A Good Decision
After Marini's departure, Usfi went to the kitchen and several other rooms to find Gani and Azam to inform him of Anwar's wife's change that would take good care of Maisha's children. He only hoped that Marini's desire was not because of Anwar's threat but, because of his own self-awareness.
Usfi had already said what he should have said without needing to interfere further, especially now that he already had his own family with Gani.
She asks Sholeh and Ima about her husband's whereabouts, but, the two old men don't know.
“Who was the guest, Fi?” asked Sholeh who sat beside Ima while closing the Qur’an which he had just read with his wife.
Usfi approached and sat at the side, hugging his father's hand.
“She Marini, his wife Mas Anwar,” says Usfi flat, “She asked about Mbak Mai's children and their favorite food.”
“Loh, why is he asking about it with you, Fi?” ask Ima.
“So, if Abah is equally Ambuk see there are people in the house Usfi, it's actually Mbak Mai's children who run away from home and hide there, I love the house for them.”
“What, so that house you love Noura?” ask Ima.
“Iya, why, Ambush?”
“What a joke, just wonder, but, yes already ... that's your right, want you to love anyone too!” ima said she couldn't believe it.
“Why don't you say this problem is the same Abah, maybe Abah can help, kasian kids there must take care of nothing themselves! Is her new mom that fierce?”
“Yes! Abah may indeed be able to help, but, the problem is not only in children alone .. same Mas Anwar also, he knew what he had to do in the house. Moreover, they never have a problem of financial shortcomings Bah. They just need affection, but, Marini likes to be rough with them, so they do not feel at home continue to run away if the Papa does not exist.”
“Oh, so, at the very end of the matter of affection, like most polygamy messalah in general so!” Said Ima.
“Iya, the house was from Mas Anwar, as Usfi affection for Mas Anwar's son as well ... Hopefully Allah will reward you in return much better than that house, Ambush!”
“Iya, who knows you can home from Gani much nicer again!” sholeh.
“Abah ... I don't demand more from Bang Gani. There is a house Alhamdulillah no house is not a problem, we can contract, take KPR continue to nyicil from salary money, hard to be happy we bear equally.”
“Iya ... it's your decision, basically the task of parents is to deliver their children to be able to face challenges in life and be able to mature in living their future. Whatever you decide, it is not at all Abah and Ambuk's right to interfere. Our task of educating and delivering you is done, your stay is now to live, the responsibility Abah has left to Gani, in guiding you, and if you feel that the decision is good, then do it!”
After chatting with her parents Usfi continued looking for her husband. Apparently, two men who are now his family, were near the tilapia fish pond. They were sitting looking at the fish swimming while enjoying the food spread by Azam on the surface of the water.
Not only was it Gani, there making a video call with a woman who appeared on the phone screen talking to Azam full of tenderness. Uafi suspected that the woman was the ex-wife of her husband or the biological mother of Azam.
Usfi walked up to them from a direction not caught by the camera, of course his sudden appearance, made Gani surprised and misbehaved. He smiled at his wife.
Before long, he finished the video call after saying his greetings and praying kindness to the woman who looked pale on the phone screen. Azam is seen waving at his mother without smiling, then, back playing the wood in the pool water.
“So, we both met the ex, do you want revenge on me, Bang?” ask Usfi after Gani keeps the phone in her pants pocket.
“What are you talking about? Nothing makes us have to take revenge!”
“There, for example because yesterday I also met the ex!”
Usfi silent.
“Actually, Asthma often calls her son every week once or twice, it's up to her. I never started first!”
“Oh! Continues?”
“I just told you, there's no harm, right? We have become a family, both me and you both have a past, even we will live together, if we do not start with each other honestly. Do you mind? If you really mind I'll change the number, or I'll forbid him to call his son!”
Usfi was silent again thinking, that he could not possibly forbid the custom of his husband and son, which was already there before they were together.
Gani wants to invite Usfi, to talk realistically with what he sees and, not put forward his feelings. He is well aware that, a woman will continue to be in a bend and, the man with her should be able to walk and keep positioning himself in that bend, without compromising their respective natures, in the life of the household.
Moreover, his experience of parting in a previous marriage, taught that no matter how hard he straightened, it would be difficult except to walk in his crookedness.
The woman and her spirit, termed as crooked, will still be so. Therefore, a woman needs a man as a leader so that when walking in a bend she is not misguided and does not lose light.
“Asma was on the phone, she wanted to see Azam because she wanted to meet, if I could I had to go there, because she was sick.”
“Oh. Continue to go there no Bang?”
“No idea, I didn't promise anything, now I'm married again so can't make my own decisions, all I have to say to you, Fi!”
Usfi was pleased that Gani valued her position as a wife, who was asked for approval before she made a decision. Is not the wife not just a companion but, she is a partner and also a lover, so, it is natural that a woman who is legitimately standing on the side of a man should be appreciated.
“If Bang Gani does want to bring Azzam together with his mother, yes .. let's go as soon as possible there, before we go back to Kalimantan!”
“So, can I go there?”
“Boleh, I'll take my car later we change the car, how?”
“Really, aren't you tired?”
“Then yesterday we went to town how many hours did I bring my own car bang? Especially if we can replace it!”
“Yes already, we go tomorrow only!”
“Yes, it's up to you! May we all be healthy and strong to get there!”
“Aamiin.”
Gani was so happy because Usfi was so supportive of what he wanted to do.
