Mystery of a Mate (Widow But Virgin )

Season 2 Yasir and Rili appear

POV Rivals

Four months have Mely disappeared like swallowed by the earth. I have made every effort to find him. But all my efforts have been fruitless.

Since his departure from my life, I can only regret it. Curse my stupidity. Crying wails every night if I miss his silly behavior. I made the same mistake again, so the person who meant so much in my life left me.

Mama and Mama Maryam until now did not know that before I went to town S. I had a chance to argue with him. I'm ashamed to say it. So, they concluded that Mely's departure was due to the blurred nature of the recurrence.

Tonight I'm back to sleepless, I miss my wife, my kids so much. How are they doing? was my son born?

Imagining her giving birth without me by her side, made my heart break even more. Why suffering never ends in the course of my life.

Why...? my tears broke again in the middle of the silent night. After I perform tahajud prayers. I ask God for forgiveness and health for Mely my wife and children whom I do not know exist. I don't want my children to feel the pain I felt as a child.

Mely..... Where are you....?

Dert..dert.... My phone rings over the nightstand. I was too lazy to lift it. But who's calling these nights. Surely that's a very important call.

I got up from my seat, without folding. I walked quickly to the nightstand where my phone lay. It turned out that Mama Maryam was the one who called.

By trying to stabilize my fast-beating heart. I took that call. There must be bad news to be delivered by Mama.

"Son Rival, hurry to the Hospital. Dad's dying, he's calling your name." Mama Maryam's words made me even more afraid and sad. I immediately turned off the call from Mama. Change my clothes quickly, running towards the garage.

This whole day I was in the hospital with him, Dad's been looking better. He even asked to buy his favorite food, the banana compote. Only then did I leave him for an hour, his condition was already as apprehensive as it is now.

Arriving in my room in the care. I walked over to Dad and hugged him. I look like I'm dying tonight. It's been two months that I've been hospitalized. At first the stroke was mild and finally the doctor said Dad had heart and lung complications and this morning, the doctor said Dad's kidney was also problematic. So this afternoon I had to do a blood wash.

"Dad, Dad. It's Me Dad. It's I'm Rival." I said with tears in my eyes, it seems like Dad can't focus anymore. Dad looked at me with tears and smiled.

Seeing the signs that Dad will be sacred to death. I guided Dad through it. I led Dad's head to the qibla and I whispered the shahada in Dad's ear gently. laa ilaaha illallah. He went back to Rahmatullah with a smile.

Mama's cry echoed in the room. While the nurse who happened to be in the room to say sorry, Inalillahi Wainailaihi Rojiun.

With tears I rubbed Dad's face that looked shady. Mama Maryam Directly hugged Dad's body tightly, She gave him many kisses on Dad's face and unceasingly cried.

"Don't leave me my husband... Why did you two leave me alone in this world. Mely.... Where are you, baby? Dad's gone forever. Mely... Why did you disappear. What is your mother's fault? so you go and don't come back." The words of Mama who roared with tears that broke, made me not take it anymore. I also cried and vented my frustration by punching the wall of the room.

My hands are bleeding, the nurses in the room are trying to stop the behavior. Yeah, I seem to be crazy. I can go crazy, because I continue to regret my attitude, which was wrong to take action.

The man who loved me so sincerely left me, he disappeared. Dad's gone for good. What good is it that I live in this world. What is this much treasure for?

"Sir, there's still a lot to take care of. Please cooperate." Say a gentle nurse. He won me that lost control.

Dad's body was taken to Dad's house. Many of Dad's business associates who come to worship from dawn to the time when Dad will be buried, after Dzuhur prayer.

I saw Yasir and Rili approaching me who was still sitting close to the right of Father's corpse which had been memorized and would be ready to be sholatan.

"Propay the Bang." Yasir hugged me. After that Rili also approached and shook my hand. She also said the words as her husband said.

Looking at them, my chest just became more and more congested. The tightness and pain I felt was not from jealousy of seeing those who seemed compatible. But, I remember my wife Mely. Is he still in this world? where else would I look.

The sadness and suffering I feel now, it feels so complex. My father and wife left me.

I sat in a pitiful, stupid seat near Dad's body. I feel like I have no spirit anymore. But, I must rise. There's still Mama Maryam I have to take care of.

After the chicken was buried, three nights in a row, held tahlilan in his big house Dad. Many of Dad's business partners still come and participate in the event. Even Yasir and Rili also participated every night in the tahlilan event.

Until the fourth day after my father's death. Yasir and Rili came to meet. I was lamenting my fate in Dad's study. Targeted by Bi Ina who patted my back. Yeah, I didn't realize I was asleep on Dad's desk. After performing the Dzuhur prayer.

"Young master, there's a guest ahead." Gentle Bi Ina speech. It was so bad to see that guest. Because I just fell asleep. But, there's no way I'm kicking them out.

Lazily, I went into the bathroom that was in Dad's study. After I felt my face was clean and fresh. I go downstairs, covering the guests who come. My appearance is still like someone finished praying. That is wearing gray Koko clothes and wearing sarongs.

Apparently Mama Maryam, already accompanied the guest first. The others are Yasir and Rili.

"Ooohh Yasir and Rili. Sorry for waiting so long." I said trying to be calm. I also sat in front of them. I wonder why this couple seems so concerned about me. Even they during the tahlilan come continue to follow the show and today for what they come again.

"Because Nak Rival has arrived. Auntie get in the room first!" mama Maryam said quietly, holding her head. Looks like Mama Maryam's head is sick.

"Tante, if you can Auntie should be here too. There's something important we want to say." Rili said politely with a little hesitation. It was clearly visible from his body language sitting on the sofa unsettled.

"Oohh Yes, okay. What's that important thing?" mama Maryam asked, looking at the couple in front of her. Then he turned to look at me sitting next to him.

"Actually this way, sorry if I was a little presumptuous." Said Rili, He paused his words. As if he was gathering his courage to speak.

"Where is Brother's wife? why haven't I seen him since the day Mr. Ali was buried to this day?" yasir continued the sentence that Rili did not say. I'm sure Yasir knows something about Mely.

Degs..

Hearing Yasir's words, my heart immediately hurt, my chest felt tight. How I'm gonna tell you my wife's missing.

"What was your purpose in coming here, just to find gossip about my household?" ask me with a negative tone. I felt that the couple next to me was too involved.

"Sorry Bang Rival, Auntie. We came here, there was no intention to interfere in Abang Rival's domestic affairs. But, those of us who already thought that Brother was a brother, felt a little astonished and wondered. Why from the day of misfortune until now I have not seen his wife Brother." Yasir said calmly. Looking at me and Mama Maryam. Yes, Yasir asked a lot, because he had met Mely at our wedding reception in Australia. Rili definitely doesn't know Mely.

I was quiet as was Mama Maryam. What does it mean that Yasir asked that. He wants to take away the pain I feel. It's not that news of Mely's disappearance has been spread in the media. Are Yasir and Rili unaware of my wife's disappearance?

Yeah, they don't seem to know.

"A week ago, when we were traveling from the city of S to the city of M. By land route. I saw a woman very similar to his wife Brother in Parapat Lake Toba. At that time we were resting in one of the restaurants. The woman who looked like his wife, brother, was pregnant. He was carrying something and went into the restaurant and walked back to the kitchen of the restaurant." Yasir's words surprised me, and I was anxious.

"But because of his appearance that looks shabby and unkempt, so I feel it's not his wife Brother. By the time we meet in Australia your wife is very fashionable, beautiful and young." Yasir said, He glanced at his wife next to him.

I rushed straight from my seat, without answering Yasir's words. I'm sure it's Mely. I went into the room, got my wallet and car keys.

I ran back to the garage ignoring Yasir, Rili and Mama who were still sitting on the living room sofa.

I drove my car at high speed towards Lake Toba. If there is no obstacle, it will take a trip from the city of M to Lake Toba for four hours.

Throughout the journey my heart was not calm. I haven't even had time to change my clothes. And stupidly I didn't ask for details of the location where Yasir saw Mely My wife.
