Mariah by Che Husna Azhari

Mariah is widower who sells her 'Nasi Berlauk' at her stall in order to survive herself and being admired. This Che Husna Azhari artwork is about polygamy issue within Pak Imam, which i can consider him as a big character besides Mariah. Pak Imam already have a wife, Cik Yam, who is a loyal wife and being the icon of other woman with full package in her own. After Pak Imam had discussed with her about his intention to have another marriage with Mariah, Cik Yam felt upset and do not agree on the time. But because she loves his husband so much, he agreed to let Pak Imam to get married. What a loyal wife Cik Yam is. As for Pak Imam, even though he is known as Imam and respected by the whole villagers, but he is still just an ordinary person that cannot being separate by other human being by behave like he is (want to get married with Mariah although he already have Cik Yam as his wife). But, what i respect Pak imam is about his responsibility towards Cik Yam. He do mentioned that although he got married to Mariah, but he will never neglected Cik Yam at all. This is because, both of them already get through both of their life well and share all the hardship occured within them. This should be example for those who have intention to get married more than one, to be loyal and fair when it talk about polygamy because it is a serious issue of life.
