Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

The Worsening Condition

"Nadia, the condition of your body is only you know. Ikram does not know anything about this disease of yours, so he just want to do that to you without fear you will be hurt. Lucky you didn't fall into a coma. I even hope that you are in pain so that Ikram knows about this. You are, yes, very good at hiding all this. This is also ...." The doctor commented on Nadia's condition, she flipped through Nadia's wrist with a smile and shook her head.

"I have to what? It can't do much, so just let it go. Lucky, at that time my body did not drop immediately," said Nadia with her weak voice. He lay in the patient's bed because after returning from vacation his body condition suddenly dropped.

Nadia immediately fled by using the services of an online taxi subscription without anyone knowing. He had been in the hospital for two days on the advice of a doctor.

"Anyway, I will not allow you to go home before your body condition is really healthy," said the doctor again did not want to be denied.

"Yes, Doctor. It's like Mamah, yes," said Nadia smiling knots looking at the doctor who was like Mom to her.

The female doctor smiled, she patted Nadia's hand slowly.

"Sarah is my best friend, we are even like brothers who need each other. You are already I think like my own child, how could I allow my child to be in pain to this extent. Anyway, Nadia ...."

The female doctor stared at Nadia's bead intensely, there was something she wanted to say, but hesitated. He was worried that Nadia would be offended if he discussed it.

"What's up, Doctor? Just say it, don't hesitate," said Nadia after observing a rattled mimic on her face.

"I know how your household is doing with them. Why do you still survive even if you are treated unfairly like that?" asked the doctor looking sympathetically at the beautiful woman who was lying weakly on the sickly bed.

Nadia took a deep breath while changing her position towards the ceiling of the room.

"I originally wanted to give up, but I realized there was still something I had to do before I left. I've made a decision, Doctor," replied Nadia again turning to the doctor beside her.

"Yes, you better rest. Remember that! Don't whine about asking to go home because I'll never let you go home before you fully recover. You are one of the lucky ones of the many patients with kidney failure. God gave you a long life so that you can still feel the blessings He has given you to this day. Do not waste the favor that God has given. Go sleep! I will stay, there will be a nurse who will accompany you as usual" the doctor advised before moving on.

Nadia pondered, right. He was probably one of the lucky ones God chose. Laisa filkauni muhallun. Nothing is impossible to Him in this world. People who have been sentenced to be short-lived, can still breathe air until this second. Maybe people call it a miracle, but Nadia calls it a ma'uunah. Help from God may be the reward of every good he does.

He closed his eyes, the night had reached its peak. Two days Nadia was admitted to the Hospital without anyone knowing even Sarah herself was not informed. Nadia did not want to make everyone panic and anxious because her condition suddenly worsened.

Nadia never knew, the three children Ikram busy looking for himself at home. Bilal and Nafisah were sometimes delirious in their sleep calling out the name of their mother. Tomorrow his parents will return from the holy land.

"Mom, where exactly is Mother? Why is there no news at all?" ruby asked with obvious anxiety.

"Mother also did not see even Mang Sarif alone did not see. So absolutely no one knows where your Mother is," replied the Nanny Mother with the same ripple as Ruby.

"Try you to the factory, just ask the employees there. Who knows if they have any information about where your mother is" she advised.

"Oh, right too. Why not think about yesterday. Tomorrow I go there," cried Ruby with a twinkle of hope in the eye.

"Not tomorrow. Tomorrow Umi and Abi go home, you welcome them first after that go to the factory," said Mother again who immediately faded a smile on Ruby's face.

The morning came again, as was the custom of Bilal and Nafisah to go to Nadia's house. Every day they hoped Nadia would come home and accompany them. But until that day, they were disappointed. Nadia is not back yet.

The two children sat hugging their feet on the porch of Nadia's house. The mother who saw it could not bear, the children of Ikram already like chicks who lost their mothers. Every day went to Nadia's house knocking on the door and calling.

"Mother! Has Mother gone home? Mother!"

Depressing. It was sad to see the two children sitting hugging their knees every day waiting for Nadia's arrival.

"Honey, breakfast first, yuk! You'll be sick later. If you're sick and Mother comes home what should you answer?" take Mom to both. Every day to woo and give hope. They eventually followed Mom to the foundation. Eat with the kids at the foundation, that's how it is every day.

"Same Umi Abi wants to go home today. We will be ready to welcome, yes. Maybe it will be until later tonight," said Mother while preparing food for both.

Neither Bilal nor Nafisah, neither of them. Shut up while receiving a plate of rice from Mom. Eating is not tasteful either.

The night came again, the sound of the harbours welcomed the arrival of three people from the holy land. The tired and weary face, tangled no light of happiness emanated from the three like one who had just returned from the holy land.

Her three children stood on the porch with Mother waiting for their arrival with a sweet smile. However, the smile faded when Ain and Ikram only returned their makeshift smiles.

Ikram even went straight into the house after shaking hands with his children. Without asking about Nadia who was not present to welcome his arrival.

"Ain, where's your honey? I didn't see it just now" Yuni whispered after being inside the house and sitting on the sofa. Mothers bring them cold drinks will be very refreshing to wet their dry throats.

"Thank you, ma'am" Ain said, drinking Mother's orange juice.

"Not to think about it, maybe he did not want to welcome us out of jealousy. Or else he was curled up in the corner of the room crying alone." The two chuckled small to avoid being heard by the three Ain children who were also sitting on the sofa.

"Umi didn't bring souvenirs?" bilal asked after a while of sitting and there was no conversation.

"Yes, sorry, yeah. Umi did not have time to buy souvenirs because at the time there was a sudden strange incident. Be Umi did not have time to buy it, this is actually not the time to go home. Sorry, yes, honey. We'll just buy it here, yes," Ain replied unkindly to his two children.

He did not buy anything as a hand because of one thing.

This is because this card suddenly cannot be used. I couldn't buy anything for them. Didn't Nadia send him anymore? Ikram also did not want to give money from Nadia. Cobalt.

Ain grumbled in his heart. Cussing non-stop. Her three children decided to retreat to the room.

"That's why the card couldn't be used yesterday? It wasn't that before it could still be, yes," Yuni asked after they had only stayed alone.

"I don't know, I'll ask you tomorrow. Now I'm tired of going to sleep" Ain said as he left the living room followed by Yuni. The screams just now disappeared into silence.
