Sharing Love: My Mother is a Widow

Weddings

The wedding day has arrived. Everyone is busy with their own tasks.

Mira's three children are also busy pampering her future grandmother. They made his future grandmother laugh happily at their spoiled and funny behavior.

Mira looks very agitated because the kabul ijab event will be done soon. He walked to the designated place. There is already a pengulu father, witness and prospective husband, Raka. Raka smiled looking at Mira, looking graceful and beautiful with a hint of polish on her face. The woman he had loved since college would soon become his wife.

Finished ijab kabul, the next event is the holding of a festive party with a variety of dishes.

Mira sits down with Raka's doctor, who is now her husband.

But Mira is a little unsettled because her best friend Nisa has not yet come.

"What's wrong, why do you look so nervous. Smile, don't let anyone think I'm scouring you" asked Raka.

" I'm waiting for my best friend Nisa. Do you know him?" Mira asked back.

" Know..."

Mira was even more curious about her husband's answer which was only one word. Raka realizes that Mira is very curious and suspicious of him about his relationship with Nisa.

" Dear, look at me. Look at my eyes, these eyes won't lie to you. Are you jealous?" ledek Raka's.

" Who is jealous... I was just curious" replied Mira.

" I'll tell you everything later. But now, focus on our marriage. I want to see my bride happily married to me. Lady Raka..."

" Don't call it that way." said Mira shyly.

" Why, are you ashamed to be my wife?!" tanya Raka looked serious.

" No-no..just if there is no other call more..." Mira stopped saying.

" More friendly? Darling..honey..."

They laugh together and are ashamed of each other.

" New bride please calm down...It's time for the guests to congratulate. Do not make the guests immediately say goodbye to come home because they do not want to disturb you." said Fara.

" I'm sorry Fara, it's the doctor's fault." replied Mira.

" It was my fault, not my dear who started it." Raka replied later.

" You always make me laugh" Mira pinched Raka's waist.

Fara pretended to be upset because the couple did not stop joking and even more showing their affection.

" Well then, I tell everyone to go home" Fara joked.

" Not kidding anymore. Have you always been like this to others?" ask Mira to Raka.

" no. Just to you," answered Raka.

" Why...?"

" I'll tell you later. Now we welcome the guests first" said Raka.

Raka always makes Mira curious.

"Just answer why later" thought Mira.

But Raka seems to be enjoying Mira's curiosity. That way Mira always thinks about it. Raka's mind was childish but right now she wanted to enjoy it.

***

While Raka and Mira are busy receiving wedding congratulations from the guests, outside Nanda is busy carrying out her evil plans.

Nanda was driving towards the bride's car. A specially prepared car to take the bride and groom away.

Apparently Nanda was planning to make the car brake blong. But Nanda does not realize that his actions were recorded by someone from a hidden place. And when Nanda was about to disconnect the brake cord, some unknown person pulled her body violently. They then close Nanda's eyes with a black cloth and bring Nanda to meet someone they call boss.

" Boss sir, here we go. We're doing him boss?!" ask one of them.

" Splap him 2 times. One time for Mira and one time for Raka," the boss sir orders from inside the car.

Those people share the task. Someone held Nanda's body and someone slapped him so hard that Nanda's screams could be heard.

" This is a warning to you. Don't bother Mira's family anymore. Especially hurt them. We have video footage of what you did today.If you do evil again to them, you'll end up in jail," the boss threatens Nanda.

" You don't need to know, because you don't deserve to know. Just listen to my words" replied the boss.

The men took Nanda away in a black van. Nanda could do nothing but accept their treatment. The threat of going to jail was enough to scare Nanda.

***

The bridal car drove slowly away from the wedding party area. They are heading for a pretty big and luxurious house. The house that Raka had prepared for his wife, Mira.

" Welcome to our new home" welcome Raka.

" Is this a surprise...?!" ask Mira.

" Can too. This house has been prepared for my wife for a long time since I first met you back in the village. I thought I couldn't possibly live in your ex's house. Sleep in the same room and bed you've been in" Raka said.

" I understand, doctor sir. But what about the kids..."

" Let's calm down, I've asked Fara to bring the kids here. I know you can't live without them.Now you rest while waiting for the children to come."

" thank you. But I'm still waiting for an explanation from you..."

Raka smiled, apparently his wife was very curious about the story. Before starting to tell the story, Raka asks Mira to sit next to her. Mira only complies when her husband pulls her into his arms. And gave her a little kiss on her red cheek.

Raka started to tell stories.

10 years ago.

Mira walks with some books and she feels overwhelmed. He accidentally hit someone and all his books fell scattered on the floor.

" I'm sorry, I didn't see you earlier." said Mira.

" It's okay, I'm the wrong one standing in the middle of the road" Raka replied while helping Mira pick up her book.

They smile at each other and apologize to each other. Raka looked at Mira's face which seemed to shine in her eyes. This is the beginning of Raka falling in love with Mira.

It turns out Mira often comes to the library like herself. It's just that Raka is too busy studying and not paying attention to the people around her.

That day unintentionally, Raka heard an object fall in front of her. Usually he didn't care, but this time it was as if a magnet was moving his eyes to see what was happening.

His eyes did not blink when he saw the face of a girl coming out from under the table picking up a pencil. His heart rate is getting faster and irregular. Even so, his eyes can not be separated from Mira.

Raka could no longer focus on learning. The books before him that usually make him feel at home reading for hours, now only held by him. While his eyes and mind focused on Mira. But Mira did not know it at all.

Every day, Raka would come early and put a chocolate bar on the table that the young Mira lived at. Raka is very happy when Mira takes her chocolate and keeps it in her bag.

When it rains, Raka also puts an umbrella on Mira's desk so that Mira does not get rained on when she comes home.

Raka tries to muster up her courage to get close to Mira. Basically Raka is a young man who is too busy studying and rarely hangs out with girls his age. Moreover, Mira looks very quiet and also shy.

One day, when Raka puts chocolate on Mira's desk as usual, someone surprises her. She is Nisa, Mira and Nanda's best friend.

" What are you doing?!" ask Nisa.

Raka finally invited Nisa to speak at a cafe to explain.

" It seems you've been giving Mira chocolate all along?" ask Nisa.

" right. But you don't tell her" Raka replied in a panic.

" Wouldn't. I even want to thank you. Because what you've done made them reverse again" said Nisa.

" What do you mean?" tanya Raka did not understand. " I know you must really like my best friend Mira. But Mira already has a lover. They had a fight, but now they've made up because of your attention that Mira thinks of her lover" Nisa told the publication.

Raka is shocked to hear that Mira already has a lover. Especially because they make up.

Since then Raka has only been able to see the woman she loves in secret. This silent love over time tormented him.

Raka decides to confess her feelings to Mira. Nisa who knows it tells Nanda and asks Nanda to be sincere with Mira so that Mira is not captured by others.

Nanda forces Nisa to tell him who the men are who dare to compete with her. With a heavy heart Nisa tells Nanda everything she knows about Raka. About Mira's misunderstanding of Nanda.

Although because of Raka, Nanda can make up with Mira, but Nanda really does not like if Raka wants to express her feelings to Mira.

That day Nanda takes some of her friends to teach Raka a lesson and threatens Raka to stay away from Mira. Raka was battered and had to be hospitalized for several days. Therefore Nisa felt very guilty towards Raka.

Raka finally gives up and cancels her intention to tell Mira that she loves Mira very much.
