The Love of the Widow

Chapter 45. Randy's Parents Home

The application event went well.

My mom and dad came from the village.

The wedding date is set for another two months.

In accordance with the agreement, the wedding will be held in a simple manner at the boarding school Darussalam owned by Kyai Ma'aruf.

Only family and close friends as well as the lodge santri will be guests in our wedding later.

"Bismillah... Launch everything, O ALLAH!!" whispered in my heart.

I go back to my past, when Randy's family came to propose to me.

Everything was re-recorded in my memory.

I was crying so much.

"Why are you, son? " ask Mom to me.

"I miss Randy and Ainara Buk!! " i hugged him and cried.

"Naakk. Soon you will be a wife again. I pray that after this happiness will come back with you. Randy and Ainara will remain for as long as they can in your memories. I'm sure they're happy up there for you..!! Pray a lot, son.. Smoga ALLAH will direct all your affairs towards marriage. Aamij!! " Mom said while wiping tears on my cheeks.

"Aamiin..!! " pilot.

I told Aunt Rahmi to go to the store.

"Tante. coming home from Aina's shop will go to Randy's late parents' house and maybe stay there. So Aina's not coming home tonight! " i said as I endured it and kissed her cheek.

"Alright. carefully bring the vehicle yes..!! " he said to me.

I'm nodding.

All day long I was busy taking care of the store, making a variety of cake orders from the customers.

"Assalamualaikum candidate Bini.. Busy again, huh? there was no news all day. "the sound of the WA message from Gege that I had just read after all the work was done.

"Vaalaikumsalam.. Sorry yeah.. His message was just read. all day busy making cakes order customer. You again What? " let me reply to his WA message.

"Be busy thinking of Bini candidate. 😁 "answer.

I smiled to myself reading a short message from him.

Having a much younger husband-to-be made me feel like a young woman who was being drunk with a crush from her boyfriend.

"It can be you.. 😀😀😅. Ohya, tonight I am staying at the home of the late Randy's parents... I haven't been there in a long time. All you want to tell me about our wedding plans" I said again.

"okay.. Greetings to the family of the deceased! " he said ending his message.

"GOD's Inshaa will be delivered! " reply me again.

After I got home from work, I went straight to my ex-in-law's house.

"Assynolajet.. " Say me while clutching the door of the house.

"Waalaikum... " I heard the voice of Mama Randy answering my greetings and opening the door for me.

"Alhamdulillah healthy Mama.. Healthy mom? " let me go back.

"Alhamdulillah.. Come inside! " he said again as he walked into the house.

I followed him from behind.

"At any moment want magrib, we pray first yes.. Randy's room isn't locked" Mama told me again.

"Thank you mama. "I said to her again.

I went into the room. On the front wall of the bed is still attached a picture of my wedding with Randy.

Underneath it was a long table displaying three photos of the three of us with Ainara.

I sat on the edge of the bed.

My tears are dripping again.

"Rand.. In two months I'm getting married.. I beg your blessing yes..!! " i said speaking to Randy's picture.

"Nara's.. Mama tipped Papa yes son... She's in the next month Mama's getting married. But that doesn't mean you're forgetting you. For Mama.. You guys stay alive and have your own place in your heart forever..!! " i said to Nara's photo.

The voice of Azan Magrib roused me from daydreams.

I hurried to perform the Maghrib prayer.

After dinner, I sat back in front of the TV with Mama and my Father-in-law as well as Bang Umar and Kak Mila.

"Mama.. Papa's.. Aina wants permission to marry again..! " say slowly to them.

Everyone shut up and looked at me.

I bow my face to the table in front of me.

"When's the plan? " ask Mama to me.

"GOD Inshaa in two months Ma" I replied still bowed.

"Aena... Mom and Dad have no right to forbid you from remarrying. Without asking us for permission, you and your family have the right to determine your future.. It's been three years that Randy and Ainara left us.. Papa sure it's not easy for you to go through all this. We can only wish you the best, son..!! " Papa-in-law said to me.

My watery eyes I can no longer hold.

I reflexively kissed her hand while sobbing.

He rubbed my head slowly.

Her mother-in-law then hugged me from behind.

I turned my body, and cried in his arms.

"Restu And our prayers are always for you son... For us you are not just a daughter-in-law, but we already consider her like a child. May you be happy, son..!! " said Mama hugged me.

"Aamiya.. Thanks mom..!! " my word to him.

"Congratulations on deck.. Smoga all went well! " Mak Mila said to me.

"Aamiya.. Thanks brother.. Thank you Bang "my answer to him Mila and Bang Umar.
