I immediately stepped out of the room towards the kitchen, from a distance looks Nikmah who is cooking. If my guess is correct, this can no longer be tolerated, he has committed the grave sin of betraying our marriage. More than that, he had committed adultery with other men while still a wife, of course my sin bore him as his legal husband.


" Nikmah." Call me with a slight tinge to her, and at once she looks back at me with a tense face maybe because she was so surprised.


Maybe I was surprised because I called his name directly. If I usually call him Umi, different at this time, I am upset to hold the anger that is ready to explode. Everyone has a limit to patience, right? Maybe this time my patience began to run out, because the action may be worse than before.


I admit that as long as we lived together on one roof through the household heresy, Nikmah was a stubborn person, willing to win srndiri, always suspicious of me without knowing the reality. Just accuse people haphazardly, but actually he has a good heart.


Yes, such is the name of man, no one is perfect as well as me, which has many shortcomings. I asked him to turn off the stove first before we sat at the dinner table facing each other just the dining table as our barrier. I looked into his eyes before asking.


" Is there something you're hiding from your husband?" I asked firmly, I saw she looked nervous maybe because she knew I was something she was hiding from me, but I was still trying to control my anger, aware that I was in the kitchen right now, there were children in their rooms, who might have been awake.


" Hide a-what? Umi doesn't understand Abi?" he replied slightly lowered his head, just looking at it like this was already irritating me. Why isn't he honest, rather than clandestine.


" This is what? Hasn't it been since that time, we've never had a husband and wife relationship? Why are you taking this drug? What was that last night, you went with another guy, and played behind my back? Answer honestly?" I asked trying to keep myself in control, so as not to explode right now.


Long she was silent looking down, while linking her two palms on the table. For about five minutes he kept his lips shut. Silence like this has answered all my questions.


" Who is he? What is Cak Rojak? Answer Nikmah?!!" Hardik stared intently at her, but Nikmah did not dare to look at me.


" I'm sorry Umi, Abi. Really—


" stop! You have committed a great sin, but can still be calm as if you were just chatting normally. I really can't believe it, though,,


" I'm sorry Umi, but Umi is threatened by her." His eyes tried to convince me.


" Okay, let's just say you were threatened by him. But you must enjoy the action, right?" My tail is starting to get out of control again. A liverache? For sure.


Nikmah fell silent, unable to answer. And that means the answer is right, he enjoys playing games that other men do. Huh! O Allah..


" If you did all this because of what I did that hurt you by remarrying Anniyah, I'm really sorry. I admitted wrong not directly frankly to you at that time. But I'm sorry we can't be together anymore, from now on." My daughter, I don't know why suddenly the thought of parting with her just popped out.


" NO!! Don't divorce Umi, Abi. Umi will not want, it is enough Abi hurt me by accepting my honey, but Umi will not want if we separate. Poor kids, at least think of them Abi." The cry that looked at me straight away. And I was a little pity, looking at his face that turned out to be worshipped, it turned out that from now on he was crying in silence. For a moment I thought really if I was confused myself, but really we should not think about our ego, pity the children who are victims, but this path is wrong. I don't want Nikmah to go any deeper. And I don't want to keep hurting him either.


" Well, for the sake of Abi's children will still come here often. But we can't stay with one more roof. The only way we have to separate, our household is not healthy and Abi asked for you to marry even religiously, rather than continue to commit adultery next. Abi please agree with this decision. Abi would often come to the house just to see the children." It is my light, who finally gave us a possible solution that this was the best decision for us.


I know Nikmah still feels hurt because I've remarried Anni? But whatever my day is, all out of my control. I didn't think I wanted to marry more than one wife. I resigned maybe because this is my destiny.


Did not the fruit fall from the tree, as Abahku married Umma when Umma lost a husband, and also had a daughter, Neng Atin, who was then a year old, Abah accepted Umi's status sincerely and loved Nengku with all his heart like his own biological daughter.


And now I was married a second time to a young woman, and Nikmah accepted me and my status sincerely. But if a wife who still has a husband has committed adultery, what should her husband do? Maybe if the incident at that time I can understand, because the situation of Cak Rojak who was drunk so out of control. But this time it was different, they did the adultery thing in a conscious state, I really could not forgive the actions of both of them.


" Nikmah," Call me gently to make her look up and look at me with her face puffy, we looked at each other.


" I am Aziz Abdullah, from this day on, and you are no longer my wife. I'm sorry, I'm still going to keep giving the kids a living... " I said with a heavy heart. I didn't have the heart, but this marriage was torn apart, and I realized that I had torn it apart first.


I walked into the room to clean up and perform the late morning prayers. I heard Nikmah crying more and more. But this is our path that must be taken.


After putting some clothes in my medium-sized bag out of the house, it was clear. I saw the children who had been sitting neatly in their school clothes at the dinner table and eating their breakfast. I will really miss the morning like this, I'm sorry my dear Abi..


" Abi, are you going?" Zikri chirps who had been standing next to me since when. I also squatted to align my height with him.


" Yes, Abi there needs to be a few days outside, so Abi doesn't come home. But Abi promised to come to see you often. You can't be naughty, right? So the boy who obeyed Umi and became the son of sholeh-sholeh." I rubbed the top of his head, then Hilda, Aidan and Mus came closer to us. I did the same to all of them. My daughter Mus looks very disappointed in me, I'm sorry Abi..


After a long time we talked also joking, I say goodbye to all of them, not least Nikmah, the woman who I had a talak this morning. It was hard for him to let me go, but I hope it's the best decision for all of us.


" Assynalamulaic.." After hearing the reply from them all I walked out of the house, then drove my bike to the Anni boarding house. That's where I'm going now.
