You, Me And Our Memories

Future thinking

"Assalamuakaikum buk" Diya said when they arrived home. Well today is their schedule home from the cruise.

"Waalaikumsalam is home. Come on in" said Mirna warmly welcomed her two daughters-in-law.

Diya kissed the back of her mother's hand and hugged her mother who had been three days they had not met.

"Mother how are you? I miss my mother" Diya said.

"Alhamdulillah I'm fine, son. I miss you too" said Mirna kissing her son's forehead.

"Where? As long as our relics don't have any relapses, will my mother's pain?" Diya observed her mother from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head.

"Not so dear. Thank God everything is fine" Reply Mirna smiled.

"Thank God I'm glad to hear it's buk"

"Good morning Virda" Bram said, welcoming this morning with a smile on his lips. Bram approached Virda who was still lying in his bed.

"Morning too" Virda replied with her pillow face. Virda sat on her bed.

Even though the indobel girl just woke up, it still looks beautiful in Bram's eyes. The man who loves her.

"How are you doing this morning? Does it feel better, right?"

"It feels better. Thanks for taking care of me last night"

"Yes, are you going to shower now? Do I want to help?"

"I don't need to take a shower myself"

"But your foot is still swollen and will definitely hurt if forced to walk. Let me help you keep your feet from feeling so sore"

"No need for Bram. You've helped me so much that I don't want to bother you anymore"

"I don't feel bothered and I don't bother to help you"

"But.... "

"Not much protest. Here I help you go to the bathroom" said Bram helping Virda to stand up and lead her to the bathroom.

"Thank you" Virda said after reaching the bathroom.

I don't know why her heart melted with the kindness of Bram who treated her this sweet. Maybe because the baby also wants to be with the father.

"When you're done, call me. I want to prepare breakfast for us" Shouted Bram from outside the bathroom.

***

"Geez Virda, I told you that when you're done you call me. You'll still be sick later if anything happens to you and our baby how?" Said Bram welcoming Virda who seemed difficult to walk.at that time Virda approached him in the kitchen who was busy preparing breakfast for them.

"Nothing" said Virda sitting at his dining table.

"This is the spaghetti breakfast. Please taste it to suit your taste" said Bram handed a plate of spaghetti to Virda.

"Thank you" Virda replied.

Virda immediately ate spaghetti made by Bram which he just finished making.

"Enak" Virda commented.

"It turns out you're good at cooking too" Praised Virda. The man he always called old bangka was apparently a cooking pinter. He did not know the other side of the man.

All this time he knew was that the man was using it to get his lust by threatening him to get what he wanted.

"As long as my wife is sick, I learn to cook so that I can cook for me and also for my children at home. I just want to show my kids that I love and love them. Yes, maybe with me cooking for them, they realize that my love for them is not reduced due to my busy work. They always thought that I didn't care about them and their mother. Therefore, I always take the time to cook their favorite food so that the togetherness we establish will feel beautiful" Bram Story.

Virda is sympathetic to Bram's story.

"You here, how's your sick wife doing?"

Bram took his heavy breath.

"He is currently in a coma. The cancer is spreading. It's been three months like this" Bram looked sad.

"You are patient, hope your wife is okay" Virda said cheeringly.

"Either Vir, the healing he will get is small. I'm not sure he'll be cured. But I will try to give the best treatment for him so that I do not regret it later on"

"Oh yes, I have decided that I will marry you tomorrow"

Degs....

Virda seemed shocked to hear the decision from Bram who sounded suddenly.

"Tomorrow? Is it that fast?"

"Yes, because my time here is not long. I'm going back to Singapore to see my wife. Therefore I decided to marry you tomorrow because even waiting is useless. The more days your content will be enlarged and you will certainly be the subject of people's speech later. It would be nice to get married so soon"

Virda was silent and did not answer a word of Bram's decision. To be honest he also agreed with Bram's opinion because the current content will be getting bigger and bigger.

"Well, I'm gonna call my parents about this. And if it's this fast I'm sure they won't be able to come"

"I'm sorry if this will disappoint you. I really have no other choice at the moment" Bram explained.

"It's okay I can understand your decision" Virda said.

***

Virda was daydreaming by the window of her room. Her heart is currently feeling a little uneasy to find tomorrow must marry with Bram the man who has impregnated her. However, he had no other choice at the moment. Waiting for Ivan would not be possible to marry him.

"Maybe I should try to accept Bram as my husband. After all he is the father of the child I bear" Virda said.

"Ivan, I won't forgive you. Just wait I'll avenge all of it. You've embarrassed me in front of your parents. You'll regret for doing this to me" added her hand tightly.

***

"Where? Success?" Ask her again.

"Success dong" replied Diya soberly.

"Yul, do you know who I met on vacation on a cruise ship yesterday?"

"Who?"

"Sister Ferdi and his family"

"What's? Mama and her papa Ferdi are also on vacation there?"

"Not so I mean Ferdi, his wife is also his son is not the same mom and dad"

"Why do you want to meet them? Don't tell me you're jealous of them"

Diya looked resentfully at Yuli.

"It's not so Yul. I see they are harmonious. It seems like Brother Ferdi can already accept Sonia as his wife and can already accept the fate that I and he are not a match" Diya explained.

"Yesterday in the hospital. I also met Ferdi and Sonia when they wanted to check the contents. At that time I was taking my mother to check with the doctor because of the mother's blood pressure relapsed" he added.

"Good dong then. So you and Ivan are no more bullies"

"Yes Yul, I'm so happy to see them like that. The point is me and brother Ferdi now have their own lives. And we will never be able to unite again. Yes indeed Brother Ferdi was once a part of my life and filled my lonely days into a very beautiful time. But it's all just a memory and those memories I will always remember not to reunite" Diya explained.

Yuli smiled and nodded at the explanation of her best friend.

"Pa, why the hell is sitting out here" Tanya Ajeng saw her husband sitting daydreaming on the porch of his house.

Herman breathed his heavy breath.

"Papa just didn't think with Virda ma. Why could he do such a thing. Though he's a highly educated boy but why can he do such a stupid thing and even he accuses Ivan of being the culprit." Herman was disappointed with Virda.

"When all this time we loved him as much as he was our own son and Ivan also loved him as much as his own brother. we've known Virda for a long time and we don't know why he could do something like that"

"Yes pa, Mama did not understand the way Virda thought. And what made mama even more disappointed in him was that he accused our son of paoh pa. whereas Ivan did nothing to him. But he kept making lies after lies to separate Ivan and Diya"

"Until now, my mother did not know who the father of her child was. Sometimes mama also thinks about her how she is there and how she is dealing with all this alone. Yes, however, Virda is the son of a friend of mama and mama love just as he deserves the child of his own mother. Because we have only one son, Ivan, and Virda's presence complements our lives where we have a pair of children who have decorated our days and of course memories together they are very difficult for us to forget at this time" explained Ajeng.

"That's what you think. Although yesterday we have been very disappointed in him, but still we can not let go of him just like that. Both of his parents have entrusted him to us. And we love him as much as our own children" added Herman.

"Papa, papa sometime we go on vacation to the cruise again yes like yesterday. Invite also aunty Ivan and om Ivan so we can vacation equally as yesterday. It will certainly be exciting" said Junior when Ferdi and Sonia were busy accompanying Junior to play.

"Can you ma?" Junior asked innocently.

Sonia smiled as she nodded.

"Well, mommy agreed to go on another vacation with aunt Ivan and Om Ivan"

"Yes son. Sometimes we will have a holiday like yesterday" replied Ferdi.

"Brothers... Vacation on a cruise again" Cheered Junior in excitement.

Sonia and Ferdi smiled at his whiz.

The morning had arrived, the sun was emitting its beautiful horizon from the eastern horizon. Virda has been dressed as beautifully as possible wearing a white kebaya equipped with accessories on her head adding to her elegance and beauty at the time. Likewise with Bram who looks dashing using a black suit paired with cloth pants and shiny shoes that adorn his feet.

This morning is a special morning for both of them because today is the day on which they will tie the wedding vows witnessed by the witnesses and the almighty to live together until life separates them.

They only do ijab qobul only because they did not have time to do their wedding reception it was due to their sudden wedding without planned further days.

Bram recites the Kabul Ijab with just one pull of anything smoothly and steadily. Understandably he was experienced in releasing Ijab kabul when he married his wife who is, at this time.

"Well" said the witnesses.

"Alhamdulillah" said the ruler and continued by reading prayers to pray for the bride and groom to become a family that is wise mawadah and warohmah.

Virda kissed the back of her husband's hand and Bram stuck a warm kiss on his wife's forehead.

It is legal for them today because they have become husband and wife and it is lawful for them to do anything.

***

"Thank God we are now lawful husband and wife. And now you don't have to worry about your content anymore because you now have a husband and I guarantee you won't be the talk of people out there" Bram explained. By the time they've arrived at Virda's apartment.

"Yes, thank you Bram you've been willing to take responsibility for the child I'm carrying right now. I didn't expect that we could get married like this and I didn't expect that all this time I had misjudged you. I always judge you with bad judgment turns out that behind it all there is an attitude that makes me a little touched your sweet attitude to me"

"It is my duty to take responsibility for what has happened to you because it is all my work and I cannot just let go of you by bearing this burden alone"

"Oh yes Tomorrow I will return to Singapore and I would like to find a maid for you to help you and accompany you here while I am away. I don't want you to be too tired. I don't want anything to happen with you and our son. So I will decide to find a maid for you here so that I can leave quietly. And I also want to say to you from now on you just stop working all your needs and the needs of our child I will bear you just sit sweet at home to welcome me home later" Bram.

"Alright if it's the best you think, I'll do it. I also can't move too freely at this time because my legs still hurt. So yes I really need a maid to help me here. Thank you for thinking about my situation here" Virda said.

"Yes, as a good husband, I have to think about the needs of my wife who is pregnant with my child at this time. And there's no way I'm gonna let you do it all alone without anyone helping you here. I'm afraid you'll be soy sauce and will interfere with our fetal development later"

"I promise I'll come home soon and accompany you here. And I'll also open my company here for our son later. So that he also has savings for his future because my shares in Singapore will all be handed over to my children from my first wife. And so I'm going to buy a part of the company here for you and our son, so if something happens to me you both already have some savings for your future.

Degs....

Virda's heart was touched by Bram's thought. Where he thinks of Virda's future with his son. Though he had just married the girl but he had thought so far about the future of Virda and also his son who was still in the womb.

"Thank you Bram. I'm so happy that you're thinking about my future and our son's. I don't know what else to say to you. Honestly, I'm very touched by your kindness to me right now" Virda said, hugging her husband.

"With I got everything, I'll guarantee Ivan's life will suffer. Bram's shares will be partly mine. It will be easy for me to take back this pain with a lot of money" Virda said, filled with vengeance in my heart.

His heart was already shrouded in pain over the treatment of Ivan who seemed to him just like that.
