Nuraini really did not feel satisfied to interfere with Habibah's life. He really did not feel calm if he saw Habiba's life was fine. The envy had completely taken hold of his heart and mind.
That afternoon Habibah was busy cooking for their dinner. While Zain was busy playing Lego games in his room, and Nuraini who saw Zain play alone in his room suddenly approached him.
" Hello Zain..! Play what is this?" tanyanya sat next to him.
" This is Lego, when you don't know?" sahut Zain while continuing to compose the legion.
" What are you doing this for?"
" Create a house, later if Zain is big want to make a house like this for Uma. Bagusan Ua?" zain's plain face looked proud as he said so.
" Yes, great.. Zain, aren't you afraid of having a new papa?" asked Nuraini suddenly.
" New papa?" the answer doesn't understand.
" In a moment, your mother will marry someone else and you will have a new father. It's called stepfather, so you have to be careful with your stepfather later. Usually stepfather is evil, you know, likes to hit and pinch stepchildren. So you later do not be too good with your stepfather yes, Ua aja afraid of the same stepfather when you are not afraid..."
" Y...!!" suddenly Habibah went into his room which made Nuraini not continue his sentence. Zain only gawked because he did not understand what Nuraini meant. But he understood what he meant by evil papa.
" Mba Aini don't overdo it.. I tried to be quiet all this time even if I wanted to. But please don't bother Zain, he doesn't know anything. How could it be like this in such a small child?"
" Where does the error lie? I just want to tell him, if usually the name stepmother or stepfather is evil. And I just reminded him not to let him experience it. If you don't accept it with my good intentions, I'm gone. So that person should not be too suspicious.. Still grateful I want to remind you there is still no gratitude as a brother." Nuraini leaves Habibah and Zain. Habibah was really angry at what her brother-in-law had done at this time.
Nuraini herself moved her feet with joy. He was very happy to start instigating a child as small as Zain. He did not want to see Habibah living a happy life even though he would later marry Purnomo. Because he did not care who Habibah would marry, what he cared about was that Habibah would suffer.
" amma.. Will you hit Zain?" zain asked as Habibah laid her tiny body on her bed.
" Don't dong darling.. Uma's son was Sholeh's son, where Sholeh's son was beaten. Papa loves Zain." Habibah tried to convince him that whoever his father was would not be evil to him.
" But Ua Eni said..."
" Shhtt.. Listen to me, baby.. Papa will love Zain as Uma loves Zain. Moreover, Zain Uma's son Sholeh, where might be hit. If the son of Zain is beaten, God will be angry, but God will not be angry. So it's impossible that papa will hit Zain. Zain is sleeping now.. Want to tell a story or hug?" Habibah tried to comfort the heart of his little son who looked uneasy about the words of Nuraini this afternoon.
" okay. Read the prayer first yes, his hands how about prayer? " Habibah led Zain to recite the prayer before going to bed slowly. Then he hugged Zain while stroking his head using one of his other hands. Habibah stared fixedly at his son's face with the many questions from the many problems he faced.
Habibah really did not understand how could his brother-in-law say such a terrible thing to a 4-year-old child. If Habibah had not gone into his room, I don't know what else his brother-in-law would have told Zain.
After Zain slept, Habibah came out of his room to the family room. There was his father and brother Joseph.
" Sister Yusuf, where is Mba Aini?" ask without further ado.
" It's in his room, why? Is there a need with him? You can just go straight to his room." Yusuf looked at the TV screen.
" No need, if so I want to ask for help with my brother. Please tell Aini, never again did she say things like this afternoon to Zain. Because if only Bibah were to be disturbed, Bibah would remain silent. But if he starts to disturb Zain, then Bibah will not be able to remain silent again. Today Bibah is still silent because Bibah still respects her brother as her husband. But if next time, it will be different, maybe Bibah will forget that she is the wife of the sister." Habibah said his warning seriously. And what Habibah said made Joseph also his father frown.
" What else did he say to Zain?" ask his father before Joseph can say anything.
" He tried to instigate Zain by saying if later if Purnomo mas became his stepfather, then he would often be beaten and hurt by Pur mas. What does it mean well he said that kind of thing to a kid as small as Zain? Is it worth it to say such things ? What is his real purpose?"
" What? Who did you say?" joseph asked surprised.
" Nobody said, for the bibah heard with his own ear and saw it with his own eyes. So this is not gossip let alone slander. Because there is no intermediary between the Bible and the incident this afternoon." Habibah was seen holding back his anger when he said the incident this afternoon.
" Do you want your wife to be suf? Already he disturbed your sister without any boredom and now even a child as small as Zain was not separated from the evil eye. I'm really upset about your wife's behavior. You as the head of the household should be firm with your wife. When you lost your prestige and prestige from your wife." her father finally opened his voice about Nuraini's behavior that always acted and made her angry.
" Yes, I'll think of him. Because I am also confused to face him who always acts as he pleases. I'm sorry to you for all the unpleasant behavior. I am really ashamed of the behavior of him who likes to act without regard to conditions and places. I'll try to talk to him later." Joseph looked very depressed with the number of Maslah made by his wife.
" What does your wife really want? You as her husband have no pride at all. What kind of wife like that, can not keep Marwah as a wife and husband. Even she doesn't care about my good name as her father-in-law. I am truly sorry to have blessed your marriage with such a woman. How can you get a woman who has no morals. Don't let me hate him, so don't let him keep acting out of bounds again. Remember the words of this father, for he did not mess with what he said." Rukmana gave Joseph a harsh ultimatum, leaving Joseph who could only bow down.
" Pardon Bibah, Bibah does not mean to complain about anything. It's just that Bibah can not if the target is Zain. Because Zain is innocent of any kind to Mba Aini and does not even understand any adult problems. So Bibah will not remain silent if he wants to incite it with wrong thoughts." said Habibah before he left Joseph alone.

The reality is many adults have a problem not introspection, instead like to blame others and even like to involve innocent people as well. 😪😪😪
