At the house of Mama Atika....

Today there's a Thanksgiving, at my mom's house. Mama held Widya's seven-monthly thanksgiving event.

Mama deliberately invited the study of mothers, neighbors, Widya's parents and relatives. Many helped my mother. Though all handed over by catering for food and snacks, so mama is not too bothered.

Neighbors who came to my mother's house, some brought cakes, fruit and even envelopes containing money.

Mama is very good with the neighbors, so the neighbors are also with mama.

Mama Atika also invited Bimo's parents to come to the event.

.

.

Study mothers, Bimo's parents, Widya's family and parents began to arrive. They sat in the place provided.

The event began and one of the mothers read out the arrangement of the event.

The first event was a greeting from the one who had the wishes of mama Atika representing Widya and Arif.

Study.

Flush. A shower or shower is a symbol of the ceremony as a sign of cleansing. ...

Putting chicken eggs into the fabric of the future mother by the husband. ...

Insert young ivory coconut. ...

Breaking lawe/thread winding /frost. ...

Change fashion. ...

Rejoice.

After the event after the event has been held. The last is the distribution of rice boxes and Snacks for guests.

Mothers of study one by one began to go home. Now only Bimo's parents, Widya's parents, remain.

Abi, Arif and Bimo talk together. There's just something they're talking about.

.

.

Shortly thereafter Widya's parents returned home. The brothers also came home one by one. Stay ummi, abi, Bimo who is still talking with mama and Arif.

I am still busy cleaning everything up. Sisil and Aisyah had just come from home after everyone was on their way home.

"Assalamualaik." Saying simultaneously.

"Getishalight." Answer us as we are inside.

The children kissed the hands of everyone who was sitting.

"Of Bimo! Is here?" Asiyah asked when she saw Bimo there.

"Yes deck.. How come you two have been here since?"

"Home home!" Answer Aisha!

Ummi noticed Aisyah who was so close to Bimo. How powerful that little boy is. Like father and son.

"Aisha is so. Bimo is tired!" I said when I saw Aisyah was so spoiled and sitting on Bimo's lap.

"No, om!" Answer Aisha.

"Same sister eat first yuk." Tell me because they haven't had lunch yet.

Sisil got up from his seat and then he took a meal at the table.

"Ummi, Abi and Bimo Ayuk eat first. It's been prepared on the table. Let's go for it."

"Let's go, we'll eat first. Let's continue talking!"

Everyone took food at the table and enjoyed eating together. This time I felt together.. Everyone smiles happily.

After performing the Ashar prayer together. We all gathered together.

Abi started his conversation first.

"I as the parents of Bimo want to talk about our intentions and goals, which is not just a guest at Atika's mother's ceremony with the family. Bimo has already told us a little bit about his intentions. That's his intention to marry Amanda."

Deg..

Spontaneous my heart skipped a beat unexpectedly. About what abi said. I'm trying to pinch my hand, if only this was a dream.

Aaaaw. Say it slowly.

It's not a dream, sick! Bimo wants to? No way, after all, Bimo never expressed his heart to me! My inner.

"I didn't think that this Bimo boy was putting his taste on Manda. Because the introduction of Bimo and Manda was quite short. I know who Bimo is. I am very grateful that Bimo has good intentions for Manda. Mama supports him but it all comes back together with Manda."

Everyone's on me. Waiting for an answer?? I myself have to decide what? The heartache and wound that still imprint in the heart has not even completely disappeared. A failure in my home scared me of starting a relationship. Especially there are kids!!!

Silent

Silent

"How's Ndok, they're all waiting for your answer??" Said mom.

I bowed, bangtung should give an answer what. Suddenly, Bimo said something!

"Have .. I'll give Amanda some time to think. It's a hard decision what else Manda has failed in fostering a relationship and plus there are children! So let Manda think back." Bimo Long.

"How's Manda?" Ummi.

"Formerly thanks to abi, ummi and mas Bimo. Who has good intentions for me. Thank you! Hmm.. honestly!! Abi, ummi and mas Bimo, still want to accept all my shortcomings and with my status like this! That was beyond expectation. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to think and explain to the kids!"

These tears fell down my cheeks, but this time my cry opened sorrow but the cry of happiness.

Bimo gave the tissue near him to me. Then I accepted with my hand and wiped my tears.

"Well if it's Manda's decision, I represent Mama and Manda's mother. Hopefully, Bimo and the family will accept Manda's decision. God willing, Manda will make the best decision for himself and the children! Amiin!" Said Arif with his soft.

"Alright, if it's your decision for now, Abi equally ummi will wait for your next decision." Ummi's word!

"Mrs Atika, Arif we beg you to say goodbye and thank you for the banquet!"

"Sama-sama, Abi and ummi. Boy Bimo, thank you for coming to visit our little house!"

.

.

After the departure of Ummi, Abi and Bimo. Mama and Arif asked about my answer.

"How about Bimo's mas?"

"What about, Rif? Not the answer later!" Reveal me.

"Yes mad! I mean how's that Bimo mas?"

"Actually Bimo mas is kind, polite and his religion is certain!"

"You know who Bimo is, so I hope you can be Bimo and open up to Bimo. But what about the children, brother is equally willing to accept Bimo what is it?" Said the mother who doubted whether the children could accept Bimo.

If you see Aisyah so close to Bimo but whether Sisil is also the same. It's not that kids always get bad stories about stepfathers and wicked stepmothers from my former in-laws. My mind kept thinking.

"That's it ma, which I'm thinking. I'll try to talk slowly with the kids!"

Fortunately, the children were not here so they did not hear the talk of the parents. Let me explain to them later. As for the result I leave it to God. Because the end result is in the hands of Allah SWT, man can only pray and try to be the one who determines the outcome of Allah!

At home..

When the kids go to school. I read the Quran in my room.

Dert.dert..

My phone rings. I finished reading the Koran and I picked up the cell phone lying on the bed!

Video call is connected!

"Assynnya!" Say my greetings and see the face of Mas Bimo, his head wrapped in a peci and Koko's clothes are white.

"Girlwindsalam! Sorry Manda, did I bother you!"

I still wear mukena after the magrib prayer and I have not changed because I directly read the Quran!

"What's wrong?"

"Regardless of that, I'm sorry that I talked to my mom without telling you how I really feel!"

"Ehmm.about that. It's not why."

"That's all I want to tell you!"

"Yes mas! What's Bimo doing?" Ask me because Bimo is so neat at home.

"I'm teaching someone who wants to convert! Why?"

"Oh, where do I think Bimo's mas is going?"

"Yes Manda, good night and Assalamualaikum!"

"Glamma!"

I ended the video call. This time my feelings were mixed. Happy but there is a fear that continues to haunt me in the household! Was it because of my failure in the household that caused a trauma!
