Merapi Never Ingkar Janji 2 (The Return of the Sultan)

SS. 91. Mama Ratri's anger

Kwm ... !

Mama Ratri's emotions were unstoppable again. His fist landed on a dining table in front of him. Hanifa was still calm, after putting her daughter to sleep.

Slowly he closed Regina's room. Hope her little daughter doesn't hear the commotion that's gonna happen any minute.

Her footsteps were shaken, approaching Mama Ratri. Perhaps, right now he should be quiet and listening a lot. There was nothing more he needed to explain. Everything was clear and he had already explained by the time they had gathered at the Alfatih residence just a moment ago.

"Mama doesn't think of Ifa." Said restrained. As if something was in his heart.

Mama Ratri deliberately restrained her anger, since on the way home from the Kamandanu residence. All that, she did, because there was Regina among them.

"Still lucky, the Alfatih you approached. Try if it's not Al ... " Continue stopping. Mama Ratri's cry broke out, there was a feeling of disappointment and sadness there.

"Ma, I'm sorry Ifa Ma." Lirih. The tears that come out indicate a deep regret.

Mama Ratri could only shake her head, not expecting her daughter to do such a shameful thing.

"Shameful, for the sake of a reputation you put aside Hanifa's self-esteem !" Maki Mama Ratri.

"But, Ifa had no intention of harming their household. Ifa just_"

"Enough, Mama doesn't want to hear any of your excuses !" His impact.

I don't know what defense Hanifa's gonna say. But all that he paused, because Mama Ratri first cut his words.

"Who and what makes you like this, son. Mama's ashamed, ashamed of Kamandanu's family." This time Mama Ratri's voice eased a little.

"I'm sorry Ifa Ma." It was just an apology he dared to say.

"Remember Ifa, your current status is a widow. What would people say if they knew something like that you did." Sesal Mama Ratri's.

Hanifa could only duck while draining her tears.

"They will sneer at you as a woman who is thirsty for male caresses, seductive husbands, or matre women who are seductive because of economic turmoil. You want to be said like that !" Shake up Mama again.

Mom's voice sounded tight. His eyes were teary, looking sharply at his daughter. As for the one being scolded, it still stayed down, shaking its head. Sometimes she had tears running down her cheeks.

"If Ma promises, Ifa won't repeat it." Sluggishly.

"Mom doesn't need an Ifa appointment, Mama just wants the old Ifa Mama again."

The last words he spoke had a great meaning. Slowly but surely Mama Ratri left Hanifa who was still sitting contemplating her actions.

'Why don't I think a thousand times before obeying Mr. Anton's orders.' Sorry in the heart.

'What exactly are you looking for Ifa, how stupid are you right now, not to mention the shame you have to bear if one day you meet the Alfatih family.' The meaning in the heart.

The night was getting late, Hanifa's cries were still unstoppable, there was a sense of regret that she could no longer express.

It wasn't just Hanifa who couldn't close her eyes tonight. Mama Tatri was also awake. His thoughts were chaotic at this moment, recalling what happened after dinner at Alfatih's house.

How shameful he must have to see the reality that his daughter did.

"Sorry Jeng Ratri, I gathered in this place, not to humiliate the Jeng Ratri family, but I just want to straighten things out. Especially for the sake of the wholeness of my son's household." Said Mother Arum at that time.

It is true, in order to maintain the good name of the Hanifa family, the meeting was held after the dinner at her house, in a closed room and only attended by the nuclear family and personal assistant Alfatih only.

Recorded back the bitter memory that Mama Ratri had experienced a few years ago, before Hanifa was born.

*Flashback On

Pask ... !

"Although sir, everything is out of Ratri's control, Ratri also does not want this to happen." Please beg for mercy.

"Shameful, want to be put where the face of the Father, you who have been proud of you, could be tarnishing the good name of the family." He shouted at length.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ratri." The request once again.

"Other thing you can do besides flirting with people's husbands !" Snap him furious.

"Mr, enough sir." This time, Ratri's mother spoke.

"But everything happened wasn't just Ratri Pak's fault." Ratri defended himself.

"Still refuting, if you don't act, is it possible that all this happened !"

"But Ratri_"

Pask ... !

"Already Sir, already. Don't hurt Ratri again, it's all already happened." The instinct of a mother who could not bear to see her daughter in pain.

"Mom, I'm sorry Ratri Bu. Ratri will bear it himself." Sluggishly.

"No Nduk, you're Mother's son, you're part of this family. Whatever happens we finish together, we take responsibility together." Mother said soothing.

"Father does not want to know, if until the man does not want to be responsible, there are only two options for you. Drop that shit or you get out of this house." Angry bluff.

A sentence that hurts more than a slap.

Since that incident, Mama Ratri chose to leave her hometown and settle in this student city. With a mother's sincerity, she gave birth to and raised Hanifa alone.

Without a husband. In fact, until before Hanifa gave up her bachelorhood, Hanifa never asked who and where her father was.

*Flashback Off

Sayup-sayup still heard the sound of her crying, between the sunyinya of the night.

"Ifa, I'm sorry Mama Nak. Mama knows you're not that kind of woman. But Mama must make it clear, so that you know and there will be no more events like thirty-five years ago." Mama Ratri said softly, almost inaudible.

If Alfatih had not been born into a respectable family, perhaps the events of the past would have happened to his daughter. Fortunately, Al still had the faith and sincerity of a husband who was loyal to his wife.

***

"Ma." Sapa Hanifa while meeting Mama Ratri at the dinner table.

"Hhhhhhh." Answer him reluctantly.

The awkward atmosphere was still visible on the two.

"Ifa has decided, today Ifa will withdraw from the company." Lirih.

Mama Ratri put down the spoon that was ready to eat.

"Mama won't stand in the way of your career. But Mama just wants you to be careful in your actions. Don't justify any means to an end." His advice was firm.

"If you understand Ma, Ifa is wrong. Ifa will be responsible, Ifa will withdraw from the project Mr. Anton gave. But if it requires Ifa to resign, Ifa will." Answers reassured.

"If it's the last thing you think is good, do it. Mama won't get in the way. All the good or bad things for you, only you know." Continue her.

"Yes Ma."

"Remember Ifa, Mama's income in the store, is still enough to support Regina's living and school expenses." Said Mama Ratri.

Mama Ratri's perseverance and hard work, actually declined to Hanifa. Since separating from his extended family, he has worked hard to earn a living for the necessities of life.

Starting from selling clothes around until finally now has its own fashion store and can hire some employees in the store. However, I don't know what makes Hanifa have to make one mistake, so it almost embarrasses the family.

"Ifa understands Ma, then Ifa left first Ma." Pamphitt.

"You didn't finish your breakfast ?"

"Ifa's full of Ma."

"Gina, Mama's leaving first, son."

"Mama leaves early in the morning ?"

Whoever the person is will definitely feel the same restlessness as Hanifa felt. Eating is not good, even the activity feels uncomfortable.

'I'm sorry Mama Nak, Mama is sure you are strong to face all this.' It flows in the heart.

"Oma, Gina is ready." Regina's spoiled voice broke the atmosphere.

"Okay, we're leaving."

Whatever parents are experiencing, do not affect the good times of children.
