Allow Me to Be Happy

Chapter 23

Days pass. This weekend Rena invited Reza and her two children to visit Mami Lisa's house. Rena intends to express her desire to Mami Lisa and Papi Arya.

Reza has resigned. Currently he only obeyed all the wishes of his wife. If by marrying again can make Rena healed then he will do.

At seven o'clock in the evening they arrive at Mami Lisa's residence. The goddess has also arrived since the afternoon. She contacted the mother about Rena coming with her children. Dewi knew that Rena would talk about her wedding plans. He wanted to see how serious Rena was with a plan that he thought was ridiculous.

After dinner, they all gathered in the living room, while the children had gone back first to play with the pets bought by Omanya when they stayed overnight while Rena was in the hospital yesterday.

“Om, Auntie anyone wants Rena to talk about,” said Rena opened the conversation. The current sitting position of Papi Arya is on a single sofa, beside his left there is Reza and Rena, while in his right there is Mami Lisa and Goddess.

“Rena plans to marry Dewi and Mas Reza,” he said steadily without any doubt.

Mami Lisa and Papi Arya who heard Rena's words were shocked and looked at Rena Reza and Dewi alternately.

“What do you mean Ren? Goddess what does all this mean?” ask Mami Lisa.

The goddess asked only shrugged both of her shoulders.

“Reza are you asking to marry the Goddess? You want to leave your wife because she's sick?” asked Papi Arya who was a little emotional. He thought that this was Reza's wish.

“Not want Reza all this,” the answer is relaxed.

“Om, Auntie don't get me wrong Mas Reza. It's all Rena's own desire Om,” explained Rena.

“Why is this Ren?” ask Mami Lisa.

“Rena just wants the kids and Mas Reza there to take care of someone else.”

“Rena you understand not what you are talking about. You want your husband to be polygamous?” ask Papi Arya.

“Rena understands Om and Rena is sure.”

“Reza, how are you?” ask Papi Arya again.

“If the word Rena yes, means yes, Om.”

“Ck,” decak Dewi while turning her face away from the two of them sitting in front of her.

“Rena, you and Dewi already Aunty consider her own child. Auntie doesn't want you guys to be sad. So please Rena stop this nonsense,” said Mami Lisa who began to shed her tears.

“Let's Aja Mi. Dewi wants to marry Kak Reza,” replied Dewi.

“Goddess!” the Mami Lisa.

“This is not what Dewi wants, Mi. Rena's sister who continues to force the Goddess to be her honey. Okay Goddess accept now. But earlier ...” then Dewi set her sights on Rena.

“Because this marriage is a legitimate marriage, Dewi wants later Kak Reza must be fair. Three days a week Kak Reza must stay with the Goddess, if the weekend is nothing if it should be the same Kak Rena. Then Kak Rena should not be angry or jealous if Kak Reza the same way Goddess. Especially if later Dewi until pregnant, Dewi did not want to see Kak Rena cry because she regretted giving her husband to another woman,” explained Dewi gegebu. His chest rose and fell withholding emotions.

Reza who heard the words of the Goddess just silently flinching. He knew that it was all deliberately done by the Goddess to lure Rena to cancel this marriage. But unfortunately reality is not as expected.

“Diese Frau ist so verruckt (This woman is really crazy),” umpat Dewi.

“Pi,” said Mami Lisa as she shook her husband's hand, hoping that he could stop this madness.

“Let's go, Mi. They're all grown-ups. They know what's good for them,” said Papi.

The goddess, whose mobile phone was shaking, asked for permission to pick up the phone she was allegedly sending from the hospital. He soon returned and decided to go to the hospital because there were patients who had to have surgery that night.

“What do you want the show to be like, Dek?” ask Rena.

“So Kak Rena only,” replied Dewi as she passed. But then he turned back to the living room and looked at Rena.

“How to do it. There was no reception and no unimportant guests. Enough family and closest friends,” he said then immediately left home.

Reza who had been silent just now let out a long breath. He never thought he would have a polygamous marriage. He saw his beloved wife sitting next to him. He meticulously meticulously faces Rena and did not look at all the look of sadness on his face. A sweet smile was given by Rena to her husband.

“What is your heart made of Ren? How stupid of me to hurt your heart,” Inner Reza.

After the evening's talks, it was agreed the wedding would be held a week later. The beginning of Reza and Dewi refused to be held so quickly. But once again Rena asked that they welcome it.

“Isn't faster better? Good intentions should not be delayed.”

There is not much to be prepared because it will only be held akad only, and the place of implementation is the home of Mami Lisa. Rena has repeatedly persuaded the Goddess to carry out marriage according to the wishes of the Goddess, which is to use the custom of Minang. Dewi who have Minang descendants of course want to do it according to custom. But he refused it.

“Kakak want people to know kept Dewi branded pelakor?”

Finally Rena resigned. The goddess is married and she is grateful. At least if he is not long, the people he loves will be cared for and cared for in the right hands.

The awaited day arrives. Reza had spoken his kabuli to the magistrate because the Goddess had no parents anymore. Papi Arya and Bambang's father bear witness. Reza was finally married to two, Dewi became his second wife, and Rena the first wife.

The ones present were really just a little. Close family of Reza, Rena and Goddess. Then there were the three companions of the Goddess, Tania, Leo and Candra also present.

“Takangkana this soon lo nyusulin me, Wi,” whispered Tania when they embraced after Ijab kabul. Tania and Leo got married last week.

“Iya, and I became the second wife,” ketus Dewi.

“Do not frown. Try it out, Wi. All of this must have been his silver lining.”

“Sunday lo.”

Both parents Rena also embraced the Goddess alternately. Father, Mother, and Dirga were quite disappointed initially with Rena's decision. But they could not do much because this was already Rena's decision. They can only pray for good for their children and they also really hope that Rena and Dewi can live well later.
