There Will Be Rainbows After Rain

Episode 17's

Hanum just came out of the room, he heard the sound of Irena's motor. He closed the door and walked to the front door. Irena was getting ready to leave in black clothes and a hijab covered her chest.

"Bugelina .. " Hanum came to Irena.

"Astaghfirullah who died son? Where are you going?" ask Hanum.

"Not who died Ma'am, Irena just wanted to come to Dad's grave. Irena wanted to apologize to him, ever since Dad died and to this day, Irena has never come to visit his grave. Maybe by going to Dad, Irena is much calmer and getting answers to all this"

"But you remember Ren, today the Dika family will come, not long yes" asked Mother.

Irena just nodded her head.

"Irena go first Ma'am, Assalamu'alaikum"

Irena says goodbye to Hanum and regrets it.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Dad. Iren came here. Don't you miss Iren? Thank you Dad for coming to Iren's dream, it's really nice. Sorry Iren just now come nyekar here"

"Dad, Iren is proud to have a Dad like Dad. Iren knows that Dad is a good person, a great love for the family. Maybe this is all our destiny, Dad. Iren always felt so guilty every time he remembered everything that happened with Dad. Just try Iren opening the door to that room Well, maybe we ...."

Iren again shed her tears, but for this time she tried to hold back her cries, more vigorous and sighed deeply.

He didn't want to look good in front of his father.

"You said I must be a strong woman. Yes, I'm here, Dad. Your little girl, really miss you so much"

"Oiya today there is a man with his family to come to this house, Mother must have told Dad about Iren's matchmaking. How do Iren do, Dad? Iren doesn't want to make you disappointed with Iren's wrong decision"

The girl sprinkled flowers that had been mixed with water, so fragrant. As people usually do every time they swamp to the grave.

He returned home, but his heart was still thinking about what decision he would make when Dika's family came to see him.

While on the road to the house, his stomach rumbling, hunger began to flare up. He saw a chicken porridge shop, located right at the intersection of his house. Irena parked her bike. It used to be chicken porridge from Irena and her father. It has been a long time since he ate there.

From far away, while parking the motor. The porridgeist watched Irena constantly.

"Eh, Mbak Iren huh? Is that not Iren? Well it has long been invisible, only now the nongolnya mbak semenjaaakk ... No no, Ahh come on, want a message? Eat here or take it home?" asked the chicken porridgeist surprised to see the arrival of Irena.

"Hemm, yes sir. I order one yes eat here, to take home one aja after I eat yes" replied Irena.

From the table next to me was a whispering voice.

"Eh, that's Mr. Bayu's son, isn't it? Mr. Bayu is dead, shot dead by police. Listen to him 'cause he's a drug mafia, a fugitive. It's a big story, it's been over 10 years. But his son was recently spotted. It's a pity indeed, in front of his son was shot"

Irena, who had heard it all at a glance, could only fall silent. I wanted to cry, but it was impossible in front of them. He tried to pretend not to hear it. It is much stronger than it was a few days ago.

The girl tried to calm herself down, took a slow breath and threw it away slowly. No matter what they say.

"Silence Ren, calm down. You need to calm down. They are stupid what they say. Stay cool ajee .." muttered Irena until it did not feel until the last bribe, then she asked for a portion wrapped to take home.

"Ready, beware" replied the porridge.

*****

Irena chose what clothes she would wear. Because his mother said that Dika's family will be here soon. Although he disagreed with this matchmaking, it did not mean that he looked ugly in front of them. Shy dong.

"Cring ..."

"Cring ..."

"Rudiy?" Irena was confused.

"Assalamu'alaikum Ren, what do you want to bring? I want to go to your house. You're on holiday right"

"BABH! Rudy? Oh, my God, how could he have come here. Pity the children of people if you know there will be a meeting with the family Yudi talking about marriage problems"

"E-eh no need sir, don't bother. Me... I ... I want to go with my mom today. No need to be"

Even though he was nervous about being afraid of Rudi coming, he forgot to answer the greeting from Rudi.

"Oh, want to go, huh? Let me anterin yes, I happen to have no work at the office. Boring is also not you" said Rudi

"No sir, no need. Uh sir, I'm called Mother. Yes, yes, Assalamu'alaikum" Irena pretended to be called her mother and immediately turned off the phone from Rudi.

" But I have brought ko.piii.. Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Rudi who had not had time to continue his words.

"Well, I haven't finished talking yet. It's a strange girl, hemm Ren Ren. I think this is coffee I take her to her house, baby is also already bought"

Rudi continued his journey to Irena's house, but he only intended to deliver coffee.

Upon arrival in front of Irena's house, Rudi saw several parking cars arranged neatly. He wondered what was in Irena's house. I want to ask people around I thought.

He stopped behind one of the parked cars and turned off the engine. He went down and called one of the people around who he did not know that the person was Dika's sister, Arini.

"Excuse me, if there's an event or anything. Rame is like that" asked Rudi.

"Oh yeah, there's no show. Just a family meeting doang, friendship. Who is it? Irena's family?" ask Arini back.

"Oh no, I'm his friend. I wanted to give you this coffee, but it looks like it's a real rame. It's not good that I went inside" either"

"E-ee this mbak, please love ya. When asked who said it was from Agung. Thank you, mbak"

"Oh yes Great yes, GREAT! Same with me" replied Arini.

Without thinking, Rudi immediately went back into the car. Seeing all that, Rudi was so hurt. Moreover, so many Dika families who come to Irena's house, it means that Irena and Dika will get married soon.

Rudi just fell silent while watching the people coming to Irena's house.

"Ren, maybe God did predestine you to be a story that ended in a way I couldn't have expected. I should have stepped back and stayed away from the love I shouldn't have kept in my heart. Be as reasonable and as much as possible mengikhlaskan you to Dika" Rudi said in his heart while looking at photos of himself and Irena in the mobile phone gallery album named OTW Wife.
