The Ark of Love Nurmala

Ferocity

By midday Nurmala arrived at her home. Samsudin who was sitting on the porch of the house was surprised because Nurmala came with a motorcycle taxi driver.

"Nurma?" Samsudin looked at his daughter's gloomy face.

Samsudin immediately welcomed his daughter without asking many questions, he understood if his daughter went home alone a sign of his household being in trouble.

"Hemmh, I'm so tired sir!" his weakness. Nurmala rushed inside the room after cleaning herself, then took a break.

"With your son sir?" ask Samira.

"Not been able to talk when asked!"

In the afternoon they sat in front of the television. Nurmala has not been open to the problem, they talk about other things.

"How did Aldi Nur go to college?" ask Samsudin.

"Hammhs!" Nurmala threw out her breath in annoyance.

"What the hell, you must have a problem with Aldi!?" Samira to the point.

Nurmala fell silent, her eyes glazed over.

"By the way Nur, it's crying!"

"Patience to Buk! Let Nurmala calm down, just tell me!" said the father, Samira was gnarled and impatient.

Some time Nurmala sniffled beside her father. Samsudin stroked the back of his beloved son.

"Have Nur, every household has problems, as long as it is still in love and can forgive each other, everything will be fine"

"That's sir, Kang Aldi seems to no longer love me, he is more concerned with college and his friends sir, every day home at night, his friends may also be women sir!" Nurmala has voiced Aldi's attitude.

"You don't know for yourself, just prejudice, do you?" Nurmala stopped her crying. He did not see with his own eyes.

"But I don't like being left home alone!"

"Do you want to go to college too?"

"Neither ah Buk, Nur lazy, do what is college again! mending the money to buy another stall!"

"Pinter, Samira's mother's son!" samira replied which then made the three of them laugh.

Nurmala became calmer, but her heart still felt Aldi changed, no longer like before college.

Meanwhile Aldi break was talking with some friends who are the same age as him. They talk about family, including children.

"Kang Aldi, how many years have you been married?"

"12 years!"

"How many kids?"

"The wife is still one, is she?" Aldi laughed as he replied "Yes!"

"It has to be an experiment to the second wife, who knows how it works!" knock one of them. According to Aldi it makes sense.

The second hour bell to the lecture had rang, they also moved into the room. Aldi sat listening to the lecture, but his mind could not concentrate. "Can I have children if I have another wife?" The question kept raging in his brain.

The lecturer continued to give material, but Aldi was busy with his own thoughts until the bell went home.

"You're going straight home Al?" Ask when they meet in the corridor. Aldi agreed, Antok asked Aldi not to rush home, there is something he wants to talk about.

Aldi entered the room Antok.

"Al, we need your help to charge the jihadi friends to go to Poso, can you?"

"How much mas?" Antok then mentions a number of money that Aldi immediately approved.

"How's your wife doing, all right?"

"Alhamdulillah, healthy mas!"

"My friend used to be like you, long time no child, but after marriage again, instead can not stop giving birth! Hehe..." Antok chuckled, Aldi could only grimace, his mind getting more and more upset.

After the meeting, Aldi went straight home. He found his house empty. Aldi stared open the closet and stared at the pile of Nurmala's clothes. "Nur, can you share with others so that I can have children?"

A few moments Aldi stood in front of the closet.

"But, can I ever wish my wife the hard-earned wife I had?" Aldi closed the closet door again, moved pensively on the edge of the bed.

"But I would love to have offspring, the successor of my generation, the heir to my treasure. I'm from a family that has many descendants, I'm not sure that I'm barren!" Aldi's mind continued to argue with his heart, until tired and asleep.

Nurmala was still watching movies on television. Actually he was waiting for an SMS or phone call from Aldi. Nurmala became increasingly sentimental from watching the scandalous drama of the affair.

"Will my household have a fate like her?" inward Nurmala when the woman in the film went home to her parents, then her husband actually had fun with other women.

"Oh no!" Nurmala nodded, rushed to pick up the phone on the buffet, then called Aldi. Unfortunately, the phone is in a state of being turned off.

"Hmmm!!" Nurmala snorted in annoyance.

Finally he turned off the television, and chose to enter the room.

Nurmala laid her body on the bed, but her eyes stared at the wedding photos still on the wall. He smiled, but it was painful and bitter considering that happiness seemed to be coming to an end. The person who has loved himself has changed.

"What's my fault?" Nurmala tried introspection. He had found nothing else but himself who had not been able to give an offspring.

"It's not my fault, it's not my wish, I always wanted to give a child to kang Aldi!"

"Are you going to divorce me in time? Oh no! Nah! All this time I built everything from zero to having everything!"

Nurmala was restless on the bed, sometimes she sat down but then lay back down. In the end he was tired and decided to make peace with the night.
