Turning Hell into Heaven

46. Referral (?)

"Om the doctor's bored?"

Alsava rebuke makes Doctor Angga aware of his daydream.

"Bored? not bored," replied Doctor Angga in response to the question of Dara's youngest daughter.

"Keep daydreaming that?" ask Alsava again.

'Not daydreaming, but exactly was thinking next I should how? my heart intention was here to ask for Dara's willingness to accept the arrival of my family who would propose to him but it turned out to lose quickly with Radit. That means closed my chances to apply Dara until Dara gives an answer to Radit, because there is a ban according to the cleric in applying on the proposal of others is not allowed because it prioritizes ethics. And buried everything I hope to make Dara a wife if she accepts Radit's proposal. Then I have to how?' Doctor Angga who mastered the confusion monologue.

"Don't you, daydream again!" exclaim Alsava to Doctor Angga.

Doctor Angga patted his forehead. Realizing that his mistake had been ignoring Azkia and Alsava due to his thoughts filled with worry over Dara's answer to Radit's proposal.

"Sorry, sorry. Let's continue playing again" Doctor Angga widened his lips, he smiled.

"I think he will propose to you first," Lusi directed his gaze to Doctor Angga.

Dara and Lusi had already left the living room when Azkia and Alsava woke up from a nap. Now they are both sitting on the back porch of Dara's house watching from afar Doctor Angga is keeping his promise to the children of Dara. To play with Azkia and Alsava after taking a nap.

"Ngelantur," narrowly Dara to the speech of Luci.

"Dara, I know that you also realize that Radit and Doctor Angga have the same special feelings for you. But yes, you are the basic who do not want to take a headache so the bodo period is the same as their attitude. Aren't you?" Lusi was shaking his lips.

"Yes. Yes, rather than Lusi I became ugly because of manyun" said Dara joking.

"Uhhhh, clever ya reasoned her. Just saying what is must on behalf of my sexy lips all,"

A moment after Lusi said that, laughter rang out from both of them.

"Pity Doctor Angga," said Lusi after stopping his laughter.

"Why?" ask Dara.

"Lose fast with Radit," replied Lusi quickly.

"So who will you choose between the two of them?" ask Lusi again.

"They're both? how are they both? the only one who sued was Radit" replied Dara.

"Eee, basically we already know that Doctor Angga also likes you Dara,"

"As long as there's no statement yet, your mind is just a guess." Cetus Dara responds to Lusi's remarks.

"So wait for a statement from Doctor Angga?" Lusi teases Dara.

"Not so, I just don't like guessing." Dara Teas.

"What is important after getting the decision for Radit's proposal, must be conveyed to his Papi Mami immediately" Lusi reminded.

"Yes, I also do not feel good if you have to linger giving them clarity," said Dara.

"May you get the right and the right answer yes," Lusi clasped Dara's hand.

There is a sense of haru in the heart of Lusi. Her single parent friend has been proposed by a man she knows her origin, identity and personality.

In Lusi's view, Radit despite his younger years under Dara is a good male figure and became the dream of many other women.

Having a handsome face with a charming posture, a reliable and successful painter who already has several art galleries of his own, from a respectable and distinguished family, and a pleasant personality.

With these criteria, Radit can be categorized as a prospective husband. And the most important thing is to see how crazy Radit is with Dara, showing that Radit will love Dara. Not like Lukman's ex-husband Dara.

However, as a friend of Lusi can only pray and hope that Dara can give the right decision on Radit's proposal, whether it accepts or rejects his proposal.

Not long time passed, Lusi and Doctor Angga parted from Dara's residence. Dara now lives alone in the mind that He focuses on giving answers to proposals against her.

...***...

The next day, Dara gets a visit from Ummi Rita, her former father-in-law. The grandmothers of the children came to visit with Lukman's sister and sister.

In addition to visiting Azkia and Alsava, they were also present to convey some things to Dara. Be while waiting for the return of the children from school, a serious conversation between the four of them took place.

"Because, thank you for giving blood to my sister, you were willing to donate blood,"

Sukma held Dara's hands tightly. His memory was instantly restored when He was critical of the suicide attempts He committed because he was unable to live in polygamy.

Fortunately, in the difficulty of getting a blood donor, Sukma who ran out and needed blood donation immediately get free help from Dara, a former sister-in-law who He had wasted.

"Yes Brother, thank goodness now Brother has recovered" replied Dara.

"Thank you too, because through you brother dared to take the option to divorce from Mas Zian" the next second the sound of crying replaced the narrative Sukma.

Dara gives energy to Sukma by gently patting Sukma's hand that still holds his hand.

"I'm sorry Dara, you should have been desperately and blatantly defending you from being polygamous with Kiki. Now, after feeling for yourself how the pain of love in the duakan by the figure we love, makes Brother realize that how much Lukman has hurt you with the presence of Kiki. Again forgive Brother,"

"Sister, don't talk about it anymore. From the moment I decided to divorce, I closed all the stories about the pain and wounds of betrayal. I just want to open and fill the sheets of my life with children with useful and happy things." Dara Teas.

Dara then lowered her head, and gently stroked the back of her former sister-in-law who used to be very good with her. Dara realized, regardless of how painful the relationship between the two of them, now they are women who are both victims of the ambition of a man with husband status.

"I hope Brother Sukma does too. If it is steady to separate from polygamous relationships that feel unhealthy, then also set the heart to rearrange a life full of happiness," said Dara sincerely.

Sukma looked at Dara with sadness. Then he nodded and hugged Dara.

"Thank you for being such a good brother-in-law. Thank you for being a brother as a fellow human being who always sincerely spread the benefits and thank you as a fellow woman for understanding and reminding my current condition,"

Sukma took off his embrace. He held Dara's hand back.

"You are a good man, the most beautiful pearl among pearls. Brother really hopes you get a companion that makes you become an angel of heaven in this world Dara," said Sukma again.

"Aamiinu. I also expect the same thing for the life of Sukma in the future," they re-engage with each other.

"Sir Dara, there are things that Ummi must also convey," said Ummi Rita carefully.

"Please Ummi, just say it" replied Dara politely while greeting.

"Lukman, after his divorce from you, he desperately tried to improve the quality of his economic and social life again. And now, thanks to almighty grace, Lukman succeeded in paying off all his debts, Ummi and his sister also He bought a house, and we've moved from the previous contract to the house he bought it. We also came here using the car that Lukman bought for Ummi" explained Ummi Rita.

"Alhamdulillah, I'm glad to hear Ummi" said Dara sincerely.

If there used to be a desire in Dara's heart to make and watch Lukman experience the misery of life continuously. Now, as time passes and with the mengikhlaskan that has passed as a line of life journey that has been required for Him to live, he, hearing Lukman who began to rise from his slump makes Dara really feel happy.

"But" Ummi Rita's voice hung. He hesitated to continue his sentence.

"But, what is Ummi? just say it," said Dara softly.

Ummi Rita who hesitated gave a long sigh then He continued his sentence,

"But, because of his success, with a well-established economy, and sincere feelings and considering the existence of Azkia and Alsava, Lukman conveyed to Ummi his desire to re-marry with you son, son,"

"Refer," Dara muttered without asking or affirming.

"Yes. Lukman wants to refer Nak," concluded Ummi Rita.

"Lukman has also discussed this with Kiki," said Ummi Rita again.

"What's Kiki's response?" ask Dara carefully.

Ummi Rita did not answer. He was crying sobbing. Dara held out a tissue to Ummi Rita. Melsya who was sitting next to Ummi Rita stroked her soft Ummi back.

"Kiki, he is currently lying in the hospital. For the past three months, she has had severe cravings, requiring her to be hospitalized. Earlier when Lukman expressed his desire to refer to Nak Dara, Kiki refused this. He refused in polygamy and was also unwilling to be divorced. Until finally recently, Kiki asked Ummi to convey to Nak Dara the intention of Lukman's desire. Given that the twins are still young plus she is pregnant with severe cravings and weak physical condition, Kiki is willing to be in polygamy. Kiki also said, she resigned and accepted this as karma for her actions against you first,"

After explaining with a relentless sobbing, Ummi Rita came back crying as she pleased. Ummi Rita is sad to remember how Kiki who has since regretted her actions has tried to be a good wife, mother, and daughter-in-law for their family, but again had to swallow a bitter pill from the fruit of his deeds to disturb the household of people. If Dara is willing to refer back to Lukman, then it is true that karma does exist in this mortal world.

After a bit of calm, Ummi Rita looked at Dara seriously.

"Nak Dara, please do not misunderstand every statement and attitude of Ummi earlier. Indeed, in the bottom of his heart, Ummi was embarrassed and felt unworthy to convey Lukman's wishes. It's just that due to the insistence of Lukman and Kiki, Ummi was forced to convey it," Ummi Rita let out a long sigh.

"Son, whatever Nak Dara's decision, Ummi will not interfere but Ummi needs to convey this that, Ummi was flattered and humiliated if Nak Dara re-referenced with Lukman. Feeling flattered that women as good as Nak Dara are back as part of our family. Feeling humiliated because of self-consciousness that Lukman is not at all worthy to accompany Nak Dara. Even if He has now changed a lot from all sides, he said, his attitude, his responsibility but still the wounds he had inflicted on Nak Dara are not worthy of regret through marriage. At all this does not mean Ummi does not want to beat Nak Dara but purely, because Ummi realized Lukman is just like a night that misses the rainbow. He doesn't deserve a woman as good as Nak Dara,"

Ummi Rita again broke down the crying. He felt miserable, his soul wrapped in pain. Which mother does not want to ask a good woman for her son, in addition to rejecting him. Rejection done for the sake of giving implied teaching to his son that, the precious things that have been wasted no longer deserve to be achieved in the grasp.

Dara looked closely at Ummi Rita, trying to trace the meaning of the cry of the former in-laws.

'If only Ummi had offered it to me when Mas Lukman dug a pit of hell for me and his children, of course I will have a fighting spirit that desperately will I empower for the integrity of our household Ummi, ' said Dara in his mind.

"Ummi, drink this first" Dara offered a drink that had been served Mbok Inem. Dara hoped that with a sip of drink, Ummi Rita was a little relieved by her feelings.

Dara felt pity, the woman who incidentally good in her life who almost stepped on the age of twilight, not fun to play with her grandchildren, even dissolved in her children's household problems.

It seems that God always has his own way of affirming one's faith. The proof, through karma for the actions of his son, is, Ummi Rita who has long lived to die by her husband must single-handedly prepare her shoulders and heart as strong as steel in the face and help complete the trials and trials of life through the problems of the household of the flesh and blood.

Seeing Ummi Rita had begun to subside her cries, Dara straightened her sitting position. Alternately he looked at the Aunts of his two daughters, then lastly, he focused his gaze on Ummi Rita. And Dara started talking, too,

"Ummi, God willing, may Allah SWT always accompany Ummi in the face of the strange affairs of the heart. I also pray that Kiki who I believe has truly repented from her past mistakes soon God gives her health as usual so that she can live the pregnancy calmly and comfortably,"

Dara again handed the tissue to Ummi Rita whose corner of her eye again drained tears. Ummi Rita wept when she found Dara lying in the chest praying for her while she once ignored as an in-law. Haru's cry was also for the glory of Dara's soul who sincerely wished in the do'a for the health of her former honey sister who became the culprit of the destruction of her household.

"And Ummi, about Mas Lukman's desire to refer back .." Dara was silent for a moment.

Ummi Rita, Melsya and Sukma were pounding with their hearts waiting for Dara's answer. They do not want to be a hypocrite by covering their faces that are indeed harboring hope to have family ties again with Dara. But shame and feelings of unworthiness also cannot be veiled in the hope. Their hearts raged between wanting and being self-conscious.

Dara looked at Ummi Rita and said,

"Referring back ..."
