I'm Just an Ordinary Widow
The orange?
This morning the Orange woke up without seeing her husband next to her. Raihan really cranky apparently. He sleeps on the couch. Orange felt sorry to see her husband. He got up from the bed and approached Raihan.
The orange half squatted and whispered in Raihan's ear "Mas.get up"
Raihan just squirmed a little without opening his eyes. Cup. cup.. Orange kissed her husband's lips, immediately Raihan opened his eyes.
"What time?" ask Raihan
"Half six, pray first yuk?" Raihan nodded
They do their morning activities, take a shower and then worship.
"Rin here" Raihan patted the bed hinting for Orange to sit by his side. Orange came closer to her husband.
"Do you want to be clear or do you ask questions?" Raihan gave a choice, Orange immediately understood his meaning. This must be about Daniel ! Holding back his laughter, "Jaudah, that's it"
"Daniel who?"
"Daniel yes Daniel mas" he replied casually
"Jeez rin" Raihan rubbed his face rough
"Daniel's my most handsome cousin hehehe, his aunt Lian's son"
"Where is Aunt Lian?"
"Mom's sister, she just moved here last week.. Ehmm means to stay here after her daughter starts going to college. Daniel's brother's name is Tammy"
"Which one is the real one?"
"Yes Jogja, just aunt Lian join uncle Max live in London because their business is there"
"So the point is Daniel's your brother?" Orange nodded, Raihan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alhamdulillah, so it's a waste of time and energy to be jealous" Raihan clasped his wife's hand
"Yaiyalah, why use all the rich young children dead" to the orange
"You are too!" Raihan doesn't want to lose
"Different mas, I'm angry lash it there's an alesannya. Because Feli is your boyfriend !"
"Former, former. Boyfriend from where !"
"Udahlah mas I'm really lazy to discuss something related to Felicia your boyfriend. Honestly, I thought you were just so I could sleep in bed aka partner sexsss" Orange turned her eyes to stare at the empty wall
"What are you saying???" Raihan snapped a little
"I don't know, I love you or not. Even I doubt that I can love me or not someday. I realized because our marriage is not based on previous love" said Jingga
"So you mean? I don't love and love you? lt's it? huh uh?" ask Raihan
"Do you need the words love and affection to express Airin? Can you do it yourself?" he added again
"Ngrasain what the hell is mas? After the wedding, is there something special going on between us? If you are aware of the same attitude of mas at home. Sometimes I don't go home anywhere. That's proof that you don't care about me yet. I'm your wife, I deserve to know wherever you go. Let me doain with sincerity at every step of your way outside the house" Puddles of water almost dripped from the beautiful eyes of Orange
Is it true what Airin said? have I not loved him? did I chase her down here just because I was afraid of losing my bedmate? my wrestling partner? Inner Raihan
Raihan felt lazy with this discussion, his mood was suddenly chaotic. He woke up and then came out of the room.
Can't I love Airin? I didn't treat her as a wife well all this time. I don't deserve him !
Raihan stepped towards the back garden while continuing to monologue in his heart.
Daniel, Dimas, and Muhammad headed to the dinner table. They only had breakfast bread with jam on the table as well as Uti.
"Yuk Swimming? look at the beauty" said Dimas in the middle of his morning breakfast
"Swimming at home?" ask Daniel
"Who" said Dimas
"There is no way Max knows" said Muhammad
"It's okay" said Dimas
"Take Orange and Raihan as well. Let Raihan know his brothers" Uti said
"Ready" Daniel rushed straight to the orange room. Without knocking Daniel just went in because the door to his room was half open.
Surprised by Daniel's arrival, the orange wiped away his tears.
"Hey hussshh.. Why ?" Daniel held onto both of Orange's shoulders
"No papa Niel, suddenly inget aja deceased if in Jogja" said Orange lying
"Main to Tammy yuk?" take Daniel
"Now?"
"Yes, let's not get bad. Ask for a swim"
"Oh yes already. I'm getting ready first"
"Take your husband yes" asked Daniel , Orange just nodded. Of course the orange wouldn't invite him to remember the small debate just now
The four of them were ready to get into the car, without Raihan.
"Where's your husband?" ask Dimas
"Sleep again, it's like a soybean" because it was forced to finally lie again
"Jaudah let's pull the mang" Dimas patted Daniel on the shoulder
"Damn it, you think I'm a driver?"
"Hehe cananda mas"
On the way Orange kept thinking about her husband who suddenly changed due to the debate this morning. Orange wants to brush off the taste but the heart can not lie. The orange feels itself already tied to this loveless marriage. Because from the beginning it was his fault. It was her fault that she decided to love Raihan first.
After twenty minutes, they arrived at Aunt Lian's residence. Black fenced house with a courtyard so wide. The security guard opened the door after seeing Daniel's car.
Daniel parked his car carelessly and then gave the car keys to the family driver Ujo.
The four of them entered the house and were greeted warmly by aunt Lian and Tammy.
"Oh my God, Orange" Aunt Lian hugged Orange tightly
"When there is an orange, it must be the child himself eliminated" Daniel quipped while sulking
Plakkkkp. Aunt lina hit Daniel's burly arm
"Awwww, kidding mom" said Daniel grimacing
"Judah come on in, Daddy's in the pool" Tammy said as she stepped into her room followed by Jingga
"Wouldn't you go swimming, too?" ask Tammy, Orange nodded
"This cake or this?" Tammy shows two models of swimsuits.
"Yes this is 'crazy when my sister wears a bikini" Orange grabbed her swimsuit and took off her clothes.
"House nothing changed tam, brother not pangling at all. Uncle max when's Tam coming home?" ask Orange while folding his own clothes and then put it on the edge of the bed. Tammy gave a purple bathrobe to wear an orange.
"Daddy when is it? Two days before mommy. Where's sister's husband?"
Orange and Tammy stepped out of the house through a side door made of glass.
"Hey Orange !" greet Uncle Max on the Orange. Orange immediately patted the eel. Everyone laughed at Uncle Max's call to orange.
"Astaghfirullah uncle very difficult to call the name Orange?" uncle clenched his teeth like a horse and then approached and hugged his beautiful niece.
"It turns out lo that category of fruits yes Ngga ! Hahahahaha" Dimas laughed
"Review lo ya!" Orange stared at cynically
"Come on Orange!" exclaim Uncle Max while jumping into the pool
"It's up to you, orange, orange, rambutan, kedondong, free !" ketus Orange then warms up before entering the pool
Daniel chuckles amusedly at the behavior of Orange and Daddy.
"Are you good at swimming? who taught you?" tanya Dimas glanced at Orange
"Noh his new man wants to be smitten" Orange pointed to Daniel with his face
"Kaka-in-law candidate turned out to be the one who taught" said Dimas meaningfully while stealing a look at Tammy.
Tammy squinted her eyes dislike
"What the hell!" ketus Tammy
"Just kidding tam, but the saying is a prayer said parents tam hehehehehe" said Dimas
"Dad ! sis Dimas tuh" Tammy put on her upset face
"It's okay baby. The match is in God's hands" Max answered casually making Tammy turn her face then swim again
"Don't flirt Tammy, if you take a long time Dim" said Daniel who had just entered the pool
"It's getting bigger and better mas, for me?" ask Dimas to Daniel
"It's a pity that there are so many Dimas rivals. On campus, Tammy was a prima donna. I'm a different campus like to be invaded by children if abis photos with Tammy" said Muhammad
"That's yeah? it means having to be extra dong fight for my love" Dimas' smile faded instantly knowing he had many rivals
"That's also if Tammy wants to be the same Dimas Hahahaha" Muhammad said with a laugh
"Ahahahahaha sian deh lo" timpal
Daniel was just gawking at their behavior.
******
Uti headed to the garden behind the house to clean up but was stopped because he saw his granddaughter-in-law asleep in the gazebo.
"Son?" Uti wiggled Raihan's arm slowly. Raihan blinked his eyes a few times then he realized that he had fallen asleep in the gazebo by accident. Raihan immediately sat down because he felt bad for Uti.
"Sorry uti, the sleep was" he said shyly
"What's the problem?" ask Uti as if she understands. Raihan shook his head in doubt "No uti"
"It is known that your marriage was at the request of Maryam and Sulaiman. Maybe you're not sure how you feel right now? there is only Uti and you.. What do you want to ask about orange? who knows can help you find something in here" uti said pointing at Raihan's chest. Raihan seemed to think, he tried to set aside his ego to get to know Orange further through uti in the hope of actually growing something in his heart.
"Eyang uti's? what was Airin and the Dead like?" ask Raihan carefully
"Hmmm, that. Ridho and Jingga married without the process of courtship. So Ridho knew Orange for only a few months.. At that time the story of Jingga was all on uti. He said Ridho expressed his feelings. Then Orange challenged him to meet his parents immediately"
FLASHBACKS
"More? mas Ridho said he said love with orange. No lie, right?" Orange stared at uti
"Do you like Ridho?" tanya uti investigates
"Hmm how well ti, if mas Ridho does not ngabarin Orange a day.. Orange must be anxious, worry too ti" replied Orange
"That's a sign that you like him too, and you answer what?" ask uti again
"Jingga said, if you seriously like the same Orange say it's just with Mom and Abah" he said confidently
"You're nantangin Ridho? if suddenly Ridho asks you from Abah and your mother how?"
"Ishh uti, ask what does that mean?"
"Yes lamar you nduk, want your? just graduated High School. Not in college yet"
"No idea, we'll see"
And sure enough, after the orange challenged him. Ridho went straight to Jakarta to meet with his parents with the intention of proposing to him. Ridho's family arrived at the Jingga family's residence Monday.
Because previously the brother of Orange (Rus) had been told about this from uti. Abah Rus immediately dug up information about the Ridho family.
At that time Abah immediately agreed to his proposal, because Ridho promised to keep and love Orange. With consideration finally Abah married them a few months later. Hearing the news that Ridho treated his son very well made Rus and his wife happy. At the beginning of the wedding Ridho plans to delay having a baby and give the green light to Orange immediately enroll in college. But Orange rejected him on the grounds of wanting to enjoy idle time just to be a good wife.
Ridho finally agreed, shortly after that Orange pregnant Kinanti when he was 19 years old. Orange in boyong Ridho in town B because Ridho was assigned there. At a relatively young age, Orange is quite mature and wise in dealing with the busyness of her husband. He could not demand much, almost every day Ridho apologized for his busyness. Given that her husband carried out heavy duty, Jingga always welcomed her apology from her husband.
"No one should be forgiven, mas Ridho there is nothing wrong with me" said Jingga rubbing the affection of her husband's head. Ridho is still busy peeling the belly of the orange that began to grow
"Airin's? I'm so sorry about you. Thank you for sacrificing your youth to be a wife and mother" Ridho softly kissed the orange forehead, Orange replied with a hug.
Their household life was really happy until finally, when the content of Orange almost reached the age of 28 weeks.
Ridho and his team got a pretty heavy task at that time.
"My feeling is not good mas" said Jingga still hugging her husband tightly
"Wish you the best, baby, it's my duty" Ridho gently kissed his wife's forehead and then left for duty
The feeling of an orange is really mixed. If she can, she wants her husband at home. She kept pacing back and forth all day waiting for her husband to tell her. After a few hours, Jingga performed her worship and sat down in front of the TV. She chose her husband's favorite television channel that only broadcasts news.
"The syndicate of smuggling firearms in the city xxx successfully dismantled. From this operation the police successfully arrested thirteen suspects and took over three hundred and twenty-nine firearms. This disclosure stems from the arrest of the UB initials suspect in Kota xxxx Kelurahan xxxx. Unfortunately one suspect managed to escape after previously shooting a police officer with the initial RH to injure the head and chest......"
Degggg !!!!!
As soon as the orange heart stopped pumping, its breath felt tight. He felt pain in his lower abdomen. Very sick, she tried to reach for a cell phone to contact her husband. But unfortunately before he managed to press the call button, he had already first fallen to the floor.
The next morning Jingga opened her eyes, she was already in the hospital with an oxygen hose on her nose. He's spreading his eyes. He saw all the families gathered in the room where the orange in the care.
"Hikss.. hiksss. mas Ridho !!!! Huaaaaa hiks.. huuuu" the cry of Orange broke after seeing everything cry. He remembered before this he had just watched the news. News of her husband's shooting.
Everyone stared at Orange with pity, his mother and in-laws strengthening the Orange. Orange continued to press his chest that felt tight. "Maaaa, I am Ridho maaa. Buuu??? Ibuuu mas Ridho where is ma'am? hiksss hikss"
The powerless wooing held back his cries. He saw his beloved daughter in pain and destruction.
"Yes Allah ndhuk, patient zinc. hiksss.. pity your son. ikhlaskan ya ndhuk" said Ajeng's mother.
"Buu mas Ridho ! Orange wants to see Ridho mas. Orange kangen hiks.." Ridho's parents were getting hit after seeing the state of his son-in-law as he was confused. "Mama, Ridho is still there, right ma? hicks.. Maaaa replied maaaa !!!! hiks. hikss" asked Jingga to her mother-in-law. Mom just shook her head and then left the room. He could not see the destruction of his son-in-law.
"O Allah, what is my fault in the past that you have to give suffering to my daughter this heavy?" batin Ajeng in his tears.
Abah and father-in-law Jingga did not dare to look at his favorite daughter. Adam was just drowning behind the door while listening to his sister's cries.
FLASH BACK OFF
Uti told Raihan every detail he knew. Raihan looks calmer than before.
"Enough for today, let's hope you keep the orange even better. Love her and love her, Insha Allah Orange is a good wife if you want to try to understand her" to reach Raihan's hand and then hold it. Slowly but surely Raihan nodded confidently.
