My husband never loved me

My husband never loved me
The answer to the riddle



Hanum's departure for good, leaving behind the deepest wounds of the Alira family. The woman was unceasingly crying over Hanum's body lying stiff in the ambulance.


Moreover, her real mother Hanum. He repeatedly fainted after hearing the news.


Hanif, as the closest person to Alira, took Hanum's body to his house. He's even in a car with Alira. Hanif could not bear to leave Alira alone, in the ambulance.


"You're patient, Ra. I know it's hard for you...." On the swipe the back of a woman who wears a pair of jeans and a pink shirt.


"Hanum.... Why did he have to leave?" My eyes the woman stared fixedly at Hanif's face. Seeking answers to his questions.


"Destiny, Ra. This is already destiny!!?!!" he said in a soft tone. "You must be strong, pity your mother!" he held Alira's hand tightly.


"I hate fate!!!! Hate!!!!!!!!!" the woman shouted hysterically, as if bearing such a heavy burden. Until he could no longer hold it.


The siren sound from the ambulance added to Akira's heart, his chest felt pierced by a sharp object when the voice deafened his ears.


The car carrying Hanum's body arrived at the Prayoga family residence, a yellow flag already flying in the corner of the house. The mourners began to arrive.


Hanum's body was removed from the hearse. Some mourners helped too. When the gurney was pushed inside, Ms. Meli shouted hysterically. Ms. Meli is Hanum's real mother.


Alira with a lunglai walking following the gurney, she was papah by Hanif. Because Alira also had fainted, while still in the car.


"Be careful" Hanif told Alira.


While Mrs Meli has been brought to the middle room. Hanum's body was placed on a long table, with a cloth covering his entire body. Some mourners were busy preparing for the bathing process and the mourning process. There were also mourners who deliberately wanted to see Hanum for the last time. A pale face, with cotton in his nostrils, signifies that the body is lifeless.


"Hanum, where's my son!!!" shouted Bu Meli who had just regained consciousness from her stupor. A housekeeper called Ms. Meli to see her daughter's face one last time.


Tears did not stop glistening, looking at Hanum's stiff body. Ms. Meli, can't take it anymore. And choose to sit on the floor that has been covered with carpet. Alira was the same, the woman was unceasingly shedding her tears. He still did not expect, that his sister-in-law would leave so soon.


The bath procession, the pardon was finished. Assisted by some of the mourners who were there. Now just buried his body. When Ustadz who was in charge of taking care of Hanum's body wanted to bury Hanum, it was prevented by Ms. Meli. There is still one member of his family who has not seen Hanum for the last time.


"Sorry, Mom! How long will we wait for Hanum's body to be buried?" ask Mr. Ustadz it to Alira and Ms. Meli. Because it's been almost an hour since they waited after the body was bathed.


"Wait a minute, Mr. Ustadz. Please, just a minute!" mama Meli replied.


"My advice, don't let the corpse wait too long. Poor, Mom!" ustadz's suggestion was followed by a nod by Ms. Meli.


"Ra, have you called your husband?" Then Ms. Meli asked her daughter-in-law.


"Already Mom!" alira replied, in a weak tone.


Their conversation was not heard by Hanif. Because the man chose to sit outside, after escorting Alira inside. He sat down with the other mourners.


Until a sedan stopped in the yard.


From inside the car was a man sitting in the back seat with a woman. Then they came down, with a hasty step, they entered the residence of Mr. Prayoga's house.


"Already, Mom! We better bury Hanif's body quickly" said the woman who was with the man. And the man nodded obediently, then they slightly moved away from Hanum's body.


Clearly visible on Alira's face, the woman was again seen when she saw the couple sitting nearby. "Why didn't you tell me, when Hanum Anfal?" asked the man staring sinisterly at Alira.


Alira could only cry seeing the man staring at her, several times she wiped her tears with the handkerchief she was carrying. Like there was something between them.


Now come, the funeral procession of Hanum's body. At TPU, in the area Hanum's body was buried.


Alira unceasingly let go of her sister-in-law. Because all this time, it was Hanum who gave him spirit. When her husband remarried to his secretary. And most sadly for almost a year, Alira was never given an inner living by her husband. Her husband never came home. And Hanumah who often comforted her, when her day was ruined by her husband's behavior.


Especially when Alira has a cyst disease, no one knows. Including husband. He often returned to Zahra Medica hospital for healing.


"You are calm, yes Dek! Brother will always pray for you" he said above Hanum's vortex.


Hanif who saw Alira was so hurt tried to approach her. "Ra, you are sincere. Inshaa Allah, heaven awaits Hanum," he said crouching, aligning himself with Alira.


Prayoga, who saw his wife's closeness to a man, stared intently at them. With a flushed face, Prayoga pulled Alira's body to his feet.


"Good yes, your behavior is in front of me!!!!" he snapped with a thunderous voice, lucky that the petakziah had already left that place.


Hanif who did not want Alira treated like that, then reprimanded Prayoga. "Hey, keep your attitude with him!" Prayoga stared cynically at him.


Slowly Hanif wanted to hold onto Alira's shoulder, but was quickly pushed by Prayoga. "Don't touch my wife."


Utterances. Prayoga was like lightning that struck Hanif's body. He was so shocked to hear that, his heart that slowly started to dry up from the past wounds. Now it has to be torn back. His tongue became a mute. Unable to say anything for defense.


"Wife?" he looked back at Alira's face.


"Yes, she's my wife!!!!!"


Instantly Hanif lowered his head, after Prayoga confirmed his words. However, his face suddenly looked towards the woman who was with Prayoga earlier. "Then who is he?" Then he asked about the woman he was pointing at.


"It's none of your business!!! And you, come with me home!!!!" prayoga told Hanif, then turned to Alira.


Prayoga immediately pulled Alira's hand to leave the place. Hanif tried to chase after her, with a teary face, Alira could only resign herself to following where her husband took her.


"Ra, please explain to me. Who is the woman with your husband? Ra?" Hanif tried to chase after her, but Alira could only keep quiet with her face looking at him. "Ra...stop Ra!!!!" he shouted, then Hanif stopped his steps.


While Alira had gotten into her husband's car, the three of them left the cemetery. And Hanif is still pecking with a sad face.


"What happened to your household, Ra?" The question crossed Hanif's mind. "Are you unhappy?"


Not long after that, Ms. Meli walked towards him. With a disappointed face, he said. "Alira was honeyed by Prayoga, because she could not give offspring to her husband." Instantly Hanif's face turned towards Bu Meli.
