"Laa ilaha... Laa ilaha... Laa ilaha illallahillallah." The Tawhid sentence is chanted to accompany the funeral journey of the bodies of Anton and Adel's father, to the final resting place.

Ms. Halimah was unceasingly crying to release the body of her beloved husband. Her eyes stared at the coffin that carried the husband, along with the motorcade of mourners to the funeral. She stood with Adel who with affection for her mother strengthened the fragile mind of Halimah at the sudden departure of her husband.

Next to Adel stood a woman who was still a stranger in the eyes of the brothers and neighbors. Heni, Anton's new wife. With confidence he greeted the mourners and greeted them without hesitation. But, how did the mourners respond??? Especially Joko ma'am and Nana ma'am, who secretly noticed Heni's whereabouts and investigated him???

"Ooo, yes, actually, Joko ma'am. Did Anton have another wife? But I didn't see Alma from earlier?! Don't-don't?!?!?!" joko's mom started gossiping.

"Don't-don't what??? Hm... Did Anton secretly remarry, unbeknownst to his wife??? Or is that woman Anton's affair??? Now is it the news trend, Mom?!" whispered Nana's mother in the crowd of mourners.

"Waaah... Bener is also Nana's mom. We never got Anton married again. Suddenly there was a pregnant woman in her house. No danger, huh???" mrs Joko is getting fun frying the news that is not yet clear the truth.

It was time for Heni to cross paths and shake hands with Joko and Nana. Not awkward, Joko started with her action.

"What is Anton's mom? Sorry I never met you before?" ask Joko's mom with Julia's face.

"Hmm.introduce ma'am. I am Anton's wife. We've been married for six months." Answer Heni confidently.

"Ooo. New bride dong. I think she's pregnant, right? Anton wants another child?" Bu Joko was curious.

"Yes mom... Sorry, excuse me. Help out in the back." Pamit Heni immediately.

Heni's feelings were not good, he was like being skinned with some questions from Joko ma'am in front of the mourners.

Now it is revealed that the curiosity that had been running around in the mind of Joko and Nana ma'am.

"That's mom... That's my guess! Anton is secretly married again. Uh Nana ma'am, she said she was married six months ago, but her stomach had already bloated that yes, like her pregnancy was more than six months ago" The gossiper did not stop investigating.

"Bene to Joko. Surely the woman was pregnant first, before the same marriage Anton. Pity me, ma'am Halimah. Died dead her husband, eeeh. Anton came home with a new wife, pregnant again." Ms. Nana chimed no longer with whispers, but deliberately hardened, so that it was known by the group of mourners who were still sitting in Anton's house.

"Yes ma'am.denger, the sudden death of Mr. Hasan, was caused by the work of the Anton." the other mother followed him.
