She (Unconsidered Wife)
Refusing Another Love to Maintain One Love

Aisyah is now standing on the side of the road while wailing in search of a passing taxi. But the activity stopped when a car stopped in front of him. Aisha scrunched her forehead in wonder. The car in front of him is neither Arshad nor Anam. Then who?

Before long Aisyah was puzzled by it, a man who got down from the car made Aisyah smile.

"Sister Rizky it turns out? Who do I think I am?"mumbles Aisyah.

Rizky approached with a sweet smile, "assalamu'alaikum, Ayesha."

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. What's Rizky doing here?"

Rizky thrusting an envelope at Aisyah made Aisyah so pensive for a moment,"missing that time." said Rizky.

Aisyah smiled taking the envelope, "why not throw it away?"

Rizky just shakes her shoulders.

"Where are you going? Did you finish college?"tanya Rizky switched the conversation.

"Udah done. I'm going home, I'm waiting for a cab."

"I'll take it, okay? Wanna?"

"No need to take nicotine, brother?"asked Aisha hesitatingly.

Rizky nodded, "ngerepotin anyway. But it's okay if it's you."gombal Rizky made Aisyah shake her head with Rizky's behavior. His former older brother is a famous playboy. So it is common for him to hear strange waves thrown by Rizky.

"Today, how many girls have you gombalin?"

Rizky tapped her chin as if thinking, "10 like that. Eleven including you."kidna Rizky. Makes both of them chuckle.

"Remember! We are married to this."balas Aisyah.

"Unfortunately it is. Nowadays it is not good to be a player. If she likes it, if not? Eat my own heart." chuckles Rizky again.

"So, is the offer still valid?"ask Aisyah.

"What offer was it? Retrieved from her husband?"

Aisyah clucked, "ck, it's the cane."

"Ohhh kirain. Come on cus!"Rizky opened the car door for Aisyah and without waiting for long, Aisyah walked in and thanked him.

After that they left the place without realizing that there was Arshad who saw everything in the distance from inside his car. Arshad gripped the steering forcefully to hold back the already almost overflowing emotions.

Though at first he wanted to pick Aisyah up to campus and go home together. But what he saw Aisyah instead picked up Rizky. What exactly is their relationship? Thinking of the bad things that might happen made Arshad really scared.

When Aisyah reached home, Aisyah saw Anam sitting in the living room while enjoying the show on tv.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Aisyah.

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

"Have you finished fitting his clothes, brother?"tanya Aisyah approached Anam.

"Udah from earlier. Keep stopping a long time at the ummi house, just come here. This is new nyampe."answered Anam.

"Where is Khadijah?"

"In the kitchen, again make a drink." Anam replied with eyes focused on the show she was watching.

"Means from earlier, brother Anam same brother Khadija both dong at home?"ask Aisyah full of search.

Anam snorted, "was going home because it wasn't good not married but alone. Keep going, your housekeeper comes and tells me to come in. So be safe, just calm down!"anam explained.

"Ohhh bi Nah has come home? Thank goodness that's it."

"Where's the crash?"

"To his son's place, he said his son was sick again."

Anam ber-oh ria, "pantesan kemaaren do not see."

"Then I go upstairs first."

Anam nodded at Aisyah who was now walking upstairs. Shortly after that Arshad also entered the house with a flat face.

"Assalamu'alaikum."he said.

Arshad sat down on the sofa beside Anam and leaned on his back with his eyes closed, "safe, bang."

"Why lo? Stack job?"

Arshad opened his eyes and turned to look at Anam, "Lumayanlah. When do you start work, bang? The company that Abi's running has lo, right?"

"Not a cave company. It's Dad's."sela Anam.

"Same as you, bang. Now I have lo. When do you want to keep your dad's company?"

"After marriage maybe. If you still need help abi first to take care of the company."

"Yes, you're also busy doing this for your wedding."

"Eh, Arshad's really home too. This is my brother making tea for you and Anam mas." said Khadijah who came from the kitchen while carrying a tray that has 4 cups of tea there.

"Aisha hasn't come home yet?"ask Khadijah to Anam.

"Udah, but he said he would go to the room first" Anam replied.

"Take me, will you?"asked Aisha who had walked towards them and sat down beside Khadijah.

"That's why you came. Brother wants to ask for your proposal." said Khadijah.

"What advice, brother?"

Khadijah pulled out his phone and showed various examples of invitations.

"This, which one do you think? Brother is confused."

"If I think so...."Aisyah and Khadijah were busy with the invitation plan. Anam just smiled looking at it and went back to watching. While Arshad continued to stare at Aisyah flatly. There were a lot of things that he wanted to ask and finish with Aisyah. But again he had to undo it for the same reason. Not wanting to ruin Aisyah's mood that looks good at the moment.

"This is good. Simple but elegant."sayak Aisyah and is a Khadijah.

"What about sister?"Aisyah thrust the screen of Khadijah's phone at Anam so Anam could see.

Anam smiled and nodded, "good, big brother likes."

"Good right, mas?"aisha asked Arshad. Arsyad only took a quick look and nodded.

"Tuh, this is it, brother. How's it?"Aisyah turned back to Khadijah.

"Okee agrees."

Once agreed, they are busy with their respective phones. Arshad sighed then looked at the three people who were busy with their activities.

Arshad also cleared his throat, "ekhem, what do you think of loyalty?"ask Arshad. I don't know what Arshad was thinking until suddenly the question was thrown.

Anam turned to look at Arshad and thought for a moment, "Loyalty is a real proof of someone's love. Want to surf whatever a relationship, will not be perfect if not accompanied by loyalty." replied Anam who is interested in Arshad's question.

Khadijah smiled as he became interested in the conversation.

"Fidelity in a relationship is like a test. It's not how long you've been with him that's the measure of loyalty. But how capable are you of keeping your heart when you can't even always be by his side. And the real test of loyalty is when a relationship deteriorates. It's about whether or not you survive" Khadija replied, making Anam smile. Of course Anam understood what Khadijah meant. Like they used to be separated by distance, time and place. Until this moment. Keeping the heart is not difficult, surviving without certainty is difficult. That is what Khadijah has been feeling all along. Persist.

"Our kayak, huh?''tanya Anam teases Khadijah and is only met with a smile by Khadijah.

Aisyah rolled her eyes carelessly looking at her husband and the two future husband and wife. Why should they talk about something like this?

"When what are you? What do you think loyalty is?"khadijah asked turned to Aisyah.

"Setia is the most important thing in love. He is limited." replied Aisyah.

"meaning?"ask Anam.

"Yes limited. Just enough for one person. Not to be divided. If divided, not faithful anymore his name. Faithful is a great price." replied Aisyah.

"If you are, Ar? Lo nanya, now the cave wants to hear your opinion." asked Anam.

Arshad looked at Aisyah who now looked curious about Arshad's opinion.

Without taking his eyes off Aisha, Arshad replied, "That loyalty is only a great man who has. And the great man is not he who has much love, but he who can resist the presence of another love in order to maintain one love."

Arshad hoped that Aisha would understand his point. His words just now were satire, or rather were a rebuke from Arshad to Aisha. He hoped that his thoughts all along, which continued to question the truth of Aisha's loyalty were wrong. Wrong, if he thinks that Aisyah is having an affair. Hopefully there is nothing between Aisyah and Rizky. Hopefully Aisha will completely reject the presence of others in order to maintain her relationship with Arshad. Refusing the presence of another love in order to maintain one love.

But for Aisha who heard the words of Arshad himself, she fell silent and thought hard to find the meaning of the words of Arshad. He's thinking about Laras now.

'Rejecting the presence of another love in order to maintain one love? What does Arshad mean is that he wants to keep his love with Mbak Laras? Is that what it means?' inner Aisyah.
