11 Portraits of Sariyah, the First Wife of Pak Tarno, Who is Now a Laundry Worker, Left Behind After Marrying 2 Women - Admits Not Being Supported

To make ends meet, Sariyah now works as a laundry worker. Although the job is tough, she continues to do it sincerely to cover daily expenses such as electricity and water.  

"Now I can still do laundry, yes, I work in a laundry. It's okay to pay for water and electricity," she continued.  

Sariyah also mentioned that she has never received any part of the aid or donations given by several parties to Mr. Tarno.

In fact, she did not know that Raffi Ahmad had ever helped her husband.  

"I don't know. From Mr. Raffi or from anyone, I don't know. The person didn't come home again. Didn't get anything at all. Didn't receive even a penny, I have no idea," she said with a sad tone.  

Although her life is full of struggles, Sariyah admits that she is reluctant to beg from her husband or others. She prefers to accept with an open heart whatever is given to her, even though life must be lived by working hard.  

"I don't want to beg. If I'm given something, I accept it; if I'm not given anything, I don't ask. I can still do laundry if I'm still healthy," Sariyah asserted.

Furthermore, Sariyah recounted that she only learned her husband married two other women, Dewi and Lisa, through Mr. Tarno's assistant. She received this information during the fasting month, after the assistant showed evidence of the presence of the two new wives.

"Yes. That’s all I know, Dewi. Slamet (Mr. Tarno's assistant) showed me during the fasting month. When I came back from the village, there was Dewi and Lisa," Sariyah revealed.  

In the midst of the trials of life that she is experiencing, Sariyah continues to pray for the best for Mr. Tarno. She hopes her husband will soon realize and want to return home to be together with her again.

"A message for Mr. Tarno. I hope you will come home, amen, hopefully you will realize quickly, quickly seek forgiveness, and quickly stop at the door of your heart," Sariyah concluded with hope.
