Mystery of a Mate (Widow But Virgin )

Lying to make me happy

"Ma, Rili won't continue this matchmaking. Rili is not ready. Rili's just broken heart ma." He said slowly, holding his mother's thigh. Rili was afraid that his conversation with his mother was heard by Rival. Rili just wanted her mother to tell Rival her decision.

"Just because you're heartbroken, you should look for it instead. You have to open your heart to another man. Don't expect that rich guy anymore, son." Mama Rili said by looking fixed on her daughter's face while removing the tears that fell on Rili's white cheeks.

Rili grabbed the hand of her mother who tried to remove the liquid that fell on her cheek, then she clasped her mother's hand. "Ma, Rili doesn't expect Brother Yasir anymore, but Rili isn't ready to get married this soon." Rili said by trying to convince his mother.

Rili now changed her body position by leaning on the head of her bed and her legs were in a state of flail.

"Until when you close your heart, son, remember age. Usually if the woman is 30 years old, not married. Then, his soul mate will get further away." Mama Rili.

"If that is my destiny, then I cannot refuse. If at the age of 40 my soul mate comes, it's okay. I will live my life." Said Rili with a flat facial expression, his eyes looking straight ahead, staring with nothingness.

"Try first son, as time goes by and often you are guilty of Rival. So, I'm sure that love will grow, son." Mama Rili said while trying to reach her daughter's chin. Mama Rili tried to persuade her daughter.

"Married cannot try ma, what if we are not suitable and both suffer." Said Rili while crying softly. Really Rili did not end up thinking with the thought of his mother.

"Mama sure, Rival can make you happy, mama sure you will fall in love with him. It's mama's hunch, son." Said Mama Rili while grabbing her daughter's right hand and grasping it.

"Where does your confidence come from? we don't know his family yet. And then he stayed away from us. The distance where we live with Abang Rival is far separated by two districts. Does he want to stay here after marriage?" asked Rili in a row and filled with tears.

Mama Rili was silent for a moment, the woman who had white hair, digested the words her daughter said

"The teaching of our religion and custom, a married woman, will follow wherever her husband takes her." Mama Rili.

"I don't want you to be far from Mom and Dad. If I have to get married, I want to stay in this city. Although not one roof with Dad and mom." Said Rili and shook his mother's arm.

"If Rival wants to emigrate and live here, do you want to marry him?" ask mama Rili.

Rili who got such a question from her mother, even made the woman confused. "I don't want to marry her ma." He said while crying and laying his body back, then turned his back to his mother. He cried and took a pillow to hold her.

"Udah don't cry anymore. Soon Aunt Ros will come massaging your sprained leg." Said his mother while rubbing the back of his daughter's head and passed away leaving his daughter who was upset in his room.

In the living room looks Rival and Rili's father is familiar. They discussed politics and the case of Bank Century which was again warmly reported on TV and newspapers.

Seeing his wife come out of his daughter's room, Rili and Rival's father stopped the hot topic they were discussing.

Mama Rili sat down next to her husband. "Son Rival, is there anything you want to ask?" said Mama Rili with a careful look at Rival in front of him which is limited by a table in the living room.

"Yes ma'am, what do you want to ask me?" replied Rival with a slightly trembling voice. Somehow seeing the expression on the face of Mama Rili who came out from Rili's room with an expression like black fog. So that makes Rival again afraid of rejection.

"Look, like Rival and Rili's son are paired and married. Where will Rival live?" ask the woman who wears an instant veil of long toska color covering her chest up to her stomach.

Hearing Mama Rili's question, Rival was a little relieved. Rival thought Rili did not reject him.

"Our religious teaching is clearly said that a wife should follow her husband. Because, after marriage a husband takes full responsibility to his wife." Rival answered with a smile.

"Actually ma'am, I don't care where to stay? In the city of my birth I can also wander to this city I do not mind, since the end of MA (Madrasah Aliyah) I have been wandering ma'am." Said Rival trying to calm Rili's parents.

"That's what I think, if you're married how your life, Rival boy there is work in his village and Rili was already bound to be PNS here. What if you are a match, for a while you separate the house. Rili's here and Rival's in his village." Mama Rili said with a glance at her husband and son Rival in turn.

"It is better for a family to live with ma. After marriage, all decisions and responsibilities have passed to Rival's son. So, we must give her full confidence." Said Rili's father by looking at Rival.

Rival could instantly read the mind of Rili's mother, Mama Rili must be worried that her daughter could not be made happy by her.

"Look, ma'am, if we're a match. For a while let us be far apart. Rili's here and I'm at my parents' house." Rival said with a little heavy heart.

"Why is that?" ask Rili's father.

"Sir, my current financial condition is no longer good.I just work odd jobs. Of course your daughter, will feel unhappy, if I can not support her. True said the mother, taking care of the move takes time and money is not small, let alone we do not have an insider connection, then taking care of the move is not easy." Rival said with a little embarrassment, he lowered his pride again.

Rival's father, who heard Rival's statement, was made to worry. It is true that his decision to marry his daughter to Rival was the right one.

"So, what's the plan, son?" ask the man who wears Koko cream and peci clothes in the same color with his Kokonya shirt.

"If you're paired with Rili, for a while. Rili lives here and I live in my village as I said before. To this day, I am still looking for a decent job. I still always drop my job application in the city where I live and I will also drop my application in this city." Her speech.

"I don't actually mind living in this city, but I feel worthless as a husband. If I don't have a job and my wife has to go to work." He said with a slight bow, he was ashamed of himself who had no treasure to be proud of.

"Well, I can conclude everything. Hearing Rival's reply, it seemed like Rival wasn't the stubborn type of man." Mama Rili.

"Yes ma'am, thank you." replied Rival.

"Our daughter Rili wants to be given time to think, she doesn't want to decide anything instantly. So give him time to think During this one month," said Mama Rili intensely staring at Rival.

"Rili also did not curb the Rival for one month, as in this one month to find another better candidate. Then Rili is not a soul mate for Rival." Mama Rili said with a smile. The woman conveyed a lie to Yasir, clearly.was Rili did not want to marry Rival.

Rival who heard Mama Rili's words was made happy, the man's face was emitting rays of happiness decorated with a fluffy smile, his two hands linked and swiped at each other. He wanted to warm his cold hands for fear of rejection.

Rival does not know that actually Rili's mother lied.

Rili's mother, who saw the happy expression of Rival, prayed in her heart that in one month God would open the door of her daughter's heart, so that she would marry Rival.

Seriate.
