes obviously, the person I love exchanged mobile numbers with another man" Rayhan Manyun said.

"Yes, I'll answer him later if he calls, or sends a message, we finish you well, yes,"

"OK," said Rayhan.

"It's so good to be jealous, if I am, I want to be jealous of Al," Zia looked sad, and Rayhan stroked her back.

"You're actually jealous if I'm in Alfina's house?" ask Rayhan.

"Yes it is Mas, must be jealous, but want how else, I'm just like the word dipinjemin, yes must be sincere if the owner takes it again, ntar also pinjemin again," replied Zia.

"Already, what matters tonight is me for you, turn off the light Zi,"

.

The next morning, Zia was cooking in the kitchen, Maryam was waiting for Ummanya to finish cooking, she was sitting alone in the dining room.

"Where is Umma? How did Maryam wake up and see Abi, did Abi return to Sulaiman's house?" ask Maryam.

Zia smiled at her son's words.

"Abi since dawn was to the mosque dear, after the dawn prayer, usually abi waiting for the sunrise, after that new prayer shuruq, well just returned home," replied Zia.

"Assalamualaikum," said Rayhan who had just been discussed.

"Waalaikumussalam warohmatullahi wabarokatuh" said Zia and Maryam.

"Daddy!!!" exclaimed Maryam who immediately jumped hugging Rayhan. Rayhan was surprised and smiled broadly, how much he looked so happy with him, and loved him. Then Rayhan took Maryam sitting on her lap in the dining chair.

"Abi, said Umma Abi pray syuruq first, why not just go home?" ask Maryam.

"Because Allah has promised a great reward to those who pray shuruq or pray isyroq,"

"From Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet shalallahu alayhi wasallam said.“.Whoever performs the prayers of shambuh with a name’ then he sits down while reciting to Allah until the sun rises, then he performs the prayers of two raka’at, so it is like getting the reward of hajj and umroh.” He also said, “That's perfect, perfect and perfect.”," continued Rayhan.

"Oh so," said Maryam.

"Well, the breakfast is ready for Maryam" Zia serves a plate of rice with scrambled eggs and vegetables.

"Let's drink this first the same Umma, breakfast again later yes Mas, drink this herb first," said Zia who put a mug filled with warm water yellow.

"What is Zi?" ask Rayhan.

"Curmeric peel, galangal, cere, ginger, poured hot water, if it's warm aga given lemon juice, honey, the same Himalayan salt," replied Zia.

"Make what?" Rayhan lifted the mug, smelled the contents, and sipped a little.

"Let's be healthy Mas" said Zia.

"Enak Zi, be smart, ma'am shea Allah," said Rayhan enjoying a warm drink made by his young wife.

"Mas Ray likes it?" zia asked, Rayhan nodded and smiled.

"Then, later tonight I will make God again" said Zia happy people she loves like what she made.

"Maryam ate first, Abi wanted to grab a cell phone in the room," Rayhan dropped Maryam off his lap and went upstairs.

"Umma, Maryam, can you ask for something to eat in the afternoon?" ask the little girl.

"Maryam wants what?" ask Zia.

"Fried chicken from the shop of Ummi Alfina," said Maryam.

"By Umma?" ask Maryam.

"May, later in the afternoon in shaa Allah we buy fried chicken there yes," said Zia.

"Zi," call Rayhan as he descends the stairs.

"Yes Mas" said Zia.

"Children delivered Alfina, she will nemenin Amala guard the shop, Nisa employees again sick," said Rayhan who had just read a message from Alfina.

"Oh, yes Mas, hold Maryam..."

"Maryam was picked up here, you know, maybe they were on the road" Rayhan said.

"Want breakfast now?" ask Zia.

"Yes, we have breakfast, don't give me that spicy Zi" Rayhan said.

"Why? Is it stomach pain?" Zia's worried.

"No, I want to eat you, you will get spicy if I eat spicy first" whispered Rayhan who managed to make Zia's cheeks flushed.

Rayhan immediately enjoyed his morning breakfast with Zia and Maryam. And they had not finished eating, the sound of the car door was closed right in front of the house, it could be ascertained it was Alfina.

Maryam finished her breakfast and took her bag and put on her shoes.

"Assalamualaikum," said Alfina who entered through the kitchen door.

"Waalaikumussalam warohmatullahi wabarokatuh," Zia immediately stopped her breakfast and stood up to greet her mad brother.

"Come on Mba, breakfast yuk," they shake hands and chipikis.

"Thank you, it was breakfast with the kids at home" Alfina said. Rayhan stood up, Alfina kissed the back of Rayhan's hand and Rayhan kissed Alfina's forehead, Zia who saw it as if she had been pierced by his heart.

"Oh yes later in the afternoon between Maryam and Sulaiman to the store yes, Sulaiman wants to eat chicken in the store he said," Alfina told Zia. Maryam who also heard him smiled widely at the pleasure.

"Yes, well, in shea Allah Mba, Maryam also said she wanted to eat fried chicken Mba Al," said Zia.

"Yuk Maryam, we're leaving" Alfina asked.

"Mba Al, I'm not sending you forward, yes, my hijab in the upper room because of it" said Zia.

"Yes pa pa pa Zi,"

Rayhan grabbed Alfina's shoulder and carried Maryam to the car. Zia who saw their closeness, felt a pain in her heart.
