Being Married to My First Love
Wisdom
The night was quiet, only eight o'clock Qila had fallen asleep after completing the task of coloring it. Reyna was asked to accompany Qila. There, Grandma Qila told me a lot about Shila.
Shila used to be a surgeon just like Dimas. But after Qila's presence, Dimas did not allow Shila to work in the hospital. Then Shila persuades Dimas to set up a clinic in her home. So that Shila can keep working while being able to take care of her child. However, when she drives alone, Shila has an accident while pregnant with their second child. Since Shila's departure, Dimas has been devastated and indifferent to the events around him. Even Dimas forbade Qila from playing outside the house or to the clinic. Be that quiet and lonely boy.
Reyna then returned to her room to rest. The window of the room was left open so that he could look up at the sky that night. Reyna desperately longs for her moments together with Rangga, staring at the moon and stars in the gazebo of grandfather's house.
By, I missed you so much!
What are you doing now, By?
By, in my womb there's our son. You always look forward to when he'll be there, don't you? Now God gives it to us.
You're going to be a father, though,
And I'm gonna be a mother...
By, I'm sorry!
Because of my negligence to leave the house without your permission, causing misunderstandings among us...
O God, please forgive my sin, I beg You, meet me with my husband!
Tok.shock.
The sound of knocking on the door blew Reyna's daydream.
"Reyna, are you asleep?" say someone from outside.
The wheelchair approached the door. Reyna quickly opened the door to her room. Dimas was standing at the door.
"Doctor, what's up, Doc?" ask Reyna.
"Sorry to interrupt the nights, I just got the info from the security guard who was on duty at the station. He said your missing bag had been found, only the phone didn't exist. Wallet found but empty, chances are the money has been taken by the thief. This is a photo of the items found in your bag" Dimas handed Reyna his phone.
Seen in the photo identity card, SIM and some debit cards belong to Reyna.
"Thank God, it's okay, Doc. The cash is also not much. These cards are enough for me" Reyna said. He returned the phone to Dimas.
"Yes you're right, taking care of lost cards takes a long process. Unfortunately, your phone did not come back. The thief also managed to escape," said Dimas.
"Handphones can be bought, Doc! Just ikhlaskan. All we have to do is rely on God. For all that happens in this world is with the permission of God. What we need to understand is to take wisdom from the calamity we experienced. This is the time for us to self-pity. The misfortune that I am experiencing at this time, could be a reprimand for the negligence that I did. Maybe when we lose what we have, God wants us to be more grateful for what we have. This is a warning to us to care more about others. And when God tested me with pain in my sprained leg, it could be that God wanted me to be more patient in the face of trials, that way God will abort some of the sins we commit,"
"For those who have stolen my bag, may Allah lead them down the right path" Reyna said at length.
Dimas was like being struck by lightning with Reyna's words just now. He used to blame God when he lost his wife. In fact, he is protracted in adversity and does not care about others. While his wife was still alive, he only cared about his happiness with his son and wife. And ignore the presence of others around him. So when God took his wife, Dimas felt his life was empty and out of direction. Even Dimas' initial intention to help Reyna, only because his face was similar to his late wife's. He just realized, it turns out that all this time he did not interpret his life well.
"Reyna, I salute your words just now. Thank you for reminding me. All this time I was in sadness without caring about others" he said.
"Together, Doc. Our fellow humans should remind each other!"
"Doctor, rest assured there will be happiness after the hardship that befalls us," said Reyna sincerely.
"Well Reyna, it's night, you better get some rest. Excuse me first, will you?" pamit Dimas's.
"Good, Doc. Have a good rest" after Dimas's death, Reyna shut the door to her room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, morning Grandma!" sapa Rangga once arrived at the grandfather's residence. Rangga approached the grandmother who was watering orchid flowers to her mole.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Reyna's not coming home?" ask Grandma.
I was confused by Grandma's question. Reyna shouldn't be here. Why did grandma even ask Rangga about Reyna's whereabouts.
"Emm... Isn't Reyna here, Grandma?" answer Rangga lirih.
"God, Rangga. So where is Reyna now?!" grandma looked worried.
"Don't Grandma tell Reyna to Jogja? Rangga thought that Reyna had come home now" said Rangga sadly.
"Yesterday Grandma called her Aunt Reyna. The day after her Uncle's death, Reyna went to Solo to catch up with you. He said you were sick? That's why Reyna rushed to Solo," the grandmother explained.
"But Reyna didn't come to see Rangga, Grandma!" Rangga.
"Where is Reyna then? She was pregnant!" grandma was sitting on the porch chair, her face looking very anxious.
Rangga was surprised to hear the words from Grandma, "What, Grandma? Reyna's pregnant?"
Rangga felt very happy while feeling overwhelmed. Happy with Reyna's pregnancy. And, sad about the problems that happened.
"Yes..! He even fainted on the plane, he said. Luckily he met Abi's son at the airport, so someone helped him. Try if no one knows how! " say Grandma.
Rangga was surprised. All this time he had misunderstood his wife. But where did Reyna go. Why did he not arrive in Solo. Did something bad happen on the way to Solo. Or Reyna with Abiyu again. Rangga is getting dizzy.
"Sir, Rangga went to the room first? Rangga will try to call Mira and find out where Reyna is. Grandma don't worry too much" said Rangga then passed into the house.
Rangga sat on the edge of his bedroom bed. He misses his wife very much. He took the phone in his pants pocket. Then he called Reyna's phone number. But again the number is not active, up to three times.
You where Hana is! O Allah, please protect him and the fetus in his womb. Find me with my wife, God."
"Oiya, Mira must know. I'll try to call him." said Rangga.
"City, Ga. What's up?" Mira picked up her phone.
"Call, Mir. Is Reyna with you?" ask Rangga.
"No, Ga. Just two days ago Reyna had not yet entered work. Even his number could not be reached. Grandma says Reyna's going to Jogja." said Mira.
"Yes, Mir kemaren Reyna is indeed to Jogja. But after that he did not go home," said Rangga.
"Astaghfirullah, where is Reyna? Anyway you should find Reyna until you get it, Ga!" said Mira.
"Yes, Mir. I'll let you know when I meet. Yes, I wanted to find Reyna" he said.
"Yes!" phone's on the lid.
Rangga grabbed her hair in frustration. Rangga put the phone on the nightstand. It's not Reyna's nightstand drawer. Who knows if there's a clue he can get. I saw some novel books.
"Eh..this what?" open the bottom book pile. It looks like a little book like a diary in green and the princess on the cover. However, the page cannot be opened because it is locked.
He tried to find the key but did not find it. He brought books to the dresser. There was a hairpin of elongated iron. He tried to tinker with the padlock. The third try finally opened the lock.
