The Second Wife
Congratulating

A man was checking on the bubu that he had installed since yesterday. He hoped to get a lot of fish so he could sell and get money to buy rice. Already two bubu that he checked and the results are good, the drum used oil where put the fish caught today is almost full. The man hummed cheerfully as he walked towards the last bubu which he placed somewhat into the middle of the river.

Only fallen tree trunks that cross the river flow become a barrier so that the lathe he installed is not washed away by the river current. When he arrived at the place where he put his last bubu how surprised he was when he saw a human body stuck right in the place where he put the bubble. For fear that the man immediately ran towards his village without first examining the figure of the body. The drum where the fish was kept was left on the river bank.

"Please! help u! there's bodies!" he screamed along the road he was on.

Residents who heard his screams immediately rushed out of their homes. While the man continued to run towards the house of the village head. When he got there, he immediately told him what he had seen. Then along with the village head and other residents they were escorted by the man to where he found the human body. Soon some residents tried to remove the body in the middle of the river. When it was placed by the river then they knew if the woman was still alive even though very weak. What else turns out that the woman is also in a state of great pregnancy.

In unison, the residents immediately brought the woman's body to the village head's house to get help. Another resident went to the village midwife to check on the woman's health. After being replaced by clothes and examined by midwives, the woman began to wake up. Slowly the woman began to blink and opened her eyes.

"Shhhh...!" groaning lirih.

The midwife who had been taking care of him immediately approached the woman.

"Thank God you're sober" he said with relief.

"In...where am I?" said the pregnant woman with a confused look staring at her surroundings.

"We are in the house of the head of Sekayu village. earlier you were found unconscious drifting in the river by one of the residents here.." explained the soft midwife.

"What exactly happened until you got washed up in the river?" ask the midwife again.

The woman seemed to think while holding her head. A flash of drifting began to appear in his memory. The face of a middle-aged woman who looked at him with a cruel and seductive gaze said the woman who did not want her presence and also the baby in her womb. Instantly he held his stomach. When he realized that his stomach was still bloated with a small kick of his baby made the woman immediately exhaled a sigh of relief.

"Just relax..The baby in your womb is fine..it is actually a miracle if you and your baby can survive. because when you find your condition is very alarming..." keep the midwife.

"Thank you." said the woman sincerely.

"Sama-sama... oh yes... What is your name? introduce my name Ningsih. Just call Ning" the midwife said as she extended her hand.

"Salma... My name is Salma.." Salma said to welcome the hand of Ning midwife.

"Then you eat first so that you will recover quickly." said Midwife Ning while taking the porridge on the nightstand and preparing to feed Salma.

"Sa.. I can eat by myself.." declined the unpleasant Salma if it had to be fed by Ning's midwife.

"Well, eat a lot after that drink the vitamins that I have provided..."

Salma also obeyed. He slowly started eating the porridge that was given by Midwife Ning. His hungry stomach made Salma immediately finish the porridge. After that, he took vitamins given by Ning midwife.

"Hows it? did it feel better?"

"Yes..."

He knew that Salma might be traumatized by what happened to him. Salma breathed heavily. In his heart he hesitated to tell the Ning midwife he had just met. But if not he was afraid that someday he would cause trouble to his helpers. Finally, he finally told what had happened to him honestly to Midwife Ning. He also hopes that the woman can help him find the best way for his problems with Missi. Because even though he did not want the woman who had given birth to her husband later went to prison.

Although he also can not forget what has been done by the middle-aged woman on him and also the baby in the womb.

"I think it's better we call your family... and if you're still afraid that your mother-in-law is going to hurt you again, it would be nice if you were also honest about her treatment of you to your family if you needed to report your in-laws to the authorities... not that I told you to put your mother-in-law in jail, but her actions were criminal." said Midwife Ning softly.

He knows from the way Salma talks and attitudes seen if the woman is not the type of person who is easy to bear in others even though he himself has been hurt by the person.

"Hows it? do you want me to call your family now?"

"Well Ning. You can call my mother's cell phone number, but don't tell me if you know the cause of me here because of my mother-in-law's treatment. I just don't want to add to my mother's panic..." salma said at last.

Then he mentioned his mother's mobile number to Ning's midwife who immediately recorded it and immediately contacted Rahma's mother. It did not take long Ning midwife's call was answered by Rahma's mother. With caution the young midwife also told about the discovery of Salma in her village. He also explained that Salma was safe and healthy despite suffering injuries while washed away in the river. Likewise with the baby in the womb who is also healthy.

Over there, Rahma sounded very happy and grateful that her eldest daughter had been found and was safe and healthy. The revelation that was beside Rahma and listened to her mother-in-law's talk also felt very grateful and happy. He even requested that Rahma's mother give him her phone so that he could talk directly to Ning's midwife.

"Mother midwife..can I talk to my wife?" he said it immediately as Rahma gave her the phone.

Midwife Ning immediately agreed to it and gave her phone to Salma who had been sitting next to Ning midwife.

"Assynoltom..."

"Waalaikum salam.

"Mas... Have you realized?" salma said when she heard her husband's voice.

"Yes, baby.. Where are you? mas kangen.." said Revelation.

"I miss you too." Salma replied with tears.

"Tell me where you are now, my dear. mas will follow you..."

"But what about your health?"

"You take it easy. mas it's okay. Now tell me where you are now..."

"I don't know either. let Midwife Ning explain..."

Then Salma returned Ning's midwife's phone. And the ning midwife then told him where the village was in Revelation. Before ending his phone connection, Wahyu thanked his wife's helper and said he would come to get Salma soon.
