The Love of the Widow

Chapter 7. Me Vs Mother-in-Law.

One week long Me and Mas Rayhan did not say hello.

We never even prayed together again.

I am not a modern person.

I'm just a taboo village girl.

What Mas Rayhan has done in his past is disgusting.

After Isha's prayer, I lay down to the dressing table.

My mind is far from contemplating the fate of my household now.

"Yes ALLAH what should I do? " i am in my heart.

I saw Mas Rayhan coming out of the bathroom and immediately doing Isha prayers.

I closed my sleepless eyes again.

I took a long breath.

"Aina... They need help and support from you. How long until we don't talk to each other like this? You need your support to heal!!! please...!!?!! " said Mas Rayhan who suddenly knelt down kissing my feet.

I was shocked and got out of bed.

"Mas.. I That's not your Mother. The one you have the right to kiss her feet is Mom, not me!! " answer me with a sufficient tone

tall.

"Aina please!!!. You are the only hope. Only you know about this disease. Please help me.. !! I need your support. please!!! I can't be honest with my parents. They would be very angry and devastated if they knew. Please Aina..!! " he said again crying and kissing my hand.

My heart feels very touched.

"Alright Mas. I'll just try to stay and give you the support I can. But you have to promise to get well and get back to normal!! " i told him.

He nodded quickly.

"Mas is in therapy. Inshaa ALLAH will soon be healed. I need your forgiveness and your support. please!! " he said to me again.

I'm nodding.

***

This morning I woke up with a slightly relieved heart.

I hope Mas Rayhan really repents and soon recover from the curse.

I'm going down to the dining table.

"For Ma'am.. "Sapa Mbak Nanik also to me.

"Tumben down breakfast!!?" my mother-in-law got out of her room.

Last week I never had breakfast or dinner together.

I was really disappointed yesterday.

"Sorry Buk. Yesterday was a lot of work in the office. Because the monthly closing so early in the morning already have to be in the Office and must be overtime too" I replied to give an excuse.

"Then stop working!! proved you can not take care of your husband because it is too busy working? is it indeed his monthly given less Rayhan? what do you need for a month?" ask her in a very taut tone.

My heart is so sad to hear it.

"Sorry Buk is not a less monthly issue than Mas Rayhan. It's just it's a pity that I have to quit my job now. I am not used to just sitting at home. Inshaa ALLAH later if I have children I will stop and focus on family only" I replied slowly.

"How can you have children if you're busy?" the insinuation is on me.

I just shut up.

I'd love to tell her that I'm still a virgin until this very moment.

"Astagfirulah.. " I took a long breath.

" You should remember your purpose in marrying Rayhan to give us a grandchild soon. If you are too busy working, go home tired of how you can possibly get children. Rayhan that's our only son, the heir to the lineage. I don't want him to marry the wrong woman. Selfish and pretentious woman to be a career woman!! " She told me very carefully.

"Astagfirullah." I whispered in my heart.

My eyes started to glaze over.

I saw Mas Rayhan coming down from the top floor towards us.

"Aina leaves first Buk! " i said without caring.

"Where? Had breakfast? Ask Rayhan to me.

"Udah. I'm first, Mas. You just got a call from the office" I said while greeting Mas Rayhan.

The sound of a motor rushing me to the Office.

I felt warm in my eyes.

along the way I can only be privileged.

"Astagfirullah. Strengthen Me O ALLAH!! " my spirit is in my heart.
