I Give My Husband to the Perakor

Be proposed?

A year later..

Today is Reno's birthday, the man I thought was no good. The man I had been doubting the sincerity of his heart. It turned out that he was indeed a good man and cared for me, especially for Naisya. He sacrificed a lot for me and my son. As a result of his concern it made my cold attitude disappear, moreover Naisya was very happy to play with the man.

‘’Udah a year more without the presence of Mas Deno by my side and also Naisya. Hope you're calm in nature there, Mas. And forgiven all your sins,’’ lirihku while pecking myself in the mirror.

I have been widowed for over a year. While my best friend Fani was married first to Fahmi, the man her mother chose. Which turns out he's a good guy.

As time went on, the pain of the past slowly began to heal, healed by a good man named Reno. The angel that God has sent for me.

‘’Ma, let's go now. Can we want a place Om Reno.’’ Naisya rushed up to me making me wake up from the daydream.

I turned my head and smiled broadly at my six-year-old son. So beautiful you are, son.

‘’MaasyaaAllah, Mama's son is very beautiful,’’ my praise who rushed to embrace him.

‘’Ma? Said he was going to the house of Om Reno?’’ repeat my little one who makes me laugh softly.

‘’Iya, Darling. We wait for Auntie. We're together with Auntie too.’’ I stroked his head wrapped in a veil.

Very pretty my daughter wears a veil, long sleeved shirt and a long skirt. Birthday gift from Reno. Plus a thin decoration from Aunt Sumi.

‘’Wah, really beautiful Sister yes.’’ The Aunt already looked neat with her clothes, moved to us. His smile suddenly rose.

‘’Iya dong, Bi. Kan was Aunty who dandy Adik.’’ My little one smiled, making her even more beautiful.

‘’Ya already, if so we immediately leave aja.’’

‘’Horee! Want to meet Om Reno,’’ he shouted cheerfully, making me smile broadly at my son who jumped in joy.

Yes, he is getting closer to Reno, even since there is news from his Grandmother that the Papa is expected to die because it has been dumped into the abyss by a mysterious man. At that time I was shocked to hear it, but on one side of my small heart said that it was all a reply from God due to his actions.

Me and Naisya stepped outside, while Aunt Sumi locked the back and front doors. With the spirit of my son riding in the car, he was already very smart. Without my help he could open the car door. I smiled happily looking at my son. He grew up to be a good boy, smart and polite. It was all inseparable from the upbringing of the Aunt and also me, Mama.

‘’Lah, Sister sitting in the back?’’ I was surprised to see the little guy.

‘’Iya, Mom. If in front of Little Sister sat down, what about Auntie? There is no auntie. Kan pity,’’ said with a pitying face. I'm laughing a little.

‘’Duh, dear Mama. Pinter really is Adik.’’ I immediately entered the car and rushed to start the engine. I run the four-wheeler.

‘’Eh, Ma? How was Aunt left?’’ It makes me laugh again.

‘’Ngak dong, Babe. His aunt wants to lock the fence from the outside. So we wait for Aunt in front,’’ obviously me later. I don't know why my heart is so happy today.

‘’Bu? Let's go. Mas Reno is waiting.’’

I rushed to the car too.

****

Not long ago we arrived in front of Reno's house. I pulled the car out and went straight down. The aunt took Naisya by the hand, while I was left alone. I'm like a single woman, I chirped in my heart with a big smile. My heart is now so happy, it cannot be expressed in words. I rushed into Reno's house, while Bibi and Naisya had already entered Reno's house.

‘’Assalamua’laikum.’’ All eyes are on me. Especially Reno who looked at me did not blink.

‘’Wa’alaikumsalam.’’

‘’Om,’’ my broom that rushed to greet the hands of his parents Reno, he smiled kindly. Of course Reno has told all about me to his father, even I have met him.

‘’Nelda? You finally came too. Om kirain will not come,’’ babble the middle-aged man.

‘’Come, Om.’’ I'm laughing a little.

Uh, it turns out that Naisya and the Aunt had already clasped the gift in their hands. I immediately approached Reno who had not stopped looking at me.

‘’Still, Nel.’’ He's nodding.

‘’Happy birth day, Om Reno.’’ This time Naisya said.

‘’Makasih, Dik. Unfortunately Om Reno nih.’’ His hand stroked Naisya's head.

‘’This is the card from me, Om.’’ My son rushed to give me a gift that made the invited guests smile.

‘’Wah, is this the sister who wrapped her card? Real nice. Thanks yes.’’ The man immediately took a gift from Naisya's hand and looked at the gift wrapped in a panda.

‘’Bibi preparing, Om. And the money to buy his card asked to Mama,’’ he said innocently, managed to make the guests laugh.

So did Reno and her parents. I gave the code so that Auntie gave the gift she was holding earlier. My aunt gave it to me.

‘’And this is from me yes, Ren. Do not look at the price. But look who gave it.’’ His smile expanded and rushed to pick up the gift I offered.

‘’Makasi yes,’’ said the man in a soft voice. I don't know why my heart is touched.

***

No candle blow event. There was only cutting the cake that was not using candles, eating together, and do’a together led by a Ustadz.

Half an hour later.

‘’Reno, it is time for Papa to obey all your wishes. So that you are happy. Papa will be happy.’’ The man spoke while looking at his son.

I don't know what the Prosecutor meant behind his words. Instantly a smile appeared on the lips of the man in the gray suit.

‘’Papa really right?’’ Nodding by a middle-aged man. Reno the handsome man I just acknowledged his good looks, reached into his pockets and pulled out something.

‘’Nelda, will you marry me? I promise I will take care of you and also Naisya,’’ he said as he bent his knees and showed me the ring.

Making my chest pound hard, the invited guests watched and smiled looking at us. Likewise with her Papa Reno who also smiled, the Aunt also smiled while closing her mouth and Naisya my son looked so happy. Thankfully, it turned out that her father Reno had allowed her son to propose to me. In the past, he disagreed. Yeah, that's normal because I'm a one-child widow, and Reno? A man who is single.

I immediately remembered the dream that came three times in a row.

‘’Nelda, you must accept her love of the man. He's a good guy, even better than me. Surely he will not hurt you, like I gave a wound in your heart,’’ said the man whose voice was no stranger to me. I was sitting in the garden alone. Then I looked.

‘’M—Mas Deno? What are you doing here? Go!’’ I shouted with soaring anger, I hurried to get up and stared intently at the man who had inflicted the wound on my heart. But he was smiling. His expression looked different from yesterday.

‘’I'll go, Nel. But, I was just going to tell you. Accept that man's love and live with him. He's all I trust to be able to look after you and our son.’’

‘’Si—who do you mean, Mas?’’

‘’Reno. Good man, whose love is sincere to you. He will love our son too. I'm sure your life will be happier with him,’’ he explained with a big smile. Instantly Mas Deno disappeared from my sight.

‘’Mas Deno! Mas! Where are you going? What do you mean by this, Mas?’’ I shouted out in search of the man's whereabouts. But, I woke up instantly. I dreamed of meeting my son's father.

‘’A—what is it that Mas Deno said in my dream? Indeed, for more than a year I knew Reno, he was different than Mas Deno. His patience, care, and genuine care were always given to me. Not just me, but Naisya. My only biological child, my monologue’’ in heart.

‘’Ma? Thank dong. Naisya wants her new Papa is Om Reno,’’ said Naisya who made me realize from my daydream.

Making me blush in shame, my cheeks feel hot when stared at like this by a man who managed to eliminate the trauma and heal my heart that was injured so far.

I sighed softly and retread the words basmallah and do’a in my heart. Yes, my son would be happy if his new Papa was Reno, the man he had been so close to. My son's happiness is my happiness too.

‘’A—aku to.’’

Seriate.
