THE NEGLECTED PEARL FOR ADAM
CHAPTER 46. PATIENCE DOES NOT MEAN WEAK

Sultan explained to Clara that the car was actually purchased for Pearl. Because, the Sultan could not be able to take Mutiara if you want to travel.

After all, the Sultan did not want the dignity of the Hendrawan family to fall in front of the Mutiara family, if until Muti asked for a vehicle from his parents' house for Muti to use during his stay with him.

Hearing the explanation from the Sultan, Clara felt victorious, she finally got the car first rather than Pearl.

"Thank you dear, brother Sultan has proven, if you put me first rather than Pearl," said Clara while tightening her embrace in the Sultan's arm.

"Sure dong Yang. But, remember your promise tonight!" tagih Sultan's.

"Remember, I certainly give the best service to Kak Sultan."

With a happy face, Clara took Sultan, invited him to go have fun while having dinner in a romantic place.

As the Sultan revels outside with Clara, Muti waits at home, until the food Muti cooks is untouched and he falls asleep in the dining chair on an empty stomach.

Muti awakens when he hears his phone ringing, apparently from Elena.

"Hallo Ma'am" Elena said as Muti raised a video call from her.

"You El, I was surprised" Muti said, rubbing his eyes.

"Bak wake up? lho...isn't Madam Muti in the dining room? Why did you sleep there?" elena asked astonished.

"Sst, don't speak out loud El, it will sound the same Dad and Mom, I don't want them to have a hard time thinking about my household" said Mutia.

"Yes, sorry. Why did Madam Muti sleep in the dining room? Hasn't the Master gone home yet?"

Mutia simply nodded, she did not want to tell in detail the disgrace of her household.

Elena sighed, then asked, "Mac Muti must not have eaten yet? It's 21:00 Ma'am now, but Muti will be sick again. Don't wait for Mister, who isn't sure when to go home. Definitely, right now Master is with that lady of the actor! Maybe the office isn't closing at this hour!" elena was angry.

"Already El, can not continue to be prejudiced, maybe Kak Sultan is overtime," said Muti trying to cover the ugliness of her husband.

"Mbak Muti do not just be silent, once Mr. Sultan must be opposed, do not step on the self-esteem of the wife, the mentang-ang, the wife is silent, continue on footjak!"

"Already El, we'll stroke, if we get angry."

"Oh Ma'am, what is the heart of Mbak Muti, how can it be this patient? If I'm in the position of Ma'am, I've been squashed and maybe I'm snapping the hair of the actor's mother!" elena said while demonstrating she was furious with someone.

Then Elena said again, "And, Mr. Sultan I must have left. I'd rather live a widow than be tormented" Elena said, clenching her hands.

Muti's face was gloomy, he was sad but Muti was unlikely to leave his marriage which was still a few days old.

Seeing Muti's face like that, Elena became sad and she felt guilty for making Muti sad. Then Elena said, "I'm sorry Ma'am, I've made Muti sad."

"Not that I'm weak El, I hold out for the sake of both El's families, especially for Father and Mother. What would people say if my marriage ran aground, but not as long as corn. For sure I'll smear the shame on the parents' faces."

"But when will you. You have to do something if you still want to maintain your household" Elena suggested.

"Yes El, I also still think I have to act how, in order to survive a situation like this. I also have the heart and the limits of El's patience, so I can't stay silent forever, they treat me like this!" pearl Say.

"Well this I agree, get up Ma'am! teach them a lesson, especially the actor, so that he is deterred and does not disturb the household of people at will!" said Elena who tried to burn the spirit of the Pearl.

"Reverse Ma'am, I'm the luckier one. Come on Ma'am's spirit! Mbak must eat now, do not let Mpa Muti sick because of them. If Mbak is sick, who will take care of Mbak, while the distance we live is quite far."

"Yes El, here I want to eat."

"Well, good-bye, Mother. I close first yes, want to see Mother, it seems outside is crowded, maybe both Brother Sister Muti just arrived."

"Yes El, say hello to them! God willing next week I visit there," said Pearl.

"Oke Mbak, I'm waiting for the arrival of Muti. Assalamualaikum," said Elena closed her call.

Muti returned Elena's greeting, and upon seeing Elena's call, she rushed to the sink, washing her hands with soap.

After that Muti took a plate of rice along with side dishes and vegetables. Although not tasteful, but he had to force the food to get into his stomach. True said Elena, Muti should not be weak, do not get sick that will harm himself.

One bribe after another, the food entered Mutia's mouth, Muti was sad once in a while, he remembered the togetherness of eating with his family.

Usually if Muti is not appetizing, the mother will cook her favorite food and feed it into her mouth.

Dad usually always asks, Muti wants to eat what, what fruit and whatever Muti asks for Father immediately buy it.

Likewise with the two Muti Brothers who loved him very much, Fadlan and Fadhil never let his sister grieve. They always make Muti smile and laugh.

While feeding the rice into his mouth, Muti shed tears. He misses life with his family. In this house he is a stranger, living a lonely life.

Want to visit the neighbors, it is not a type of Pearl, because the harm must be more, Muti is afraid the disgrace of his household can be revealed accidentally and afraid to gossip something that is clearly not useful.

Today, Muti can only enjoy solitude without the affection and attention of the husband. Muti wiped away his tears, he did not want to look so weak if the Sultan returned.

After completing the ritual, Muti washed the dishes and stored the remaining vegetables and side dishes into the refrigerator.

Muti did not want to throw away food, as his parents always taught him.

Allah SWT also dislikes his servant who wastes food because it is redundant.

The word mubazir itself is interpreted as using something not in a decent place. Mubazir not only on food, but also other treasures.

As explained in the Qur'an Surah Al-Isra verse 26 which means:

"And give to those families who are close to their due, to the poor and to those who are on the way, and do not waste (your heart) extravagantly. Verily, those who spend their lives are the brothers of Satan, and the devil is very disbelieving in his Lord" (QS Al-Isra:26).

Meanwhile, choosing to stop eating because it is full also has a foundation. Because eating above satiety is also prohibited by sharia because it includes israf or excessive acts.

"Eat and drink and do not overdo it. Verily, Allah does not like those who are superfluous" (QS Al-A'raf: 31).

Then, which proposition should be prioritized if you are in a state of fullness before the food runs out?

In this case, the context must be seen. If the food taken ends up being wasted, it includes redundant and displeased by Allah SWT.

A scholar once explained that there may be one blessing in the last one. If food is not consumed and thrown away, then humans will lose their blessing.
