Sharing Love: The Suffering of the Second Wife

Threatening Yuni

The next day, Ain and Yuni were both preoccupied with their personal affairs. The Ikram has to take care of itself. He will concern himself with returning to his teaching activities, hoping to be a little forgotten about Nadia's divorce suit. Until anytime Ikram will not be willing to divorce from him. He will never leave his life. Nadia should be his.

"Why is everything so messed up, anyway? Damn it, he said that he could take care of everything turned out to be destroyed like this," complained Ain alone in the kitchen. He sat agitated, his face disheveled and uninspired. Feeling desperate not knowing what else to do.

"What's up, Ain? You look agitated? Is there a problem?" ask Yuni who came while holding the baby. The woman was busy taking care of her baby son.

"Ck .. You don't know anything, don't interfere," said Ain glancing sharply at Yuni with the corner of his eye.

There was a sigh coming from Yuni, tired of Ain's never-changing attitude.

"Ain, soon my forty-day son. Hows it? There was no thanksgiving, I had no money. The pans no longer give me money. You used to promise me that you would make my life easy and good. Now, how?" said Yuni to collect the promise. What is conscious? He's still like that, really.

Ain was grieving, he was just messing around with business that did not go well, now there was Yuni who billed a promise to him. The promise of the deal they used to do if Yuni wanted to be Ikram's wife.

"Yes, yes .. You take it easy. So chatty!" gerutu Ain as he left the kitchen and entered his room.

Yuni snorted, Ain has always been so. In contrast to Nadia who never acted tough and arrogant to anyone even though her name soared and was known to everyone. He is humble and helpful. Yuni.

He patted the baby's thigh in his carrier as he cried. Yuni went to her room and started breastfeeding. Inadvertently his eyes saw Ruby sweeping the foundation yard with the other children.

Yuni frowned, a few days as if to be an untouched dead place, now they look compactly clad in royong cleaning the foundation yard. Ploughing grass, and burning plastic waste. Nanny's mother who arranged the flowers. In the past, Nadia always tidied it up. Now, no one is taking care so he has to keep the relic of the noble-hearted woman.

Bilal and Nafisah were even seen among them. Are they not in school? Since Nadia's departure, Ikram's three children have never left the house. They were reluctant to set foot in their own homes.

Seeing Ruby, Yuni wanted to talk to her. The teenager knew many things and secrets that his parents did not know. Where does he know and how to get such important information.

She glanced at the baby who was still opening her eyes wide. While breastfeeding and his hands playing on the surface of Yuni's skin. How his son formed, he still loved him.

Yuni moved after a while her son fell asleep. Slowly and carefully, he went down the bed. Do not forget to surround the baby with a pillow so as not to fall. Yuni goes out of the room her intention is to meet Ruby and talk to her.

He waited until all the children went to rest. Only Ruby remains a person who is tidying up cleaning tools.

"Ruby's? Can Aunt talk?" tanya Yuni who was already standing behind Ruby. The teenager turned his head, and frowned seeing Yuni standing on the foundation.

"What are you talking about?" Ruby asked back. It keeps the tools in their original place. The foundation, which is several days bleak, now looks radiant and shining after cleaning.

"We'll sit down!" invite him to appoint the chair of the foundation hall. According to Ruby, he followed Yuni who walked towards the chair and sat side by side.

"What does Aunt want to talk about?" ruby asked after downing the syrup water provided by Mom earlier.

"Mmm .. sorry, Aunt just wanted to ask. What did you say yesterday was the real thing?" tanya Yuni opened the language.

Ruby looked at the face of the woman who was looking at her with curiosity. He turned his face, staring at the expanse of colorful flowers and their various forms.

"I know a lot of things, Auntie. I even know something rotten that people keep here. I know everything" Ruby said with a slanted smile with a focused look ahead.

"Is it true that Sarah's mother has died? And Nadia's mom is in a coma?" ask her again while tilting her head to look at the teenager beside her.

Ruby glanced, for a second. He turned back, this time looking down at his feet playing with the ground.

"Grandmother died after seeing her husband's hitter. According to the two brothers in the foundation, Grandma saw Abi sitting on her butut bike. In our conclusion at that time, it was likely that the motorcycle was the same one that Abi used when he hit Grandma's husband. From the license plate that is dead, the motor that has been weathered may be Grandma still remembers very clearly. It's just that he did not know the face of the perpetrator, nor did Abi wear a worn helmet at that time. He said the motorbike and helmet were given by his sister Grandpa," explained Ruby still lowered her head to look at the dust that was flying because of the actions of her feet.

Yuni also turned her face away from Ruby. I don't know what's on his mind right now, which is obviously the teenager next to him is so smart and can conclude things exactly even though he doesn't know what happened.

"For Mother .. because it was too shocked by the sudden death of Grandma, also because it was too late to do dialysis until kidney failure in her pain made Mother in a coma. I don't know how Mother is doing now? Because by the time I got back to the Hospital, Mommy was no longer there. The doctor said his papa family Mommy came to take Mommy away," continued Ruby again this time his view leads to clouds that run in rhythm in the clear sky.

Yuni did not know what else to comment. He wanted to apologize to Nadia and admit his regret. He did not want to be immersed in the pit of sin he created himself.

"Mother is physically ill, but Aunt has liver disease. Mother's pain can be cured, but heart disease is very difficult what else if it is ingrained," Ruby quipped in a slow tone, but menohok his pride.

Yuni lowered her head, pondering over Ruby's words that sounded cruel, but it was true. Physical pain can be cured easily, but liver disease is very difficult to eliminate what else is ingrained.

Ruby's last sentence was spoken, repeated Yuni in her heart as well as her mind. He was not even aware if in his heart lodged various diseases. Envy, spite, sedition, arrogance and so on that deadens the heart so that it cannot see the good that others do.

"You're right, my heart is a hotbed of hard-to-treat disease. I realize now. Thank you, Ruby!" Yuni.

He looked at another figure of Ruby who was still sitting pecking at the front view. Ruby turned to her, smiling disdainfully at the secret she had been keeping all this time. Seeing Ruby's strange smile, Yuni frowned, the smile she had carved faded.

"Tante wants to say it himself? Or should I just take it apart?" ruby said as if making an offer to Yuni. He smiled increasingly pressing Yuni who was already being attacked nervously. Ruby is a dangerous teenager for criminals. He did not even hesitate to reveal all the secrets of his parents, what else he did not accept Ruby from the beginning. It was easy for her to tell him everything that had been her secret all along.

"I-I mean you're a-what?" tanya Yuni stamped. Sweaty granules were popping up on his forehead. Not having time to wipe it, Ruby laughed a little while turning away.

"Tante knows what I mean, there's no need for me to explain. So how? Is it Aunt's own oral who's gonna tell me the truth, or should it be my sharpest speech that's gonna reveal all of Auntie's secrets all along?" ruby's circus was still with a smile that intimidated Yuni.

That smile managed to intrude his heart and mind, disturbing the calmness of his soul. A second later, he smiled in defiance of Ruby's threat.

"You're threatening me?" tanya Yuni stared intently at Ruby whom she thought would be disturbed. In fact, Ruby smiled instead not at all afraid of the sharp eyes of Yuni.

"Take that, because I won't let my family keep a venomous snake like Aunt at home for too long. They should know that the snake they have been keeping one day will bite them. I'm right, aren't I?" sahut Ruby with a relaxed style that increasingly irritates Yuni.

The insolent! This little boy dared to threaten me. Just look what I'm gonna do to him!

"You are indeed smart and dangerous, what Nadia has educated you to be like this? Like a criminal who has no heart." Yuni grunting.

Ruby laughed again, another laugh than usual. Like the laughter of a psychopath who threatens his target's life.

"Not Mother, but you made me like this. I'm imitating the way you guys work. Intelligence combined with cunning. I learned from you, you guys are the greatest teachers for petty criminals like me. Unknowingly your attitude makes me dangerous to you alone."

Ruby folded both hands on the stomach. Stay with the smile that made Yuni flounder. He left with his heart overrun by a burning fire. The heat is immeasurable. Ruby smiled with satisfaction.
