Wisdom of Our Love

CH 49

"So, are you sure about the decision you made?" ask Mr. Bobby.

"Bela, sure Pi." said Bela with tears continuing to wet her cheeks. Bela loves Ray very much, but Bela also does not want to be a selfish person who does not know himself. Bela has made Miss Santi lose her husband. Bela knows what it's like to lose the person we love, because it's the same as losing half of our soul.

"Try thinking again! Papi just doesn't want you to regret the decision you made because you were emotional, Bela. In domestic relations, the husband and wife quarrel will always be there, but that does not mean we have to leave our partner," said Mr. Bobby advised because he thought Bela went because of a fight with Ray.

"No Pi, Bela doesn't have any problems with Ray, Ray's a very nice guy, Ray loves Bela very much and treats Bela very well. Only, Bela felt that she did not deserve all of that. Bela has been a very bad person, Bela wants Ray to start his new life with a sholihah woman who deserves Ray" said Bela.

"I'm sorry Papi ya Bel." Sorry Mr. Bobby, in his life just this time Mr. Bobby felt so devastated.

"No, Pi. Don't blame yourself. Now Bela just wants us to start all over, there's just the two of us like before, in a faraway place and no one recognizes us" Bela said, leaning her head on Papi's shoulder.

"How, if we start a new life in the village of S, Almarhumah Mami, has a house there. never occupied but his house is always well cared for, he said, there is a housekeeper who always keeps Mami's house there," said Mr. Bobby.

"Why doesn't Bela ever know that Mami has a house there?" ask Bela .

"That house, the relic from your grandmother to Mami. Then after my grandmother died, Mami joined Papi work in Singapore and every return to Indonesia we always went to Papi's house, so we were almost never again to that house, it's just that the housekeeper there always cleans the house" said Mr. Bobby.

After disembarking from the plane, Mr. Bobby and Bela continue their journey using land transportation, and it takes three hours to get to the village where Mami was raised.

"Alhamdulillah, now we have reached the house of Mami," said Mr. Bobby smiled with relief.

"Here, Mami Pi's house? And we're gonna stay here?" ask Bela

"Yes, this is your Mami's house and from now on we will stay here" replied Mr. Bobby.

Bela was amazed by the beauty of the village where her Mami grew up. After Mr. Bobby helped Bela get out of the car, Bela seemed to enjoy the beauty there and breathe the air so cool. Because this is a mountainous area, the air there is very cool and clean, the place is also so calm. Far from the city crowd.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mr. Bobby. This must be Ma'am Bela," asked Mbok Marni.

"Walaikumsalam," replied Mr. Bobby and Bela.

"Have you known me?" ask Bela.

"Call me Mbok Marni, Ma'am Bela! Yes, I know but only from hape alone, Si mbok often see photos of Mbak Bela, it turns out the original is much more beautiful," said Mbok Marni.

"Really,?" Bela can't believe it.

"Yes, Mr. Bobby often sent his picture Bela Mbak, but long ago Mr. Bobby did not send photos again, last time Bela was married. Oiya, Bela's husband, where? Didn't you come here?" Tanya mbok Marni looked around as if looking for Bela's husband.

"He's not here Mbok, the story is long. We'll tell you later" said Mr. Bobby.

"Ah, yes. Sorry, but we're talking here. You must be tired, please rest first. Let the Mbok bag come in. Mr. Bobby's room and Bela's Mbak's room are ready." jalas mbok

Mr. Bobby and Bela entered the house and again Bela was amazed by the beauty of his late Mami house. The building looks. is old but still looks sturdy and neatly arranged. Classic house models that may not be found in urban areas.

"The Mbak bela room is over there" said Mbok Marni pointing to a room for Bela.

Bela runs her wheelchair into the room.

"Mbok Marni, have you been guarding this house for a long time?" ask Bela

"Already Ma'am, Mbok is here since Mami Mbak Bela teenagers." replied mbok Marni.

"It has long meant yes?" ask Bela.

"Already Ma'am, since the big lady died, Ibu Sintia has never been here again, because of Mr. Bobby's work in Singapore. The climb is a symbol here itself" said mbok Marni.

"The shocks don't have any family?" ask Bela.

"Simbok has children, but at this time there is no one here, the symbok child is in Jakarta, sometimes once a month back here," explained Mbok Marni.

"The mbok must be lonely to be here alone,"

"Yes, actually the symbok child also asked for a symbol to come to Jakarta, but always Mbok refused because he also could not leave this house, too many memories in this house, too many memories in this house, because mbok works here too, the symbok can send school children until now can be successful people in Jakarta, this is all thanks to the kindness of Mr. Bobby and Mami Mbak Bela," said Mbok Marni.

"Yes, already. Bela just rest first, sorry Mbak, even so symbok chat," said mbok Marni.

"There's Ma'am, what's wrong with Bela looking for ustadzah?" ask Mbok Marni.

"Bela wants to learn naji mbok, if mbok Marni does not mind, Bela would like to ask for help call ustadzah who can teach Bela read the Koran to here ya mbok," said Bela.

"Okay Ma'am Bela, I'll call you, then. Simbok out first yes Ma'am, prepare for dinner for Madam Bela and Mr. Bobby," mbok Marni pamit.

"Yes Mbok" replied Bela.

Bela runs her wheelchair around the room, looking around.The view is so stunning, comfortable and peaceful. It's just that deep down, right now, Ray is also very worried.

"Maybe right now Ray is confused looking for me, forgive Bela, Ray. Defend a wife who is not good and does not deserve you. Bela hopes, with the departure of Bela, Ray and Mami can start a new life that is far good." muttered Bela staring at the scenery outside the window.

At Ray's house, by the way,

"So Bela went again?" ask Miss Santi.

"Yes Mi, Ray does not know what Mami is talking about again with Bela, but Bela left a letter that the contents want Mami to be happy," said Ray.

"Mommy doesn't say anything to Bela, why are you accusing Mami like that? you think Mami told Bela to leave?" ask Miss Santi.

"Come on, right now. Ray can't think clearly, but it's clear that whenever Bela's wife Ray and Ray will look for Bela wherever she goes, Ray is sure. Definitely Ray can find Bela." said Ray passed.

"Ray, where are you going?" santi asked to stop Ray's steps.

"Finding Bela," Ray answered briefly and returned to his feet.

Ray, just driving around town without direction, until Ray stopped his car at Danu's office.

There Ray told his best friend everything.

"In the first place you should be able to estimate all this, Ray. It's not easy to be able to live one roof with in-laws, especially Bela and Aunt Santi, never had such a past," said Danu.

"Then what should I do? I can't leave Bela, I can't leave Mami either" Ray said.

"Not leaving, but at least separating the house. Not a roof. Sorry also Ray, the attitude of Aunt Santi who deliberately showed that Mita is much better and even blatantly brought Mita to your company event, I think it also hurt Bela very much." said Danu.

"Astaghfirullah, I never thought that far, because Bela and I really did not feel anything, we had indeed dated. But it's just a little boy's date, I'm still in high school and I don't understand real love" Ray said.

"That's from your point of view, but what about from Bela's point of view? have you considered all that?" ask Ray.

"Today I explained everything to Bela, I think she can understand all that. Even this morning when I left for the office, he didn't show a strange attitude, all mediocre" Ray said.

"And the problem of staying on one roof with Mami, I didn't think much, either, because I saw you and Niko also put your wives on one roof with your parents" said Ray.

"The concept isn't like that, bro. things are different. Not all daughter-in-laws can stay one roof with in-laws, especially with your Bela and Mami case, it will definitely not be good if they live one roof. Actually it does not matter if you live in a different house, but that does not mean you are not filial. Compulsory, you are filial with your Mami, but also do not ignore the feelings of the wife." explained Danu.

"Then now I have to how Dan? has everything happened? Bela had gone and in the letter, Bela asked me to divorce her, because Mami said to tell Bela, if every saw Bela, Mami always remembered the departure of Papi," said Ray.

"You try to calm down, you think. Where do Bela and Mr Bobby go, or maybe they go back to Singapore?" ask Danu.

"No Dan, I've checked all the flights there's no list of their names, I'm sure they're still in Indonesia" Ray said.

"To the house of their relatives maybe?" ask Danu.

"I've told people to look for him, but nil, there are no relatives they come to."

"Then where are they? Hadn't they been living in Singapore for a long time, certainly not many of their acquaintances here" said Danu.

"That's what's on my mind, too" said Ray, twitching his dizzy head.
