100 Days of Being a Widow

Part 36 The real farewell

Dani was again stunned by the sound of knocking on the door and the bell that rang repeatedly. Soon Dani came down the stairs, went to the door and opened it.

"Sir Hasan..."

Mumbled Dani.

Mr. Hasan is Delita's father. Dani's chest rumbles. Did he forget the promise to marry Delita?

"Assalamualaikum nak Dani..."

Dani remained silent. Terpaku can't believe it. He felt that he was amnesiac. Forgetting Delita's presence. Forgetting the promise he just gave a while ago. This time, the figure of the man who owned Delita, was present in plain sight.

"Please enter sir..."

Dani said softly and weakly. He realizes that in the upper room, there is Rania and the child who he also promised to return together. A difficult choice. I want it to disappear from there. Escape with dreams about home life with Rania. Start everything with a new one. But...

"Son Dani. Delita's pregnant...,"

There are emotions that both of them are holding back. Mr. Hasan's emotions almost overflowed and berated Dani. However, Delita's explanation had been enough to dampen the anger. He knew that nothing would happen if Delita refused, if Delita was not easily persuaded by Dani and able to take care of herself.

"Sorry...."

"Enough Dani. I've heard too many apologies from Delita, and now I don't want to hear the same explanation from you!"

Mr. Hasan's breath was wheezing. Tired of the journey Semarang-Bogor he did not feel anymore. Dani's explanation may be slightly different from what he had heard from his daughter Delita.

"Didn't you guys agree to get married?"

Dani lifted her chin. As surprised by the question posed by Mr. Hasan.

"But.sa..."

Dani was nervous and trembling. This time the stone was gone.

"Mas Dani's divorced, isn't she?"

Momentary silence.

"Mas Dani, please answer..you're divorced with your wife right?"

Mr. Hasan's voice was trembling. He then cried. He was worried about his son's condition. What do people say about Delita being married to a married man.

"Yes. Dani is divorced. Exactly divorced me for your son".

All woken. Rania was present in the guest room with two cups of sweet coffee made. Apparently from earlier he eavesdropped on Dani and Mr. Hasan's conversation.

"Rania.please..."

(words interrupted by Rania)

"Mas.mas don't worry. I was already a widow 70 days ago, even I will soon pass my Iddah".

Rania serves up that coffee dish. Sitting next to Dani. Removing the tears that started flooding Dani.

"Mr no need to worry. Dani's gonna marry your daughter soon".

Dani hugged Rania's body from the side. As if he was unable to take a stand at that time and let Rania face Mr. Hasan alone.

"outrageous. If you're divorced, why live under one roof!"

Mr. Hasan ride apitam. He looks emotional and does not believe what is happening in front of him. The prospective daughter-in-law he hoped for, instead looked weakly hugging another woman.

Rania knew that. Slowly he took his arms off Dani. Be ill. I just had a beautiful dream about a family. Now it seems lost by a promise that must be fulfilled.

"Mr don't misunderstand me. I have my own home. We are united for the children. Just tonight to celebrate our son's birthday".

Rania explained in a firm voice. As if he did not want the tears that he had been holding back from earlier to spill.

Nothing to cry about anymore. I feel like I have had a harder day than this. It's better he loses Dani now, than later when he's been referred.

To him, the pain of feeling divorced, separated from the children rather than giving up Dani owned by others at this time.

"Prince.mama..."

Azka had woken up from her sleep. Down the stairs looking for her parents.

Rania ran towards Azka. Hugging and kissing her. And.again. The guilt he had just felt. In fact, what he said was a form of ego defense that could immediately be destroyed because of the need for the role of the father of his children.

But this time not. Time to build the character of the children. They must survive against destiny. Not all hope can be achieved.

***

Sometimes we have to teach our children about life. Teach early on what destiny is. Yep... Destiny that sometimes happens does not match expectations.

Children should be taught to know the meaning of the word patience, by seeing their dreams left behind in their night sleep. Not getting carried away in real nature.

Yes, son.you rise. Must rise. The truth is not to be left running. Then you live to regret all day.

Look at the reality and face it

Like I realized myself

And then make my life meaningful.

Now you're staying, son,

Azka and Zidan

Look, reality in plain sight

He (papa) is not ours anymore

He has an appointment!

What I taught you about promises, son.

That promise must be kept

You can't break a promise

Because it was brought to death.

***

Sunlight fades between the gray clouds.

The orange is missing color

Swallowed angry and lara

It was enough, Rania allowed her dream to be replaced by another figure. He only asked his children so that he could live a new life.

To be singgle mom...

to be a full mother to her two hearts. Rania believes, the presence of children will evaporate lara dihati. Lara because the heart is really divided

A fact, that Delita is pregnant with Dani's baby. Their marriage before their eyes, does not mean that Rania's life was destroyed instantly.

"Mas Dani I'm gone... I'm taking Azka and Zidan. I will not limit your encounters with children. Come when you like"

Rania said goodbye to Dani.

"Rania, I hope we can find a middle ground so we can stay together"

Dani's words prevent Rania from leaving. To Rania, Dani has never looked as chaotic as today.

Rania smiled wryly. He had just buried the slightest hope of reuniting.

"Sorry mas. I just finished my hopes. My dream last night. My feet are still in this house. But my lanterns have dimmed. My soul has stepped in a different place".

"Rania but..."

(withheld by Rania.).

" Did your promise soon. Don't let Delita and her family bear the brunt of embarrassment. Let me and my family have accepted my destiny. Maybe this is my destiny, to be a widow..."

Rania, Azka and now Zidan

get out of Dani's house.

Dani escorted the three towards the pavilion. But Rania did not allow Dani to linger there. The longer Dani is around, the longer Rania rises from the reality of her life.

Dani said goodbye to both of her babies. Both of his heroes look tougher than Rania. They immediately dissolve in the activity of playing. Rania satisfies her mind to look at Dani, perhaps one last time with satisfaction. Because if you meet again, it may not be the same, it could be different. Someone will watch his eyes. Rania is haram for her.

Dani stepped out of that simple pavilion. Take the kids off with Rania. The woman he loves, but does not become his soul mate. A kiss landed on Rania's forehead. He can't refuse. Consider it the last kiss. Of course this is the last kiss for him, because after that ....

Rania, though,

New life, new life,

Become a new role.

Goodbye to my true story, Dani...
