Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Unexpected Event

The days that Yuni passed, felt threatening and also gripping for his life. Ruby's threat is not a figment. Every day the boy's smile loomed in the eye, mocking and humbling himself as if a weak and unable human was fighting back.

"Bad! What do I do if it's like this? I won't live quietly as long as she's alive" muttered Yuni who was walking back and forth in her own room.

He bites his nails, fidgeting every day that he feels. Every time he saw Ruby walking closer, every threat he said the other day felt more real. He no longer knows what to do. Day by day fear always comes haunting. Should he be honest with Ikram about everything?

Nah!

Yuni shook her head as she imagined herself to be kicked from the house. Not just from that house, but from the life of Ikram at once.

"Damn! Why can't I think" he told himself. The life she lived comfortably all this time would end up in vain if Ruby revealed it right now.

The forty-day party he held, became a festive party even though it was just simple. Attended by the congregation, both men and women. Many of them are giving donations to the foundation because they see the situation of those who are really concerned.

Ikram house is filled with people who attended the simple party. Among them are some who are isolated. Bilal and Nafisah, they seem to be considered non-existent. Their whereabouts were not noticed, their absence was not asked.

Nafisah hugged Bilal's body, they sat in the hall of the foundation watching the guests who came and went. Bring a gift for the baby as well as his mother. There are also plenty of good food prepared for the guests.

Behind them, the foundation's children were watching. Sometimes people come to them and give them gifts. All of this makes them smile.

"Abi, I have a work call at the rabinza. I have to go today, Abi can take me for a minute?" pinta Ruby with the very on Ikram which at that time was resting from receiving guests.

"Can't, baby. Abi, right, there are a lot of guests. It's a shame that it was abandoned. Usually they give Abi an envelope, "Ain's sergeant who entered the house unexpectedly.

"It's okay, Mi. Just a moment, Abi immediately returned again," said Ikram.

"Can't, Bi. Let Umi tell the santri to drive you, yes," she refused Ain again as she left the house and returned with a man.

"Tuh, that's ustadz that's with you. Already, quickly leave later you are late," said Ain pointed to a young ustadz of Ruby's age. Alias was Ruby's classmate when she was in school.

Without saying much, Ruby greeted her parents and left with them.

"Would you like to work, Ruby?" ask when on the way. He glanced at Ruby from his motorcycle spy.

"Yes, I'll just work. Poor Abi's finances are not good, it's only a short while until I can raise money to enroll in college. You how? What's gonna hold in the cottage?" bright Ruby also saw the face of her friend from the motorcycle spy as well.

"Well .. that's it, I'm planning on going out the year after the service's completion. I also want to work while in college, a new experience. You know what, Ruby? Not only am I planning to leave the cottage, there are some senior ustadz who are planning to leave as well."

Ruby was surprised to hear that, she had not known the news before.

"Why? What's their reason?" ruby asked to know.

"I don't know either, but some say it's going to look for new experiences on the outside." Ruby understands. All of that must not be because they want to get out of the cottage, but because of the situation Abi and Umi who lately often heat up so that they no longer feel at home teaching at the cottage.

It's no secret in the neighborhood. The quarrels of Ain and Ikram were no longer foreign to their ears. Many are sorry, actually. Wanted to advise, but they were self-conscious of being no one in the region.

"Surely they are not comfortable living in the cottage because they often hear Abi and Umi quarrel," said Ruby sadly. His friend felt bad, he did not say. Keep quiet and don't talk much anymore.

The road from the hut to the city of Rangkasbitung needs to pass through a government-owned forestry road, which in the other part is a fairly deep ravine. Things start to feel different. The quiet streets, made the two people wary.

"Why is this street? Usually not," murmured Ruby who was paying attention to the surroundings. Completely deserted, only the two motorists far behind them were walking slowly.

Wait up!

"Umi comes to Mother's factory often?" re-take Ruby to make sure her ears don't hear wrong.

"Yes, but before the factory went bankrupt like it is now," she replied, making Ruby understand now.

"Revelation!" ruby screeches when a motorcycle grazes the motor they are driving.

"Astaghfiullah!" The man carrying Ruby managed to stop the motor before approaching the edge of the abyss.

He was about to run the bike back, but it was difficult. The engine motor does not start. Until ....

"WASNYSH!!!!"

A lost-control pick-up car drove at high speed. Ruby and her friend did not escape. Their motors were pushed into the abyss along with the pick up. Ruby floated before finally falling down landed quite hard on the ground filled with tree roots. He was unconscious with blood slowly seeping from part of his face.

While his friend, hit a large rock to cause his head to break and die on the spot. Their motor did not escape the accident. Along with the pick up that exploded like a bomb.

Booms!

Duars!

The accident killed three people. One pick-up driver caught fire because he did not get out of the car before it exploded. The other two, of course Ruby and her friend.

Luckily, one of the residents crossed the street and watched how the accident happened. He immediately contacted the police who in a short time immediately came to the scene of the incident.

They were with the SAR team looking for the victims inside the ravine. The police brought a motorcycle driven by Ruby as well as pick up that had been burned.

After inspecting the motorbike, the police finally found out who the owner was. The police came to the residence of Ikram who had just finished throwing a party.

"Good afternoon!" greet the two policemen who came to the place.

"Se-selamt afternoon, sir! What's the matter?" tanya Ikram. Remembering his sin he thought the police would arrest him for having to account for his actions that had rammed Nadia papah to death. However ....

"Is this really the home of the Ikram ustadz?"

"Really." The more heartbeat the Ikram.

"Are you the Ikram ustadz?" Ikram. Ain stood behind him no less worriedly.

"Do you recognize this motor?" The police showed a picture of a motorbike crumbling inside the ravine. Ikram saw and recognized him immediately.

"I-that's an ustadz bike here and he's driving my son, sir. What's up, sir?" Anxious started to hit, Ain approached wanting to know what was happening.

"This motorbike has been in an accident on a forest road, the victim has been taken to the Hospital and is currently in the morgue. You have to come to the hospital immediately to see it" said the police again.

"Ruby!" Ikram. Ain screamed.

"Ruby!"
