Safaries
The safarah 7



Virhan walked closer to me.


" It's a mas?"


" It's been." He answered with a changed face.


He held his phone back, turned it on and then pressed the dead button.


" Why shut down?" Many wonder.


" I don't want to be disturbed today."


" What did mom say, Mom?"


" As usual, where's your Virhan? I want to get married and work. Uh. Until when I can patiently face my mama, Safarah. For mama's sake, there's too much I'm betting on." Curse it with me


" Isn't your mother your paradise?"


" Well, is there still heaven on the soles of a mother's feet if a mother asks her child for a divorce? Does God hate divorce?" Ask Virhan again.


" Safarah.today I always ask Allah to unite us again. It was my only prayer, Safarah." Virhan's voice began to tremble.


" Patience, mas. We can't fight destiny."


" Safarah..we just get out of here, yuk?"


" What do you mean?"


" We're moving out of here. We both live. Start life from zero."


" Then mama? Can you choose to live with me and let an old mama live alone? What if my mom suddenly got sick? Or worse fall? Do you imagine your mom living alone in that rich big house? Ckck.mas if you want to talk about it yeah mbok thought well." My advice to Virhan.


I also don't want to make Virhan mas an ungodly child.


" We forget about mom. I met you, because I missed."


" Duh.candidate newlyweds are good at dreadlocks now." My bibs on Virhan.


Virhan pinched my nose, "it hurts."


For a moment we both fell silent.


" We're shopping yuk?"


"What shopping?"


" Shirt, jewelry."


" No need to bother, ma'am."


" How to repot? You have rights over me and my property."


Without waiting for my response, Virhan brought me to the shopping mall.


We were going around aimlessly.


Mas Virhan pulled my hand into a dress shop, "his clothes are attractive. Pick some."


" some? Crazy you, mas." I chuckle.


Virhan chose a fancy robe. " Make you."


" Thank you, ma'am." My words are full of haru.


After spending time together, our time together ended.


" Fast pass by, "


We looked at each other,


The cup! Virhan landed a kiss right on my lips.


" False fool "I scowl.


" Kangen." Virhan Mas grinned, mad,


" I'm down yeah, mas. Happy new life, my. May it last and quickly get a baby."


" Can I hug?"


I hugged Virhan mas, long and permeated every skin we touched.


I kissed my husband's cheek one last time and immediately got out of the car.


Honestly, right now I am holding back my tears. I don't want Virhan to catch my tears falling.

A thrilling day is in sight. Since morning, I've only been confused. Confused, want to come or.at home only. If I am present, then I must prepare myself. Do not let guests who come just look pity at me.


" Mr..not ready yet?" Nadia approached me with a neat look.


" Do you think you should attend?" I asked the young girl for an opinion that I considered much more mature.


" If I think yes you should be present. Prove to them that mbak otu is wonder woman." Nadia said, raising both hands.


" Is that so?"


" Yup! Now I'm taking a shower and a beautiful one." Nadia pushed my hand.


I also rushed to shower.


Well.this is the time I proved to my mother-in-law that until this moment I still stand.


I put makeup polish on my face, casual but still fresh.


Virhan's handout clothes and choices accompany my adventure today.


" Are you ready!" Nadia's voice always gives a spirit effect.


" Bismilbornrahmanirrahim.hopefully no drama of tears." Hope in my heart.


Nadia and I booked a rental car to get to Virhan's house.


After a few minutes, we finally arrived at a house that was installed. The marriage contract this time was held at Virhan mas according to mother's request.


The house is crowded with guests. My heart is beating fast. " Oh my God, don't until I look weak."


I'm shaking my mama. My mother greeted me with a friendly smile.


The embrace of a new mother-in-law this time I felt throughout the marriage.


" safarahs... Thanks for taking Virhan off." Mama said with tears. I don't know what made this middle-aged woman cry.


" For the sake of mama's happiness, I am willing to return a whole mas Virhan to mama. May Virhan's marriage last with Fatimah. And.may Virhan and Fatimah be able to give you a grandchild soon." My prayer sincerely.


" Mama's sorry.because it hurt you while being your daughter-in-law."


Mama.andai this hug I got first while being the wife of Virhan mas...


Of course I will be the happiest person in the world.


Kabul's work is about to begin. Virhan and Fatimah sat together. Neighbors around mom's house started to prick. Not infrequently some look at me pity.


Mas Virhan has already shaken the hand of a man who became the guardian of Fatimah's marriage. Looks like it's his brother.


" I accept Fatimah bint Subroto's marriage with the dowry kasiii...." One breath, Virhan managed to say the ijab qabul.


" legitimate...." There was a clear voice from the witnesses present.


The falling crystalline granules melted down my face. I can't control this tear.


I never imagined if someday Virhan mas will say ijab qabul with other women.


I'm down. I can't seem to look at the world. One of my follies was attending my husband's wedding ceremony.


" Safety..." Call Virhan mas.


I can't believe Virhan came to me.


Virhan hugged me tightly. We were crying out to each other. I have no power to endure the tightness in my chest.


" I'm sorry Safarah.." Virhan sobbed and hugged me. " It's not my will, please don't ever hurt me, Safarah..."


The atmosphere of the wedding this time is like a drama on a flying fish show. Everyone who was there was crying with us. Fatimah included. I'm sure no one wants to be in Fatimah's position.


Fatimah was a victim of my mother's selfishness. And I never held the slightest grudge against Fatimah. I believe, Fatimah is a good woman who can take care of Virhan much better than me.


Fatimah approached us. We hugged three. At this moment we don't care about other people's jobs.


" Sir.forgive me..." Fatimah was crying as she pleased."


" There's no need to apologize, Fatimah. Be a good wife to Virhan." My message to Fatimah.


Really am! This is the most blue moment of my life...
