The End of Hope
52 Eps. Undecided

Sella sat in front of Sarita after touching her and kissing her hand. Her mother-in-law looked furrowed her brows in order to look at Naya who looked uninspired. In addition to being tired after work, Naya is also tired of overcoming her anxiety.

Now the mother of Rudian, whom he had considered his own mother, was sitting in front of him. Looking at his daughter-in-law while saying,

"What business are you here for, Nay. Tumbens."

"Do I have any new business to visit my mother?" naya asked as she spread her eyes across the room, then asked,

"Sleeping, ma'am. Where's Sania?"

"Go to the invitation of bu ustadz, his son circumcised," answered Sarita.

"Oh. But mom's fine, right. Why aren't you there?"

"Malas if only circumcision. Then if you go there also can not see you now," Sarita said while opening the screen of her phone. Then he asked, "You're alone, Nay?"

'You know, ask'

"Yes, mom. Ordinary, Kanda is now back and forth with Yola. I want you, send me but rarely now. I often ride the motorcycle. Here also take a taxi online," replied Naya, complaining to her mother.

"Yes, you're patient. His name is also your husband not only takes care of you. Especially Yola's pregnant."

"I have the same rights, Mom. I should have changed dong. So Naya also asked mom to nasehati kanda, she's mom's son."

"From the beginning you accepted, right? surely you are ready with all the risks" Sarita said while keeping her phone on the table. Then fold your hands in front of your chest.

'Yes, it happened first, she said'

"Mothers. Much the same. Kanda must also be ready to accept that his wife is jealous or angry, about her living, must be fair, ma'am. Don't keep demanding I understand."

Hearing Naya's words, Sarita threw away her gaze with a smile. Then said,

"You, Nay. Do you have your own income, why confused about living..? if you are patient, the reward is not for others, but for yourself. Especially as Muslims, doing good is worship. Let alone doing good to the closest people."

'Mom alone has this kind of opinion, how can it support me and keep me?'

"Mom, not that I do not need a reward, do not want to worship or do not want to do good. But as a husband who does polygamy must be fair," Naya said with restraining her wrath.

"Ah, I can't believe that Rudian has been unfair to you, Nay. Continuing about the living, Rudian also said to the mother that this month he reduced the ration of the mother, he said to you," said Sarita rather upset, because according to him the pardon of his son became reduced because of Naya.

At the payday yesterday, Naya received the monthly money promised Rudian to increase spending money on daily needs. In fact, Naya felt better that she did not accept the money because with her receiving it, it means she must be willing to take full responsibility for household needs including food for Yola. But on the other hand, Naya can save a little money and he can save for his own purposes.

Naya chooses to see, to the extent of her strength to be patient, confront her husband and her honeymoon. All this time he can still put down all the painful things because he is still strong. She can tolerate her husband's attitude.

So, now Naya manages the money of hundreds of thousands from her husband for purposes that she can buy on a monthly basis. So he spent it all at once to have his heart calm down. Naya charges the electricity token and pays a clean water bill for one month, rice, oil, soap and other necessities.

'Where do I know the money is from reducing mother's rations'

"Mom, I'd like to ask you about my promise two months ago when Yola's mom officially became a daughter-in-law, do you remember?"

"Of course, I remember. You're not pregnant, are you menstruating again. Aye right?" sarita asked with a small laugh.

'Mom's guess is right. Ahk, I shouldn't have come here, astagfirullah'

"Hey, Naya. You should know yourself, don't make promises. If you want to go, go" Sarita said again, waving before Naya. Then he said again,

"Then, it's not wrong to choose a second wife. Beautiful, fine, not barren. Yola also works, so she's a lot more than you." Sarita was still chattering, Naya could not stop her mother-in-law's talk because it was disrespectful.

'Stagfirullah, I know myself, ma'am. Don't tell me who hurt me too I realized. Indeed Kanda was looking for a wife who made me seem to have no right to be jealous' Naya's inner self held back tears.

Naya didn't expect Sarita to say that. Painful words that came out of the mouth of a woman he already considered his mother.

"Continue coming here to say goodbye, is that it?" tanya Sarita ended her scolding.

'Actually I want to ask my mother to want to forget all my words, let's just say I never said it like that. I still love the kanda, still want to be with him, I want to be retained as his wife. I am his rightful wife'

"Mom, kanda's legitimate wife is me. I should have been defended and treated well. I have helped Kanda a lot as his wife. But it turned out that mom didn't love me just because I couldn't get pregnant yet, as if that deficiency was my fault. I never asked to be destined to be a barren woman, not a peenah... All God's will, ma'am."

Hearing Naya's words, Sarita fell silent then, picked up her phone that vibrated the sign of a message coming in. He looked at the phone screen and asked,

"Mother is not guilty of your destiny, but what do you call a person who can not have children if not barren? I'm right, right?"

Naya took a deep breath as the sound of the motor stopped in Sarita's courtyard, along with a loud shout from the voice of a man calling out Yola's name.

"Yola! Yola!"

"Go! Yola doesn't want to!"

"Yola!!!"

Naya got out of her chair and stepped out in curiosity, as did Sarita.

A bald, stocky man was sitting on his motorcycle, blocking the motorbike driven by Rudian and Yola. He tried to hold Yola's hand but Rudian stopped him.

'This is especially coincidental. Calm down Naya, everything will be fine'

The quarrel provoked the attention of the surrounding residents who appeared to come out of their homes. There are even some bikers who stop the pace of their vehicles to see this incident.

Rudian descended, as did Yola who stood behind Rudian in a protective manner.

"What do you mean, he hasn't finished iddah?!" ask Rudian ketus. He looked at the bald man in front of him in annoyance, his fingers clenched.

"Yes. She's been divorced for three months. Basic flirty man, seductive wife man!!" answer the man.

"Genit, you said!" said Rudian then,

Bukk! One punch landed on the man's face from Rudian's hand. The man saw his body tilted slightly as it held the fist from Rudian.

"Abang! It's already! Don't fight here. Shame on!!" peekik Yola tried to hold Rudian's body from behind.

"Bad you are, yes!" the man shouted then,

Bukk!

The raw bogem landed, he retaliated against Rudian's punch. Suddenly Rudian fell down because of an unprepared position. But quickly he stood up then,

Shuuts. Dukkkk! A kick hit Rudian's stomach. But Rudian retaliated with a fist that he placed towards the bald man's stomach. The man repelled her then retaliated with a single blow on Rudian's chest. They're fighting. Pummel each other.

"Toggles!!" naya and Sarita shouted out of the house and tried to break them up. Everyone looked towards the two women.

"Mrs?" the words Rudian and Yola are together. They're shocked.

The two of them did not expect to meet Naya, at her mother's house because this was a very embarrassing thing for Rudian and Yola. They accidentally meet and Yola's ex-husband who claims to have changed from being rude and wants Yola back because he still loves her. The man promised to make Yola happy. But Yola refuses and turns out the man is after them.

Rudian Sada could not easily escape from the pursuit of the man. Rudian chose to go to his mother's house, fearing that Naya would become an additional problem for him. But instead they meet with Naya when they get to Sarita's house.

Sometimes it's like that, right? When someone tries to avoid something, but instead he meets something that has been avoided. This may be interpreted with as much effort as a person can to hinder the impudence, he will not be able to unless Allah wills.

"Stop!" naya said as she pulled the man's body from her husband's body.

Naya pushed the man strongly, her strength was quite great as it was filled with anger. Angry that she saw her husband beaten just for defending a woman like Yola. And what makes Naya even more angry is that she heard that Yola was in contact with her husband when his childhood was not over. What's this. Is this not a greater sin?

The burden of feeling facing her in-laws has not been overcome, now having to see something as embarrassing as this. Making Naya no longer able to hold back her tears. He cried, took it out in front of everyone. He did not care to be said to be weak, because all this time he did not want Yola to see herself shed tears.

The two men had stood up straight again even though they were still facing each other with hateful gazes.

"Otherwise now, Kanda? What!" said Naya. "Is it true that Yola wasn't officially divorced?"

"Yola! Please, baby. I love you, I love you." said the man now he could hold Yola's hand but the woman brushed him off.

Rudian was confused, he saw between a crying Naya or Yola who was being seduced by her ex-husband.

"Naya, you don't make things worse! Here you are!" said Sarita pulling Naya's body that was shaken by the crying.

Naya evaded Sarita's hand, so she took only a few steps back from her husband. Then stood looking at the three people who were fighting in front of him. And finally all let the two husbands and wives solve their problems.

"No, want! I'm looking for Rudi. Bang Rudi has a home. Bigger than you!"

"I want to buy a house now, too, Yol!! I work now! I've been nagging you everywhere, Yola. I love you" said the man still trying to hold Yola's hand.

"But I'm pregnant, I'm already pregnant son bang Rudi!"

"Are you sure the boy is this boy? We split up that time you haven't been three months, Yola!"

"No. Not wrong, you just miscalculated!" yola replied while hugging Rudian's arm.

Unable to hear the man's words, Naya walked up to Rudian. She looked at her husband with tears.

"Kanda! Didn't you ask about Yola's status at the time?" said Naya. Rudian just kept quiet, he did not ask about Yola's status, because he thought that Yola was still a girl until the relationship happened.

"Who, you! don't interfere in my business. This guy took my wife, you know!"

"I'm his legal wife!" answer Naya ketus. Hearing Naya's words, the bald man laughed out loud.

"Yola. Even you were made a mistress, ha?! You better come back with me. If you are like me, I will make you my only woman. You know, Yola. I like to be rude, I don't have a lot of money, but I never thought about finding another woman besides you!"

"Enough! Life doesn't just need love!" answer Yola ketus.

"You must be sorry, Yola! Look, my new bike. Now I have a good job. I like to be rude because I'm stressed, I don't have a job. Look at me now, I'd like to buy a house too!"

"But I love Rudi!'

"The woman is better off living with a man who loves her than just being made a mistress, when will you be made her mistress, ha?!"

"I'm not a mistress. Bang Rudi married me legally."

"You think it's legal, but you're still my wife? I also marry you legally, legally, religiously. What else is less?" said Yola's ex-husband with pongah.

"Do you want to buy a house too?"
