My Second Marriage

Beloved Mama's Home

Saturday afternoon Nia and Ronald returned home after staying overnight at Mama Sri's house. All the way home, Nia was silent in the car. Ronald occasionally hummed a little following the song played from his radio. Realizing Nia's silence, Ronald asks what happened.

"Dear you why? You just shut up. Not feeling well?" ronald asked attentively. But Nia who was asked just shook her head without saying anything. It makes Ronald wonder what happened.

"It doesn't hurt, but just shut up? come dong story what's up. I'm so worried" Ronald pulled his car over in front of a park. "Let's tell you what's going on? if there is a story problem, do not just hide it. We promised we'd solve the problem together" Ronald took Nia's hand and grabbed it.

"I'm okay, Mas. Here I am a big smile" Nia hid her turmoil with her smile. Nia did not want Ronald to know her chest tightness with the words and attitude of Mama Sri towards him. After all Mama Sri is Ronald's birth mother. As a child He will definitely defend his mother who gave birth to him, not a woman he only knew for a few months like Nia.

Ronald took a deep breath and exhaled. He then released his hand to Nia. With a disappointed look, he said, "You've been quiet like this since this morning we ate together. Are you angry at what Mama said?" Nia was silent and did not answer. "I think what Mama wants is normal. Mom just wants to have a grandchild soon. Just take the positivity. Means our efforts are less, well later you finish our mens business again, yes...."

"I also want to have children as soon as possible. We've only been married for a month, it's still a bit of a fuss to ask like that. Maybe God doesn't love us yet, what can I do?" Nia also shed her tears. Her crying finally broke unstoppable.

"Cup.cup...don't cry dear. Already...already...don't think too much. We haven't had a honeymoon yet, have we? I've...cup..cup...cup..." Ronald's soft words strengthened Nia's heart again. Ronald wiped his wife's tears.

Nia finally stopped crying. His heartache is slightly reduced. Ronald hugged her. Nia felt very comfortable in the arms of her husband who always protected her.

"I'm sorry Mas is like a child" Nia said after her tears were no longer flowing.

"Sst. You're not wrong, baby. Yes, I was thinking yes. Later you will be stressed and sick. Let's go" Nia nodded in agreement. After being calm, Ronald returned his car to their home.

*****

Nia and Ronald return to their usual routine. In the morning prepare breakfast and then leave together to the office. In the afternoon wait to invite Ronald to go home to work together. And at night they ate together. Without feeling it was Friday.

This week's schedule is to stay at Mama and Papa's house. Nia was already excited 45 waiting for the arrival of Ronald to pick him up after work. They went straight to Mama's house.

The journey home was not felt by Nia, because she missed very much with her parents. Since getting married almost a month ago Nia has not come home again. But his communication with Mama and Papa never broke up. Nia and Mama love the phone calls to get rid of their kangen.

As usual, Nia asked Ronald to pull over his car because he would buy food for both parents. Nia ordered a grilled chicken Mama likes to eat together. After the roasted chicken matured they continued their journey and reached Mama's house around 8 p.m. It turns out that the streets are not too jammed, maybe God also approved his arrival at home rather than to his in-laws' house. Haha..

Nia laughed in her heart.

When Ronald's car arrived in front of the house, Mama immediately greeted him at the door. Nia got out of the car and immediately hugged her beloved mother.

"Yes Mama is also kangen... Come on in" take Mama.

Inside there is Papa who is still fun watching football matches.

"Who's up against Pa?" Ronald kissed Papa's hand. "Persion against Persib"

"What a thrill"

"It was 1-0. Come watch Papa."

And the two men were immediately engrossed in watching the ball. Nia went into the kitchen and served the grilled chicken she was carrying.

"Ma, Nia brought Mama's favorite grilled chicken"

"Ashik. Let's go make dinner. You must be hungry, right?"

"Or just this Mama" The two children's mothers then prepared dishes, side dishes, rice and cutlery. Not forgetting the white water. Mom called Papa, Ronald and Nesia to eat together.

*****

"Why does it feel to be married?" ask Mama during the confiding session in your room. Just Nia and Mama. Nesia was busy with her college assignments so just went out of the room at dinner and then entered the room again.

Nia immediately changed the look on her face. Who was cheerful at first then remembered again about the speech and treatment of her in-laws. She could never lie to Mom.

"What's wrong? How is diem? Is there a problem, huh? Let's tell the same story Mama" Nia then fell asleep on the thigh Mama and Mama immediately stroked her son's hair gently.

Tell Nia about the incident last week while she was staying. About Mama Sri's attitude and Mama Sri's words which she said hurt. Mama is also actually kind of emotional her son is treated that way with his besi. But emotions do not solve the problem. He listened to the story of the child carefully and as a mother, He must advise her wisely so that her child is more mature and ready to face the rigors of the world.

"Dear nia, now Nia's married. Every household has many trials. Some are tested by not having children, some do not get along with their in-laws, who are tested with property and some are cheating partners. Live patiently, take your promises when married first, together in joy and sorrow. All trials must have something beautiful hidden in them. Everything is God's plan. When you are doomed you will wonder "God why is he cruel to me" but rest assured that one day you will give thanks for the events and calamities that have befallen you today. Stay patient, son" Mama's message at length.

Nia felt that Mama's message this time felt very different. Either it's just a coincidence or it's a hunch. What is clear thanks to the advice of Mama now Nia is more patient and promises to be more mature. Hugged again my dear mother. Comfortably.....
