Don't Take My Son

Rakha's

Loneliness is sometimes needed to calm down while contemplating the journey of life full of twists and turns, as well as introspection whether it has lived life properly, especially when the test comes to continue whack. That's what Kharisa is doing right now. After leaving Mami Rafael at the restaurant, he did not go straight home. With a feeling of disappointment, angry he drove his motorbike to a mosque known as Tajug Gede which is a mosque of pride of local residents there. The mosque is crowded during holidays because it has a beautiful garden, and many have interesting spots to take pictures. If the working day of the mosque looks quiet because it is far from the neighborhood of the residents, only a few people who stop to pray or rest.

After praying and confiding and praying to the Khalik, Kharisa sat in the hallway of the mosque area of women, there was no one there, there are only a few male visitors who go in and out of the mosque to pray. He still refused to go home. He did not want to look sad when he returned home, his eyes did look swollen. And when he met his mother he certainly could not help his sadness, as if not sad, the person who had always loved him sincerely, protected him, defended him, defended him, struggling together in order to live life well suddenly there are others who casually denounce his mother, accusing her of being a teaser of someone else's husband, he said, and even sadder that his mother taught him to tease Rafael, and it came out of the mouth of a woman who was none other than the mother of the man he loved.

Of course what Mami Rafael says is not true, and the fall is slander. He knows how his mother can marry his father, mama Lisna herself who is the story, so it is impossible to make up the story. Mama Lisna who asked her mother to marry papa, even mother had refused because she did not want to hurt the feelings of mama Lisna, and mama herself at that time did not love papa, but she refused, there is fear and reluctance because papa is the boss at work. But finally mama wanted after being persuaded mama Lisna and mama Lisna's condition when it began to decline. So there's no story of mama Kharisa teasing papa.

Now all he has to think about is whether he will continue his relationship with Rafael or leave Rafael as his mother requested, frankly for now he has not been able to take this decision. All he thought about was Rakha's son. But seeing how Rafael's mom's attitude towards him, it feels hard to deal with him.

He felt the vibration of HP in his bag, since he was going to meet his mother Rafael deliberately HPnya he was silent.

Raphael......

Kharisa sighed, staring at his HP screen but reluctant to accept the call, until finally his HP did not shake anymore. He checked the incoming notifications, it turned out that many incoming WA calls and messages, from Rafael to more than twenty calls, Vania and Faisal were in touch.

"Sa, where are you?"

"Are you ok?"

"Thank you for my call, please."

"Sa, I'm going to your house."

It was a message that Rafael sent, but Kharisa did not reply. He was more curious to open a message from Faisal.

"Neng A Isal is going there."

"Neng's okay, right?"

"Neng where? Isal is going to go out on a toll."

Karisa immediately replied to a message from Faisal.

Somehow after replying to Kharisa's message, Faisal felt unsettled, even though he gave advice to Kharisa to think positively, even he himself was negative thinking. Knowing that Kharisa was going to meet his mother Rafael reminded him of what happened a few years ago, how hurt Kharisa was then, and now he worries about it if it happens again. What if Rafael's mother still won't accept Kharisa? And put out words that hurt Kharisa's feelings again?

His worries eventually led to his move to the highway, stopping a city transport that could take him to a bus stop near the motorway door. On the bus he tried to contact Kharisa, connected but not picked up. He sent a message, but it was not read. Until the moment he saw his message read and in reply to Kharisa, he immediately contacted him.

"Assalamoakaikum's chat. Neng you're okay, right?"

"Where's the ring?" Tnaya Faisal was full of worries.

Kharisa also told her whereabouts, she was relieved to know Kharisa was fine but she knew her tone sounded Kharisa was sad.

"Miss......" Kharisa immediately turned his head to hear a familiar voice calling out to him.

"A....." Kharisa smiled his smile trying not to show his sadness.

"Neng, did Rafael's mother let Neng down again?" Guess Faisal after he sat cross-legged in front of Kharisa, now he believes his concern did occur, although Kharisa tried to smile but he could still see there was sadness and disappointment from his face.

"Mami Rafael really doesn't want to admit I'm his son-in-law." Answer Kharisa bitterly.

"Reason?" This makes Faisal curious, including Kharisa also curious and earlier he found out the reason that he thought the reason did not make any real sense.

"Because I was born to a second wife, Rafael's mother thought she was a seductress, and I was like a mother who teased Rafael until I became pregnant." Kharisa's eyes began to glaze over, sad to remember his mother was accused like that, even denigrated. Kharisa also did not accept his mother was denigrated.

"Aunty, if aunty does not like me, aunty does not need to bring my mother, aunty has no right to insult my mother. Aunty can insult me, but don't insult my mama, what aunty accuses is not right." That is what Kharisa said to defend his mother, he did not want his mother insulted, may he be insulted but not with his mother.

"Why did Rafael's mother think that?" Faisal looked astonished. Kharisa shook his head, he also did not know why Rafael's mother could think like that, knew not with his papa mama, maybe he got information from the other party, he could get information from other parties, but why so sure without confirmation again.

"I don't know either, but it's A, I'm tired, I think I better give up, not with Rafael anyway, he's still Rakha's father, still will be Rakha's dady, anyway, I'm not going to break the relationship between father and son, but to live together, it doesn't seem like it can." Kharisa looked at the sky that began to look cloudy, like his heart was shrouded in fog when he remembered the words of Rafael's mother earlier.

"You take it easy, I've already recognized Rakha as our grandson, and Rafael will be responsible for carrying Rakha's living expenses, including taking care of your life, because you are taking care of our grandson. So never try to keep Rakha away from us, and from Rafael, because we have a right to Rakha too." Rafael's mother's words had made Kharisa stunned, it was nice now to feel he had the right to Rakha after what they did first, what no shame to himself as well as to his granddaughter. But he could only take a deep breath not to agree nor to dispute it.

"If there's nothing to talk about anymore, excuse me." That sentence was spoken to end the conversation with Rafael's mother. Although feeling disrespectful Kharisa walked away from Rafael's mother who seemed to still have something to talk about, but Kharisa did not want to hear anything more, let alone deal with his son. He was afraid that Rafael's family would sue Rakha.

"Neng..don't make decisions in haste, think carefully, not because emotions later regret later." As usual Faisal always reminded Kharisa, he knew Kharisa was in an emotional state, not thinking long.

"I've thought of it A, God willing, this is the best."

"Neng has not talked about it with Rafael, talk first, who knows Rafael has a solution, A Isal believes Rafael will not just accept Neng's decision. Didn't Neng and Rafael love each other, think of Rakha as well."

"Mami Rafael doesn't want me to be A's daughter-in-law, he will definitely keep trying to disrupt us, separate us. I better give up, Rafael will not come after me again if I decide to marry another man who wants to be a father to Rakha, not even Rakha will get the affection of more than two fathers." I have no idea since when it occurred to Kharisa to marry another man besides Rafael.

"Actually someone deserves to be Rakha's father, he loves Rakha very much, but I don't know if he wants to be Rakha's father by marrying his mother or not." Kharisa's words made Faisal frown, in his heart he asked, who is the man close to Kharisa even loved Rakha very much and inexplicably a sense of disappointment appeared in his heart. Could there be other men close to Kharisa?

"A...A Isal want to not be Rakha's father?" Faisal was shocked to hear Kharisa's question.
