Forcing Restu

Chapter 9

The next day, Rani chatted with her mother while cooking for breakfast together.

"Ma, I'm with Mas Rio to sign." Rani said straight to the point.

"Where's the contract?" Laras was quite surprised by his daughter's sudden plan.

"Near the hospital where I work, Ma. Let deket also if you want to go to work early in the morning. You see if the morning like to bother, ready breakfast and others, now not only think of yourself, but also serve Mas Rio. So if it's closer to work, it's better, Ma. Not too time-hunted." Rani explained the reason that had suddenly appeared in her head.

"If here right Mama can help you make breakfast, for you also Rio. Mama doesn't matter, no." Laras still objected to his daughter's plans.

"Rani is not good, Ma. Now Rani is already a wife, should be able to practice doing household chores on her own. Rani doesn't want to take care of my mom again and again."

"No papa, Mama can still help you. Mama objected that you guys moved out of this house. Why do you suddenly want to contract, anyway? Honestly Mama still doesn't believe in Rio. Mama still doesn't want you to stay with her." Said Laras which made Rani wonder.

"Well, why, Ma? We're both husband and wife, so staying alone is okay, right?" Rani was amazed by what her mother said.

"Mama is afraid that Rio hurt you, Ran. The way he set you up is proof that he's not a good guy. But strangely, you still can not open the eyes of your heart. Mama was astonished too. What is he using? You can always forgive what he did. Even if a normal person, he would be angry. It could be hate. It's the same thing you do as rape*, because you don't really want it either, do you?" Laras tries to reopen Rani's eyes and mind.

"Yes, Ma. Rani knows, Mas Rio's wrong. But what do you want, Ma? If I disconnect him, I also bother. What if I get pregnant? Who wants responsibility? Where is there a man who wants to be with Rani who has become a former person? Rani has no choice but to continue her relationship with Mas Rio, Ma. He wants to take responsibility, thank God. At least Rani's fate is much better than the women who were left behind after trying to be with her boyfriend." Rani said to me.

"That's your fate, son. If you hadn't known Rio in the past, maybe your fate wouldn't be like this." No matter how much Laras tells Rani, she is still a mother who always loves her child.

"No papa, Ma. Everything has happened, regret is useless. Better to keep up with what's ahead." Rani could understand what her mother felt.

"Yes, just be careful! Although he is your husband, but if you feel hurt, the opponent is not papa. Don't want to be trampled. Mama also ordered, you keep working, make your own money, so as not to depend on your husband. To be honest, Mama still continues to prejudge her badly." The barrel is really taking out all his junk right now.

"Yes, Ma. I also have no intention of quitting my job, Ma."

"Well, if there's anything, don't mention Mama's story."

"Yes, Ma. Mama is calm. Pray for Rani so that all goes well, Ma!"

"definitely. Mama always prays for the best for her children, even though it turns out that the best according to God is not the same as you want." Laras again issued words that hurt Rani.

"Maybe it's the wrong mother to educate, you don't have to apologize to Mama." Laras answered while rubbing his daughter's arm.

"Don't talk about it, Ma. It wasn't Mama who was wrong to educate us, but it was the three of us who were stubborn and liked to do as they pleased. Never listen to your mother's advice." Rani does not want to make her mother become more sad because she feels guilty.

Dawn, his first child who is expected to be the protector of Mama and her sisters, is precisely the wrong association. He did not want to continue school and chose to be a market thug. His job is not careless.

Dewi, her second child who is smart and smart, was schooled until college outside the city. Never come home, the reason is busy college and so forth. It turned out that coming home was with an old man and bringing a toddler. I don't know what's going on in town, nobody knows what's going on. The goddess rejects the story.

And now, Rani, her youngest child who is expected to have better morals than her two brothers, turns out to be the same. So the slave of love, to forget everything. It is only natural that Laras feels really failed in educating his children.

"Just one message Mama, just this time, please remember and follow, yes!"

"What, Ma? Rani will definitely follow!"

"You have to be a strong, tough woman and not depend on your husband. So, if your husband does something that is off the mark, you can still stand on your own feet. Please remember this message, yes!" Baras gave the last message to his youngest child.

That sounds awkward. It is not an invitation to obey the husband, respect and submissive as is usually given during marriage studies, or a encouragement to solve the problem alone. However, which was presented by Laras actually told Rani to be on guard and always be vigilant if faced with the worst possibility. Even tend to hope that the relationship between Rani and Rio will end soon.

Laras who had caught Rio walking hand in hand with another woman, while joking and laughing, made him give a stamp on Rio that he is not a loyal man. Laras was convinced, at that time Rio was already in a relationship with Rani. Because before Rani introduced Rio to her, Laras did not know Rio at all. So, when you see Rio at that time, it means that Rio has been introduced by Rani to him.

"Yes, Ma. I must remember this message from Mama. Thank you very much, Ma. I still want to forgive Rani. Rani has disappointed Mama too much." Rani hugged her mother again.

"Until anytime, you're still Mama's kids. Whatever you do, it won't lessen your Mama's affection for you." Speak Baras to Rani.

The two of them hugged each other long enough, forgetting their cooking.

"Ma? What's this smell?" Rani asked while sniffing her sense of smell.

"God! The fried tempeh is scorching!"
