Husband's Regrets: My Wife's Tears

Episode 54: Rise to Fight

Nathan's out of his room. He looked radiant, and his spirit returned. She saw Mom and Mba Retno were busy in the kitchen. Looks like they're making breakfast. While Dad was enjoying a cup of coffee and fried bananas.

"Good morning, Dad!" greet Nathan.

"Eh, Son. Come here!" Father ordered Nathan to sit next to him.

"Yes, Dad,"

"Drink this warm tea. Your mother made it," he said.

"Yes, Dad" he answered. Nathan feels lucky to have a family like them. Always there for him in difficult times.

"What's your next plan, son?" ask Bara.

"Nathan will rise again, Dad. Nathan will keep fighting to open the cafe. Like Nathan's original plan with Michie.

"good. I love your spirit" said his father.

"Is everything ready?"

"Yet, Dad. Nathan plans to sell Nathan's house for additional capital. Nathan needs a lot of capital to open a cafe," he said.

"If indeed you need capital, just sell our land on Sudirman Street. That's your part, son!" dad says.

"What's on Sudirman Street?"

"Yes, that is your ration from Father and Mother,"

"Mba Retno's?" ask Nathan. She should also know the rations for her brother. However, her brother, who is a widow, must take precedence first.

"Your brother has earned his right. You remind me of the land on Sutomo Street. That is your brother's right. And it's been sold for his son Tiara's college tuition. So, the land is your right" Father explained.

"But ... !"

"You don't worry. Father has divided the inheritance in accordance with religious law. And your mother knew that too. If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother!" sela Father.

"Yes, Nath," said Retno, suddenly coming with a cup of tea, "That is indeed your ration. The Mba ration has been used for Tiara purposes," he said.

"Alhamdulillah then. So, Nathan can use it for additional capital," he said.

"Well, you want to sell the house?"

"Yes, Mba. The house has Michie's rights, after all. And Nathan's gonna give it to Michie as a gono-gini treasure, too,"

"Yes, you're right" Retno said, "The baby can only pray for you two,"

"Thank you very much, Mba,"

"Yes, by the way, is everything ready?"

"It's 75 percent, Mba. God willing next month is ready," he said, "Nathan is just looking for someone who takes care of the kitchen. Of course the cuisine must be delicious dong!"

"Why don't you just cook, Nath?" mother suddenly came. It turned out that Mom was listening to our conversation.

"True, Mba Retno is delicious cuisine. How's Mba?"

"Duh, Mba lacks confidence," he thought.

"Come, Mba. We make this like a family business. Just take it easy, all the hard work Mba, Nathan pay Kok!"

"Where are you?" Retno seems to think, "Mba is afraid Mba cuisine is not tasty,"

"Retno, your cooking is delicious. Didn't you have the desire to open a food stall?" say Mother.

"Tuh, right. Talent must be developed, Mba. Nathan help me!"

"The concept, Mba who takes care of all parts of the kitchen. Nathan will also hire Chef as well to help Mba. The goal is that Mba is not too busy," explained Nathan.

"Alright, Mba, agree," said Retno with enthusiasm.

"Alhamdulillah," pleased Nathan.

After breakfast together. Nathan said goodbye to Mom and Dad to see the cafe. He also had to meet with someone to discuss the matter of his cafe.

At high speed Nathan drove his car. He had an appointment with Byan at his restaurant. And he would not if his appointment failed.

"Please, Sir! I've been waiting in Mr. Byan's room!" said waiter.

"Thank you,"

Byan was waiting in his room. He greeted Nathan warmly. Like old friends who have never met, they are so familiar.

"Please, sit!"

"Thank you,"

"Where? What's the news?" asked Byan curiously.

"This, Bang. I want to ask for help from my brother. May you, Is your brother ready?" ask Nathan.

"What's that?"

"That's the cafe I'm going to open,"

"Oh, Cafe,"

"Do you have a Chef who can work at my cafe?"

"Ehm, how much do you need?"

"One of them, Bang. I need one. Because there's another one working in the kitchen,"

"That's look. You leave it to me. I have a lot of Chef acquaintances,"

"Thank you very much, Bang. I always trouble you, brother,"

"Ah, just relax. You're Elle's husband. And Elle was my friend in the village," he said, "Eh, by the way alone. Not Elle?" ask Byan who just realized that Nathan came alone.

"Yes, Bang. Michelle is in Bogor. At her parents' house" she answered.

"Oh, on vacation?"

"Not really," Nathan replied with a deep smile. He was confused as to how to start telling stories.

"We're divorced, Bang,"

"Can't you?" shocked Byan.

"Huft," Nathan sighed heavily.

"This is all my fault. I can't keep our marriage,"

"What's wrong? Just tell me! Maybe I can help?" bargain Byan, "Take me as your best friend, too," said Byan.

"Thank you, Bang. Brother already sympathized with me," he replied, "Actually this is a story not worth telling,"

"Tell me. I'm ready to listen!"

Nathan told Byan everything. Byan, who is more mature than Nathan, can handle Nathan's problems wisely.

"I knew Elle with her family a long time ago. That is the attitude of Abah Aang. He was too obedient with his brother, Pakde Kartono. And the problem of the Goddess, since childhood, the Goddess never felt like Elle. The Goddess had always been envious of what Elle had. Elle's life is all-sufficient, whatever Elle wants is always there, Elle's cleverness, Elle's career. Everything Elle has, the Goddess doesn't have it. The Goddess openly showed her dislike to everyone. But it is because Elle has a gentle and kind nature, even though she never questioned the attitude of the Goddess to him. Everyone may think that it is just the delinquency of children. But not for the Goddess, her hatred for Elle was growing. Maybe after knowing that her lover is you, marry Elle. I'm sure the Goddess's hatred for Elle is getting bigger!"

"Therefore, Bang. I let Michie go," sadly, "I don't want her to get pressured by all her family members. Especially her parents. Let me let go to see her happy,"

"You are patient. Hopefully your problem will be solved quickly. And the truth quickly revealed. Rest assured, that the carcass cannot be forever covered!" byan.

"Thank you, Bang,"

"Let me call! If you need my help to promote your cafe, don't hesitate! I'm ready to help!"

"Thank you very much, Bang!"

Nathan is grateful, in his slump there are still friends who support and encourage.
