Mr. Ustadz I Love You

Former In-laws

The handsome man stood at the door squeezing his sweaty fingers. The sweat had just flowed without excuse, even though the day was quite cloudy. He raised his hand to knock on the door of the house. But, again his hand was lowered, the fourth time the man raised and lowered his hand.

Feelings of doubt, anxiety and was was fidgeting. Ah it feels terrible, like just meeting a grim reaper. Though from last night Rafan thought about how and what to do and he said when facing his in-laws. Er Er Eralat, the former in-law means.

Come on Rafan knock on the door. Why are you scared like this. Talk about everything well, father-in-law won't scold you.

Come on, just knock on the door. Are you nervous about meeting your ex-wife or afraid of meeting your in-laws ? Don't be stupid this is all because of your wife.

Whispers like angels and demons filled Rafan's hearing. The tall man shook his head to drive away the useless whispers.

"Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam." a voice came from inside the house. The door opened, and there Budi smiled at Rafan. The smile that made Rafan even hotter was cold.

"Oh my goodness, Rafan to, let's go in here." take Budi.

"Eh, yes sir thank you."

"Mother ! Mother ! mother-in-law is coming !" exclaim Budi.

Rafan is already sitting in the living room together with Budi and Nisa. Rafan like not breathing, his chest just kembis very slowly. How not ? his former father-in-law was looking at him with a hostile look.

"Now honestly answer Rafan, What happened to you, why Ara is not with you ! and where is my son !" sentak Budi's.

Rafan is getting shaky. She didn't think Ara wasn't going back to her parents' house, and then where Ara was going.

"Rephew answered me !!" snarl more loudly.

"Father be patient, don't get angry first." Nisa held Budi's hand that was already firmly clenched.

Rafan exhales slowly, gathering energy to face his in-laws. " Me and Ara are divorced sir." she said slowly, but it could still be heard by Budi and Nisa.

"What ! You are divorced ! Why don't you tell us why you're divorced !" Budi's tone is getting higher. Nisa herself was stunned to not believe the words of her daughter-in-law.

Budi and Nisa's heart is further broken as if in disbelief after knowing that Ara is barren coupled with a photo shown by Rafan. Where Ara was alone with a man who was not his muhrim.

After Budi's anger subsided, Rafan said goodbye to go home and sent Nisa to the door.

"Rafan came home ma'am." said Rafan while kissing the back of Nisa's hand. There was no reply, Nisa just nodded small while having a small hiccup.

Rafan actually did not have the heart to see women cry, especially Nisa who he considered as his parents. But, how else, it all happened.

Rafan steps away from Ara's house, his footsteps halting as Nisa calls out to him.

"Son Rafan's mother apologizes for what Ara did. I know it's inappropriate. But, you should also know that it was your mother who gave birth to Ara and raised her. So I know how Ara is. It is impossible for Ara to do such a thing, not for her to defend Ara. It's good before making a decision Nak Rafan can investigate all the truths first."

Duarr

Bak in a bolt of lightning broad daylight, Rafan like kecolongan. Why didn't he think to investigate the truth, why didn't he listen to Ara's explanation first. He cursed his own stupidity.

"Ah, I'm sorry you talk too much." Nisa wiped her tears and smiled bitterly at Rafan. "Oh yes, I forgot. I know Nak Rafan must be sad if he can't have children. But believe me, the woman who cannot have children, her heart hurts more and is disappointed because she failed to become a whole woman. Greetings to your Papa Mama." continued Nisa, then entered and closed the door.

Letting Rafan who was standing still, pervading every word Nisa said.

The woman who cannot have children, her heart hurts more and is disappointed because she failed to become a whole woman.

The words are constantly ringing in Rafan's memory. He rubbed his face rough, cursing his stupidity again.

"Armghh !!" Rafan slammed his phone into his bed. "Stupid rafan ! why don't you think you got there huh ! Why are you so stupid, Rafan."

Rafan ruffles his hair, angry with his too stupid self. His breath hunts, his tears trickling for the second time Rafan weeps over his decision to divorce Ara.
