The Toga Rahayu

Assalamualaikum Malang's

In the morning Rahayu woke up as usual to worship and rushed to the kitchen to help the mother there to prepare food. Although Reno is no longer there, Rahayu still runs a routine for cooking like when there is Reno.

That morning Rahayu's mother and father had not returned to the house they deliberately wanted to accompany his son for the next few days. When all the food is ready and served neatly at the dining table Rahayu immediately called her parents-in-law and parents for breakfast together.

Simple and easy breakfast, food every member of fried rice ala Rahayu complete with omelet that is coupled with crackers, not to forget a variety of warm drinks are also served there.

All had gathered together at the dinner table to enjoy breakfast, there was a little sadness approaching Rahayu not when she saw the father who ate with her mother. As well as the mother who was with her father, while she was only able to glance at the chair next to her which was in fact empty.

“Should be Reno beside me”.

Sometimes that unwillingness was still left in his mind.

In the silence of breakfast, Reno's father opened the conversation.

“Rahayu anyone want me to tell nak”.

Father paused his words by looking at me, as if waiting for an answer whether I was ready or not to listen to the words of the next father.

“Iya daddy”.

I handed him a brown envelope.

“This what is yah?”.

“Just open nak”.

I opened the envelope with a feeling of anxiety.

“Certificate home well?”.

“Iya it's the house that Reno bought, the plan is that the house will be the residence of you two”.

Rahayu shook her head.

“No well this is too much for me”.

“No boy, you deserve this, aren't you Reno's wife. So please accept this”.

Rahayu looked at her parents, as if a gesture asking for advice on what to do.

Realizing that both of Rahayu's parents only nodded their heads.

“Rahayu son, just accept we already consider you like our own child, the house is built Reno specially for you, so please do not refuse”.

Mother spoke up by looking at me penh hope.

“Oh yes Yu one more, I hope after this you can continue your master school again, it is up to you to take where. Inside ok abroad also not what”.

“Daddy has high hopes of extinguishing, later after completing education, you can continue the business that Reno has pioneered since long ago”.

“Kasian nak many people who depend on living on the business that has been pioneered Reno”.

“But well there is still Rania?”.

“Rania jga will take care of my father's business, Reno and Rania already have their respective portions according to what I determined earlier, because fate said another with Reno that died then you have to replace him”.

Rahayu kemabli saw her mother and father.

“Continue your education son, you have helped the family a lot. Thanks to your efforts our family is now more than enough. Father and mother's financial condition is better, so don't worry about us”.

Rahayu said as she looked at her eldest daughter, not forgetting the mother who smiled and held her son's hand as if agreeing with what her father said.

“For now maybe I still have a strong son to work, but for the next few years the young who should work”.

Rahayu nodded her head in accepting her father-in-law's offer.

“Don't worry about having a father friend's son who will help you run Reno business, I've discussed about this with his parents”.

“Father mother if Rahayu can choose, may if Rahayu continue the master in Malang course”.

“Please son if that is what you want then continue, by going to school again you will get experience and new friends. You will also have a lot of activities, which can slightly entertain your heart nak”.

“One more Reno will definitely also be happy when you can continue school again and get back up”.

Rahayu rearranged her heart, for Reno she will continue her school and run a business that has been pioneered Reno for a long time.

Two weeks ago I set foot on the land of Malang, a cold land with a million memories. I want to open a new chapter starting a new life here.

Now I no longer live in Sumber Sari kosan as when completing my undergraduate education. Dad bought me a special house in the Jewel of Orange. Actually I have refused because to me this is too much.

Father and mother chose to buy a house in the elite area of Permata Jingga not for reason, they said for the sake of comfort and security while living there because I was in Malang alone without brothers. In addition, if you buy a house, your father and mother will be easy when you want to visit me and spend the night there.

While studying for this master's degree I am also not allowed to take scholarships, let the scholarship be for those who really need it. Father and mother facilitated all my needs during master education here.

Father and mother also gave up all of Reno's property including ATMs and cars. I refused many times about this but unfortunately my father and mother did not accept rejection. They say that I am entitled to all this and they already regard me as their own child.

With all the comfort that I can at this time of course I do not use it at will. I am still Rahayu who was once a simple Rahayu and what it is. I will take care of all the treasures of Reno like the provisions of religious teachings that I profess. Is not it the duty of the wife to guard her husband's property.

As was the custom of Reno, I will still send funds for the operation of the orphan boarding school as he used to do. Of course, using Reno money. I hope that this will make a finger for the Reno mas in nature there.

The distance of the house in Permata orange and campus is quite far if it is traveled by foot, while the vehicles available here are only cars and I can not drive it.

The first week in Malang I spent with a course driving a car of course all this with the permission of my father, mother and both parents.

***

This morning I stepped into a new Rahayu, although my current status is a widow but I do not lose if I have to be with other students who are still naked hehehe.

Oh yes for this master education I still take up agriculture only it will focus more on its business. Because I will continue the Reno business.
