Me, You And Mother-in-Law

Turning Point

Riri's car drove through the silence of the night, the clear circle from the corner of Riri's eye, no longer able to be held, Riri drove his car at high speed, felt a very deep tightness, and, feeling helpless over all Anton's attitude, whether he loves the wrong person, whether he will never feel happy, why God is so evil to Riri.

all kinds of thoughts revolved in Riri's head until someone crossed the road and almost Riri lost the lives of others with his useless actions.

'ckkiiiitt'

riri's car almost hit a big tree, fortunately Riri still had time to wake up and can control well until the vehicle he was driving did not hit or overturned because of lost balance.

Riri immediately came out and ran over, a middle-aged mother with a long hijab that covered almost her entire body.

tense, shocked faces imprinted on the face of the hijab-wearing woman, but for a moment after they met the woman gave a smile to Riri as if nothing had happened.

"sorry.sorry.I'm sorry ma'am" Riri's pinta many times still with a few tears dripping from the corner of her eye.

"it's okay son.., thank God mom is still fine, just shocked earlier" the soft voice of this middle-aged woman was so soothing and made Riri's heart warm.

"are you okay?" ask the woman again.

Riri could only shake her head trying to tell her that she was fine, and the woman smiled.

"you're not okay, son, let's check if your car is okay" she exclaimed

"ah..iya Ms. ..mari, oh where are you going or where?" riri asked as they walked side by side, towards Riri's car.

"mother finished the contents of the taklim nak in the housing complex over there, just because there are those who ask for advice and advice about her problems finally mother has gone over night and no more public transportation is passing by" obviously the woman was long.

"oh ..then let's ma'am, I just take it with me, like my car is safe" said Riri

"later no troublesome mother?" sahi the woman

"just think of it as my apology that accidentally wanted to hit the mother" said Riri sincerely.

"alright son.., but it seems like you yourself have a problem too huh?? want to share with mom? maybe it can lighten the burden a little in your heart, because when the problem is stored without being issued or sincerely it will feel tight and it is not good son" said the woman was sincere like understanding what Riri was thinking.

"so far we have not met son, Ratna's mother's name" while extending her hand.

"Riri" received a helping hand from Ms. Ratna.

"mother does not ask you to explain your problems to mother, because we have just known, but mother wants to remind you something, that when you are faced with a problem, when you are faced with a problem, you should face and ask for solutions through an inner bond with the omnipresent heart and also the almighty who governs everything, not running, spilling all disappointments, anger, sadness in the way as before, he said, because not only you will be harmed, other people who do not know anything can also be harmed, for example I was" said the mother slowly slicing Riri's heart so painful

it is true what Ms. Ratna said, that the problem should be faced by surrendering and asking for a solution to the omnipresent ruler, God...

whether there is a push from where or indeed the path of human life no one ever knows unless the omnipotent governs life, sometimes humans want a simple end by leaving problems in order to get happy, but it could be that God wants him to stay in trouble to become a better, stronger, human being, and more able to appreciate yourself and also others.Finally flow Riri's story about the outline of the problems he faces, he said, how does this problem oscillate itself like a ship that walks alone in the middle of the ocean without knowing the direction and destination.

"Son..life is indeed full of twists and turns.., what we want is sometimes not what we need, it is what we need, the essence of loving and being happy is not in being you can love more than you love the creator, and being happy is not what you have received as a favor and focus on being grateful for what you have got, but it does not mean forgetting to be grateful to who gave the favor itself, but it does not mean forgetting to be grateful to who gave the favor itself, Happiness is simple when the heart is good at being grateful and at peace with itself" Ms Ratna holding both hands Riri channeled power over the turbulent emotions in Riri's heart at this time.

"mother looks at the problems you face from the angle of the person in the middle, all those problems do not be asked what, why and why, but start asking how, when we ask what, what, why and why then tend we will look for objects to blame may be you blame the husband, or someone else, but what after blaming people, the problem will be solved? learn to ask how the problem occurs, introspection and making peace with yourself in order to hold the ego".

replied Bu Ratna straightforwardly

"if you want, you can come to mother, not to complain and tell the problem you have, but come to my mother to learn how you can surrender and learn to tell all your problems to God" continued Ms. Ratna again.

Riri was really made unable to say any more words, the words of Bu Ratna felt slapped on her face because all this time Riri just pretended to say that she was good, even though she was not good.

and he never tried introspection and made peace with his heart.

"Mom..teach me to know God.again" cried Riri.

"of course, son.., the Lord is so close and he longs to hear your voice, so fix everything from zero as your way of emigrating, may you find yourself in a better state than you are today" Ms Ratna replied with a smile.

after that they chatted casually while getting to know each other until their drinks were not restless, then Riri drove Ratna's mother back home and promised to come back to study further in order to become a better person.

Sometimes man considers himself all-knowing, everything can be, but in fact man does not know it but becomes pretentious in order to defend self-esteem.

with the twists and turns of life that Riri lived, it turns out he found the turning point today through the hands of someone who had never been present in his life
