Pursuing My Husband's First Love
Not the Ordinary Woman's Sincerity

Mba Lastri has been quick to prepare breakfast for her employer, for her taking care of a small house feels lighter and faster than taking care of a large house owned by Bu Aini all this time.

"Mas Musa, the breakfast is ready," said Mba Lastri while showing a few slices of bread, milk, and a cup of tea on the tray.

"Thank you, Mba." Moses took her to his room.

"Oh yes Mba, I'm really asking for help, sign Medina ya Mba."

"Every Mas, Mas Musa calm down, Mba Medina to be the responsibility of mba Lastri."

"If there's anything call me."

Moses entered with a tray of breakfast in his hand. He approached Medina who was still fast asleep.

"Sir, wake up .. We have breakfast first." Medina opened her eyes to the warm smile of Moses before her.

"Mas, sorry Medina fell asleep after morning prayers." Medina was surprised to see her husband was tidy and she had not prepared breakfast yet.

"Already, Deck. I've been prepared all greetings mba Lastri. You rest first don't go anywhere stay in your bed for a while. Let's feed the breakfast ...." Moses offered the sandwich to Medina.

Medina looked at him doubtfully, a few seconds later Medina covered her hands on her nose and mouth.

"Medina won't, Mom."

"Why, Deck?"

"Medina squealed, Mas Musa ate."

"Then drink the milk." Moses put the sandwich back in and replaced it with a glass of warm milk.

"Medina's nauseous, Mas!" turn down Medina and ask Moses to keep the food out of her sight.

"Huueeeeeek!"

"How's this, Dek? Why hasn't the nausea improved?" moses asked worriedly, and he gently stroked Medina's neck.

"Doctors say nausea usually goes away after the first trimester, Mas."

"But it was a long time ago, Deck. How can you eat? What about our child's nutrition? I can't wait to see you're rich."

"No papa, my mom." Medina smiled with attention from her husband, "It is nausea that makes Medina happy, nausea that makes Medina feel perfect, Medina will go through it with gratitude."

"Subhanalloh, our son is lucky to have a mother with a heart as noble as you are, Dek."

"Not Mas, Medina is lucky to have this much trust."

"Yes, I know. How you prayed all night with tears and hope that never broke on Him. Thanks Dek!" Moses kissed Medina.

"Mas, can Medina ask?"

"What, Deck?"

"Hem .. What between Mas Musa and Mba Mariam is there still a covenant?"

"A pact?"

"Has Mariam opened her heart? What agreement is still in place between you?" ask Medina.

"Sir, think of yourself, think of our son."

"But Mas, you are entitled to Mba Mariam, he will sin greatly if he refuses to serve the inner needs of Mas Musa continuously. Until when will Mas will succumb to all arrogant attitude Mba Mariam?"

"Sir, Mariam is so because-"

"Yes Medina knew, Mas Musa was very careful to treat Mba Mariam. But this was too long, Medina could not bear to see Mariam's treatment of Mas Musa as if she did not respect Mas Musa at all."

Moses smiled at the words that came out of his wife's lips.

"Don't because of Mas Musa's great love for Mba Mariam, Mas let him be arrogant and disrespect Mas Musa like that, Medina understands all the bitter events that have been experienced by Mba Mariam, Mba Mariam, but isn't it time to wake up and face reality? Medina prefers the old Mba Mariam."

"What's on your mind, Deck? Until you discuss Mariam like this?"

"There is no Mas, only it is time Mas also educate Mba Mariam and Mba Mariam respect Mas like a husband, Medina sad that Mas Musa is treated like a beggar of love so."

"Sir, what matters now is your health and pregnancy condition, don't think about anything else."

"But Mas-"

"Already Deck, don't think Mariam, Mas is still able to handle it. Go first. Assalamualaikum."

"Mba Medina, what would you like to eat Lastri cariin" said Mba Lastri.

"Medina wants oranges squeezed Mba, there is a sales kok in the front alley. Mba Lastri can ride a bike, right?"

"Can Mba, but the orange from Mother is still, Mba Lastri make it?" the Mba Lastri.

"No, Medina wants to buy."

"Oh, ready Mba, anything else? Mba Medina hasn't eaten anything yet."

"Ba-Eh Mba can not, because the vegetables are raw, abstinence for pregnant women to eat half-dry or raw."

"Well, Mba? Yes hodgepodge, Medina wants to spice up peanuts."

"Mba Lastri buyin first yeah."

"This is the money, Mba!" Medina offered a red note.

"No need Mba, Mas Musa already gave money to shop."

"really?"

"Mba go first."

Not long after, Mba Lastri came home with an order for Medina in her hand.

"This is Mba, hodgepodge of orange ice."

"Thank you Mba, I'm sorry so be told."

"The use here is to help Mba Medina, do not hesitate Mba."

Medina devoured the food in front of her without drama, Mba Lastri faithfully accompanied the daughter-in-law of her master.

"Alhamdulillah, good Mba."

"Mba can make it rich" said Mba Lastri.

"Medina again wants to buy Mba, tomorrow make anointing the same pecel only. Medina again wants vegetables."

"Ready, get it done."

"Mba Lastri can Medina ask her questions about Mba Mariam?"

"By Mba, but Mba Lastri was afraid of saying the wrong thing."

"No papa Mba, anyways Medina's question is not strange. Medina just wants Mba Mariam can love again with Mas Musa."

"Huh? Why Mba? Mba Medina isn't .. aren't you jealous?"

"Natural jealousy Mba, but from the beginning Medina has sincerely shared with Mba Mariam."

"Subhannalloh .. means the story of Bu Aini, his son-in-law has a noble heart, not all women can be rich Mba Medina like this."

"Don't overdo Mba Lastri, Medina is also just learning. There would be no Medina and Moses without Mba Mariam, and there would be no Mariam and Mizan without Medina. The three of us are related, need each other, complement each other."

"Subhannalloh .. but Mba, if mba Lastri anyway will not want to share a husband like that. Although you know how close Mba Mariam is to Mas Musa first."

"Mba, even if Mba Mariam does not appear in our lives, Mas Musa will still be chased by his guilt at Mba Mariam every night in his dreams. Free if Medina is selfish and wants Mas Musa to be Medina herself while Mas Musa is unhappy, Medina is also happy with such a household."

"Initially Medina thought Mas Musa only needed to finish his unfinished story with Mba Mariam. But Alloh willed another, fate made Mba Mariam lost her husband. Mas Musa was initially sincere with his story that ran aground because seeing Mba Mariam happy, her husband was very good. But seeing Mba Mariam depressed back then, Mas Musa was also sad, very sad."

"Medina cannot close Mba's eyes" concluded Medina with a smile looking at Mba Lastri who was fixated on her story.

"Mba Mariam once said that she died as a wife. I knew everything Medina experienced was not worth the trials of life that befell her. Medina loved Mba Mariam not only because she was the woman whom Mas Musa loved, but also because in her there was a wound that Medina would not be strong if she had to bear."

"Mba Lastri did not know what to say, sad .. it is fitting that Ms. Aini really loves Mba Medina. Mba Medina's heart is truly glorious. So far Mas Musa appreciates Mba Medina from the beginning and does not remember his past with Mba Mariam."

"Mba Lastri, Mas Musa was an ordinary man. Even the class of a prophet, can be slipped by feelings. That is because they are also ordinary humans Mba, let alone just a Mas Musa. Want to be as high as his knowledge, will be as strong as his character, if faced with affairs of feeling he could be weak."

Mba Lastri was silent without understanding what Medina was trying to convey.

"Mba Lastri ever heard the story of the Prophet Jonah being swallowed by a whale?"

"Get up, Mba."

"Allah punished the prophet Jonah for insisting on abandoning his people when his people had truly repented. In the belly of the whale the Prophet Jonah realized his mistake and he prayed, until finally the Prophet Jonah came out safely."

"Or Moses, who felt he was the smartest man. Until finally Allaah brought together the Prophet Moses with the Prophet Khidir, the intelligence that the Prophet Moses felt was nothing."

"Moreover Mas Musa my beloved husband, he is not a prophet and just a human being. I am also just a perfect human Medina much wrong and sinful, on what basis do I feel better than Mba Mariam or judge the feelings of Mas Musa?"

"Mba Medina, Mba Lastri was moved by the confidence in Mba Medina. Mba Lastri was embarrassed by the assumption mba on Mas Musa, sorry mba Lastri ya Mba Medina, science mba Lastri emang superficial."

"Already Mba Lastri, Medina is also still studying. Medina was also angry, disappointed, hated, sorry, but all back to Medina herself who still had many shortcomings but why expect the perfect Mas Musa? Mas Musa also had a deficiency in his heart, Medina happily complete the heart of Mas Musa even though it must be with Mba Mariam."

Mba Lastri wiped away her tears, finally she could understand her master's daughter-in-law.

"For this reason, I'm going to meet Mba Mariam."

"Why Mba?"

"There's something Medina should talk about."
