Test Loyalty
Disappointment As A Second Woman

"But, Nel, please for this time we should be able to keep Dhena feeling. She just gave birth. His feelings are very sensitive. Don't let it be because your presence makes things worse." Hariz continued to try to give understanding to Nelly.

Highlight Hariz's eyes imply high concern if Dhena to know the whereabouts of her honeymoon sister who is now standing on the porch of the house.

"Mas, all this time you can always try to keep the feelings of Mbak Dhena. But why do you never try to keep my feelings? Listen, yes, Mas Hariz! I am also your wife who should get the same from you." Nelly began to emit a high voice feeling she was always numbered duakan by the husband.

"Don't you yourself ever say, if you're sincere and ridho if you don't get the same thing as Dhena?" Hariz tried to remind him of what his second wife had revealed.

Nelly's emotions immediately peaked hearing Hariz's words just now that seemed deliberately to corner him. In fact, Nelly's hope first when he spoke like that was hoping to get sympathy from Hariz. So that Hariz can be more sensitive to the situation of the second woman. But, which Nelly feels Hariz still always menamount uniting his first wife.

"Good, Mas. I'm going home now! So that you won't be burdened by my presence here." Nelly spoke with great emphasis. Muffle the disappointment that stifles his chest. Then the woman with the face of ayu turned and stepped towards the door of her vehicle.

Jumbo-sized gift that was his intention to be given to his brother, brought back and thrown into the back seat. Without further ado, he immediately started the engine and gas left Hariz, who was still staring until Nelly's car vanished in the corner of the alley.

The man with a sharp nose then let out a long breath. Avoiding the feeling of fatigue in his mind that is always faced with the complexity of the household situation that he is now living. If only he could take care of himself and not let Nelly continue to provide material assistance maybe the man would not be stuck with a second marriage that makes himself feel burdened because he can not run it as well and as fully as the man who happened to be the same fate as him. The opportunity to have two wives in their home life.

Hariz then re-entered the house and sat in the living room. To get rid of all the burden that was in his mind the two-child man also began to turn on the television and choose Chanel recitation shows that he often participated in one of his subscription private TV stations.

While Dhena tried to act as if she did not know and hear the conversation between her husband and her honeymoon sister earlier. In fact, unbeknownst to Hariz Dhena has eavesdropped and seen how Hariz's efforts to keep his feelings from continuing to feel hurt by the presence of her husband's second woman.

Deep down in Dhena's heart he called out for gratitude because Hariz was still trying to keep his feelings. His intention is getting stronger to keep trying to love and accept the situation of the husband with all that is in him.

Dhena now chose to busy herself with the stack of irons in front of her accompanied by an Arabic sya'ir song lantuntan that matches her heart at this time.

"Mas, where are you going? Is this clock neat? Are you going to Nelly's?" ask Dhena carefully.

"Mas wants to go where Mas used to go once a week." Hariz answered the wife's question.

"That means I'm going to your second wife's house, right, Mas?" Dhena continued to investigate.

"Mas wants to go to njai's place. Which I have long left these last few years. Nothing, right, most Mas up to the house of the Maghrib ba'da," replied Hariz as well as saying goodbye.

Dhena's heart was happy when she heard the husband's good intentions.A glimmer of hope was shining in the woman's heart hoping that her husband would be enlightened about the true meaning of what polygamy is in accordance with religious advice.

Dhena escorted Hariz to the front porch while holding her baby in a cuddle. Meanwhile, Fathan, was engrossed in the lego game in front of the television whose condition was like a ship breaking because all his belongings were lowered and scattered filled the floor of the room.

Nearly thirty-five minutes Hariz had just arrived at his destination. The man chose a parking lot that looks still empty and loose, because almost all the nearby parking lots are already filled with two-wheeled vehicles. Although there are also one two four-wheeled vehicles that look parked there.

Hariz began to blend in with fellow men who were already sitting crammed in the place that had been provided by the host. Because the place of study is still hitchhiking in the place of one of the residents whose homes were released to be used as a ta'lim assembly that accommodates hundreds of pilgrims from various sub-districts and villages around the good distance near and from afar as well as Hariz who had to travel enough to make his back sore because too long sitting in the motorcycle seat.

Sitting cross-legged in the place where he is currently attending his mind accidentally recalled when he first wanted to propose Dhena, his first wife. He used to think if his proposal was not accepted or rejected by the Dhena family. Hariz intends to find a soul mate in his place. Because the committee of study that he participated there is a committee that is in charge of helping to find a mate for all pilgrims who are still single whether it is male or female. By filling out a paper form and submitting a photo of each as a complement to facilitate the woman in the process of helping to find a mate.

Qodarullah, at that time his proposal was immediately accepted by the Dhena family so that he no longer needed to ask for help to find a prospective life companion to the committee where he attended the study.

"Mas Hariz, yes, where have you been?" asked a black man greeting Hariz who was sitting cross-legged right next to a father who already looked old.

"Yes, sir, ma'af all this time I was too busy with my personal life to forget the obligation to continue to study religion," replied Hariz regretted himself. Then the two of them were seen to be involved in a conversation so serious that the conversation had to pause when it began to sound from the loudspeaker if the afternoon study was to be started by one of the ustaz who had been assigned to deliver study material. Which is either a coincidence or not the theme of the study that Hariz is following is raising the theme of polygamy.
