Not Love But Married
Pamite



Rania grabbed a note book located on her bedside table and re-read her own handwriting that had been neatly arranged containing Ceklist all the items that will be brought to Jakarta for fear there the forgotten.


'it seems to have been all', inner Ranin while counting back all the cardboard that has been neatly covered with duct tape and labeled so that later it will be easy to find his goods.


The door was opened from the outside, Mother appeared on the doorstep, then entered the room while observing the items that had been packed neatly in the cardboard.


"It's done packing all Ra?", asked Mom who was directly sitting on the bed, and, his eyes looked at Rania's bedroom which now looked empty because some of its contents had entered into a large cardboard box and some suitcases containing Rania and Andra's clothes.


"God willing, Mom, where is Andra?", asked Rania who did not see Andra from earlier because she was busy packing her things.


"Again Lego with Eyang Kung in front.", Mom looked at Rania with a sad look, it was still not willing because soon Rania and Andra will move to Jakarta. Father and mother tomorrow will also take Rania and Andra to the house in Jakarta.


Rania will later occupy her parents' house in Jakarta. The house where Rania's parents lived when she was still on duty to teach at a private Islamic University in Jakarta.


I moved my teaching assignment to Jakarta when I was pregnant with Rania. Mother who was six months pregnant at that time did not want to part with the father and forced to move to follow the father to Jakarta.


You finally decided to buy a simple type of house, considering the salary of the Father at that time only able to buy a house with a KPR system that can be paid in installments per month.


Luckily, at that time, he got a subsidy from the government for the purchase of a simple type of house. The house with type 45 contains 2 rooms and the land area is only about 100m2. It is enough to accommodate young couples like Father and Mother at that time.


After three months moving to Jakarta, Rania was born in the middle of a small family of Mr. Mother.


Seven years later, he was accepted as a lecturer at the State Islamic University in Jogja. Father and mother moved again to the mother's parents' house in Jogja, until now.


While the house in Jakarta is rented to others so that it is always filled and well maintained. Coincidentally this one year there is no one else who rented the house of Mr. Yang in Jakarta, so Rania can directly occupy the house.


Three weeks ago, he went to Jakarta to check his house, then prepare a handyman to renovate the house so that it is comfortable to live in by his children and grandchildren later.


Meanwhile, I also told Bik Inah to come to Jakarta. Bik Inah has been working as a PRT at her mother's house from 15 years ago, so she already knows very well that Bik Inah is really a good and sincere person to her family. Bik Inah himself did not mind to come to Jakarta. At the age of 46 years, Bik Inah has lived alone in her home, because her husband died about three years ago because of illness, her first child has a family and has lived with her husband, who has been living with her, the second son worked in Jakarta. So make Inah can be close again to the youngest child.


Rania turned her head towards her mother who was staring at her sadly.


"Mothers... ", Rania was sitting next to Mom, her hands were holding her mother's shoulders, while her head was propped up on the other. Started to sound sobs Mother who cried softly.


"Rania, why don't you find a job here? Why should it be in Jakarta that is very far from the mother?", mother's shoulders were shaken as her cries began to whack.


"Your father can still help you, Ra. You're still working and I think that'll be enough for the lives of the four of us here.".


Rania smiled at her mother who was very worried about her. For five years it was the Father who always helped Rania to live her life. Formerly armed with savings from his work for three years, Rania can still finance himself and Andra for almost two years more. After Rania's savings began to thin, Mr. began to take over the cost of living Rania and Andra, including Andra's school fees in the playgroup.


Rania does not want to continue to be a burden for both parents, although Mr. Mother never minded it and without asking will always give pocket money to Rania and Andra.


Rania sighed softly, looking at Mother who was still crying beside her.


"Mom should trust Rania. Rania asked, strengthen Rania with prayers from Mother and Father for Rania and Andra, so that Rania can be strong and strong to face all this. Rania believes this is the best way for Rania, Rania must be able to rise again for the sake of Andra. Rania asked for my mother's blessing, let Rania take another step. Please sincerely move Rania, ma'am", Rania hugged Mom tightly, her tears fell down Mother's shoulders.


Mother hugged Rania tightly back while continuing to cry deeply, it was hard to take off her child who had been beside her.


"Mother.!", cried Andra startling Rania and the crying Mother embrace.


"Yang Uti with Mommy why cry?", asked Andra innocently while continuing to look at the faces of Rania and Mother alternately. Rania and Mom looked at each other, then both smiled.


"Mother was saying the same thing to Yang Uti, baby."


"The farewell should be salim, Mother. That's Andra's ustazah at school."


Mom and Rania laughed at Andra.


"Dear, Mother was salim the same as the Uti."


"Andra tomorrow must take care of Mother in Jakarta yes", said Mother while lifting Andra's body to sit on her lap.


"Everyone Who's Uti! Said Yang Kung Andra later became a strong protective soldier of Mother, so that you can take care of Mother.", Andra put his right hand on his forehead like a gesture of respect.


"Alhamdulillah... Andra is a great kid. Sholeh's son is good and smart. Uti loved Andra.".


"Andra is also very dear to Yang Uti.", Andra hugged Mom with her small hands. Rania smiled to look at Andra and Mother who embraced each other, thanking God for being given the grace of a family that loved each other like them.
