fate of the porridge

❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️❇️

In a different place, more precisely in Theodore's mansion, Rio's presence was certainly very much expected by Theo's children, they had the same hobbies, and were complementary in friendship. The arrival of Rio yesterday afternoon, not too good for the children of Theo, made Rava and Ravi try to find out the reason why Rio felt so sad, so sad, rio straightforwardly recounted the incident that had just befallen his family in the shophouse, making Rava and Ravi also ignited emotions, why until it happened, and with what reason , suddenly someone hurt his mother's best friend. At dinner they question what actions their parents have taken to avenge the actions of those who hurt Lolita

But Asha must be wise, explaining to the children not to repay evil with evil, all will accept the law of cause and effect, he said, there will be a time when the person who has done bad is picking the fruit of his own deeds, Asha said diplomatically, and of course it makes the children speechless, and digesting the words of Asha, weighing whether this they could accept in their minds, including Rio. Rio was sure that the mother would definitely say the same thing as Asha, but it was still against his little heart, still stored the wounds and grudges in his heart.

Rio felt a little calm, as Bobby made a video call, which showed Lolita's condition, indirectly slightly reduced his discomfort since this afternoon. But there was something that stuck in Rio's heart, when the woman who committed violent acts to Lolita mentioned that Lolita was a widow,

what was the meaning of the widow, until Rio quickly googled what the meaning of the word was, how shocked Rio was to know the meaning of the word. Is there anything that was hidden by his parents all this time, and it should not be known by Rio, if Lolita is a single parent, right, it means that he will never feel the warmth of affection in a whole family again.Tonight Rio increasingly felt increasingly tight in the recesses of his heart, feeling very tired, feeling very tired, until he unconsciously fell asleep by himself .

Morning at Theodore's mansion ,

In time for breakfast, Rava and Ravi were still so happy, when they saw Rio's presence, being in their mansion, even though Rio's mood was still the same as before, even clearly visible in the look of Rio's face that looks so sad, so that makes Rava and Ravi have to rack their brains to comfort Rio

" Rio "

" what do you want "

" this morning breakfast menu" said Ravi opened a small chat before starting their breakfast

" anything, bang" Rio said unhurriedly, Rio trying to toughen up, will be the problem that still lingers in his mind at this time

although the mommy, the dawn had already made a video call, to build Rio fulfill his obligations, take a shower and others before leaving for school, and the mommy also said that he was fine, fine,asking Rio to patiently wait for his return to the shophouse, and for the time being, Rio had to be at Theo and Asha's mansion, until Lolita was finished in the hospital's treatment period

" The Aunty "

" Rio wants to meet mommy" Rio said before they started breakfast today

" good "

" we'll go there "

" but Rio promised well "

" want to go to school first well, Rio is a good boy" said Asha, with the seduction of the coconut island, which bears sweet fruit, a small nod from Rio

At the breakfast session was over, Asha immediately prepared everything the needs of her husband, her children, and Rio...

" Honey" said Theo, looking at the beautiful wife in front of him who was busy fixing the tie...

" honey" said Theo again softly, Asha did not immediately greet Theo, making Theodore glue a hug, and Asha looked at the bead of her husband's eyes,. Implied sadness inside Asha's bead of eyes

" well "

" this time it happened "

" i don't want Lolly to have this again "

" if it happens again, then I am the one who will separate them" Theo said carefully, holding back the turmoil of feelings in his heart

Asha knows, if her husband also experiences inner burdens, one of her best friends, and the other of her best friend Asha, while they as matchmakers, certainly experience turbulence over their best friend relationship

Asha returned the embrace of her husband

" The Bee "

" i hope they'll be together soon "

" they're good people "

" may God bless their path of love" Asha said sincerely

" may God bless them, Amen" said Theo sincerely

" my "

" Daddy" said Rava and Ravi simultaneously, who rose several octaves because their parents were inside the master room

" well, mommy "

" well at home, well "

" if you go to visit Lolita, tell me, baby"

" we go first" Theo hugged and kissed his wife

alternately they embrace and give a kiss to Asha both Rava, Ravi, and Rio

in a different city in S,

Somehow Evan felt bad, he was overwhelmed with anxiety. I don't know what made him feel uncomfortable...

" The Van "

" you have been daydreaming "

" what are you thinking, son ? " said Zubaidah curiously

" i don't know, Mom "

" why is Evan's heart and feelings unsettled "

" from last night" Evan said in frustration

" eat well "

" it is not good to eat food with sadness, especially until daydreaming "

" pamalik, son" said Zubaidah giving advice to his son Evan. While the father Hamid just stared without commenting. Evan followed the advice of the mommy without giving a rebuttal as usual,

well how else, rice has become porridge...

what to throw away the porridge...

currently, Evan tries to process the fate of porridge into a dish that is worth eating, by adding various side dishes, soups and so on, making it a delicious porridge to eat

This is just a term from the parable of a failure, whereas in the real sense , Evan begins to correct his bad attitude and behavior, becoming better by improving himself, equipping himself with monotheistic science, not accepting, but trying to accept the fate of his marriage that ran aground due to his own actions,..

There are children among them, who must be guarded his heart, even though he has never met the former, communication they still intertwine, especially when asking for news, or other small things, or,such as Rio's needs that have not been fulfilled by Lolita, and the shipment for Rio, which is still mandatory fulfilled by Evan

.matter that Rio got, unlike the other child of the divorce victim, which in the iron-either was not even given by the father

Rio was lucky enough, the daddy exceeded the nominal set by the judge for Rio's needs. Lolita sometimes warns Evan, to send a living to Rio naturally every month, but Evan seems blind and deaf, not heeding the complaints of the former. Not only that, sometimes Evan still sends a sum of money, with a digit that is not small, apart from the monthly compensation that Rio gets, with the reason for Rio's snacks, for Rio's clothes, for Rio,and so forth, the reasons made by Evan

In fact, one of the other reasons in Evan's heart, still loves his ex-wife, while Evan no longer has the right to give a living to the ex ,rio's need was a reasonable reason as Evan's hidden intent shield. But too innocent Lolita considers the reason Evan is right, money that has been very excessive, in contrast to the time of his status before, making Lolita took the initiative to open Rio savings and deposits, money the results of Evan and himself, daddy,for the education of Rio. The breakfast session in Mr. Hamid's family finished Mr. Hamid began to read the newspaper, sitting on the porch of his house.

Since a few months, and in the second year after her divorce, Evan prefers to live and live in her parents' residence. Evan feels like he can better protect himself, from the temptations of his friends, than he lives in his apartment,

currently Evan has just bought a new apartment as his residence and sold an old apartment that has bitter memories for him , where Evan did some bad actions with women, including, or just hanging out with his friends who have a negative influence on him.

In the new apartment, owned by Evan occasionally he comes and visits if Evan comes home from work too late, or when when he misses his son and wife, because he was too embarrassed to show the lowest side in front of his parents. Evan takes time for himself, just to vent his regret, sadness, who still gnawed at the deepest recesses of his heart, crying, screaming, even wailing his stupidity, his mistakes.

Evan stood in front of the glass, without him realizing that since then Evan monologued with himself to remember the times - life with Lolita, what was done by Lolita, what was done by Lolita, and what was done by her, serving her painstakingly, like at this time when Evan was about to leave for work, Lolita must have put a tie on, now she deftly put a tie on her own, tidied up a suit, put Evan socks and shoes on, and put on a pair of shoes, even drove Evan to the front of the house, then greeted Evan with reverence, while developing a sweet smile, until the car was not visible to Lolita

" what is your daydream, Van ? " say Zubaidah

" Aakhs "

" it's nothing, Mom" said Evan, covering up the real feeling

" something disturbs your mind, son "

" mommy sees your behavior not as usual "

" mommy can feel your anxiety" said Zubaidah curiously

" i don't know, Mom "

" evan's feelings are not calm "

" Evan doesn't know what it is" Evan said with a frown

" istighfar and ber sholawat "

" god willing can help your thoughts and feelings calm down, son" said Zubaidah giving advice to Evan, who bore a nod to the head of Evan

After kissing the back of his parents' palms with reverence, Evan now says hello, and saying goodbye to the car for him to drive to his company, which is now getting faster, now more and more, because he's starting to focus on getting his life back together

" Dad" said Zubaidah briefly

" Hm" said Hamid just cleared his throat, who was still focused on reading the newspaper, while continuing to flip every piece of newspaper that Hamid had read

" Mommy is grateful Evan is now better, "

" however, why not before they divorced "

" God knocks on Evan's heart "

" so it does not need to be like this the fate of our favorite grandson, Rio "said Zubaidah with the nelangsa

" the Istighfar, Mom "

" attagfirullah Allazim" said Hamid

" everything is God's will "

" everything is written in lauhul mahfuzh "

" we are only human "

" must learn to accept with sincerity "

" everything that God has destined us to live "

" and it is obligatory for us to try and pray "

" but what determines our life and even death is only God "

" just be sincere and ridho of his will, point " said Hamid, resolutely but casually, and Zubaidah did the husband's order, to istighfar, to be,begging for forgiveness for his words that were accidentally thrown on his boneless tongue

"Dad "

" what if we match Evan with his son, Mr. Fuadi ? " saidah tried to open the morning chat, while Hamid sipped his coffee

" that's it, Mom "

" Evan is better than ever is enough for us "

" about the soul mate "

" let God meet him "

" our job as parents "

" worship the best for our children and grandchildren "

" and bless the soul mate for our child, and "

" inshaallah if we are sure, God must have given Evan the best mate of the best, aamiin" said Hamid by slipping a prayer for his son

in his heart, Hamid still deeply thought about the fate of his son and grandson . In the twilight of Hamid and Zubaidah, still, had to feel the pain of holding the inner burden that still fell upon them, perhaps God deliberately gave this test, he said,so that His servants always remember and always pray to be given ease, smoothness, and others. It was just that the burden that the two of them felt right now was quite time consuming and mind consuming. Hamid only hoped that there would be wisdom from every test that God gave them.
