Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

The Taste of Nadia

In a room that was not that spacious, the three adults accompanied one child who was still lying with the remains of pain in his body. Nadia peeled off a mango she bought and fed her foster child.

"Mother!" whispered the boy while leaning his body on Nadia.

"What's up, baby?" Nadia brought her body closer.

"I don't like that woman, she's always talking about Mommy. Why is her dress like that anyway? Unlike Bunda or Umi," he glanced at Ain and Yuni who were talking.

Nadia also dropped a glint on them. Right, Ain is so familiar with Yuni. The two of them did not even hesitate to laugh while opening sheet after sheet of magazines in the room.

He smiled when he saw the boy again.

"Never be so bad to anyone else, baby. We just met him, we don't know what he's like. Don't do that, will you?" sahut Nadia while giving a soft sweep to her head.

The boy nodded obediently, he continued drawing it, occasionally eating the fruit that Nadia had fed on her mouth.

There was a giggling sound coming from the direction of the sofa. Nadia glanced at the two, I don't know what the two were laughing at. Nadia was indifferent to try not to care about the voice of the chat they both about fashion and self-care.

He shook his head, seeing from his appearance Nadia was able to guess what Yuni's life was like.

"Ain, I'm saying goodbye, yeah. There's business I need to finish" Yuni told Ain. He also said goodbye to Nadia who was sitting near her foster child's bed.

"You're sleeping, yeah. It's time to take a nap" Nadia said, helping the boy lie down on his bed.

He rubbed the child's forehead, reciting sholawat that he could as a lullaby. It didn't take long, the boy fell asleep. Ain smiled watching Nadia.

"Nad!" call Ain as kindly as usual.

"What's up, brother?" Nadia turned her head after enveloping her foster children.

"Oyes, Brother. How is the dorm building? Is it finished?" nadia asked remembering Ain's story yesterday.

Ain smiled still as warm as before.

"Alhamdulillah, already. Thank you, yes. Thanks to you the construction of the dormitory son finally finished and no longer need to worry about the building that almost collapsed," replied Ain who actually.

"Alhamdulillah then, I'm happy to hear it" said Nadia really from the heart.

"But, Nad. It's okay, right, if you still hold the card. You're afraid it's still necessary," Ain said again even though he did not feel good to Nadia.

However, his mad sister actually smiled and nodded.

"Yes, just hold the same Brother if you still need it, but you should leave a little because there are children who will enter college tomorrow year" said Nadia reminded.

"You take it easy, Brother knows, too." Ain smiled as well. I don't know what's in his heart, nobody knows.

Nadia busied herself with her cell phone. Opening his social media page reads any news that is hotly discussed.

"Nad, what if for example our husband asked for our permission to remarry?" ask Ain suddenly. He lowered his head while playing his fingers.

"Why? Are you afraid that Ikram will marry again?" ask Nadia back while reviewing her smile.

Ain frowned at hearing the question from Nadia. And look, that annoying smile really bothered Ain's mind.

"Didn't you feel hurt if Ikram asked for your permission to marry again?" attack Ain hoping Nadia's face will ripple and the smile disappears.

"For what to keep the pain in the heart, sister. It is possible that mas Ikram does need another to perfect his feelings. Wasn't the man allowed to marry three to four times as long as he was able to do justice to his wives? Maybe I have to introspect myself again to be better in the future," replied Nadia who again made Ain stunned.

"The heart will still hurt, brother. Lips can indeed smile to hide a heart that is actually slashed, but why keep the pain in the heart if it will only bring revenge that actually adds to sin. I better give up if I don't have the power to live it," Nadia said back with a smile that always managed to disturb Ain's mind.

Nadia decided the gaze from Ain who was still staring at her unblinkingly. He cleaned up the book and stationery that his foster children used to draw. He also tidied up the fruit that he had peeled.

While Ain looked at him carefully. Thousands of questions that required answers were lodged in his heart. I don't know who will answer all these questions.

An agitated Ain decided to go home and would calm his heart at home. He wanted to talk to the people about their clothing store.

The nurse came to check on her, Nadia put the boy on her. He had to buy lunch for her as well for the boy.

"Nadia?" call someone in the hallway of the Hospital.

Nadia who was walking on the porch of the building also looked back. He smiled as he found Rai walking towards him.

"You still come to the Hospital regularly?" ask Rai to Nadia.

"Yes, but now one of my children is sick and has to be treated here for a few days" Nadia replied as she continued to walk into the child's room.

"Oh, I thought you were sick. How's your pain progressing, Nad?" Rai sympathized with the woman who walked beside him.

"That's it, Rai. If I want to go back to normal I have to find someone who will share his kidney with me, but it's very difficult. Who is willing to give his organs to others. Just a fool, Rai," replied Nadia sounding desperate for the illness she was suffering from.

"Patience, Nad. If it is the way, Allah will bring it to you. Never give up the vast mercy of God. I'm sure you'll be healed. Spirit, yes!" support Rai while clenching hands at Nadia and waving when she has to part.

Nadia smiled, always grateful every time she met Rai. That man alone can regain the spirit in his life, why can't he?

Bugh!

"Aw!"

"Be careful if you walk, why not look around, anyway? What if someone else you hit?" A voice made Nadia smile. Nadia was stunned, she would have fallen if there were no burly hands to embrace her.

A dazzling handsome face, a deadly smile. Eyes sharp, but warm. She manages to thrill Nadia, making the woman fall in love again.

"Mas! Sorry, I was a little careless to the point of not consciously falling in Mas's arms" Nadia said as she looked up at Ikram's peaceful face. She hugged her husband's body.

He kissed that forehead with anxiety.

"Yes, lucky Mas you hit. Try if someone else, Mas will beat the person out for having dared to touch Mas's property," said Ikram earnestly.

Nadia who heard it, tightened her embrace without hesitation.

"When did you come? Why don't I know?" tanya Nadia who continued her steps with Ikram.

"Yes, just now. I was going straight to my room, but not because I saw you here. Who was that?" sahut Ikram also asked about Rai to Nadia.

"That's Raihan, a comrade in arms first. We accidentally met earlier, Mas," replied Nadia afraid Ikram jealous.

"You know what, I saw that. Keep your Marwah as a married woman, Nadia," Ikram's pinta while tightening her embrace on Nadia's shoulder.

"God willing, Mommy."

The love Ikram had for Nadia was truly sincere. The presence of Nadia makes Ikram can feel what it feels like to fall in love.
