Wife Who Was Sold.

Lamentations Tanti.

" Oh..." I screamed when I fell.

My feet feel so sore. It was so dark that I didn't see the front. All I have in mind is to find Aurel and meet my heart.

I cried when I saw fresh blood running down my legs. It does feel. My body is now shivering. I don't know how much longer I can survive the rain.

My leg was scratched by that tree branch.

I look up at the sky, I fight the rain that hits my face. I hope to the power, that I may be given fortitude for my test at this time.

The greatest test of my life, must be a neglected wife, because my own husband sold me. He gave up my body to have another man.

"That is...!!! I hate you ! Mr. Arka.I hate you! you guys are so kind to me. You separated me from Aurel. Just look, you guys will definitely regret for having wronged a weak woman like me. Where is your conscience. Men are really selfish...!. Look, hell awaits you both!" I cried out in the depths of the night, as my hands washed my face in the rain.

"O Allah strengthen me. Give me the patience to live this trial of my life. I'm sure you're the most just God. I'm sure you will return Aurel to me." I asked the Maha to know.

My legs really hurt. But I was relieved, because I was away from the apartment.

Now it's time for me to take myself to safety. I wish there would be someone good to help me. I also put my foot back on. I'll find my baby soon.

****

The sun appeared to rise perfectly. I'm still sleeping in the store.

A man of stout stature, and bushy mustache, patted my cheek.

" Neng, wake up Neng...!" said later.

I also opened my eyes.

"Eh Sir. Sorry I overslept." I said as I sat up.

"Neng, I want to open a shop, please Eneng move first to sleep" said the man.

"Well sir." I replied.

I too, after a night in the store, went back to look for my Aurel.

I still hold the pain in my leg.

" Where should I look for Aurel. My aurel must be kept in a hidden place. How could I find him." I said as I walked back down the street.

But I'm not giving up. No matter how I am a mother, no mother will give up on keeping her child by her side.

"Where am I going now. I can't go home to my house. There must be a brother there. If I go there, it means I'll turn myself over to the demon guy. And I won't be able to go home to my in-laws or to my brother. You'll find me." I said in the middle of the street.

I walked down a polluted road. I didn't feel like the sun was right over my head.

Time has shown at 12 noon. Soon the dzuhur adhan will reverberate. I walked towards a mosque. I'll have prayer time. While I glorify the name of the Almighty.

A single tear fell on my cheek. I sat in front of the mosque.

"Neng, let's pray. Prayers are about to begin." Said a middle-aged woman who was in full effect.

He smiled at me.

I also returned his smile.

"My book is dirty, ma'am, I haven't cleaned myself yet" I said.

"Yes, you wait here. I'm gonna go home for a minute to get some clothes for you." Said the middle-aged mother.

She left and came back after getting clothes for me.

"This is my son, put it on! In this mosque there are many mukenas. Wear it!"

"I'm sure Ma'am" I said as I grabbed the mother's shirt.

I then perform the prayer. After that, I folded back my face and I put it in the usual place.

"Son, did he pray.?" ask that mother to me.

I'm nodding.

"Yes, Mom already. Thank you for lending me your clothes."

"Yes, just wear it, son, it's for you."

I smile. After I faced the Khalik, my mind felt calmer.

"Mother stay first."

After finishing the gathering, the mother returned to her home. Now I'm back alone. It's time I got up and looked for my son.

***

I continued my steps, I walked down the street again.

kriyuk...

I held my stomach. I started to feel hungry because since this morning, I haven't eaten.

"I'm hungry, but what do I want to eat. I don't have a penny either." Mumbles.

I also took my shirt pocket. I found ten thousand. I smiled too.

"Thank God, hopefully this is enough to buy bread." My words are full of gratitude.

I also went to a store. I bought bread there .

"Would I be full if I only ate bread all day? But it's okay. Than I don't eat. Later I will be sick." I said while looking at the bread that cost five thousand.

I also sat in the store.

Suddenly I was approached by a grandfather. That old grandfather, was a beggar. And that grandpa, he hasn't eaten in two days.

grandfather was his life more attentive. It's harder than my life right now.

"Geez, Grandpa, what a pity. Yes, this is I have bread, maybe it can to prop up grandfather's stomach. Eat Cake! " i said that I finally handed the only bread to the grandfather.

I then got up and stepped towards the warteg. Hope there's a warteg seller who wants to be kind to me.

"What do you want to eat Neng?"

"I only have five thousand Ma'am's money" I said as I offered five thousand.

"Well, it's just rice for Neng" said the warteg's mother.

I'm thinking.

"Yes Mom, how about I pay for helping you here" I said later.

The mother was silent. He also seemed to think.

"Well, you'll help me till the afternoon. It just so happens that my daughter is gone. Usually when he's home, he helps me here."

" Oh yes, ma'am."

Thank goodness that lecture I kept saying. It turns out that along the way I searched for Aurel, I was always met with good people like the mother who was in the mosque, and the mothers of the warteg.

Maybe this is all the wisdom behind the test I'm facing right now. I don't know when this exam will end. And what I am learning from this life is to learn to be patient to accept the situation and to learn to be sincere in accepting all the destiny that God has given me.
