Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Home ....

The silence felt by everyone in the car was broken by Ruby's heart-wrenching cry. The sound of sobbing makes Uncle Harits' tongue repeatedly clucked. Upset and puffed up.

"What are you crying for? Isn't this what you want?" uncle Harits' circus sounded unfamiliar. The man driving the car was no longer friendly to him. Ruby was completely lost in the dark valley of regret that enveloped her heart.

"It's not like this I want ... no!" shaky. He covered his face with both hands, his head shaking slowly. His heart and mind rejected all this.

Uncle Harits snorted, already disappointed in the three children brought Nadia. Do they not remember who accompanied them every day when Ain, his mother was busy taking care of themselves?

Like a tiger cub who complies with the mother cat in his childhood, but he will prey when grown and wild.

"Not ...?" repeat uncle Harith with a belittling laugh that he deliberately listened to, "if not? Then, what do you want? Do you want Nadia to come back to hell to continue accompanying you and your two sisters? Hmm ... Don't expect! Even if she pleads, I won't let her stay with you anymore."

Uncle Harits glanced at Ruby who was constantly shaking her head. His teeth were tight clashing until there was a clear rumbling sound. Ruby's cry became more and more, regret grew in her heart. His desire is only a desire that will never be realized.

Cars are speeding up faster when the road starts to go quiet. Do not want to feel linger in the same room with them. This time, it feels longer. Maybe because he wasn't the one accompanying.

"You need to know, Nadia not only broke ties with you, but with the city as well. The house he was in, he gave it to his caretaker. The factory? Nadia sold it, she doesn't want any more contact with you. Forget Nadia! Never hope you will meet again. That's my advice," said Uncle Harits, who shocked Ruby.

The teenager's eyeballs widened in disbelief, it felt like it would slip out of place. Even Bilal who pretended to be asleep also stiffened hearing what Uncle Harith said.

"No way!" Ruby kneads.

"I don't want to go home! I want to stay with Mother. Turn around, Brother! I don't want to go home!" yelling Bilal while trying to open the car door. Honey, that fancy car can't be opened easily.

Uncle Harits doesn't want to hear. He continued to advance forward, the city border will soon be passed.

"Sister! Take us back! We want to stay a while longer with Mother! Please!" Ruby. He cupped his hands together in his chest, begging his uncle Harith to bring him back.

"What's the difference now and then? You will both be separated. I'm sorry, but I'm disappointed in you guys. Especially you, Ruby. You should be able to think more carefully before taking a stand. Nadia will definitely take you back home, but this is not the way. It's not her wish either, but the circumstances that forced her to do this-"

"Are you not aware, your attitude of ignoring Nadia for a few days just because your parents got into that bui, actually made her like a criminal. For that, he made this decision."

Ruby's cry grew louder and louder. He was wrong, had misjudged and misjudged.

"Nadia brought you all in, it's because she didn't want you to see them taken by the police as criminals. He doesn't want you to know that your parents are in jail. After all, Nadia just wants to teach them a lesson and plans to bring you together in a better state. However, all his plans failed just because of your selfishness," said uncle Harits again making Ruby's chest tight.

"Follow your crying, and wipe away your tears! We'll be there soon. I don't want to be accused of hurting little kids and accused of doing indecent things to you."

Uncle Harits turned the wheel, turned right. The alley to the Al-Masthur boarding school looked gloomy and silent. The feeling of tightness is increasingly felt Ruby when the large gate of pesantren has been seen in front of her eyes.

He rubbed his tears, also calming the still dazed Nafisah. Bilal, he was no longer crying. His gaze was empty, his body and heart were far apart. Her body had indeed returned to her home, but her heart remained with Nadia in that new home.

Ikram and Ain sat pensively on the porch of their house. The cottage went as usual. Ikram has rectified all problems, justified and regretted all by confessing his deeds before all santri and ustadz.

Both of them looked up when the sound of the car roared their dim senses. From the gate that was always open it appeared one luxury car and stopped in their yard.

All the residents of the boarding school memorized the luxury car who had just been scattered in the yard of the house Ikram. Ikram and Ain frowned, inwardly wondering what the proud man was coming to his house. Kasak-kusuk also enlivened the arrival of uncle Harith to the cottage.

The door opened, and the figure they were waiting for finally appeared. With his haughty attitude, he walked in front of the car. Lean with both hands folded on the stomach. His smile always looks annoying in the eyes of Ikram. Reminds him of Nadia.

"What other business did you come here for?" tanya Ikram does not like. Uncle Harith chuckled, he did not reply. Shrugging his shoulders indifferently.

The car door opened again, one by one their children came down with a cloudy cloud that adorned the faces of the three. Ain and Ikram smiled broadly at the sight of their three children coming home.

"Ruby's? Bilal! A breath? You guys home, honey?" Ain's tears fell. He stepped slowly while opening both of his hands. The longing that accumulates, finally treated also today.

"Umi's children!" said lirih.

Nafisah who stood in the middle of her two brothers, looked up at the two people who flanked her. Ruby and Bilal's eyes were empty, neither of them looked happy. Like a child returning to his mother's lap.

What an unexpected reaction, Bilal melengos left Ain who had not been able to reach his body. He did not look back, continuing to take his foot to Nadia's house.

"Bill?" lirih Ain with tears that kept flowing into the river.

"Bill!" The clutch holding Bilal's wrist made him stop the move.

"Let go of my hand!" He jerked his hand until Ikram's check came off. Uncle Harits smiled sarcastically.
