I Love You Dr. Chicanery

Persuading Mama

"Well, what if Ayuni and the baby are staying in our house?" ask me about Ummik.

Currently Ayuni and Fuad and the baby are still sitting in the living room while I bring Ummik to the room to give understanding to Ummik.

"Yes, Ummik is okay. Just Ummik did not end up thinking the same Mr. Waridi. Why is he so bad as his own daughter. Although not his biological child, still Ayuni he grew up for many years and side by side with him. Though Ummik thought Mr. Waridi was a leader who loved the same people, but ahh it feels like Ummik uleg his face" said Ummik gregetan

I'm sighing. "He's a psychopath, Mik."

"You have to be careful, Ray. Ummik doesn't want you to be kidnapped again. Do we need to hire a bodyguard to take care of you."

"Oh my goodness, Mik. That's not necessary. It will be heart. Later it also feels like Raya wants to install CCTV here, Mik. Same nyari people who can take care of Ummik and Ayuni if Raya is not at home."

"Blogs .... You like strong-witted asses, you need to be guarded."

"Raya is really going to be careful, Ummik. Ummik's prayer will be the guardian angel for the Kingdom."

Ummik rubbed my arm. "Ummik is proud of you. However, we must fight against the cruel and evil. Waridi's actions must be stopped immediately so that no other victims fall."

"But Ummik help Raya convince Mahfudz yes, Mik! Ummik's daughter-in-law is always worried that Raya is dealing with Waridi again." I complained.

"That's because he loves you, son. She's worried about you and the baby."

I'm nodding. Don't tell me I know very well that Mahfudz loves me and our future son.

"Anyway will be careful."

"Ummik believes in you."

Ah, my Ummik is indeed the best in the world, the most understanding and most everything.

"Yes already. Ayuni can sleep in the guest room later, Mik! Later Raya will be ready for her room."

"He can sleep in Ummik's room later so that there will be a help if his son wakes up later tonight" replied Ummik.

"Ummik's sure? Ummik will rest disturbed youh." I said doubtfully.

"No. Ummik was happy. The baby is very funny dah Ray, so Ummik take care of it? Wait for you brojol mah is still a long time. I can't wait for baby."

"Oh that .... Don't-don't later Grandma no longer love you and Mother, son?" I asked as if it was a baby in my stomach.

"No, donk! You are still Grandma's favorite granddaughter!" said Ummik while looking down kissing my stomach which has started to bulge.

I just chuckled at Ummik's treatment.

Beres gave understanding to Ummik, I immediately went to Ayuni and Fuad in the guest room.

"Ayuni, are you okay if you sleep with Ummik? There are still two empty rooms here anyway, but Ummik said he wanted to participate to take care of your son, you mind? Understand that Ummik is so the person, Ummik can not wait anymore momong grandson, see your son so so so be it!" I said while shrugging my shoulders.

"Whatever dr. Raya aja's. My labor was aided by me I am very grateful, and now dr. It even allowed me to stay here. Somehow I thank you," he said.

"You don't have to worry about that. Btw, in this house no one calls me dr. Raya. You can call me brother if you're pleased. You think your real brother is okay too. I don't have a sister" I said.

"This, what is this?" Fuad pointed at himself.

"You're not my sister. You're just a stress brother-in-law who likes to make people dizzy." I'm annoyed.

"Ihhh, the cruel ...."

"Yes, I'm cruel. Now you go home! Ayuni wants a break," I said firmly.

"I'm not going home leaving my future wife and child here" Fuad said stubbornly.

"Effort to get sorry from Mama first, besides that there you are here will make Mahfudz more irritated later. It will be harder to give him understanding later" I said.

"Couldn't I come here often?"

"Maybe, but only to visit the doank."

"Jeez, please, brother-in-law! You must think that Ayuni and I have done 'like that'. I'm not that bad!"

"That's what you admitted to Mama."

"I lied to Mama, let Mama not refuse Ayuni," he said.

"Then the outcome? Rejected too, right? Be patient, go home. You persuaded Mama to slow down. Be a good boy. Until you have not received the blessing of Mama, I will take care of Ayuni. Deal?"

Fuad looked at me in annoyance and then got up and grabbed the car keys on the table.

"Unfortunately! Fuad go home first, Mik!"

\*\*\*\*\*

"You're sure he already knows that Ayuni is in my house?" I asked Akbar when we called one afternoon.

"Yes" Akbar replied. "He knows from the other men he told to spy on you and Mahfudz."

"That's weird. He gave absolutely no action or movement whatsoever. Though I thought, at least he would report me to the police for kidnapping and holding Ayuni in my house" I said confusedly.

"Indeed, if he did that, what do you have in mind to repay him? Isn't it nice that he didn't plan anything?"

I shook my head even though I knew my trousers wouldn't be seen by Akbar.

"That's not good. At least he should attack me first and then I can attack him back," I said. "Yes, if there is no development, send me what I asked for yesterday" I said.

The phone call between me and Akbar can't be too long. Because he was afraid of arousing suspicion in Waridi. Even though he wanted to stop working there, I still wanted to make him my eyes on Waridi's side.

It's been two weeks Ayuni and her son are in my house. Although Mahfudz initially objected but because Ummik wanted Ayuni to stay with us, Mahfudz could not do anything because we were arguably only staying nebeng in the Ummik house.

Ummik? Do not ask him very happy with the presence of Ayuni and Grace, once Ummik gave the baby's name which was approved by Ayuni and Fuad. Their presence makes Ummik no longer lonely at home. Ummik seemed to get a new daughter that I felt, his affection for Ayuni was not much different to me. She really considers Ayuni like her real daughter. Even Ummik said he would hold an aqiqah event for Grace next week.

"Ray, accompany Ummik to your in-laws' place" said Ummik.

"Remain over there, Mik?" ask me with a worried tone.

I was worried about Ummik who seemed to want to invite Mama to his show Grace.

"We must tell your in-laws that Mercy will be cherished."

"Ummik, it won't work. Mama hates Ayuni. There will be more Mama with us" I said fretfully.

"You just trust Ummik. Ummik will say," replied Ummik.

And finally Ummik still ngeyel to go to Mama's house.

"Sorry Mrs Farida, I can't attend the event. It was not my grandchild's aqiqah, I didn't even know who the child's parents would be" Mama replied coldly after Ummik expressed the intention of our arrival there.

Ummik smiled knot got an answer from Mama.

"I understand Miss Salmah's disappointment. But if Ms. Salmah says she doesn't want to come because she doesn't know the boy's parents, may I as her grandmother invite Ms. Salmah?"

Mama snorted in disbelief Ummik would say that.

"Over these two weeks Ayuni stayed with me, I could see Ayuni was a good boy. She was diligent in her prayers, she was smart in taking care of household matters, taking care of her child. Even Raya is not as latent as it takes care of the work of the house," said Ummik.

"Ummik ..." protested me.

"What's Miss Farida talking about? It's not important to me to know it at all" said Mama did not like.

"Ayuni and Fuad love each other. They want to tie her in a tangle of wedding ropes that thing ...."

" I can't accept him as my daughter-in-law Bu Farida. Please understand, I don't want to discuss this. And you are also Raya, you brought your Ummik here to persuade Mama. That's what does that mean? For Mama's daughter-in-law right now it's just you, please support Mama, instead of even supporting Fuad to marry the girl, what are you?" Mama looks annoyed at me.

I hugged my father-in-law with love.

"Raya understands Mama's feelings. But Ma, Fuad and Ayuni are all grown up. If they want to get married, aren't they the ones who will end up living the married life? Not Raya, not Mama, not us?" I said while hugging Mama.

"But Mama was disgusted by the girl, Ray! She is not a holy girl. He has been touched many times by others. How could Fuad get such a woman? Mama really does not like the child that Mama gave birth to and raised wholeheartedly in the end only got such a woman as his wife. My mom is not happy, Ray! Huuu ...hu....."

My mother finally cried in my arms. Instead, I took off her embrace.

"Astaghfirullah, Mama. Who do we feel most holy to others? Sorry wasn't about intruding on Mama. But in God's eyes we're all the same, Ma. What distinguishes us from one person to another is only his faith and his way of life. If you could choose Ayuni would also not want to have a way of life like this. Imagine, Ma. He's just an orphanage. He lived in this world, and one day someone adopted him from that orphanage. How happy, he will have new parents, who love him. He will be no different from his friends at school. But when she got home all that hope was gone, she was abused, raped, many times for several years, until she got pregnant and gave birth like this. Can't complain to anyone. She almost died being forced to drink insect venom because she was pregnant. Can't Mama empathize and pity her a little? Until he finally meets Fuad and they love each other. Can't he expect a little happiness in his life?"

This time my tears that did not feel falling said all that.

"It can happen to anyone. It is only because of the goodness and good fortune that God has given us that we do not experience what he has experienced. If Raya were born to be him, Mama would also behave like this to Raya? Is this how humans treat people?"

My tears can't be contained anymore. I cried bitterly imagining that I was in the position of Ayuni. I don't know if it's the effect of me being pregnant and making me more sensitive. But I felt hurt when Mama said she was disgusted by Ayuni.

"Relance ...."

Ummik touched my back. Ummik knew I was starting to not be able to control my own emotions.

"Who in the world has no shortage of mothers? Mama's daughter-in-law also has shortcomings, just because I am a doctor then Mama can accept my shortcomings as a spinster for Mama Mahfudz's child right? And Mama also forgot Mama Mahfudz's son also had a speech disorder that is not necessarily acceptable to anyone other than me and Ummik. Only because we can accept each other's shortcomings can we unite like this. Either Fuad Mama's children are as good as anything until Ayuni does not deserve to accompany him. Come on, Mik, let's go home!" take me with tears still.

I don't think I want to stay here long. It will only make me and Mama more tense later.

I stood up when I said,

"That's not a good girl. If she's a nice girl, she won't want to have an extramarital affair with Fuad ...."

I turned my face to Mama.

"Fuad and Ayuni never did that, Mama. Fuad said so because he knew Mama would look down on Ayuni, so he had to make up a story for Mama to see her as low as Ayuni. Does that mean Mama knows? He can accept Ayuni's shortcomings."

Without waiting for Mama's answer again, I immediately went out and waited for Ummik in the car. My tears are still breaking. Oh, is that as sensitive as you?

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Today is special day. There were two simple events organized today at home. The first is the simple ijab qobul wedding of Ayuni and Fuad. And the two events of Rahmat Yudhistira, his son Ayuni. All the needs of this event are funded by Ummik.

Mama eventually gives Ayuni and Fuad their consent to get married. Either because of the effect of what I told him to cry bitterly or he considered something else, but surely Mama is not against the decision of Fuad married Ayuni even though he actually has not seen legowo with his decision. It can be seen from his reluctance to attend this wedding. My mother refused to attend today.

The ijab qobul event went smoothly with the help of pak pengulu and the judge. And the procession goes all the way to the show of Grace. A simple event with the invitation of neighbors and only close friends was suddenly felt gripping when suddenly someone came and went straight into the house.

"Assynolt,"

The male figure smiled very kindly and looked pleasant.

"Waalaikumsalam," answered the elders and other guests who happened to be inside the house.

I glanced at Ayuni. I saw him pale looking at the man. Trembling until she was seen pulling the end of Fuad's shirt, which is now officially her husband.

Yep. It's Waridi. What's he doing here? What's he planning?
