The Wives Injured

The Wives Injured
silence without a sound



...''remember neng, the nature of a person can not be seen from the outside, we do not know the contents of the heart of people, so do not fully trust anyone who does not know well, keep a distance and be alert''....


...''right what om said, has been a lot of events, from bude ira until now still remains the same''....


^^^''is madam azizah ever contact her family who are in the village''.^^^


...''I don't know om, I never thought that way, I don't think he has his family's phone number''....


^^^'neng now everything can happen, what is impossible can be possible, he holds a mobile phone, it could be so he searches for the whereabouts of his brother or nephew he still remembers''.^^^


...''could be om, I'll investigate everything''....


^^^''then om pamit first, remember the message om, beware of the people around you,om fear he is more venomous than a snake.''^^^


I think the talk about heru has a point, so long as this mother can be said to be very closed, there has never been more open communication with me, only if necessary she spoke.


...''our pack went straight home''.on the driver who was driving. ...


^^^''ready boss''.^^^


at exactly three o'clock to the house, alfiza and haikal were fighting in the side garden, until mother like snapping haikal.


...''what's this,why mother until hands with haikal''....


^^^''he fought continuously in katuin''. while looking cynically into the haikal.^^^


...''what to do by hitting the mother, what can not just say ''....


^^^''he snapped alfiza neng, so mother hit him''.^^^


...''but don't have to hit so, what's the truth, try to explain ''....


silence no one answered.


^^^'' It's fine if no one wants to talk, maybe I don't need to know about your problems, just continue, sorry if it bothers ''^^^


it turns out this is what it feels like to be unassumed, to feel this chest, take me pat my chest and I leave the three of them.


I love and I defend my own mother and sister, so they never think I exist, well, you keep your distance, then I'll stay away from you.


*****


adzan maghrib reverberated from the mosque end of the alley.


tock...


...''neng, can haikal enter''....


^^^''enter, what's the matter?''.^^^


...''forgive haikal neng, so forced not to answer the question neng''....


^^^''it's okay, it's all over, it's your mother's and son's business, it's just outsiders''.^^^


...''not so neng, tadi alfiza forced haikal to come tomorrow, haikal did not want''....


^^^''why not, they are your mother and sister, they are more entitled to appeal to the neng who is only a half-brother''.^^^


...''for haikal neng is the brother of haikal, neng has saved us, neng has guided us, if there is no neng, no matter what the fate of me and alfiza, especially with the condition of the mother of that time''....


^^^''alah, it does not need to be discussed again, even if it was someone else, neng will also do the same, surely neng help as well''.^^^


...''but neng''...


...''haikal will remain here neng''....


^^^"yes we have prayed first, then after dinner we talk together if you want to stay here talk well later in person''.^^^


..." good neng, but if you are angry again how neng"....


^^^"neng who will face mother".^^^


dinner these few days was like no one knew each other.silence and focus on each other's plates.


...''after the meal please gather in the family room".take me a drink of water. ...


no need to wait long for everyone to gather.


^^^" This is a letter of land that is there, later when you are there there will be someone who measures the garden to be divided into two and the rice fields and neng asked for,part for your order do not ask, if anyone is asked please reveal ".^^^


..."mother just a proposal, the rice fields for pesantren are wide, what if for pesantren in just a few hectares, the rest is in for two"....


^^^" it seems that the mother does not understand what lhatifah is talking about, the mother of the land in the pesantren belongs to abah and umy, there is no alfiza or haikal name, even my name does not exist, either,it was specifically for pesantren and helping the underprivileged".^^^


..."that rice field is broad, son, what is not dear"....


^^^" sorry mother, it is a field of reward for umy and abah, so I ask not to be taken or in trouble".^^^


..."yeah can't be so son, ease those who enjoy"....


^^^" even if I take it back it is my right as a child umy can not be bothered, so I hope mother and others follow what I say,do not try to take what I forbid ".^^^


..." loh alfiza and haikal are also abah's children, what's wrong if they get a part"....


^^^"actually the mother already knows the problem why they do not get a part, what need lhatifah explain".^^^


..." Yeah explain so everybody knows why you can't get "...


^^^"well, from here I conclude that in fact all who want is mother not alfiza or haikal, either,they both had apple orchards and vineyards were quite extensive than the rice fields and the marriage of mother and brother was just under the hand, meaning only religious marriage,so according to the law all my inheritance rights, so I'm the one who decides everything, and you need to know the actual apple orchards and grapes all in the name of you, because the will they got a part, because the will,if my heart is ugly, I will master it".^^^


..."so actually".said alfiza. ...


^^^"right, so do not take what I did not give, otherwise I will take it all back".^^^


alfiza was silent at once, no matter what she thought.


mother just kept quiet without a sound, after what I said.


..." These letters please save, after all clear you will get a land deed each, once again apologize can not deliver, let the neng men who deliver "....


no one speaks, all drifting with their own thoughts"


^^^"haikal does not want to join the mother".sambut lowered his head. ^^^


..." why "...


^^^"because I did want to stay here to finish college, and stay here forever, let alfiza take care of you, and I'm with neng".^^^


..." We manage the garden together, your result is for two".said mother while staring intently at the haikal. ...


^^^"sorry mother haikal has not been able to manage all that, because there is also no experience, so let the haikal part in the management of neng, I accept the results only".^^^


" why do you really ngeyel, want to hit again the same mother".sudden alfiza stood pointing towards the haikal.
