My Husband's Secret

134. Resigned to circumstances

Adit knocked on the door three times, then opened the door quietly. He was afraid to interrupt his papa's rest. However, the wrong estimate. Papa Dimas has woken up and is talking to Aunt Nova. The two turned to the door when they heard a knock.

Adit and Riri walk into Papa Dimas' inpatient room.

"The new bride is coming, nih!" aunt Nova exclaimed with a smile towards her nephew.

"We came to see Papa, Aunt, before going to the reception" said Adit, who then walked to his father's bed. He also took Riri's hand.

"The new bride is always tacky, not to be separated," teased Aunt Nova, who was not responded to Adit, while Riri had lowered her head in shame.

"Here, don't mind Auntie's babble. He likes it that way."

"Om, how are you? Sorry I just found out that Om is sick," said Riri slowly.

"Why still call Om? You'll already be Adit's wife, should call Papa, dong," said Papa Dimas made Riri scratch the head of the back, which is not itchy.

He felt awkward about the new call. It was true that it should be so, but there was an awkward feeling when calling out to him. Riri will try it little by little, surely long ago also used to it.

"Slow down, Pa. Do not be forced, later the children of people run away," said Adit who got a pinch from the wife. “Aduh, Darling, sick.”

Adit rubbed the former pinch of the wife. He just wanted to tease the woman, but instead got a very spicy pinch. Aunt Nova who saw him could only laugh. He was happy to see his nephew who looked so happy.

Now her brother can be calmer because there is someone who takes care of Adit. Papa Dimas doesn't have to worry about his son anymore. The woman was sure that Riri could definitely be a good wife to her nephew.

"How was your wedding? It must be a bit of a deg-degan, huh? I'm sorry Papa couldn't come there, but Papa just saw through Martin's video call connection. I hope you two are always happy and protect each other. Once again Papa apologizes," said Papa Dimas who felt guilty.

"It's okay, Pa. What matters now is that Papa should be fine," said Riri, who did not want to make her in-laws even more thoughtful. The most important thing now is Papa Dimas' health, about which the others are not important. Including the reception party later.

"Pa, would it not be better if the reception party is canceled. I'm worried about Papa's situation" said Riri, who asked his father-in-law for an opinion.

"Don't do that, Adit has prepared everything from a long time ago. Papa also expects the party, if you cancel it just like that, then Adit's efforts and Papa's wishes will be in vain. Although Papa cannot be there, but Papa's prayer is always for you so, you just continue this feast. Regarding Papa's situation, there is a doctor who has handled everything. Papa's gonna be okay."

"From now on, Papa's son-in-law is very worried about Papa's situation so, Papa must be completely healed. Later after Papa is completely healed, we make a meal with the family, in exchange for Papa can not come to our party," said Adit.

"As for you, Papa can only follow."

"Tante is sorry for you both. Aunty can not come there because she has to wait for this old man here," said Aunt Nova who deliberately wanted to tease Papa Dimas

"Yes, Auntie, we got it. It is precisely we who thank Aunt for waiting for Papa here" said Riri.

"Yes, Aunt. We are very grateful to Auntie. Aunty knows how stubborn Papa if Aunt lives, there will be something asked from the doctor. Ask to go home, ask for the medicine do not be big," said Adit who made aunt Nova and Riri laugh, while Papa Dimas just rolled his eyes lazy.

It seems like the family does like to bully him, when he is sick.

Adit and Riri chat for a while, before the two leave the hospital, heading to the building where they are having a reception. There are still a few hours to get to know each other.

"How, Ma? Is Maysa coming?" ask Rafka to her mother. He waited for the woman to send a message to Maysa.

"He still hasn't answered, he said he would ask Eira first. I didn't know if the boy would come or not. Maysa doesn't promise to come" replied Mama Ishana, making Rafka sigh.

Looks like it will be hard to ask Maysa to bring her daughter back. Remembering the last meeting that made that woman hurt. However, it is not the desire of Rafka. Only Tantenya who really likes to interfere with the affairs of others.

"Do you think Maysa will come along with Eira?” mama Ishana asked as she looked at her son.

"I don't know either, Ma. I can't guess what they're thinking. There's been too many wounds I've given them."

Mama Ishana thought for a moment then asked, after recalling Maysa's words. "Mom wondered one thing. What exactly made Eira refuse to stay here? Before that, he had a great time living here. Is there something you've been hiding from your mom? What happened to traumatize Eira like you?"

The middle-aged woman was curious as to what had happened to her child and granddaughter. He was sure it wasn't something simple. Eira is not a grudge-wearing person if it is, not something big. This time Mama Ishana has to get an answer so that everything is clear and can make a decision.

"Rafka," called Mama Isyana again because her son did not answer.

"It's actually also my fault. It was a holiday for Eira. I promised to take her on vacation, but it ended up being canceled."

Rafka also told me all what happened at that time, without covering up a bit. The man doesn't want any trouble later, if he's lying. Mama could have blamed Maysa because she'd put together a lie. Better to be honest like this even if he is to blame.

"Astagfireullah! Why are you so willing to hit a kid as small as Eira! Maysa should be so angry that your daughter is hurting and you are Rafka, she is your daughter, how could you be like that, just because you want to make your son happy. Both of them are your children, but you can't be fair."

Mama Ishana shook her head. It takes a lot of patience to face Rafka. He is not out of thought with the attitude of Rafka who is somehow down from whom. He and his wife never did anything rude, especially to the children.

"I have also reprimanded Vida, but Mama knows for herself how she behaves" said Rafka who wanted to defend herself.

"That's because you're less assertive as a man and a household leader. You should be able to control your wife, not to hurt your daughter. Now a time like this, who do you expect? Your wife or your now deceased son?”

“Ma.”

Although she knew that Eira was not wrong, but her son knew nothing. Children should not be involved in the affairs of adults. Especially now that the child is dead is not good to talk about anymore. His son was calm in nature

"What's? Wh why? You don't like it? My mom just said that, You're angry. What about Maysa who saw her daughter hurt? You should think about it" said Mama Ishana who was very emotional to hear the story from Rafka.

The middle-aged woman chose to enter her room. He was very angry at the son. Rather than later here himself making trouble, it was better to go inside the room. Especially considering that now in this house, there was also a person who had already hurt his grandson.

I longed for Raisana to beat him. However, he was unlikely to do so, at a time when the house was still in a state of mourning. In the past, no one liked Vida's presence. The family was also opposed, but for the common good, she was forced to give her blessing.

Meanwhile, Rafka can only look at the departure of her mother. He knew he was wrong, but how else had it all happened and time could not be repeated. Now the man can only rely on the situation, hopefully everything can be okay again.
