Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Let go

"Ruby! Pack up all your stuff and your two sisters too!"

Uncle Harits voice that suddenly echoed jolted everyone in the room including Mother. The faces of confusion are clearly visible from everyone who is there.

"Master .. kicked us out?" Ruby is confused. His heart was immediately enveloped in a searing hatred.

Hah~

Uncle Harits let out a long sigh. He offers to take Ruby with him when Nadia intends to return the three children to her parents. He already did not want to be in contact with them anymore, his determination was rounded. He was even reluctant to meet the three and asked anyone to replace him. Just afraid of what he has decided he will pull back because of the sense of not being able to let them go.

"I didn't mean to throw you out. I just want to give you back to people who know you. That's all! It's not a form of expulsion or anything, but it's a matter of child and parent bonding. You still have parents, you're supposed to be living with them." He folded his hands on his stomach while leaning his body against a pillar.

Ruby tightens her teeth to hold back emotions. He thought the man standing arrogantly was mocking him.

"Is Master mocking us? Everyone knows that our parents you're in jail. Then, you sent us home so we could live without parents, right? Or to see for ourselves how they are in prison?" Ruby ride black for no reason.

He stood up and accused uncle Harith of no manners. The man was unmoved, he remained calm in the face of the teenager's unstable attitude in front of him.

"Have ... You better pack all your things quickly, your parents are waiting at home. In an hour, we'll be leaving. I waited and was not used to it. So hurry! Don't make me change my mind!" Uncle Harith turned around and sauntered away.

Leaving confusion behind Ruby and everyone who heard her words earlier. Did he hear wrong? Umi and Abinya waiting at home? That means they are not in jail.

"This is what you want, right? Because of Big Brother's selfishness, the criminal is free from his punishment. We should just accept it because Umi and Abi's mistake was indeed very fatal and deserved punishment, but Brother is too naive. Bui's punishment is not commensurate with the punishment they will receive from society."

Bilal stands behind Ruby, he disagrees with Ruby's selfish attitude. The thought is, every criminal should get his punishment.

Ruby turned around and looked at Bilal expressionlessly, her younger brother looking annoyed at her.

"Bill-"

"Congratulations, Brother! Brother already let criminals roam free outside. Even if they are our parents, they are like those in prison. Worth getting punished for all their deeds." Bilal melengos is gone. He no longer looked at Ruby and went into her room.

His hands clenched together, before dragging the suitcase out of the closet and taking it out.

"I'm ashamed to be part of that family. I want to stay here, but he's right. I still have parents there even though they ...."

"Bill! You can't talk like that! They're our parents, you have to remember that!" sarkas Ruby was not happy when she heard Bilal muttering in her room.

"I know and I remember. I don't forget they're my parents, either, but they're still"

"Bill!" Ruby's impact stopped Bilal's curse which could have been more cruel.

"you guys? Why not pack yet? Brother Harits is rusty waiting for you out there. Quickly pack it up otherwise I'll have him throw you guys overboard!" The high voice of Vinda stopped the debate between them.

Bilal approached Winda shortly after he finished tidying up all his belongings. He looked at Linda sadly. The good woman in front of him, now turned her face away from him. Reluctant to look at him. Does he hate them too much. I don't know.

"Aunty Winda, where's Mommy?" bilal asked with his wife. The woman snorted, still turning her face away from the figure of the little boy in front of her.

"Mak Nadia is sick, not feeling well," said Winda. Ruby glanced, her heart suddenly hesitating to leave the place. Is Nadia sick at the thought of herself who had been silent for a few days? Guilt began to creep in his heart until it filled the chest cavity and made him tight.

He lowered his head, clutching his own chest which was in sudden pain. Remembering Nadia's struggle to save him during the accident. Remembering the affection he had been receiving from her sincerely with no strings attached. All the memories with Nadia loomed in the eyes. Ruby felt guilty.

"Tante, can't I see Mommy?" pinta Bilal walked behind Winda who changed his attitude.

"Can't!" ketus rough.

"But, Aunt .. I want to meet Mother. At least for the last time." Bilal begged again. Ruby wished in her heart to be able to see and embrace Nadia.

"Can't!" The queen did not look at those who followed. Bilal looked at Nafisah who pulled his hand. The face of his youngest sister, wanted to meet the woman who had been pouring out her affection without hesitation.

"But, Aunt-"

"Enough! I said I can't, yes, I can't! You deaf? Or is it deliberately testing my patience?" snarled Winda turned around with a dead red face. His breath was hunting due to the violent outpouring of emotions.

The breaths bowed, they simultaneously stopped the steps.

"Can't Auntie not yell at them? They just want to meet Mother." Ruby defended not accepting Winda who raised the voice in front of her two younger siblings.

"Shut up! You're the same as your parents. Be given a heart, ask for a heart. Don't thank someone who has helped willingly, even stab him in the back." Winda turned back, he stepped quickly leaving them with his tears falling.

Vinda could not accept Ikram and Ain was free just like that. He did not want to forgive all those who had used Nadia for five years. They are criminals who really should be punished according to the crimes they have committed.

"Shearing! Aunt Willa can't accept all this. In fact, Aunt Winda is not who Mother is, but she is devastated by all this." Bilal rebukes Ruby, he pulls Nafisah's hand to walk first.

Ruby bowed. It's a responsibility, sorry it's free. Nadia has decided and will never change her decision again.

He wiped his tears and continued his steps languidly. Uncle Harits was already waiting beside his car, he had even opened the car door for the three of them.

"Hurry now! I have so much business!" ketusnah.

Nafisah took off Bilal's hand and ran into Harith's uncle's house. He went to Nadia's room and banged on her door. Bilal also wants to meet Nadia before leaving.

"Mother! Mother!" The voice of Bilal and Nafishah called out to Nadia.

"You're not leaving!" ask Uncle Harits to Ruby.
