The End of Hope
30 Eps. How to See the Good

Rudian and Dinda were both silent, still wanting to express their respective perspectives with the reality that happened. Rudian did not expect that this friend of his wife would dare to say negative things about him. While Dinda still does not think that it turns out that the man she has considered cheating is Naya's husband.

"Who do you call a husband, Naya?" the words Rudian and Dinda are together.

Hearing the words of her husband and high school friend, Naya laughed. Then straighten out the sentence by saying,

"Ah, yes, you are all my husbands. Dinda, my High School imaginary husband. Kanda my husband now."

Naya took a long breath. There was still a smile left. Then arrange the food on the table.

"You guys don't fight. Dinda. now I'm married, so we're just friends, Haha" Naya said again and sat down next to Rudian.

While Rudian and Dinda were still staring at each other, it was like there were millions of gunpowder they were ready to blast at the look in his eyes. Both men want to protect their loved ones.

"Kanda, it is better to pray first in the mosque" said Naya while removing her headscarf, she was ready to ablute and perform maghrib worship.

"Should I admit that I saw you cheating at the mall?" dinda said to Rudian, after Naya's death.

"I told you, just say it. Because Naya already knows everything" Rudian said calmly. That's reality.

"What?" said Dinda in disbelief, "Then he still treats you this well? That's right." said Dinda to her feet.

"Yes, I remarry." replied Rudian finally bluntly. He looks upset.

'Oh, right from now on Naya always says I'm polygamous, I'm polygamous. So this is what it means?'

"You, polygamy?" ask Dinda wonder.

"Yes, why?" asked Rudian with a bit of pride.

"You think you deserve to do that to Naya?" said Dinda while sweeping the view around the house.

'Aaahk...Is it because they have no children? Men are selfish...'

"This, my business. She's my wife.this is my household." replied Rudian ketus.

"Ck, tsk, tsk, what a pity for my wife" said Dinda, shaking her head.

Naya had finished cleaning herself, with ablution. He heard all the talk of his husband and friend. Actually, he himself shone with his fate. But he tried hard, lived it patiently and calmly.

"O Allah, let the world and pleasure be obtained by my husband, and simply give me a calm and heart that is never surprised" Naya said.

Actually, what makes humans look at something so they can judge something, appropriate or inappropriate is in terms of the world alone. While the yardstick of a good is not judged only by material goodness, right?

Naya finally came out from behind the kitchen door where the bathroom was, and said.

"What makes you judge me for pity?"

"Naya, you really know your husband's doing harm?" dinda asked with a frown.

"Yes. Polygamy. Let's pray first." said Naya while mnggamit Dinda's hand. While Rudian stared at Dinda briefly and then went to the mosque.

Naya and Dinda pray together. As soon as she finished, Dinda held onto her shoulder, looking straight at Naya as if impatiently wanting to say.

"Why did you let all this go, Nay? Are you not aware of your current situation?"

"Dinda, it's all happening. I didn't know before. It was an accident. What do you think I can do? I can't but accept."

"Nadiah... I see your situation is still very simple, but you are willing to be polygamous."

"Just let me be patient."

'About the three-month appointment Dinda doesn't need to know, right?'

"You're too good" said Dinda slowly.

"Call me if you need anything. I'll help you as much as I can." those were Dinda's last words before she left.

Goodness depends on how a person judges, depending on motivation and needs. It is better for people to see what they should see. And not just looking at what you want to see.

Naya thinks one thing, that when she feels sad, someone else cares about her. When he felt insignificant, someone else gave him a gift. And when her own husband delivered another woman, there were people who delivered her in nicer vehicles.

He felt grateful that God had moved the hearts of others to help him.

Never get tired of doing good, never wait for others to return good. For the good will come even from the unexpected, in unexpected ways, and at times that do not know when....

Rudian came home when Dinda was gone. He then enjoyed the meal that was served.

"No more contact with people like your friend" Rudian said after he finished eating. He said while leaning his body on the back of the sofa.

"Why, really. He was good at driving me home when my husband was delivering another woman" Naya said as she cleaned the dining table.

"You told me yourself, right?"

"Yes, that's to make it easier for you not to have to choose. So I'm the one who's gonna lose it." answered Naya.

'From the beginning, I gave up. And if no one wants to give up, how can polygamy. It always has to be so for everything to be okay.'

"You are, do not be pretentious if the end is not sincere" Rudian said again.

"Yes if I'm not sincere, teach dong I let me be sincere how? Is it your duty to educate your wife?"

"Ahk, I'm cape. Don't look for it . I don't want to fight."

'Who's fighting, si?'

"Here, for you. He said he needed a nightgown" Rudian said, handing over the package he had brought.

Naya opens it and sees a yellow negligee with a sweet batik motif. Different from the clothes he was interested in, but this is also a gift that is quite happy for Naya. To be happy for others is to be happy for yourself.

"Well, good, Nda. Thank you" said Naya. Then he tried his new clothes in front of the mirror, saying again to Rudian who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Say Yola, you get a bonus. What bonus?"

"When are you talking to Yola?"

"So, at the mall. Not intentionally. Are you going up in office, or moving parts?" naya's question was not answered by Rudian.

"If Kanda is still in a position that used to be just ordinary labor, where there are bonuses." Naya chimed in her own words. She turned to look at her husband and sat down next to him.

"Buy this shirt also from bonus money huh?" ask again.

Rudian remained silent, he thought how could Yola say something that she herself actually wanted to keep secret. He remembers telling Naya that if her income goes up, Naya does not need to work so she can rest a lot and get pregnant fast.

But that was before Yola was present in her life. Even his mother who promised to provide additional business capital has not given them anything.

"You don't need to hear obscure news from Yola like that. If I had more money for sure to love you" Rudian said as he grabbed his phone and went out of the house, he called Yola and said in a slightly snapping tone at Yola from his phone.

'What's the matter, why Kanda won't tell me if he raises his salary. No way Yola's lying. Or just want to make me hot, 'cause he's the only one who knows?'

Naya's feelings like being pinched again, she felt insignificant with Rudian's attitude like this.

-

The next day, Naya tries to contact some of her friends first at the company, whose cell phone number Naya still has. He tried to find out what exactly happened, because he was sure that Rudian would not tell the truth about this.

"Hello, anyway,... Ja. How's news?" naya asked as she started talking on the phone.
