CHARM GIRL ALIM
10. Divorce story
Half a year of living together with her in-laws, Mariam had to divide her three roles at once.
From being a wife, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law to Sindy.
Her husband's family was very pampering Mariam, especially Mr. Hendra who was more protective of his son-in-law.
Mariam should not do homework even if it is cooking or gardening which is her hobby.
"Son Mariam, I'm here!" Said Mr. Hendra while patting the seat in front of him for Mariam.
"Good dad!" Do you need anything to eat or drink?" Ask Mariam who just watered some of the fruit crops she planted tasty months ago such as oranges, mangoes, guavas, melons, papayas and avocados in her spacious back garden.
"No boy!" I asked the waiter to make it." Said Mr. Hendra.
"Mariam, aren't your dates of birth and Rendra exactly the same?" From the day, the date of the month and the year, exactly the same. Did your mother also give birth in a Jakarta hospital?"
"If giving birth in Jakarta, it's true but the hospital I don't know because my mother died after I was five." Mariam.
"Did your father remarry after your mother died?"
"Abi is very loyal to ummi, she would rather take care of me than remarry."
"Is there anything you want to know from my family?"
"No boy!" It's just that your face looks a lot like my ex-wife's. She had exactly the same face as you when you were your age and at the same age she was pregnant with Rendra.
Didn't Rendra tell her mother's facial resemblance to yours?"
"Maybe bang Rendra is indeed my father's match, the proof of my face and his mother is very similar." Mariam.
"If the story about the divorce of his father and mother, I've heard it, but I haven't heard him discuss the face of his birth mother to Mariam, father." Mariam answered who saw the deep sorrow in the eyes of her father-in-law.
"Dad, maybe my question is very presumptuous for you, but if you may know, what caused my father to divorce his mother bang Rendra?"
"That's the mystery, son, Mariam, because up until now, I didn't know why my ex-wife was suing for divorce.
Since giving birth to Rendra who was then, I was abroad, the cold attitude shown by my wife was very confusing.
When I came home from abroad, Rendra was two months old.I was specializing in the heart of American medical school, no longer found a sweet smile from my wife.
He refused to breastfeed our son even though he produced a lot of ASI until the exclusive ASI from him just sank. It makes me very angry. Every time I ask him for his actions, he remains silent to this day.
After Rendra was 6 years old he started cheating and it made me very angry. Instead of apologizing to me for cheating on me, he sent me a divorce warrant and it made me very depressed.
In that moment of depression, I met his mother Sindy who helped me so much to get back up and look at my messy life." Said Mr. Hendra with teary eyes.
"Whether the father is not curious about the treatment of an ex-wife who does not want to breastfeed bang Rendra as a baby, even though it is her own biological child. What else do you and mom love each other, don't you."
"I've forced him to be frank, until I suspect Rendra is not my real son. But I don't want to do a DNA test because I'm sure my wife never cheated.
From the night of the bride until she was declared pregnant, I was always with her at that time. After two weeks of marriage, Rendra's mother was declared pregnant and it made me strongly believe that Rendra was my biological son." Remember Mr. Hendra about his love story that initially did not have problems until the pregnancy of his wife of seven months he received a scholarship to continue his education in America.
"It's really complicated dad, only mom can explain this to us and someday, someday, Mariam was sure that God would turn her back in order to be honest with the masses why she had to leave father and bang Rendra." Mariam comforted her father-in-law not to get too immersed in her love story so strange.
"Do I have to visit my mother-in-law in Turkey?" But, what if bang Rendra refused him to no longer deal with his biological mother?" Mariam asked in silence.
"Dad, can I visit my mother-in-law in Turkey?"
"Do you want to go there Mariam?"
"Yes father, maybe with Mariam there, God willing, we will find the answer to the question of the father that has not been answered by the mother-in-law."
"What if he rejects you, Mariam?" Ask Mr. Hendra to worry.
"Don't you say, our faces look alike?" It's possible, my mother-in-law would accept me, but the thing is, does bang Rendra want to go with me or let me see her real mother?" Mariam's face looked grim at once because she knew that her husband did not want to meet his own mother.
"Let's talk to Rendra. If he refuses, I'll persuade him myself." Said Mr. Hendra.
"Then I'm going to go to Dad's room." Mariam got up from her seat and sat back down because something was still stuck in her heart.
"Dad!"
"Hm!" Mr. Hendra looked at Mariam's face.
"Did you have a picture of my mother-in-law's youth?" Ask Mariam carefully.
Mr. Rendra took Mariam to his room, incidentally mistress Andara was going to go arisan with socialite mothers.
"Come to daddy's room, son. Incidentally there is still a photo of your mother-in-law that I still keep even though only two sheets are left.
The two of them walked together to Mr. Hendra's room. About five minutes later, Mr. Hendra opened a barbed that was hidden behind a wedding photo of him and his mistress Andara.
After opening the safe, Mr. Hendra took a photo of his marriage with Lady Widia and a photo of Widia is still young.
He then gave Mariam a picture of his first wife, who is now just his ex.
Not only that, Madame Widia's face was very similar to her at the moment.
Mariam was just speechless, she felt this resemblance was not a coincidence, her heart suddenly felt a very deep longing for Lady Widia.
"Dad, can I keep a picture of mommy?"
"Please son!"
"Thank you dad!"
Mariam told her father-in-law and went back to her room. Mr. Hendra also wants to rest and sleep.
Mariam lay on the bed while still staring at the photo of her mother-in-law. Mariam also felt an inner attachment between her and her mother-in-law.
"Why does my face look more like mine than ummi's?" Mariam Lirih.
Mariam looked at Madame Widya's face and her current picture. There is nothing different between them.
The shape of the eyes, nose, and also the shape of the face are exactly the same. It's just that Mariam's body is taller than Mrs Widia's.
Mariam took a picture of her umminya and compared it to her and umminya who was still young at the time.
"Seeing from any side, my face is not similar to the ummi nor does it resemble the Abi. Oh, my God, can't I be a pick-me-up kid?" Ah, not when I was that bad to my own parents. " Mariam monologue.
Mariam took her cell phone and called Ijah's aunt.
"Assalamualaikum aunt Ijah!"
"Waalaikumuslam neng Mariam, how are you!" Tumben aunty's phone."
"Sorry aunt Ijah, I'm very busy here, so I'm tired when I get home she wants to go straight to sleep." Mariam.
"Oh no neng, the important thing is that Mariam is always healthy. But do you want to talk about what auntie, lest Mariam get pregnant?"
"Not pregnant aunt, just pray yes, may Mariam get pregnant quickly," pinta Mariam.
"What does Neng Mariam want to talk about?"
"Aunt Ijah, I'm an ummi child with Abi, right?" Ask Mariam.
"Astaghfiullah!" Neng Mariam ko tanyanya?" Why why?"
"No, just ask." Mariam.
"O Allah, you are the son of Ustadz Abdul Muid and the mistress of Andien. " Aunty Ijah said firmly.
"Thank you, Aunt Ijah. How's our tea and vegetable garden?"
"The harvest was very good, the money was transferred to Mariam's aunt Ijah, the rest was distributed to the workers as their wages including Ijah's aunt." Said aunt Ijah.
"Thank you aunt Ijah, but next time pay first all the salaries of the new workers are transferred to Mariam aunt." Mariam Pinta.
"But, Alhamdulillah so far there is no obstacle with their salary neng Mariam. Bibi just followed what Neng Mariam had taught during her marriage to doctor lord Rendra." Said aunt Ijah.
"Thank God aunt Ijah and aunt Luky quickly understood, so Mariam calmly left you with a big responsibility.
May our plantations be more abundant as a result. That way we can bring to life the many families who can't afford our environment." Mariam.
"Neng Mariam is very kind because it has increased the wages for workers doubled even, after he married.
The workers are very grateful, now they can live more worthy thanks to the generosity of Mariam.
Every time Ijah's aunt distributed their wages, they always prayed to neng Mariam and her parents neng Mariam."
"Oh Allah, I am so glad to hear it, Aunt Ijah. They can live more decent life that has made me satisfied inwardly.
Please pray aunty Ijah so that Mariam can get pregnant quickly. Rendra's extended family already misses the presence of a granddaughter from Mariam.
Mariam is very happy that our hope can all be realized, aamiin. It's a long time ago Ijah aunt, soon enough bang Rendra wants to go home. Mariam wants to get ready first. Thank you Aunt Ijah, greetings to everyone. Assalamualaik...
Mariam ended her conversation with Ijah's aunt.
Tok.dok..
Cheque.lek..
Mariam hides a photo of Widia's mistress in her Qur'an. She did not want her husband to know their resemblance.
"Assalamualaikum darling!" Doctor Rendra hugged his wife.
"Waalaikumuslam darling!" Do you miss me?" Mariam asked her more and more tightened her embrace.
