Wife's Resilience

KHI 47'S

The rain continues to pour, while Rena is sitting in the mosque foyer. He was in the mosque from the maghrib prayer to the isya. Because the distance is not too long. So Rena decided to pray isya all.

The atmosphere looks lonely. There are only a few people still in the mosque. Because some of the congregation prefers to go home.

Rena's eyes stared straight ahead. Someone patted her shoulder slowly from behind. Rena immediately looked in that direction.

"Sorry, I sat here myself after the prayer. If you can tell, can't you make a deal or is there some other need?"

"I want to go home ma'am, but wait for the rain to subside a little" Rena said with a smile.

"Emm, yes already then mbak, I say goodbye first. Would you like to come with me to my house. Than here alone." bargain the mother to Rena.

"No ma'am, thanks for the offer. I'm just here. Soon the rain will surely subside ma'am." subtly reject Rena.

"Alright then, I go first mbak."

Rena answered the mother with her sweet smile. Moments after the mother left Rena turned to her right and left. Looks lonely. There were only two men in the mosque who were teaching.

Actually Rena wanted to accept the offer of the mother to stop at her house. But Rena is shaken. Especially if they just met.

After the rain had subsided, Rena decided to leave the mosque and walk in search of a bed for the night.

"There's no way I'm going to my in-laws' house. Later they even find out if me and Bagas fight."

Rena kept her feet up. If he feels a little tired, he squats on the side of the road. The distance Rena is currently with her home is quite far.

"The distance from the old man's house Bagas is also far away. Going to Dona's house is far away too. Try bringing a cell phone. Even if you don't have money, at least bring a cell phone."

The drizzle gets bigger and bigger. Not long after it rains. Rena immediately ran to find shelter.

"Mas Bagas also how the hell. Time is not looking for me. So angry huh. To not care."

Rena's tears immediately escaped and soaked her cheeks with rainwater. Now Rena is taking shelter in a closed shop. When there was lightning Rena covered both her ears with her palms while crouching down.

"Equins." Rena felt her ears.

"I can use these earrings to find a bed tonight. Yes, right."

Like getting a lottery prize, Rena seemed happy. Rena immediately stood up and ran towards the patrol post that she had passed. He ran with both hands on his head as a cover so as not to be exposed to rain water. And all in vain. He stayed wet, because it was raining pretty hard.

"No one is."

Arriving at the patrol post, Rena looked to the right and left with a wet shirt. He wished there was someone he could ask.

"That's a shop, it looks like it's still open."

Rena immediately ran towards the store.

"Excuse me, sorry ma'am, just ask. Near here is there a place that is rented to sleep ya ma'am. I mean kos-kosan ma'am."

The store owner showed me the nearest place that was rented. Rena also expressed her gratitude and headed to the place where the store owner told her. Although the place is a little far away, but Rena still spirit.

Right now what Rena has in mind is just a place to spend the night for tonight. Arriving at the place where the mother was addressed, Rena asked the security guard.

"Sorry sir, is this here renting a room?"

"Yes, he wanted to rent a room."

"Yes sir."

"Yes, then come with me to meet the owner."

Rena walked in the back following the security guard. When he got to a house he knocked on the door. Then the door was opened by an aged mother. After saying his goal to the owner of the boarding house, the security guard left us both.

"So I want to rent a room. If you know how many months?"

Hearing the explanation from Rena, looks like mommy frowned.

"I'm from the village going to my sister's house, while my bag was lost in the street."

"One night yes."

Looks like the boarding mom is considering for Rena can sleep in her place tonight or not. He saw Rena's body that was already cold from the rain.

"All right, wait here. I'll get the keys to the room first."

When mommy wanted to walk away, Rena stopped her.

"Sorry mom, but I don't have any money to pay. If I may pay with my earrings."

Rena handed over the earrings that she had taken off before. Mom Kos receives Rena's earrings. And look at those earrings. He nodded his head, then entered his house.

"Alkhamdulillah, can be a place to spend the night." Rena's mind while rubbing her face using both palms of her gratitude sign.

Rena started to hold her own body. He is now starting to get cold. Moreover, he had just healed. But when walking to find a place last night, there was no coldness. Maybe because of the cold in his body was defeated by confusion to find a place to spend the night.

I'm kos back to Rena's place with the room key. His hand also holds a negligee along with an interior for women. He also had a crackle filled with bread and drinks.

"This is for you, this negligee has my son. While this interior also has him, but still new, not yet used."

It appears that inside there is still a price tag that indicates the interior of the woman is still new.

"It's bread, you can eat."

Rena receives all the gifts of the costumer.

"Thank you so much mom."

"Your room is that. It's key. It just so happens that his room is new in his stay today. So it's still clean."

"Good ma'am, thank you."

Rena took the keys to her room and headed for the room shown by the boarding mother.

In the room there is a mattress placed on the floor equipped with a pillow. Beside him was a small table and a small cupboard. The room looks clean.

Rena immediately changed her clothes. And hung the wet clothes on the wall by the door. Because near the door there are some nails that are deliberately instilled.

After he finished changing clothes, he immediately ate the bread given by the boarding mother. Rena felt hunger in her stomach, because she had not eaten dinner. Plus he walked so far from home.

When swallowing the bread, somehow the bread seems to be stuck in the throat. Tears of Rena fell again. He took a bottle of drinking water and sipped water in the bottle.

Rena stopped eating bread and lay on the bed. Her tears kept flowing.

*****

In the room, Bagas was asleep. While Mak Irah tidied the food at the dining table. He thought, maybe his master was exercising in the room. Until they are exhausted and fall asleep.

Elsewhere, Galih kept staring at his phone. He waited for Rena to send him a picture of Intan.

"Is it possible that Rena forgot, it's been almost an hour since I called her. Did I call again."

She held up the cell phone in her hand.

"Tomorrow I ask again, if I call again, Bagas will even know if I have Rena's number."

Yes, yes, yes, Galih does not know if there is currently a war between Rena and Bagas. And it's all because of him.
