Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Night Snaps

"Bill! The breath! Home, Son! Already want Maghrib, not good still outside the house," call Ain from the doorway of his house.

The two children were still outside, in the hall of the foundation. Bilal accompanied Nafisah who did not want to leave the place. The little girl bowed down not daring to raise her face.

"Dec, Umi call. Come on, let's go home. Already want Maghrib soon sister Ruby must go home," asked Bilal while rubbing the head of Nafisah who continues to bow.

Nafisah shook her head, her hands pointed at the same spot.

"I'm afraid of him, brother. He kept looking at me and calling my name. The breath! The breath! I see, brother," he said still not want to lift his face.

Bilal frowned when he saw the direction Nafisah pointed to. There's nothing there. There really is nothing and anyone. However, his sister kept saying someone was standing there and watching them.

"Nothing, Deck. Maybe it's just your imagination because you want to meet Mommy. Already, we're in, yuk!" bilal said again seducing his sister.

The little girl's head shook her head again. He shifted his seat more and more attached to Bilal, his hands hugging the boy's body tightly.

"You know what, Deck? Umi and Abi always tell if you want to get ahead of the Maghrib there are guests at home. He annoys children and scares them. Umu Sibyan's name, remember not?" ask Bilal carefully.

Nafisah nodded, she raised her face looking at Bilal who was smiling at her.

"Maybe what Adek saw was one form of the genie whose name was Umu Sibyan. He likes to interrupt, we have to go home now. Brother does not want sister Brother who is beautiful to be bullied by such an ugly genie," he said again as he rubbed his hair gently Nafisah.

He stood up, pulling his sister's hand to go with him. Slowly Nafisah began to lift the body, he had dropped glances at the place where he saw the mysterious figure.

Nafisah turned to Bilal again as the boy pulled his hand. The two returned home, Ain still standing at the door waiting for his two children to come.

The roar of the motor stopped the small steps of the two. Bilal and Nafisah turned around, the sound of Ikram's motor. He came with Ruby.

The four men entered the house, embracing each other and holding hands. A warm and harmonious family that everyone craves.

Dinner was prepared by Ain with Ruby. They had gathered except the little Nafisah.

"Where's your sister?" asked Ain as he was about to land the buttocks in his chair.

"I see!" Ruby went to her sister's room.

"Umi, Abi, there is something strange about Nafisah" Bilal reported after Ruby disappeared behind the door of his room.

"Weird how?"

"She asked what it was like to die? What hurts? Nafisah also said there was someone standing near our room outside. He called the name of Nafisah. Why is my feeling so bad?" said Bilal while holding his chest that suddenly thumped.

Ain and Ikram throw each other a glance, there is bitter in the hearts of both of them after hearing the story of his son. Ain was sitting limp on the chair, he was holding his chest that was pounding incoherently.

Screaming followed Ruby to her room, she snarled inside when they heard the sound of both of them from inside.

"Sorry, why, baby? Why not eat?" ruby asked while rubbing her youngest sister's hair.

"I want to meet Mommy" he said. Ruby dyed her sister's hair, she also felt like she wanted to meet Nadia. Since they separated, he has not contacted the woman.

I was too embarrassed after everything that happened. He is reluctant, so he only holds back the longing until the time he plans to arrive.

"Patience, yes. Brother also wants to go to Mother's house. You know if Mother is pregnant? Soon will be the new sister of Mother. Mmm...male or female, yes?" Ruby tried to divert the conversation, she did not want her sister to continue to be moody because she thought about Nadia. Succeeds.

Crashing, he leaned his head against the wall. Remembering the marriage she had with Nadia for five years more, the woman was very longing for a child from him. Unfortunately, he never knew about Nadia's disease. Stupid indeed!

Nafisah returned to play as usual, but that night he looked more radiant. His smile seemed peaceful, more cheerful and spoiled. He wrestled spoiled in Ruby's lap while playing his favorite doll. Nadia Giving.

"Ruby, your phone, son!" Ain tells Ruby when his device lights up.

The girl lowered her breath, she took the device she had placed on the table. His forehead frowned, but his lips formed a smile. Just for a moment, he quickly regrouped.

"Who?" tanya Ikram was suspicious.

"Mother."

"Mother!"

"Why didn't Brother tell me it was from Mother!" Nafisah.

"It's not good, Mother is with her husband." Ruby.

"What's wrong?" Ain asked.

"Mother asks us to go to her house tonight, but I'm tired. So I said tomorrow. Yes, I did," he answered.

Ain just round his lips, while Ikram silent a thousand languages.

The night was getting late, the three went to the room to rest. Nafisah approached Ikram and Ain, he hugged the two alternately and even kissed both of their cheeks.

"Umi, Abi, Nafisah dear to you. Never fight again. Umi and Abi must promise Nafisah will always love forever. Nafisah dear Umi and Abi. Sorry if all this time Nafisah was always troublesome and naughty." He hugged them both back. It feels warmer than usual.

"Umi also dear Nafisah. What a pity, Umi's son was never troublesome. Never at all."

"Abi also loves the youngest daughter Abi, be a sholeh child." The two kissed each other on the right and left sides of Nafisah's face.

Nafisah took off her hug, she smiled. Walk towards his room while holding a beloved doll. Nafisah turned around, her hands waving at the two old men sitting on the chairs facing her room. His smile calmed the hearts of Ikram and Ain.

The little girl closed the door and was swallowed by the room. Ain was relieved, he dropped his head on Ikram's shoulder. In the heart of each other promised to keep the relationship as their youngest daughter wanted.

But something is wrong. Amidst the calmness of their hearts, there was uneasiness that came sneaking up and teasing his heart. Ikram pondered what he was doing all day.

Feeling that he found nothing, he invited Ain to sleep. Silent. The atmosphere of the night was different. The wind blows softly, but it is colder.

"Mother!" Nafisah. Ruby opened her eyes and saw a restless Nafisah in her sleep.

"Dad! Up, Deck! What was? What are you dreaming?" Ruby shook the tiny body, but Nafisah remained closed.

After a while, he calmed down again. Ruby made sure her sister was back asleep. He who is thirsty, goes out to take water. Ruby chose to lie on the sofa while watching television, her drowsiness suddenly disappeared.

Gradually, his eyes closed and fell asleep on the sofa. The night is getting gripping, the wind carries a warning to everyone to be alert even in sleep though.

Shouts for the sake of screams echoed, disturbing their sleep.

"FIRE!"

"FIRE!"

"FIRE!"
