A Decision

...Don't Break Up Asa...

True Muslims are not desperate

and hopeless.

He knew that together today

there's still tomorrow, though,

with difficulty there is ease.

After night there is dawn, and a lot of reality

today is yesterday day.

Diwarkops..

Hour 17.30 WIB.

Abim stopped for a while at the diarkop, to drink coffee for a while to relieve his fatigue.

It's been a week now, Abim can't go home fast. After returning home from work, he went to his friend's house to find a loan. As a result, I haven't been able to!

He was getting dizzy, had to get a loan where else. Contracts must still be paid, while paychecks are still a long way off.

If only my mother were close to me. Mama can help me when I'm in trouble. But now!! The mind of Abim who is thinking...

****

At Reyna's house ..

She had been waiting for her husband's return. Walking back and forth since made his feet ache. The person he was waiting for had not yet seen the trunk of his nose. All of this made him angry!!

"You why the hell from back and forth? Rich ironing! Can you sit?" Ask Dita who is sitting.

"How not to get dizzy. I've been charged with Mujiasih to pay the rent, but this week the money has not been there. And now, Abim went home late. Until home, don't bring good news!"

"Maybe Abim is again trying to find a loan! Don't you have any savings, if Abim's payday is replaced?"

"Do you know what I'm paying for? Make the cost of daily meals, the treatment of the mother. Not to mention, if you ask me for money for school children."

"Yes mbak know, mbak can only trouble you continue! Andi can't make a living. He himself is unemployed! Not like before!"

Silent..

.

.

After two hours of playing at home, Dita and her son went home.

Reyna and her mother are at home waiting for Abimanan to arrive.

****

At home..

It's been a week, Abim's parents have been staying at my house. I never mind them both being in my house. On the contrary, I feel happy.

.

.

I just finished my shower and sat down. Holding the phone and seeing some chat that goes into the wa.

What's the message from Luna? My word.

...-----...

I approached mama Ainun and Mr. Rizal who were enjoying the afternoon at home. Sit down with them!

"Ma, sir, have you eaten yet?"

"Udah, you just eat there!" Tell mama Ainun.

"Yes ma, later."

Derrrtt..

My phone rang and lifted it. Then I said to both of them, to take up the call!

📞 "Assalamualaikum. It's me Bimo!"

📞 "Waalaikumsalam! Yes Bimo What's wrong?"

📞 "Sorry Manda, I haven't seen Arif yet. Put the dpnya money!"

📞 "Later, mas payment problems! If not, it can be transferred!"

📞 "Ok, then. I sent the address!"

📞 "Yes, thank you! Assalamualaikum!"

Mas Bimo sent me his home address via WhatsApp. After that I started to clean up everything that will be used tomorrow.

Outside the house the parents were talking. It turned out that unintentionally, mama Ainun heard my conversation. Then talk to her husband about me.

"Sir, Manda received a call from whom?"

"Where do I know!"

"So mama heard like saying Bimo's name. That means a man's name sir!" Said Ainun's slightly suspicious mother.

"Emang why ma..?" Said the father glancing towards mama Ainun.

"I don't want children to have a stepfather because Amanada married again! How are the children's fates? Have you seen the news? It was so scary, there was a stepfather who raped his stepson, there was always news of stepmother torturing her stepson. Ihh. amit-amit sir, I don't want to! Anyway if until Manda gets married again. Let me take care of the kids!" Said mama Ainun as her hand tapped on the table.

Actually mama Ainun does not want children to have a stepfather or stepmother, but fate says otherwise. Fate makes children have to feel separation from their parents!

Mama Ainun won't stay silent, no matter how she wants me not to remarry. He wanted me to take care of the children and give them happiness, rather than my own happiness.

.

.

Unbeknownst to the two of them, I accidentally overheard the conversation of the two. I took a deep breath too..

Patience.patience, I said slowly.

I'm back in the kitchen. Continuing the delayed work.

.

.

"Ma already. It's not good to hear Amanda. Poor him."

"Let's sir, let's hear it. If not, then mom will talk." Reveal it while making a wander towards the house.

"Ma, don't like that! Manda wants to be happy too. We think about her feelings! Many of them are just as rich as Manda, so they can remarry and take care of their children. Mama's just worried."

"Pray sir, let Abim quickly wake up and refer to Manda again, for the sake of the children!"

Mr. Rizal patted his eel, hearing what his wife said.

****

Bend morning..

Hour 03.00 WIB.

I woke up early. Start cooking everything. Half an hour later mama Ainun woke up to a noise from the kitchen.

Mama Ainun woke up and saw me who was having a cooking fuss.

"Manda, what can you do for me?" Ask mama Ainun.

I was washing the rice, saying! "No need for mama. Sorry if the noise woke my mom."

"No really! I can't sleep anymore!"

Mama Ainun left the kitchen and returned to the room to fall back on the bed.

I still struggle with my job. Work very carefully, so that everything is finished well.

.

.

Tok.tok.

Five o'clock there was a knocking sound on the door. Mr. Rizal opened the door. It turns out that the one who came was Atika's mother.

"Assalamualaikum sir! Sorry disturbing! Want to help Manda said there was an order for yellow rice!"

"Oh yes ma'am please come in!"

Mr. Rizal sent to Atika's mother. Mama Atika went straight to the kitchen and started helping me cook.

Mom quickly concocted everything. I also saw Mama how to cook that much yellow rice.

Mama Ainun who was in the room heard there was mama Atika, then came out of the room and helped.

****

Hour 09.00 WIB

The yellow rice was finally finished and put into the box. Yellow rice is beautiful because the contents vary on request from the order of Bimo mas.

Luna who came and helped from seven o'clock made the work faster finished.

"Thank God your order is done!" Mama Atika.

"Yes, thank God. Oh yes ma! It's there's more, you bring it home."

"No, just make it here."

I forced my mother to take him. I intentionally made more. So that it can be eaten for itself as well.

.

.

Before driving to the Bimo mas house, Luna and I had a chance to talk briefly Discuss any problems. Gradually Luna mentioned about my personal matters.

"Manda, shall I ask you this?"

"Ask what?" Answer me slowly!

"You don't want to get married anymore!" Chirps Luna.

"Ehmm.. Why is it?"

"You are young, beautiful! Smart again."

I chuckled at Luna's words.

Why are we talking about marriage or not? Why not ask how I feel, how? Is the wound still there or not?

Am I traumatized or not? My inner.

Not yet able to answer, my former in-law came and accidentally heard what Luna said. Spontaneous immediately said. "Mom sure Amanda won't marry again! Amanda will take care of the children's happiness. Some kids don't want a stepfather! Do Manda want to be hated with children, if married again. Enough of his crazy father. The mother should remain sane!"

Luna only heard mama Ainun's words with a smile. He didn't reply!

"Luna, let's take orders yuk!" Let me switch the conversation!

"Kneel!"

Luna and I put all the yellow rice orders in Luna's trunk.

After that, Luna and I said goodbye to Rizal and Ainun's mother. Both kids are also involved! Because she was told by her grandmother to keep an eye on me...
