Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Misattention

"Mother!" The sound distracted everyone's attention.

"Ruby!" Ain quickly approached. He and Ikram stood side by side waiting for Ruby to open her eyes. Nadia quickly pressed the call button near the head of the bed.

He stood on the other side of the bed with Bilal and Nafisah who did not want to be far from him. Nadia smiled as Ruby's eyelids twitched to open.

Nadia pulls Bilal and Nafisah when a team of doctors comes to check her condition. He waited anxiously and prayed that there would be nothing wrong with Ruby. A series of examinations are carried out by a doctor to ensure the state of Ruby.

"Alhamdulillah, the situation is very good. Just waiting for his recovery time. I recommend staying in this Hospital until his condition is completely recovered" said the doctor.

"Thank God, but ...." Ain hung up his sentence. He bit his lower lip feeling anxious about the cost that must have swelled.

"How good it is, Doctor. I don't mind. Do your best to heal my son," said Nadia without hesitation to accept the advice of the doctor.

Ain resigned even though he did not like it, but it's okay. All for Ruby. Ikram waited for Ruby to open her eyes. The boy still wants to be closed, hasn't opened his petals yet.

"Mother!" Ruby muttered softly as her ears faintly heard Nadia's voice talking to the doctor.

Hearing the call, Nadia brought Ruby's two younger siblings closer to her bed. Ain snorted in annoyance. Why is Nadia called Ruby when she just realized from her coma? Why isn't she the one who's obviously her mother. Ain was disappointed, sad and angry at no one. It might be Nadia.

"Yes, honey. Mother here, try to open your eyes. Mother here," said Nadia while gently grasping Ruby's hand that felt warm.

"Mother!" Ruby ensure.

"Ruby! Honey!" Nadia's voice and tears were so touching. Ikram and Mother were also Harith's uncles who watched, feeling moved by the sight before their eyes. Nadia really loves that kid. Except for Ain, who was getting annoyed at feeling knocked out of Ruby's heart.

Slowly and quivering, Ruby's eyelids began to open. The opaque he found when a beam of light hit his cornea. He closed his eyes, opening gradually to match the blinding bias of light.

In his faint vision, he saw the smile of the woman he so longed for.

"Ruby?" call Nadia softly. Next to her hand rubbed Ruby's hair and kissed her forehead.

"Mother!" ruby's voice called out to Nadia. He cried when he realized what was in front of him was something real and not a dream.

"I'm not dreaming, this is Mother. This is truly Mother" Ruby said again with a trembling weak tone.

Uncle Harith was not able to hold back the day that the two men showed. He rubbed the corner of his eyes and returned indifferent. Distract the phone screen in hand. Mom even went out of the room couldn't stand the atmosphere inside. Ikram did not escape the tears haru who also fell inundated the cheeks. Only Ain was probably the one whose heart was untouched.

He was too envious of Nadia who got more attention than his eldest daughter.

"No, hon. Mother is here, Mother is here." Nadia kissed Ruby on the forehead again, convincing the boy that she was real.

"Thank you, it's coming. Bilal and Nafisah must be happy to have Mommy here," he said despite being weak and raucous, but there was a happy tone heard from his sentence.

Ikram was touched to hear their conversation. She realizes that Nadia has unlimited affection for her children. Not just for them, but also the unfortunate children in the foundation.

Uncle Harits came to bring a chair for Nadia. He rubbed the girl's hair and asked her to sit down. According to Nadia, he sat guarded by uncle Harith who was standing behind his body.

The newness that Ikram felt a moment ago, now changed with a feeling of heat that burned all the joints in his body. Ain was no less heated when Nafisah who suddenly sat on Nadia's lap and conversed with Ruby. There was also Bilal standing near them.

Ikram and Ain felt that they were not considered parents. Ain growled, again Nadia who got their attention.

"Mother, I am thirsty" Ruby said after a while listening to Bilal and Nafisah.

Nadia who was about to take water, brushed aside Ain quickly. He takes Ruby a drink and helps her drink.

"Darling, are you hungry too? What do you want to eat?" tawar Nadia who was not offended at all by Ain's attitude.

"Don't junk food! It's not good. Others only," Nadia quickly cut Ruby's speech. He knew the boy would ask him to buy the food.

Ruby smiled, asking Nadia to buy him some porridge.

"Ready! Let this handsome guy buy it!" sahut uncle Harits spryly when Nadia glanced at him.

"What about you guys? You two want me to buy it?" uncle Harith asked Bilal and Nafisah.

Both of them nodded and said their orders. Uncle Harith glanced at Ikram and Ain who looked at him disliked. He only replied to her with an annoying slanted smile.

Uncle Harith walked away, pursued by Bilal who wanted to go with him. He did not hesitate to embrace the child's shoulder and invite him to talk while walking. Things I never did before have been done for a long time.

Jealousy, of course. Ain also increasingly felt that he was not considered to be his presence. Why is the situation reversed. Nadia and Harith's uncle were as if they were their parents and they were only considered as guests. This cannot be allowed, but to argue at this time is very inappropriate. Ruby is still weak, she just woke up after surgery.

"Ruby, how are you feeling, son?" asked Ain to come closer to his eldest daughter. Ruby smiled, she blinked her eyes slowly.

"Better, Umi. Thank you," she replied weakly. Ain stroked Ruby's arm gently.

"Light night, Umi's waiting for you to wake up, baby. Umi is glad to finally see your smile today. Quickly recover so that we can re-assemble at home," continued Ain again with a tone made sad.

He wanted to draw Ruby's sympathy so that his son realized that uminya who for several days accompanied him at the Hospital. He's there, don't forget. While Nadia, just came and immediately took attention. Who is he?

"Thank you, Umi. If not Umi who will wait for me? It can't be that snake aunt, can it?" Ruby spoke to Ain's heart.

True he said, if not him who else would be waiting for him. Ikram understood, but he just kept quiet. While Ain could not say the words of his son.
