Love In Silence

Balqis Passrah

　

After reaching home, Ayu immediately entered his room. There he shed all his cries. Balqis, who had taken a bath after waking up, wanted to make something for her mother and father-in-law but instead saw her mother who had just come home crying and went to her room. Balqis was not so to go to the kitchen, he memlih to approach his father-in-law and ask why and what is with his mother-in-law.

"Pa, mama why?" asked Balqis softly.

"Try me your mom's samperin and calm her down. Poor thing, he must have been hit because Aksa did not want to obey the wishes of mama and papa." Ezra replied while sitting on the sova and kneading her temple. It felt like his head was about to break thinking about his son.

"Alright, I'll see mama first." Balqis then went to her mother-in-law's room.

Arriving in front of his room, he saw his mother again crying, coincidentally the door of his room was not in the key. Slowly, he went in and approached his mother-in-law.

"Ma, why is mom crying?" ask Balqis.

"Son, mom is disappointed with Aksa. He dared to argue with his parents. I have failed at being a mother." Ayu replied while continuing to cry.

"Ma, this isn't my mom's fault. Believe me one day Mas Aksa will come back with us." Balqis.

"But son, you're ashamed of me and your papa. On the first night he left you and chose to meet another woman. You just became his wife. Mama sure, you also must be hurt, right. Again you must experience the same thing a second time." Ayu said crying sobbing sobbing, she already knew the past of her daughter-in-law because Dedi had told her.

"Mom don't have to think about me. It is difficult to accept the reality of all this but whatever the power, we can only be patient and pray that God opens the truth so that Mas Aska can know how the true nature of his lover is. Now we equally pray Mas Aska ma, so that he returns with us and becomes a child who complies to mama and papa. I have been sincere and resigned to the exam that I am experiencing at this time, it is sick and very sick, but I also cannot be weak because I have to think of people who love me. I don't want to because constantly thinking about this will make me sick and make people who love me sad. Now that I'm there, I'm gonna be a mama's boy. I'll always be there for mama." Balqis said smiling although his heart could not be lied to, he also felt the pain felt by his mother but he could not show his sadness, he also felt the pain as felt by his mother, he must be strong for the sake of those he loves and who love him.

"Thank you baby, thank you because when you are sad like this. You are there for mom, I am grateful to have a daughter-in-law like you. You are very valuable to your mother, your parents must be proud to have a daughter as beautiful and as good as you. If only you had been a mother's child, you would be happy." Ayu said while hugging Balqis.

"I am now my mother's daughter. Don't think of me as your daughter-in-law, think of me as your own biological child because I already think of my mother as my own real mama." Balqis said as she returned the embrace of her mother-in-law.

"Dear, my mom won't think of you as a daughter-in-law but as a child." Ayu said happily.

"From my mom crying, come with me to the kitchen and make a cake."

"What can you do to make a cake?" ask Ayu while taking off her embrace.

"Can dong. I've learned." Balqis.

"Here we go." Ayu said, somehow the existence of Balqis nearby is able to make his heart calm and no longer sad.

"There's in the living room ma, pity papa. He's sad, we entertain papa first yes ma new after that we make cake." Answer Balqis.

"All right, come on." Ayu.

Ayu and Balqis go to see Ezra.

"Papa?" call Ayu while sitting near her husband.

"Darling, aren't you sad anymore?" ezra asked, seeing that his wife could smile again.

"No pa and it's all thanks to our son-in-law. Uh wrong mama meant it was thanks to our favorite daughter pa." Ayu replied smiling as she looked towards Balqis.

"Thank you, son, you've made my mommy so sweet again.." Ezra smiled.

"The same pa.. You can't be sad, you have to be happy and you have to face all these problems with a smile. I believe God won't give us trials beyond our means." Balqis

"Yes you're right, baby." Ezra smiled again.

"Mom and I want to make a cake, papa want to come?" ask Balqis.

"God, papa wants to taste your cake." Answer Ezra.

"All right come on."

Balqis, Ayu and Ezra also go to the kitchen. Ayu asks her housekeeper not to go to the kitchen. While Ezra chose to sit while tasting a snack on the table while looking at his wife and daughter-in-law making a cake.

Ezra was grateful at a time like this, God sent a malaikan like Balqis to be in the middle of them. So Ezra and Ayu did not dissolve in sadness.
