I Was the Second
Four
"What would Mary eat?" rayhan asked in the car, and Maryam was sitting with Fatimah on the front passenger bench, the two girls looking affectionate to each other.
"What the hell Om," said Maryam.
"Will the chicken?" ask Rayhan.
"Soto the chicken will but Umma said half a portion usually, or a bowl together with Umma," replied Maryam.
"Okay we to the place to eat that sells soto yes, Sulaiman's favorite, hopefully you also like, eh you like Fatimah's sister?" ask Rayhan.
"Em, like, want to have a sister, but Umma said it could not be because Abi was dead" said Maryam. Then his face turned sad. And I heard the boy sobbing.
"Well Maryam crying, why?" ask Rayhan.
"Maryam has no Abi, wants to have Abi also rich friends, rich Sulaiman," great-granddaughter Maryam.
Rayhan was stunned to hear that, the child of that age was certainly happy to play with his father, still likes to be hugged and carried by his father occasionally. Rayhan rubbed over the girl's head.
'Wait son, soon yes, if Mba Khadijah, Mba Aisyah, Sulaiman, and Umma you agree, in shaa Allah Om who will be your Abi, ' Inner Rayhan.
While at Zia's house, Alfina helps Zia wash the clothes in the lower closet. Alfina opened her headscarf to let her work.
"Aren't you in the washing machine?" alfina asked Zia.
"Ga there is Mba, in this house there is only me with Maryam, holy use of hands in shaa Allah is still able," replied Zia.
'Please Deck Zia, in shea Allah I will soon buy a washing machine for you, but by agreeing to the conditions I set, ' inward Alfina.

After finishing breakfast, and out of the chicken shop, Rayhan held Fatimah, one hand carrying a plastic bag of soto rice wrapped. Maryam holds the end of Rayhan's kurta. The three of them walked to the car.
Actually Rayhan was eager to buy the child a toy, or something else, and take him for a walk in the mall or playground, but he expressed his intention because he still did not know later his children received Rayhan's second marriage plan or not. There will be even disappointed in Maryam's heart, if the little girl is close to Rayhan but her children do not agree with Maryam's mother does not want to be married.
They finally returned to Zia's rented house, because the location was empty, then Rayhan's car could enter.
"Kreek.." door squeaks open.
"Umma assalamualaikum." said Maryam while entering the house.
"Waalaikumussalam," said Zia and Alfina who were in the kitchen. The two of them took a break after finishing washing and drying clothes.
"Umma bought soto chicken with Sulaiman's ashes, he said to be eaten the same ummi Sulaiman as well," said Maryam.
"Oh yes, Allah, jazaakillaahu khayran Maryam" said Alfina.
"Pronounce to his brother Sulaiman ya Umma say jazaakallaahu khayran," said Zia.
"Yes Umma,"
"Where is Sulaiman's brother now?" ask Alfina.
"Sit with Fatimah on the porch" said Maryam.
"Oh.. now Maryam played first yes with her brother Sulaiman and Fatimah," said Alfina.
Maryam nodded and returned to the front of the house.
"Om, said Umma jazaakallaahu khayran," Maryam told Rayhan.
"Waiyaki" said Rayhan. And the three of them played on the terrace of the house that had been clean.
Zia had finished serving two bowls of chicken soto and made a warm tea for Alfina.
"Mba Al, breakfast first yuk," Zia asked.
"OK," said Alfina.
They both had breakfast in the living room, because there was no dining table, they were on the floor, because the carpet was also dried up by the flood.
After eating, Alfina went home.
"Yes Mba, thank you very much have been helped by several sampe nyuci all clothes, do not know again what to say, jazaakillaahu khayran anyway, same husband Mba Al also already bothered between Maryam breakfast, buy me breakfast too" said Zia.
"No bother, if you need any help, say yes, don't hesitate,"
"Well Mba Al, in shaa Allah," said Zia.
After the cipika cipiki, Alfina came out of the house, and Zia accompanied her to the front.
"Maryam, we go first yes, in the shaa Allah we play again sometime, same Fatimah, Sulaiman, Mba Aisyah, and Mba Khadijah," said Alfina.
"Wah Solomon and Fatima were many of his brothers" said Maryam.
"You also want a lot of brothers?" ask Alfina.
"Em" Maryam nodded.
"Begging God, let's have a new Abi and a new sister" said Alfina, who made Rayhan stunned.
"Can you ask for a new Abi?" ask Maryam.
"Can dong, that if Umma you want, then ask Umma yes," said Alfina.
Zia patted her forehead, 'what the heck Mba Al this, later surely Maryam ngrengek keep asking for new Abi, ' Inner Zia.
"Udah ya Dek Zia, we say yes, assalamualaikum," said Alfina.
"Waalaikumussalam" said Zia and Maryam, waving.
In the car, Alfina asks Rayhan, how was his breakfast with Maryam.
"Yes, the boy was independent, and seemed to miss his ashes, whether or not I could replace them, but I wanted to love him" Rayhan said.
"So you want to marry Dek Zia?" ask Alfina.
"Yes, in shayah Allah, than I married another girl" Rayhan said.
"Alright, it means tomorrow we talk to the children" said Alfina.
"Oh yeah, do you want to know Dek Zia's face?" ask Alfina.
"Yes, but later" said Rayhan.
"I have a picture of him, we were selfies, but at a glance yes Mas, no ga yang same Dek Zia, his face I showed to Mas Rayhan, even though we have not nadhor him," said Alfina while opening her phone looking for the photo in question.
"Here it is, look at it, three seconds, yes" said Alfina.
"Beautiful, I parked the car first" said Rayhan, because they had reached their fried chicken shop.
"Where?" ask Rayhan.
"Three seconds yes," said Alfina then he showed her picture with Zia on the screen of his phone.
"One, she, three," Alfina counted her seconds after seconds, then pulled back her phone.
Rayhan smiled broadly.
"Beautiful right??"
"I haven't seen, I just saw your face there" Rayhan said, chuckling.
"Mas, please go again," Alfina showed the photo again.
"Yes already" said Rayhan.
"Where? Beautiful right??"
"Yes, it's women" Rayhan said flatly.
"Mas ... plis deh ..serius nih," said Alfina.
"Beauty is relative, I can't say she's beautiful, because she's not my wife yet, but if you're beautiful, then God's right," said Rayhan, who made Alfina's cheeks blush.
