WIFE OF ABAH
CHAPTER 39
"Abrials! This is Maisaroh! She's the daughter of the late Abdulaziz" Idris said. Abryal looked up at Maisaroh who lowered his head.
Suddenly Idris and ummi Salamah called Abryal to the boarding house Darul Makmur. And Abryal came without his wife and children. It turns out that abah and ummi want to re-match himself with the daughter of an ustad. The late Ustad Abdulaziz.
The decision of abah and ummi cannot be rejected. It's like a dead price for Abryal. What about Almeda if you know this? Polygamy is allowed. But for Abryal, he doesn't like to share with many wives. For him Abryal was enough to have one wife, Almeda.
"You know for sure, why did you and ummi tell you to go back to the cottage?" said abah Idris. Abryal was silent. He is unable to speak when he is in front of his ummi abah.
"Maisaroh besides him memorizing the Koran, he is also a teacher. Just like Almeda. It doesn't hurt if you get married again and have two wives. You can be fair with your wives. This is not a problem. Abah thought, Almeda would allow and be happy if you marry again," said Idris.
"Yes, Abryal! Let ummi and abah talk to your wife. Maisaroh is a good girl. Ummi thinks Almeda would love to have honey that can help him take care of your children" said Ummi Salamah.
"Astaghfirullah, ummi abah! It is not my intention to reject this match. From the beginning I was married to Almeda because of that match, I tried to be sincere and learn to love Almeda. Until finally I and Almeda both become husband and wife who both understand and care for each other" said Abryal.
"Abrials! Please do not refuse this match. Maisaroh is an orphan. She's a good girl and a sholehah after all. You should not refuse this windfall. Having a good wife and a sholehah is the greatest fortune to you" Idris said.
"But abah ummi!" abryal.
"Already, already! You better rest first. Maybe you are tired because you just arrived from Jakarta. After resting and contemplating everything, you can think clearly. Abah and Ummi will contact Almeda to come to this boarding school. Abah and Ummi will talk to Almeda. You don't worry about this" said Idris.
"But abah ummi!" sahut Abryal who eventually cut off because abah and ummi got up from his seat and passed leaving the room. Now in the room left behind Maisaroh and Abryal. Maisaroh is seen bowing his head. She was afraid that Abryal would be angry with her.
"Mas Abryal! I'm sorry! Not all my wishes, my mother! Abah ummi has asked me to be betrothed to Mas Abryal. If Mas Abryal does not want to accept this matchmaking, later I will return to talk with abah and ummi," said Maisaroh.
"No need! There is no point in resisting their wishes. If abah and ummi have decided something, we cannot refuse it. Including this match. Obviously I already have a wife. Obviously Almeda was also the choice of the abah and ummi who was betrothed to me" Abryal said. Maisaroh bowed lethargic. He shook when he spoke to Abryal.
