For the Sake of a Consecrated Word (You Ignore the Wife's Child)
Apologizing
"Dila... "
A very familiar voice greeted him. Dila immediately turned to the origin of the voice.
"Mother Maya? " say Dila stammered.
"You're doing it here again "ask Maya who saw the sad face of her former sister-in-law.
Dila tried to smile forcefully. "It's okay mbak, I'm just going for a walk" said Dila lying.
"What is Maya doing here? " ask Dila back.
"I was accompanying Arum on a walk and playing. " said Maya while pointing at Arum who was playing.
Dila smiled seeing her niece running around chasing soap bubbles.
Suddenly Dila's stomach rang, and Accidentally Maya immediately looked towards Dila's stomach. His eyes widened when he saw Dila's enlarged stomach.
"Yes Forgive Dila. This What? " squeak with a soft voice.
"You pregnant? " ask again.
And Dila answered with a nod.
"Are you married" asked Maya again in a whisper.
And Dila shook his head in response. "
Maya immediately smothered her own mouth so as not to shout out her shock.
"Then this. "
Dila then tells Maya the disgrace of her life to her ex-sister-in-law, no matter what she sells her disgrace and sadness. Maybe Maya will be filled and help him.
"so you just had surgery last week? "
Dila nodded in response.
"And you ran away from the man who took care of you? "
Dila again nodded.
"Why run? Why not hold on until this child is born? This child may be his real son. " Maya felt sorry for something that happened to Dila
"I can't mbak. I thought I wanted to beat him up if I remembered his wife had killed one of my babies" said Dila, sobbing.
Maya then hugged Dila from the side.
" Patience, maybe it's a test for you. " Ma can only strengthen Dila.
"Where are you going now? "
Dila shook her head.
Seeing that, Maya becomes upset. He pityed but he couldn't bring her to his boarding place either. Because if Yesha knew, Yesha might be angry with her for taking Dila there. Maya knows exactly how Dila treated Yesha first. He always insulted and demeaned Yesha first. Maya does the same, but not as badly as Dila and her mother.
"Actually now I live in Dil's boarding houses, but I can't seem to take you there. "
Dila doesn't understand what Maya meant.
"I do live in a Kost-kosan. But the hostel belongs to Yesha. "
Dila swallowed his salivary rough when he heard the name Yesha mentioned.
"Yes... Yesha. "he said stammering.
"Yes, Yesha. The woman we used to humiliate and demean. Now he has become a master".
"I mean mbak? "
Maya tells who Yesha is now and who her husband is. The Dila also knew, because they had met when the day.
Dila was embarrassed by what she heard. It turns out Yesha's life could have been better when she got out of her mother's house. While their lives now revolve 180°.
"the child can meet me with Yesha's mother, I want to apologize to her. Wishing her to forgive me, and her forgiveness could make me live a quieter and better life" Dila told Maya.
"But, Dil.. "
"Mbak, please. "
"Alright, come. Mumpung is still afternoon. If the night is not good, disturb them. "
Maya finally fulfills Dila's request. Yes, it's possible to apologize to Yesha that her life has gotten better. Like him, who lives quietly with Arum now, even with mediocre money.
"Arum.. let's go home first. " invite Maya to her son who is still cool playing bubbles.
"That's a big chunk mom? " ask Arum with a pouting face.
"This is Aunt Dila wanting to meet Aunt Yesha. "
"Ih, does Aunt Yesha want to meet Aunt Dila? "
Jamb...
the little boy knew whether Yesha would want to meet Dila, because Arum was an eyewitness to their cruelty to Yesha.
"We tried yes. "
"Don't arrive because of aunt Dila, we will be expelled from boarding houses. I don't want to, I'm already there. Can play with Aksa. " said Arum with a whine.
"No dear, Aunt Yesha is good, it is impossible to throw us out. "
The three of them finally return to Maya's boarding house, to meet with Yesha... Today Maya took overtime off, because she wanted to take her son for a walk.
When he reached Yesha's house, Dila was astonished to see Yesha's present residence, not to mention Maya who told him all about Yesha's efforts. It's more and more of Dila's guts to meet Yesha.
Maya rang the doorbell of her house. And out came bi Sumi who opened the gate of his house.
"Mak Maya, what's wrong? " ask Bi Sumi.
"I'd like to meet Yesha bi, what is it? "
The two of them sat on a chair on the porch of the house, while talking while Arum had run to his boarding room.
"House is big yes mbak, " said Dila who was amazed with the house Yesha.
"Yes, even I just got in here for the first time. "
"can we? didn't Maya's employer say Yesha. "ask Dila confused.
"Because we are strangers now, that is what Yesha told me when she accepted me to work here. So don't expect special treatment from Yesha. Even Arum never set foot in this house, he plays with Aksa, if Aksa goes out and plays to the boarding house. "
Dila again swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. Until a greeting greeted him.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam." Maya and Dila looked up and saw Yesha standing before him with a face that, either...
"What's wrong" asked Yesha Ketus to Maya.
"sorry to disturb your time Yesh, this was I met Dila in the park, and she wants to meet you he said. " replied Maya timidly.
Without Dila's babes breaking down on the floor he positioned himself with a sigh, then prostrated at Yesha's feet and cried out.
Seeing that Maya and Yesha were surprised and tried to lift Dila's body which was already covered in tears. Abhi, who heard the commotion outside, soon caught up with his wife, fearing something unwanted might happen.
"What is this." asked Abhi who was already on Yesha's side.
Yesha who kept her position so as not to squat was only able to lift Dila's body as much as possible.
"What's up, baby?" ask Abhi again.
"I don't know, suddenly he was standing in front of me.
Abhi saw the man crying like that, he was surprised to see who he was.
" Take it in, it's not nice to see the neighbors" Abhi said coldly.
Maya then leads Dila into the House. Inside Yesha's house, sitting in a chair, experienced the same event as outside. Dila stood in front of him and held his hand.
"Sir.I'm sorry.I'm sorry for everything I did to you first. Sorry me. " said Dila with a lot of fun.
"You why the hell Dila? " ask Dila did not understand. "Mak Maya can explain what happened to Dila?
Maya nods, and begins to tell Dila what happened.
Yesha smothers her mouth with both her hands after hearing Dila's story from Maya. He then told Dila to get up and sit on the chair. Yesha then looked at her husband. Seeing that Abhi just shook her shoulders. That means all the decisions in Yesha's hands.
"I go inside first, finish it as your heart says, honey. " Abhi kissed Yesha's forehead and then she went inside. Not because of anything, he did not want his handsome face to be looked at for too long by other women.
Yesha exhaled her rough breath. Maybe karma gradually approached the family of her ex-husband. Should he forgive and break this chain of karma?
Seeing Dila who was pregnant without a husband, her son died one and now had to be dangled in the streets. He looked back, his life was better than theirs. Having an established husband, conceiving her legitimate child and having a decent home.
"Whichever Wisdom of God You Lie About. "
Yesha took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He should be thankful and forgive his past. After all Dila already looks very sorry for what he did yesterday.
"Alright, Dila, I forgive you"." Yesha said at last. "Turn to be a good woman. I hope this can be a valuable lesson for you. "
Dila wept when she heard all of Yesha's words. Turns out to be right, this former sister-in-law is a very good woman.
"May I hug you mbak? " pinta Dila to Yesha.
Yesha stretched out her arms, and Dila immediately rushed to hug the woman she had been hurting all this time with her scathing words.
"I'm sorry... "
That's all you can say to Yesha. Yesha returned Dila's embrace and rubbed her hair, and she felt Dila's hair fall out. Yesha immediately let go of her embrace.
"Why is this? " yesha asked Dila by showing her hair falling out.
"That may be my hair that was pulled by the wife of Agus mbak." said Dila with a grimace.
"Astaghfirullah haladzim." cried Yesha money did not think that there are people who are cruel to pregnant women.
"Yesha, Dila has no place to stay. Wanting to go back to mom's house is impossible. Because she doesn't want to embarrass her mother.m I can take Dila to bed in my room tonight? " pinta Maya to Yesha out of pity for Dila.
"Tererah mbak aja. Contracting at my boarding house can also be, provided you can explain to everyone who asks about Dila's pregnancy. " explains Yesha, Yesha, he did not want to be considered a former brother-in-law who let his former brother-in-law dangle in the streets especially when pregnant like him.
Maya and Dila were so excited to hear that.
"Couldn't you.. Can I leave here?" ask Dila in disbelief.
"Yes, there's an empty room in Jihan's old, long unfilled room downstairs near Maya's house. "
"Now you go, not to drive out but I also need a break. We'll talk about this again tomorrow. "
"I'm sorry we've been bothering you, Yesh" said Maya, who felt bad
"Yes." answered Yesha lazily. "And remember this, our current status is only that of a stranger. So don't expect too much from me " said Yesha last time before entering the house.
"Bi. please take Maya out, I'm so tired. " Yesha asked Bi Sumi to take care of her guests.
Dila and Maya looked at each other and smiled. It turns out what Maya said was all true. Tonight he'll sleep at Maya's boarding house, before tomorrow seeing his own boarding house.
In the room, Yesha hugged Abhi tightly.
"Why?" abhi asked, hugging Yesha.
"Why do my past people always come to me? "
"Because they've got karma, and want to apologize to you. "
"why is their karma so cruel? "
"Because Allah rewards them according to what they do, If they realize it, they will surely rise in rank. These are all tests they should accept. Be thankful if they repent. "
Yesha nodded her head at Abhi's words which were very soothing.
