Marriage Dilemma

Mother Goddess?

Two months after the departure of the Angga bang, I got word from Linda that her mother is currently in quite severe pain. His hands, feet and face were full of scabs. Many times Linda took him to the hospital, and various kinds of drugs that he had bought, but there was no medicine that could cure the skin disease that was in the pain of his mother.

The longer the scabs emit a lot of pus and cause a fishy aroma. Linda complained to me about what she was facing right now, her tears pouring out. I suggested taking her to a dermatologist, but due to the limited cost, Linda was only able to take her on street medication with a general practitioner.

I asked my husband for permission to help me, but Devan strictly forbade me. He must have been so hurt that he did something like this, because the Devan I knew was so generous.

"I'm sorry baby, but this time I refuse your request. The pain is only in the body, not in the heart. What about your wounds all this time, Ra..? I as your husband have to take everything into account so that my wife and our children's lives are free from mass trauma."

That's how Devan answered when I asked her for permission to help Linda.

My pain won't go away, or it won't even go away. But I am also human, still having a conscience to sympathize with.

If it's like this, that's it. I can only follow my husband's words. I can only help Linda by offering her the best doctor who happens to be my friend.

"Well, can you help me, son? We need to get Grandma to the clinic. Your bud suggested I bring Grandma to his meeting."

"Oh ma'am, Tika's tired ah. Lagian disgust kali ma'am, ogah ah.kalo I want ya I just don't invite Tika. Or even that's the karma of grandma because it's evil to all people."

"Astagfirullah Tika, no matter how she is your grandmother Tik, Mother Mother."

"But because Tika's grandmother did not have a future, she indirectly destroyed Tika's life. Mother can imagine, how Tika ngadepin questions people, Tika's friends if Tika is pregnant with her child pakde Ilham, Mother's older sister. Tika was ashamed of mom, and now what? Tika finally left school and Tika's life has no purpose, when in fact Tika's life is still long."

The teenage girl who was sitting in the 1st grade of High School was forced to decide her education because of the tragedy that befell her.

So heartbreaking..

Linda ended up fighting on her own to bring her mother to the clinic I offered. Linda put a headscarf, mask, gloves and socks on her mother's helpless body, so as not to be known to many people.

Arriving at the clinic, Anggun, who is often called Doctor Anggun called me to tell me that my referral patient has come.

"Lo has to handle as much as possible Nggun, I believe in lo."

"What the hell is Ra made of? I'm surprised, Lo tell me if you've been treated not well with your former mother-in-law. But you're still welcome to help him, if I'm lo, Ra, I think a thousand times."

"Of course, it's just for the sake of humanity. Best of all, I'll close it first."

Gracefully wear gloves as well as a mask to open the cover of the patient's scabs.

"About two months of doc."

Gracefully nodding, she won't ask much because everything I've already told you in detail according to what Linda told me.

"Will my mother be cured doc?"

"I can only do the best I can, the rest is almighty destiny. Please note not to be scratched, it will even make the wound worse and widen."

"Nice doc.."

After receiving medicine from Anggun, Linda brought her mother home.

In front of the clinic, there was a middle-aged woman intensely watching Linda and her Mother.

"Excuse me, sorry are you Linda?"

"Yes my Linda, whose mother? Why do you know my name?"

"You're Linda Salma's son?"

"Yes. Do you know my mother?"

"Then she..?" His eyes glanced at my former mother-in-law who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"She's my mother."

"Salma's sick? Huh, what a fishy smell huh.."

"Sorry Mom, who is this mother?" Ask Linda again.

"I am the Goddess, the sister of the woman whom your mother has taken her husband."

"His husband? Seize it? What do you mean, Mom?"

Jin-jeng-jeng...
