"No need! You don't have to waste your energy trying to explain it to them. It's all clear, now .. Let them be my business."
Nisa brushes off Zidan's hand, though not rude but quite surprising to Zidan.
"You?"
"No, Mom! I'm sorry if I have to fight back but I don't want my mom to misunderstand me for a long time. She's my mom, Mas. I have to pay attention to his feelings too!" deny Nisa.
"Well, does he want to understand your position in this house?" refute Zidan.
"Ak-I .. I ...." Nisa is nervous about not being able to answer, but she was so excited to be able to pursue her mother and explain everything.
"Mas Zidan is right, Nisa." Adel pushed the wheel of his chair towards Nisa and grabbed her hand.
"Bu Sekar is just shocked by the sudden big change in your life, so he behaves like that. Calm down, let Bu Sekar be alone and win himself first. After that ... only we meet him and talk," concluded Adel sage.
Zidan nodded proudly with Adel's intelligence and wisdom, not one bit in his heart doubted the truth of Adel's words.
So did Nisa, now she looks calmer and did not spread the bar before.
"Alright, Ma'am. Thank you for advising Nisa," she said slowly.
Adel nodded and guided Nisa and the others back inside the house, forgetting the riot that just happened and calming each other down.

At nightfall, Mr. Hanif and Ms. Hanif stayed at Adel's house that night. Accompanying his daughter who just came home from the hospital and of course cook Adel's favorite food.
"Same, Del. I've masakin mother SOP chicken use your favorite soun," said Bu Hanif while carrying a bowl of chicken SOP bear that still looks steaming.
The aroma went out to the entire dining room and made Adel who was already hungry become even more hungry.
"Duh, thank you very much, ma'am. Adel is very happy ... Adel wants to eat now, huh, ma'am?" pinta Adel.
Bu Hanif looked at his daughter with a smile on his lips. "Aren't you waiting for your husband?"
Adel throbbing. "Huh ... Mas Zidan took a shower, don't you wait a minute."
Ms. Hanif got up and walked over to Adel. "Wait a minute, I'll call Nisa first."
Adel nodded but his eyes still stared at the chicken soup on the table as if calling himself to eat quickly.
One minute
Two minutes
Until the fifth minute still no one came to the dining table, Adel increasingly restless because he was impatient to taste his favorite chicken soup.
"Bus ... Abi ..., Mr. .., Nisa ..., where are you guys?" adel called all his family members.
Silent
There is no reason at all, making Adel become afraid of himself.
"Bu ..," called Adel once more, but still there was no word of the slightest breath.
Adel rewinded his wheelchair slowly, but after a few inches to the back of his chair hit something.
Adel who had begun to fear closed his eyes because he did not dare to imagine what was behind him.
"Auzubillahiminassyaitonirojiim" great-grandson of Adel lirih.
His heart roared as he felt a hand about to land on his shoulder.
Brugh
"Abshell,"
Adel opened his eyes, turned his wheelchair and turned his back.
"Who? Abi?"
"Happy birthday!" exclaim Bu Hanif, Mr. Hanif and Nisa together.
Apparently since then they hid behind Adel, where there is a gap under the stairs of the second floor that is usually used to put a vacuum cleaner.
Adel closed his mouth in disbelief, he almost forgot that today was his birthday. Zidan stood up and grabbed Adel's hand and then kissed him.
"Happy birthday, my wife," he whispered and then kissed Adel solemnly.
Nisa who saw the scene felt her chest ache, so she chose to lower her head deeply so as not to witness how intimacy between her husband and her honeymooner.
"Snakes." Mom touches Nisa's arm, codes with a spotlight so that Nisa comes closer because it was Nisa who brought a birthday cake for Adel.
"Yes, Bude." Nisa convinces herself and walks straight towards Adel, although her heart still feels sore but she must come back to realize that Adel is more entitled to Zidan.
"Happy birthday, Ma'am. May it heal quickly and be able to live the day as usual again," Nisa's prayer is sincere while offering a cake with a beautiful candle on it.
Adel smiled with teary eyes, she stroked Nisa's arm before blowing out her candle.
Fuuhh
The candles are extinguished, with all of their harvests. Their gratitude was given to Adel's recovery, while Adel prayed in his heart that Nisa could get pregnant soon.
"Happy birthday, beautiful boy. You are always proud and dear to you, keep your spirit and never curse the destiny of God yes" said Mr. Hanif as he kissed his daughter's forehead.
"May, thank you sir" said Adel.
"Happy birthday, Nduk. I'm sorry I can't say anything, but may the Gusti of God will bestow happiness on you after all you've been through so hard, Nduk." Ms. Hanif also kissed Adel's forehead gently.
"Thank you, Mom." Adel said softly while peeping his mother's hand many times.
Nisa who witnessed all of that even to the point of not realizing that at this time her tears were flowing very rapidly, not because it was moved but because the moment reminded him of Bu Sekar and Alan who are currently out of nowhere.
"Yuk, yuk is sad. We eat first yuk," said Bu Hanif as he asked them all to sit down to enjoy the dish.
"Nisa .. let's eat here Nduk," asked Bu Hanif to Nisa, her voice was very soft making Nisa's heart more sliced.
Without a cue Nisa ended up running towards her own room, her tears even dripping onto the floor. Nisa's heart ached, when she had to feel sad because of a disagreement with her mother, Adel was happy to get a surprise from her family and husband who seemed so very loving to her.
Brakkk
Nisa closed the beautifully carved door of her room violently and leaned her back there.
"It is only one day .. and these tears have come repeatedly ..what is wrong with the servant of Allah? Why does it seem like I don't deserve to be happy? It was not the servant who asked to be the third person in Adel's marriage, but he himself asked. But now why is it like I'm being punished?" Isak Nisa was alone.
His heart hurts, no one cares about his feelings. Everyone goes .. They care more about the perfect Adel than he does. Adel's only shortcoming, only because he had no womb and the way for Nisa was there as the only advantage he could be proud of.

"Nis, Anissa? you why? Are you inside? Can I come in?" zidan's voice pierced through Nisa's eardrum.
