You're Doubling Me for a Widow.

Peppery

"Reni .. have you eaten?" ask the mother-in-law who came to Renita and Rendy.

"I ate it already." Renita answered softly.

Malik's mother sits on the edge of Renita's bed. "Thank God that you ate. Em ... Rendy overslept. Bobo, right?"

The boy looked at his eyes while nodding. "Oya Oma ... Rendy's tired and wants to go to bed!"

"Lho .. Rendy's room is next door, not here." Said the Oma while looking at Rendy who was lying next to the mother.

Then the mother-in-law turned her eyes to Renita. "Rendy's room has been prepared in the next room, not even the goods have been arranged there."

"Thank you Mah, thank you very much. I've prepared a room for Rendy." Renita smiled at her mother-in-law.

"Sama-sama .. it is appropriate that way." Reply to her back.

"Mother, Oma ... Rendy wants to bobo in a new room huh, sleepy!" The child got off the bed and half ran out of the room.

Renita and her mother Malik look at the child with a faint smile.

"You better rest too. Mama's going to sleep too, sleepy ach." The old woman moved from her seat.

"Be careful Mah ..." Renita to her mother-in-law with a soft look.

He walked with a shaky step. Then close the door, and it's alone.

Renita laid herself down after the mother-in-law came out.

The day was getting late, Rendy who had woken up from a nap immediately took a shower and continued playing in the park alone, which she had liked with Genta and wanted to play with him! now he prefers to play alone so that the omah also reprimands him.

"Rendy, why don't you play with Genta? it's not like Rendy likes to play with Genta," the omah's voice.

"Rendy again lazy Oma, again want to play alone," he replied the child.

"Oh so .." continued the oma. "Yes ..it's okay to play alone, but don't go far!"

"Oma's good." Rendy nodded and stared at the Omanya who was sitting back and forth in a chair not far from the park.

Renita is trying to shift her body to reach the wheelchair, her legs are painful hard to move let alone take a step.

The woman went to the bathroom. And want to take a shower. When his hands were about to reach the wheelchair. Shopia came with a face so flat, hands folded in the chest looking at and approaching towards Renita.

"Where are you going?" shopia asked as she stared at Renita's movements.

Renita moved her bead eyes looking towards Sophia. "What is it and what is it?"

"I guess .. I don't need anything! since you yourself can't do anything, there you can only take people!" Shopia stared intently at Renita.

"What do you mean, say it like that? and what's the point of you coming here just to tell me that? because I don't need that talk, because for me .. I realize myself that I can't do anything. But this is not my wish but rather a destiny that I must accept with room!" she said Renita clearly.

"It is good that if you are self-conscious, you should refuse when you want to marry Malik. Because what the hell can you do for him who is now a husband, who you serve him!" Sophia's words were quite spicy which sounded in Renita's ears.

"You don't have to say much because you don't know anything. I just found out that your mouth is more spicy than a level 9 chilli." Renita resolutely replied to the words from Shopia.

"Hoo ... Just found out that my mouth has a level, even higher than that. So prepare your mouth ... burn it out with my words." Shopia smiled cynically.

"But hopefully your spicy level doesn't mean anything to me!" Renita returned Shopia's sharp gaze.

Renita's hand drew the wheelchair closer to her to be occupied.

Renita was dumbfounded to see that, Shopia instead of bringing the chair closer to her, but instead moved the chair close to a wall not far from the exit.

"Honored Lady Renita, I've helped you move this wheelchair away and please take it for yourself!" Shopia smiled triumphantly, then she walked out of the room in a satisfied mood.

Brugh ....

There was the sound of a door that Shopia was closing. Renita looked at the door that was now tightly closed and beside her the wheelchair she needed, actually from earlier Renita wanted to go to the toilet to urinate and all want to take a shower.

"Astagfirullah .. astagfirullah ... God give me patience and give me strength!" he muttered Renita while sighing deeply while thinking. How can he reach a wheelchair far enough from the bed.

Renita tried to put both of her feet on the floor. But there is no energy, which makes him unable to stand let alone step. In the end, his body fell to the floor.

Brugh.

Renita exhaled from her nose violently, her chest felt tight and both her eye beads were dewy. Fluid collects at the end of the eye.

"I don't want to be pitied. I should be able to and I don't want to make anyone else worry including Malik, I should be able to! When he comes home soon. I should've taken a shower." Renita murmured softly and her voice sounded trembling.

Renita is determined that Malik will come home, he has finished bathing so he hastily moved his body, even though he had to suck reach the wheelchair.

Then Renita also tried to raise her body slowly, in order to occupy the wheelchair and thank God. In the end Renita could and she felt relieved.

"Alhamdulillah .. I can finally reach this wheelchair and occupy it, now I have to take a shower. Soon Malik comes home, I don't want to be pitied let alone bother him! at least I should be able to take care of myself." Monologue Renita while turning the wheels of the chair and directing it into the bathroom.

Although difficult or difficult, Renita tried to bathe herself with her intentions that did not want to bother Malik too much.

While in the bathroom, Renita's heart wondered. Is her baby awake and bathed, or is she still in her room?

About 20 minutes later Renita was done cleaning and already looked fresh and fragrant. He who was still wearing a towel kept moving his chair closer to the closet and took his clothes instead.

"Alhamdulillah now I've taken a bath!" he muttered Renita while looking at himself in the mirror reflection while spraying perfume on his body. Don't forget to wear a veil, because she intends to see Rendy in her room! whether the child is awake or not.

But when Renita wants to reach the door handle, the door has been pushed first in and entered Malik along with his voice that said greetings.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Honey where are you going?" Malik's voice while standing right in the middle of the door, staring at the state of the woman in front of him.

"Wa'alaikum greetings ... Em, I want to see Rendy, whether she's up or not, I told her to take a nap and after that I told her to take a shower too but until now she hasn't shown me her nose!" Renita said after kissing the back of Malik's hand.

"Rendy was playing in the park, with mom, seemed to have taken a shower, had changed clothes and smelled her!" he said Malik while keeping his bag on the table.

"Oh .. Have you met him?" renita continued while turning the wheel of the chair away from the door.

"Dear, I just met him. Sweetheart's been showering with each other, auntie?" Malik frowned.

"No .. I try myself I don't want to be too scared of people!" reply Renita.

Malik momentarily fell silent while kneeling before Renita and kissing her forehead.

"If you need anything, need help .. by the way I am, do not hesitate .. I am your husband. You can feel awkward with others but just as I can't talk, just talk." Malik framed Renita's face with both hands.

Renita nodded and flashed through her mind what Shopia had said earlier. But at all he did not want to say it to Malik ....
