...************...

Upon arrival at the rented house, the tears that had been issued Aisyah never subsided. But it is getting bigger. The feelings of anger, pain, disappointment and hatred for her husband now increasingly enveloped the walls of Aisha's heart. As soon as Bayu's attention to Indar, he could ignore Aisha and Zahra who greeted him on the door lips. Even then Bayu had not had time to set his foot in front of Aisyah, Bayu immediately went to leave her without saying goodbye.

After wiping away the remaining teardrops and putting the sleeping Zahra in a sling onto the bed, Aisyah gurgas washed her swollen face from crying for too long. Aisyah looked at her reflection in front of the mirror.

“Mas Bayu, that's how your attention is on Indar. Until you willingly drive him home after work. But why if Aish asks, you always say that Aish is a spoiled woman, and an independent wife. Did you know, Mas, that Indar actually put his heart on you. The widow of the gatel tried to take you from me and Zahra, Mas,” muttered Aisyah. His hand squeezed the side of the skirt he was wearing so hard, he held back his anger.

...************...

During the trip to his house, Indar always close his seat on the car of Bayu. It was as if he was looking for comfort on the shoulder of Bayu's field. There are not many conversations created between the two, maybe because Bayu is tired after work. However, for Indar it was no problem. He was quite satisfied because Bayu preferred to drive him home instead of approaching Aisyah and her daughter who were in the doorway.

After a few minutes of travel, Bayu and Indar finally arrived in front of Indar's rented house.

“Bay, log in first, yuk!” bring Indar.

“Still, In, but this is almost magrib. I have to go home,” replied Bayu.

Hearing Bayu who kekeh want to go home, Indar can what. Finally, with a feeling of disappointment because his request had been rejected by Bayu, Indar also put on his sad face.

“Yeah, so go home. I want to tell you a lot, Bay. But since you want to go home, yes, that's it. Next time I'll tell you.” Indar put puppy eyes in front of Bayu, hoping Bayu will be melted with the look of his eyes that seemed to be loved. However, Indar's hope was only a false hope. Because it turns out Bayu still chose to go home.

“I'm sorry, In. Next time I'll stop by. Now I'm really tired and want to rest. After all, right now Aisyah and Zahra must be waiting for me,” Bayu replied with a tired look on her face.

“Ya already if so, you are careful on the road, yes,” pinta Indar that makes Bayu smile then nod his head then immediately go using his duck motor.

...************...

“Assalaamualaikum,” said Bayu when entering his parents' house.

“Waalaikumusalam,” reply everyone who is inside the house.

Seeing that there was no wife among them made Bayu curious. Because the habit in this house, if the Maghrib, all people in the house will gather in the family room. There would be no one in the room including Aisyah.

“Loh, Which Aish, Bu?” asked Bayu astonished because he did not see his wife and child.

“Aish was back shortly after you went to deliver Indar, Son,” Bright Ambar answer Bayu's question.

“Loh, really, don't wait for Bayu, anyway, Mom. At least Aisyah should permission first same Bayu.” Bayu started getting annoyed.

“Indeed your wife, Bay. There is no courtesy. Go home and go without permission from the husband. Try Indar, it is good, educated, not stingy, polite again if the same parents. It is different with Aisyah. It is calculated, if you give your father and mother clothes to buy in the market at a cheap price,” said Herman.

Although his eyes were focused on the television screen, but his mouth loudly joined in the chat Bayu and Ambar. Especially when it comes to Aisyah. The daughter-in-law who did not live up to her expectations.

“That's right, Mom?” ask Bayu to Ambar.

“Of course it's true, Mas. Masa Mas do not believe the same words of Mr.” Erina who was cool eating the legit layer that was brought by Indar also participated in saying.

 “Again if according to mother, Aish is the perfect wife. She's a smart, smart woman. Even if stay here, Aishlah who helps mom do all the work in this house.” Ambar spoke in a slightly raised voice. Ambar wanted the spoiled husband and daughter to hear all of his words. It made Herman and Erina immediately melengos dislike.

“Then Bayu comes home first, Mom,” said Bayu with a tinge of annoyance on his face.

“It's been wanted adzan Maghrib, son. Later after Maghrib prayer you just go home. Now you go in and bathe first" said Ambar to his son who was directly obeyed by Bayu.

Finally, after performing the Maghrib Bayu prayer, he went home to his parents and Erina who was busy enjoying dinner. Even Bayu refused the invitation to dinner together because he was impatient to meet his wife.

...**************...

Finished the magrib prayer, Aisyah sat speechless with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She can't wait to talk to her husband. He wanted to ask the firmness of Bayu so that he would no longer meet the widow of the gatel.

Not long Aisyah waited, it turned out that the one in waiting arrived. After opening the door and greeting her, Bayu looked at Aisyah's face with an annoyed and angry look. Aisyah who was also filled with frustration returned Bayu's gaze. Even without babibu again Bayu directly menyark Aisyah with various kinds of questions.

“Dek, why did you come home from my mother's house without my permission? Now you want to try to be a bad wife to your husband. For leaving without saying goodbye and without husband's permission!” Bayu spoke in a loud voice that made Aisyah jump in shock. However, quickly Aisyah covered her fear with anger.

“It should be wherever you go, you should ask permission first same as me. I'm your husband, Dek. I am entitled to you and I also have the right to manage your life,” said Bayu with a red and upset face. However, all of that was only reciprocated by Aisyah's cynical smile.

“Have you finished talking, Mas? Now let Aish do the talking. Just listen to what Aish says. Just like Aish listening to all the words from Mas.” Aisyah's words immediately made Bayu speechless. Because he never saw his wife going this hard.

“Mas ask me to make permission wherever I go. But Mas never permission where Mas will go? Did mas ever ask, was Aish disappointed or unwilling to attitude to the Bayu mas who was always familiar with the widow of the gatel. Aish is disappointed, Mas. Very disappointed,” Aish said with annoyance.

“Name Indar. Not the widow of a gatel,” replied Bayu, who did not accept if his wife vilified her best friend.

 “Bela keep Mas, bela! Bayu never defended Aish. Beu never attention with Aish. Mas always, always, and always ask Aish to be independent. But in fact, Mas Bayu always pampered the woman.  Now Aish asked Mas Bayu to be firm with the woman. Aish wants Mas to stay away from him. Aish doesn't like to see you guys too close. You guys are not muhrim, Mas. What do people say when they see a man with a wife walking alone with a widow.” Aisyah's screams filled the living room. He expressed all the frustration he had been feeling all along.

However, Bayu's answer really made Ayesha's heart and soul very sick, like an iron dagger.

“I'm sorry, Aish. You cannot comply with all your requests. Indar is my friend, he is here. Pity him. So please help you understand Aish. Because I'll never stay away from him."
