Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Talk to Sarah

Ikram probed the look on Ain's face sitting in front of him. He put down the book he read and went back to Ain.

"What's up, Mi? Why so nervous?" tanya Ikram after looking at the face of Ain.

The woman before him drew in a deep air and threw it away slowly. Decompose tightness in the chest that creates a royal sebak.

Ain sat restlessly in front of Ikram. His eyes turned there and there looking for an object that was pleasing to the eye.

"Mi!" reprimand the puffed up with Ain's attitude that had just been silent and agitated.

"Yes, Bi. Umi's been thinking it all." Ikram smiled hearing that. She thought Ain would never force her to marry again.

"Umi agrees with Abi's request. Umi will not prohibit Abi from meeting Nadia whenever Abi wants Abi from marrying her," Ain continued firmly.

The gape of disbelief. Ain was beyond belief. He changed so far only out of heartache with Nadia's presence.

"Why did Umi do all that? Wouldn't it hurt Umi herself?" ask Ikram after controlling his shock.

"No, Bi. This is Umi's choice, different from Nadia's choice Abi. Every time he saw it Umi's heart always hurt," said Ain who made Ikram sigh resignedly.

"Out Umi."

No more talk, Ikram went out of the house to meet the mang Sarif talk lightly expel his grief.

While Nadia, contemplating looking at the ceiling of the room which is only decorated with hanging lights. No plans to leave today. However, he moved for a moment as Sarah's shadow flashed across the eye.

Nadia booked a taxi online and rushed out. He did not know if there was a kram who was chatting with the mang Sarif in the post.

Ikram frowned when he heard the sound of a car engine that stopped outside the gate.

"Whose car, Mang?" he asked while staring intensely at the Inova type car parked outside the gate.

Mang Sarif gawked to the window and replied, "Oh .. that's the usual car to pick up Nadia's mom, Bi. Maybe Nadia wants to go," said Sang Sarif who made Ikram inching closer to the window.

Ting!

A message went to Ikram's phone, a message from Nadia who asked for permission to visit Sarah.

Ikram hides out wanting to know the driver of the online taxi that Nadia always orders. Is it really female.

Nadia came looking a little rushed indeed. The car's glass window was open, Ikram sharpened his sense of sight to be able to see clearly the type of driver.

He let out a sigh of relief when the face and hair of the person sitting on the steering wheel was the figure of a woman.

"Women, Bi," exclaimed Mang Sarif who was dubbed Ikram. He smiled to let Nadia leave the house.

[Well, we'll see you, yeah. Nadia wants to talk to Mamah.]

Nadia sent a short message to Sarah while on the road to somewhere.

[Mamah is looking around Situ Palayangan. You come here directly.]

Nadia rushed down as soon as she arrived at the lake. He looked for Sarah around. The hand from his mother made Nadia run a little. With a bottle of mineral water in hand he came to where Sarah was sitting waiting.

A seat made of woven bamboo-amben-name. Nadia landed her body on the seat. Experiencing Sarah and kissing her right and left cheeks.

"So you're healthy?" nadia asked after noticing Sarah's face that was no longer pale.

The middle-aged woman smiled, always warm and soothing. Sarah gently caressed her daughter's head.

"You're better, you don't worry too much about Mom. Here the weather is cool, the wind blows softly. Mamahakan here will be crowded like Balong one day," said Sarah while circulating views to all places there.

Is correct. One day the place will be crowded like Balong. Currently in the development stage, it is enough to invite children to play in the afternoon. Wander around the lake with a cool view of a forest and grassland in another part.

"Mamah is right, here it is suitable to sell snacks. Not my talent." Nadia chuckles followed by Sarah's fluffy smile.

"Hear you are making a craft and will market it. You want to set up a store to sell all that?" asked Sarah when she remembered the news of Nadia who wanted to open an artificial flower shop.

"Yes, Mah. Just haven't found a suitable place yet, Mah. In the market it is crowded. Nadia just has not found a place with the heart of Nadia, Mah," replied Nadia glanced at the ripples of lake water that was partly overgrown with grass.

"Patience .. hopefully your wish can be achieved," welcome Sarah who gives a soft sweep in Nadia's hand.

He simply nodded in response to Sarah's words. The snack accompanied the mother and child. Sarah bought it from a seller who went around the lake.

"What do you want to see Mamah? Tumben just sent Mamah a message. Usually come directly to the factory or to the boutique," asked Sarah to look at the different ripples of Nadia's face than usual.

Nadia sighed, feeling heavy to make him short for a moment. His gaze was still fixed on the murky lake water. Usually there are some residents who look for fish in the lake using getek. A sampan made of bamboo clothes that are pushed with bamboo also when you want to move it. But today it looks lonely.

There are only a few rowboats that are commonly used to practice by school children.

"Yes, Mah. Nadia wanted to talk to Mamah. Nadia was being confused at the moment, how to behave. Whether the decision that Nadia will take is good for Nadia," said Nadia who this time looked down at the hand that was twirling the mineral water bottle.

"You have a problem at home? With Ikram and Ain?" guess it was Sarah who made Nadia raise her face and look at him.

Nadia neither nodded nor nodded her head. He just kept looking at Sarah who was looking at his face.

"Nadia, if there's a problem with you guys it's best to talk about it. You come to that place well, and be kind when you are in the neighborhood. You do not feel like a person to be served by the residents of the boarding school. Don't tell this and that person to meet your needs, son," Sarah's advice was listened to well by Nadia.

"Not that, Mah." Doubt Nadia wants to express her heart to Sarah.

"Then, what, honey?" ask Sarah again impatiently.

"Nadia needs Mamah's support to convince Nadia's decision to part with Ikram's mas."

For whatever sake, hearing that ripple Sarah's face changed drastically.

Palayangan.
