Wisdom of Our Love

"Ray, how's the story going, Mita could be a nurse here?" niko asked when Mita was back.
"I don't know either, the hospital sent Mita here. I also did not expect that Mita, a nurse sent by the hospital to take care of Bela," replied Ray.
"Can it be a coincidence?" niko muttered.
"Why say that Nik?" ray asked his forehead.
"It's nothing, it's just. Fear if CLBK (Old Love Blinks Back)," seduced Niko.
"Astaghfirullah, why do you have such thoughts Nik?" grouse Ray.
"Haha.. Joking Ray, don't take it too seriously. Only if I see from the way Mita sees you, somehow I feel that Mita is like there is something like that, " said Niko.
"Why can you think like Nik, me and Mita it's just the past, it's just monkey love" Ray said.
"Yes even though monkey love like you just said, you guys have a story, right?" niko.
"Then what do you think I should do? couldn't have done it, too, if I had replaced another nurse? it will even be bad with Mita," said Ray.
"Be careful, Ray, keep your distance. Don't get too close. Fear later Mita hopes more, think also Bela's feelings. If Bela knows you guys used to have a story, "Niko tried to advise Ray.
"Thank you Nik, you are the best of friends. Good thing you and Danu are always there for me." Ray smiled holding Niko's shoulder.
"Of.. Ray, let's play there yuk, "let Fatin point to the swing near the fish pond.
"Fatin, you going there?" tanya Ray saw Fatin.
"Yes, Fatin wants to play the same Om Ray, " replied Fatin.
"Okay, let's go over there. " Ray stands up.
"Lad, " said Fatin, opening his hand and asking to be carried.
"Okay, Princes," replied Ray carrying Fatin
Bela has just finished studying and is now outside together with Ulya and Niko.
"Ray looks so happy to play with your children" said Bela smiling.
"Yes, Ray loved Fatin and Alka very much. If they are together, it must be a storm because of Ray's seizure," said Ulya smiling.
"Ray is indeed a good person, even children can feel his kindness," muttered Bela with teary eyes.
"That's what Ray is like, Bel. From now on be a good wife to Ray. Because Ray loves you." Ulya knows very well how Ray feels, because Ray often tells Niko. Even Ray does not want to separate from Bela despite knowing Bela betrayed their marriage.
"I'm a very bad wife, a man as good as Ray. I wasted it," muttered Bela regretting that it was so foolish to waste a husband as good as Ray.
"That's all over, the most important thing is that you have to learn to be a good wife" Ulya said.
"Right, what Ulya Bel said. Ray loved you. Don't hurt her heart anymore" said Niko.
"How can I be a good wife. You see for yourself, with my condition like this, I'm just a burden to Ray." said Bela.
"The husband of the wife is one, if at this time your feet can not walk. Then Ray will be your foot to walk. Healthy, sick, happy or sad. The husband and wife should support each other and take care of each other." Ulya advised Bela.
Bela who has now started wearing the hijab, feels the sincere attention of Ulya and all of Ray's friends, no one judges Bela's past. All sincerely help Bela to be a good Muslim and a good wife.
"Ulya, Niko. Thanks though. You guys are so nice. I honestly didn't expect that you would accept me as part of your friendship. Though I am not a good person, but I can feel the sincerity of you, " said Bela shed tears.
"Tente is beautiful, why are you crying?" tanya Fatin approached.
"Tante doesn't cry baby. This earlier, aunt's eyes glimmered with dust, "Abela answered wiping away her tears.
Ray smiles at Fatin, Ray finds out that his wife is crying.
"Are you okay, Bel?" ask Ray.
Bela is grateful to be in the midst of good people. People who do not like to interfere in the affairs of others, even very openly welcome someone who wants to repent. With their pleasure, guiding towards goodness without seeing and judging her dark past.

Desantren
Ms. Santi was pensive and after thinking things through, Ms. Santi decided to return home.
Ms. Santi, did not like Bela and still very hurt on Bela. But Miss Santi is also impossible to avoid Bela forever. Especially at this time, only Ray has. His only child.
"Mrs Santi, do you really want to go home now?" ask Umi Zaroh.
"Yes, Umi. It seems like it's time for me to go back home. Poor Ray, if I leave Ray too long, all this time as a mother. I never noticed it, it's time for me to make up for all that, Mom" said Santi.
"Thank God, I'm glad to hear it. May this be a good start for Ray and Bu Santi" Umi Zaroh, praying for Ms Santi and smiling as she hugged him.
"Thank you, Umi. I will never forget the kindness of Umi and Abah who have accepted me here. In this boarding school, I get a lot of knowledge, knowledge that I have been neglecting. Because I was too glared at dounia. I was very lucky to be able to repent before death to pick me up," said Ms Santi.
"Yes ma'am, come here often. I pray that Miss Santi, always Istiqomah in the streets of Alloh." replied Umi Zaroh
"When Ms. Santi wants to come here, this boarding school will always be open to Ms. Santi, " said Abah.
"Thank you, Abah. Now I say Abah, Umi. Assalamu'alaikum" said Santi.
"Walaikumsalam" replied Umi Zaroh and Abah.
"Umi, relieved Bah. Miss Santi now his mind is open" said Umi Zaroh when Ms Santi had boarded the taxi.
"Yes, Mi. Hopefully after this, Ray can get happiness. And hopefully Miss Santi always preaches on the road of Alloh," said Abah.
"Aamiin," Umi Zaroh assures.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Santi Bu entered his house.
"Mrs Walaikumsalam, Mistress. You're home yet?" ask Bik Siti to take the suitcase in the hand of Miss Santi.
"Let me bring you the suitcase Madam" said Bik Siti.
"Thank you, Bik. Oya Bik, where is Ray?" asked Santi Bu to see the house looks lonely.
"Den Ray, he's in the office. If Non Bela is in therapy to the hospital, Madam," explained Bik Siti.
"Bela, who's Bik in hospital?" ask Miss Santi.
"Non Bela to the hospital was escorted by Mr. Diman and Mbak Mita," replied Bik Siti.
"My mother? Who is Mita?"
"Mbak Mita, the nurse assigned to guard Non Bela, Madam. "
Miss Santi, fell silent and walked towards the room. In the memory room, Ms. Santi recalled Mr. Yudha.
Ms. Santi looked at the family photo in her room.
"Pi, now Mami herself is in this room. There's always Papi here. Pi, at this time Mami does not know how to behave when Mami sees Bela. Mami knew Papi's departure was fate, but Mami still could not accept, because Papi was sick when he knew that our company was destroyed and it was because of Bela." Mumbled Bu Santi staring at the photo of Mr. Yudha.
And when she saw Ray's photo, Miss Santi again thought the fate of her son was just a puppet.
"Are you going to sacrifice yourself forever, to take care of a woman like Bela Ray? Mami knows, this is all Mami's fault. Had Mami not been a treasure freak, you would not have endured all of this." back then Miss Santi was sad to remember her regrets in the past.
