Ala's lips trembled at the advice of her mother. "Umi, Ala is not strong anymore."
Umi rubbed his daughter's back. "Wait a minute, will you? Umi wants to buy water first so you become calmer."
Umi moved from the position of her daughter who looked completely helpless with the circumstances. Ala's position was replaced by her father-in-law. Meanwhile, the mother-in-law who had accused and continued to blame Ala, stood far enough away and looked down embarrassed at the thought of her actions to her daughter-in-law earlier.
"Alas, I know this is very hard on you. However, if you are already tired, you can think of this marriage again."
Meanwhile, the woman who had deliberately kept her distance from the son-in-law, was now staring at Ala with a sad face. His heart was wracked with great guilt because the woman named Salma had blatantly said that Syauqi was his wife.
"Ala tired, Dad? Ala Rasa, Ala's efforts so far to be a good wife for her did not pay off. He prefers his girlfriend to be together. I ... I'm just a person who interrupts in the middle of their passionate love."
My mother-in-law looked at each other. Father tried to understand Ala's feelings of being so hurt and disappointed. He nodded with empathy.
"Well, marriage is a long and challenging journey. So do not be surprised if people say that marriage is a worship of a lifetime to be a field of reward for those who patiently live it."
"Sometimes we have to face difficult situations and difficult choices. However, that does not mean you have to bear everything yourself. If you are really tired and feel unable to continue, you need to think about your own happiness and well-being."
The mother-in-law who had looked down slowly approached Ala. He felt very sorry for his unfair treatment and blamed Ala for not believing what Ala said earlier.
"Alas, I'm sorry. Apparently, Mom is a bad in-law. In fact, Mother has tried to be the person who will be an example for you later. However, I have misbehaved and should not accuse you like that."
Ala lowered her head staring at the foot that had been daunted as it was brought to her feet. "There's nothing to forgive, ma'am. Here, we both become fools in this matter. However, Ala made sure ... The relationship between our daughter-in-law and in-laws will never end" said Ala who still can not look into the eyes of her husband's parents.
Mom and Dad smiled. "Thank God, Ala. I feel so grateful when Faisal gives you up to be Syau—'s wife"
His words stopped before he finished his speech. Ala's one hand hangs, making Dad see clearly the palm of this girl."Sorry, Dad. Ala's not done talking."
"Oh, yeah sorry. Continue on."
Ummi who had been going to find a drink had come carrying a bag containing several bottles of mineral water. "Alah, have a drink. Let your heart be calmer."
Ala nodded her head reading the basmallah three times and sipped water three times. After that, he looked a little calmer.
"Mom, Dad ... He promised not to end the beautiful relationship between us. However, it seemed like it could no longer undergo with Uda Uqi. Allow Ala to split—"
"Yes!" ummi Megat.
"Split with Uda Uqi, for Ala could no longer live her day as his wife." Ala continued her words.
"Well?" Ummi's voice grew stern, but Mother shook her head.
"Let Ala speak. Because, indeed he was the one who felt for himself how his life with Syauqi."
"Ala and Uqi aren't okay? Ummi never heard bad news about your household. Why so suddenly? What do you think Ala? Did you forget, marrying Syauqi is the will of the late Abi. Didn't you promise that?"
"If you end your marriage, what should Ummi say when meeting in the barzah later with Abi?"
"Ummi, Ala understands that this is the will of the late Abi. Ala also remembered the promise I made while married to Syauqi. However, our marriage is no longer what Ummi imagined. There is unhappiness and destruction in it. Ala doesn't want to live in suffering and maintain this unhappy relationship."
Ummi tried to calm down for a moment, then he continued in a soft voice. "Well, every marriage has its own problems. There is no perfect marriage. But, as a wife, you should try to solve the problem and stay true to your promise."
Ala was crying. His heart was torn between his obligation as a child and his desire to find true happiness.
"Ummi, all this time Ala has been trying. I have fought with all my might to be the solemn wife of Uda Uqi. But, in fact, Ala was ignored, unloved, and not just befriended tears. This marriage is very unhealthy. Ala wants to find true love and happiness, both for myself and for Syauqi."
Mother and Father-in-law looked at each other, looking confused and sad. They knew that this decision was difficult for Ala, and they also loved her like their daughter sincerely.
"Ala, we love you and just want your happiness. But, we hope we can reconsider your decision carefully before regretting. Marriage is a sacred commitment. Don't be in a hurry to end it."
Ala glanced towards a room where there was a woman her husband loved. "Mom and Dad don't have to worry. If Mom and Dad feel like Uda needs a wife in this tough time, she has it, and it's not me."
"Maybe, I'll think about it. But in a very long time."
Ala got up and walked to let her husband's parents be amazed by the answer she gave. Ummi was caught looking awkward on the two besiannya.
"I'll follow him. Assalamualaikum." Ummi returns after Ala and finally he captures the princess.
However, this daughter continued to walk did not change the call of the woman who gave birth to this. Ala immediately headed for the parking lot, where the car that brought her mother here. After seeing the mother's luxury antique vehicle parked, Ala entered and threw herself.
"Dek Ala? Want to come home with Umi?" ask Mr. Rahmad, the driver of their family.
Ala did not give an answer with her mouth. He just nodded, but his look was cold.
'From today on, there are no more tears for her, no more this love that I feel only for myself, no more Syauqi's name in this heart, ' her heart is sad.
Shortly after, the vehicle door from the other side opened. Umi came in and opened her eyes. He hit Ala's arm full of anger. "You're Ala? Why could it be like this? Where was our daughter Ala who was obedient first?" his mother was disappointed.
"Hit Mi! Hit Ala! If necessary remove and ten9drown Ala from this earth. Ala reckon, Ala doesn't deserve to live anymore as Ummi and Abi's son."
