The End of Hope
24 EPS. Love Is A Word

After getting the desired answer, Naya hung up her mobile phone again. He went into the room and cleaned his bag. She tidied up her headscarf and appearance then stepped out looking for a taxi.

On the way, Naya just threw a glance out the window, enjoying the quiet atmosphere, the atmosphere that now feels familiar in his heart, met with sad fanfare and despair. Desperate to love one's husband and return his true love only to Naya.

He remembered, all because it was triggered by the desire of his mother-in-law who likely made Rudian have a chance to share love. Naya actually knew she could not blame others for the fate that befell her.

"Already, until miss." said the taxi driver who looks old. He looked at Naya who was sitting in the back seat.

"Oh, I am." said Naya stammered. He wandered all the way.

After paying the taxi fare, Naya entered a beautiful and cool courtyard. There are some clothes that appear to be drying in the yard. That's Farah's house her faithful friend called her, over the phone. They have not worked as factory workers for two years.

Naya knocked on the door and they hugged once the door opened. Farah let her in after answering Naya's greeting. Farah's three-year-old son was running towards the two of them.

Farah's husband works as a teacher in one of the public schools, while Farah decided to no longer work after giving birth and chose to become an MLM businessman as a side job.

"Farah, how are you? Well, yeah, your son?"

"Thank God, Nay. How are you, like, still a cook?"

"Still, now that I'm deliberately taking a day off, I want to see you. Kangen." said Naya again hugging Farah.

"I feel at home, the restaurant work because always eat for free" said Naya again.

They both laughed for a moment, then decided to make tea in the kitchen. Not wanting to bother, Naya prepared her own drink. She felt a little free because Farah's husband was at work.

"Sorry, yes Nay. You make your own drinks." said Farah while taking care of the baby.

"It's okay. I'm the one who's sorry about bothering you, but it's still morning."

"Ah, not really. I'm really grim. There's a chatter buddy."

"Fars. What would you do if you knew your husband was married again...?"

Hearing Naya's words, Farah was stunned and knitted her two eyebrows together. He had been suspicious about Naya's question, because by chance he had seen Rudian's husband Naya was holding a woman's friendly hand, at that time in a mall not far from the location of the Company where Rudian worked.

"What is Nay? You have to be honest with me. You see.." said Farah hesitated, because he saw the look on Naya's face suddenly turned sad.

'What woman did I see first that was Rudian's second wife?'

"Rudian marry again, Far. Even his wife is now pregnant. Kasian is me!" naya said while laughing sarcastically.

"Patience, Naya, not being able to get pregnant is not your fault. As humans, we can force things like that."

Farah approached Naya and hugged Naya back, until Naya sobbed in her arms. Farah let her best friend spill all her annoyance and fear by giving peace. As his best friend, that is all he can do.

"Farah, what do you think I should do? Until now I've accepted him"

"Naya, are you sorry? You are amazing. May your charity be received, Naya.... Forgiving that kind of thing is not easy. Letting a husband remarry is the toughest test for a woman. So if he can live it sincerely, he can get the title of celestial angel in the world."

"Farah, I don't agree Rudian to marry again. I'm just letting it go because the woman is pregnant and I don't want them to continue with the heinous act.."

"Naya, what you're doing is right. Any woman who wants her husband to share love. Maybe if I were you, I'd ask for a divorce."

"Ah, you are this. When you want to divorce your husband when you have children. Usually most women choose to stick around because it's for the sake of the kids."

"Yes, too. But I just imagined being you, Nay. You have to work to compensate for household expenses, and Rudian you think Rudian does not give much to live because you still have home installments, even you are not pregnant. But you decided to stay. If it was me, then I wouldn't be strong."

"The test of our lives may be different, but God knows which test He wills. Maybe God rated me strong, but it felt... Farah...." Naya is back sobbing.

"Naya, if it is your decision to stay, then strengthen yourself. Patience with all sincerity."

"Hehe.ikhlaa it's not easy either, it feels like I want to curse all the time. Why should I be experiencing this? Wh why? But we can't possibly protest with fate."

"Actually if it is true, the husband must not force the will. The good thing is that he must ask permission first to his first wife. Because in the household there must be honesty, if you do not want to continue to lie and sin during polygamy, you must be honest."

"Yes, most of them don't understand, but keep saying it's a man's right, religion allows, and so on. There are some conditions though. Especially be fair. Can they be said to be fair if always demanding his wife always understand...?"

"Well, you are an understanding wife." said Farah, pinching Naya's cheek.

"Ah. Sick, know?"

Farah smiled as she held the little boy in her chair. Enjoy the food at the table.

"I think I should cheer you up, Nay. Wanna come with me to the carnation? let's get on my bike there, how? Make entertainment." said Farah invites her best friend to entertain her.

"Can. Now?"

"Yes. When again. Come onl. I finished my son's stock, huh?"

While Farah takes care of a few things, Naya invites Farah's daughter to play. Suddenly her memory takes her to Yoni. Akh, that sweet kid is like a keychain hanging from Naya's brain and locking her up.

'I don't think he went to the restaurant, did he? I wonder why I remember the same boy. Hey, he doesn't have anything to do with me, does he?'

After a long wait, Farah was done with her preparations, she carried a sizable bag that she had stored in the trunk of her motor matick. Then put it on the road to a place that Farah hopes can give a little freshness to Naya's mind.

The motor is traveling at a moderate speed, they go through it with a little laugh and typical female small talk. Until finally they arrived at an Anyeir beach.
