Wife's Resilience

KHI 39'S

In the morning, I woke up late. The sun has appeared a little. At her sight Bagas was no longer beside her. Soon Rena goes to the bathroom and ablution. It is better to be late than not praying. Moreover, he did not intentionally do it.

Rena went to the kitchen after she finished praying.

"I'm sorry, mak, Rena said misfortune." said Rena while sitting in the dining chair.

"Bak's sick?"

Mak Irah asked because she saw Rena's face was a bit pale. Rena is not as usual either. He seemed reluctant to get involved. Behind the wall Bagas stood while carrying a crackle containing food. He listened to Rena and Mak Irah.

"Yes, last night was raining." Rena crossed her arms while rubbing her own hands because she felt cold.

"Can't you?" mak Irah made a glass of warm tea and handed it to Rena.

Rena just smiled and did not answer the question from mak Irah. He sipped the tea given by mak Irah.

"Dear you're awake?"

Bagas came out behind the wall and walked towards where his wife was sitting. Bagas put a bag of crackers filled with food on the table. And told Mama Irah to put her food in the bowl.

Rena just looked at Bagas without answering questions from her husband and put the glass she held on the table and walked towards the room.

"Sorry."

Bagas hugged Rena from behind while Rena was still standing.

"Mas last night went to mom's house. Then talk to them. Sorry, I forgot the time."

"Yes, it's okay." Rena tried to smile even though her heart was still a little annoyed at Bagas.

"You're my friend how to get home."

"Get the car Doctor Angga."

Bagas took Rena to sit on the edge of her bedroom bed. Rena told me how she could go home without the slightest missed incident being told to Bagas. Rena just doesn't want her husband to misunderstand her.

Bagas listened to his wife's story, he felt guilty for forgetting to pick her up.

" Please be prepared, and you'll be late for work."

Rena stood up and took Bagas' clothes from inside the closet. And put it on the edge of the bed. Bagas went into the bathroom. After the bath, he wore clothes that had been prepared by his wife.

Rena waited for Bagas by sitting on the dining table chair. After Bagas arrived, Rena served her husband as usual.

"You'll work."

"I don't know, I'll see." Rena answered while filling her plate.

"If you are still sick, it is better to rest at home. Dona would understand."

"Yes, look at it later."

Rena replied by feeding food into her mouth. Bagas felt that Rena's attitude towards him was rather cold at the moment. Bagas. Maybe Rena still feels upset at him. Bagas tried to understand, because everything was his fault. Why forget not to pick up Rena. Why the phone is not brought. Especially last night it rained.

After escorting Bagas to the front porch, Rena returned to the room and lay in bed. He still felt a little dizzy in his head.

"Mom, this is mama. Can you come in?" ask Mama Irah from behind the door

"Yes, just go in. The door's not in the lock."

Rena answered from under the blanket. Mak Irah is closing in on Rena. Although Mak Irah is ART in her home, Rena always considers Mak Irah like her parents. Vice versa. Mak Irah considers Rena like her own son. Mak Irah has two daughters. But they all had families and lived with their husbands outside the city. While Mak Irah lives alone at home. Because her husband died a long time ago.

Actually Rena and Bagas have told Mak Irah to stay with them. But Mama Irah refused. With the reason she feels heavy heart if her husband's heritage house is left empty. Moreover, their home is not too far away.

"Sir, would you like to make some porridge?" tawar mak Irah's.

"No need mak." reject Rena.

"Sir, if I may know. Why is it Rena?"

Rena woke up from her sleep. She immediately cried. Seeing Rena crying Mak Irah hugged Rena. Mak Irah stroked Rena's shoulder plan. Tears of Mak Irah also dripped. But Mak Irah immediately deleted it.

Rena told me all the grunts in her heart. Occasionally Mak Irah also shed tears.a And soon in the gap.

"I'm sorry mom, Rena same story mom. Rena is confused about whose story she wants. Rena is afraid, if the story with Rena's parents. They'll think. While Rena did not dare to tell the Bagas mas family."

Rena's tears are shed. Sobs sounded in Rena's room.

"Mbak Rena, get closer to Alloh mbak. If it's about Bagas. I'm sure Bagas isn't that kind of guy."

"Mommy, Rena's scared. Until now I have not been able to give offspring to Bagas mas."

"Mom, don't be like this. You have to be a strong woman. If if only the fear mbak about Bagas mas happened. Mama has to be stronger. Show women who are trying to get close to Rena's husband, that they are still far below Rena's. My own mother..."

Mak Irah could not hold back her tears. Before the sentence is finished he said the tears mak Irah had fallen first. So that he was unable to finish his words to Rena.

They hugged each other. Mak Irah patted Rena's shoulder gently. They let each other out hugs. In the rubbing of tears on Rena's cheek by mak Irah.

"Mother has to be a strong woman."

Mak Irah tried to encourage Rena. She knew that Rena was a soft-hearted woman. A wife who always obeys the words of her husband. Women are independent and good too. Verily, Irah wanted to go out from her seat. He could not bear to see Rena cry.

Mak Irah picked up some drinking water at the table by the bed. And then it was given to Rena. After drinking Rena took her phone and told her she was going to work after lunch. He reasoned there was family interest in Bagas' parents' house.

"Are you sure you want to work?"

"Yes mak, if at home Rena can not think clearly. Maybe if it's work, there are friends Rena can make Rena laugh."

"Yes, mom went back first. Rena just rest. I will wake up."

Mak Irah came out of Rena's room, while Rena put her body down and closed her eyes.

After getting out of the room, Mak Irah headed to the washing place. There he cried while looking for Bagas' dirty clothes. He had seen in soap operas if the cheating man must have in his clothes left a trace (apparently Mak Irah victim soap opera 🤭🤭).

After finding Bagas mak Irah's clothes looking for something in his clothes Bagas. But he found nothing.

"There was nothing." He put Bagas' clothes back into the basket.
