Pesanan bijak orang tua-tua dulu selalu diceritakan dalam bentuk pantun berangkap;
Ikan siakap ikan senohong
Ikan gelama ikan duri
Kalau suka bercakap bohong
Lama lama jadi pencuri
Lama lama jadi pencuri
Itu pesanan orang dulu dulu. Mesejnya sangat sempoi tapi dalam maknanya. Tapi sekarang, zaman dah berubah. Kalau selalu tipu atau kelentong kat orang, kelak kelentong makan diri. Begitulah yang berlaku kepada sepasang kekasih yang akan bergelar suami isteri tak lama lagi. Akan tetapi ada scooter disebalik lori rupa-rupanya kisah mereka berdua ni. Bacalah di sini untuk berita lebih lanjut.
Frankly I'm not against polygamy as polygamy is allowed in Islam. Man can have four wives at any one time. I shall not elaborate further on that. I'll leave it to the muslim scholars to do the explanations.
When I read this news in Harian Metro yesterday, my first reaction was - padan muka! I know its a cruel thing to say. I should've said something proper like kesian ke or at least pay respect to the deceased but somehow the nicer words just won't come out as I read along more open up stories about the couple's relationship. In fact my heart goes out to his first wife and their children. Prior to her husband's fateful accident that day, she didn't have any clue whatsoever that her husband was actually preparing his impending marriage to another woman. Even if he did tell her about his intention do you think that he will get her permission? And even if he did get her permission (read: paksarela) do you think that the syariah court will allow it knowing that he has seven children to feed ranging from 18 years old to 2 years old with his meagre salary as a polis bantuan? It would be a different story altogether if he was some filthy rich datuk or hartawan who can afford to polygamize as many as he wants to. Go right ahead!
I was utterly pissed (off) when this couple had conspired with the second wife-to-be's family members to proceed with the wedding despite knowing the first wife's unawareness. So conniving! Ok maybe its fated that they had met and fell in love and planning to get married but please don't give the craps by saying, in order to jaga hati the first wife they will do it secretly. Sekarang apa sudah jadi? Satu Malaysia sudah tahu!
So to any probable cheaters out there - you might want to take this as a valuable lesson. It doesn't pay to cheat on your spouses and kelentong them some more. Zaman sekarang tuhan bayar cash tau!
