WIFE TO MY HUSBAND
CHAPTER 9.

"Three days, it looks like the time will be enough. Adel has a request for Father, Mother and Abi." Adel touched her husband's hand.

"Say, Son. Whatever you ask God willing we follow, you are our only daughter do not hesitate to ask for anything with us. Let alone anything, even lives are willing to give to you, son." Mr. Hanif kissed Adel's forehead.

Ms. Hanif nodded in agreement to her husband's words.

"Mother and Father are right, dear. For us, let alone Abi personally. Umi is valuable, much more valuable than Abi's own life. So whatever Umi asks insyaallah as long as Abi can be able to Abi granted," said Zidan softly.

Adel smiled wryly, his heart warmed up should he burst into his mind making the clear circles in his eyes decay because of happiness.

"Alhamdulillah, Adel is surrounded by good people. Thank you so much, Mom, Abi. But there is no need to get that far, Adel just wants to have a small request that you hopefully agree with" he murmured.

"Say, son," said Ms. Hanif.

Adel took a deep breath before saying his wish.

"Adel just want the same Father Mother also present later at Mas Zidan's second marriage with Nisa, Adel asked for the blessing of the Father and Mother for the marriage of my two husbands so that from the marriage can be born a righteous offspring. So that you don't hate Adel anymore." Adel began to sob somehow his chest suddenly claustrophobic every considering how sharp and spicy the insults of Bu Sita on him.

"Adel just want to be loved by Mama, huhuhu ... Adel willingly in honey as long as Mama Sita can love also the same Adel later," said Adel spilled all the tightness in his heart so far.

   Bu Hanif gasped quickly and moved to embrace Adel.

"I'm sorry, Nduk. Sorry all this time I did not know that you were this sick, not only physical pain but apparently your mind was tormented. Sorry I just found out now, Del. Sorry," Ms. Hanif repeatedly said an apology in Adel's ear.

"Why don't you tell us, Zidan? Why do you keep it a secret that Adel has not been liked by your mother? Where is the affection he showed at your marriage with Adel? Is it just because Adel has not been able to get pregnant and he can just hate Adel?" furious Mr. Hanif stared at Zidan dislike.

Zidan looked down not daring to return his in-laws gaze.

"Sorry, Sir. I also do not know why Mama suddenly behaved like that Adel, but Mama used to love Adel. Zidan has repeatedly talked to Mama so that she can be nice with Adel but I don't know it seems like Mama never wants to know, the only condition that he could change was probably just to give him a grandchild, as Adel said," Zidan replied unpleasantly.

In any case, he had promised Mr. Hanif and Ms. Hanif that he would always look after Adel, be a shield for her and would not let anything or anyone hurt her. But maybe only two promises he can keep until now, because the last promise is denied because of his own mother's ego.

Mr. Hanif seemed to be holding back anger

until his chest goes up and down.

"Then return Adel, let us take care of him. Adel doesn't need a toxic family like yours!" sergeant Mr. Hanif accused Zidan.

As a father who has struggled desperately to support his son, of course, Mr. Hanif did not accept if anyone hurt even to insult the daughter alone puppet he so loved since infancy.

Zidan raised his face in disbelief, as did Adel who immediately released his embrace from the mother.

"No, Sir! Please give me one more chance to make Adel happy! I love Adel, Sir! Let us not have children until death as long as I can still age with Adel. Please don't ask Adel to come back, sir. I beg you," Isak Zidan, as he fell down to rest in front of Mr. Hanif.

"I'd even say that you wouldn't let me marry again, even if Adel might get angry later. But I'd rather lose something else than lose Adel! I beg you, Sir! Withdraw the words of Father, let Adel remain my wife." Zidan holding both knees Pak Hanif lowered his pride as low as he was provided he was not separated from Adel.

Mr. Hanif did not budge, only his reddened eyes now seemed to re-flow the water.

"Sir, please don't be selfish. Adel only asked for your willingness to approve Mas Zidan's second marriage, not to make Adel separate from Mas Zidan. Adel's in love with Mas Zidan, sir. Please don't make us part, "pint Adel weld as he cupped his hands to his chest.

Bu Hanif looked at Mr. Hanif sharply. "Don't be stubborn, sir. Remember Adel is sick again!"

"But what if later after Zidan remarries, Ms Sita still dares to hurt Adel Bu? There is no guarantee that after he gets a grandchild from Zidan and Nisa he will be able to love Adel too. It could be that he even loved Nisa and came back to insult Adel because he could not get pregnant. All of that is more likely to happen, ma'am. And you are not willing, you are not sincere father's only child is treated like that! We better take Adel home," said Mr. Hanif with tears in his eyes.

Zidan gasped and immediately hugged Mr. Hanif's leg tightly.

"I swear, Sir. There will be no conditions that you were afraid of earlier if you would give me a second chance to be with Adel. I promise to be more assertive with Mama and make her love Adel again! Please don't trust me, sir."

  Ms. Hanif, who was ready, urged her husband again.

"Sir!" exclaimed Bu Hanif with widened eyes looking at Mr. Hanif.

"Adel wants to be with Mas Zidan, sir," Adel said, still with his hands in front of his chest asking for his father's understanding.

Mr. Hanif exhaled a rough breath, and slowly brought Zidan's body back to stand on par with him.

"Only one chance, if you fail, then you must be ready to return Adel to us."

Zidan nodded his head and kissed Mr. Hanif's hand repeatedly while thanking him as much as he could. While Adel fell back into the arms of his mother with a feeling of relief.

Although in the future everything is still gray, but it never hurts to try, right? Adel only hopes that the love lost from her in-laws can return she got with her sacrifice to let her husband marry again.

The Nisa apartment.

It looks like Nisa is helping Bu Sekar who just arrived to bring in a shabby bag and some of her luggage crackle bags into the room of the luxury apartment Nisa bought for her.

Bu Sekar's eyes were rounded while staring at the astonishment of a room that was more like a palace than an apartment.

"Let's go in, Mom." Nisa walked ahead of Bu Sekar towards the room she was going to occupy.

With eyes sparkling with amazement, Bu Sekar followed Nisa.

"Noise! Is her husband Adel a rich man?" chirps Bu Sekar with sparkling eyes.
