Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Ruby Fed up

Ruby is back preparing to go to the Hospital. He was just waiting for Winda to come and pick him up. The three of them sat on the porch of Nadia's house. The doors of the foundation are completely locked tightly.

"Where are the two brothers in the foundation?" ruby asked in wonder because since his arrival he no longer saw the two people.

"They didn't come home, brother. Stay in the shop" Bilal replied, hugging his knee and putting his chin on it. While Nafisah rests her head on Ruby's body.

They flinched when they heard Ain's high voice that snapped at Ikram. Ruby followed Bilal to see what was happening. However, they did not leave their seats.

"Umi and Abi fought every day. No, just Umi. Abi never retaliated against Umi's clasps" Bilal reported, which made Ruby's heart grimace.

"Did they forget that any of their children were here listening?" ruby muttered as she moved closer to her house.

"Again about Nadia, she's gone, Bi. It's been three days and he hasn't come back yet. Why is Abi still talking about it? She doesn't love Abi, why is Abi blinded by Abi's love?" said Ain with a stifled voice.

"Because Nadia is still the wife of our husband. He is still the responsibility of Mas Ikram. Just like us," said Yuni who was tired of hearing the selfishness of Ain who wanted to master the Kram alone.

"Shut up! I don't like you to interfere with this matter" said Ain, who made Yuni turn around with her baby to leave them.

"Abi still wants to look for him? I'm sure he's gone with another guy considering what he used to be, bad girl and-"

"Well! Stop your habit of talking badly about others! Nadia is my wife, she's my responsibility. You should be thinking all this time who has been supporting you, financing all your needs even children. I'm tired of facing your selfish attitude, Ain. I'm really tired," snapped a softly ended Ikram at the end of the word.

He who stood up immediately sat down and rubbed his face. Ikram is really tired of making it. Ain gaped in disbelief, not only the sound of the Ikram's snapping that made him stunned, but also his call earlier that made Ain in disbelief.

"Bi!" slowly oozed. His voice sounded trembling as soon as his voice called out that name. Her tears dripped unstoppably, feeling distant with the figure of Ikram when Umi's call was no longer spoken.

They don't know that Ruby is eavesdropping outside the house. The teenager cried to hear the debate of his parents who always about Nadia.

"Even now Abi began to move away from Umi. Abi no longer wants Umi, why, Bi? Why is it that since Nadia entered our lives, Abi changed his attitude towards Umi? And now ...." Ain could not continue his sentence, he cried dumbstruck down on the chair while covering his face.

"Can you do something like this to Umi? In fact, for fifteen years Umi devoted herself to her husband without demanding much without asking for this and that. Didn't Abi see all that? Why was it only Nadia Abi thought of? Did Abi never think of Umi's feelings?" sentak Ain cried hysterically which made Ikram more frustrated because of it.

"It wasn't Abi who changed, it was Umi. Since Nadia was present, Abi no longer knows the figure of Umi who is gentle and caring. Abi spends more time with Umi than Nadia, but Umi constantly presses Nadia so that she feels the pain of Umi. Umi was far from the Shari'a, Umi forgot about religion and was far from God. If only Umi could accept-"

"No woman is willing to be mocked, Abi! There aren't. His heart will always be tormented every imagine what his husband and madman did. That's what Umi feels. Every time I imagined Abi with Nadia, every time it felt like Umi's heart was torn apart. The pain is immeasurable. Abi won't know what it's like" Ain said quickly before Ikram ended his speech.

Ikram look, the face that used to always look peaceful now always makes his heart heat up every time he looked. Had he not remembered Nadia's message, Ain might have been divorced.

Ikram took a deep breath when he remembered Nadia's message. Throw it away slowly before dropping his eyes on his first wife again.

"Abi knows Umi is heartbroken, but what Umi once thought Nadia was also embittered by the unreasonable rules of Umi. He was also hurt when Umi got more time than he was only three days a month, but Nadia was good at treating him, he did not drag on in the pain he suffered. Umi should also be able to do that, accept sincerely or refuse firmly if Umi does not want to be combined. Finally our own messy-household"

"Nadia left because her heart was too hurt by Umi's words. The word that used to always say the name of Allah, now always says bad. Nadia is still Abi's wife, Abi must take responsibility for her life. Please Umi understand that!" reveal Ikram with the up and down tone that he issued.

"Why does Abi always blame Umi? Nadia who went alone, Umi did not expel him," said Ain still do not accept blame.

Ruby growled along with Ikram.

"It's not a matter of expelling, but the words that Umi said were what made her hit and preferred to leave." Ikram.

"Maybe she doesn't want to be Abi's wife anymore. Oh, that's it, Bi. Let go of Nadia, she can't have children either, right-"

"Well!"

Clenched up black, he stood up with his blackened face.

"What if someone says that to you! The words you say to others are better to say to yourself first. Whether your heart will hurt when you say that, whether you can accept others saying that to you. Unless your heart is dead" said Ikram with his chest heaving with emotions.

Ain was inflamed, he rose from his seat and challenged Ikram.

"Yes .. Umi's heart has indeed died since the arrival of Abi's second wife. My heart is dead"

"Can you stop fighting? Can you guys not always pull the veins? Can you make peace? Do you have no shame? You guys fight without looking around. You are arguing about Mother without thinking about the consequences. You always feel the truest yourself as if you have no religion as a backrest. You should be ashamed, look at the santri there and hear your childish voice-"

"I don't understand why Abi is so weak. I can't stop thinking, why Umi can be arrogant and selfish like this. I don't seem to know my parents anymore. Have you ever thought about how we felt as children? Have you ever thought about the santri you are ayomi? Have you ever thought about the food and education costs of children in the foundation? Never was! You're selfish. Just thinking about each other's feelings without even looking around."

Ruby's long sentence that paused for a moment, made the two people confused. They were both staring at their eldest daughter who had just been seen that day.

Ruby no longer cried, she stared at the pity of the two parents who never paid attention to her and her siblings again.

"Mother go and you guys argue here. How humiliating! Look out, your students are even listening to your fairy tales."

Ruby turned around after saying that, she hoped that the two would reflect on all of that and be aware of the mistake.
