A LIFETIME BEHIND THE BARS OF PRISON
episode 8's
Bu Lili was silent for a moment to see the arrival of Mr. Slamet with his entourage. I just stared at him with words in my heart. What else is going to happen.
“Good morning, Mrs Rina.”
With confidence, Mr. Slamet approached me. Hearing the music, the neighbors looked at my house, this time I became a spectacle of some residents of the complex, it was a shame.
“What is this Mr Slamet?” I asked even though I knew his arrival.
“I'm here to apply for Rani.”
Hearing Mr. Slamet's words, Ms. Lili smiled cynically, looking from her face she was like mocking me.
“Pak, I told you, Rani is still in school.”
“Bu Rina, if Rani wants to stay in school and college, I do not mind after marriage later.”
“Sorry sir, I'm sorry, I have no intention of marrying Rani, her age is not yet mature through the household.”
Arya and Randi also came out, they were standing behind me. The monik who saw Arya's presence, just stared at the one I didn't understand the meaning of her gaze.
“You're here Arya?” Bu Lili greeted Arya.
“Iya Aunty, what is this Auntie?” Arya responded to Bu Lili's words.
“So it's not wrong yes, you broke off this engagement because of cheating with Halimah, and you're Bu Rina, you're like a pious man, but support your daughter snatch fiance Monik.”
“Ma, let's go home.” The monik pulled Bu Lili's hand to leave my house, but Ms. Lili refrained from standing.
“Wait for Bu Lili, please do not fuss at my application event, anyhow also Bu Rina my future father-in-law.” Mr. Slamet said that made Ms. Lili smile cynically.
“Oh, so sir Slamet's ex-nominee Bu Rina? Thank goodness then, so that there are no other potential fiancee temptresses anymore.”
“Enough Bu Lili, my son did not tease your son's fiancee!” I said out loud, it was very hard for me to hold back the emotion of hearing him demeaning my son.
“If not flirting then what? Proof Arya is at your house!” Bu Lili was also very high.
“Sorry Aunt, Halimah did not tease me at all, I approached her.”
Arya's words made everyone speechless, some residents who watched whispered like they saw a soap opera spectacle.
“Enough Ma! Let's go home!” Monik cried, and he ran away from my house, while Bu Lili remained silent on the spot, as if he was not satisfied with his anger.
Not long after, Rani came out. I was very surprised to see him smile at Mr. Slamet.
“Mother, I want to marry Mr. Slamet.”
My world feels like falling apart hearing Rani's words, how could my son be interested in the man he deserves to call grandfather, all this time Rani never showed interest in him, Astagfirullah’alazimm.
“Bu Rina, you should marry Rani with Mr. Slamet, it looks like your daughter has been saved.” Some people in the Slamet pack group laughed at Bu Lili's words. It looks very obvious that Mr. Slamet is happy with those words.
“Enough! I'm asking Mr. Slamet to leave my house, don't disturb my daughter!”
I can't hold back my emotions. What happened to Rani, how could she possibly approve of this marriage, O Allah .. please protect my daughters.
“Bu Rina, I'd better think about Rani's will, we like each other. Tomorrow I'm here again.”
Mr. Slamet and his entourage left my house, Rani who was next to me just smiled staring at Mr. Slamet. I held Rani's hand tightly, she tried to let go of my grip and ran over to Mr. Slamet.
“Pak Slamet! Sir ...”
“Rani, don't be shy.” I keep Rani's hand, but she's trying to give me the chance to chase after Slamet's pack.
Seeing me in a difficult situation, Randi and Arya helped me hold Rani so as not to pursue Slamet's pack.
“Let me go! Release him! I want Mr. Slamet!” Rani gave up until she was brought to the room.
No choice, we tied Rani to the bed so as not to run away. Without asking for permission to enter, Ms. Lili gawked into my house and stood at the door of Rani's room, smiling cynically she witnessed what my daughter was going through.
“If you have a nervous child ya carded, dong, Bu Rina.”
At a time like this, Miss Lili still makes me slump with her scathing words.
“Enough! Please leave my house.” I looked at her and pointed at the door for Miss LIli to come out.
I really couldn't help but feel the emotion when Ms. Lili again insulted my daughter. Hearing me so emotional, she left my house with a smile as if happy with what I was going through.
“Makanya, it's already a punishment from God who likes to disturb people's fiancee. If it is not avenged to the perpetrator, yes to the brother of the perpetrator.”
I was trying to take the privilege of hearing Bu Lili's words stepping off the porch and leaving my house.
“Mother, do not mind Aunt Lili, we should look for ustad penetrated Rani.” Arya was standing behind me who was fixated on seeing Bu Lili's departure. I agreed to his idea.
After Ms. Arun helped me contact Ustad, Ustad came, this time two of the ustads who possessed Rani.
In a condition of bondage, the ustad penetrated Rani, various verses of the Qur’an were read, Rani screamed to hear it, I as Mother just try to be steadfast and give all this to Allah swt, swt, I am sure that no trial exceeds the limits of human ability given by God. God is merciful and merciful, forgive our sins, O Allah ….
After the process of rukiyah was completed, ustad left my house, I was very relieved to see rani fall asleep due to vomiting and drained of her energy in the rukiyah earlier. Halimah sat beside Rani lying down, she read the Qur’an in a melodious voice and heard by everyone in my house.
At a glance I see, Arya-Randi and Revelation were stunned to see Halimah reading the Qur’an in a good voice, they admired him.
“Bu Rina, it's best to quickly install the iron trellis door in the back, I'm afraid that the intruder is coming again.”
The words of Bu Arum are heard by Randi, Arya and Revelation. They looked at me and Ms. Arum.
“Is there a intruder in this house, Mommy?” Randi asked.
I told him what happened last night, Randi-Arya and Revelation were shocked to hear my story.
“Looks like Bu Rina's house is not safe, let me find a picker iron door.” Revelation offers and I agree.
For a moment Revelation spoke on her phone, it seemed like she contacted the iron trellis maker for the back door of my house.
“Bu Rina, soon the exchange comes to measure the door.”
“Thank you Revelation,” answer me.
Halimah came out of the room after reading the Qur’an, she stepped towards the kitchen to cook. Arya-Randi and Revelation were stunned to see my daughter pass into the kitchen. Ms. Arun who witnessed these three young men, could read the glare of their eyes staring at my son.
“Bu, it looks like they like Halimah.” Ma'am Arun whispered beside me.
“Let's discuss yes, Mom. Unpleasant to hear them.” I also replied in a whisper.
All this time Miss Arun where I complained and asked for help, she was like a brother to me. Our husband used to be very familiar, we also often visited together, but now everything lives memories, here I alone fight to protect my daughters, heavy, I have to stay strong!
The iron doorkeeper came and measured the back door, Revelation also accompanied the handyman and watched him. This door is located near the kitchen where Halimah is cooking, Revelation often glances at Halimah who does not glance at it at all.
