After the Rain

Different Advice

The deg!

Both Miss Maryam and Grandpa Ahmad were shocked to hear Yandri's confession.

"But why?" tanya Bu Maryam and Grandpa Ahmad together.

Yandri straightened his body. He wiped away the remaining tears that melted down both of his cheeks.

"Daniar felt, he was already inappropriate to accompany Yandri. And he assumed that if one day, Yandri would leave because he could not give offspring again. For God's sake ... Yandri will never leave him. Yandri sincerely accepted him under any circumstances. Yandri already has the Stars, and Yandri will not expect to have any more children" Yandri replied at length.

"The star is a girl, Yan. After all, you should be able to have a male descendant as your heir. Daniar's attitude is correct, unless he is ready to be polygamous, so you have a son," said Miss Maryam without feeling guilty in the slightest.

"Mother!" yelled Grandpa Ahmad.

"Ish, don't yell like that, sir. I'm not a bitch!" exclaim Miss Maryam. "Are you talking wrong? Actually, right, if every parent must want a male offspring as his heir. After all, in this world, that woman was not just a Daniar. There are still many women who are ready to be your companion and give a boy your pad," cerocos ma'am Maryam.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim, ma'am .. Your son is sad. At least, have a little. Not even adding to his mind. Advice from Grandpa Ahmad.

"Udah, yes ... You do not have to interfere in the affairs of the children of Mother," said Ms. Maryam who did not accept being reprimanded in front of her child.

"Oh Allah, I have a duty to remind you, Ma'am. Not intending to interfere," said Grandpa Ahmad. "Now Nak Yandri, now Nak Yandri is home. Sorry, I didn't mean to expel Nak Yandri. I'm just worried that Nak Yandri's mind will get heavier if he keeps getting bad words from his mother Nak Yandri" said Grandpa Ahmad bluntly.

Yes, Ahmad's grandfather did not like his wife's temperament which turned out to make things worse.

"Mr!" cry Miss Maryam, "lovely God you vilify Mom in front of your own child!" continued.

Grandpa Ahmad just took a deep breath. "Inget age, Mom. It's not good to mess up your child's mood!" grandpa Ahmad's.

Hearing the debate between his parents, Yandri's mind grew mummified. Therefore, he decided to resign.

"Father is right, right now Yandri needs calm. Then, Yandri excuse me first," said Yandri while taking out a wallet. "This is pocket money for Mom, hopefully useful," continued Yandri handed five pieces of money a hundred thousand.

"Cock's only five hundred, Yan. Now you don't have to halve your salary with Daniar" said Ms. Maryam.

"Astaghfirullah, Mommy!" snapped Grandpa Ahmad. "Now Nak Yandri, don't listen to him. Go!"

Yandri can only stroke the chest. A moment later, he got out of the house and returned to drive home.

Along the way, Yandri's mind was overwhelmed with incomparable confusion. He was confused, out of nowhere he should go home and settle down. Just counting the hours, then he would never have a home again to go home to.

"Oh my God .. Why is the end of my love story like this?" yandri Gumam.

As she was drowning in her confusion, Yandri suddenly remembered the house she had bought when she learned Daniar was pregnant with a second child. A house that Yandri will present to his wife as an eleventh wedding anniversary gift.

Yandri also rotated direction and immediately tancap gas in order to quickly get to the house surprise.

Meanwhile, a fight again occurred at Grandpa Ahmad's house. Although in between the squabbles, Miss Maryam never let go of her smile after knowing the fate of the Yandri household.

Hmm, hopefully after the divorce later, Yandri will come back to me. Back to being a submissive child and always attach importance to his mother above all else, the inner Maryam is triumphant.

A few hours have passed. Daniar blinked his eyes as I looked at Azan magrib. He got up and immediately closed the window curtain that was still open. Shortly thereafter, Daniar left the room and went to the bathroom to ablaze.

As he passed through the living room, he did not see a single occupant of the house. Hmm, maybe they are praying, inner Daniar.

Daniar swung his steps back into the room. He immediately did his duty of praying magrib. In her last bow, she returned to her husband's safety and happiness. There is no news more joyous than the safety of the husband, or perhaps more precisely the ex-husband. Because the words of Yandri earlier, it includes dropping talak to Daniar even though it is still religious.

After praying, Daniar still refused to meet his only daughter. Daniar is afraid that his daughter will interrogate him about his separation. After all, the Star would definitely be hurt by this farewell. Daniar decided to teach until the time isya.

Time passes so quickly. Azan is heard again. Feeling that he still has ablution, Daniar again fulfilled his obligation to perform the isha prayer.

Meanwhile, in the family room.

"Have you prayed, Bin?" mrs Salma asked her granddaughter.

"Already, Nin," replied the star who was still fond of doodling picture books.

"Yes already, sleep gih!" ma'am Salma's orders. "Don't you go to school tomorrow?" continued.

"A little while, Nin. The stars are waiting for me to come home" replied the star.

Ms. Salma shook her head to hear her grandson's answer. It feels, the heart of Ms. Salma is so sore when imagining if the waiting of the Star will only be in vain.

"Bintang Darling .. preferably, from now on the Star does not have to force itself to wait for father to come home," said Ms. Salma, carefully.

Star looks. "Have you separated from your mother?" tanyakanya.

Ms. Salma was silent, her eyes were already teary thinking about the fate of her granddaughter.

The star moved from its seat. "Not to worry, Enin. Stars must be good children so that father and mother can be together again. Then, star bobo first. Drug Enin, emmmuaah," said Bintang while kissing the cheek of Miss Salma.

"Yes, Honey. Come on, Enin accompany me," replied Ms. Salma.

The star takes care of his drawing equipment. They then went to the room to rest.

It took more than an hour to make the stars completely sleep in their sleep. Ms. Salma glanced at the working clock located on the nightstand.

It's 9 o'clock. I better lock the back gate. Maybe Yandri is coming home to his mother's place, so he has not come until this hour, said Ms. Salma.

After exiting the Star room, Ms. Salma opened the door to Daniar's room. Apparently, her eldest daughter had fallen asleep. Miss Salma approached Daniar. He allowed Daniar's blanket to reach the chest.

After peeping her daughter's forehead, Ms. Salma came out of Daniar's room. He took a step towards the backyard. When Ms. Salma was about to lock the gate, she suddenly saw a light that was getting brighter and brighter.

Apparently, the light came from a vehicle that came and started to stop in front of the gate.

Ms. Salma also denied her intention to lock the door. He opened the gate to see whose car was coming.

Ms. Salma's smile expanded when she realized Yandri's vehicle had stopped right at the door. Finally, he opened the gate wide so that Yandri's car could enter.

"Not sleeping, Mom?" yandri asked, shortly after parking his car.

"Not yet, Nak Yandri," replied Ms. Salma.

"Same star Daniar?" ask Yandri again.

"They're asleep. Probably because of fatigue too. All day long, Daniar shut himself up in his room. As for the stars, he was waiting for you to come home. However, when Mother gives an understanding if maybe you're not going home, finally the stars want to also be told to sleep.

Bemoan. It felt like Yandri's heart was so sore because it had given sorrow to his two heirs.

"I-mom .. Do you still think of Yandri as Mother's son?" yandri asked hoarsely for enduring his sorrow.

"Ish, what are you talking about, Nak Yandri? For me, you are still my son. Although someday, there is no longer a marriage bond between you and your daughter," said Ms. Salma.

"Mother, can Yandri talk to Mom for a while?" yandri pinta.

"Of course, son. What do you want to talk about?" ask Miss Salma.

"We'd better talk there, ma'am!" Appoint Yandri on the rear gazebo.

"Step, Son. Mother padlock the gate first" said Ms. Salma.

"Let's just Yandri, Mom. I'd better wait in the gazebo" said Yandri.

Ms. Salma nodded. He then handed the gate padlock to Yandri. A moment later, he stepped his foot towards the gazebo.

A few minutes passed. After locking the gate, Yandri approached Ms. Salma and sat cross-legged in front of the mother-in-law.

"Before, Yandri apologized if what Yandri wanted to ask Mom, could offend mother," said Yandri, starting the conversation.

"Hmm, Nak Yandri .. No matter how much a parent feels offended by the words of his son, he will never be angry. Because, every parent must always consider his sons and daughters are still small. So it still needs guidance in any case, including acting and speaking. To be a better person," said Ms. Salma.

Yandri. For some reason, since the beginning of knowing the Daniar family, the words of Ms. Salma can always calm the heart of Yandri.

"Mother, what was it before Daniar decided to sue Yandri for divorce, that he had complained about Yandri?" ask Yandri.

Miss Salma smiled. "Daniar is not the kind of person who complains all the time, son. Complaining about those closest to him. He also never complained about the bond you have. Daniar is very grateful when you are able to accept her and make her a better woman" replied Ms. Salma.

"Lantas, why did she ask for a divorce, ma'am? What is Yandri's fault is that he is unable to give Yandri a chance to fix it" Yandri said.

"It's not you who should fix it, but your mother" muttered Bu Salma who was still heard by Yandri.

"I mean Mom?" ask Yandri wonder.

"Eh, anu .. emm .. that's, son. I mean Mother .. sometimes many tests that hit married life. The exam can come from ourselves, family, or even outsiders. Daniar does not have a test that comes from outsiders. However, when the test comes from ourselves and family, it is much harder to deal with it. The dilemma, of course, he felt the dilemma of having to stand between two equally heavy choices. You yourself know how your wife is related to your mother. Daniar just does not want to position you in the middle, where later you have to choose between mother and wife. You get it, don't you, I mean?"

"Lantas, what should Yandri do, ma'am?"

"Patience, Son. If your soul mate is strong, no matter how far apart, then you will be reunited. Give Daniar time to be able to stand the test. And give your mother a chance to enjoy the fruits of your efforts without having to feel competing with your daughter-in-law." Advice from Ms. Salma.

"I'm sorry about mom's attitude, ma'am. Yandri himself has tried to be fair" Yandri said.

"Mom understands, Son. Mother herself does not blame your mother's wishes for your devotion. I understand his disappointment. However, Mother also did not want to see Daniar have to continue to sacrifice her feelings. Therefore, when she decided to part ways, Mother tried to understand the decision from Daniar's point of view. If your love is strong, then give her (love) time to prove it!" firmly Ms. Salma.

A firmness that makes Yandri's heart determined to prove it. Mom's right. If our love is strong, why should we be anxious. Maybe love doesn't have to have each other. However, love definitely knows where she should dock and settle down.

"Thank you, ma'am," said Yandri, laying his head in the lap of his mother-in-law.

"Together, Son. Do dedication to your mother. Remember, Son. There is a hadith that says, if God's pleasure is in the service of your parents. Try to make your mother respect your every effort to achieve love and success" added Ms. Salma.

"Good, Mom."

After talking at length with her mother-in-law who might be a former mother-in-law tomorrow, Yandri's feelings were calm.

The two old ladies who were very respectful, both gave advice to Yandri. However, for some reason it was the mother-in-law's advice that made Yandri's mind feel clear, Yandri's heart felt serene. In stark contrast to the advice of biological mothers who only make Yandri's brain feel hot.

However, the biological mother is still the biological mother. It will never be replaced by any mother in the world. Sundanese proverb says, bad teak board, which means: no matter how bad the nature of brothers, they are still your brothers. So too with the parents. As bad as your parents' attitude is, they are still your own parents. So it should be respected."

"Yes already, son. It's too late, you better rest in the Star room!" continued Ms. Salma.

Yandri held his head up. For a moment, he stared fixedly at his mother-in-law.

"Mother" call Yandri.

"Yes" replied Salma.

"If tomorrow Yandri is no longer Mom's daughter-in-law, will you allow Yandri to come back to this house?" ask Yandri, grievous.

"There will be no parents who will expel their children. You can come as you please to come here, son. There are stars here too. However, it would be wiser if you did not stay. Because after all, after you've separated, you're not the mahram of each other. Avoid slander, because slander is more vile," said Ms. Salma.

"Yandri knows, Mom."
