Not Mauku

The coming of Mahdalene

Again Dimas nodded. "No-no, Mother can't go. Can't." Dimas hugged his wife's body tightly.

Unknowingly Dimas was crying. "Where to go, Mother, do not stay in Father," what else considering many men who save the taste of his wife. It makes him even more afraid of losing.

Naya became confused in the arms of her husband, who was crying. "Yes, if one day I'm gone, there will be a woman's mother you love. And you'll definitely find someone better than me."

"No, I want Mother and our children. Don't talk ah, I don't want to hear it anymore. We sleep." Dimas took his wife to sleep.

Naya smiled faintly at the words from Dimas' slightly sulking lips, not her sulking self but the exact opposite. Then they both unwind and tired from the activities of the day, both sleep hugging each other.

The next day around noon Naya finished praying, she stepped down the stairs. The sound of a car ringing outside, Naya thought that it was the sound of her husband's car coming home.

But not long ago Bibi told me that there was a mother who was visiting and wanted to meet her. "Who's Bi?" Naya curious.

"I don't know Mom, but it seems to have come here" said Auntie.

"Oh yes," Naya stepped her foot into the living room. He stopped his steps when he saw who was sitting with his legs crossed.

It turned out to be Ms. Mahdalena, deg deg deg deg Naya was racing. The feeling is not good. "What's wrong? my husband is not there" muttered Naya, then continued his steps closer to Mahda's mother who had seen his arrival.

"Good day?" mahda stood up.

"I-iya, please sit down" Naya said as she sat opposite him.

Mahda looked at Naya intently, "Sorry ya interrupt your time."

"What's wrong, Mom? it just so happens that my husband has not come home yet" Naya said softly.

"Oh that's okay, I met you on purpose" he said with a difficult look.

"Meet with me? what does it mean yes, I don't understand," Naya was confused.

"It's heavy, it wants to pee, it's all there is" Naya murmured in her heart. "Sorry Mom, I'm so sorry. I'd like to go to the toilet for a while" Naya stood up.

"Oh yes please," said Mahdalena, Naya left. Aunty came to serve two glasses of drinking water.

"Please drink," the aunt offered Mahdalene a drinking glass.

"Yes .." he muttered, after Aunt came in, Mahdalene took something from her bag. Then he put it in the other glass, right glass for Naya, Mahda smiled with satisfaction while her eyes winked.

A moment later Naya returned. "Okay .. sorry Mom," said Naya, implying her smile. "Well, what's going on with me?" Naya curious.

"Yes, look," Mahda wanted to get straight to the point. "I want to hold your husband accountable. For having taken away the sanctity of my daughter," indeed Mahda turned the truth upside down.

Deg ... Naya remembers the story from her husband that night. With a calm smile Naya said, "Hem ... that is impossible, my husband other than work never wandered away."

Mahda smiled cynically. "Once you trust your husband, don't you ever think he's lying to you. Say work when the road, it can be."

"No Ma'am, I really believe in my husband, that you want to destroy people's homes. Mum's got the wrong address, not here, I don't have to make up stories about my husband. Just for the sake of Mother herself, free," Naya said firmly even though her lips were shaking.

"But that's the fact, my daughter told me such a story. They did it in the hospital," Mahda assured.

"Already Mom, if you need a man, you can find from your own men, and do not look for people's husbands. Let me think about what if Mom is in the position of the woman you want to take her husband in? how does Mom feel," Naya said with a deep sigh.

"But the child my daughter was carrying was the result of an affair"

"Enough Ma'am, enough. Please come home and find another solution, not chasing someone's husband. Bujang is still a lot of ma'am," said Naya still want to respect her guests.

Mahda's gaze grew sharp. "Nih difficult woman also her heart is melted right, has it hit the words of her husband?" inner Mahda.

"You don't trust your husband too much, same man in front of the sweet but not behind" Mahda said with a faint smile.

"No, not everything is like that" Naya shook her head. "Here you go, I can't believe Mom's unconvincing words."

"I beg with all humility. For a mother's sake, I beg you to lend me your husband for a few months." Mahda had lost her mind she begged and put both hands together in front of her chin.

Sontak Naya who had been down became looking up. "He thinks my husband is an item that can be simply lent, has gone crazy," Naya's mind grumbled.

"My husband is not an item that can easily be loaned, please understand. I don't have time to wait for you" Naya stood up and pointed at the wide-open door.

Mahda's eyes followed the direction Naya pointed. With a heart of disappointment, disappointment. Mahda stands. "Okay, it's good that I'm here-"

"Yes that's right."

"Please tell your husband that, wait for my revenge. I mean, I'm not just going to stay still," and then look out through the door that he could've been blown away.

Seeing that Naya shook her head while saying. "Astagfirullah," as he rubbed his chest, this incident really made his heart continue to pound. At first he was afraid he could not face the woman well, but in fact he could.

Naya moves her eyeballs to the table, where the drinking water is not touched in the slightest by her guests.

"Yes Ma'am," said Bibi from behind.

Arriving in the room. "Why Arif Bi?" while grabbing Arif from Bi Meri's lap.

"Don't know Ma'am," said Bi Meri in confusion.

"Oh, yes already cup-cup, this cup of love is the same Mother, do not cry again yes. Tired yes, bobo-bobo," Naya cradles baby Arif who instantly calms down.

The sound of Naya's phone notification was so loud it sounded, Naya glanced at the phone she had stored on the table. "Bi please, my phone."

Aunty immediately picked it up and gave it to Naya.

"Thank you Bi."

A notification from her husband saying that he would be late for home. We will have a meeting at the clinic.

Arif was bobo, Naya also put to sleep in his place. Kayla was also in Bibi's lap whining for her mother's arms. "Hem .. adek also miss Mother yes," Naya pinched her daughter's cheek and held Kayla, in the east with sholawat until Kayla fell asleep in the arms of the Mother.

At the clinic, Dimas and other doctor friends were having a serious conversation.

"Our donor, Mrs Mahdalena, has canceled her cooperation with this clinic" said Dr Aldo.

Everybody look at each other. Some say, if you can cancel the cooperation, it will stay nerusin.

But Dimas did not feel surprised because he had expected this to happen. Personal problems will affect the business, and he has read it all.

"When he was a good donor. What if he asks for the funds that have been issued?" endro said to everyone.

"Return it" Dimas said quickly.

"How to do doc, while we also have to find other donors for the future" said one doctor.

"Don't be afraid, God willing there will be a way" Dimas continued, playing a ballpoint on his finger.

"I am sure that among all of us. We still have savings, we just have capital. Simple, right? do not make the retreat of a donor make us all discouraged. Our spirit of any other will work, let's just say one die will grow a thousand," said Dimas staring at his colleague one-on-one.

All just nodding his head, a sign of understanding the intent of doctor Dimas.

"I have an idea, and I will fight for it as much as I can. So that the clinic that has been built is not in vain," again the view of Dimas swept to all colleagues doctor.

"Yep, that's right, we can't be discouraged. We have to come together and work together, don't we, bro?" Endro glanced at Dimas.

Dimas nodded. "Endro's right."

"So the opening of this clinic when it will be inaugurated, on the contrary, yesterday when the Council is still cooperating with us. Already agreed to be inaugurated this week, while now he retreated," the gaze of doctor Aldo was pointed at Dimas.

Dimas was silent for a moment but next he said. "The equipment is partly ready, so why should be pushed back. We will inaugurate it according to plan," said Dimas.

"I still don't understand what's the reason the council's mom canceled her partnership?" Aldo frowned.

"There may be personal problems that make the business affected" Endro said as he looked at the silent Dimas.

"Perhaps," Aldo nodded his head, it could be like that, Aldo himself did not know the story of Dimas who rejected the proposal of the Councilwoman. Unlike Endro who already knows everything.

After conversing for quite a while, Dimas glanced at the clock that was coiling in his hand. "I think our meeting today was enough to get here first. Tomorrow we'll do our job, okay, see you again."

Dimas moved from his sitting, as well as the others. Leaving that place.

Endro, Dimas and Aldo walked together, in the clinic corridor "You don't know friends" Endro told Aldo.

"What about?" Aldo was curious Endro suddenly said that.

"That's about the board mama who canceled her cooperation," continued Endro, Dimas in the back just listened.

"Emang why?" aldo's question was getting curious.

Endro told me about Mahdalene. The root of the problem so most likely the setback.

Dimas patted the shoulders of his two friends who were busy chatting. "Lah ghibah mulu you, go home yuk. Dinner there, okay? I go first," On the road ahead of Aldo and Endro who look at him.
