Trying To Be Faithful

Session

"What's wrong? What's wrong with all of you? Am I in court now?"

Handi and his wife, Lukmini, there is also the mother of Raden, Bu Asroh, staring question marks towards Raden. There was also Raden's first brother, Tarno and his wife Tasri. Soon Raden's first brother Zaelani and his wife Murdini were seated there.

"What do you really want to ask? What about the patient bills I put in uncle's name?"

"Yes," answered Handi.

"I've replaced it. What else is the problem?"

"It's not because of the money, Den. We were all curious about who the patient was until you dared to charge the hospital money on behalf of your uncle."

"Bi, there's actually a misunderstanding here. It's all Santi. He pranks me, I swear."

"What time, Brother? He said one of the hospital guards was asked to look after someone in the ICU as well. Are they the same patient?" ask Zaelani.

"Why really? Yeah ... it's because, emmm it's because."

"Because she likes her patients. Don't you?"

"Yes, Din. You're smarter than your husband" led Raden by glancing at Zaelani.

"The patient was very funny. She's only 4, I don't think anyone likes her."

"Then what about his mother? Do you like her as much as you like her son? Will everyone like it, including us, your family?" ask Ms. Asroh.

Getting questions from his mother, Raden could not dodge. Yeah, more precisely can't lie.

"Mr ...."

"Den, that hospital is run by your uncle. There's Murdini and your aunt there too. Maybe they don't know what's going on there. It's strange not if they don't know anything about the company they hold?"

"If you already know, why should you call me here and interrogate me like now?"

"Raden, we're here happy because you finally found someone. Yes, we all know that women are special to you. How not, a Raden who is calculating and does not care about others, can care for it in a stranger if there is nothing."

"Your uncle is right. Auntie and the others just wanted to know from your mouth straight away. Your aunt, mother and sisters have long wanted you to have a companion, but what? You often even refuse if your aunt introduces someone to you. But now ...."

Raden lowered his head. He took a deep breath before saying anything.

"Yes, right. I like that woman. She is the mother of three children whose husband died a year and a half ago. I don't know why but I'm really annoyed by it. He is special in my eyes. A simple woman filled with sadness in her life. Mother ... If she wanted to be my wife, would you bless her?"

"Find me the guy first."

"No, Ma. I want to make sure before he does I bring it before all of you. I want her to be warmly welcomed and accepted into this family. It's too much, if I have to get hurt here again, I'm afraid he'll be traumatized and won't see me again."

Everyone is silent.

Raden looked at his aunt.

"His name is Nay, he's his youngest son who was treated yesterday. She had an accident while being motorized by Widia, she's the sister-in-law of the woman I like."

"She meant she was angry and came to the hospital because her son-in-law was in that accident?" ask Murdini.

"Yes, he just had a scuff wound. The old woman doesn't even care about her comatose granddaughter."

They fell silent again. This time is long enough.

"My children know and now they are familiar with their children. Mother, please find out for yourself the information about him, if you don't like to tell me, don't let mom and the others show dislike when I bring him here."

"What if you don't like it?"

"I'll never get married again."

Asroh's mother smiled faintly. He thought his son would say that.

"I'll excuse you." Raden also left his family who were still sitting and busy with their own thoughts.

"Sister, brother will bless their relationship?" ask Asroh about Handi.

"You all know how Raden left his wife when Akhtia was three months old, until yesterday's second before meeting the woman Raden was so stiff. I see happiness in him. The house, which was cold because of its inhabitants, now looks warm. I'm not gonna let that house back to nothing."

"I agree, as long as women are good women, then we should respect their relationship" Tarno said.

"Say Risa, Akhtia behind this looks busy and different. He was often smiling and cheerful, probably because of that woman as well." Tasri added.

"Yes, let the brother be happy. We must not interfere too much in the affairs of his human life. If it makes him happy, why do we have to ruin it?" Murdini gave her opinion.

Ms. Asroh seemed to be thinking about something. He'll do something to find out more about the woman his son likes, Hasna. However, Ms. Asroh must make sure that her child does not choose the wrong woman.

Everything returns to their respective activities, leaving Handi and his wife.

"Come, you agree? You're going to let Raden marry a young woman? Maybe she was pregnant, right? What if she's pregnant and has a son?"

"Then his fate will be the same as Airlangga."

They stared at each other while throwing smiles at each other.

"You take it easy, yeah. We better go to the room, clean ourselves up and rest."

"Yuk."
