BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

85. The Journey Home

"Kok quiet?" ken asked, after the car he was driving drove quite far from papa's house.

"I'm thinking." I said.

"About what?"

"Aunty Wira's last words?"

"Oaths of absorbency?"

"Also infidelity. Is that true? If so, why don't I ever know?"

" My dear wife, would you like to hear a story?" Ken glanced at me, then looked straight ahead again as he also had to drive. "There was a woman, she married the man she loved. The first year of marriage she felt everything was perfect, no flaw in the slightest until praise for the praise she often said to her family about her husband. Her family thought her husband was a very nice man.

Then, entering her second year, her husband began to change completely. Cuek, rough and lazy. Very different attitude before they had children. Even her husband does not want to work, continues to undermine his wife to give money for him.

His wife actually could not stand it, but did not know who to complain to because the whole family knew that her husband was a good man according to his wife's confession. She was afraid that later she would be accused again that it was wrong, especially her husband was good at theatrics. Being a perfect husband in front of people but actually being rude and having no feelings for his wife.

Feelings of wanting to give up, even about to commit suicide had stopped especially when she knew that her husband turned out to have been wishing since the beginning of their marriage.

You must be asking, why would her husband marry that woman if it turns out not love? The answer is, because the man is a parasite that wants to live a good life by sticking to his host. That is how he, wants to have money without hard work, so rely on his wife to work hard to meet his needs and also his mistress.

While the woman lived in a nelangsa. Every day he feels depressed, but does not dare to talk because he believes the world will judge him, not to mention does not want his son to lose the love of a father.

All efforts have been made by the woman in order to escape. She had felt hopeful when she finally returned to conceive a second child, but it turned out that her husband was still an irresponsible man who did not love her and only took advantage of her.

He had no idea what else to do but pray. Until finally, in desperation, before deciding to commit suicide again for the second time by inviting his two young children, finally all the property he had donated, including their home, of course her husband was angry and divorced. Her husband accused her of being crazy, but that was the way to get freedom even though he eventually had to lose property and the family who followed accused him of being crazy. He was almost separated from his two children.

The woman stood firm, trying to get up. Proving that he is sane. A very difficult struggle, but he did not give up because of the new freedom he found and there are still many challenges ahead, one of which is to make his children do not hate their father.

Well, so good that woman Ra, even though she has been hurt so many years, she still does not want her children to hate her father. The pain he kept himself, he was always convinced that later the crime would open itself without needing to be opened, and today it happened Ra.

You don't have to worry about the oath of papa or Aunt Wira. You're not wrong, Ra. From the beginning the guilty is papa. Now, he himself opened his disgrace. Mama only told me this when I visited my mom without your knowledge because I needed to be sure that my mom was okay." Ken sidelined his car, the man looked at me with teary eyes. "Please be strong and strong for your mom. You know how much he loves you. How much burden he has been carrying all this time. Now that you're happy, don't let the cloud of sadness envelop your heart anymore." pinta Ken stroked gently on my head

"Mas ..." I can't help but cry. "Why don't I know."

"Because mom doesn't like her kids to hate. Mom just wants her kids to be full of love. But not stupid, let alone weak!"

"But why are you just the same story?"

"I feel like mom's still traumatized, Ra. The biggest reason papa is still related to Aunt Wira even though papa is married to mama is because of love. Actually papa does not love mama because he feels mama is not as beautiful as Aunt Wira. But papa forgot, Mama's heart is much prettier than hers and Aunt Wira doesn't have any of that."

"Looks like. But I've convinced you that I chose you because your advantages are much more and that can cover one deficiency even though I don't think it's a lack, Ra. You are beautiful, special in your own image."

"Mas," I don't know what to say, just hugging Ken. I am lucky to have a husband like him. "Can we stop by Mom's house?"

"Can we go to Mama's place now."

"But what about work? Is it still office hours?"

"It's okay to occasionally skip, I'm also being hooked with the work piled up. Want to eat fried noodles made by mama" said Ken while showing his smile.

We arrived at my mother's house to coincide with Dinda who had just arrived home. He was a bit surprised by our arrival.

"What's up, brother?" ask Dinda.

"Nothing, just kangen mama." I immediately cheered in, Ken was heard asking for fried noodles on the new khadim employed by Ke , it looks like he is really hungry.

"Rara?" Mama looked confused. "What's wrong?"

"The new Rara from papa's house." I said.

"What's the matter, Ra? Papa and Aunt Wira why else?"

"Nothing ma, all has been cleared by Ken mas. Rara just misses mom. Can Rara hug you?"

"Of course, son." Mama spread her arms, I was immediately anchored in my mother's arms.

"Ma, Rara hopes that she will be patient, even though she is hurt but can still forgive. Aunty has told herself that she and papa cheated on me while mom was married."

"Astagfirullah,"

"It is appropriate that until now there was not a single mother family who wanted to be close to us. Papa is outrageous."

"Sooner or later everything will be discovered, Ra. We just need to be patient, but don't want to be used again" said Mama.

"Why can you be that patient?"

"Ra, not always people have the power to retaliate. Mama just hopes that what you do can be a way of kindness for you, they may have made Mama suffer, but all must be in return. Sooner or later, in the world or in the afterlife" said mama, as she gently stroked my back.
