Mom, Let Me Be Happy

CHAPTER 24. Karma turmoil

Cloudy clouds filled the evening sky.A tinge of twilight must be willing to be invisible covered in darkness. It was so dark that all the light was like being driven from saujana.

In the room Mariam leaned on Denny's shoulder. Both of them were sitting on the edge of the bed. There was no dialogue between them except for a breath that was mutual.

Shaka was scribbling ink on the Granny's handbook. The tiny hand looked agile writing its own name.creating a dot forming a line, writing letter by letter on the white striped paper.

Denny's mother accidentally gave Shaka a set of stationery. So that Shaka who is now his grandson can all play while studying. Occasionally he looks at the results of Shaka's hand graffiti and then smiles.

"Mas, what was my action against Santana's new wife that was outrageous?" mariam finally opened the conversation. "Are you feeling bad, honey?" Denny turned the question around. "Yes, Mas ... I don't usually do that" replied Mariam.

"No, Mariam! You have the right to express your feelings, sometimes you can also say no to something you don't want, hum" Denny said. "So, according to Mas, my treatment earlier was a natural thing?" mariam said again. "Very reasonable, Mariam ... I don't see anything that goes beyond the upper limit of your treatment."

"Thank you, Mom, I just want to make sure that my heart doesn't turn hard just because of circumstances" Mariam continued. "What the hell, tell me whatever you feel. Say whatever you want to say, I'll be a good listener" Denny said.

Mariam smiled at hearing that. After a long time Mariam finally found another place to pour out all her complaints. Denny grabbed Mariam's hand and kissed her deeply.

The rain was falling very hard. Cold air penetrates the skin penetrates into the body. Denny warms Mariam with his embrace.

A distinctive scented scent was smelled from Denny's body. Makes mariam feel comfortable linger in her arms. Buried her face into the chest of her husband's field.

"Stay like this, Mariam. Never leave let alone disappear from my life again. I'm too weak to be without you over and over again" Denny said.

Denny's warm touch felt so intense rubbing the shoots of Mariam's head. Makes Mariam feel sleepy. However, the adhan maghrib reverberated to make Mariam postpone her desire to sleep and then prepare to pray together with her husband.

***

Santana held a prayer mat on the side of her bed. Things that he had not done for a long time after being separated from Mariam. Somehow everything felt tangled including his worship was messy since he left from Mariam's side.

However, this time his soul was called to bow down again to the Kholiq. Perhaps that is what makes the burden of his life so heavy. The heart from remembering God.

Santana revolves around the title of her alphabet. Ask forgiveness for all his sins. To the extent that his cheeks had been soaked by tears.

"Is this how it feels? The bitterness of life and the sadness that Shaka and Mariam experienced when I left? If so, it's okay God. Just let me feel all the suffering they feel because of me" he whispered softly in the insides of his groaning. Santana did not realize that her lament was creating a sob that Asih could hear.

Asih, who had just finished feeding Dicky, approached Santana because he heard the sound of his stuffing. Of course Asih was curious about Santana who had always looked cold, stiff and very rude again grumpy in her eyes. Now he was crying weakly with tears.

Long enough Asih remained waiting for Santana to finish his stuffing with the position of his hands to look up as a sign of prayer requests. Until the hand went down and Santana went to clean the alphabet. Only Asih ventured to ask....

"Can't he just answer my question with an answer, not with a question back? gerundal Asih's. "Dicky! Put the toys and go to the room, it's getting dark "the Asih commandments. "No way!" dicky's toilet while still dragging his toys.

"Arghhh! Doesn't anyone in this house want to listen to me just once?" upset and then leave Dicky to the room. " All men are the same, not children or adults whose work only hurts women's feelings" Asih's tirade expressed her frustration. Asih's voice is very loud, if at that time the rain is not falling heavily maybe the grunt can be heard by the neighbors.

Asih opened the drawer and took a photo from there. Looked at her portrait with Arifin while still sipping romance honey. "Curtain! Basic male baj*ngan," Asih then tear the photo up to some parts.

"If I hadn't been consumed by your seduction, my life wouldn't be like this now" Asih said with growing anger. He felt empty and empty. How not? As a woman, of course, she needs to be heard and treated gently.

However, what Asih experienced was like a situation that never sided with him. All of that must not be without cause, a selfish attitude and always want to win alone could be the reason that makes him accept the attitude of not wearing from Santana and Dicky.

Asih slammed his body violently into the bed. It is undeniable that sometimes Asih longs for a touch from a man. Because Santana never touched Asih though, despite her long status as Asih's husband, despite forced husband.

I don't know which karma of sin is going through. There are too many mistakes he made. The heart never calms down nor does it feel grateful for its life.

Suddenly Santana came to Asih. Asih is happy and hopes Santana will do her duty as husband. With a smile that they rose and sat welcoming Santana.

"Asih I want to offer you a deal," Santana said, dismissing Asih's originally turbulent desire. "What deal, Mom?" tanya Asih was confused. "The agreement between the two of us," Santana replied full of mystery.

"I-I still don't understand, " said Asih. "I want you to tell me the truth, what happened between us to Mariam" Santana said. Hearing the name made Asih lost his taste.

"No want! I'm not willing to do it" Asih said, rejecting Santana's request. "Alright, I won't force you but, forever your life will be like this. Like useless trash," Santana said with emphasis.

Asih closed her eyes and let out a rough breath hearing Santana's words. Something felt so painful inside his chest. However, Asih remained in his stance not to say any facts about the marriage that forced Santana to let go of her family.

Seriate....
