BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

70. Debates

Hearing Monika's nyiny, actually made my ears hurt a little. Newly married to Ken, she had already questioned whether I had no problem getting offspring or not. It's an impolite question in my opinion.

For newlyweds, questions like these are certainly uncomfortable. Although Ken and I both agreed not to delay if God gave us a child as soon as possible. But again, all according to God's will.

"Oh yeah, Monika, how's the son doing? I'm sorry, I haven't been able to swipe. Understandably, since the incident at that time, we and our family were busy, especially when they found out Ken had a new candidate, Rara. Ken's mother and father, who were most eager to provide support for Ken to quickly marry Rara's son. His brother and sister-in-law were actually the same, wanting Ken to be legitimate quickly. Parents who try who do not want to have a good ghost religion and can take care of themselves. The matter of the child, it is God's business, to be given sooner or later, we leave it to the above. Yeah, right, Rara?" said Mother, rubbing my back.

Somehow, the unpleasant feelings that had appeared so that it turned ordinary with his attitude mother. It turns out that what Monika says does not affect the mother, although sometimes it becomes a sensitive issue for in-laws and daughter-in-laws.

"Yes ma'am." I gave my mom my best smile and prayed that she wouldn't let Ken's mom and dad down.

"Later inshaAllah if we already have free time, the same mother wants Rara to stop by to visit her son Monika. We have never met. How old is he now?" ask mother.

A triumphant smile on Monika's face as she questioned whether I could give a descendant to Ken's sudden disappearance, she instead acted the opposite, turning sour and showing an uncomfortable attitude. I already knew about his disgrace before, the news had horrendous office at that time.

"Yes Mom, it's nothing. Her son doesn't live with Monika. Now she is taken care of by her mother, while Monika lives in her own apartment" Monika said.

"Well, how old is your child?" mom is still chasing Monika with a reply question.

"About four or five months, ma'am." replied Monika, showing her fingers.

"New four or five months have not lived with his birth mother? How's the ASI? It must be an emergency, so it must be separated." mother nodded her head, showing concern.

"That's Mom, Monika has to take care of the job. That's why I left with my mom. Now it's not asian, actually since birth never asi. It's just Sudirman, the doctor said it's okay, the baby's healthy."

"Ckckck, what a pity. Dear Monika, the age of the baby was entrusted. Who does Monika live in the same apartment?"

"Only by yourself, Mom. Monika is divorced."

"Lho you know, sorry you know Monika, instead of mother intervening, mother only gave advice, thankfully accepted, so as not to make mistakes a second time. Is Monika not afraid of happening again like before. It is better to stay with both parents. It's in the same town, right? It's not that we're told to be wary of regretting it later."

"Yes the ma'am. Monika will think again."

"Mother gives this advice not because of the desire for nyinyirin son Monika, you know yourself, I try to care about you."

"Don't Ken, I told you, there must be a boundary between men and women. Later you will learn with Rara only at mother's house. It's nothing, really. How's Rara?"

"Huh, yes ma'am, inshaAllah." I nodded my head, responding to mother's request. While listening to the talk of mother and Monika. Besides how I could be willing, he was alone with my husband, especially I know he still had feelings of love, even though Monika admitted that she wanted to learn religion from Ken. Out there are many ustadzahs to be had, so this is not in an emergency.

"So how's Monika? Want to start learning njai when?" mother asked again.

"Oh, how ya ma'am," Monika looked confused.

"Mom can't wait to see you learn together" said the mother.

"Now it looks like Monika said goodbye first, it's noon, there is still a promise to friends. After all, Rara was aware, she could be left with her mother." before she replied, Monika hurriedly left, so hurried, she forgot to shake hands with me and mother.

"Astagfirullah, astagfirullah, astagfirullah" said the mother, after Monika passed from our view, stroking the chest.

"Mom is okay?" I asked, I was worried that something happened to my mother because she suddenly said Istighfar several times repeatedly.

"Well, mom's really excited about Rara. Actually, the mother most does not like to discuss the disgrace of others, especially to make the interlocutor uncomfortable. But want how else, mother was already upset with Monika's attitude that seemed to deliberately make Rara son uncomfortable. He should have glanced at himself. Why do all that. Since the beginning met deliberately cornered son Rara. She thinks you like it or are you hooked? Actually, he was dropping himself in front of his mother. Luckily Ken wasn't the same. Regretting mom once persuaded Ken to want to go through ta'aruf with her because mom felt sorry for Monika, but we even got a heartless reply. Already so, instead of showing regret by changing, or even embarrassed to meet again because his mistakes are not easy according to mother, but this is the opposite attitude. Like there is no sin, appear even nyindir ghost people, deliberately cornered and make uncomfortable nak Rara. That's why I just reply because I know that Rara's son will definitely not fight it.

Sorry too, son Rara, I was a little maksa nak Rara to want to teach Monika. But trust me, Monika will not want to learn the same as Rara. He just wants to find a chance to be close to Ken.

People like that, I don't think that's good. Already know people are married, still trying to find out let alone approach. Frogs have no shame.

Astagfirullah, astagfirullah, astagfirullah. No, so talk to him again. Never mind, I don't want more sins. Let's forget him, don't take heart, son Rara. What is clear is that I will always be there for Rara when facing Monika or anyone who tries to disturb your household ark" she said firmly.

"Mother, thank you for receiving Rara so well. I'm like Rara's own mother. Rara was truly grateful to her mother and grateful to God for being given such a wonderful new family."

"Mother is also grateful to have a daughter-in-law like you, Ra."

"Hopefully Rara didn't disappoint mom."

After a little quiet, my mom and I went home. We don't continue the shopping anymore.
