Sharing Love: My Mother is a Widow

Weddings

Nanda and Rosa go to Rosa's parents' house to ask for her blessing after getting a letter of approval from Mira.

Rosa's parents are furious to learn that Rosa in Semarang is not the college they wanted. She became a mistress, even now pregnant.

Child of another woman's husband.

Nanda and Rosa explain with great difficulty that they love each other and want to get married. Nanda also promised to treat Rosa well. Rosa no longer needs to go to college and think about her future. Nanda will be responsible for giving a decent living to Rosa and her son.

But Rosa's parents still reject Nanda's intentions. Especially since Nanda already had a legitimate wife. Although Nanda has shown a letter of approval from his first wife Mira. If he wants to marry Rosa, Nanda must divorce her first.

Nanda refuses to divorce Mira as long as she is willing to be his wife and raise her children.

Nanda will marry Rosa as his second wife.

Rosa's father seemed angry at Nanda's decision. Rosa hears of a dispute between her father and Nanda. Rosa tried to bring her father and mother into the middle room to give them understanding.

" Dad, don't bother Nanda. Nanda has his own difficulties."

" Rosa, we're doing this for you and your son's future."

" Father's mother, Rosa knows. But now Rosa is pregnant, if Mas Nanda changes her mind and does not want to take responsibility how?" Rosa tried to calm her father.

" Rosa is right sir. Don't be too demanding, which will make things difficult for our daughter." Added Rosa's mother.

" Dad, trust Rosa. Rosa will do her best for the future of Rosa and the children of Rosa."

" Rosa, are you ready to be a second wife? The mental burden and humiliation you will receive from the people around you will be very painful." Rosa's father was very worried about Rosa.

" Rose is ready with all the risks. Rosa will not be affected by the talk of people who do not like the status of Rosa." Rosa said confidently.

Eventually, Rosa's parents allow them to marry Siri with a letter of agreement to protect Rosa.

The agreement included that Nanda would never divorce Rosa no matter what. Nanda must accept Rosa's son from a previous marriage and consider him like his own. That Nanda would not put Rosa in trouble especially material life.

The wedding party was held quite simply. Only close relatives of the Rosa family were present. From Nanda's side, there was certainly no one present.

Nanda hasn't told her parents about her third marriage yet. Nanda doesn't know how her parents reacted after learning Nanda's remarried. After the wedding ceremony, Nanda tries to contact Mira to inform her that Nanda and Rosa are married.

" Hello, pa." Mira's soft voice sounded faint.

" Hello, ma. Today, papa and Rosa are married siri. Thanks ma. Papa won't be coming home for a while."

" Do your parents know if you're getting married again?" Mira held back her crying voice.

" No ma, later after coming home just said. Hello ma..."

Mira hangs up before Nanda finishes talking. Nanda just sighed.

While Mira held back her tears after learning of her husband's series marriage to Rosa. Mira felt no need to continue crying for her happy husband there. He also had to move on and not stop here.

If her husband no longer cared for her, she was the one who had to care for herself. There was still his daughter, there was still his mother who loved him, and there was his sister Fara who cared about him. For their sake, Mira was able to endure all the suffering.

But what about Nanda's parents?

Although neither Mira nor Nanda ever told her about her third marriage, but the best way to hide the carcass would be to smell too.

Nanda's actions on Mira became a warm conversation in the surrounding community. At first Nanda's parents did not believe, because as far as they knew Nanda already had two wives, there was no way Nanda would marry another woman again.

But when some people give evidence of Nanda and Rosa's photographs, they go into shock until her father falls ill. Mira patiently takes care of her father-in-law with her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law felt ashamed of Mira, because she had asked Mira to be married to Desy.

" Mira, do you believe what people say about your husband?" Ask her mother-in-law.

" Mom, don't think too much about what they're saying. I'll also be sick like my father-in-law." Mira tried to calm her mother-in-law.

" Mira, don't you believe me? They just want to find Nanda's fault. Nanda's not what they say." He said as if he wanted to run away from the reality in front of him.

" Yes, mom. Mira knows. Mira according to mother."

Mira is sad to see her mother-in-law unable to accept reality. What would happen if Nanda told her directly about her third marriage?

People talk bad about Nanda mas. Br*ngs*k male, baj*ngan, married and sowing seeds here and there. Have kids everywhere. This is what I found out, how the others.

What hurt Nanda's parents most were those who said that "what was this that her parents taught her and was this the result of their upbringing?

Men who have absolutely no respect and no respect for women."

Words that are very heart-piercing and directly affect the quality of Nanda's parents' upbringing.

Mira became the most compassionate woman and was considered a victim. But Mira does not want to be pitied which will only make her feel even worse and desperate.

Mira hopes that even though she is no longer in need of her husband, at least she can still be a daughter-in-law needed by her in-laws when they are in trouble and sick.

" Thank you Mira, you are willing to take care of your father-in-law even if your husband has treated you badly. I'm so ashamed of you for Nanda's behavior."

" Mom, what Mas Nanda did was not your fault. You don't have to ask for my help. Mira's mom's daughter-in-law and will forever be devoted to you."

" Nanda may be blind, unable to see and appreciate a good woman like you Mira. Where else could he find a woman like you. Those wives aren't worth you, Mira."

" Thank you ma'am. Mother praised me too much, but Mira was glad you could appreciate my sincerity."

Mira hugged her mother-in-law who was still in a sad state. Mira is happy to make her mother-in-law understand her position as a wife who hurt her husband. Mira also needs the support of those closest to her, including Nanda's parents. Mira will try to survive until she feels she will not be able to survive one day.
