Istikharah
One Roof

Finally Arini's decision to care for Becca and Jasmine was approved by Leon. Although at first there was a debate between Leon and Arini. It's nothing, Leon just doesn't want things to happen that aren't desirable. Two wives living under one roof is not a good decision according to Leon. But as Arini continued to whine, Leon finally collapsed.

At the moment in the house there are only Arini, Becca and Jasmine. Leon is at work and Retno is shopping at the market.

Jasmine's crying voice made the ironing Arini stop her activities. In a hurry he ran to Becca's room.

Arriving there, he saw Becca who was sitting in a wheelchair while dumbly staring at the wall. "What's up, Bec?" arini asked as she hurriedly carried Jasmine who was still crying. He then approached Becca with Jasmine in her arms. Luckily Jasmine's cry instantly subsided as soon as it was carried by Arini.

"My hands are cramping, Ma'am. Can't be moved." Becca looked down at both of her hands.

"Yes Allah. It's been like this before, Bec?" ask Arini worriedly. He was afraid that Becca's wounds would get worse and not heal. Poor Jasmine.

Becca shakes. "It's the first time, ma'am," Becca replied. Then he moved both of his hands. And thankfully the cramp soon disappeared. "It's normal, Mother." Becca said with a smile.

"Thank God. You're going down again, aren't you? There's still work. If there's anything call Mbak aja," said Arini and embraced by Becca.

Arini continued her activities. Meanwhile, Jasmine he put it not far from her. The toddler laughed happily while playing plastic fruits.

Seeing Jasmine laughing cheerfully made Arini happy. For Arini, Jasmine is her mood booster. Do'a who never forget Arini promised to God is, may he be given a baby soon. That's always what Arini asked God for. Seeing people have a baby, it is not uncommon to make Arini's heart sliced.

Meanwhile, Becca's room. He was thinking about his fate. He wants to get well soon. He was tired of being sick like this.

"Diana!" Becca growled with hateful views. He regretted ever considering Diana as a friend. I don't know what possessed Diana until she could make Becca like this.

Becca regrets everything that happened. Even he regretted having included Leon in his life. He should have rejected Leon from the beginning. From the beginning he should have known what the end of polygamous marriage would be like.

"Mama... Becca kangen." Becca takes a frame containing a photo of herself and her mother. The photo was taken during Becca's graduation.

The sound of the phone ringing made Becca sober. He wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and then took a cell phone not far from him.

"Hello." Leon's voice was heard from across the street.

"Hello, Mum. What's up?" ask Becca. "Where are you? Noisy."

"What, Honey? What are you talking about?" Leon asked in a rather loud voice because he was in the crowd, so he could not hear Becca's voice clearly. He only heard Becca's voice faintly.

Becca disconnects the phone unilaterally. She sent a message to her husband.

Becca

What's up, Mas?

Where are you at? Noisy. Just chat.

Leon

I'm on the road, Honey. There will be a meeting with the client.

Becca stroked her chest. Do not let your heart burn because of the heat. Leon is outrageous. Can't she just ask Becca? Why should Arini? Again, Arini. Arini keeps Arini on.

Leon was never so sensitive. That annoying man could least appreciate the feelings of his wives. He should have asked Becca first, then asked Arini. If it's like this, Becca can be upset.

Outraged, Becca immediately makes her phone into airplane mode, so Leon can't reach her. Instead of his heartache, he better make his phone in airplane mode.

Becca breathed out violently. In his heart he cursed Leon. She swore her husband in her heart.

May you be impotent! May your skin be wrinkled! So that you can't be arbitrary towards women. Maki Becca at heart.

"Bec, let's have lunch first," Arini asked.

Arini was about to push her wheelchair, but Becca quickly said, "First, Ma'am. I'm still full." Becca's tone of voice was very sniffy, because she was still upset with Leon about the chat this morning.

Arini looked down awkwardly. He didn't expect to get this kind of treatment from Becca. But as much as possible he did not take heart.

"Yes already. Mommy first, huh? If you want to eat, go straight to the back" said Arini and answered nothing by Becca.

Finally inevitably Arini left Becca just like that and had lunch alone. Becca is currently sitting in front of the television while playing a game on her phone.

Arini eats alone with the company of loneliness. Retno had eaten first and was now putting Jasmine to sleep. Yeah, well, I don't want him to have to eat alone. If you know this, then he will eat with Retno only.

"Well, Miss Becca didn't come to eat, Mom?" Suddenly Retno appears and surprises Arini.

"Dude, Bude! Bude almost made me hang, you know. Becca was still full, she said. Jasmine's asleep?" ask Arini because he only saw Retno alone.

"Sorry, Mom. I didn't accidentally," Retno said as she scratched her non-itchy head. "Already, Mom. It's fast sleeping. Maybe because of the fatigue of playing."

"Yes, Bude. Jasmine continued to play. Oh yeah, Bude doesn't want to eat anymore? Accompany me, dong!" Arini looked at Retno who was standing in the sink while washing her hands.

"It's full, Mom. I'm gonna make some tea for Bu Becca. Now it's time to take some medicine, "tell Retno and be taken slowly by Arini.

Becca's gonna take the medicine but she hasn't eaten yet? I just ate the wafer.

"Becca hasn't eaten, Bude. Bring food, too, yes!" said Arini. He doesn't want to happen to things that are not desirable to Becca.

"Good, Mom."

With sprightly, Retno immediately made hot tea and prepared lunch for Becca. Retno never thought, what's with Becca? He often storied like a child. Especially now that there is an Arini. Or maybe Becca's mad at Arini? If yes, what is it?

Retno shook her head slowly. He tried to erase the bad thoughts in his head. This is a house assistant. His job is to cook and clean the house. Not to take care of the employer's personal affairs.
