100 Days of Being a Widow
78 Becomes Volunteer Extension for Divorce Victims
After reading the Qur'an Rania's heart became calmer. Jean kissed Rania when she had read the Qur'an.
"Thank you, dad. I'm being calm".
Rania.
Jean smiled sweetly.
"The writing goes on. yes..."
Rania fell silent. She felt bad for realizing that her writing was read by Jean.
"I'm sorry, dad"
"No need to apologize, you need that. Work it. At least from your writing later, I want you to be able to inspire many women out there. Not all divorce-victim women are as mentally strong as you are, and not all have parents like Malik's father, who are able to raise your spirits. Some of them, actually get a lot of social pressure, including from their own families".
Rania listened intently.
"Write it, my wife. With your writing at least you can share the power through experience. You can educate them.Thankfully you can help them out of their problems. Tomorrow I will prepare a special place for you, so that you can be more comfortable when writing".
Jean rubbed Rania's shoulder. Jean's words have always been able to excite Rania. Her words reminded Rania of her father figure. Jean is like her father. Both in words and attitude.

Morning's...
Dani and her mother are ready to go home. Jean brought a lot of souvenirs for Bu Nani. Five ties of cassava, and two large bunches of banana horns of the garden itself. Jean also gave goat milk powder produced by his factory. Ms. Nani was very happy to receive gifts from Jean. He did not expect Rania to get a soul mate with him. Yes, Ms. Nani is aware of Jean's kindness, the same as Rania's. They both like to make others happy. The difference is only, Rania was too weak so that her kindness was always used by others, and even misused by her.
"Son Jean..."
Sapa Bu Nani when Jean was putting the souvenirs into the cardboard.
"Do you have no problem if I visit Rania here often?"
pause for a moment. Jean smiles.
"somehow, I felt like I lost Rania just after Rania left".
Stifled voice,
"Mom, there's an ex-wife, but there's no ex-in-law. Karen-in-law has become a parent. Come when you want..."
Jean's answer made Bu Nani's heart shake. He was treated special by a nobody. Jean is so kind, almost flawless.
Such is the household, the economy is not one thing that becomes a benchmark. Some are struggling with treasures, but tested have not had offspring. Some were perfectly capable of having offspring, tested with a lack of treasures. Some are tested from her husband, some are tested with his wife, and some are tested with health. Whatever man, his life will continue to be tested until the last breath.
The time for separation has come. Dani lifted the suitcase. His eyes began to fade from Rania's sight. He came home with a feeling of disappointment. However, he realized that he should be able to return to real life. We can have a desire, ambition for something or even a lot of things. However, in fact the destiny of God is able to determine, who with whom, a mate is part of destiny that does not need human intervention.
Dani's shadow begins to fade, surrounding Rania's feelings for her. Love is not eternal, it can come and disappear. Love is not a matchmaker, love is not able to change God's destiny, for that man do not deify love.
Love can grow without us wanting it before. Only by the power of God can love grow in hearts that love one another. In hearts that love each other.
Dani-Rania is a past that does not work in the present, or in the future. The status is no longer husband and wife, but will forever be Papa and mama for Azka and Zidan.
...Good bye Dani,...
...Goodbye to the memories of wounds....
...Where I learned to grow up, though,...
...and smart to heal wounds....
Car door closed. The hand of Bu Nani is a sign that togetherness is there. Rania is busy strengthening Azka and Zidan. Rania can be good at hiding her grief, but not with her two children, Azka and Zidan. Although there had been Jean taking over the upbringing, apparently, they were just little kids with her natural instincts. They still love their real father.
"Dad if Azka had grown up, Azka would have looked for a father. Azka wants to take care of dad, Azka will hug dad...Azka love daddy...".
Rania voices Azka when Dani says goodbye to the boy. His traumatic injuries could completely heal. Dani showed a very real change to her children.
Thanks Dani, at least they'll keep your name in his memory with good memories.
***
Two pairs of eyes were wet. Rania's feelings were mixed. Between wanting to spill unstoppable water in the eye patch, or staying in hold of it for another feeling.
Rania doesn't know. He just tried to hug his two heroes.
"There's mama, son. Mama's here. Whenever you want to see papa, make sure you meet. Mama promise baby...".
A slight hug lightens the load. see you Dani.
***
Every day Rania took the time to write her writing. This work takes the form of a novel. Rania tells the story of her life journey facing the condition of the household on the verge of divorce. How to know the betrayal of a partner and how to rise up to achieve happiness.
Jean is very supportive of Rania to be able to complete her writing. Jean has always taken over Rania's duties in childcare. Even when he was in the goat pen, all the children he brought, just so as not to disturb his mother who was focusing on writing a novel.
So often come to the goat pen, Azka was even so deft to help the father to give bait to the goats, Zidan always excited if invited to milk, milking, and the youngest Chantika who is only three years old, really likes the activity of riding embe aka goat.
***
Otherside. Rania has completed 20 parts of her novel. He is ready to promote his novel to his colleagues and of course on a well-known novel reading platform, Noveltoon.
The more days, the more readers of Rania's novels. Not only from among his colleagues, but also glimpsed by an LBH that specifically handles women and children of divorce victims.
***
Rania, with Jean's support, immediately accepted the offer. An email reply Rania sent to LBH Sehati. It was certainly about Rania's approval to become one of their volunteers.
Rania also immediately received an invitation from LBH Sehati to attend their office. They will explain how they work, and Rania is aware that this is a non-profit institution, so she has prepared herself not to get a penny in return. Share for others, because he was in the same position. He did not even get legal help for his case. Standing up to defend those with whom he is a positive form of revenge. That is how Rania's heart is. Lest there be the next Rania Rania that is thrown out of a family. There should not be Azka and Zidan next who must bear the wounds of the divorce of his parents.
***
This morning was Rania's schedule to come to LBH Sehati's office. Coincidentally their office was not far from where Rania lived. It's only 40 minutes away. Rania dress up minimalist. He looks fresh and very good to come there. Jean makes breakfast for him and the kids who are ready with their school backpacks. Like other volunteers, before work, they still have to follow a series of selections first. This is to ensure the quality of their employees. To be able to provide maximum service for clients. After the interview process, volunteers will also be equipped with adequate legal knowledge, so they can provide legal assistance to their clients, helping LBH in advocating for divorce victims in the field. It was a challenging job for Rania. Given that almost all volunteers have the same background, namely divorce victims!
"Ma, this is your favorite cheese bread, eat it, so that your stomach is not empty during the interview".
A cheese sandwich was served at the dinner table. I don't know when Jean started to prepare the food, because when Rania came down from the second floor of her room, the food was served, and the children were tidy. Rania devoured Jean's bread voraciously. The bread was made by Jean herself. As a former bread entrepreneur, Jean is certainly very good at making bread.
"After dropping off the school children, I will take you to LBH Sehati. I have also coordinated with the children's teacher, that it will be a little late to pick up. So, kids can be given extra tutoring".
Rania was stunned to hear Jean's explanation. This man is so adept at what he has to do, even the details for his children.
"I'm sorry, dad. I seem to be too busy with my novel!"
Rania feels bad because Jean is so busy with extra household chores.
"You calm down, baby. Mbok Siti starting tomorrow will help us in home affairs, starting from washing and cooking. You only have a duty to pay attention to the children. Bake them while eating, and bathe them too. In order not to let your attention gush on others, while your child lacks attention, okay!"
Jean said as she patted Rania on the shoulder. Then Rania replied with a thumbs up.
***
Rania has arrived at the building in yellow and black. There is a neon box bearing the name of the LBH. Jean immediately parked his car in the parking lot that had been provided. Rania and Jean walk side by side, opening the door and then heading towards the reception desk.
"Good morning, how can we help you?"
Sapa a receptionist named Anita.
"Yes mba. I got an invitation to interview this morning".
Rania.
"Oh yes..on whose name?"
"Rania..."
"good. Can you just wait a minute. I'll call the manager first. Please sit in the living room".
" Good mba, thanks"
Rania and Jean sat next to each other in the living room. Rania's eyes surfed to the corner of the room. There were a lot of motivational words on the wall of the room.
Of the many writings, there is one sentence that is very interesting for him.
"Your life means too much to waste. Do not fall just because of love. Remember the struggles of your parents who have struggled to teach you to walk. Get up and get up, you still have time to be happy...".
Rania thought back to the difficult times she had passed. If he knew the existence of LBH like this, would be different story. From the beginning he would not waste his time on a man who did not love him.
Rania took a deep breath. Without realizing it Jean was sitting next to him. He also read what Rania had read just now.
"Ma, what do you think of that writing?"
Rania smiled.
"Thank you, baby. You are my mentor, although not many words, but managed to help me out of those difficult times. The first 100 days of being a widow".
Rania smiled with satisfaction. She realizes that Jean is a divorce volunteer. Give help sincerely and guide him to finally become his wife. Hahaha.it's a bonus! oh yes the bonus can be two brats as well plus an extra bonus named pretty boy, Chantika.
The waiting room time was not felt by Rania and Jean. Joking and laughing both, able to juggle the room measuring 4x5 meters was like they belonged to both of them. Every corner of the room is a discussion and the material of Jean's jokes. That's how it is. A simple figure capable of juggling miserable tears into happy laughter.
...Later you will be considered great, when you are able to laugh at the painful past!...
...Remember. Live only once. Be part of the past, let it be a lesson that must be finished and finished. Don't extend it, you won't be in class. Let's move to a higher level. The more mature, the more level up the test, the better it should be able to solve the problems....
The first 100 days of being a widow are the process of falling into consciousness. Must realize soon yes. Because after that, it must start to rise and rise again. Show God that you are a chosen man, whose prayers are worthy of approval, why? because you mean, at least for your own survival".
"Mother Rania..."
Rania and Dani's conversation stopped when the receptionist called her. Rania got up from her seat and headed to the receptionist earlier.
"Mother please face the manager. Her name is Marta Ma. Rania's mother has been waiting there".
"Alright mba. Thanks".
Rania walked towards the space in question. Passing through the corridor that connects each room there. Along the corridor there are different room dividers. Ad door reads administrative room, psychological counseling room, legal consultation room, education room, then library room and right at the end of the room there is the writing of Martha Wilata. SH.
Rania's heart was pounding. Like people who are following a high-profit job selection, and are afraid of rejection. A novel in the form of print out has been held in his hands.
"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim may pass this selection"
Mumbled.
He learned from Kaskus, that volunteers here are very professional because they often take advocacy training. Their program is very strict and therefore, those who are successfully accepted here must be qualified choices. Rania wishes she were one of them. Rania is hopeful ...
