Marriage Dilemma

Angga and Nadira

I've been in the yard of the house I left 5 years ago. Not much has changed in my parents' home. With all the prayers that I had said in my heart, and filled with confidence, I took Rama's hand to step up to the door.

I rang the doorbell of the house, which is still the same as before.

"Yes for a moment" a woman's voice came from inside the house.

"Who are you looking for, Mommy?" The housekeeper I knew was not him, who opened me the door.

"Mama is?" My toot.

"Mama? You mean Mety's mom?" And I nodded at him. It's only natural that he doesn't know me, because I haven't been in this house in a long time. Maybe even my picture was thrown away by my mom.

"Mother Mety is gone, Ma'am who is it?"

"I'm Nadira Bi, Mama Mety's son," I replied.

"MasyaAllah non Dira huh? Oh God enter non, enter!" Aunt seemed excited to welcome me. While Mama's gone somehow reacts to knowing I'm back in this house.

"Auntie bring non-stuff to the room?!" bargained for.

"Eh, don't be bi, later. While waiting for Mama to come home, Mama must be going to church, right Bi?"

"Yes non, mother to church," Aunt answered kindly.

"Whose aunt's name? Has it been working here a long time?" Tanyaku.

"Name aunt Jumiati non, call me bi Jum. Aunty has been working here for three years since bi Nani returned home," I nodded in understanding.

Bi Nani was a housekeeper who worked at Mama's house from when I was in high school. Bi Jum tells of the cessation of Bi Nani because she had to take care of her husband who was often sickly.

"Mother Mety told many stories about non Dira's same aunt. Poor Mother non, mother often cry because she misses non Dira very much,"

"What's so bi?" Seeing bi Jum nod I felt moved.

"Alhamdulillah," I muttered making bi Jum smile.

Mama has told me a lot about Bi Jum who married Bang Angga with different beliefs and I follow my husband's beliefs.

"Mother, Rama's hungry,"

"Eh, you hungry handsome boy, come with aunt to the dinner table!" Take a Bijum to Rama. Rama nodded and followed Bi Jum and I followed him.

No matter how long it took me and Rama to enjoy our meal, the bell rang.

I was getting more and more excited to hear that, because it was definitely Mama who had just returned from her worship.

Bi Jum seemed to hurriedly open the door.

"It's been a long time Bi?"

"Eh, sorry ma'am again in the kitchen," Mama nodded and she stepped inside the house.

"Who's stuff is this bi?" Mama asked when she saw all my stuff was still on the living room couch.

"That's mom, belongings..

"Mr..!" I called my mother with teary eyes.

Mama looked at me, like the first person to meet, Mama looked at me from top to bottom.

"There's no way Nadira can go home bi, maybe just my reflection," Mama told bi Jum.

"That's non Dira Bu, the mother's son is back," said Bi Jum made Mama look at me again and rubbed his eyes several times.

Mama walked over to me, see if I really came home?

Mama's eyes glazed over seeing me who was really real in front of her.

"Na-Nadira, is this really you?"

I nodded, "Yes Ma, it's Dira, Mama's son."

Grep...

Mama hugged me, her tears breaking. I also returned the warm embrace of a mother I had long missed.

"Mama's forgotten that long ago Dira, but you're so angry with Mama that you never visit Mama. Mama's been lonely, son, ever since your father died,"

"Died by Ma?" I am saddened by deep regret. After 5 years passed we never met and now I find the harsh reality of my father's death.

"Mother..!" Rama approached me.

"Is that your son, Ra?" Ask Mama.

"Yes Ma, this is Rama the son of Dira. Rama, let's kiss Grandma's hand!" Rama said he kissed his grandmother's hand.

"Sugary. Bi Jum, those things belonged to Dira right? Bring her to her room!"

"Good ma'am," Bi Jum quickly tidied up my things and brought them into the room.

"Mama's daughter-in-law isn't coming?" Asked Mama suddenly who did not see the existence of Bang Angga.

I fell silent, out of nowhere I explained all the problems I had been facing. But Mama understood the meaning of my silence so much that she asked, "What happened to Dira?"

With a heavy sigh, I began to tell everything from the beginning until I finally decided to divorce from Bang Angga. Mama let out tears listening carefully to all my complaints that I have been facing with Rama.

"Trust me, God will repay all their deeds" said Mama.

5Year no see, Mama changed a lot. Mama used to be angry, selfish but now not seen again.

We will realize how important it is to keep feeling when we lose. And that's a fact.

Mama and I talked at length, treating our longing that had not met. While Rama, I let him play with Bi Jum.

What is the life of my ex-husband?

This time even so, bang Angga lived with a very deep sense of regret for having wasted his wife and child.

Three months passed, Rama and I were happy now living in the midst of a family that loved us very much.

Maybe this is the sweet fruit of my patience all this time to live with pain. And I can't wait for the birth of my second child soon.

While different from the family of Bang Angga. His mother has often been sickly, to make bang Angga and Linda forget to take care of him. Why kualahan? Just realized that your mother was a fuss?

The pain is still deep and wet in my heart if I remember all the memories of my life with bang Angga and also his mother.

"Bang, Linda really can't bear to take care of mom. Are we looking for a sister, bang" Linda suggested to her sister.

"Bat brother's salary is not that big, you have to pay an assistant to take care of Mom, Lin,"

"Tikaaaaa, Lindaaa, Anggaaa, fetch the mother of water," he cried from inside the room.

Tika who passed through her grandmother's room immediately approached.

"Tika, get grandma water, granny thirsty!"

"Grandmother told Tika? Very males ck. Take it yourself,"

"Grandma's hard to make Tika's way, help Grandma!"

"Eat him the same son-in-law do not be too cruel Grandma. This is grandma's karma because it's evil with Bude Dira. Want to drink take it yourself, Tika males, tired of wanting to rest," his enlarged stomach makes him always complain tired.

"People...."

"What's wrong, Angga's tired!"

"Mother thirsty Angga," bang Angga directly fetch drinking water for his mother.

"Mom. Angga, Linda and Mas Ilham agreed to hire a nurse to take care of the mother" said Bang Angga.

"Why should a nurse take care of mom? Sweetheart, you have to pay the sisters. Why don't you ask Dira to take care of Mom? Free!"
