God's Choice of Mate

My senses.

Me and Mr. Budi arrived at the Suprapto family residence.

The afternoon continues to go away in place of the transition of gray twilight approaching night.

The sky also looks darker with the rain that has not subsided.

The air feels increasingly cold along with wind gusts that evoke dry and brittle leaves.

I got out of the car carrying a bag containing my clothes and some other gear.

With a slow step accompanied by Mr. Budi I entered the house.

Czechkkk.....

I opened the door slowly as I read the do'a entering the house,

"Allahumma innii as-aluka khoirol mauliji wa khoirol makhroji bismillaahi wa lajnaa wa bismillaahi khorojnaa wa'alallohi robbina tawakkalnaa (Yes Allah,verily I ask Thee for good and good a place to go out by calling the name of Allah we enter, and by calling the name of Allah we go out and to Allah our Lord, we trust,"I said as I moved my right leg slowly.

And I just got into the house a few steps.

Tarrr....

"Astaghfirullah, O Allah," I said in surprise as I held onto my chest that was beating fast.

The thing that was thrown quickly towards me fell and Thank God I was not hit and injured.

"Son Rani is okay?" asked Budi worriedly.

"Yes sir" I replied.

Who did this?I said in my heart while looking around.

Tak..dak...

The sound of footsteps approached towards me da Pak Budi.

"Hmmmm..happily the throw misses.Maybe it's my luck, but not for next time" Riska said cynically.

"Well, count these welcome greetings with a new atmosphere.To welcome the daughter-in-law of this family home.But, not the dream daughter-in-law but the son-in-law who is not considered.Hahahaha.

I just kept quiet and looked towards them while reading the istighfar in my heart.

"Son Rani just rest on top.Tasnya let you bring," said Mr. Budi.

"You said what Mr. Budi.Rani here is not a princess well, let him bring his own bag."

Bu Sri walked over to me while continuing her words.

"Oh.yes one more thing.From now on your room is not on top but in the back near the warehouse.Alias maid room, understand!," snapped Bu Sri.

And again I just kept quiet.

"You live here is also not free, so you here also have to do all the homework as well as the maid, you understand!," said Riska rudely.

"That's why Ris.Hahhaha.my daughter-in-law is also my maid,"ledek Bu Sri.

"You understand, I'm silent" said Ms Riska by encouraging me.

"Auwww." I shouted small because of a fall.

However, quickly Bik Siti ran to help me with Pak Budi.

While Ms Sri and Mbak Riska passed by letting me.

"Son Rani is okay?" asked Bik Siti and Pak Budi simultaneously.

I nodded slowly.

"Yes Allah is patient, son of Rani," said Bik Siti with a pity to see me.

"Yes Bik.Bik Siti help son Rani into his room and I bring his bag.Pity son Rani just recovered from illness," said Mr. Budi.

"Yes Mr. Budi.For a while son Rani let me sleep in the room with me just so I can take care of son Rani,"sahut Bik Siti.

"No need Bik.Rani is okay, later even Bu Sri scolded Bik Siti for letting Rani room with Bik Siti," I said while holding my painful hand.

"It's okay son.Rani's room has not been cleaned, son Rani just recovered from illness.Nantj if it has been cleaned new son Rani moved yes,"Bik Siti's request.

"Alright Bik.Thank you Bik," I said softly.

"Together son," replied Bik Siti while rubbing my shoulders slowly.

The three of us stepped into Bik Siti's room.

 

Arriving in Bik Siti's room and finished performing Maghrib prayers.

I lay myself on a bed on the floor.

Nghhhhhhhhhh.....

I squirm.

Thank God you can rest for a while, my inner self.

I looked around the room and saw Bik Siti had not finished performing the prayer.

Tok..tok-s..tok...tok ...

The sound of Bik Siti's bedroom door was knocked hard.

I quickly rose from my fall so that Bik Siti remained solemn in performing her prayers.

"Yes for a minute" I said as I unlocked the door.

However, I did not have time to open the door completely quickly Bik Siti's room door on a hard slam.

"Astaghfirullah," I said, covering my ears.

"Why don't you reply to my messages and phone calls and pick up?HAH!, "snap Brother Reno.

"What is this?," asked Bik Siti surprised by still wearing mukena.

"Nothing Bik," I said to calm him down.

Then suddenly Brother Reno pulled my hand violently.

"Son Rani..," said Bik Siti slightly shouting anxiously at me.

"It's okay Bik.Bik Siti is there, "my perspective on Bik Siti.

Bik Siti just looked worried at me without being able to do anything.

While Reno continued to pull my hand until my body felt dragged.

"Make me toast and warm milk!," commanded Brother Reno as he threw my body on the kitchen floor with a bang.

"Astaghfirullah o Allah, ughhhhhh," I said as I groaned in pain holding my head against the floor.

Reno pulled up the chair and sat down with one of her right legs raised above her left.

He looked at me with anger and annoyance.

"HEY, STAND UP! I'M HUNGRY!, "he's so hard on me.

With my two hands resting slowly I got up and made what Brother Reno asked.

Meanwhile I saw a glimpse of Brother Reno playing his mobile phone.

A few minutes later, I had finished preparing the bread and milk on the table and my intention was to leave immediately.

"HEY, where are you going?stand there!, "but again.

I shut up and stopped my footsteps.

Brother Reno began to taste Bread with a flat expression while still playing his mobile phone.

Then he sipped warm milk.

"Wuekkkkk...akhhhh....akhhh....heat!,"heard.

His eyes looked back at me angry.

"You're making milk can't do anything.You're happy if my tongue blisters HAH!," he said again.

But I remained silent.

And he gripped my cheek violently and strongly.

"You're what's mute, just silent to talk.Or you're deaf not to hear what I'm saying," Reno said angrily.

Withstanding the pain I tried to remain silent.

"If people are talking you look him in the eye!," he said a little shouting by forcing my head and eyes to look at him.

However, I tried not to look at it and fought back a little until Reno looked very upset.

"Oh.so you want to fight well, fine then you want," he said angrily.

BYURPR......

"Astaghfirullah's...O Allah...auwwww,"my perspective.

Brother Reno poured hot milk on my head and face.

"FEEL IT! HAHAHA," she yelled happily.

"Astaghfirullah nak Rani," shouted Bik Siti approaching me.

"Bik Siti is silent do not help him.If Bik Siti dare to help him will Reno tell mama to fire Bik Siti,"hardik Kak Reno on Bik Siti.

Hearing Kak Reno's words slowly Bik Siti retreated with teary eyes.

While I rubbed the spilled milk on my face with my hands.

But it's not enough to get there.

Brother Reno pulled my hand back while dragging me.

Then he threw my body away from her.

"Tonight you slept outside and was it not good that indirectly the dull spills of milk were washed away by the rainwater.Make sure you do not get cold huh, Ahahahaha.....,"said Brother Reno very happy.

Door closes.

I was still slumped on the ground and stone floor in the yard.

Byurr.....

The rain falling down hard on my body.

The Duarrr......Duarrr....The Duarrr......

The lightning returned with its loud voice.

My heart feels sorely sliced.

My tears spilled but, swept away by the torrential rain.

O Allah, strengthen me through all this.

I hold my body to stand up.

Uhhhhh....

I shiver in the cold.

"Son Rani." shouted Bik Siti approaching me while crying and paddling me.

"Bik, just come in.Bibi could get in trouble for helping Rani, "I said while shivering.

"Now Nak Rani did not have to think about it.Let's now we enter through the back door," said Bik Siti while embracing my body.

"But Bik," I argue.

"Have come in son.Submit Bik Siti,"he said.

I can't argue Bik Siti's words either.

Slowly and slowly Bik Siti led me through the back door with the help of Mr. Budi who was waiting for us.
