As usual, when Aly will leave for the boarding school, Aly will leave Alsya to her parents. Just like today, Aly was driving to her in-laws' house to leave her there while she was in the cabin.
The car arrives at the home page of Alsya's parents. Aly took his wife's hand so that she would walk carefully because she was two-bodied.
"Assynoltom..." They both spoke when they got to the main door.
"Greetings waalaikum...!" It sounded authentic from inside the house and not long before the door was opened from inside.
Umma greeted them with a friendly smile and invited them to enter. Umma immediately sat next to her daughter because she was very happy with the situation of Alsya who was going to become a mother. Because, at the wedding of Anisa, her brother Alsha was still not given such a mandate by the Creator.
"Umma it's so good to have you guys play here." Umma said with happy sparkling eyes.
"Yes, umma."
"How do you feel, son?, do you still have frequent vomiting ?." Tanya umma to her daughter.
Alsya smiled and shook her head. "Alhamdulillah has never vomited again, umma. Only, now it feels like Alsya quickly feel tired even sleep Alsya is also already like a fainting person." Clearly Alsya with a gaze showed deep happiness.
"God's Masya... Yes, that's one of the delights of being a mother and the moment of conceiving the baby is the most beautiful moment."
Aly listened to the chatter of the two women in front of him just kept smiling looking at the happiness emanating from their faces.
"Umma."
"Yes, Ly ?." Umma's gaze turned to Aly's face.
"Actually we're here because there's a need, umma. Aly will leave for the boarding school this afternoon, so Aly takes Alsya to stay here as usual, because Aly can't possibly let Alsya not be in our house alone."
Umma smile. "Yes, just let Alsya here as long as you're not around." Ummanya.
Aly smiled and nodded. "Thank you, umma. Sorry, we always bother you." Aly said no more good.
"Astaghfirullah's... Who are you like, Ly?. We even like Alsya here, because people who are pregnant will always need someone beside him. So, since you don't exist, so Alsya is better here." Say the ummanya again.
"Alhamdulillah, thank you umma."
"Yes." Yeah."
The small talk continues they do until the time shows half ten, Aly pampit to immediately leave for the boarding school. As usual, Alsya always felt heavy when her husband had to leave, but whatever the power because her husband would never obey his wishes for this one.
This time Aly will drive his own car. In the past, he did not want to take him to the boarding school at all, but because now he really needs the car to do the needs there, so he decided to take it.
Aly is not a race car driver, but if he is driving his own car without anyone else in his car, then the highway is like a circuit arena. Even the journey to the boarding school which was supposed to take two to three hours, now he only uses the time for an hour more.
Aly parked his car in the yard of the boarding house, because since he was the husband of Ning Halimah, he had lived with his wife.
"Assynoltom..." He said as he entered the house that looked desolate uninhabited.
Aly turned to the wall clock, but it was still the time to study the madrasah, so he thought maybe his wife and in-laws would still be teaching. Aly entered the room and immediately cleaned herself in the bathroom.
Coinciding with his exit from the bathroom, it turns out that the room door was opened from the outside and raises the body of his wife. Their gazes met with a happy twinkle because finally the longing that had been dwelling for a month, had now been cured.
"Assynoltom... Husband..." Halimah said as she shook Aly's hand.
"Greetings, my wife... " Aly's free hand rubbed his wife's cheek gently.
Shortly after the shaman was released, Halimah directly hit her husband's body and hugged him very tightly.
Aly just smiled finding such a warm embrace. His hands gently rubbed the wife's back.
"How ?." Ask Aly suddenly.
Halimah looked up at her husband's face with a puzzled look at the question. "What about what ?." Ask.
Aly's hand immediately touched Halimah's nose and pulled her into a frenzy. "How do you teach him?, every day you tell the mas, if his new students are very Masya Allah." Aly said with an explanation.
"Oh, well that's it, mas. But now it's not like they just came."
"Thank God, it means they've started to change for the better."
"Yes, now I want to rest first ?."
"Yes, come on ?!." Halimah pulled Aly's hand towards the bed.
"Ehhh ?!. You want to sleep too ?."
"Yes, mas. There is an hour before the dhuhur prayer."
Aly glanced at the small clock located on the bedside table, which turned out to show eleven hours less than three and eight minutes.
They moved to the bed and immediately melted his eyes because they were in desperate need of rest. The two slept hugging each other as if still not satisfied to let go of longing.
Time continued to run with certainty and the two were back awake and immediately queued to the bathroom to take ablution. Because now Aly has just come, so Aly decided not to go to the mosque and will only pray together with his wife in the room.
After the departure of Abah Kyai, Aly has also received a mandate from the ummi nyai who asked him to replace Abah Kyai to pray at the pesantren mosque, although not up to five prayers a day, he said, because he also needs time to pray his wife's prayer is at the ashar prayer only in one day. And at that time who will imitate prayer in the mosque is the staff of the board of pesantren center who get the schedule to imitate as well as when he was returning home then the administrators will also be imam mosque.
They perform dhuhur prayers full of calmness and peace until the second greeting. After praying, they began to listen to each other's recitation of the Koran and finished exactly at two noon.
"Mas, aren't you hungry ?." Halimah asked while her hands were still busy folding her face.
"Lumayan."
"Oh yeah, we eat. What do you want to masakin ?." Ask Halimah again and prepare to cook food for her husband.
Aly walked over. "You want to get out ?." Ask Aly.
"You know, but we eat first so we don't starve."
"Yes Allah... My wife is not very sensitive anyway ?!." Aly's hand pulled Halimah's tiny nose. "Darling, you don't have to cook for me, we eat it out all the way. We never go out together, do we, after marriage ?."
Halimah's face immediately reddened to find a rare idea from her husband. "Yes, my mom." Answer Halima finally.
"Yes, what?, Hemm ?." Aly looked at the jail in his wife's face.
Halimah breathed an annoyed sigh. "Astaghfirullah, ma'am !. You can't really make me sprain ?!." Halimah immediately moved away from her husband's body and sat on the sofa in the corner of the room.
Aly just smiled at the adorable behavior of his wife. Funny behavior that he never found from the figure of his first wife.
For some reason, Aly felt that he felt closer to Halimah compared to Alsya.
If indeed the cause is due to her marriage with Alsya is an arranged marriage, but it is precisely what she wants because she already has feelings for Alsya since Alsya set foot as a santri, she said, which means it happened a few years ago. And was not his marriage to Halimah even worse, because of a sad event the teacher who gave him the trust at that time also required him to marry Ning Halimah.
Then, what because of Halimah's temperament which is very different from Alsya, where Alsya is a quiet figure, not much to speak, meek, always meticulous towards anything, careful in attitude, careful in attitude, he always obeyed whatever Aly said. While Halimah is a girl who is chatty, sloppy, carping, jealous, often invites her to argue even though because of trivial things, also spoiled, maybe because she is the only daughter of Abah Kyai and ummi nyai.
But of course both have equally extraordinary privileges, and only Aly himself knows and understands them.
Aly approached his wife who was in a state of annoyance. "Heyy, what's the matter ?." Aly's jail hand kept poking Halimah's chin and Halimah also repeatedly brushed the hand.
"O Allah, my stomach is hungry but my wife is sinking." Aly dramatized the situation.
Suddenly Halimah got up and immediately pulled Aly's hand. " Don't be lebay. We're leaving now." He said as he continued to pull Aly's hand towards Aly's car parked in the yard.
Aly smiled and followed what his wife was doing.
Finally they went out and ate at one of the restaurants and continued the streets that were only enjoyed by the two of them. And of course it was something that Alsya had never felt in all this time.
When with Alsya, they often go out together to ride in a car and eat at a restaurant. But the incident happened because Alsya was in a state of cravings so ask for it, the rest of them out of the house just aim to go to the hospital to check Alsya's pregnancy. And for both walks, it was never at all.
It might sound like favoritism, and in a state of undergoing polygamy status, Aly should not have done so. But, all of that happened already Aly considered before.
Aly did not take Alsya for a walk, because the situation of Alsya is not possible because Alsya is pregnant young, and if Alya is exhausted, then it will also affect the content. Therefore, Aly always considered whatever he would do to Alsya, whatever it was. Without exception.
It's not that Aly isn't being fair, but Aly thinks more about the risks. Aly had tried as much as possible for his two wives, without discriminating them. If, Aly is still impressed heavily on one side, Aly has really tried as much as possible, and actually no human is perfect. And no man can be like the Messenger of Allah, who is just in treating his wives. Aly is just an ordinary human being who does not escape from mistakes and is negligent.
