I'm Injured, too


“He's my cooperation, Abah. So, Usfi's men! In post!” The girl answered the questions of her parents without any burden.


“What?” sholeh and Ima at the same time.


Usfi's remarks astonished the two parents, with the fact that, facing their daughter, they had to meet Gani again every day at work. There was a very thick worry painted there.


They still remember how Usfi processed until he could accept Anwar fully as a husband. And, it was not easy, for he had once complained to his mother that, he was so hard to accept that it should be honey for Maisha.


Had she known from the beginning if Gani liked her then, she would have asked that Gani propose and marry her, before Anwar actually made an official proposal to her.


However, she knows how Gani feels, after everything happens. Moreover, the man went out of nowhere, after the news of his proposal spread throughout the village, making him have to explain everything that happened to him.


Several times he expressed his disappointment to Ima, because he had already accepted Maisha's offer to become her honeymoon. The old woman was well aware of the feelings of her youngest child growing up, it was not easy for her to accept such a big ordeal. Polygamy is not about how the husband and his first wife are, but what is involved in it is, the second wife including their children.


At that time Usfi thought if he did not have to bear, what was the responsibility of obligation or return Budi both parents to Maisha. Moreover, having to sacrifice her future and live as a second wife.


Both of Usfi's parents repeatedly advised, and strengthened his heart, to go through the marriage sincerely, because Maisha directly asked for her willingness. Especially Ima, the woman was so guilty, that she was so painstaking and patient with her son, who had just grown up to be strong to accept all the trials that exist.


As parents, Sholeh and Ima certainly heavily gave up their youngest child for, becoming Anwar's wife who famously loved carrying women. What people say later, as soon as they speak.


Over time and religious supplies given Sholeh and Ima continuously, their guidance to Usfi and Anwar was fruitful, until the girl became more mature. In the end, they can be seen coloring each other's lives, to make a positive change.


At that time, Asma had met Sholeh and Ima, who said how grateful she was with the change in Anwar. She chose Usfi to be her husband's second wife, who no longer bergonta changing women to accompany her to deliver vegetable orders to the city.


At the time of the wedding, four Usfi brothers who were all wandering in some areas, did not agree. In fact, they were ready to find a husband for their younger brother, who was much better than Anwar. Especially to be honey. They consider marriage to be too forced and shameful, as if Usfi does not practice.


Issues were heard here and there with various assessments in various societies, some even accused if Usfi was pregnant before the wedding, to want to be a destroyer of people's households.


Sholeh knew everything that was happening both in the family and in the community, but, she could not refuse the request of Maisha, the woman who had helped her.


“Iya Abah, she works in Usfi post!”


“Really, Gan?” ask Sholeh.


“Hehe. Yes, Abah!” the sound of laughter and Gani's speech instantly disperse Sholeh and Ima's memory of the marriage of Usfi, her daughter.


“Oh ... has it been a long time Nak Gani cooperated Usfi?”


“It's only been a month, because I don't have a job anymore now, want to apply for work elsewhere, but Mom who asked me to work with Bu Usfi in Post only, so, so, I just recited it for a while.”


Sholeh and Ima looked at each other for a moment, they now concluded that one thing that changed from Gani was his call to Usfi which is not Onah anymore.


“So, huh? Why for a while, do you intend to run away again like before?”” sahut Sholeh nodded.


“Oh, God willing, Abah, tired of running away! I just found out that life after running away is no better than before, it is harder when away from the old people, as a result of you leave, I do not know anything.


“Yes, I didn't have HP that time, Sir!” gani Sahut.


Gani's chat and Usfi's parents, now it's about the new family and the situation in the big city, the man doesn't tell them the truth, but, both Sholeh and Ima understand, what was the background to Gani's departure.


The conversation continued about how the death of Mr. Gani was so calm, even though he was younger than himself. They were friends for a long time, even though their houses were far apart, but they still lived in the same village.


Gani listened to all the stories of Sholeh well, because he did not know the circumstances of his father when he died.


“So, wherever we are work well like your Father, he is a hard worker and friendly, he is one example of a diligent person to the mosque!”


“Iya, Abah, God willing I will try all his advice.”


“I know, why Mother told Abang to stay here,” said Usfi to speak after a long silence.


“What?” ask Gani gently.


“Emak is alone, right? Mother wants her house rame if there is a brother,” said Usfi while standing, she wants to go to her room, soon Maghrib.


“There's Altiana's son! That was also his grandson.” Gani was enthusiastic.


“Yes, there is indeed his son Altiana but, they do not live one house, right?” after saying that, Usfi actually left.


“I think Usfi already has a child too like me.” Gani chimed, “Liar race is also Abah's home here!”


“Iya, but maybe not yet time Ambuk has a grandson from Usfi,” Ima said with a disappointed look, he did not know why his son was not yet pregnant, he said, all the women of his descendants were fertile women.


“Change, actually I am here, because there is something I want to ask ...” said Gani ventured.


“What's Nak Gani?” ask Sholeh.


“I heard that Usfi married not because of his own wishes, but because he was betrothed by Abah and Ambuk, is that true? Sorry, I heard it after coming home a month ago, when I left, I did not know about it.”


Sholeh and Ima looked at each other, they did not expect that Gani would ask them that.


Soleh took a deep breath before finally answering, “It is true that we have betrothed them, but, whatever the reason, no one else has the right to mix it up including you ... although we know you like Usfi, but, now you are married .. so, it would be nice that you do not need to know any further.”


“Yes, Abah. I also do not want to interfere in the affairs of Usfi and Abah, also Ambuk. I just make sure that my prejudices have been wrong!”


“Whatever your prejudices on us .. is your personal business, Abah also need not know because it is past. Three years is also not a short time to forget. And, whatever your mistake, there is no need to apologize, because you are innocent ... has nothing to do between your prejudice and all our decisions .. once again because it is the past.”


After Sholeh gave a little advice, Gani went home to remember the time the Maghrib was getting closer, while behind the wall of the living room, Usfi still silently stared at Gani's departure with a blank look.


"If you feel hurt, I'm hurt too, Bang .." she said softly to herself.
