LOVE IN THE SHADOW

THE CHAPTER 29

...***...

Maisya had just arrived at Raya's house, she was mentally preparing to explain what her son had done to her daughter-in-law. He could not imagine how his son-in-law would react when he said his son had a mistress?.

"Huuf!. Bismillah, good luck." In his heart tried to calm himself down so as not to look nervous. With the same feeling he pressed the doorbell of the house. And when he heard the sound of the door being opened?. "Assalamu'alaikum." Serve it in a very friendly voice.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." Balas Raya's. "Mama?." Raya did not expect that coming was her mother-in-law.

"Mama's son." Maisya hugged Raya tightly. "Build the heart of the servant of Allah." In his heart felt unwell when he was about to convey all that.

"Whose mom?. Papa's not coming?." As soon as they let go of the embrace, Raya immediately asked.

"Papa you have important business, so can't come along. Yea?. Mama's alone to your house." There was a feeling of disappointment that he felt when answering his daughter-in-law's question.

"Let's go in ma." Politely invite her mother-in-law to enter.

"Oh yes?. Mama brought something for you." Maisya gave me a box of food parcels.

"Loh?. What did you bring?." He said while taking a parcel box proffered by his mother-in-law.

"Mom bring food for you." He just smiled a little.

Just then they headed for the living room, of course they wanted to chat casually while sitting down.

"Raya just finished cooking for mama." Raya remembered what she had prepared for her mother-in-law to come.

"If we're just tukeran, how about it?." Suddenly an idea like that was in his head.

"May you ma." Of course Raya is very happy.

"If so, let's go to the kitchen to get everything ready." After saying that, he went to the kitchen.

"Okeh ma's." She happily followed her mother-in-law into the kitchen.

It seemed that Maisya could not rush to say what had happened to her son. He would slowly say what he was going to tell his son-in-law.

...**...

Meanwhile, in a large restaurant. That's where Bambang and Ravenska are, they have a very important affair to deliver.

"What's wrong, pa?. Make the mood not good." Ravenska felt a very awkward atmosphere when talking to her papa.

"You make papa with mama not good." I don't know why he almost got carried away by emotions when his son said that.

"Loh?. How can?." Ravenska was very confused by what her father had said.

"You don't pretend to be stupid!." He almost shook his son's head. "What are you doing out there that you don't know about your mom?." His anger could hardly stand it at that moment. "What you do is tantamount to raising a sleeping lioness." So emotional Bambang even said that to his son. "With what you did, your mama almost killed papa." He always defended his son. But at that moment only anger controlled him.

"Ravenska doesn't do anything." Ravenska still did not want to be honest with her father.

"You said you did nothing?. Then who is that pregnant woman you're hiding?. Huh uh?." His mood at the time was being tested by his own son.

The deg!.

Ravenska was very surprised by what her father had said. Suddenly his heartbeat worked faster than before. "How could papa know that?. I'm sure there's someone who's been saying that to papa." In his heart was very upset.

"Ravenska just wants to live with the one who ravenska loves." That's the answer he gave.

"You said just?." Almost he was emotional if he did not remember the person who said in front of him it was his son. "Only what comes out of your mouth makes you want to beat you up." With gestures about to grab his son's face, Bambang really could hardly hold back his emotions.

"From the beginning, Ravenska said it was the same papa, mom." It seemed like he was looking for the right reason to defend himself. "That ravenska won't marry a raya!." Speak with great emphasis. "But papa and mama who maksa ravenska for same-sex marriage. So don't mistake ravenska!." That's what he hasn't liked all this time.

"You know for yourself, right?." Bambang tried to give a warning to his son. "If your mama had said before, kalan Raya is your future wife?. Did you think your mom was joking?!." Of course he remembered the words of his wife at that time.

"Ravenska remains on the decision, ravenska will never leave salsa only deni faithfully equal." Ravenska still did not know to accept what her father had said. "Aren't men allowed to have many wives?." Ravenska was thinking that way.

"Ravenska!." It was with a very loud voice.

"Papa should not be angry with ravenska. Free, salsa is pregnant with ravenska's child." Wasn't he afraid of the high voice of his papa?. She said Salsa was pregnant with her child.

"Nufy!." Bambang tried to calm himself by sighing. Not knowing how he conveyed to his son, that his mother was enveloped in a burning rage after knowing that fact.

...***...

Slowly Maisya tried to explain to his son-in-law. That his son had cheated?. Is it true that his son cheated?.

"It is with a heavy heart that you want to convey this matter to you." There was a heavy feeling in his heart. "Mama's so sorry about you." That is the only word he can say.

"You don't need to apologize, you already know that ravenska has a mistress." Raya was just trying to endure the pain of her heart.

"So you know?." Maisya was very surprised to hear what Raya said.

"Yes ma." Raya just nodded her head in the true sign of what her in-laws had said.

"But why don't you tell Mom?." Maisya did not expect that her daughter-in-law had known that.

"That's because I don't want my mom to get mad at me ravenska." With very plain facial hair he answered the question. "Raya knows, if mama is angry, mama will mukul mas ravenska cake first. I don't want to ma." That's what would happen if he told his mother-in-law.

"Raya." Maisya. "I hope you're a strong woman." There was a feeling of sympathy tucked in his heart while listening to his son-in-law's words. "Even outrageous ravenska the same as you son." He truly sympathizes with Raya.

"These are all lacquers in order to protect ravenska. Raya will try to make mas ravenska love equal." Raya has said the reason why she did not want to tell her mother-in-law what her husband had done.

"Mama will help you. Mama's gonna help you get ravenska's love." That was the promise he made to Raya.

"Thank you ma." He felt an incredible sense of relief.

Is that what Raya felt at the time?. Is it true that just for the sake of protecting her husband she did not say anything to her mother-in-law?. Keep reading this story.

...***...

At the house of Salsa.

His mood returned pity, sadness, and dominated by bad thoughts about Ravenska which almost a few days can not be contacted.

"Why is there no news yet?. Does ravenska have a problem?." The first feeling of fear that haunted his mind. "Especially his phone number could not be reached. He's the first one who WhatsApps me." Salsa was deeply saddened by her condition. "Is he actually hiding something from me?. So he's afraid of being found out?. Is he really going to marry me?." Indeed, if observed with the attitude of Ravenska yes like it makes his mind wander out of nowhere. "I hope he really keeps his word. I don't want this child born without a father." He rubbed his growing stomach. There was an extremely overwhelming anxiety that enveloped his mood at that moment. "I just want this kid to be happy later." On the other hand, he is also imagining how happiness he wants when he is with the two people he loves very much. "Of course I'll give birth to you safely my son." With a gentle smile he would rub his enlarged stomach again. "The ring that's in your mama's hand, it's proof of your papa's love." He kissed the ring with sweetness on his finger. "Mama can't stand this with you guys anymore." Feelings of longing for someone who is very heavy. "Mama is imagining how happy we will go through later." So that someone's imagination arises to make himself really happy with his delusion. "Yes. Of course we're going through happy days." His smile puffed up as he imagined how peerless their happiness would be. Happiness that gives perfection of life to the three of them. The happiness that they will never give to anyone even if only a little. Sounds a bit overwhelming indeed, but that's the hope.
