Me, You And Mother-in-Law

Me, You And Mother-in-Law
Resigned to Destiny



The sound of the chanting of sacred verses.mengalun beautifully in Riri's ear makes peace and serene in Riri's heart, currently Riri is in one of the places of worship from Ratna's mother, Riri, listen to the disciples there chanting the holy verses.


Every being in this community makes Riri forget his pain, his fatigue and his heartbreak, because when with them Riri can rearrange the broken heart pieces and feel sincere friendship and affection without any rewards to be paid.


Reza who participated also had friends to play there, mixing together with the students from Bu Ratna, who had, as well as the children of fellow community friends who are running around playing hide and seek that is the language of ancient games that Riri knows, but we either do not know what the children of today call it.


"drink first son." Mrs Ratna's voice ripped Riri's daydream.


Riri looked up at her face and found that Ratna's mother was standing in front of her, Riri smiled at Ms Ratna and picked up the glass she was pointing at.


a warm drink steaming from a glass containing wedang water made by Bu Ratna and this wedang is the most fitting felt by Riri compared to other wedang he usually bought.


"yesterday mom wait for you Ndak come.mom think you are busy" Bu Ratna's eyes looked at the look of Riri's face that looks pale, he also sat his body beside Riri, he sat down next to Riri, he observed the face of the woman beside him who in recent months, he had considered like his own biological child.


"Mom...Riri can ask for help" Riri reached into Bu Ratna's hand with her beautiful face, looking fixedly at Bu Ratna.


"what's up, son? as long as you can, I will try" replied Ms. Ratna gently.


"Mother.There are things that Riri wants to say, Riri hopes that I will help Riri, she said, it is hard if Riri has to tell Riri's family especially not long ago God has called the only valuable woman in Riri's life, plus Riri's current financial status, plus the current financial status, Riri is just worried that Reza is not getting her rights right" Bu Ratna's heart is filled with words that hint that Riri will leave everything behind.


"What's the matter son..does this have anything to do with your husband again?" asked Ms. Ratna who knew a little about how to move from Riri to become a better person than before.


"Not Ma'am.insya my God is sincere, at this time, I just want to surrender to fate" Riri said those words steadily.


Riri told Ms. Ratna about her health condition where the possibility of recovery remains but the worst possibility is death.


Riri also said that he had prepared a future program for Reza if he could not survive, Riri wants Ms Ratna to help so that what she has prepared early on cannot be seized or transferred to others before her 23-year-old son.


we will never know when death picks up this tired body, Riri does not want what he sacrificed and struggles to fall into the hands of the wrong person, even though it is her husband, Riri, Riri still cannot believe what he has achieved at this time to leave it to Anton.


The path of destiny no one ever knows, even after being hit by the lunge wind that swept the Big Dipper of his household Riri still gets a new test with his illness, either surprise let alone that he will find later, Riri still gets a new test with his illness, he can only pray and hope that everything that happens is the best for him.


"There's no love for me, ma'am" said Riri, but she could still be heard by Ms. Ratna and a handsome man.


"There is.love me to you" said a handsome, thin-faced but handsome man and his two eyes that were laying down were standing beside Ms. Ratna.


"Assalamualaikum umi" Fahri, the youngest son of Ratna's mother, who had just returned from her studies in Cairo and is currently pursuing dawah, became a lecturer at one of the boarding schools in the city.


"godz..." Riri cupped both hands in front of the chest of the greeting sign for the man who had been listening to the conversation between Riri and uminya, Riri did not dare to look at ustadz Fahri.


"Fahri..since when are you here??" mother Ratna asked her youngest child who was two years older than Riri, Ms. Ratna was quite surprised by the courage of this child, clearly she knew that loving that person's wife was a sin, but hearing all the stories of this female figure named Riri, Fahri felt melted, his heart was filled and pinched to find Riri persisted with all the tests he faced.


"since Mba Riri told me everything" said Fahri to his mother but his gaze was attached to the woman in front of him who was still loyal to bow his head.


"get out of here, let umi talk to Riri" Ms. Ratna did not not not know that since the first time Fahri set foot back in his homeland and at that time Fahri found Riri who was learning to teach, Ms. Ratna could see the twinkle of interest in the look of her son's eyes on Riri, but she tried to tepis, she said, but in the heart of Bu Ratna promised if Riri separated from her husband then she will ask Riri to be her son's companion and become her daughter-in-law.


"can't I stay here Umi, accompany you?" asked Fahri to uminya and this time Fahri's face faced the uminya with a transparent look.


"no!!" Answer his umi firmly and finally Fahri sighed and said.


"remember one thing mba Riri...whatever happens, stay put because I will always wait, excuse me" Fahri said goodbye and away from the two women he admired and loved.


In silence Riri felt his chest warm and tight to hear the statement from Fahri just now, really if time can be repeated, he wants to be able to marry a man who can guide him and lead him to be closer to his religion, but the rice has become porridge and back again that Riri must surrender to the destiny that has been set on him.


"son..pardon the mother's child, for some reason lately he often asked about you, but do not make Fahri become an additional burden again on your problems, son..., I don't want you to be constantly sad" Miss Riri put a soft touch on Riri's head and pulled Riri in her arms.


"indeed, when we sincerely go through all things and receive all the trials with grace, we will find wisdom and also happiness that we never thought of, continue to be prejudiced and always improve yourself yes" the words of encouragement nan soft out of the thin lips of middle-aged woman who was hugging him made sobs Riri became increasingly tight, sobbing, she longs to feel the warm embrace of a mother's love.


being a person who thirsts for love makes Riri used to do anything just to make people happy that he thought could make him happy too, but it did not happen, but it did not happen, to the extent that he was foolishly willing to do anything just to get the attention and affection of Anton who was reciprocated with betrayal.
