Instantaneous Sweetness

Back To Old People

‘’Ma!’’ Only that word was spoken on my lips, between sobs of tears. Mama seemed to be getting more anxious and my baby who was waking up was crying.

‘’Nak, let's go inside first. Pity your baby and shame if neighbors see us,’’ mama.

I nodded and tried to wipe away my tears but it kept flowing. Mama took Rafi from my sling and then brought her into the house, I followed the steps of the mother who was still sobbing. The new house occupied by my parents seemed so spacious that to go to the family room was a few minutes just arrived there.

Mama took Rafi to the room and I nodded on the sofa of the family room.Mama stepped over to my place and sat beside me. I hugged my mother and my crying broke again.

‘’Yes God, what's the matter, son? Story yes, if you think you won't know what happened to you,’’ lirih mama stroked my back.

‘’Andre men—divorce me,’’ my word stammered in between sobs. Suddenly made mama surprised in shock for a moment.

‘’What? Why, Nak?’’ Mom's eyes looked round. He took off my embrace.

‘’You story, Son. Why did he divorce you?’’ Mama seemed to be holding back her anger.

‘’Ka— said he has no love again with me,’’ sahutku sober.

‘’Astaghfirullah ‘al adziim, instead he used to love you. Basic man! Why even now he says he doesn't love you.’’

‘’He said it first, Ma. Different with now.’’

‘’This can not be left, you have made her pregnant out of wedlock! Now he just wants to talk like that! Mama should teach people a lesson!’’ This time my mother was furious, could no longer contain her anger and hurried to her feet. However, I held back my mother by pulling her hand.

‘’Ma, Where are you going? He divorced me and that's what he said, Ma. She also left her home.’’

‘’ Don't you block Mama. Mom went to her parents' house. Mama wants to hold her parents accountable, why she did not educate her child well!’’ The woman who gave birth to me nineteen years ago looked red. He hurried back but I blocked him by holding his leg tight.

‘’Ma, I beg you. Mama calm down first yes.’’

‘’Where do you want to calm down, huh? You are treated like a gini, which parents will be patient to be treated like this!’’

‘’Ma, I know it. But, the rice has become porridge and Andre will not be able to refer to me again because he has already said three talaq to me. And I'm tired of being hurt, Ma.’’

‘’What? Talaq three?’’ Makes my mom surprised.

Yeah, I've heard that the husband dropped three talaqs on his wife. So there is no more opportunity to refer, unless the woman married another man first and can only refer back to her ex-husband. However, I have not been so much science about this talak and the plan I will ask ustadz or people who have extensive knowledge about this talak so that I will not be mistaken later. But, honestly, I now want to focus on raising my son first.

‘’So you've been hurt by that jerk, why don't you ever tell Mama, why?’’ This time, my mother shook my body.

I nodded slowly,’’I don't want Mama and Papa to think about my household problems.’’

‘’Ya Allah, Son. Not that too. You should have told Mama with Papa, not harbored your own problems.’’ Mama looked disappointed. A round of tears drenched his cheeks that began to wrinkle.

‘’Ma’af, Ma. Ma’af, but I'm afraid to be a burden of mind with Mama and Papa.’’ I grabbed Mom's hand and held her fingers.

‘’Honey, that's no excuse according to Mama. However, Mama and Papa still have to know your problem, there is no way you bear it yourself especially at your very young age at home.’’ Mama looked at me softly and wiped my tears.

‘’Iya, Mom. Ma’afikan me,’’ lirihku.

’’Other times you do not look at your own problems yes, Nak.’’ I replied with a nod.

‘’Ma, about Andre divorcing me. I'll try to accept it.’’ Finally, words that are difficult to say come out spontaneously. Mama looked surprised at me.

‘’Not him you love him?’’ ask Mom for a moment and look at my face.

‘’Love will fade when often hurt, Ma. ‘’ My answer is able to make the most miserable mama.

‘’You were right, son. This is the best for you. Andre is not worth fighting for. And you deserve to be happy.’’ Mama seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and gave me a booster. Yeah, he seems to be calm now.

‘’Iya, Mom. And also maybe this is all a reply for me, I am so easy to taste sweetness that is just a moment and so easily consumed seduction syetan.’’

‘’Alhamdulillah, now that you're starting to wake up, son. Ma’af Mama who is negligent in educating you, ma’af Mama and Papa who are busy working compared to educating you.’’ Mama's voice this time shook violently and her tears were dripping back on the cheeks that were starting to wrinkle it. I shook my head immediately.

‘’Ngak, Mom. Mama and Papa are not wrong, even at such a busy time always take the time to advise and teach me good things, I am the one who does not listen to the advice of Papa and Mama. I'm being too stubborn.’’ My hands were raised wiping away my mother's tears.

‘’Ma’af me, Ma. I sin a lot with Mama and Papa,’’ I revert. A circle of tears was unceasingly falling down my cheeks.

‘’Mama and Papa have mema’mu, even before you ask ma’af. The monik is not too late to repent, Allah is Oft-Forgiving but do not repeat the sins that have been made.’’

‘’Alhamdulillah, thank you very much, Ma. Help and guide me so that I can be better again yes.’’ Instantly there was a sense of relief appearing in this heart. Mama nodded and smiled.

‘’Sama-sama, Mama will guide you as best as Mama.’’

‘’You must remain strong, steadfast, and keep the spirit yes, dear. Especially now that you have Rafi. Take care, love him and educate him well. Mama will help educate and keep Rafi.’’

‘’In shaa Allah, Ma. Thank you so much, I am so lucky to have Mom and Dad. Ma’afik me who can not make Mama and Papa happy.’’

‘’Sama-sama, Darling. Smile first dong, from earlier cry continues.’’ Mama nodded and seemed to wipe her tears and smiled at me. I wiped my tears and tried to smile.

‘’Nah, so dong, Darling.’’ Mama put her back on me.

‘’You rest first yes, Rafi has fallen asleep in the room.’’

‘’Iya, Mom. Where's papa going? I didn't see Papa. Ah, I forgot to mention Papa.’’

‘’Papa works as usual. You have to rest first, must be tired right?’’ I'm nodding.

‘’I rest first yes, Ma.’’

Mama replied with a nod and then smiled. Slowly I stepped into the room and carried my suitcase which I had just left. It's been two rooms that I opened but Rafi can't find sleeping there. I reopened the last room. Well, it turns out that there my baby was put to sleep by my mom.

Yes, thank you I just set foot in this house. Especially the rooms so much. I rushed into the room and closed it. I put suitcase. Looks like my baby's still asleep. I lay down a body that feels tired. Instantly my flat thing rings.

‘’Where does it sound yes?’’ I sat down and looked for where the source sounded.

‘’Oh yes, I forgot. I put it in my suitcase pocket.’’ I patted my forehead softly and rushed to unzip the outer suitcase.

I stared at my phone screen that said ‘’Mama-in-Law’’ there. Yeah, now she's not my mother-in-law anymore. My heart was sad to see the name of the contact I wrote a few months ago. I rushed to turn on the data packet and opened the green app. I looked at some incoming messages.

‘’Mama Karni again? The photo? What photo?’’ I hurried to open a message from Mama Karni. How surprised I was to see him.

‘’Heritage letter from Mama for my baby? I also do not understand about this heritage.’’ My eyes glared and my mouth was blown away. There stated that mama gave her inheritance half to her granddaughter. O Allah, Alhamdulillah. But this is so much. The new money given by Mama Karni has not been used a penny and that is also quite a lot.

‘’Assalamua’alaikum. Ma’af Mama's message I just read. Mama really want to give me that much? Mama also need more cost, Ma.’’ wrote me on the green application and sent to mama. Looks black two-striped check, not long turned blue sign mama has read my message.

‘’Wa’alaikumussalam, Monik. Its nothing. Mom really, Mama had thought carefully before. Don't worry, son. Thank God that Mama had much sustenance given by Allah. You even need a lot of money especially you have Rafi, it has become the responsibility of Mama because Andre certainly will not be responsible. Mama please accept yes and it can also make savings for Rafi later.’’ I was really moved to read the reply from Mama Karni, instantly making me shed tears.

‘’Yes Allah, Thank God if so, Ma. Thank you very much, Mama is very good and may Allah repay all the kindness of Mama. I love Mama very much. Healthy always yes.’’

‘’Sama-sama, Darling. Mama is happy to be able to help your granddaughter and also you, aamiin. May you always be healthy. My mom loves you too much. Yes, Mama rest first. Assalamua’alaikum.’’ I wiped my tears slowly.

‘’Iya, Mom. Wa’alaikumussalam.’’ I put the flat thing back on the nightstand.

I lay my body back. Not long ago flat objects again rang. I slowly got up and grabbed it. I stared at the mobile phone screen.

‘’Ayu? Oh Allah, I forgot to tell Ayu.’’ I patted my forehead slowly. Yes, Ayu must be worried about me for not telling her.

‘’Assalamua’alaikum, Yu.’’

‘’Wa’alaikumussalam, Monik. You haven't heard from me in a long time. You how are you?’’

‘’Eh, yes, Yu. Thank God, my news is good and healthy. You how? It's healthy, right? Same father Mother?’’

‘’Thank God, I'm so good and healthy too. Same father Mother Alhamdulillah healthy. Oh yeah, how's Rafi? Healthy right?’’

‘’Alhamdulillah, Yu. Rafi is also healthy.’’

‘’I'm happy to hear it. Ma’af I haven't been able to play to your In-laws' house. Oh yeah, Andre how? He's not rude anymore with you right?’’

Jem! O Allah. I can no longer speak. For a moment I was silent. What should I answer? Did I tell Ayu?

‘’Ya, Ayu deserves to know everything. He is my best friend, let me also be relieved,’’ muttered me instantly.

Finally I decided to tell Ayu everything to make her shocked.

‘’Ya Allah, astaghfirullah ‘al adziim. Why don't you tell me and don't tell me, Monik. Why just now? Andre is so outrageous!’’ I heard Ayu's voice being upset across the street.

‘’Ma’af, Yu. I'm shy and embarrassed, I often ngerepotin you. And maybe this is the best for me,’’ I replied softly.

‘’Yes Allah, you don't know me. We have been friends for a long time, why did you even say like that?’’

‘’You were right, Monik. Maybe this is best for you. Andre kayak man should not be able to be defended, there you will be hurt continuously and eat the heart made,’’ Ayu added across the street.

‘’You must be strong and can get through this. I'm sure of that and you're not too late to repent. Consider this a test, a reprimand, and a recompense for everything you do. Allah scolds you so that you may return to His ways.’’

‘’I hope I'm strong and can get through this, Yu. Truly, Allah rebukes me in His way. And I have never been sensitive to the reproof given by God. Help me to become a better person.’’

‘’Aamiin Yes Robbal ‘aalamiin. You can, the spirit always does. I'll do all I can.’’

‘’Oh yes, Mr Ardi got caught, do you already know the news?’’ ask Ayu for a moment.

‘’Iya, Yu. I saw it on TV, somehow I wanted to watch it that day and I was shocked to see Papa Ardi who was arrested by the police for having a debt of 2 Millyar.’’

‘’Oh yes? When I was told the same story Dad, Dad knew it was because Dad's office had a story and the news had been spread everywhere. How much is that debt, huh? What for his affair times yes.’’ It amazes me with Ayu's words just now. That means the news has spread everywhere.

‘’Yes Allah, many already know means yes, Yu. An affair? Where do you know, Yu?’’

‘’Iya, Monik. Dad said that Mr. Ardi had an affair and it was discovered with his wife, so the wife of Mr. Ardi immediately seized the company from her husband.’’ Makes my mouth stare. I live there and I don't know much about it. Lah, Ayu who was far away could tell?

‘’Ya Allah, Yes, Yu. But fortunately Mama can take it back,’’ replied I breathe a sigh of relief.

‘’Alhamdulillah Yes, Monik. Well, the pantes aja Andre kayak is that nature. It turns out that Mr. Ardi's nature is declining,’’ he said again.

‘’Iya, Yu. You are really very.’’

‘’Nothing, already you should have let go of him. And do not repeat the same mistake, do not repeat the same sin. Intend to change for the better and educate Rafi well. I'm sure you can.’’

Makes me look for a moment. Yes, Ayu's words can make me reflect. Being able to break through this niche of my heart, my heart grew stronger and moved to change for the better. Is this what you call guidance?

‘’Still a lot, Yu. In shaa Allah, help do’akan me yes. O Allah, I am very lucky to have a friend as good as you, a friend who always takes me on His path. Ma’afikan me who did not listen to your advice first, I really regret my actions,’’ lirihku without me realize the circle of tears back dripping.

Yes, I was not so close to Ayu because she once forbade me to date and always reminded me of good things. It turns out that what Ayu said was true and what Ayu was worried about really happened to me. It turns out this is what is called the real friend, a true friend until jannah. Now I just feel, I am very lucky to have a friend like Ayu who is rarely obtained by others. I should have been so lucky to have a friend like Ayu.

‘’Sama-sama, Monik. In shaa Allah I help with do’a also yes. It's okay, Monik. I should be wrong, I am not too careful of you until this happens. Ma’af me yes.’’

Oh my God, what? Is Ayu still feeling guilty? He always reminds me, always counsels me. I was stubborn and unwilling to listen to his advice, my heart hardened and hard to accept the truth. Ayu is very kind and she has a noble heart. I never found anyone as good and good as him. Hopefully he gets a sholeh and good partner like him later.

‘’Ya Allah, I asked ma’af really. I am stubborn and do not want to listen to your advice,’’ I feel guilty. I heard the voice of Ayu's father calling across the street.

‘’But I am also negligent in reminding you, I am not too careful about you. The evidence is that something unwanted happened. Oh yes, yes, Monik. Ma’af, Dad called me. Stay strong and passionate. Assalamua’laikum.’’ The phone connection was also cut off. My phone was still in my hand, I pondered this time for longer.
