Chapter 25

Early in the morning when all was not at home, except Rela and Irwansyah. Aunt Rose is busy with her friends, as well as Mama Fatonah who is visiting the house of Bu RT.

"Darling, my brother asked. Have you ever felt like you weren't being fair to you?" ask Irwansyah to Rela.

The two people were sitting on a side courtyard chair overlooking the pavilion where Azizah lived. The two men enjoyed the warmth of the sun and the fresh air of the morning because of the many shady trees that grew in the yard.

"What's the same, you mean?" Let's ask back.

"Yes, everybody. I don't want you to feel like I've dzolim on my wife. Moreover, you are my first wife. We've been together for a long time and we've been through everything together. Good when we are in trouble first. At first we started the effort. Not when I have children. Love the sorrow of building our household, which we all started together from scratch. I don't want you to have any thoughts that I'm changing because I already have a second wife. After all, you are the most special woman in my life," Irwansyah replied with her attention all fixed on Rela.

"Some material brother has done fair. The division of our time together, I get more rations on Azizah's approval. The attention you give us may be fair. However, I feel that here Brother is leaning more towards Azizah," Rela sighed. His eyes were starting to feel hot and his chest was tight. He was sure he would cry soon.

"Astaghfirullahal. Rela, believe! My brother had no intention of paying more attention to Azizah. As much as possible you want to always be there for all families when they are in a state of sadness or difficulty," explained Irwansyah while holding Rela's hand. His eyes clashed with the eyes of his old wife.

"Yes, maybe because Azizah has been in trouble lately and has always been more attentive to her" said Rela.

"Abang hopes that if you can all not experience problems or difficulties" said Irwansyah.

Now Azizah and Oliv always go and go home from school together on a motorcycle. Like today, they came home past an ice cream shop. Oliv wants to stop by to buy his favorite ice cream first. So Azizah stopped by there.

"Awllet?" A man greeted him.

"Eh .. Ba-nu?" Azizah doubts the man in front of her.

"Yes, it's me" said the man who had been Azizah's future husband.

Azizah looked at the once tall man with a proportional body shape. Now become fat-bodied fathers. He hadn't seen her for nearly 6 years. Now there are so many changes to the man who once promised to make himself happy.

"Who is this?" banu asked while pointing at Oliv.

"She's my daughter, her name is Oliv. Honey, salim the same Om Banu," tell Azizah to the princess.

"Daughter?" Banu was surprised because as far as he knew he had done the surgery to remove the uterus, so he would not have offspring.

"Yes. You alone?" azizah asked because it was strange to see Banu at the ice cream shop.

"No. I'm delivering a kid and a wife who want to buy ice cream here," he said, pointing at a woman who was fat, as well as a child who was with him sitting at the corner table.

Azizah saw that the little boy was wearing the same uniform as Oliv. That means his son Banu is one of his students.

"Alhamdulillah" replied Azizah.

"Mom, got me already" said Oliv as the store clerk handed him a cup of ice cream.

"Yes, we've gone home" Azizah replied. They also resigned themselves.

When Azizah and Oliv came home, the house looked lonely no one. Azizah knocked on the door of Rela's room.

"Mbak Rela! Ma'am!" call Azizah while knocking on the door.

Despite being called several times, there was no response from inside the room. So Azizah opened the door for fear of something happening to Rela.

When the door was opened it was seen that Rela was sleeping in Irwansyah's arms. Both men slept very well. So Azizah shut the door of the room.

After changing clothes, Azizah went to the kitchen to prepare the lunch menu. As she coolly cut the vegetables, Mama Fatonah came home and soon Aunt Rose also came home.

"Azizah, Aunty eggplant balado cuisine!" aunt Rose's Titah.

"Eh, Azizah has made some lodeh vegetables. Earlier this morning Irwan wanted to eat this," said Azizah while showing all the ingredients had been cut and cleaned. Just put it in a pot that contains coconut milk sauce.

"What is the difficulty of all the food that Auntie wants to eat," said Aunt Rose.

"Rose, if you want to eat eggplant balado, cook it yourself. You don't think Azizah is tired. Know yourself a little," Mama Fatonah snapped because often upset by her cousin's sister. 

"Sister, good talk can't be, anyway! There's no need to snap that way" Aunt Rose replied.

"You like to force your desire on Azizah. Each meal requires a different menu than the one cooked. If you want a certain food why every morning when asked what you want to eat, the answer is unthinkable. The time for cooking has been made you ask for another menu," said Mama Fatonah with frustration.

Azizah felt bad. If only he could make Aunt Rose's wish. The problem is that every dish that Aunt Rose asks for is always eaten a little. There's a reason he said. 

"What is this storm?" ask Irwansyah who is now entering the kitchen.

The people there were instantly silent. Azizah saw the water in the pot was already boiling. So, he also wanted to make sure the gas stove. The hot water was meant to make tea. However, when Azizah had put the hot water into the pot and wanted to be saved to the dining table. Aunt Rose's feet were stretched out slightly, so Azizah tripped and fell with the hot water that spilled onto Mama Fatonah's body.

"Aaaah! The heat! It's hot!" yelled Mama Fatonah.

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim" said Azizah and Irwansyah simultaneously.

Will this make Azizah more cornered in the house? Wait for it to go, yeah!
