WEDDING (Not Just) IN BED
CRY TOGETHERNESS



"Ella! Here's some water for you, son!" Papa was like trying to get closer to take his son's heart again. I hope Ella gets back to her.


Ella took the glass from papa's hand but she put it back on the table. Makes Ramzy look at his wife's face. Ramzy slightly held back her anger considering the Ella family home was still crowded with relatives. It would be inappropriate for Ella to be disrespectful to papa in front of them.


In their bedroom the night after the tahlilan event was over, Ramzy saw his wife lying down while breastfeeding Rafa alternately with Rafi.


"Darling!... Don't be like that to papa, Ella! Don't act like you're the cause of your mom's departure!"


Ella did not answer. Only the melt of tears represented how sick and disappointed his inner self was when he saw papa.


"No way, baby! How would you feel if you became a father, and our children did things like you to papa?"


"This is another case of mas! My kids can't do that to me. Just like I was with mom!"


"Can you guarantee Rafa and Rafi don't do the same thing you did to papa?"


"I can guarantee. Because this is karma. Which I have to take responsibility for!"


"What is karma? Do you know what karma means? And is there true karma from God?"


Ella did not answer. Her husband's religious knowledge is getting better. Because Ramzy has a community of study groups in her neighborhood. And it was almost every Sunday night in the mosque every maghrib prayer.


"You and papa are men! You must be thinking!"


"Yes. We are indeed men. The majority of our thoughts are a little bit the same. But we think using logic, which is! Not with feelings too deep that don't match reality."


"Would a father who shares his heart with another woman not be in accordance with reality?" Ella slightly bitterly answered Ramzy's words.


Ramzy took a short breath. He knew Ella's character from the moment he knew her. Be stubborn and a little rude when you're angry.


"Do you know the truth? Do you also see with your own eyes the treatment of papa to mama? Have you ever been rude to your mom in front of your eyes, baby?"


Ella just turned her memory. How papa is like a man who fears his wife in his eyes. Papa obeyed every command of my mother.


Ella looked into Ramzy's eyes with her eyes back in the mirror.


"The husband's man was afraid that the wife was making my heart hurt!"


"Because the fact is papa has another wife besides mama? And the truth is you have another sister besides Adelia? Is that what's upsetting you?"


"Yes, mom!"


Ella shook her head. His tears fell again.


"All God has arranged for every creature of His creation My Ella! Even since we're in the womb. God has arranged our lives. Good luck and bad luck, also our destiny, which is!


Now you feel devastated by the actions of papa in the past. You feel you are a victim of the karma you used to do. And you judge him. Is it worth that, for you to do this at once to papa? And what if you get karma from your crimes on your father through our children?"


"Don't say that! Hicks!"


"That's reality! You endocrine papa loudly calling papa entitled you to reply because of his karma. And the karma that you say it will go on and on it rolls in our lives if we don't break the chain, which is!


And will the late mother not be sad to cry to see you in the barzakh treating her husband so contemptuously?"


Jamb.


Ramzy's words seemed to open her eyes and heart wide.


Ella cried and hugged Ramzy. He was crying in Ramzy's field. It was all open thanks to Ramzy's words.


Ella ran out of the room. Go down the stairs, then dart into his papa's room.


Papa was lying in his bed with his face stretched out and a grain of tears. Just shut up without a sound.


"Father!"


"Girla!"


"Papaaaa.. hik hik hiks huaaa..! Forgive Ella papaaaa!!! Forgive Ella, paaaaa!"


Ella immediately ran to embrace the body of papa who began to look old. The father and son cried. Holding papa's chest that looks thin. Then down to his stomach.


Ella was crying again. A month ago, papa's stomach was like a drum about to be sown. Fat and filled. But ever since he learned the fact his father had a wife of two and stayed away from hating papa, it turns out that his father is much thinner now.


"Why have you eaten?" tanyanya interrupted his sobbing. Papa nodded. His tears continued to flow even though his lips were smiling.


"Papa must be lying! Dad never eats alone without his mom! Papa never wanted to eat first even though mom only went to the stall for a while! Khan pa? Hik hik.... Let's eat pa! Ella's the one who got it and the papa's bribe, huh? Mom is calm on God's side now! Huhuuuu!"


The night sky is beyond the stars. The light twinkled even in my room and Ella was crying together.
