The Woman of My Past
Episode 10 Meeting
"I'm sorry, Mr. Rudyanto, if I may know why you're crying?"
"Your mother Azqiya Saphyra is my former wife who went missing due to the conflict of my time living in Papua and you are my missing biological child. I've been looking for you all this time but I haven't seen you in 20 years." Mr. Rudyanto's tears still continue to melt at will.
"Ja...ja...ja...so...pak Rudyanto is my birth father whom I have been looking for?" My tears are pooling in my eyelids.
"How's your mom doing, son?"
"Mother died sir, 1 year ago." Sad say.
"Died because of what?"
"heartache. I always think about Liana's father and sister who lost due to the conflict in Papua. I often cry alone on my pillow. Mom suffered from heart disease. Oh yes sir, Liana's younger sister who is a 1-month-old baby father name it? My father and mother had not given my sister a name. Is he still alive?" Ask Liana.
"Alhamdulillah is alive. You give him the name Fira."
My heart rages between sad, happy, angry into one.
"I'm sorry, I remarried for your sister so that someone took care of your sister who was 1 month old at the time. Because of the impossible naval duty of carrying a baby. I've been looking for your mother and Liana's son for 20 years." Said Mr. Rudyanto with a trembling tone while shedding tears. His eyes glared away reminiscing about the past.
"Yes sir, Liana understood, I said I went home because there is still something Liana has to do." I hugged my father so tightly that it didn't feel like 1 hour. The yearning of 20 years of separated sons and fathers is rife.
"Yes, son, here's your phone number, call your dad so we can see you again. Play here often. His second wife also died 1 month ago. You feel very lonely. While your little sister never came back here because of the American promiscuity."
I speak a thousand languages. It's like my body doesn't have a skeleton anymore. A gray aura emanated from my body. My step was slow when I left Mr. Rudyanto's house.

I reached Turtle Bay, my home. I saw Bram Sinaga, my husband who was sitting.
"Sorry, I'd like to ask for a divorce from you properly."
"You can't be polygamous with Fira mas. Fira is my real sister. In Islam, you must not collect a brother in one marriage. Except in the past, as the story of his wife Caliph Uthman bin Affan had a wife Umm Kulsum and Rukoyah who were his younger siblings.
"Iniloh mas in the Qur'an is described in the letter of An-Nisa verse 23." I showed the Quran app on my smartphone while reading it.
"...And (forbidden) gather (in marriage) two sisters, except that which has happened in the past. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
My husband suddenly took a knife from his pocket and stabbed me in the stomach.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear your talk anymore! I've been heartbroken with you because my title was demoted to admin! I want to marry you just because you have so many treasures! If you die, your treasure must be for your husband!" Speak to my husband in a cruel tone.
***
Seriate.
Will Liana survive the stabbing of Bram's wrathful knife because she can no longer control Liana's treasure?
We are waiting for the next episode.:).
