Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Sincerity of Ain's Heart

The experienced word, men who decide to polygamy must be good at controlling situations, feelings, and time.

Nadia rubbed her stomach that rattled. He put the towel in place, and glanced at the kitchen. He had forgotten that he had not cooked anything today, but he was lucky to have brought rice wrappers from the factory.

Nadia smiled as she looked at the package. He thought Ikram would not return to his home, but would go back to his own home. Be he hurrying to bring the parcel towards the middle room. He turned on the television to accompany him to eat, at least he did not feel alone because there was the sound of the television.

Nadia opened the package and prepared to eat it. He read the prayer for a while, but stopped putting rice in his mouth.

Tok .. tok .. tok!

"Assalamu'alaikum!" The voice of Ikram was heard greeting. Nadia listened carefully. He jumped without wearing his hood, opening the door.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam!" he panicked as he stood behind the door.

"Why hump? What else is it?" tanya Ikram was confused to see Nadia smiling with her face reddened.

Nadia quickly closed the door after Ikram was inside. He was afraid that someone would see him not hijab. He shakes the Scramble.

"Again, Mas" he said, showing an open-top rice wrap on the floor.

"Wah .. happened to be hungry, too" said Ikram as he walked and sat near the rice.

"Mmm .. but I'm not cooking today, there's just that I brought from the factory. If Mas wants to wait, I cook first," said Nadia not tasty.

Ikram glanced at the rice wrap in front of him. Oreg tempeh, stir-fry beans and parchment mixed into one. Is that as simple as his second wife?

Ikram again dropped his eyes on Nadia who was still flinching near the door. He patted the empty spot beside him asking Nadia to sit there.

With the resignation of Nadia also obeyed him. Sitting side by side with Ikram facing the rice wrap ala raya.

"We ate this together, huh?" the door with a smile on the lips.

"But just a little, Mom. I'm not full, I eat. I was still full at the factory" said Nadia as she folded her lips.

The chuckles as the sound of worms in Nadia's stomach rang out quite loudly. Nadia turned to hide her embarrassed red face.

"We eat together" he said again with a smile. Nadia nodded shyly. They ate quietly without caring about the sound of the television still being heard.

Shoot each other and throw a smile. Happy even if only with potluck food. However, the activity stopped when the sound of knocking on the door was heard followed by the voice of Bilal who said greetings.

Nadia opened the door for him. Bilal's gaze was immediately fixed on Ikram.

"What's up, Bilal?" ask Ikram when he finds out his son must be looking for him.

"Then look for Umi, tuh. Told to go home" said Bilal flat. He gawked a little and found the Ikram that was dealing with packaged rice.

"Well again eat at Mother's house?" tanyakanya. Ikram. Bilal went into the house and sat down near Ikram. His smile grew as he looked at the rice in front of him.

"Bilal wants to eat here, too" he said. Nadia and Ikram looked at each other. A pack of rice divided by three. Ikram nodded and finally a pack of rice that they were greedy together.

"Bilal, remember our deal, yeah. Don't tell Umi that we have eaten at Mother's house," said Ikram on the way home from Nadia's house. Bilal nodded obediently.

Ain stood restlessly in the living room of his house. Walking back and forth waiting for Ikram and Bilal.

"Where is this going, anyway? What was followed was that no one was also missing not knowing where the nyungsepnya," grumbled as he bit his lips and played his hand.

"Wah .. fried sambal ati ampela, chicken soto, mping crackers. Which favor of God do you deny, Ikram!" chirp Ikram while taking a seat at the dining table.

He glanced at Bilal, the boy also sat down with a smile like his ashes.

Ain, who heard the curse of Ikram, smiled happily to be able to serve his family's favorite food.

"Come, eaten!" he said while taking the rice cream and side dishes.

Looking at the portion that Ain had taken, Ikram gulped his coarse saliva. His stomach was filled even a little, but if he refused he was afraid Ain would be offended. Be a Scream to accept it with a smile and say thank you as always.

Eat slowly while occasionally glancing at Bilal. Ruby who since their arrival felt something strange to Abi and her sister. He is suspicious and intends to ask Bilal later.

While Nadia, she smiles to see their food marks on the floor of her house. He rubbed his stomach that felt full even though he only ate a little.

"Alhamdulillah, what is this thing called blessing? A little, but filling," he murmured as he cleaned up the former meal.

Just like that, Nadia's heart was already happy. It's okay if Ikram does not stay overnight, he can eat together he already feels enough. Inner breath is not only about the game in bed. Giving happiness in a simple way is also an inner living. Nadia is so grateful for that.

After cleaning everything up, he slammed himself on the bed. Checking the email on his mobile phone the monthly financial statements of his convection factory.

"Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli haal. This is their sustenance. It turns out that every child is born with his own sustenance. And maybe the sustenance of the children God entrusts to me," said Nadia gratefully when she saw the nominal money reported by her treasurer.

Nadia kept her phone, she stretched her hands wide. Close your eyes and feel all the blessings God has given you for your life.

"The pain that I suffer is not worth the favor that God gives. Thank you, O God, for all the favors you have bestowed on this world" he murmured, breathing deeply and exhaling. Nadia fell asleep from exhaustion.

Back to the Pledge that was mingling with his small family. Ain, who had been watching her husband, suddenly felt guilty for letting Ikram not come to her honey.

"Bi, why isn't Abi staying at Nadia's house? It felt like it had been a month since Abi had not come to him. Is Abi not afraid of sin?" chirps Ain reminded Ikram of his duty.

The man turned his head with a smile, staying as warm as ever.

"Did Umi allow Abi to stay there? Actually tonight Abi plans to stay there, but Abi is afraid that Umi's mood still has not allowed Abi to leave," said Ikram honestly.

Ain sighed, he shook his head before chiming in, "It's Abi's duty as a husband to come to his wife. If Umi forbids Abi, Umi will sin because it indirectly prevents Abi from fulfilling Abi's obligations as husband. Go, Bi. Pay Abi's duty."

Ikram was filled with the sincerity of Ain who asked him to come to Nadia.

"Thank you, Umi."

So also Ikram stay at home young baby.

"Billal? Say the same brother, what did you do with Abi earlier? There's something you're hiding from Big Brother, isn't there?" reprimand Ruby as soon as she sees a chance to talk to Bilal.

"Group!" Bilal looked to the right and left, front and back afraid that anyone would see, "here!" he said as Ruby entered his room.

"I'm the same Abi ate at Mother's house" he whispered as they were already in the room.

"Why not tell my sister? Brother also wants to," growled Ruby while gently hitting his sister's arm.

"It hurts, it wasn't on purpose, brother. Bilal's been looking for Abi to tell Umi."

There was a debate between the two of them.
