Chapter 46
Irwansyah stared at the nanar towards Rela. He did not expect that his wife was so stubborn as to want to part with him. Somehow he must prove that he is the most valuable woman in his life.
"Then, what about the kids? They will definitely ask you," asked Irwansyah as she stared fixedly at the clear eyeball.
"I'll tell them I have to go for treatment out of town" Rela replied.
"One thing you have to hear is 'I love you so much'. I don't know if I'll ever be able to say that word to you again. Because I don't know until when I'll live. If my life is not for another month and I have not felt like coming back. Those are the words I'll say every day to as long as we don't meet."
Dela also shed her tears. Her husband knew what her weakness was.
"Break evil! Why talk about something I hate the most," said Rela while hitting Irwansyah in the chest.
"You are evil. I knew I wouldn't be able to live happily without you by my side. But, you decided to leave and stay away from me, it's the same if you want to kill me."
Irwansyah let Rela beat her chest. Rela would not like it if, there are people who loved him talk as if he was going to die.

Bagaskara—his father was Rela— and Satria who was sitting next to Mama Fatonah, fully arranged a search to Azizah who was sitting across. They knew the reason why Rela wanted to be in honey. Still, the two still disagree that the Rela household must share with other women.
"Mom, is that woman good at her behavior?" ask Mr. Bagaskara to Mama Fathonah.
Mama Fatonah was silent for a moment. He thought whether Azizah was the one who had given the laxative to him or not.
"As a second wife, Azizah always obeyed and did what Rela asked. It's just that every time Irwansyah and Azizah left, at that time Rela's condition was in a bad state. That's what makes me and some people assume that Irwansyah does not pay attention to Rela because he already has a second wife. It's just that if Irwansyah was on Rela's side, even when sick would never get as bad as when she was alone. It used to happen something like this, Rela was sick while Irwansyah's turn was with Azizah. However, Irwansyah immediately accompanied Rela, as long as she received treatment in the hospital. Azizah knew about religion so she never did anything bad to Rela. However, it is the feeling of a wife who always wants to get the attention of her husband. That was what Irwansyah had done to Rela. He knew that his wife was pregnant, he went to stay at his in-laws' house." Mama Fatonah judged Irwansyah's domestic life with her two wives as such.
"It is the same as Irwansyah not giving attention to Rela fairly," said Satria and Bagaskara agreed.
"Don't a wife if she's pregnant need extra attention from her husband?" Mr. Bagaskara chimed in on his son's remarks.
Mama Fatonah justifies this because she used to be like that, always wanted to be noticed by her husband. Even all her desires when cravings are always obeyed by her husband.

It was finally decided that Rela would be with her father for some time until she gave birth. Meanwhile, the animals will take care of their two children.
Ukasyah and Oliv, came to see Rela in the afternoon. They came along with Aunt Rose.
"Mother, why are you sick again?" asked Oliv who was currently in Bagaskara's lap.
"Maybe because the weather is erratic" Rela replied with a smile.
The two little boys stared at Rela. They don't really want the mother to leave. However, at this time the mother's condition is sick and must go to treatment to recover quickly.
"But, Mother every day should call us, yes!" pinta Ukasyah and Oliv.
"Of course you'll contact you every day. Because you always miss and want to meet you," Reply Rela.
Irwansyah was silent. He inevitably had to accept that decision.

Azizah returns home with Ukasyah and Oliv, as well as Aunt Rose. But this time the atmosphere was different than usual. The two boys became quiet and did not ask Azizah much as usual.
Not even Oliv would sit on his lap.
Azizah thought that the boy hated himself now. There were no laughs and ignorant gazes at him, as they used to do when they were with him.
It was very different from Aunt Rose who looked sparkling in her eyes, as if she was happy. It became more and more apparent as the woman spoke to the taxi driver and her carefree tone was heard.
Once home, the two children went straight into the room. Azizah just stared at the two children she loved so much.

At breakfast, the two children ate in silence. Usually they will chatter to make the atmosphere of the house become crowded.
"Oliv, here's the stock. Then, this is the stock of Brother," said Azizah while handing the box of supplies to the brothers.
"From tomorrow, I don't have to be made again" Ukasyah said in a cold tone. There was not a smile that he would show Azizah every time they looked.
"Oliv too." The little boy didn't even touch his favorite fried rice. He ate only bread and milk made by Azizah.
"Have you done anything to be unkind? So you two get angry" Azizah asked in a trembling voice.
Ukashah and Oliv stared at each other. Then, both nodded.
"The mother, mother and oma are seriously ill. I should have been reported to the police for committing an act that endangers the lives of others" Ukasyah replied.
Azizah was struck by lightning when she heard the words of the boy. He did not think that the two of them had such thoughts.
"Yes, Ukasyah. This woman should have gone to prison for planning evil deeds against her first wife and in-laws. Surely he wants to rule over your father and this family treasure," Aunt Rose said with a chuckle.
"Astaghfirullahal. Aunt Rose is slander! I never did anything like that" Azizah argued. His heart was very sick once accused like this, especially by the little boy he loved.

Will Azizah give up and decide to leave? When no one expected himself. Wait for it to go, yeah!
