Chapter 4

"A-what do you mean, sir?" Finally came out also the voice from Rela's throat.

"Allow Azizah to be Irwansyah's second wife. So that he can perfect his religion," replied Mr. Maulana.

"I'm sorry, sir. I don't want to share a husband with any woman" Rela said firmly.

    When the silence occurred at Rela and Pak Maulana's table, Irwansyah came to them. She said, "Honey, my mom called just now. We're told to go home soon! Sorry, Mister. We're staying first."

"Yes. Sorry for interrupting your time together" said Mr. Maulana.

***

    On the way home, Rela fell silent and surly because his mood was bad. She thought her husband really wanted to be polygamous.

    Irwansyah was eager to talk to Rela, but judging by the look on her face, she paused herself. He was convinced that his wife was not going to talk to him at this time.

     There were only babbles from two little children sitting in the back seat enlivening the journey home. Meanwhile, both Irwansyah and Rela only occasionally reply to the words of their two children.

***

     In the evening Irwansyah tried to make Rela's mood to be good again. He also made plans for his beloved wife.

"Honey, we go for a walk and eat out, yuk!" take Irwansyah while rubbing Rela's head.

"No mood," Reply without turning his body.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" asked Irwansyah and tried to turn Rela's body around.

    His wife's eyes were puffy. Irwansyah also wiped her tears that soaked her cheeks.

"What, you want to get married again?" Let's ask back.

"Aren't you not allowing your brother to polygamize? How could you possibly do that" replied Irwansyah.

"I don't want you to marry Azizah!" said Relax firmly.

    Without them knowing that someone had been listening to the conversation behind the door. Fatonah, Irwansyah's mother held back her anger when she heard her son was planning to polygamy.

"Darling, listen to my brother first. Indeed, Mr. Maulana had asked his brother to marry Azizah, but his brother refused because you did not want to be combined. After that there was no more talk of that. Brother also did not expect that Mr. Maulana would talk about it again with you. Perhaps, he thought that if he spoke directly to you, he would be allowed to marry Azizah" Irwansyah explained.

"Irvansyah

! You want polygamy? Step over your mama's corpse!" fatonah shouted after pushing the door that had opened a little.

     Of course Irwansyah and Rela were very surprised by the voice of her mother who suddenly just came to open the door. Fatonah's face was red.

"Mama wouldn't want you to betray Rela, my mother's favorite daughter-in-law!" he continued with his high voice.

"Mama ... This is a misunderstanding" said Irwansyah.

"Of course, Ma. I don't want to be polygamous either," he said.

"Who do you want to marry again? Is she more beautiful than Rella? Is she a rich woman? Mama replied, why do you want to get married again?" ask Fatonah with a voice that held. Fortunately, both of their children had slept well and did not hear the words of their parents and grandmother.

"can't. You don't want to marry that woman. How can you relate to your teacher?" cut the fatonah with a stir.

"We often met at the Great Mosque of Hidayatullah" replied Irwansyah.

"From now on you do not connect with your teacher until the girl is married to someone else" said Fatonah.

"Ma, can't be. We can't break the cord with other people. Moreover, he was my teacher as a child," concluded Irwansyah.

"So, you want to argue with mom! Aye, so?" Fatonah's eyes looked up at his only son.

"No, Ma. I just told him not to break the cord with him because of this kind of problem" Irwansyah said in a low voice.

"Mama doesn't care about him. Anyway, if you hear any more talk about this. Mama herself will come to your teacher's house" snapped Fatonah.

     There was a sense of pleasure in Rela's heart because the mother-in-law gave her support. Honestly, he was still upset with Irwansyah. She was convinced that her husband had a good relationship with her teacher. Automatically get on good terms with Azizah too. Thinking like that made her very upset at her husband.

***

The next day the atmosphere at Irwansyah's house looked lonely and somewhat gripping. Rela and Fatonah, who used to chat with Ukasyah and Oliv, are now both silent. The house, which was always decorated with laughter and babbling of two young children and two adult women, now had no sound at all. Not because there are no inhabitants. They were all still in the house, it was just that their mood was bad.

The next days are like that too. Although Irwansyah tried to give understanding to his wife and mother. However, the two women so compact silenced Irwansyah.

"When are you going to be like this?" asked Irwansyah after a month she was let down by the two women she loved.

"Look yesterday you were still in contact with Mr. Maulana. Do you really want to marry your daughter?" fatonah said to her son.

"No, Ma. I only talked as necessary with Mr. Maulana. However, I did not want to break the cord of friendship with my teacher," said Irwansyah turned annoyed with the same tightness of her fists and her wife.

"We will sin, Ma. If, break our friendship with our teachers, with good people, and sholeh. Until now pun—"

"Have you secretly married her daughter?" cut Fatonah.

PRANGS!

Rela who had just entered the family room from the direction of the kitchen dropped a tray containing a pot and glass glass. This made Irwansyah and Fatonah turn his attention towards Rela who was still standing.

"Honey," said Irwansyah as he walked closer to his wife

"No! Don't come near you, Bang!" bela shouted a warning to Irwansyah.

"But—"

"I hate you, Bang!" Tears now slid on the smooth cheeks of Rela and Irwansyah also stopped her steps.

"Look because of your selfishness, Rela suffered," said Fatonah.

"The two of you have misunderstood" said Irwansyah frustratedly.

***

What will happen to Irwansyah and Rela? Will the fights continue to decorate their lives? Wait for it to go, yeah!
