A LIFETIME BEHIND THE BARS OF PRISON

episode 15

I was just stunned to hear the words of Mr. Slamet, it turns out that he has not changed and still wants my daughters, not only Rani but now Halimah.

"Sorry Mr. Slamet, I already have a candidate for Halimah." I'm still standing at the door.

"Monic betrothed to Bu Lili's son, huh?. Ms. Rina, why should I snatch someone's fiancee, preferably like I'm single." Said Mr. Slamet rubbing his already black slippery hair back.

"Sorry, Sir. I think it's clear what I'm saying." I hope he leaves my house soon.

"Listen Yes, Miss Rina. I will not remain silent with this refusal. Excuse me!"

Mr. Slamet stepped out of my home disappointed and emotional. I'm just massaging my chest and I'm special.

I closed the door and locked, I stepped into the living room and sat down.

"He's gone, sitting here, son." I called my daughters to hide in the room, and they came out.

"Mother, I'm scared" Rani hugged me.

"Don't leave prayers, diligently read the Qur'an, son. Step out read the prayer and verse chair."

I try to advise my daughters to always remember Allah, because I believe Allah is all-helper.

Actually I feel anxious at the words of Mr. Slamet just now, the threat is still in my ear, O Allah .. please protect my daughters.

The night is getting late, I can not close my eyes, my anxiety has not gone away with the case of Halimah sexy photo is not complete.

I sat in the living room drinking a cup of coffee, and Halimah came out of the room and sat beside me.

"Mother why haven't you slept?"

"Why aren't you sleeping?" I asked back.

"I'm thinking about my pictures, Mother." Halimah said with a sad face.

"Son, pray tahajud and pray, Mother believes God must hear and give way, as long as it is sincerely and wholeheartedly."

Hearing me Halimah nods her head.

I also told about the application of Revelation, Halimah just fell silent in response, the look on her face did not show pleased at all. I was confused as to who could conquer my son's heart.

"Mother wants you to get married soon so someone can take care of you, son." Hearing me say, Halimah did not look me in the eye, her eyes far ahead.

I hope Halimah gets a sholeha soul mate and can take good care of her.

Sunday morning was very bright, the sun was laughing welcoming the world. My daughters and I re-open the stalls that have been closed for days.

"Mother, I want to sell brownies online, look, I've already posted a picture." Rani showed me her phone screen.

"Good," I answered briefly and stroked his head.

"Later if anyone buys, the money I love Mother."

"If you want to be saved is also okay."

"Look at you later, Bun." Rani is busy with her phone.

Anisa came to bring a cup of coffee and fried bananas to the stall.

"Mother, this is your favorite drink plus fried bananas" said Anisa and put it on the counter.

"Mmm this is new steady." I smiled at my daughter.

"Wow! Someone ordered two boxes of my brownie, Mother." Rani looks happy to see her phone screen.

"Let me see, brother." Anisa sat down next to Rani.

"I made the cake, yeah, Bun." Rani immediately got up from her seat and stepped into the house.

"Sister, wait, I'll help, yeah." Anisa also ran into the house.

Seeing the joy on my children's faces, it felt like these hearts were calm, their smiles were strength for me to live life as a single parent.

I was sitting in a coffee shop enjoying banana fritters, this morning the atmosphere in front of my house was not so crowded, but there were also some buyers who bought sugar, salt or instant noodles.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Miss Rina."

I was surprised to see Bu Lili coming with Monik.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, let's sit Bu Lili, Monik."

They were sitting in my stall, this time the look on Bu Lili's face was not like yesterday, it seemed more friendly.

"I'm sorry for all my mistakes, Miss Rina. I'm so sorry, I'm embarrassed and don't know what to say mmm."

Suddenly, Miss Lili was sitting in front of me.

"Don't do it, Mom. Let's stand up." I pulled Bu Lili's arms together to stand up.

"We have forgiven all, Allah is most forgiving and we are only ordinary people." My neighbor again.

"If Halimah hadn't dropped her charges, I might have gone to jail." Bu Lili's voice shook.

"If Arya prefers Halimah, I don't mind, Halimah is a good boy and deserves a good man too" continued Bu Lili again.

I am relieved that all is well, despite the difficulties of the recent troubles, but I am grateful that God still protects me and my daughters.

"Mom, I want to see Halimah." Monik asked me for permission.

The monik left me and his mom at the stall and stepped into my house.

In the living room Halimah and Monik sat talking.

"What's the Monik?" Halimah stared at the Monik.

"Thank you, Halimah. My mom's not in jail, if you don't drop the charges, maybe my second fiance will be decided again."

"Are you engaged again, Monik?"

The monik replied with a nod of his head.

"Arya deserved to break up with me, I cheated on the guy I knew at the discotheque, even if it was just a fad but all this was fatal, I loved Arya, but I slept with another guy. I didn't say my mother was my fault, I was afraid, so she blamed Arya." Monik.

"Every time Arya visits me and sees you coming home from college passing in front of my house, she is often stunned, but she tries to be loyal, but I am not loyal." The monik continued the story, a disappointed smile coming out of his lips.

Halima was speechless to hear the Monik story, smiling, Halimah was relieved that Monik and Bu Lili did not plant any more hatred towards her and her Mother.

Rani and Anisa came up to me at the stall, while Bu Lili was still waiting for the Monik to talk to Halimah.

"Mother, I want permission to deliver this cake to the buyer." Rani carries two boxes of brownies.

"Anisa also accompanied Rani, Mother." Anisa said before I answered.

"Where?" i asked.

Rani showed me the address on her phone screen. There is a New Housing not far from the housing we live in.

"Be careful, if there's anything quickly contact Mother."

"Okay Bun." Anisa and Rani replied with a small laugh.

Rani hugs Anisa on my bike.

***

On the way, Anisa and Rani search for the buyer's address using the geogle map app.

"Look at the correct address, Deck." Rani said while riding a motorcycle.

"Sister, later in front of the left turn." Anisa's holding Rani's phone.

Rani deflects the bike according to information Anisa, new housing but still a little inhabited.

"Front turn right, sister," said Anisa steady.

"Still far?" Rani asked again.

"No, after that it's straight, the house at the very end" Anisa replied.

Rani turned again the motor he was driving to the right, after being straight, for a moment he stopped.

"Cock, stop, brother?" Anisha asked in wonder.

"It's a dead end, look ahead, it's just rice fields, Dek." Rani pointed forward explaining.

"Try Rani's sister look." Anisa thrusts a cell phone at Rani. Rani looked and noticed the location.

For a moment they saw the number of houses around them.

"Perhaps the last house, let's continue" said Rani.

They continued their straight journey to the dead end. And the motor stopped in front of the last house, only two houses were occupied and the first and second houses near the alley.

"Yes, this is his house, brother." Anisa was happy to see the address was found.

"Let's get to the door." Take Rani while turning off the motor and put the key in her long skirt pocket.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Rani knocked on the door of the house.

Not long after the door was opened, a grandfather stood in front of the door.

"Excuse me Kek, is this really Cahyani's address who ordered the brownies?" Rani asked.

"That's right, that's my wife's name, let's go in." Take that grandpa.

"No, we're outside. It's cake, cake." Rani takes the cake that Anisa has tote and thrusts it to the grandfather.

"Could cut, my wife is sick in the room."

Looking at the grandfather with meiba's face, for a moment Rani and Anisa looked at him, Rani nodded her head giving the code to obey the request of the grandfather.

"Come in," take grandfather.

Anisa and Rani step inside, a deserted house with no children or anyone else.

"My wife's lying in the room, please son." Grandpa pointed to his room.

Anisa and Rani try to enter, although a little hesitant but they feel bad if they do not help, they are also old after all according to the thoughts of Anisa and Rani.

But, suddenly the grandfather ran towards the door and locked it as fast as possible, and from inside the room, Mr. Slamet came out with a grinning smile.
