Ride in Bed

Will of Adit

Ida chose to be in her room. After hearing what Fajar said this morning, the woman was quite shocked. The fact that Aditya had to die because of someone made the woman hit. Especially seeing Adrian so emotional. Usually the first child can control his emotions.

Toni didn't talk much after Dawn came home. Just like Adrian, the man was also angry to know the reality that happened to his son. If he is able, he wants to find out for himself who the perpetrator of the crime is. His son's life was taken for granted and made his grandson an orphan.

“Mas.. about what Adit said before leaving, is it true? Is it true that Ad loves Dewi?”

Ida's voice broke the silence. Toni, who was in front of the window, moved closer to the bed, then sat by her side. His eyes looked at the wife who was still waiting for her answer.

“Iya. Ad does love Dewi.”

“Mas already know about this? Since when?”

“When we first saw Adit gig at the cafe. That was the first time I knew.”

“Why didn't you ever tell me? Why hold him alone? What is it also that makes the mas refused marriage Adit and Dewi first?”

“Iya.”

Toni's head bowed languidly. It was a tough decision to make at the time. Gives happiness to Aditya and gives hurt to Adrian. But he did not regret his decision at all. At least Aditya can feel happiness before death picks him up.

Ida carefully listens to Toni's story about her two children's complicated relationship with the Goddess. Adrian who was forced to hold his happiness for the sake of the happiness of his sister. Even he was willing to hurt the Goddess and make the woman hate him.

“Oh.. Ad. must be feeling the child is very sick. Why is he happy to cover his feelings,” murmured Ida slowly.

The woman came back crying to hear the story of her eldest son. Toni clasped his wife's shoulder and hugged her. As a mother, she felt like a failure because she was insensitive to the feelings of her children.

“According to mas, how about the will of Adit?”

“It was Adit's last wish. Ad and Dewi have agreed, we have to make it happen. Wh why? You don't agree?”

“Why do I agree? Good child goddess, she has given happiness to Adit. It would be better if Ad who married her than other men who would not necessarily love Arkhan like his own child. But Dewi.. what do you think he will agree? She may say yes because of Adit's insistence, because she could not bear to see her husband continue to beg. If so, he might change his mind. Moreover, Ad never hurt his heart.”

“Hopefully not. After all, Ad's relationship with Dewi has recently improved. What if you talk to him?”

“You're right, mas. I'll talk to Dewi.”

“Take mom to help you.”

“Iya, mas.”

“But, you don't tell me about Adrian's feelings for the Goddess. Let the child himself say his feelings.”

Ida nodded her head. He moved from his seat to meet the Goddess. That woman's iddah is still a long time. But if Dewi agrees to marry Adrian once her term is over, it will be better. Arkhan will not lose his paternal affection, and certainly Adrian will be a protector for his grandson and son-in-law.

Ida's hand was raised knocking on the door of the Goddess' room. Before long the door opened, the Goddess invited Ida to enter. The woman's face looked swollen. Ever since Dawn came to reveal the truth behind her husband's death, she has not stopped crying. Ida sat down on the side of the bed. His eyes looked at Arkhan who was already asleep.

“Don't cry on, Wi. What you feel can also be felt by Arkhan. Mama knows you must be sad, angry once you know the truth about Adit. Mama too, but crying won't solve everything. You must be strong, for the sake of your son.”

The clear circle again flowed the face of the Goddess. Ida hugged her daughter-in-law. The happiness felt by the woman was only a lifetime of corn, and now it has been taken away by Aditya.

“Tomorrow, you take all your things and Arkhan. You and Arkhan will stay with us. Mom wants something to happen with you guys.”

“Iya, ma.”

“You're alone, Wi. there's mama, papa and Ad. We are your family. You think of me as your own child. So, your place is here, with us.”

The cry of the Goddess broke again hearing Ida's words. In the midst of his sadness left by Aditya, he is grateful Ida is still willing to embrace and accept it. Ida's hand rubbed her daughter-in-law's back.

For a moment Ida kept quiet. He was still putting together a proper sentence to talk about the matter of Aditya's will. Slowly Ida let go of her embrace, then looked at the Goddess.

“Mama knows that now is not the right time to ask this. Mama just wants to talk about Adit's will. You remember that, right?”

The goddess did not answer. Aditya's request to marry Adrian is of course still clear in his memory. The Goddess really doesn't know how. On the one hand if you see Arkhan, it feels like she meets the mandate of her late husband. But on the other hand, Adrian does not love him. Marriage will only hurt both of them. The goddess did not want to be a barrier to her brother-in-law's happiness.

“Wi.”

Call Ida disperse the reverie of the Goddess. The woman still did not give her answer. In addition to the feeling problem, he also did not want to lose Adrian. Everyone who is close to him will end in death. That's what we're thinking right now. The loss of both parents and husband really took her by storm. The goddess felt she was the one who caused the three to leave.

“I.. fear, ma.”

“Fear why?”

“I.. now only have Arkhan, mama, papa and bang Ad. I'm afraid that if bang Ad marries me, bang Ad will leave me too. I don't want to lose anymore, ma. I'm just an unlucky carrier for the people near me.”

“Yes Allah, Wi.. istighfar, don't say so.”

Ida hugged her daughter-in-law again. Three times abandoned loved ones make the Goddess traumatized to blame herself. Ida's tears dripped hearing her daughter-in-law's words.

“You are not a bad-ass carrier. What happened to your parents and Adit is a destiny that has been determined by God. Don't ever think like that, son. You are the greatest happiness in Adit's life. Human age is unpredictable, Adit married or not with you, if indeed his age is only until this year, then he will also be taken by the Almighty. I am grateful that she married you. Live happily until blessed Arkhan. It was only for a moment, but he already felt what it was like to be a husband and father. Her happiness is complete, and it's thanks to you.”

The Goddess' tears are getting bigger. Behind her sadness, she was moved to hear everything her mother-in-law had said. The husband has given his family to him, a family that supports and strengthens him in a fragile time like this.

“You don't need to answer Adit's will now. You can think about it first. But. mama really hopes you want to fulfill Adit's last wish. There is no other man who can protect and love you other than Ad.”

The goddess just nodded her head. He will think carefully about Aditya's will. The embrace of the two unraveled when Arkhan woke up and cried. The goddess took Arkhan and carried him. Ida rubbed the tops of the grandchildren's heads while wiping away her still flowing tears.

“Ad.”

Ida approached her firstborn in the room. Adrian, who was checking his student duties, stopped his work. He approached Ida who was sitting on the side of the bed.

“What's up, ma?”

“Soal will Adit. You want to do it?”

“Mama agree?”

“There is a reason why mommy would agree? But Dewi. It seems like she is still traumatized by continuing to lose those closest to her, plus you used to hurt her. It will be hard for him to accept.”

Adrian's face changed to hear his mother's words. She looked at her mother intensely. Ida just smiled to see the reaction of her son. There are too many secrets that her son is silent about.

“Mama knows. Papa you told me. Now it's time for you to pursue your love, your happiness. Adit is calm now, he also has felt the happiness you gave him. Mama is just sad, you have to go through it alone.”

Ida's cry broke as she said that. Adrian hugged Ida tightly. His eyes are also glazed. Until now he still can not get rid of the sadness that wrestled his heart because of the departure of Aditya. The man was crying in his mother's arms.

“Cry Ad, if you want to cry. There is too much sadness that you endure alone. You fought alone to bring happiness to your sister. Now is the time for you to be happy. Admit your feelings to the Goddess, marry her, live happily with her and also Arkhan.”

“Will he accept me, ma?”

“Surely.mama is sure she will accept you. Mama believes you can find a way to return her love to you.”

Ida broke out her embrace, then wiped away the tears on the child's face. The woman is determined to help her son get delayed happiness. If necessary he will prostrate before the Goddess so that the woman will accept her firstborn.

“Today can you take the Goddess to her house? He's gonna stay here and need to pick up his stuff. Adit goods are also still a lot there.”

“Iya, ma.”

The woman got up from her seat, then walked out of the room. He headed towards the Goddess' room to take Arkhan. His daughter-in-law was already preparing to leave. Ida carried Arkhan and along with the Goddess out of the room.

“You came out today to pick up your stuff. But from tomorrow until your iddah period is over, you should stay home. Not that mom won't let you go, but that's the way it is. All for your good and good name.”

“Iya, ma.”

Ida's smile rose to see the Goddess who immediately obeyed her words. He will also reduce the busyness outside the house in order to accompany his daughter-in-law. Bored will be felt by the Goddess. But it was the best for him, and also his safety.

🌸🌸🌸

The arrival of Dewi and Adrian was welcomed by Amir and Wiwin. For a few days Wiwin lived with her husband. He also brought his first child, they will live with Amir.

“Healthy, kang?” ask Adrian.

“Aalhamdulillah's. How are you doing, Wi?”

“Alhamdulillah good, kang.”

“Arkhan?”

“Arkhan is also healthy.”

“Alhamdulillah.”

Wiwin came to bring cold drinks for Dewi and Adrian. From the direction of the room, appeared his son who was only a year and a half old. Wiwin immediately greeted the child and sat on his lap.

“Begini, kang. From today onwards, Dewi will stay at home mama and papa. we are here to take things only.”

Actually Amir was quite surprised to hear Adrian's narration. Though the main purpose of calling the wife to live with him in order to accompany the Goddess. But he could not ban it, especially if it was the best for his cousin's sister.

“This contract let me continue. All the stuff that's here too, I'm wearing it. There are still seven months left before the contract runs out. If I want to extend please aja.”

“Iya, Wi. Thanks though. I feel at home here, neng Wiwin also.”

“Still, kang.”

“Should be a thank you.”

“I want to finish things first.”

The goddess got up from her seat and went into the room. Wiwin handed his son to Amir, then followed Dewi into the room. He wanted to help the Goddess clean up her things.

One by one the Goddess took out her clothes, Arkhan and also Aditya. His tears flowed back to see Aditya's clothes. He kissed the clothes to let go of the longing for the husband. Wiwin invites Dewi to sit on the mattress while folding clothes.

“Teteh can only pray, hope you quickly get happiness again.”

“Aamiin.. Thanks, tea.”

The goddess took a deep breath and let go slowly. His eyes looked around the room. Memories of Aditya and himself are created in this room. They often played together with Arkhan while lying on the bed. Talk about future plans together.

“I actually like living here, tea. This house leaves many memories of the father, mother and adit. But I can't even afford to live here. In this house too I lost the people I loved.”

The Goddess' cry broke out shortly after saying that. In this house he starts a relationship with Aditya, married until he has Arkhan. And in this house Aditya left him forever. Too many memories were created and made his eyes heat up every time he remembered them.

“Sabar, Wi.. Adit's just been gone a few days. It's only natural that your feelings are still sad like this. But time will heal the wounds, and you also have to continue living, for Arkhan's sake. Arkhan is the memory Adit left you, the fruit of your love. Although he is no longer in this world, all the memories and good things are in Arkhan. Make Arkhan your life.”

“Iya, tea. Only Arkhan has kept me alive until now. If there is no Arkhan, it feels like I want to follow the Adit.” mas

“MyStighfar, Wi. Don't talk like that.”

Wiwin pulled the Goddess into his arms. Letting the woman cry in her arms. Adrian and Amir, who were listening from the front room, could only be silent. Adrian lowered his head deeply.

After putting all the items in the car, Adrian said goodbye to Amir and Wiwin. For a moment he looked at the quiet-looking Roxas residence. Looks like his aunt and uncle are not at home. The goddess walked slowly beside Adrian. Amel who saw the coming of the Goddess, immediately approached her.

“Goddess.”

“Tante..”

“How are you doing, baby? You're all right?”

Only a nod can be given by the Goddess. Ame immediately hugged the woman. The Goddess's cry broke again in her arms. Farah, Lia and Titin came to the Goddess. They hugged the boy from Nenden in turn. Feeling sad to see the young Goddess but already left by her husband.

“Nak Rian. please take care of the Goddess. Now Dewi has no one else,” said Farah while shrinking her tears.

“In Shaa Allah, bu.”

“Frequently play here yes, Wi.”

“Iya, bu.”

“We go home first, bu.”

“Iya.”

Adrian walks first towards the car and Dewi follows behind. After opening the door for the Goddess, Adrian moved to the next door. He sat directly behind the wheel. After Dewi wore the seat belt correctly, the man ran his vehicle.

Amel and the others were still standing in place looking at Adrian's car that had come out of the Hajj Soleh rented area. I heard the breathing of the four women. What happened to the Goddess made them aware that death could come at any time, not knowing the time and age.

“Then Adit dies, I don't want to go far from my husband,” Farah chirped.

“Yes, me too. Although sometimes my husband likes to make sprains, but yes it's his art to be married,” Titin also commented.

“Luckily mas Tio has moved here now,” continued Amel.

“Respect and love our husband while still together. Yes even though I like the same gemes. It works every day with birds. Bathed, fed, played. Lah turn of the bird itself tell me to bathe, elus-elus,” continued Lia.

Suddenly Lia's words invite laughter from his three friends. Lia's husband is famous in this contract as a true bird lover. He also likes to sell birds. Not infrequently the birds that are raised are asked to participate in the contest, even RT sir even ketusangan hobby husband of Lia.

" Still mending dielus same mom Lia. Do you want someone else to take care of?" god Titin's.

"Not circumcision of the bird if you dare."

"Haha..."

“Already, ah. Let's look at the fuss first. Definitely again the same bird.”

Lia immediately returned to her contract, followed by the others. Another occupant of this contract is reduced and replaced with a new face. Dewi and Aditya leave, replaced by Amir and Wiwin.
