Being Married to My First Love
Season2. Debts

"Then what's the reason your grandfather crossed you off as heir and took all his possessions from you?" ask Fely who is still curious about the fate of her new husband.

However, Raka was silent. Raka seemed to be thinking of something.

"Why didn't you answer? please don't lie to me anymore!" fely said with emphasis in every word.

"Okay, I'll answer but you promised me first please don't say this to your family, actually I don't want you and your family to be sad because of this," said Raka which makes Feli more curious.

Fely breathed his heavy breath. "OK tell!"

"Actually grandfather did that purely .. because grandfather does not approve if I marry you. That's why my grandfather forced me to accept an arranged marriage with Maura. If I hadn't married Maura then, grandfather would have crossed me as heir and grandfather threatened to harm my mother if I didn't."

"I'm sorry because I was forced to choose to leave you and marry Maura. I think the reason grandfather insisted on wanting to return the favor to his grandfather Maura, it turns out that at the time when Maura was no grandfather still opposed my desire to marry you." Raka explained at length.

Feli gasped at the explanation from Raka. Feli instantly closed his slightly open mouth with both palms of his hands. Fely felt very sad because his grandfather Raka was so against Raka to marry him.

"What's your grandfather's reason for opposing our marriage? is it because my parents aren't rich enough and aren't comparable to your grandfather?" asked Feli with tears that began to drip from both corners of his eyes.

Raka looked at his wife softly and then shook her head. "I don't think it's because of that. But I don't know, to be honest I don't know the real reason why Grandpa is so against marrying you. Grandpa has not yet said why. What is clear is that grandfather had said, if I can marry anyone other than you," Raka said.

"Who but me?!" said Feli repeating the words of Raka.

His heart ached hearing that. He wonders what is wrong with him until his grandfather Raka hates him so much. She had never even met her husband's grandfather.

"Raka, didn't your grandfather not know me, how could your grandfather be so against you marrying me?" ask Fely.

"I don't know either, Fe. But, I'm sure grandpa already knows all your identities as well as your family background. Because my grandfather must have found out about you from his men," said Raka revealed the usual actions of his grandfather.

Feli sobbed when he heard that, he was confused why his grandfather Raka could not want him to be Raka's wife. He thought hard about what his mistake was? or is there anything less than him that his grandfather Raka really dislikes.

"Please, stop crying again, Fe! don't think about my grandfather! I shouldn't have told you about this. My heart hurts if you feel sad like that. I don't care about Grandpa's blessing or his property. This time I no longer want to obey the selfish grandfather's wish to separate us."

"I will fight to take care of you and protect you. I believe we can definitely live happily even without the help of my grandfather!" said Raka while embracing the body of Feli into his arms and rubbing his wife's back with full attention.

"Although this fact hurts me so much, you should still say it to me. In the future, please never hide anything from me. We have to be honest and trust each other. Don't ever lie again, we'll face it all together."

"I'll try to get your grandfather to bless our marriage, take me to meet your grandfather. If your grandfather doubts my sincerity towards you, I will prove to your grandfather until your grandfather believes that my love is sincere with you" Feli said on the sidelines sobbing.

"My grandfather was very cruel, Fe. I can't get you to meet him. I can't let grandfather hurt you or keep you away from me anymore" Raka said anxiously.

Fely grew sobbing, a sense of sadness raging within his chest. It was also quite burdensome for his mind. When marriage does not get the blessing of one of the families it feels very sad.

Raka tried to calm his wife. There were tears that had wet his wife's cheeks, then re-hugged her and gently rubbed the tops of his wife's head so that Fely felt calm.

After a while the felt was better and did not cry anymore. Raka asks Fely to wait for her. Raka went somewhere in the corner of the square to buy something.

Fely continued to watch Raka who passed away until she stopped at a tavern. A moment later Raka returned while carrying something in her right hand.

"Diajeng, this is for you. I have since noticed a very good buyer. I was curious to buy it for you. I choose chocolate flavored ones. Chocolate can improve mood. I hope it helps you get your mood back better, I want to see you smile happily with me instead of being sad like that. This is eat, baby!" said Raka while extending her hand carrying the ice cream waffle she bought earlier in front of Fely.

Fely received it, and began to taste it. Apparently true, ice cream with fish-shaped waffles is very tasty, the sweet chocolate taste has made him momentarily forget the problem earlier. Unaware he kept on devouring it. But, he immediately stopped when he remembered that Raka only bought one fruit.

"Why did you buy just one? you should try it too!" said Fely while thrusting his ice cream towards Raka.

"No, you're the one who spent it, baby!" reject Raka while sliding Fely's hand back in front of her.

"Wouldn't it be more romantic if we shared? we can spend it together! or don't you because this is my ex?" fely asked when she received a rejection from her husband.

"If only I could eat from your lips alone, Diajeng," said Raka, looking fixedly at his wife's lips.

Fely immediately pinched her husband's waist.

"Aww...hurt, dear!" said Raka while stroking the former pinch of his wife.

"Biarin, who told you to be so perverted!" fely said while chuckling.

"Essum same wife time can not!" raka protest.

"Yes you don't want the same place. We're in a public place" Fely said.

"Okay, it means later if you are at home can dong!" roka Goda.

"Ishh, what the hell! ah come home yuk, we have a duty nganter grandmother to the airport, youhoh!"

"Oh yeah, what time is the plane?" ask Raka.

"Nine o'clock, if not wrong!" Fely.

Raka immediately looked towards the clock in her hand. "Jeez, it's eight and a half, Diajeng. Quickly finish the ice cream after that we go home, because we have to hurry!"

"Bantuin!" pinta Fely with spoiled.

Finally, they finished the ice cream together. After that, Raka and Fely rushed to the parking lot, so it was not too late to take grandma.

"So, is everything ready?" ask Maya to Arum's grandmother.

"Don't worry, I've prepared everything!" replied Grandma Arum.

"Bulek's definitely back, right?" ask Maya.

"certain. I want to spend the rest of my life in my homeland. After the business of distributing the inheritance of your uncle's legacy is finished, I will return soon. I asked Abiyu to find someone to renovate my parents' house and I will stay until God calls me."

"It does not feel relieved if it has not been completed to carry out the message from your Lik sir, Maya. He ordered to share the inheritance of his children fairly."

"Your sister, worried that after her death her son will fight only because of the inheritance is not much if there is no black on the white that has been written their names. For that before I leave Riau, I want to carry out the mandate of my late husband so that after my death they will receive their respective parts fairly according to Islamic law."

"And, he ordered to declare a piece of land that he bought first, to be handed over to the villagers to build a mosque. Has not been able to make it happen, he has been called by God. That's why Bulek wants to realize the last wish of your lek sir. Is not the treasure that can accompany us to the Hereafter come from alms and infaq in the way of Allah. Bulek hopes that your brother's wish can be accepted by God, and your uncle will get shade from his alms reward on the day of the apocalypse" said Arum's grandmother.

"Aamiin, if so should be hastened, Bulek. God willing, good intentions will be facilitated by God" Maya said in response.

"Aamiinu. There's one more thing that makes me why I had to come all the way here, Maya. I have to make sure that Fely is married to the right person. And, it turns out it was just right. So that I feel relieved," said Arum's grandmother.

"Aamiin, don't worry about it, Bulek. Pray that their future marriage will be blessed by Allah and bring blessings, Bulek!" maya paused her words. "Oh yes, Bulek, who will accompany Bulek to stay in the house? shouldn't you just stay in this house and accompany Fely?" Maya is worried about her parents if they have to live alone in her old house.

"It's close to the neighbors. Anyway not far from this house, later if need something I will ask Fely to come. The house has many memories of my childhood, I want to stay there. Once, the house was sold by your mother, May. After I got married and had enough money I went back to find the buyer. Fortunately, the buyer of the house was still willing to sell it back to me, so that the house can return to me," Arum's grandmother told me.

"Why did my mom sell him a bulek?" ask Maya.

"To pay a considerable debt, May. We have no choice but to sell the house because it is being chased by debt collectors. After that, your mother and I hitchhiked to my house to survive. That's not enough to pay off her debt, May. Your mother and I had to work hard to earn money by working in your grandfather's farm. Until I drop out of school."

"Yet, in the end your mother married your father. It was your father who helped pay off those debts and pay for my school. We owe your father so much that our lives could be better" Arum's grandmother said.

Maya feels washed up in the story. He could feel how difficult it was back then, when looking at his bulky netra that was starting to dew. This was the first time she had heard the story about her mother's life before marrying her father.

Maya clasped the back of her hand to strengthen it. "My mom owes me that much for what, Bulik?" ask Maya who is still curious about the reason her mother can owe that much. His mother never told him that.
