100 Days of Being a Widow

Part 5 of the Day: Status

The wind blows. Cold touching skin. The silence between Pras and Dinda is not over.

"Pras, sorry I have to come in!"

Dinda said that she just wanted a certainty.

"Din..wait!"

Pras got off his motorcycle. Entering the gate of the house followed Dinda who began to park her vehicle.

Dinda turned her body. Trying to appreciate Pras for listening to him. Hope in the heart tries to throw it away. Instead he mentally prepared to return to accept bitter words.

"I'll accept your past".

Pras said with certainty. He held onto Dinda's shoulder and looked at Dinda's teary eyes.

"Are you sure, Pras?!"

Dinda.

"Yes, I'm sure. But the one I asked of you, Dinda..."

Silence moment. Sighs.

"What?" Ask Dinda.

"I want you to keep your status a secret to my mother. You are still a virgin in KTP. It's enough that I know your virginity status, your status in the past".

Pras said with confidence.

"You've considered the consequences if one day your parents find out, Pras?"

"We'll think about it later, Dinda".

Pras hugged Dinda's body. A kiss landed on his forehead. Dinda feels warm mastering. The longing that he had been trying to tepis, paid off already.

"I miss you, Dinda..."

***

Since that night. Dinda and Pras' relationship warms up. Pras, immediately told his family to immediately prepare a proposal to Dinda.

A date of application has been determined. Dinda immediately returned to Lumajang to prepare a welcome to the candidate of his besi.

***

"Rania, I'll make a proposal with Pras..."

a short message Dinda sent to Rania.

"God, seriously?"

Rania asked as if she was amazed by what happened. It's lucky this client. He quickly found a soul mate again.

"Seriously. The day after Pras's family will come home for a proposal. You are present, Ran...!"

"Ready

God willing I am present".

That's how Rania, always familiar with her clients.

***

Preparation is 100 percent. A meal to welcome guests has also been prepared.

Pras came with his parents. They came directly from Bandung, and stayed at one of the hotels in Lumajang.

Pras is an only child. She was born to a mother named Dewi Pertiwi. His father was a retired BUMN employee and once served as the head of the branch. Despite this, they were very firm in giving education to Pras. It is not easy for Pras to waste money. Since High School, Pras has been making his own money from his photography hobby. In fact, he chose to study in private at his own expense, when he was not declared to graduate at a public campus. If you have to go through the independent route, it will cost so much. He doesn't want to.

Lady Dewi looked around as she got down from the car. He agreed with this proposal because he saw Niken as a successful businessman in the city of Bandung. Niken gave his son a job. So, Miss Dewi believes that Dinda also has the same reputation as Niken.

The application event is underway. Everything went smoothly until the process of embedding the ring on Dinda's ring finger. The event was almost over, when Miss Dewi was allowed to go to the toilet because she wanted to pee.

He hears people talking in the kitchen about the luck of Dinda, the widow getting a bachelor without. and the son of a rich man. Spontaneous Mother Goddess was surprised to hear it.

He asked the people in the kitchen.

"Didn't I hear wrong with Dinda's status, Mom?!"

Ask Bu Dewi in an interrogating tone.

Everyone there was still confused. They did not know that the Goddess was among them. They also do not know that Miss Dewi does not know Dinda's past.

Because I don't get answers. The Goddess rushed towards the front room. Everyone is talking about wedding preparations.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly Miss Dewi interrupted the conversation between Pras' father and Dinda's father.

All were shocked and confused by the voice of the Goddess Bu who was impressed loudly.

"I want to get to know Dinda first. Before everything is far away. Please explain to me who Dinda really is, no cover-ups!"

Said Miss Dewi in a high tone. All speechless. Dinda's father understood what Miss Dewi meant. Gentlely, he opened his voice.

"Honored Mother Goddess. It's good to talk about this in a family way. We sit with cold heads. I'll explain in full about my son, Dinda".

Dinda who had been chatting with Rania was aghast. He feels cornered. He will be flayed in public. When all the big families are present, and the neighbors gather in the kitchen to help the consumption.

Miss Dewi agreed, even though she looked very upset. But he finally agreed to sit quietly.

"My oldest son is named Dinda. He is a child we have loved since childhood. Unfortunately due to economic limitations, he dropped out of school. At a very young age of less than 16, I married a man in series. Her status is no longer virgin. Legitimate according to religion, but not legal by state".

Dinda's father's voice sounded heavy. As a father, this is certainly not a proud thing. Disassemble family disgrace in public. Aib who started from his own carelessness.

Dinda started crying in Rania's arms. Pras, bowed listlessly. He has tried in such a way to cover up this disgrace. But God wants something else. In the end, they know the truth.

"Then, my daughter was betrayed and religiously divorced by her husband. He was a great kid for me. He tried to get up and find his new life. God gave him a chance to change his destiny. And today I really hope to be my son's happy day. I think both sides have both known the past?!". Said Dinda's Father.

"So the point is, Dinda's not a virgin anymore?!"

Sindir Bu Dewi. The look on her face turned cynical. He did not even look at Dinda's father who was right in front of him.

"Yes, you're right Miss Goddess. My son is no longer a virgin. She has fulfilled her duty as a religiously legal wife".

Dinda's father tried to explain the truth that the highest law is religiously, the state is just for two pieces of paper.

"Pras is your only son. He is our hope. Ever since I was a kid, I always tried to give my best for him. Our old days depended heavily on him. If Pras has to get married, at least he chooses the best woman, a girl for a virgin".

The momentary silent atmosphere. However, Dinda was able to capture what the next Lady Goddess would say.

"I'm sorry... I cancelled this application!".

Said Miss Dewi while pulling her husband's hand.

Before boarding the car, Miss Dewi found Pras still silent in his place.

"Pras.ayo we go home. Mama will prepare the best woman for you!".

Pras also shed his tears. Rubbed his face rough.
