107. Midnight Visit of Mother-in-Law
"Where are you, Mum? Why do you seem to disappear like this?" Shafa was constantly pacing around in his room. He can't sleep at all.
"Did something happen to you, Mom?" ask Syafa.
Since his departure to America, indeed Safa and Firman have not made telephone contact at all. Because Syafa still feels pain. So she didn't want to make a fuss with her husband.
Shafa chose to be quiet first, calm down in America and prepare for all the possibilities that will happen. If you see him, the Word prefers to be with Laila. As the two in-laws said. That the Word really loves Laila.
What the hell would he do? That is what Syafa is thinking about. All possibilities are good or bad. Everything is spinning in his head. It made her feel very tormented and unable to sleep at all.
"Are you, Mas Firman with Laila?" At once his heart felt a great jealousy. Syafa was crying in silence, right now, her heart was indeed very messed up, considering that her husband was making out with another woman.
Suddenly the sound of knocking on the door, Syafa immediately wiped away his tears. Worried that the one who came was Rasya, his only son. Syafa did not want to look weak in front of his son, because he was worried about Rasya's mentality that would fall.
Slowly and lazily, Syafa, walked towards the door and opened the door. Syafa was surprised once, when he got his mother-in-law who knocked on the door of his room in the middle of the night like this.
"Mammy? Didn't Mamah just go back to the main residence?" ask Syafa to be confused. Her mother-in-law then went inside Syafa's room, without saying anything. There seemed to be something important he wanted to talk about, so these nights knocked on the door of Shafa and Firman.
"Sit down, Mama wants to talk to you!" his orders.
Submissively, Syafa sat next to her mother-in-law. Which still looks down on his face. He looks like he's squeezing all his fingers. Looks nervous and there is doubt in the look of her face that still looks beautiful, even though she is old.
"Syafa____" for so long he was silent, Syafa patiently waited for what he would say.
"When, the Word apparently prefers to be with Laila. About_____ What are you going to do?" ask him with a heavy voice.
Syafa was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and exhaled violently. There was a pain in his heart. When he imagined what his father-in-law had said. When it really comes true. Is he willing to accept that?
"Syafa's going to ask for a divorce, Mah! Shafa will not be able to, share Mas Firman with other women. Shafa will not be able to share a husband with any woman!" he said, looking very miserable. Her mother-in-law seemed to be crying, she seemed to also feel the sadness that Syafa was currently feeling.
"First, his father Firman had also done something like this. He had an affair and married the woman betrothed. For 2 years, Mama struggled, fighting to keep going. And finally, the woman showed her fangs. So that made his father Firman aware and back to Mama!" his mother said the Word was in a sad state.
Shafa was stunned for a moment, when he heard the story. Not expecting, it turned out that her mother-in-law also kept the same wound as her current self. He has always defended Shafa rather than defending his own son. Apparently, her mother-in-law had experienced the same suffering as her at this time.
"But Mah, Syafa doesn't know. Does Shafa have the power of Mama. Look now, all day, Mr. Firman, you can't be contacted at all." Syafa was silent for a moment, to catch his breath.
"In fact, when Syafa and Rasya were in America not even once did he contact Syafa, Mah! What justice can be given in this polygamy? That's impossible, Mah! The Word will not be fair to Shafa. Shafa won't win, Mah! When it comes to fighting her first love, her love for Laila!" Shafa immediately sobbed, his voice stuck in the throat.
Unbeknownst to them, the current Rasya, also listened to what the two of them were talking about. The boy, who was in his teens, looked sobbing, when he saw his mother crying sobbing. Apparently, Rasya could feel the suffering of his mother. His mother was always with him.
"Try it! Try that! To survive for Rasya! Shafa! Mama please! Give the Word a chance, to realize his mistake at this time. Don't be so impetuous. Do not let you regret the decision you currently want to make. Trust me, Mama! The Word can come back to you. Didn't you also treat her heartache? After the Word was left by Laila?" Syafa was silent for a moment.
"Syafa can't promise, Mah! Syafa will try to see the progress later. How is the attitude and treatment of Mas Firman. Shafa will try to grant Mama's wish. But please, do not force Syafa, if Syafa is not able to face this Mah!" syafa said with tears.
Her mother-in-law then hugged the daughter-in-law who loved her very much. Yes, all this time he really wanted to have a daughter. But he was not lucky because, due to his father's affair, it resulted in the heart injury of his mother's Word. And she finally did a vasectomy operation to give revenge to her husband. So that she could not give any more offspring to her husband. That moment made him feel deeply hurt. Revenge that he eventually regretted.
"Shyafa! Believe that! Mama and Papa must be on your side. Mama just asked you, to be patient in the face of the Word today! Don't get too carried away by emotions!" advice from her mother-in-law.
"Yes, Mah! Shafa will try. Thank you very much, Mah! For all the support of Mama and Papa, for Syafa. In the face of this temptation. Without you, Shafa would not be able to get through it!" then the mother and daughter-in-law also hugged each other giving strength to each other.
Rasya, who was unable to endure his sadness, finally ran to his room and cried in his room. His feelings for his father were mounting. "She hates Papa!" yell Rasya.
"Rasya will never forgive Papa! Rasya promise! Rasya will hate Papa for the rest of Rasya's life!" he said with his tears.
Rasya threw all the things his father had given him. His feelings of hatred towards his father, Rasya were vented against the innocent goods. So now Rasya's room is a mess like a broken ship.
"Rash! Rasha! What's going on in there, son? Open door! Let Mama talk to you! Rasha! Open it up, baby!" outside the door who kept shouting banged on the door of his room Rasya.
But Rasya did not care. Right now, his heart is hurting. He just wanted to vent his feelings by destroying all the things his father had given him.
"Once, let it go! Perhaps, Rasya was upset at his heart. Already, let. Let's just rest. Mama will be back home soon. Earlier, Mama went sneaking out without your father's knowledge. Did your mom go home first? You have to be careful. Remember Mama's message okay?" after saying goodbye to his mother, Firman finally went home and returned to his own residence.
After the situation in Rasya's room was calm. Shafa finally went to his own room. And trying to sleep. Because now it is already midnight almost 02:00 p.m.
