The Struggle of the Sick Wife
Third Man

***

It did not feel that time went so fast, the days changed months and months changed with the year, and the year changed with the year.so did Ayu's marriage, now, Ayu's marriage has entered its third year.

During the nearly three years of Ayu's marriage, many lessons and life journey in the marriage through Ayu. travel as a wife as well as a young mother. Ayu currently has a son named Ahmad Ilham, the fruit of her love with her husband, and now the age of Ayu's son has reached the age of one year.

Ayu also now has a small house, which was built behind the house of the mother.even though the house built Ayu and her husband are still hitchhiking on the family land, the family, but Ayu remains grateful for her current circumstances.

After Ayu gave birth to her son, Ayu and her husband decided to move to Ayu village. On the grounds that Ayu will be a little helped in taking care of her first son. Understandably, Ayu, at the age of Ayu who was only 17 years old, Ayu has had a child.and of course Ayu still does not have much knowledge in caring for children.

What's more, bang lutfi who can not always be with Ayu. Ayu's husband will go home only on weekends, and will return again on the morning of the weekday. only when the husband is on leave, Ayu can be with the husband for almost two weeks.

During the three years of marriage, there were many problems - problems that occurred in Ayu's married life.Disputations and disagreements were frequent, too, this is common in household life.

Until one day, when Ayu felt a change in the self bang Lutfi.bang Lutfi who never ignored the son when he was at home.but, he was, now bang Lutfi seems to not care about the son.

" bang , where are you going?" said Ayu when after the husband arrived home and soon prepared to leave again.

" Sister wants to go to the football field Yu .. want to play a game, let's go out dry." by changing the clothes he wore with a shirt and soccer pants.

" Bah, tut ..tut bah .." said Ilham who at that time saw his brother had prepared to leave.

Even since the arrival of the bang Lutfi has not been at all carrying or even a little joking at the son. Because of his usual every weekend holiday, the Lutfi bang will not enter the house, but he will not enter the house, if the son has not been found by himself.just to hold or kiss the cheek of the son.

" Abah wants to play football first, dede stay with mama ya .." said bang Lutfi by reviving his vehicle.

" Bah .. tutt .. bah ..hik .. iitutt .. hik .." by limping in pursuit of the lutfi bang vehicle that had been driven.

" Dek .. babah wants to play first, dedek same mama yach." said Ayu to the child, with a baby ride Ilham who still continues to sob.

" Why Yu .. ?" said the mother who saw her granddaughter crying, directly asking Ayu.

" Want to follow my brother."

" Where is Lah ? why not bring it."

" His brother is in the field of soccer ma, want to play his words looking for sweat" said Ayu told the mother.

" Then why did the dede stay, brought can't it ?."

" Where to take, will his brother want to play ball."

" Kan, you can come all together to take care of dede.nga must be in stay until the child is so rich crying that already once a week met the wife's child, it's also only one day. here dear grandmother yach .. let's walk - walk." said mama who was a little upset at bang Lutfi.

Ayu who heard the words of his mother was silent, because Ayu also felt something strange in the Lutfi bang at this time.it was Ayu felt right in weeks - this week. from bang Lutfi who rarely contacted himself, just simply asked the news of Ayu and her son, and even now began to ignore both of them.

But Ayu did not dare to reveal her feelings to mama, her self only prefers to be silent because Ayu is not an easy woman to tell what she feels in others. he prefers to suppress his own feelings.

After that incident, day after day had now passed.and until now the change was increasingly felt by Ayu, more precisely one week after the return of bang Lutfi to the house.

If the previous toast bang Lutfi still smiles at Ayu, but his return this week, it is not at all in his can. her husband was just talking potluck and impressed coldly towards Ayu and her son.

" Where have you been. Why did the clock come home this early ?" bang Lutfi said in a tone that was upset with Ayu, when he saw Ayu's return after following the sport of Volly.

During this time Ayu did follow the volley ball in her village, usually her Ayu will leave after the assar and go home around four to half five in the afternoon. and so far bang Lutfi also know the activities of Ayu.and have never questioned his activities, and bang Lutfi took the initiative to buy a comfortable sports suit for Ayu.

" Ordinary bang, out of playing volleyball. why ?."

said Ayu confused by the attitude of the husband who arrived - not upset with himself.

" Yes sorry bang. anyways this is also only half five in the afternoon, usually also Ayu if you go home at this hour.anything Ayu also do not get senile bang, until forgetting the same dede same husband. Ayu is also at home continue to bang, anyways so far also brother knows what kind of Ayu activities." said Ayu by entering the house. Ayu was actually upset with her husband, what else with the clash that had never bang Lutfi did to Ayu.

" Dare to answer you Yu ..! feeling great you are from brother hah ..!!! ." and this time, either sandar or not. bang Lutfi hit Ayu right on Ayu's back.

Getting such treatment Ayu was immediately in shock instead of playing. At the age of just eighteen years, her self had to bear a burden that was not light on her shoulders, she said, a burden that was never imagined before.

" If you already do not like the same brother said, do not be rude rich so .. ! just so you know Yu ..! brother has also been resistant to all your properties that .. ! whatever you want now to be free .. ! brother better go away from this house. don't hold brother with you." said bang Lutfi

By filling up all her clothes in the closet and put them in the bag. Once finished, without a word bang Lutfi also left just like that from home.

While Ayu who is still in shock with the incident in his natural, only able to sculpt in the corner of the kitchen.self even like unable to move his entire body, is only able to sculpt in the corner of the kitchen, only the melt of tears came rushing out from both corners of Ayu's eyes.

Maybe because I heard the loud bang Lutfi and the sound of the vehicle that went away just like that, making Ayu's sister and mama come straight to Ayu's house. because maybe they want to know what happened to Ayu and her husband.Ju's sister was just about to ask Ayu, but Ayu has fallen unconscious.

Truly this is what has been feared Ayu. will Ayu experience the same thing with mama ? does Ayu's son have to experience the same thing with himself ? press after press is now present in Ayu's mind.sickness kah if we are left, even at the age of only eighteen years. press it is what makes Ayu to fall unconscious in the arms of Ayu's cousin.

Since the departure of bang Lutfi from home, Ayu was more silent.even until now no one knows what problems happened between the two. Day after day Ayu went through, with various feelings that raged in her, and at this time what worries Ayu is the fate of her son.

Almost a week Ayu and her husband have no communication. At this time Ayu just want to calm down, calm the heart and mind of Ayu. and during that time also the family is only able to give encouragement to Ayu, so that Ayu is able to face any problems in her household.

Sunday night at Ayu's residence, when Ayu was putting the son to sleep in his house room.

" Guard . Tok .. Assalamualaikum ..." there was a sound of a knock on the door as well as the sound of greetings, and the owner of the voice was clearly known Ayu.

" Wa' aleikumus salam ..." This time the mother answered the greetings and opened the door of the house because Ayu was currently sleeping the son in the room.

After the door opened, mama only fell silent when she saw bang Lutfi who was now standing in front of the house with his head bowed, bang Lutfi immediately prostrated himself at the feet of the in-laws, and it really confused my mother.

" I'm sorry Lutfi ma .. sorry, because Lutfi has hurt my daughter. hik ... Lutfi asked for forgiveness ma, Lutfi regret ma .. hik .. hik." with a regretful cry now bang Lutfi was resting at the feet of the in-laws.

" Don't be like this, wake up. What really happened between the two of you ? mama really doesn't know." this time mama wanted to know her second problem through her daughter-in-law.

With a little hesitation bang Lutfi recounted all of his, including his closeness to a woman. kanna bang Lutfi said that for almost a week her self seemed - though unconscious with all her behavior. and his self also said that his coworkers who had brought themselves to one of the traditional elders in his kampung kuningu, because it was considered bang Lutfi like a dazed person.

Deg

Ayu's heart was very painful when she heard the husband say that he had been close to another woman. so this is the reason why Lutfi changed, the reason he ignored his son and wife, even to the point of beating Ayu. even though the blow was not too painful, but trust me Ayu's heart hurts a lot more.

After listening to his second problem and advising the son-in-law, the mother went home.The mother gave time to the couple to solve the problem.and after the return of the mother, the mother, gave time to the couple to solve the problem, bang Lutfi also directly entered his room because when he told himself all of it to the mother, Ayu did not come out of the room at all.

" Yu ." said bang Lutfi by joining in the bed and directly hugging Ayu's body tightly.

" I'm sorry brother Yu .. forgive the mistake brother. brother knows brother has hurt Ayu, but brother please, please this time sorry brother." by continuing to hug Ayu's body, but brother, please, even kissed Ayu's head.

There is no answer that Ayu gave to bang Lutfi, at this time Ayu just speechless.his chest now feels very tight, disappointed, angry, hate, mixed in Ayu.

" Yu .. brother knows Ayu is angry with brother.but please, don't shut up brother Yu. Ayu can hit the brother, as the brother unknowingly hit Ayu. Ayu can maki and yell at brother, as where brother cursing and yelling Ayu. But brother please do not stay silent brother." said bang Lutfi with still tightly hugging Ayu's body from behind

" How far is your relationship with that woman ? did you do something ... " Ayu did not continue his words.His self was unable to hear painful things again.

" For Allah's sake Yu .. brother did not commit adultery with the woman.only, brother did like her very much, brother felt himself far away all - his gala from Ayu, brother ...

" Enough bang ..."

Ayu immediately stopped the words of bang Lutfi.His sense of hearing to hear the words that distantly hurt her self, the fact that his self is no better than the third person present in his household life.
