My wife Lely

Mutual Forgiveness

Ipul and lely looked at each other. lely nodded his head. Ipul leads lely to the table where the mother talks with the parents mey.

"Mommy wants to know the truth, how can you marry first without any news on mey.

Ipul took his breath.His hand was still holding lely's hand.

"Mom yesterday I told you that I broke up with Mey before I got married.

Did you ask mey?". said ipul looking at mey's mother.

"Mey's not home.

"Have you asked Mey's father?.Did you explain why mey and I broke up?!

But it's no use anymore because I'm married, and I love my wife.". said ipul looked at his father mey. while holding lely's hand.

Mey's father looked at the ipul who was looking at her and took a slow breath.

"It's between you and mey. why should you answer.

"But I know why ma'am. I just followed his wishes. And that I did.

And about me being married, there is no connection with mey. because mey and I had broken up before I received an arranged marriage from my parents.

"But mey never talked about you breaking up, not even mey talked about you guys having problems!". her mother answered mey.

"Maybe I have not had the story yet, and that can be asked to mey later.

"Are you cheating on mey, so you got married without mey's knowledge.

"Mother.!". sangah mey's father.

"I told you, I received an arranged marriage after breaking up from Mey. Even I knew that I was getting married, and my wife had nothing to do when I broke up with mey. Because we had never met.

"Even before I broke up, I told me that we couldn't be together, because we were different, like my dad told me and my parents.

That's why I accepted when my mother set me up with her friend's child. Because I don't want mey to drag on waiting for me, I've decided mey and mey don't accept.

Mother and lely just heard it. the mother was also blamed by her mother mey, who said making a bet on ipul while still dating mey.

lely was silent, not knowing the problem. Ipul continues to grip the fingers lely. it is clearly visible by parents meydina.

"I just want clarity. I...".

"Mom asked me directly". cut off the ipul while pointing at his father mey.

Mey's father looked at the ipul who was looking at her, then took a slow breath and took it off violently.

"I know, maybe my actions were wrong. I don't know, this is how it will be. Sorry to make you and your family uncomfortable.

"What did you say.why apologize?!". asked Bet astonished at her husband.

"Mom.we talk at home.we'll find mey first.

"Mom wants to know the truth well.mother does not want a misunderstanding.and mother wants an answer now.

Meydina's father was silent, not answering his wife's questions.

"Jawab yah. what exactly happened". asked mey's mother.

"Mom, you better talk at home". said mey's father finally, after a moment of silence.

"It's better so ma'am, better talk to mey. Let there be no more misunderstandings.and hopefully ibi and mey iklas. because I already have a wife. who I love very much". said ipul while embracing lely.

"Mother wants father to answer near ipul, because he wants to know from both sides.and there is no secret or talk anymore.

Mey's father took a slow breath and exhaled slowly.

"Mom at that time I just want to motivate ipul to find a job that is more promising than working in a workshop. Dad just felt ipul work that only mechanics at the dealer could not be relied upon to house.

Therefore, I told ipul that ipul is not suitable to be a son-in-law if only a worker in the workshop. and...".

"Dad.....!, so it all started with dad!!. dad who made.., ah, I didn't think, you were narrow-minded and small-minded. judge and degrade one's work!!..". my mother shouted mey standing up, glaring at her husband.

"Dad's sorry". said mey's father.

"Dad.. mother did not expect. turned out to be a bad father". said mother mey crying.

"I'm sorry.I'm also sorry to ipul, and also to Rahma. for coming to your shop at that time was not good.

All was silent, only the sound of mother mey's slow crying could be heard.

"I'm sorry". murmured mey's father again.

"We have forgiven him.I also apologize, because at that time scolded you, because you were very condescending to my son.but I have forgiven you.

"We are the ones who should apologize.I do not know the problem, even I scolded ipul and blamed the evil ipul on mey.

I'm ashamed, because I misunderstood his wife and brother.

"I have forgiven my mother, father and mey. also forgive my attitude all this time.for ever disappointing you".icap ipul.

"Thank you pul. I mendo'a right may you be a family sekinah mawaddah warohmah.

I'm sorry, also to your wife pul. what's your wife's name pul?!". asked mey's mother.

"Aamiin. My wife's name is Lely ma'am". replied ipul.

"Lely. forgive mom, who was wrong with you. I'm really sorry.

"Sama-sama ma'am, I'm sorry too". lely replied.

"Hopefully with the incident of yesterday being our brotherhood is not quiet.and the relationship remains intertwined.

"Aamiin....."

"Send our greetings and apologies to mey. I hope sincere, and hopefully mey get a mate soon". said mother-in-law to irang tua mey.

"Aamiin.hopefully.thank you rahma". said mey's father.

Once the misunderstanding is resolved, everyone forgives and understands each other.

Azaan ashar was heard in the mosque, my parents asked for permission to go home.

"Mother, mother pray ashar first, let me take care of the stall before Sani comes.

Ordinary Sani came to replace the mother for ashar prayer.because after the ashar prayer the mother will make gulai for vegetable lontong sale tomorrow. As for the soup was already boiled earlier, and after a bit tender will be boiled with a small fire for two hours more with herbs and spices.

Mother's soup sales used to make meat soup and occasionally make oxtail soup.
