Me, You And Mother-in-Law

Accepts

A wife's paradise is with her husband, although Anton does not treat Riri well, but Riri is convinced, that this is just a test God gave to strengthen her faith, and become a better person.

Since meeting with Ms. Ratna, Riri began to sort events that occurred in her household life so far, she finally realized that she also participated in all the household problems that occurred.

Since marrying Anton, Riri has been formed as an independent woman and also has the ability to be the backbone of the family when both parents were unable to support their children, Riri becomes oblivious to her status as a wife who must appreciate and respect her husband as the head of the family whose nature is to give a living.

After having a job and successfully bringing yourself in financial success that makes Riri's position higher than Anton makes Riri's attitude unwittingly change, Riri who used to always obey whatever Anton's request became a little defiant because Riri uses the viewpoint of efficient financial handling and according to Riri sometimes Anton's desire is too high to exceed his financial ability.

On the other hand, Anton felt that his space was always limited, feeling depressed and inferior was also one of the triggers that caused Anton did not like to see the success of his wife, who had, her male side feels disturbed by the existence of Riri who has and finds something more than what Anton gets.

It is a common thing that happens when women in households are faced with career improvement so that their love life becomes disrupted.

Communication and honesty from both parties are very important in cases like this, especially when the economic crisis and pandemic conditions, almost some women or wives who have a role in the economic defense of the family, especially in the event of economic crisis or pandemic, not a few heads of families who are not able to survive eventually exposed to many diseases, not a few also experience heart failure, stroke, and also depression.

Communication is something that Riri and Anton did not have at the beginning of the household until their household was vulnerable to other parties, including the family, children are not the only goal they survive to not see other men or women.

Devotion after reflection about Riri's past danced back in Riri's mind until Bu Ratna's voice broke her daydream.

"Son Riri...dream again hmm?" Ms. Ratna came with a cup of tea and a fried banana snack to accompany them in the afternoon today.

right.right now Riri is at Ratna's mother's house, to exchange ideas when there is no more family or close people who can be invited to exchange ideas with the conditions experienced by Riri, which is not the case, God is like sending an angel in the form of a middle-aged woman like mother ratna to help Riri when her soul has tired, and it was terbesit want to go far away to leave everything including his son who plans he will give up entirely for Anton guard.

"eh..iya Bu..heheheheh" Riri scratched her non-itchy head and a tinge of red sped up to her cheek in embarrassment of being caught off guard by Ms. Ratna due to frequent daydreaming.

"drink first son, after this let's tell a story" said Ms Ratna softly.

Riri sipped the tea provided by Ms. Ratna a warm feeling spread in Riri's esophagus and also a calm feeling enveloped Riri's heart at this time.

"Mom...I have not seen anyone in the house, where??" riri asked after enjoying a few sips of tea made by Bu Ratna.

"Alhamdulillah my children mondok son, if my husband is studying and the possibility will be back later tonight" replied Ms Ratna.

"when can I be like a mother yes" muttered Riri who could still be heard by Ms. Ratna.

"every human being has his way, son, what you are doing right now is what you are seeing right now, you don't see the process just yet as we walk towards the stage you're currently seeing" Ms Ratna told Riri.

yes man can only see a person from what they are now without knowing the process they used to face to reach at the stage seen by others today.

"ah...yes.mom is right, maybe my life path has to go through such a complicated test to achieve something that I can later be proud of that will come to me in the present day, Mom??" ask Riri.

"well, Riri wants to start understanding how God's scenario works, right?"" ask Ratna with a smile.

"yes Ma'am, but still I need input from my mother for what steps I should continue in the future" Riri replied to Ms Ratna.

"Well son, let's start, where son Riri wants to discuss, and if later I can help hopefully what I suggest can be a benefit to the life of son Riri in the future yes" said Mrs Ratna gently.

"yes Ma'am, for sure, I hope I get a way out so that my heart can be calmer" replied Riri enthusiastically.

Finally they dissolve in the story of the problems faced by Riri, from the time he was married to the present, and how the taste of his heart today to the husband, children, in-laws and brothers, and how the feeling of his heart is now to the husband, children, in-laws and brothers, the circle that makes everything related, so sometimes Riri feels depressed because of the actions of all of them.

Ms. Ratna listened carefully without any story being missed, Ms. Ratna was very concerned to know that Riri used to be a woman who practiced the Shari'a, although not completely complete but quite consistent in terms of time and moment, but since marriage instead of being led to closer to heaven by the husband was even the opposite, but since he was married, Riri was made to stay away from the habits she had been doing as long as she was a girl.

Almost three hours more Riri recounted all the problems of his life that he had gone through, and now the corner of Riri's eyes flowed a clear liquid that he could no longer bear, he said, but there was a glimmer of relief in his heart after telling his grief all along.

"drink some more tea, son, so that you can be better" said Ms. Ratna with one hand landing on Riri's back and stroking gently to give her inner strength.

"Thank you for listening to my story Mom, I really don't know where to go or how to go" Riri bowed while adjusting his breathing that was irregular because of the tightness of remembering what he had gone through.

"all the things that happened there must be God's intervention, son, as at this time, I got the mandate to help son Riri" the faint smile from Ms. Ratna's face made Riri's heart warm.

"Many things can be done after this, son, but the most important thing today is to try to accept all these tests not as a problem but as a process for a better life in the future", obviously ratna's mother was on Riri.
