For several days Ikram stayed at Nadia's house because there he could find peace of heart. Nadia's attitude that legowo willingly accepted everything that happened to him, making Ikram comfortable to be by his side. Maximum service, treats with a smile, warmth in the deck, all that is needed Ikram.
That morning, he passed through the gates of the foundation about to teach to the hut. Crossing paths with Ruby who came out of the cottage gate to take Nadia to the Hospital.
"Ruby, where are you going?" ask Ikram when Ruby experienced him on the street.
"You take Mother, Bi. Regularly studying at the factory with Mommy," he replied with a reassuring smile so that Ikram did not suspect him.
Ikram stroked Ruby's hair covered with hijab gently. He smiled and looked at her and nodded.
"Be careful!" remember, as you continue your steps towards the cottage gate.
Ruby also walked to the house to change clothes. Ain who heard the sound of the Kram rushed out of the house. She ran to her husband, then retraced the steps of Ikram.
"Wait, Bi!" prevent Ain from standing in front of Ikram with a stupefied breath due to emotions also due to running.
"What's up, Mi? Abi wants to fill out a lesson," said Ikram with a clear view on Ain.
"Why does Abi seem to avoid? Abi does not even go home, instead spending time with Nadia alone. Umi also needs Abi not just him. Yuni too, she's Abi's new wife, but Abi hasn't touched her yet. Why, Bi?" attack Ain with overflowing emotions.
Ikram sighed, he looked at his first wife's manic deeply. There was hatred in Ain's brown iris. Not directed at who.
"Please voice Umi. Shame when someone hears"
"Thy? Let it be ashamed. Let everyone know how Abi's doing?" tukas Ain rebuked Ikram bravely. Ain had changed because of his revenge.
"Astaghfiullah! Abi is guarding the honor of Umi as a woman and wife of Abi. Umi is their mother, it doesn't deserve to be this hard. Umi's attitude like this will only embarrass Umi himself. Relax, Mi-"
"The problem is Yuni, not Abi who wants to marry him, but Umi who forces Abi to marry him. Abi has done what Umi pinta, now please ... Abi just needs time to calm down," continued Ikram remained in a low and gentle tone.
He continued to step back into the gate of the cottage. Ain turned to look at the back of Ikram who was away without being seen would turn his head. Without them knowing, some of the students who were inside the mosque eavesdropped on their conversation a little.
Ain snorted in annoyance, he stamped his steps leaving the street to re-enter his house.
While inside the house, Yuni was sitting in the living room while opening a magazine with her legs raised on the table. Ruby looked at it. The third wife of his brother is very different from Nadia.
"If you are at home, be kind and respect the host." The scathing insinuation Ruby made for Yuni made the woman flinch.
Slowly he lowered his legs while glancing at Ruby who was not looking at him at all. The boy went into the room without any interest in greeting his stepmother.
"Still little already that bike is your mouth. How about growing up later," Yuni grumbled as she sipped her lips.
An irritated Ain slammed the body on the sofa. Yuni frowned in wonder.
"You why? By the way why Ikram doesn't come home, anyway? Why am I being called gini-rich?" sumpul Yuni had not received it since he was married, Ikram had not touched it at all.
Ain glared, let alone the new one. He was the one who had been for a long time, Ikram did not even glance at him after his third marriage. Damn it, but it is true what Ikram said. The marriage was not her wish, but Ain't.
"Ain, your eldest son seems to have been poisoned by that woman. He dared to insinuate me. That's because he spent more time with your honey," Yuni reported grumbling still unable to accept Ruby's attitude towards him.
"Mother is not like that. My mother never taught me bad things. Never speak ill of Mother, never!"
Ruby who happened to hear when she was about to come out squinted at Yuni. His face was defiant. He dislikes Yuni pitting Ain against Nadia. Not pitted against sheep alone, Ain always beat the drums of war against Nadia. If only Nadia did not always give up, then it is certain that fights will occur every day.
He snorted a menacing look at the female snake that Ain kept in his own house. Yuni turned her head, that little boy dared to threaten her. In his heart he growled.
"Ruby, where are you going, son?" ain asked after a while stunned by the bravery of his eldest daughter.
Ruby stopped her steps in the doorway, she turned to Ain and came back closer.
"Ruby wants to take Mommy, Mi." He greeted Ain, but not Yuni even though the woman thrust her hand asking for it to be saluted.
Ain couldn't prevent it because Ruby would have been tough on him, and it was always like that. He was busy thinking about how to persuade Ikram to go home. Ruby left the house to Nadia who was waiting near the Mang Sarif post.
Nadia smiled when she saw the boy coming. Their ordered car arrived earlier. Both of them left without any hurt or sadness.
"You see, right? First of all, Ikram and your children will also be overpowered by him, Ain. Are you just gonna let it go?" Yuni began to heat up Ain who had been upset earlier.
He was stunned to hear Yuni's speech just now.
"You're right, this can't be allowed. We must succeed in getting Ikram away from him" said Ain also burned.
Ain was busy with his thoughts. Yuni was busy with her thoughts. Both are looking for ways to keep Ikram away from Nadia. He looks weak, but he is cunning. Such was Ain and Yuni's thought of Nadia.
While the person they offended, did not think as petty as they thought.
Now, Ruby knows how the process of dialysis is done and the duration of time. The doctor allowed her to be in the room to accompany Nadia. Talk to get rid of the boredom that often comes when he goes through it all.
"Mother, does it always have to be like this?" ruby asked in between their chat.
Nadia smiled from where she lay.
"Well how else? If Mother wants to live a normal life, then there must be a donor who is willing to give her kidney to Mother. Donors are hard to find. Who would want to divide the precious organs in his body for others. And if Mommy wants to stay alive, then Mommy must do this routinely," replied Nadia with a firm tone until her sadness was not seen at all.
Ruby glanced at him, her lips twitching about to cry.
"Hey! Remember, you have promised Mother will not cry with this condition. Don't cry!" prevent Nadia when the water that pooled in the eye patch Ruby almost fell to the cheek.
Ruby rubbed the corner of her eye. He shook.
"I'm not crying. I can't cry. I'm not crying, Mother" he said repeatedly. Nadia smiling.
Mother, how Mother can be this fresh with a disease that continues to eat away at the health of Mother. I can't imagine if it was me.
