His decision to divorce, required him to solve the problem quickly.
As promised, that afternoon he would deliver Meisha to Abah's house.
Honestly, his guts are so shrunk. And what about the injury of Abah's extended family. For his decision.
The black car entered the grounds of the three-story house.
The woman who was talking to her maid came out. After hearing the car stop.
Meisya immediately ran towards the car that she knew belonged to her father-in-law. He was confused to sit in the passenger seat or next to the steering wheel. Given his status with Ali, it was hard to guess.
Are they husband and wife in religion?
Given that Ali never uttered the talaq, clearly.
But back again, Ali had intended to divorce him.
But when he was confused by his mind. Suddenly, the passenger car door opened on its own. That means he has to sit in the back.
A moment later, he realized. If Ali is also sitting in the passenger seat while staring at the screen.
“Oh, it turns out he invited Nazel!” he glanced at the steering wheel. And immediately sit in the passenger seat wearing a seatbelt.
“How, how are you Zel?” ask him to the personal driver of his father-in-law.
Making Ali who was sitting beside him glance.
The man wondered why his first wife did not greet him. Or because when Meisya just entered, he focused more on the phone screen. So the woman silenced him.
Ali shook his head, denying. If he was jealous at that moment.
“Not ... it can't happen!” her rebuttal made Meisya who was sitting next to him turn her head.
Even with Nazel who had wanted to open his voice, answer Meisya's question was unanswered.
Because Ali was speaking first.
“Why you?” tanya Meisya shook her head. Seeing Ali's strange attitude.
Ali scratched his neck wrong behavior. And grudging his stupidity.
“Ah .. don't forget it.”
After the conversation, they did not engage in conversation. Ali decided to close her eyes and Meisya just kept her head down. Sometimes I look at Ali.
A journey that takes less time, two ages. Looks so long, if the three are not involved in a pleasant discussion.
The car stopped at the SPBU, made Ali open his eyes, and fix his seat.
“I want to know your reason. TF money, to me,” great-grandson Meisya made Ali who had been looking outward turn his head.
The man took a long breath.
“I cannot accept, your advice. Let's just say I bought, the house occupied by Aina.”
“Ck ..you are so stubborn. I was surprised,” was upset staring hard at Ali.
Even with Ali, the man also looked at him no less sharply.
“Do you not realize, if you are as stubborn as I am.”
“Ah .. has been talking to you, there is no end. You must know how to chim in,” annoyed Meisya.
“Yes that's the reality, you're stubborn!” his anxiety wanted to cupping Meisya's face.
“Ehem Dehaman from the front made Ali pull his hand which soon touched Meisya.
The two men threw their faces away, misbehaving.

After nearly two hours, they finally reached Abah's house. The car chose parking outside the cottage, because it coincided with the adzan magrib. Making a crowded cottage filled with students who are going to the mosque.
In the car cold sweat drenched Ali's forehead. Seeing that Meisya, as a person who knows the character of Ali. She also tried to calm her husband. In a different way than usual. If usually he will stroke and hold the man's hand. For now, it may have to be with mocking or joking speech only.
“What's with the stubborn Master? Why is her forehead wet, I think the rooftop is not opened,” she said looking up and glanced back at her husband, saying, “And yes today it does not rain .. then where the water came from!”
“You should not mock me. .. the problem .. later if Abah does not accept his son being returned. I could have been beaten by hundreds of santri. Off on the spot, insulated on the spot dikebu— Emmm!” Ali snickered as Meisya suddenly smothered her mouth.
“Hust! Don't say so no good,” sayings put index finger on his lips.
The gazes of the two clashed, the look in their eyes still admired each other.
Nazel who was in front glanced from the rearview mirror. The young man buried his face in the steering wheel, looking at the two couples sitting in the passenger seat. Having fun.
“You wait until when?” nazel's heavy voice, made the two people who were being lulled instantly come to a realization and remove the seatbelt.
Both look equally awkward. But Ali tried to shift what his heart felt. By getting Nazel to talk.
“Sholat first Zel, who knows after the soul mate prayer comes,” godanya to the handsome young man.
Nazel did not answer, but he followed the advice of his superior son.
“I go straight to the mosque huh? Later bada pray directly to home,” concluded leaving Meisya.
The woman could only take a deep breath.
That night Ali and Nazel prayed in the back shaf, both also compact left one rakaat with the priest. Ali was grateful until he ended the prayer Meisya family had not seen.
Before the end, one or two of the students remembered his face. And began to whisper from ear to ear, until the news was heard in the ear of Abah who happened to be the makmum behind the priest.
After the congregation left the mosque. Abah who usually stayed until Isaiah, that night he also left his seat. And look for the whereabouts of his son-in-law. Is the bird right?
Until outside the middle-aged mosque did not find the figure he was looking for. He rushed to the house and every way to his house, looking for a car parked in front of the hall. But nothing was found.
“What ears I misheard,” his murmur went inside the house. And his eyes were perfectly rounded, when he found the figure he was looking for was sitting in the living room. With a handsome young man who he knows as his iron chauffeur.
Ali and Nazel immediately stood up when, seeing Abah coming from outside. The two men greeted the host.
“His hand has healed Li?” abah looked at his daughter-in-law's hand.
Ali smiled, she was grateful. And it's true that Meisya hasn't told me about their divorce.
“As’salammualaikum!” the greeting in unison was able to divert the eyes of the three people sitting in the living room.
“Long age asked came,” exclaimed Abah after answering greetings from her sons.
“Tumben Li, here isn't Ngabarin?” greet Atan while in the single seat beside Ali.
The master only smiled faintly, waiting for Meisya who had just sent him a message. If you're waiting for your mom to come out of the room.
The sound of footsteps approaching the living room made Ali turn his head. Somehow his chest became tight, looking at the middle-aged woman that was being held by his wife.
That night he will hurt the feelings of Meisya's extended family.
“Ali O Allah, why are you here not to say,” reprimanded mother when her daughter-in-law kissed the back of her hand.
Again the man just smiled faintly.
Before finally Meisya asked her mother to sit down.
“The two of you why, collect us here?” search Arsa wonder.
Making Ali and Meisya look at each other.
That night Ali had to be gentleman to express the intention of his arrival that night.
He took a deep breath, before finally saying, “First of all Ali, thanks to Abah and mother, Akang-akang who have received the arrival of Ali tonight!”
Hearing that overly polite speech, made the person who was there. Feeling that there is a bad signal, especially the mother. The middle-aged woman, her heart was beating faster.
“For the umpteenth time, Ali wants to say a big apology! Especially for Abah and Mother, as Eisya's parents. With a heavy heart, Ali returned his beloved daughter Abah, to the arms of Abah!”
The deg! Their hearts stopped beating. The room was silent, Abah's gaze was empty, while Meisya's older brother, looked down deeply. Mom pressed her chest, which was painful.
Meisya was surprised to see her mother's breath go off.
“Mom-mom!” meisya shouted to make everyone stand up, not least Ali. The man felt guilty for his mother's condition. Ali sat down in front of her mother-in-law, wanting to help her drink. But someone pulled the collar from behind. Make him stand up. Obtained.
“Job ..kau!” athan's shout hit the corner of Ali's lip on the paper. Makes the man grimace not to fight.
Seeing this, Nazel wanted to avenge Athan's blow, but when Ali raised his hand. Form a code to be silent, the young man was instantly silent on the spot.
“After you get the beautiful and younger girl. You reached Meisya? If you can't polygamy, don't do it,” snaps at Ali's collar.
Seeing her brother want to hit her husband's face again. Meisya ran and pushed her brother's body away.
“It's Enough! The same accusation by Rashid! What Akang accused was wrong,” shouted Meisya standing in front of Ali.
Everyone looked at him in wonder.
“Kak Rashid never wanted polygamy! BUT I FORCED IT! Because I can't give you a descendant. So here's what I deserve to blame. Not brother Rashid!” his screams made his cries break instantly
They're all dumbstruck.
The big family did know about Meisya who could not give offspring. Therefore, they agreed when Ali's permission to remarry. But they don't know the real reason.
“You don't, defend your husband constantly. Until when can you cover the disgrace?” hardik Arsya who was giving his mother a drink.
“It wasn't me who covered her disgrace. But he covered my disgrace. Abah now Meis asked. A few months ago, Rashid asked permission for polygamy. Did he say, Meisya has given me permission to get married? No right?”
Abah was silent, what his daughter said was true.
“You know why?” Show it to every family member.
And it ends at Arsa.
“Because of him, more willing to say unfaithful man. Rather than risking the dignity of his wife.”
“You think ... he immediately wants ... accept my offer! NAY! He's not like that. So I ask, don't blame her,” she said with tears drenching her cheeks behind her niqab.
Everyone was silent to his explanation. However, there are some people who are not exhausted by Meisya's decision.
“You fool, May! What sunah you do. But you risked your duty. As a couple, your job is to maintain the marriage.”
Ali who was silent clenched her hand. When someone insults their partner.
“And you'll never get, a guy like Ali. You have wasted it. Do you know how stupid you are!” yelled Arsa fatigued with her sister's way of thinking. He did not realize that his hand was raised and wanted to hit his sister.
Seeing that Ali was standing behind his wife, pulling Meisya's wrists roughly. Makes Meisya's body turn around to embrace her body.
Her left hand was blocking Arsa's wrist.
“As long as I am her husband. I try not to play with him, and I will not let anyone hurt him. In front of me, as long as she becomes my legal wife!” firmly Ali threw Arsa's hand rough.
“I return it to you. The goal is that he gets a support system that makes him rise from his slump. Not making fun of.” Ali looked at each family with a flat gaze, but as her eyes clashed with Abah her gaze turned hopeful.
“Change, what happened to me and Meisya. As outlined, I want this divorce to be okay. It's the right decision, for both of our lives!”
“And yes Kang Athan ... I do not want to live happily over people suffering. And one more .. I also don't want to live this life with guilt. By choosing one between Eisya and Aina! I'm not that stupid...” she said, which made everyone close their lips.
Ali whispered in the ear of Meisya who realized that crying was necessary. Made the woman break her embrace.
Ali walked over to the sitting mother in a weak condition. The man sat in front of him.
“Ali apologize ma'am, for what happened.” Be down in, hold back regrets.
The middle-aged man stroked his daughter-in-law's head. With lips that held back her crying.
“Li ..Sometimes humans can't control the way the world works. It's enough for you, trying to keep your marriage. As her mother Mei, I apologize for her mistake!”
Ali shook her head, clasping her mother-in-law's hand tightly.
“No Ma'am, everything that happened wasn't completely wrong Eisya! So Ali please do not apologize for, a mistake that is not entirely the fault of mother or Eisya!”
“Despite your divorce with Mei, our relationship won't break with Li?” asked mom to caress her daughter-in-law's hair.
Ali smiled shook his head, “Silahturahmi must continue ma'am! The relationship between mother and child has no break-up. We can still relate well.” hope to make people who are there. Moved by the relationship of his son-in-law and mother-in-law.
“Then, Ali resigned,” pampitnya hugged his mother-in-law. And turned to Abah who hugged him tightly. Even the middle-aged man was willing, driving him to the car.
TBC...
Time is not on the side where a good relationship must be spaced. The laughter that should be there must be eliminated
