The Heart of Raisya

A Widow

Since the meeting between me and Faisal at Sofi's house, we've never met again. Right now I'm busy with the grade-up exam. As a 8B homeroom teacher, I began to record the values I had to input.

I'm in the office right now, because it's time for a break.

"Mom Raisya!" Miss Lilik called me. He is one of the English Teachers in our school. He is 30 years old and is a PNS.

"Yes ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Ep..Ma'am Raisya I want to ask you something, but please don't take it personally." Ms. Lilik shifted her chair and approached me.

"God, ma'am, ask me what?"

"Sorry Mom, is it true that Ms Raisya has been married?" Miss Lilik asked carefully. No one in school knew I was a widow. Because my ID card is still listed unmarried. When I got married, I didn't have time to create a new Family Card. So my data is still fused with the Abi Family Card.

"Yes mom, I used to get married. About two years ago. Why did you suddenly ask that question?" I never wanted to hide my status. I'll answer as is.

"Mom knows Laras? Her husband's name is Andi working at her shorum."

"I don't know Laras, but I know Andi, What's wrong Mom?

"Laras asked about Ms. Raisya to me. Because I know Ms. Raisya, yes.. I answered as was. Then she told me that her husband had an ex who was not approved by his mother because he was a widow. Andi is forced to leave her ex, then marry Laras. Laras still does not seem to accept that the ex-husband is Bu Raisya. That's why he's still looking around to find out about Ms. Raisya. And it just so happened that Ms. Raisya was in the same place as me."

"Any mom, why doesn't she accept, Andi is already her husband! They even have children of course. Because as far as I know when I met last time, she was pregnant. And although I am a widow, I have never disturbed anyone else's household. There's nothing in it for me, and I'm most lazy to relate to Mom's past. So she doesn't have to worry that I'll take her husband."

"Yes Bu Raisya, I am also actually not too respectful with Laras, the person is indeed a bit arrogant. I guess Laras just made up about Bu Laras! Yes, Mother said, even if the widow does not act, it will not be underestimated! That's all I wanted to ask Mom. Sorry to be so sassy, ma'am.

"Yes ma'am, it's okay! No problem for me."

Finally the entrance bell rang, we went into the classroom to guard the exam. After the exam, the children are allowed to go home. As usual before I go home, I go to the office first. And at 1pm we came home from school. I brought the Mathematics Maple Answer Sheet that was done earlier by the Students, to be corrected at home.

...----------------...

After finishing the exam, as usual the school will take a break. School-hike holiday this time for two weeks. For two weeks, I'll probably just fill it up at home. Or maybe I'll go visit Baby Zie. Very happy with her cheeks.

This morning I was alone at home, Ummi and Abi went to the store. On holiday, I put my thorns to clean the house. I heard my HP ringing in the room. I immediately took it, apparently there was a call from Mbak Rindi.

"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikum greetings, Ma'am.Tumben call me! what's up?"

"Rai, tomorrow's the twins' birthday. This is Rai's show! So I haven't told you decorators. The plan is small! But it turns out Mas Rendi is his office friend."

"Keep..His relationship with me what is Ma'am?"

"My sweet sister, you want help!"

"Well.smell this mode!"

"Hehe.. Ask for decorations from balloons! You are Rai's creative person! I'm sure you can. The simple thing, the important thing is there. The plisss!!!!

"No, not my wrong guess! There's gotta be something she wants."

"But you want to, right, Rai? Yea, huh? You stay at Ma'am's house tonight. We make decorations together. There is a way on YouTube as well."

"What if I want, what's the reward?" I asked, just kidding.

"Now that's Rai! Your nephew! Gini aja, later Ma'am love you mate."

"Yush..!! Mother of God? Yes, yes, yes I would. Later in the afternoon I go there, want to say goodbye to Abi."

"Alhamdulillah, you are good! Emmuah...!!

"Dih, what the hell is Ma'am! Really talented! Sofi's been told by you?

"Yes, I invited you. Let Baby Zie bring a big gift for his sister."

"Haha..." We laughed together.

I continued my work. After washing my clothes, I ironed my clothes. Continue with cooking, so that later home from the store Ummi and Abi can immediately have lunch.

In the afternoon, I was ready to go to Rindi's house. His house is located in Pondok Halim Perdana Kusuma. Mas Rendy accidentally bought a house in the suburbs close to his office.

I say goodbye to Ummi and Abi.

"Send our greetings to them, the card follows suit, Rai."

"Okay Ummi, Rai left first. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Reply Ummi and Abi simultaneously.

I went with the white man to Rindi's house. There is already Om Rudi and Aunt Santi, his parents, Madam Rindi. Om Rudi is Ummi's oldest brother. He is a retired PNS DISPENDUK.

"Alone Rai? Ummi and Abimu didn't come?

I approached them, and kissed the back of their hands.

"No, I'm busy again. They're nitip greetings to you." I turned to ask Aunt Santi. "Where else is Auntie, how lonely?"

"Still balloon shopping, make a tail he said. The twins are coming, your oms are just as dizzy when I tell them to wait for them."

"haha.yeah Auntie, they are very active."

It was almost night, and the time for Maghrib prayers arrived. We pray together, Om Rudi who becomes our priest. Mbak Rindi just came after we finished praying.

"Where are you, Rai?"

"From yesterday, Ma'am! It's a long time to go shopping!" We like to joke. I kissed the back of Rindi's hands. That's what I usually do.

"Ah you could! What shop? Your nephew! There's just a wish. Ma'am again shopping balloons, which one asked to buy a mini tent the same robot. The one asking barbie's house. My head twists!"

"That's how you and Mas Rendy are doing, Ma'am!"

"Haha." We laughed together.

"If you really like it, Rai! Yes, I want to pray first. We are executing! Later Robi said she wanted to come here with her boyfriend, want to help also."

Robi is his sister Mbak Rindi, almost the same age as Sofi. Two months younger than Sofi.

I heard a car coming. Om Rudi's car is here, Robi can't take a car. Because Om Rudi only has one car, and Robi usually uses his favorite motorcycle.

Whose car is coming? Is it possible that Om Riudi bought another car? or are there other guests?
