After the Rain

Truth

Her night. After Bintang went to sleep, Daniar approached her husband who was working on the SPJ report.

"Busy huh, Dad?" daniar asked while sitting next to his husband.

"It's not too busy either, Bun. Just revise the SPJ only," said Yandri.

"Mother can talk seriously?" Daniar asked back.

Yandri's fingers, dancing on the keyboard, stopped. He then looked at his wife with a frown that was wrinkled from astonishment.

"What's up, Bun? How do you seem so serious?"

"Mother just wants to convey the mandate of wak Tania."

"Message from wak Tania? Who for?" yandri asked increasingly cluelessly.

"For Dad, Mother is talking to Dad, '" Daniar said.

Yandri. "Yes, I was just wondering. What message, Bun?" tanyakanya.

"Wis nanya, he said Dad would not, be a teacher at Maz Islamic boarding school?"

Yandri's forehead is back in a frown. "There's a teacher vacancy there, Bun? Not to get into that school, really selective, huh?"

"Mother also does not know there is or does not have a teacher vacancy there. But clearly, uwak is waiting for an answer from Dad as soon as possible," replied Daniar.

For a moment, Yandri fell silent. To be honest, he himself was still confused by the offer given by his brother-in-law. If viewed in terms of income, of course the salary there is more tempting than where he works today. However, there were many risks he had to face. One of them, back separated with his son and wife. And yandri, not ready for that.

"Where, Dad?" tanya Daniar broke her husband's daydream.

"Come, Bun. Father was confused," Yandri replied as he leaned his back against the back of the chair. "According to Mommy?" yandri.

"Mother anyway, it's up to Dad. However, if the offer happens the same Mother, hmm ... Mommy's probably gonna try it, Dad. Chance, don't come twice. Who knows if there is a soul mate. Wouldn't God change someone's fate if they didn't try?" answer Daniar at length.

What Daniar said is true. There is no harm in trying. Others had to go to great lengths to get into the place, but Yandri. So it must not be wasted.

"Alright, Bun. Tomorrow call Tania's wak and tell her if you're willing to be a teacher there" Yandri said.

The next day, Daniar contacted Tania to discuss the results of the discussion last night.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Brother!" hello Tania on the other end of the phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Sorry to interrupt Wak's time. Niar just wants to say that kang Yandri is willing to accept Uwak's offer to work at the boarding school."

"Ah, thank goodness then, brother. Yes, please tell Yandri that next Monday he must go to Jakarta to undergo a test of knowledge and skills. If it's in the Rambutan terminal, tell him to call Ihsan. Let Ihsan pick you up at the terminal. Know it, brother."

"Yes, Wak. Later Niar tell the same to Yandri."

"Yes already Kak, Uwak hang up his phone, yes. It just so happens that there's a guest who presses the doorbell."

"Okay Wak" Daniar replied, closing his phone.

A moment later, Daniar sent a message to her husband regarding what he had just talked to Tania.

Arriving at his mother's house, Yandri was a little stunned when he saw the neighbors of the house was making a fortress owned by his mother. Feeling that something was wrong, Yandri then approached the neighbor to ask.

"Sorry, Uncle? Why is the land fortified like this, huh?" yandri asked Mr. Hamid

"Eh, you're Yan. Yes, deliberately Uncle fortress let the children of Maryam know the limit," said Mr. Hamid.

Yandri frowned. "I mean Uncle?"

"This is a loh, Yan? Yesterday your brother-in-law came in angry. He said that Uncle is greedy and wants to rule your mother's land. He accused Uncle of changing the perimeter. Yes Uncle, I don't accept it. Yes, Uncle fortress. Let them know which is the boundary between Uncle's land and your mother's land" said Mr. Hamid.

"Sorry, Uncle. But isn't Uncle fortifying mother's land? asked Yandri who did know if the land that was being given a barrier was his mother's land.

"Hahaha, apparently you don't know yet, Yan. Ish the Maryam is how the hell, I told you he had to talk first with all his children just came to me," said Mr. Hamid, ketus.

"I mean Uncle?" ask Yandri wonder.

"So this is it, Yan. Your mother sold this land to uncle. Well, before Raihan left for Sumatra, he came to bring the money. So, yes, now this land belongs to uncle" replied Mr. Hamid.

Yandri just gawked at Pak Hamid's answer.

Before Raihan to Sumatra? That means, it has been two years more his mother hid it. Oh my God ... Why would you sell land to someone else? Why don't you offer this land to your children first? In fact, my mother used to know if I ever wanted the land and intended to buy it. But why did you sell it to Hamid? inward Yandri who was so disappointed in his mother's attitude.

When Yandri was still stunned in his disappointment. Suddenly a motorbike stopped right in front of his mother's house. Yandri turned his head and smiled when he saw the biker. Alhamdulillah, apparently Raihan has made progress, inner Yandri.

Not wanting to be too late in his disappointment, Yandri finally tried to mengikhlaskan land that became his dream to build a house there. He then told Mr. Hamid. Then join with his mother who has welcomed Raihan and Mia first.

"Well, the new motor," Yandri's goda

"Eh, yes Bang," answered Raihan, clumsy.

"Alhamdulillah Rai, I am grateful that you did not have to live abroad for two years. Finally you can improve the economy of your family," said Yandri sincerely.

"I-iya, Ba-bang," Raihan replied.

"Oh yeah, by the way, when do you want to pay your wife's balance arrears? Honestly, Rai ... Abang is not good with the server owner," replied Yandri who collected his sister's debt while in Sumatra first.

Raihan. He thought, Yandri has forgotten all his debts. Therefore Raihan bought a motorbike from all the money from his business. For a moment, he looked at his mother for help.

"Bab, Yan. Your brother's economy just crawled, why you even discuss debt, anyway. After all, the one who owed it was your sister, not someone else. I know, you're acting like this because of your wife's incitement, right? Huh, you never end up thinking the same attitude of your wife, Yan." Suddenly his mother snorted in annoyance.

"Eh, how come I brought Daniar with me, anyway? This has absolutely nothing to do with Daniar. Yandri owed a debt to Raihan, because indeed Raihan promised to pay it after he returned from Sumatra," replied Yandri.

"Huh, just excuse me. No need to cover up anymore. Your wife never likes it when Raihan and Mia are happy. Come on in Raihan, Mia!" concluded Miss Maryam while taking her son and daughter-in-law into the house.

"Sorry Bang, Rai as Mia entered first," Raihan said as he grabbed Mia's hand and passed Yandri just like that.

Astaghfirullahaladzim .. Why is everything like this? Why is it so easy for Mama and Raihan to forget all his promises? What Daniar said was true. They must have forgotten their debt when they had money.

The feeling of guilt deepened in Yandri's heart. The regret returned. In order to fulfill Raihan's request, he abandoned his sick child. However, Raihan's reply turned out like this. Yandri only smiled wryly as he realized all the truth about his sister.
