Rainbow At The End of Longing
7. Meet the Former Inmates



This afternoon is my schedule to check my pregnancy out to the gynecologist. I was accompanied by Kak Anjani and Bang Langit. While Keinan, Bintang, and Inara are at home along with Papa Surya and Mama Wulan.


"How's the doc on my sister's womb?" asked Kak Jani after the hijab doctor finished examining me and my womb.


Jani's sister helped me to sit back in the chair next to her. Bang Sky did not come in, he chose to wait outside the examination room only.


"Thankful thank God the condition of the fetus is good and the development is also good. Fetal development is appropriate for a six-month-old fetus" replied Dr. Cahya, an obstetrician who handled my pregnancy from the beginning.


"Alhamdulillaah," said Kak Jani grateful.


"Vitamin later do not forget to drink yes, Miss Shofi. Eat nutritious food. Get enough rest. Don't be too tired either. And most importantly, don't think too much. Let it not affect the development of the mother's fetus," Doctor Cahya told me.


"Well, Doc," I said yes.


"Then we excuse you, Doc," said Kak Jani standing up and helping me to stand up as well.


"Yes, Mom. Please," replied Doctor Cahya who also stood up from her seat.


"Thank you very much, Doc," said Kak Jani while greeting Doctor Cahya.


"Together, Mom."


"Thank you very much, Doctor Cahya," said I who also helped greet the right hand of Doctor Cahya.


"Together, Miss Shofi. That has become my duty" replied Doctor Cahya with a friendly smile.


"I'm sorry, Doc. Assalamu'alaikum," said I and Kak Jani.


"Please, Mom. Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Doctor Cahya.


Me and Brother Jani then walked out of Doctor Cahya's room.


"Where, Ma?" bang Langit asked as soon as we both came out of Doctor Cahya's room and approached her.


"The doctor said Shofi's condition and the baby's healthy, Pa," replied Kak Jani.


"Thank God that's it," said Bang Langit.


"We went to the pharmacy to take medicine and vitamin Shofi first yuk, Pa," asked Kak Jani.


"Mama Sama Shofi went first to the pharmaceutical department. Later Papa will follow. Papa wants to go to the toilet for a while" said Bang Langit.


"Oh, okay then. We wait for Papa at the pharmacy, yes," Kak Jani asserted.


"Okay, Ma."


Me and Brother Jani then walked to the pharmacy to queue to take the medicine, while Bang Langit went to the toilet in the hospital.


Kak Jani and I sat in the waiting chair that was provided. Waiting for my name to be called by the pharmaceutical department to take my medicine.


Unexpectedly, we suddenly met Anggun and Chika, the older sister and younger sister of Bayu, my first ex-husband. They both stopped their steps as soon as they saw me and Brother Jani.


"Sister Shofi," called Chika with a happy smile.


Yes, my relationship with Chika is quite good. Unlike my relationship with Anggun Brother, who has always been very strict with me since the first time I came to their house.


"The chika? Brother Anggun?" I said in shock and did not expect that I would meet them here.


Me and Brother Jani then stood up from our seats.


"How's Shofi?" ask Chika.


"Alhamdulillaah, good news. How are you and the others, Dek?" also many.


"Our news is good too, sister," replied Chika.


"Oh, someone else checks the contents like this," said Anggun cynical, as usual.


"Yes, Brother. How's Anggun?" I just want to keep the politeness.


"That's a pity, you. Again pregnant gini but instead her husband is missing and until now still not found too. Surely your new husband is affected by the bad luck that you have it. Ck-ck-ck, pity," sibir Anggun.


I felt my heart instantly heat up because of the emotion. Not much different from Kak Jani who is standing next to me at this time.


"Hei Mbak, if you have a mouth it is guarded by dong. Shofi nyapa fine loh. Not answered, but your words are like that. Mending does not need to talk about all of his talk hurts the hearts of people like that," said Kak Jani annoyed.


"Eh, what the fuck? Don't interfere in other people's affairs, yes," said Anggun, angry.


"Sister," I said as I held onto Kak Jani's arm, trying to ease my sister-in-law's emotions.


"No Shofi. He's been outrageous. The talk is not good either. Have any right what he talks like that about you," refused Kak Jani fiery.


"Udah Kak, justin. Don't take it," I said still trying to ease Kak Jani's emotions.


"Eh, the more insolent you are, Shof. This too, why the heck meddle in other people's affairs," exclaimed Anggun angry Kak while pointing at me and Kak Jani alternately.


"Anggun Brother don't do that dong. We're in the hospital again. Don't look for it because of you, sister," said Chika also who tried to stop her brother's anger.


"You little boy know what the hell? Diem aja deh," ketus Anggun Kak did not accept.


"Hmh, it turns out like this is the behavior of your former brother-in-law, Shofi," said Kak Jani with his leisure.


Yes, after understanding the situation that occurred also assessing the attitude and behavior of Anggun Kak and Chika, Kak Jani was finally able to determine what kind of attitude she should take.


I let go of Brother Jani's arm that I was holding. It seems that I no longer need to worry about what my brother-in-law who is a psychology scholar will do. He must have thought carefully about the attitude he would take after this.


"What do you mean?" said Anggun Angry, did not accept the words of Kak Jani earlier.


"I don't mean anything. I just feel sorry, Shofi was once part of your family. Shofi must have felt very depressed at that time, having a sister-in-law like you," said Kak Jani who was no longer emotional.


"You," said Anggun who was still with his fiery anger.


"But I want to thank you too. Thank you for letting go of Shofi as part of your family. Until finally our family can have a good and polite daughter-in-law like this Shofi. Our family feels very lucky to get diamonds like Shofi and Keinan" Kak Jani continued.


I silently smiled a thin smile. Kak Jani knows best how to deal with someone based on his attitude and behavior.


I can see also Anggun Brother who clenched his hands tightly. Anger was clearly visible from the look on his face. While Chika could only fall silent without being able to retaliate.


"I'm sorry, baby, it's been a while" said Bang Langit who had suddenly approached the four of us.


I, Brother Jani, Brother Anggun, and Chika also compactly turned towards Bang Langit who had just come.


"Yes, Pa. No pa-pa really," replied Kak Jani while smiling gently to her husband.


"So Inara called his HP Oma, asked to buy fruit juice with donuts, he said," said Bang Langit.


"Yes, we'll stop by, Pa. All for the same Star Keinan as well" replied Kak Jani.


"Yes, Ma. Uh, see you, yeah, you guys?" bang Langit asked as soon as he realized the existence of Anggun and Chika in front of us.


"Oh, no, Pa. Here, the former brother-in-law and his sister-in-law Shofi used to. We just accidentally met here," replied Kak Jani.


"Oh, that. Your medicine isn't, Shof?" asked Bang Langit turned to me.


"No, Bang. Still waiting to be called" I replied.


"Mother Shofiyyah Az-Zahra."


A call from a loudspeaker.


"Well, it's been called. You wait here with your sister. Let Brother take it," said Bang Langit.


"Eh, yes Bang. Thanks," I said.


"Papa take Shofi's medicine for a while, Ma," said Bang Langit to Kak Jani.


"Okay, Pa," replied Brother Jani.


Bang Langit then rushed towards the medicine taking section.


"See, our family all loved Shofi and Keinan very much. So, again I say thank you very much yes. Because all of you have let go of Shofi so that our family can get a daughter-in-law as good as Shofi and a grandson as cute as Keinan" Kak Jani said with a smile.


Anggun looks even more angry.


"Come on Chik, we're out of here. A waste of time from earlier was just a show-off," ketus Anggun Kak who then turned around and pulled Chika's hand, invited her away.


"First yes, sister," cried Chika as she looked back.


"Yes, Chik. Careful," I shouted back a little because Chika and Anggun's sister were already a little far away.


Then I heard the voice of Kak Jani who laughed giggling in satisfaction.


"Sister Jani, isshhh. Habit deh," I grumbled who also laughed a little.


"Facing a kayak should be like that, Shof. Skak mat already. I can't bales anymore" said Kak Jani.


Also true. In my heart I confirmed my sister-in-law's words. I also increasingly salute with accuracy Kak Jani in facing everyone who is looking for trouble with us.
