"Assalamu'alaikum, Byan," said the woman named Eva, smiling shyly.
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. What are you doing here?"
"I live around here. You?" askalanya. "Can we get out of Mother Nur's house?"
"Ah, he's my father-in-law."
"Hem? You're married? With who?" Eva's voice suddenly shrank at the end of the sentence. Not expecting if his first meeting back after parting from the cottage is about the news of Abyan-man's marriage that is always in his heart. "Not that, Bu Nur does not have a daughter our age. And only Bu Yumna has her age range far enough?"
"Ehm. Yumna my wife," said Abyan quickly. And now it makes Eva gaping in disbelief.
But he did not ask again. Abyan first chose to leave. "Sorry, I'm ahead."
"Ah, yes."
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam." Eva looked at Abyan's departure with a sad heart. His return from the holiday teaching santri in pesantren. He has to face the most painful reality of his life.
"Why did he choose Yumna's older sister? Was Abyan framed by that woman?" he murmured, gazing towards the house of Yumna and soon passed from there with a grievous heart.
Abyan accelerated his pace. At this time he must immediately arrive at the mosque to perform prayers. Adzan ashar has begun to be proclaimed.
Abyan repeatedly said Istigfar. His heart was weak against Yumna. But instead faced with the woman of the past that he had liked even for a moment.
"Bijan-Byan. Remember, your wife is always the best. You have to be stronger. For Yumna and also for your own sake" Abyan said, suggesting that he should not be tempted by what looks good in plain sight.

"Na, how can you vomit? What's pregnant?" asked Umi after the two met again in the kitchen after praying.
"No way, Umi. I got married yesterday too. Immediately pregnant."
"What is impossible, Na. Your marriage is two weeks old. Who knows," said Umi thrust a small plate of fruit salad in front of Yumna. "Or don't you guys haven't done it yet?" guess who immediately made Yumna's face flushed in embarrassment.
'This is Umi on purpose or what the hell? Though my feelings said that yesterday he was suspicious, ' Inner Yumna. Unable to give an answer to Uminya's guess which even embarrassed him.
"Yes! How the hell are you! What hasn't?" urge the Umi who really makes Yumna unable to speak.
"What the hell, Umi. That's the secret and disgrace of Yumna's household, Umi."
"Yes Umi just wanted to remind me. So that you do not turn your husband away. Huge sins. You must continue to serve him even if he is busy. Leave the job and follow his will."
Umi paused for a moment to pause her speech.
"Not because it makes you think that women are slaves or servants and are so low in the eyes of men. His job is to serve and so on. Not so, dear."
Umi's eyes could not be separated from staring at Yumna. He also stretched out his fingers to gently rub the back of the child's hand.
"It is precisely with a woman or a wife to be so, that she has made herself glorious in the eyes of God and in the eyes of her husband."
Yumna nodded in understanding. He had no interest in touching the salad in front of him. Waiting for Abyan's return.
"Do you remember Umi's message when you finished yesterday?"
"While Umi said, be like a slave and he will be a servant to you?"
"Yes, right. You don't have to worry too much. For you will be lamented by the right people and love you because of God."
"Thank you, Umi." Yumna approached and hugged Uminya tightly. While unknowingly, apparently Abyan, Zaid and Abah listened to all the contents of their conversation since then.
So serious is the conversation of the two, to the extent that they do not hear that someone is saying greetings from outside.
"It was outside, Umi."
"His son, when someone came home to welcome. You guys are so fucking. Showing affection in front of singles!" chirp Zaid got a laugh response from them.
"Makanya's getting married, Bang. Don't be ngenes."
"Are you looking for a good woman and not like you are easy? It's hard to know, Na." Zaid said as he took a seat at the dinner table. He even started taking small plates as a salad place for himself. "Also, marriage is not something that is easy and lived only for a day and two days. But it was the longest worship. If you do not have the quality of science, then be prepared to fall apart. Aren't you, Byan?"
"Yes, Bang."
"Especially if you get a wife like you. I don't want any trouble like Abyan."
"Abang! What a bad mouth!" Yumna got up from her seat and left there without saying anything more.
"Yee, crashing. I'm so angry!" sahut Zaid did not feel guilty. Abah and Umi stared at the boy's horror. Abyan was silent despite his wife's annoyance at this.
"Lha, you're not saying that." Abah defends his only daughter. "What happened to your sister? Every human being has to be happy."
Zaid did not answer, while Abyan rose from his seat. "Sorry Abah-Umi, Bang Zaid, I followed my wife first yes."
"Ah, yes." Umi looked up at Abyan who looked so worried about Yumna. "You guys take it in the salad. You were the one who wanted to eat this" he said, handing over a large plate of fruit salad to his son-in-law.
"Good, Umi. Thank you yes. Excuse me, I'm in the room first."
"Yes, Son. Please wait for Yumna, will you?"
Abyan nodded his head and immediately passed from there. While Zaid began to be abused by his parents.
Cklek~
"Naa ...," call Abyan softly. Stepping closer to his wife who was sitting in a chair staring at the window.
"Hem." Yumna responded with a murmur.
"Any anger?"
"Not really."
"Anged?" ask Abyan again. And now he was sitting in a crouching position and looking up at his wife.
"No."
"It must be angry, right?"
"Yeah. Huhuhuhu." Soon Yumna cried, closing her eyes with both hands.
Abyan put a plate of fruit salad on the table. And then stood before Yumna. Let the woman embrace herself. He rubbed his wife's back.
"Areally that bad, huh, Byan? To the extent that you said it was like that?"
"No. Bang Zaid, by the way."
"You lied, By!" tampik Yumna did not want to believe. "But you are also actually still disappointed with what happened last night and afternoon?"
"No. Why do you even think so?" Abyan changed his position to sit. His hands were stretched out to wipe both of Yumna's tears.
"I'm sure I saw you talking to another girl in front of the house."
The deg!
Abyan was stunned to hear it. He felt like he was cheating on his wife.
