Riana's Sadness

That morning Riana prepared a dish for her husband and children. Riana is accompanied by Surti, her maid. She cooked her husband's favorite chicken dish.

"Tumben mom cook opor for dad?" ask Surti.

With a smile Riana said, "Last night will be given the same father's inner ration. He-he-he.."

"God... Mom sumringah's assesan was really good this morning. So the envy of Surti bu," said Surti.

"Makanya tuh cepetan same marriage Supian, Satpam his family Markus Ong our neighbor, Kan often menyapel here," joked Riana.

"Ah males mom. Mas Supian's a playboy cap crocodile in the bu complex. The time of all the helpers in the complex was teased. Especially if the vegetable brother passes by and all the helpers come out, hmm. disdainful dah with the future. Spread the charm of mulu si mas Supian. Especially now there is the Neneng, our young herbalist. Noh the crocodile charmer immediately launched his deadly seduction style," Surti's story while fiery.

"Well, you're jealous of Surti?"

"Not the mom. Who wants to be with him."

"Trus is still single. the age is almost 32 years old..."

"Call mom, Surti again PDKT with bang Solihin, which sells cosmetics at a cosmetics store near the PDAM tower which is around the red light way to this house bu. It's saucy, white, good again ma'am..." Surti.

"Does he like you too, Surti?"

"Like the mom. He even promised next month to propose to Surti and meet Surti's parents in the village" Surti said while sumringah.

"That's good. Mom and Dad will help with the cost of the prescription. Make the show in the building here. Cost issues, we will help. Just so you are happy" said Riana.

"Well... When I was married, my mom and dad were bothered?" ask Surti a little less good.

"Well, Surti we've considered family too. So we have the right to help" Riana replied.

Riana also took a glass and went to the refrigerator to get cold water for her to drink, but somehow she would drink, Riana's grip was released from the glass until the glass fell down,

"PRINCE...."

The glass that had fallen out finally broke. Riana tried to pick up the broken glass but suddenly her hand was scratched by the broken glass and bled. Seeing that, Surti immediately approached his boss,

"Ouch.the hands of the bloody mother. Let Surti get you a cotton swab with red medicine. Let's just ma'am, Surti will sort out the broken glass," said Surti then rushed to take the P3K box.

A few minutes later Surti returned with a P3K box. He then cleaned and bandaged Riana's wounds and also cleaned up the broken glass from the fallen glass.

Shortly after, Riana's husband Malik comes down from his room upstairs and sees Riana being treated by Surti, who is now in the middle of the room,

"Why you, baby?" ask Riana's Husband.

"It's okay, baby. The glass I was holding fell and broke. I tried to pick up the glass fragments, the year my hand was hurt. Why are you darling? How did you end up crying?" riana looked at her husband's eyes red.

"Moment... Mom..."

"Why dear?"

"Mama.. died just now."

"Innailaihi wa innailaihi. Means the glass that fell was a sign of mamah died," Riana replied while unconsciously letting out her tears.

"We are running out of this to go straight to Sukabumi. Our children take it. Later alas tidakin his homeroom teacher said permission," said Riana's husband.

Riana rushes to pick up her cell phone and calls the homeroom of her children. After calling her child's homeroom teacher, Riana called Mira,

📞"Hallo Riana, what's up?"

📞"I'll drop off the Coffee Shop again huh Mir?"

riana's voice sobbed holding back her cries.

📞"Lho why Ri? You're okay, right?"

📞"My mother-in-law passed away this morning. We're going to Sukabumi now."

📞"Innailaihi wa innailaihi rojiun... Okay Ri, I'm telling you, too, guys..."

📞"Yes Mir, thanks yes. I'll get ready first."

📞"Okay Ri, Assalamualaikum."

📞"Waalaikum greetings."

The phone was closed, in a hurry Riana prepared her luggage and then she went to take a shower.

20 Minutes passed, Riana and her husband and children were ready to leave.

"Dear baby..."

Riana approached Surti and said, "Surti, leave the house!"

Surti replied, "Ready ma'am..."

Finally Riana and her husband and children left the house to Sukabumi.

On the way, Riana receives a call from Selvi, who is,

📞"Ri, where are you?"

📞"We've almost entered the Jagorawi Toll."

📞"Let's share lock yes. I, Rachel, Tiara and Mira plan to go to your in-laws."

Three hours passed finally the Riana family car reached her in-laws house. There are many people who have been worshipping. After sending the location gps to Selvi, Riana and her husband and children rushed inside and saw that Riana's mother-in-law had been stiffened and covered in cloth. With an unbearable cry again, Riana immediately hugged the body of her mother-in-law,

"Mama.." said Riana sobbing.

One of the mourners tried to calm Riana down and said, "Patience to you, your mother-in-law is no longer in pain. He is calm and sound in the lap of the Divine."

An hour later, Rachel, Mira, Tiara and Selvi arrive at the funeral home. They went out and came to Riana and hugged her while giving her spirit and fortitude. Mira, and the Muslim Tiara sat down and picked up Yasin's surah and read it in front of the body. While Rachel and Selvi who are Christians just sit with her friends.

The local RT chief approached Malik, Riana's husband, and said, "Mas, where is the funeral planned? What time is it? All you want permission, soon the body will be bathed and sholatkan in the mosque."

Malik replied, "The plan is to have my mother buried in the family alkah. Please sir if you want to bathe my mother's body."

After getting approval from Malik, his mama's body was taken to be bathed. Malik also helped bathe his mother's body, because he is currently the only biological child. Malik's brother died a few years ago in an accident, leaving behind his wife and daughter.

After being bathed and pardoned, the body of Riana's mother-in-law was taken to the mosque to be worshipped and from there, the body was sent to her final resting place.

After the funeral procession was completed, Riana's friends approached Riana and gave her encouragement,

"Ri, you and your husband have taken good care of your mother-in-law. Maybe it's God's destiny so he doesn't feel any more pain" Selvi said.

"Yes Ri" replied the other.

"Thank you my sohibs for coming here" said Riana.

"We are 5 virgins. In keeping with our motto of friendship, sorrowful, happy, we both feel," Rachel replies.

Riana approached Aisyah, the wife of her late brother-in-law, and said, "Sir, my mother has left us. Do you want to come with us to Jakarta?"

Aisyah replied, "Neng Riana, it seems like she survived in this village. The kids are still in school. And also here are many memories of mbak with the late husband and mama. Continue to be able to keep the mamah heritage house and take care of it. Once again thank you very much for Riana's offer."

"Then let me with Mas Malik help finance mbak here yes," said Riana.

"Later to trouble neng Riana family. Just calm down, mbak is also work, so you can support yourself and children," replied Aisyah.

"No, no, no. We even thank him for taking care of mamah while he was alive and now taking care of the mamah heritage house. Is that right, baby?" riana said while looking at her husband for her husband's approval.

Riana's husband nodded in agreement.

"Yes, let's go back home. The other mourners are already at home," asked Riana's husband.

They also left the grave of Riana's mother-in-law and returned to the house that became the residence and childhood memories of Riana's husband.
