Chapter 26

Mama Fatonah is currently receiving treatment at a nearby health center. His skin blistered from hot water. The doctor also gave an ointment for external wound medicine. Fortunately, the hot water did not hit his face.

Azizah looked at Mama Fatonah with fear. It was clear from the look in his eyes that his in-laws were now angry and hated him.

"Ma, sorry," Azizah said with her voice trembling.

Mama Fatonah did not say Azizah. He did not want to talk to his second son-in-law.

"Other times, you have to be careful" Irwansyah said to Azizah as she patted her shoulder.

"I told you that, Bang. If Aunt Rose had grabbed me by the foot when I stepped towards the dining table," Azizah said.

"You don't like to put your mistakes on others." Mama Fatonah's thunderous voice finally came out as well.

"Already, Ma. Azizah is not a person who likes to do evil and harm others," said Irwansyah defending his second wife.

"Defend your wife's. When something bad happens to your other wife and child, you know the taste." Mama Fatonah is very emotional.

Azizah's heart ached when she heard the accusation of in-laws against her. Never crossed the slightest in his heart wanting to harm his son and elder brother. Or cheat by wanting to monopolize her husband from an old wife.

"Astaghfirullahal. Mama, can't talk like that. It could be slander. I don't want Mama or anyone telling anyone a lie or slander. Especially to my family. I was so offended by what Mom said just now. Did you forget that your parents' words are prayers. I don't want anything to happen to my children and my wives" said Irwansyah withholding her emotions. He does not want his mother to change into a person who always judge bad or judge negative others.

"As far as you are" replied Mama Fatonah as she turned her face away.

Mama Fatonah received treatment until she finished one bottle of intravenous fluids. After that, you will go home and be checked again 3 days later.

Azizah was crying in her room. Just now she wanted to give Mama Fatonah fruit pudding. However, his father-in-law refused the food from him. Even with her blatant in-laws saying no more eating, the food made by her. Of course this made him hurt. 

Time continued to roll and Mama Fatonah had been examined again by a doctor who was in the health center. The wounds on the body have also dried up. This time he went with Dela.

"Irwan, mama wants you to rent a house for Azizah. Let him stay apart, it is not good that you unite two wives in one house. Definitely Rela and Azizah feel jealous or not feel free from each other," Mama Fatonah said when they returned from Puskesmas.

"Ma, if Azizah separated the house and it was Irwan's turn with her. Then, who will take care of you? Molly is also currently pregnant. Irwan could not watch over or take care of all of you at the same time," replied Irwansyah did not agree with the wishes of her mother. 

Although at night it was his turn with Azizah, but Irwansyah always took time to check on Rela and the children. Moreover, Rela often woke up in the middle of the night and could sleep after she put him to bed again.

"Rela, would you agree with my mom if you didn't live in the house?" mama Fatonah asked her son's first wife.

Getting a question like this left Rela confused. He wanted to separate the house with Azizah. However, if when her husband was with Azizah, surely she would not sleep all night. Because, until now she can only sleep, if hugged by her husband. He also hopes this does not continue until giving birth. He also felt no to Azizah, despite her turn with Irwansyah. However, her husband always took time to her room until she could sleep.

"You were too kind and never protested this to her husband and her honeymoon" said Mama Fatonah.

Rela is more likely to maintain a household that is in good condition and harmonious, compared to obey his ego. That's one way to enjoy living a polygamous household. Both he and Azizah had rights over Irwansyah. Of course it feels different when the household then and now. As an old wife, Rela also does not want to lose with a young wife when serving, taking care of, and paying attention to all the needs of her husband.

Azizah had just finished teaching and left the classroom. He is shocked by Banu who is standing at the door of his class. 

"Iza, are you teaching here now?" asked Banu with a smile adorning his face.

"Yes, it's only been a few months" Azizah replied.

"I didn't think that you were my son's teacher" Banu said with eyes still fixed on Azizah. It was clear that his eyes were dazzled on Azizah's face, which was getting more beautiful and clear.

"Ah, yes. Your child is active at school" Azizah replied feeling uncomfortable with the presence of Banu at this time.

Many parents watched them. The figure of Azizah as a new teacher there, automatically making their memo will be his relationship with a tall man stocky. Because, Banu also only a few times to come to his son's school. So, not many knew that he was the father of one of Azizah's disciples.

"Excuse me, yeah. I have to go to the teacher's room" Azizah said and hurriedly left Banu.

"Did they have a special relationship?" One of the mothers in white asked the parents of the other students.

"Come, Azizah is the second wife of Mr. Irwansyah" he replied.

"What's? So, Azizah's mom is a young wife!" the mother screamed unexpectedly.

"Yes, who wouldn't want a rich and handsome husband. Just look at the appearance of him that always wear good stuff and facial care also makes the face glowing. No less the first wife," continued the mother who wears green clothes.

Azizah feels the heat of her ears, if people talk about her. Especially with the status of a second wife or young wife. People often look down on her because she is a second wife. In the stamp as an actor, matre woman, or barren woman is not strange. If possible she also wants to be the only wife of the man she loves. He always asked God to be given the best soul mate and to be able to navigate a happy household life. There was no honey in their household. However, the destiny given to her was to become the second wife of a man named Irwansyah.

Do those who have insulted and demeaned themselves know how hurt they are to say as they accuse them. There is certainly no woman who likes to be bad when they have never experienced what he has experienced. Only a small number of women are forced or want their lives polygamous. If the same thing happened to them, what would they do? A barren woman who is often slandered seduces the husbands of others, and no single good man is willing to accept her. 

Azizah took in her breath which felt heavy and tight. In addition, his eyes also began to feel hot and tears had accumulated in his eye pelupuk. He wanted to yell at the people who looked down on him. 

'If being a second wife is forbidden by religion, I will not live it either. It is more honorable for a young wife than for some mistress without the sacred bond of marriage.'

Will Rela and Azizah finally live in a different roof according to the wishes of Mama Fatonah? Wait for it to go, yeah!
