"Mas Niko, is this clock ready? usually a little late?" ask Ulya

"Dear, I forgot this morning there was a morning meeting with a client. You have your own breakfast with mom and dad is okay, I'm in a hurry" said Niko rushed to the office

"No breakfast first? or will Ulya prepare supplies?" ask Ulya

"Don't be a pity, easy later in the office only. after meeting the client. I leave yes" said Niko kissing Ulya's forehead and Ulya kissing her husband's hand

"Be careful, first pray" said Ulya

"Yes dear" said Niko passed

"Mom, ma. Niko left for the office first" said Niko kissed the hands of mama and papa in a hurry.

"Not breakfast yet?" ask Miss Nisa

"No chance ma" answered Niko running small

"That's Niko why Ul? how about a morning tumben? ask Nisa's mom

"Said there was a meeting this morning ma, but mas Niko forgot that this morning there was a meeting with the client" replied Ulya

"Lina, Niko. How can I meet until I forget that" murmured bu Nisa

"Human name ma, it is only natural to forget. Bair how papa is proud of Niko. Just look, since Niko's company is now growing rapidly. The profit chart also rose steadily, the shareholders all praised Niko's performance" said Bima

"Well, mom knows that too. Oya pah, yesterday mama met Mr Bram's wife he asked why our company cut the contract of cooperation with their company?"

"Keep mama said what?" Pak Bima saw his wife

"Yes mom said she didn't know, because now the company is owned by Niko. And indeed mama does not know the reason Niko cut cooperation with the company Mr. Bram. Last night Mama wanted to ask Niko, but seeing Niko come home at night, mama did not have the heart to disturb her rest"

"Don't you know that Niko cut off cooperation with Mr Bram's company?" ask Nisa's mom

"Papa also do not know ma, lately papa is busy taking care of our business in Germany to not monitor the one here. Because Niko has been held so fully papa believes everything is the same Niko, and papa is sure that until Niko breaks the cooperation it must be because there is a reason. It is impossible for cooperation to be cut off without something. Papa's going to Germany in the afternoon, mama how? want to come with papa or still want to be here?" ask bima sir

"I'm sorry pa, actually mom wants to come with me. But later in the afternoon mama there is the same bond of businesswoman's wife. Next week my mom will come to Germany. Can't you?" ask Nisa's mom

"Yes certainly dong ma" replied Pak Bima

"Ulya, later in the afternoon you join mama arisan ya! It's time you met the wives of businessmen here. As a businesswoman, you must also establish good relations with the wives of entrepreneurs to support your husband's work. Because sometimes there are times when our husbands need help to establish cooperation for example.

"Yes ma" Ulya replied

This afternoon Ulya along with his mother-in-law, attended a ceremony attended by the wives of businessmen, Almost all who attended there dressed glamorously and from the upper class, he said, and it all makes Ulya a little bit less.

"Hi. jeng, I don't think today is coming" said Missi when she saw Miss Nisa coming

"Sorry jeng, came late earlier jammed in the street. Oya knows this Ulya my daughter-in-law Niko's wife" said Bu Nisa introduced her daughter-in-law.

"What aunt? Niko is married?" sahut Sandra Jessi's son

"Yes, Alhamdulillah Niko is married" replied Nisa's mother smiling to see Ulya

"This is Niko's wife? tanya Sandra looked at Ulya from top to bottom

"Yes, his name is Ulya Niko's wife" replied Nisa's mother

"Ulya" said Ulya reached out but Sandra only replied a little with a dislike expression

"Honey you sit there first yes, mama wants to talk to your business partner for a moment" said Nisa's mom pointing at the sofa

"Yes ma" replied Ulya and walked towards the sofa while taking drinks and cakes

It didn't escape Sandra's sight.

Sandra is one of the women who used to be close and dating Niko.

Many approached Nisa's mother to talk about business, Ulya who did not understand just silently watched around, Ulya there like a chick who lost its mother, Ulya, it can only be silent and so difficult to blend in with the others.

"How can Niko marry a woman like you?" said Sandra approached Ulya who was enjoying the cake there.

"Mdad talk to me?" ulya put down the cake and watched Sandra

"Who else if not you? why are you so confident in attending this event? you know what's in here are all important people, on what basis are you here?"

"I'm sorry that my presence here is not welcome. But I am here to accompany my mother-in-law" Ulya replied politely

"Hai San, when were you in Indonesia? not that you're holding your mom's company overseas, are you?" ask one of the Arisan participants

"Yes aunty, I just came home last week, was going to rest but told Mami to come here" answered Sandra

"It's great for you, eh. This is if it's not your fault jeng Nisa's daughter-in-law huh?" asked Bu Reni to turn to see Ulya

"Yes aunty" answered Ulya

"Great yes you, a widow can hook a man like Niko, young, rich, handsome. Truly a remarkable achievement" Reni said between praise or insults

"Widow? so you're a widow?" Sandra is shocked to learn that Niko is marrying a widow

"Yes, I've seen the news go viral when her ex-husband who is a polygamous ustadz kept her suing for divorce, Sandra didn't see the news?" ask Reni

"Yes aunty, I and Niko used to date. But because I had to take care of my mom's company overseas, eventually our relationship had to end, Niko did not want a long-distance relationship" Sandra replied

"When you guys are a very compatible couple you know, it's a pity that it has to end. ups. sorry yes I forgot that there is his wife Niko here" Ms. Reni covered her mouth with her hands.

Even though Reni was deliberately heating Ulya

"It's okay aunt" replied Ulya still smiling

"But I'm still wondering how Niko married a widow like you, what use do you use to make Playboy like Niko want to marry a woman like you" sandra said with a cynical look

"Astaghfirullah, I'm sorry but Sandra is not a highly educated person, long live abroad, but how can you think like that?" ask Ulya

"Yes, right? what does Niko see from a woman like you?"

"Niko saw Ulya from here, from her heart" she said, holding her chest when she heard her son-in-law reviled Sandra's question

"Tante, sorry auntie isn't Sandra willing to interfere. But Sandra doesn't understand why Niko can marry a woman like this?" Sandra looked at Ulya with a look of disdain

"Why is it with Niko's wife? niko's wife deserves to accompany Niko, very fast even. Beautiful, educated and important InsyaAlloh sholihah" replied Ms. Nisa

"Ulya we go home baby" invited Nisa ma'am

"Is your mom's show over?" ask Ulya

"It's okay baby, mom is also tired of wanting to rest" said Nisa

BU Nisa deliberately invited Ulya home because she did not have her daughter-in-law made a mockery of her colleagues there.

In the car

"The talk of these mothers should not be entered by the heart, yes, it can be such a person whose mind is only a matter of worldly and social status, what is important for your mom and dad is that your favorite daughter-in-law, Since there is you in our lives, our home now really feels like a home. Not only does the building look magnificent but like there is no life, it feels cold and there is absolutely no warmth. But now that every mom is home, she feels the warmth of a family inside. And it was all because of Ulya, because Ulya made us aware of the true meaning of life. Thank you Ulya" said Miss Nisa smiling and holding Ulya's hand

"Sama-sama ma, Ulya is also grateful that mom and dad can accept Ulya as a daughter-in-law, with Ulya's past. Ulya sure definitely not easy for mama and papa to respond to the talk of colleagues mama and papa. Ulya apologized yes ma, if it causes a commotion between colleagues mama and papa"

Ulya, who realized her status as a widow, made many of her fellow-in-law look at her one eye because she married a single man like Niko.

"Darling, you don't have to think about all that. Most importantly for mama, you and Niko can live a good and harmonious household life. Getting married is easy but maintaining the household requires a strong commitment, Ulya must remember in sailing the household ark there will certainly be a trial. Like a sailing person would definitely meet a storm. But what Ulya needs to remember and hold. Like any storm that will hit the ship, never jump from the ship, because jumping when there is a storm will only make us sink. As with the household, when the test in the household comes, never leave your partner. Hold Niko's hand, sure and believe our captain will definitely try to get through the storm. No matter how much the test in the household as long as each other strengthens and trusts each other, InsyaAlloh surely you are able to pass the test, as well as ships that are able to pass through the storm. So do you guys. As long as you can always hold the commitment InsyaAlloh mama believes, you can pass every exam there is. And one more thing you must remember , in the household it is not just a matter of love, The gluing husband Wife is not just love but the piety of God"

Ms. Nisa gave advice to Ulya household so that Ulya was not discouraged by the scorn of the people, because it was only the beginning of the household exam.

"Yes ma, InsyaAlloh Ulya understands and Ulya will always remember the advice of Mama.

Verily, Satan placed his throne on the water (sea) and sent his armies. The closest to him is the greatest. One of his soldiers came and said, “I have done this and so”. The devil said, “You did nothing at all”. Then came another one and said, “I didn't leave him (to be teased) until I managed to separate between him and his wife. So Satan approached him and said, “What a great (demon) like you” (HR Muslim IV/2167 no 2813)

Divorce is loved by the devil. That's why God hates divorce."

"Mama knows you can definitely be a good wife for Niko, because honestly mom had to find out the cause of your divorce and your former husband, your former husband, from there you know the reason why until you finally divorced, you know your struggle to maintain your household first like what. And now mama hope you are not angry with mama because secretly mama ever find out your past" said Ms. Nisa

"Ulya can't be angry ma, Ulya understands why mama did that, and Ulya thinks that's a natural thing. If Ulya was in the position of mama, maybe Ulya would also do the same thing as Mama"

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Niko into the room

"Walaikumsalam" answered Ulya who had just finished praying standing looking at the prayer mat and approached her husband to kiss Niko's hand.

"What a big deal?" ulya asked Seraya to take the bag and suit that was in Niko's hands

"Dear, I'm tired today. Lots of work at the office" answered Niko sitting at the bedside

"You need to take a shower first, do you want Ulya to prepare dinner first mas?" ask Ulya

"You hug my beloved wife first, please give me energy!" niko and Ulya approached

Niko hugged Ulya tightly. For Niko by hugging Ulya is the same as getting energy to relieve her fatigue after a day struggling with a lot of work.

"So then come with mama arisan?" Niko asked without letting go of a hug

"So mas" Ulya answered briefly

"Are you sure you're uncomfortable? I know you wouldn't like a show like that. The next time you refuse if your mom takes you again"

"No, Ulya is fine there, even Ulya so know who is former mas Niko" said Ulya smiled

"former? who's my ex?" Niko saw Ulya

"Say her name is Sandra" Ulya replied

"Sandra's? is he there?"

"Yes, he was there and he said he was Niko's ex" Ulya replied

"But you're okay, right? did he hurt you?" ask Niko worried

"What will be done? he didn't do anything"

"Thank God because I know what Sandra is" Niko said tightening her arms
