The Second Wife

Part 078more Than Pain

Morning sunlight is so beautiful, bright makes the body warm up instantly. Yasmine, the beautiful woman was standing watching the children who were following morning gymnastics. He smiled when his students looked funny. Understandably, what he taught was still small so his movements were not too perfect.

She stood in the first-class doorway, despite being four months pregnant, but she still wanted to teach. Because from her teacher colleagues, all pregnant women began to leave when pregnancy entered 36 weeks. So, he will follow in the footsteps of his colleagues.

It was over and all the kids went to class. He began to teach, from inviting all children to pray and starting lessons.

Every day, the sweet woman was always happy when she was with her students. There is a sense of pride when children begin to understand about counting and reading. He prefers teaching than any other profession.

When he finished explaining the lesson he taught, then the pregnant woman also gave a matter to be done by children. And at that moment, as he sat watching every child sitting down, he was busy with their problems. He began to think of the baby who has now begun to feel his movement.

He smiled as he rubbed his stomach, not imagining what he was going to do. Until it did not feel all the children finished doing the task and now the time for rest has arrived. He then brought a stack of books for correction in the teacher's room.

"Mom Yas, let me help you."

Yasmine stopped her steps and turned her head, behind her was Zahra who was smiling and walking closer to her. Yasmine was the same, she smiled. "Thank you, I can't."

"Mmm, Ms. Yas," said Bu Zahara who seemed like she was going to say something.

"What's wrong?" yasmine asked, her hand was sore but the colleague hung up her sentence.

"Gini, I'll never see your husband. Then, accidentally also fitting me to play to my aunt, why do I see your husband there yes, where the same woman again, what is the house of his sister?" ask Ms. Zahra very carefully. Actually as a fellow friend of course he does not want if until Yasmine is betrayed, understandably Bu Zahra does not know about Yasmine's household.

"Ekhem," Yasmine cleared her throat. "Yes, it's his sister's house. Oh, yes .. I entered first yes, achy," he said with a grim smile then left Bu Zahra in his place confused. Of course he would shy away from such statements. In essence, if the question is about her husband and her household then, she will divert it immediately.

But apparently, Ms. Zahra actually followed Yasmine to the table of the pregnant woman. Ms. Zahra was standing in front of the table. He turned to the right to the left, making sure that there was no one else but them. He moved his body when he thought it was safe.

"Sorry, Miss Yas. I just don't want you to get to my side. You see, my aunt said, the man had a wife of two," said Bu Zahra again slowly, like a whisper.

Yasmine looked at Bu Zahra without blinking, she was really confused about what to answer. Until in the end he patted his partner's arm hard. "Hahaha," Yasmine laughed. "Where is your aunt? It wasn't his wife, it was his sister's house, I used to go there" he continued with a very, very discordant laugh.

"Oh, that. Thank goodness she was his sister. As a friend I just don't want you to feel hurt." Bu Zahra nodded her head. "But, I see it's the same friendly woman you said was her sister," continued Zahra who still does not believe.

Yasmine sighed in annoyance. Then the woman did not care about what was becoming curious for the colleague. He was even upset and told Bu Zahra to sit in his chair because he would correct her work. Namu instead of sitting Bu Zahra instead stayed there and helped correct.

...❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️...

Until the afternoon, when he had returned to his home because indeed he had also said goodbye to the in-laws if he after teaching would go home alone. He was still thinking about what happened because the colleague was curious. She did not know how all the colleagues would react if they knew that she was only the second wife of her husband and the honey of her best friend.

Always feeling wrong, until finally he brought his body to move from his seat and took the car keys. He was very desperate to get out of the house by driving his own car, because the driver had gone home to his parents.

Without saying goodbye to Fifi's busy mbak in the back, he left the yard with his car.

The afternoon streets in the capital are quite crowded, making it necessary to slow down the pace of its vehicles. It's okay, he thought. The important thing is to arrive safely.

Until finally he arrived at a luxurious house without a fence, with a car that had been parked neatly there.

Yasmine got out of the car and started walking towards the house. The first thing he did was say hello, but there was no answer. Finally he continued his steps inward, while calling out someone's name.

However, his call was absolutely no one to answer. So he decided to find someone he wanted to ask his opinion in his room. "Maybe in the room" the woman muttered as she stepped up one step at a time. Yes, he came there to ask for an opinion on the matter that was convolving his mind.

...🖤💜💜🖤🖤💜💜🖤...

Meanwhile in a room. It turned out that the woman who was crying yesterday afternoon was crying too. The difference this time his cry was heard by the husband who finally made his cry even more broken in the warm embrace of the soulmate.

"If, I can't give you a child, like Yasmine, would you still love me, Mas?" alifa asked in her husband's arms.

"Shhh, what are you talking about, honey. You are my beloved, you have accompanied me for a long time. So, how could you ask that?" Alfin rubbed the back of the wife who was crying bitterly in her arms.

"If you were told to choose, who would you choose, Mom?" alifa's question confused Alfin. He did not answer, he only let out his tears because he was sad when his beloved wife looked so sad.

When he came home, he was so surprised

two days later, he did not find his wife welcoming him home. The man entered to find his wife. And he was so surprised when he found Alifa crying on the prayer mat by covering her face with both palms.

Then, the man approached and asked why the wife who usually looks so calm to shed tears. And Alifa also told, that she felt jealous of Yasmine's pregnancy, she also said that she was afraid that the husband would leave her because he could not give offspring.

Alfin's heart ached when he heard what the first wife said. He knows what it's like, but what can it be? The man can only calm down so that the first wife is not too much burden by thinking about things that he thinks are very unlikely.

"Jawab, Mom. Who will you choose?" alifa asked again when the husband was silent for so long.

Alfin took a deep breath, and closed his eyes with crystal clear drops coming out. "I'll stay with you, honey," replied Alfin as he hugged and kissed the first wife's head.
