The Second Wife
Sharing Grief

Today Salma seemed busy at her stall until she forgot that she had not had lunch until the time she had to close her stall. That's when his stomach began to protest because it was filled late. Salma employees who are like friends also tease the boss. Salma smiled at him too. When the employees started coming home after Salma locked her stall without her expecting someone to pull her hand violently.

"Basar women matre! I'm approaching Revelation because he's rich, right?" jolt of a young woman with glamour makeup.

"What do you mean?" ask Salma who does not want to be provoked by emotions.

"Mbak..mbak...I am not your mother! where appropriate I am called mbak mbak mbak jamu hah!"

"Well, maybe it's a modern herbalist" Salma said lightly.

"You!" show the woman at a loss for words.

"How dare you come here and disturb my future wife!" the revelation that is already there.

"Recidence!" exclaimed the woman in shock because she did not expect that the man was already there.

"Go!" throw away the Revelation with a horrible face.

"But..."

"Go now! or you'll get the payback!" exclaim Revelation.

It was with annoyance that the woman left the place. After the woman's departure Revelation immediately leads Salma to get into her car. Salma said without protest. When in the car, Salma's stomach again makes the atmosphere that was originally a little tense to be liquid.

"We're gonna eat first, okay?" bring the Revelation with a soft voice.

Salma only nodded slowly because she was still embarrassed by her stomach that could not be compromised. Arriving at his choice restaurant, Wahyu also encouraged Salma down. After entering the two directly order the food menu. The two seemed to agree not to discuss the woman's problem before the two finished eating.

After the two had finished their meal, Revelation immediately invited Salma to a place that she thought was good for both to speak. Revelation chose to go to the beach. Salma was very happy when they arrived by the beach. He has not been to the beach since his father died. Because his father used to take his family to the beach.

For a moment the two fell silent and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of the beach. Then Revelation invites Salma to sit under the tree on the shore.

"Salma ... are you mad at me for what the woman said?" ask Revelation.

"No. what do you do? there is no point in it. The most important thing for me is that you feel the same as me. The other I no longer care" said Salma.

"This once ... honestly I want to be selfish mas... am I wrong?" salma continued while looking at the Revelation.

"No. You are not wrong among us there is nothing wrong Ma.." said Revelation returned Salma's gaze.

Suddenly the Revelation drew closer to itself and hugged Salma's body tightly. Salma who did not expect the Revelation to do was silent. But then he returned the man's embrace.

"Why mas? is something bothering you?" her asked gently as she rubbed the back of the man who was starting to fill her heart.

"There's something I have to tell you about my past to you Ma.." said Wahyu, unraveling his embrace.

Salma fell silent and listened to what the Revelation wanted to say. After breathing out slowly, Revelation began to tell the incident when he was slandered by Friska the woman who had come to Salma. He revealed everything without any secrets even what he felt at that time he revealed to Salma.

Today Salma can see the fragility of Revelation as if traumatized by legal affairs. The incident when he had to be in custody made the man fragile. He did not expect to experience it because of the slander of people he considered friends. What else at that time was still relatively young 20 years old. Not to mention facing the ridicule of people who consider him a rapist even though it was ultimately not proven.

Salma embraced the now vibrating body of Revelation as she recalled her past. The man fell into Salma's arms. As if he had taken out a large stone that had been squeezing his heart, Revelation finally felt relieved.

"Thank you Ma. You have listened to my curses." said the Revelation is still in Salma's arms.

"Together mas.." said Salma softly.

The two also re-enjoiced the atmosphere of the beach which is now late in the afternoon. Even the two of them walked together on the beach while holding hands.

"Mas we better go home now.I'm afraid I'm worried" said Salma who realized the day was getting late.

"Alright, we go home now" said the Revelation.

At night when everyone was asleep, Gita was still standing on the balcony of her room. Today after the hospital and campus he wanted to enter he felt very tired but could not close his eyes.

Although Mr. Adi has promised to still treat him as his daughter despite whatever results from DNA tests they have done but still Gita feels uncomfortable. Since childhood, this time I had this feeling.

"Heh.. why it feels so painful when the test results have not come out.." sighed Gita.

"If it's true that I'm not a son of papa, too. What should I do? do you have to find out who my birth father is? what about Papa Adi?" mind churns.

He suddenly felt dizzy and decided to go into his room to rest.

Elsewhere, Adi also felt the same anxiety. His heart was rumbling imagining that there was a possibility that his two children were not his flesh and blood. He saw the face of Desi who was sleeping beside him.

"You may have slept well all this time Des!" batin pak Adi growled.

It's been a week since Mr. Adi and Gita did a DNA test. Today, both will know the outcome. Since morning Gita has been preparing his plan and Pak Adi will go to the hospital together. Both will reason if Gita wants to be escorted to college by Pak Adi. Indeed, Gita has applied for college and has started to follow her courses. But actually today he was in college.

Revelation is busy preparing for her marriage to Salma. Although Salma did not ask for her wedding to be called luxurious but Revelation wanted everything to be perfect so she herself who intervened to check all the preparations. Today she will also take Salma to the boutique in search of a wedding dress. Therefore after breakfast he immediately picked up his future wife.

When he arrived at Salma's house he was immediately greeted warmly by Rahma's mother. The middle-aged woman seemed to be eagerly preparing for Salma's wedding. Although it's her second marriage. But for Mama Rahma and Salma this is the first preparation for Salma because her marriage and Revelation were just formality without taste.

"Mom.. later the application event will be held one week before the agreement." said Wahyu.

"Well, for the sake of Revelation, the mother and the family just come with the wishes of the Revelation and the family" said Rahma.

"But... Has mama nak Wahyu given her blessing?" ask Rahma's mom.

He does not want the events that once happened to him with Adi again repeated in Revelation and Salma.

"Mom don't worry.mama will follow what papa said.." said the Revelation.

For Ms. Rahma the answer of Revelation hints that her mother still does not approve.But she does not want to ruin the happiness of Revelation and also Salma. Therefore he must tell Mr. Adi to be vigilant and keep his son so that things do not happen that are not desirable. With forced he who usually never checked his daughter's phone was finally looking for contact Pak Adi on Salma's phone when the girl was in the bathroom. Fortunately his daughter was right to keep Adi's number.

After Revelation and Salma left, Rahma called Adi's cell phone. But until the third call the man had not yet raised him. Finally he just type a message so that Pak Adi wants to see him.

Meanwhile, Mr. Adi and Gita are now in the doctor's room to read the results of DNA tests they do. That's why Mr. Adi has his cell phone. So he does not know if Rahma's mother contacted him.

"How did the doctor get the results?" ask Mr. Adi.

"Look sir. from the results of the tests that we have done then the sample of Adi and Wahyu pack shows that you are not a father and son.sorry" explained the doctor.

Although Mr. Adi had expected it but of course he still hoped for a miracle if the Revelation was his biological son. But the results of the DNA test had broken his expectations so much that disappointment was so noticeable on his face. So did Gita he also seemed shocked by the results shown by the doctor.

"Then what about the tests that I and Gita doctors did?" ask Adi again.

"For a test with a sample belonging to Mr. Adi with Gita shows that 99 percent of you are father and son." said the doctor who made Pak Adi and Gita hug each other.

"You're my daughter, really my daughter." said Mr. Adi while framing Gita's face with both palms.

"Yes father.." said Gita with tears of happiness.

The father and son hugged each other long enough. Until finally Mr. Adi broke his embrace.

"Doctors can keep this from others, right?"

"Of course Mr. Adi, we will keep the results of this test confidential" said the doctor who understands Mr. Adi's wishes.

The two finally came out of the doctor's room with mixed feelings.
