I Can Without You

26. Not Obstacles

"What do you think?" asked Awan to Shofi who looked dreamy.

"Hmm, no, Mas" Shofi replied with a murmur, after a slight jolt from shock.

The two are currently sitting on a park bench near the fountain. The same place they met a few times yesterday. Of course also with the same time, the afternoon after Shofi came home from work.

"Definitely think of Keinan's grandparents again, huh?" guess the cloud is right on target.

Shofi smiled slightly. He felt that the Clouds were now becoming more and more able to understand his mind.

"So you really think about both of them?" ask the clouds again.

Shofi only replied by nodding his head a few times.

Yes, according to Awan's previous guess, Shofi's two former in-laws will definitely not be easy to receive news about Shofi's wedding plans with Awan. And it proved to be true.

When yesterday afternoon Awan came to Shofi's house and introduced himself as Shofi's future husband, the two former in-laws of Shofi seemed very surprised.

After talking for a while, Awan saw that Arya, Keinan's grandfather, was trying to be airy and accepted Shofi's decision to re-build a new household with Awan.

Not so with Winna, his wife. The grandmother of Keinan voiced her doubts openly. He was worried that after Shofi married to Awan he would have trouble seeing Keinan again, his grandson.

Awan and Shofi, of course, have explained and convinced Winna that nothing will change even after Shofi married again later. Arya and Winna remain Keinan's grandparents. And the two of them can still meet Keinan, whenever they both want.

But still, Winna still can't seem to accept Shofi's wedding plan with the Clouds. And that is what is currently a burden on Shofi's mind.

"Don't get too thought out" said Cloud.

"I know, Mas. But how could I be thinking about gini, huh? I think something stuck in my heart, Mas," Shofi replied softly.

"Shofi, one thing you should know, Om Arya and Aunt Winna have no right to forbid you from remarrying. They were both Keinan's grandparents. But those two are no longer your in-laws. Now your status is just to establish the friendship and family rope only. So, the blessing of the two of them is not an obstacle for us to continue our marriage plans or not" said Awan at length, trying to give understanding to Shofi.

Shofi fell silent, thinking of all the words from the Cloud. Ah, true also all that has been said by her future husband. Shofi's heart instantly felt plong. It was like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert.

Shofi's smile finally blossomed as well. Honestly speaking, Shofi's feeling now became even more relieved after hearing all the words from the Clouds earlier.

"The Cloud is correct. Thank you very much, Mom, I know. I'm sorry that I was swept away in this unnecessary worry" Shofi said regretfully.

"No need to say thanks. Mas instead seneng if you can lighten your burden a little. Yeah, let's just say Mas's training to be a good husband. Let it be later after marrying you, Mas became an expert and used to always be a place to complain about you," replied the Clouds with a little teasing Shofi, Shofi, trying to make his future wife smile again.

And succeed. Shofi's face instantly met red with a slight misbehavior as well.

"The Cloud Mass iiihhh," said Shofi, ashamed of being seduced by the Clouds like that.

The clouds laughed lightly.

"Hahaha, get used to it. Anyway, just like later, you must be ready to always smile and even laugh. And of course also have to be ready with all the chatter and sweet words Mas to you. So get used to it from now on, okay?"

The clouds actually laughed wider and saw Shofi who blushed and misbehaved like that.

"Mom, haven't we always told Shofi to remarry and rebuild the household? Then why is it that now that Shofi really intends to get married and build a new household, mom objected instead?" ask Arya to Winna.

"It feels like my heart is not willing to do that, sir. I'm afraid that after Shofi gets married we'll find it difficult to meet Keinan again" Winna complained as she leaned on the headboard of the two beds.

"Kan Shofi and her future husband have also promised, Mom, that it won't happen."

"But I still don't want to, sir."

"Don't be selfish, Mom. If Bayu had also remarried to Alya, even shortly after his divorce from Shofi. Then why can't Shofi get remarried?"

"But Bayu and Alya even until now still do not have a baby either, sir. And now Keinan wants to have a new father. Poor Bayu dong, sir. His biological son wants to have a new father while he himself still can not get another child until now," complained Winna.

"Mom think that, anyway? That's my name's selfish mother, ma'am. May you marry again while Shofi can't, that's what mom means?" asked Arya was not out of thought with the way his wife thought.

"Tau ah, sir. Mom wants to sleep. Mother was dizzy thinking about all this," ketus Winna who then laid her body and turned her back to her husband.

Arya can only shake her head to see the attitude and way of thinking of the wife.
