The Creak of my Friend's Bed

The Blessing of the Former Mother-in-Law

Mickel and Kirana were also astonished when the car suddenly stopped and Hendrik pulled it over.

"Well, are we going straight home? not to my former mother-in-law's?" ask Hendrik to be sure.

"Astaghfirullah aladzim, mamah to forget because of your papah. Yes Hendrik, we're going straight to your ex-mother-in-law's house. Forgive Mom, Mak, until forgetfulness," said Kayla.

From earlier on the way home, Kayla continued to grumble with Mickel's attitude that never changed when talking seriously must be joking. This often makes Kayla upset. It was not happy but angry.

Hendrik turned his car around because they had gone too far past his former mother-in-law's house.

A few moments later...

The car driven by Hendrik has arrived in the courtyard of his former mother-in-law's house. The house he once occupied with Almarhumah Mey. The house he bought for Almarhumah Mey.

Hendrik immediately received a good reception from his former mother-in-law. And his three sisters-in-law were all male and only one year apart, from fourth, fifth, and sixth grade Elementary.

"Son Hendrik - Bu Kayla - Mr. Mickel."

The mother immediately greeted them and allowed them to sit down.

"Mom, I'd like to talk to you for a second. Look ma'am, I want to ask permission and blessing to remarry" said Hendrik Agsk a little hesitant.

"Who would you marry if you could find out?" tanyanya.

Hendrik told his mother everything until he understood.

"Haduhhhh... suddenly the look on my face is cloudy like that huh? lest the mother will refuse," her inner self began to worry.

Hendrik turned his head towards Kayla showing a face of anxiety, and Kayla understood that, she patted Hendrik's thigh slowly, nodding slowly.

Kayla tried to calm Hendrik's agitated heart, frantically mixed into one.

"Son Hendrik, if you remarry, you'll forget your mother and three sisters-in-law?" ask your ex-mother-in-law.

"Astaghfirullah aladzim, I'm not like that ma'am. My mother and sisters will forever be a part of my family. And I will support you forever, for this is my responsibility. And you will forever stay in this house" Hendrik assured his former mother-in-law.

"Where would you like to live if you were married?" ask the mother again.

Hendrik smiled, "mother don't have to worry about me. Most importantly I will not break my promise to Almarhumah Mey, to always take care of my mother and sisters. So you never have negative thoughts again. So am I allowed to marry again?" hendrik asked his former mother-in-law.

"Yes, son Hendrik, I allow and even approve you. May it last and not happen unwanted things yes. I'm sorry that my mother and my three late sisters' lifetime Mey has been a burden to you" she said.

For a moment Kayla and Mickel advised her never to hesitate. Because it is not only Hendrik who has recognized the mother and sisters of Almarhumah Mey as family and brothers. But also Kayla and Mickel.

"Mother, we have also considered Mey's late mother and sisters as part of our family. So no need to hesitate if one day you need help or something, just tell us" Kayla said.

"Subhanallah, thank you Miss Kayla-Pak Mickel."
