Wife's Resilience
KHI 07'S
Bagas performed prayers at the mosque near the lake.
When he finished he sat on the terrace of the mosque. His eyes looked straight ahead.
In the middle of his daydream there was someone who patted his shoulder slowly from behind. A man who became his priest when he prayed.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.."
"Wa'alaikum salutations."
They shake.
"Sorry sir, is it okay for me to sit here?"
please allow Bagas politely.
"It's okay, please."
"Thank you sir." Bagas answered and then fell silent.
His eyes looked back to the front.
While mr. Kyai was still watching him from the side. He sat down next to Bagas.
"Sorry before, it looks like you're in trouble."
"Bagas, just call me Bagas sir."
Bagas stopped his words. Then he exhaled his breath violently.
hufft.....
"I'm confused by the problem I'm facing sir."
"Son Bagas, every problem must have a way out. After all, it is impossible for God to give us a problem without a solution. Believe me son, God gives us trials according to our abilities. But remember, do not let us make decisions in a hurry. So that we will regret later. Make decisions when our hearts are calm. Leave and pray only to Him."
Bagas looked at Kyai.
Then he said to Bagas.
For a moment Bagas pondered the words of the kyai sir. Bagas left the mosque. He took his motorcycle home.
Arriving at home he immediately cleaned his body. Sit on the sofa in front of the TV. Suddenly the HP rang. A message from Rena, who says she will be home late because there is still a job in the boutique. Bagas read it and put his phone back without replying.
Bagas' tears dripped.
"Yes, forgive your servant. I almost made a decision that you hated.
Forgive me Rena for thinking about getting married again. It will even leave you. While you have been so loyal to me all this time. Even the doctor's already said we're both fine."
Bagas is not a man who cries easily. But this time he cried for his stupidity. He feels so stupid. Easily incited by Galih's talk.
Bagas wiped his tears. She looked at her wedding photo on the wall.
"Life without children is incomplete. But if I want a child, it has to be in a way that hurts Rena."
"There are many couples out there who have no children. But they stay together. A child is not an excuse for a breakup. Most of them choose to have children by adopting. Not that way better. Than I have to remarry or leave Rena."
"Maybe this is all my life line and Rena. I can't leave Rena. I can't be selfish. I can't make her cry. There were already too many tears that he let out because of the people's talk. I won't add to that heartache. If we don't have children, that's okay. Yeah, it's true we're gonna adopt a kid."
Bagas stood up from his seat. He went into the bedroom. Take a jacket and wear it.
He snatched the key of the motor that was on the table near the bed. He left the house and rode his motorcycle towards the boutique without looking at the clock. Even his phone was left on the table. All she had in mind was Rena.
Arriving at the boutique he got off his bike. Then reach into his pocket to pick up his phone.
"Jeez, I'm missing you at home."
Look at the closed boutique.
"But Dona's car is still here. Maybe they're still inside. I'd better wait here."
Bagas waited for Rena in front of the boutique by sitting on his motorcycle.
About 45 minutes Bagas waited, Rena and the others came out of the boutique.
"Ren, it's not Bagas." Dona pointed to a man sitting on a motorcycle.
"Mbak Rena, he said that he was not picked up" said Sari.
"So I sent you a message, but it's only read. I think maybe he's tired. And don't pick me up."
They walked towards Bagas' place.
"Mas's been here a long time."
"Lumayan."
"Why not the phone, rather than waiting alone outside better go inside." asked Rena
"My phone's left at home."
Bagas smiled as he scratched his non-itchy nape.
They just looked at Bagas and smiled.
Eventually they went home to each other.
