Married To An Ex

Go home

Because it was too late in the afternoon, Rifky decided to stay at Nabila's house. Of course for some convincing reasons.  The man didn't want to just stop. There are reasons that can make the wife feel pity. 

After having dinner together in the dining room, Rifky approached Rumi who was preparing materials to make snacks tomorrow. He sat behind the middle-aged woman. 

''Mother,'' call her down. 

Rumi stopped his activities. Put the flour that was poured. Focusing on the serious-looking Rifky. There was no one other than the man, it seemed like Nabila had entered the room.

''What's up? Just sleep in Nabila's room, let Riana sleep in the mother's room later, Rumi said. 

''That's not what I want to talk about, '' Rifky replied seriously. 

''Then?'' Rumi was a little curious. His brain guesses Rifky's goal is coming for him.  

''I want to apologize for the mistakes I made with Mom and Nabila. I'm sure you're disappointed with my attitude. Must be mad because I've embarrassed Nabila in front of my parents.'' Stopped his words for a moment. Looking up, looking at Rumi's face fixedly.  

''But please, give me my blessing. Allow me to stay beside Nabila, ma'am. I promise I'll take care of her just like Mom kept her from the womb. I will keep trying not to hurt her, '' he added. 

Rumi took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. As a mother, she had to make wise decisions. No one wants to get hurt between the two. 

''Mother does not know how to answer, all decisions are in the hands of Nabila. He has the right to decide his life. I can only support, replied Rumi. 

''That means that mother allowed Nabila to come home with me?'' Rifky's face sparkled. His lips curved in the shape of a smile. Smile happy because it has got the green light from her mother-in-law. 

''If Nabila has agreed, mother can what.'' Relented.

Rifky grabs Rumi's hand and kisses her. Thank you for your decision. Little by little he had already begun to see the results of his sacrifices all along. Believing that no effort betrays results. 

''It was too late. Now sleep!'' tell Rumi. 

Rifky nodded then stood up from his seat. Walk to the wife's room. Open the door slowly and enter. It turned out that the lights of the room had turned dim, it was certain that Nabila had fallen asleep. 

Walk slowly remove the watch and put it on top of the closet. Then get closer to the bed.

Just one foot up, Rifky was startled by the sound of the bed creaking. In fact, he was very slow, but still made a sound. As a result, Nabila who had just fallen asleep for a few minutes opened his eyes again. 

''Fifty? What are you doing here?'' Nabila pulled out the blanket and closed her whole body tightly. Sliding his body on the sidelines, just in case. 

''Yes sleep, mother told me to, '' Rifky replied honestly. 

Stay lying next to Nabila. Clapping his hands, gave the wife the code to lean there. Trying to melt the very awkward atmosphere. 

Nabila shook his head at the sign of unwillingness. He chose to sit on the pillow. ''Where's riana?'' tanya Nabila. 

''She slept in my mother's room. It's night, go to sleep! I promise I won't fuck around.'' Rifky closed his eyes. 

Although Rifky's speech has been very convincing for Nabila. The woman is still worried and anticipating if at any time there is an impromptu attack. Just show his face. 

***

Mentari just came out of the Eastern horizon. Rifky and Nabila and Riana are neat. Today they will return to the city at the urging of Rifky who said there is an important event in the office. 

Rifky looked at the clock that was coiling in his hand. Quietly, looking for a way to eat the food and not late to come to the show. 

''Wrapped only, later can be eaten at the office, '' Pinta Rifky mediates. 

Appreciating the effort of Rumi who had gone to great lengths to cook for him. In addition, Rifky also likes the cuisine of his mother-in-law. Although simple, it tastes high quality, even almost similar to restaurant cuisine. 

''You sure want to eat food like this in the office.'' Nabila made sure again. It doesn't want Rifky to throw it away, redundancy is better given to people, so the point is. 

''Yakin. Why why anyway? The proof last night I finished off my mother's cooking.'' Rifky kept telling Rumi to wrap it up. 

''It's also true.'' 

Rumi put the food into two bushels, one for Rifky, the other for Nabila and Riana. I told the princess to follow her heart. 

Before leaving, Rifky approached her mother-in-law and gave the woman a brown envelope. 

'''Mom, don't misunderstand me first." Rifky interrupts Rumi's lips that are almost spoken. 

''I'm the only man in the mother's family, it means I have to take responsibility for mother and Nabila. 

''But mom can still make her own money.'' Rumi refused. He doesn't want to rely on anyone else, including Rifky. 

''I didn't force you to depend on me. I'm just fulfilling my duty as a boy, that's all. Thank you for giving me permission to look after Nabila.'' Shake hands. Then, get out without bringing that money again. Planning at any time will also invite Rumi to stay at his house. 

Confidently calling himself a boy from Rumi. Considered or not, he continues to try to close the wound that may still be gaping wide. Correcting a runaway situation because of his actions. 

''Be careful on the road.'' Rumi waved her hand towards Nabila who had already walked out of the house with Rifky and Riana. 

Nabila nodded without a sound. He only replied with a wave of his hand. At first glance, he looked at his mother with his eyes in a clear liquid. 

After driving Nabila to Riana's house, Rifky immediately drove his car to the office. To this day I can't go home to explain everything. There is a lot of work to be done in the office. 

''Good morning, sir, '' greet the passing officers.  

''Hmm....'' As usual, Rifky replied with deheman alone, his lips reluctant to open and speak. 

Just a few steps away from the main door, Rifky felt that there was something strange about all his employees. They looked at him with strange looks. In fact, some were laughing and whispering. 

''Why ''Why?'' Rifky turned his head towards the few people standing nearby. 

''There's nothing, sir. Sorry, they said cover up. 

Bizarrely. 

''Yes, apparently Mr. Rifky also wants to bring supplies like us.''

The door that had not been closed tightly made Rifky hear a speech from one of the employees who passed in front of the elevator. Now, he realized that they were indeed talking about it that brought a loud.  

''Do they really salute me, or insult me?'' Lifting Rantang Rumi's gift and smiling.
