DUREN ANTIG VS WIDOW ANTIG
WIDOW ANTIG 2
Do’a together continue to be done until the seventh day. On the second day, Risma was able to help in the kitchen. His children are beginning to calm down. For the children thing, fortunately there is a reliable Wiliam. The menu of the days is also different. Starting from vegetable rice lodeh tofu egg tempe on the first day, rice pecel with egg side dish and tempe on the second day. Soto chicken, mixed rice, vegetable fillings, chicken rica-rica and lastly is rawon. The seventh day is the most crowded among other days. A co-worker of her late husband came in with a lot of meat the day before the seven-day event. The menu has changed. Initially they will make rawon to eat after do’a together. And for the chicken, they will cook red seasoning as a complement to rice in a box with blessing terms. Because it got a lot of meat from Erik's colleagues, rendang eventually became a complementary side dish.
“We make rice box how many mbak Risma?” ask bu RT.
“One hundred and fifty bu” replied Risma for fear of less later. Yes, the rice box that initially will only make a hundred to one hundred and fifty just in case Erik's colleagues who come later is very much. If leftover, it's not a problem. Neighbors are usually willing to bring a double for relatives who cannot attend or for those who have many family members. There is still an aushan parlor at the end of the village ready to receive food with pleasure. So, in the village where Risma lives no one feels confused if there is still a lot of leftovers when having an event.
“Thanks for his presence mendo’a the deceased. I'm sorry if during Mas Erik's life there was something wrong with his colleagues. I ask for his sincerity” said Risma when delivering the departure of Erik's colleagues.
“There is nothing wrong with Captain Erik. He is a good man. Good leader and partner. Honestly we are very lost he” replied one representing all of them.
“Thanks. I am also grateful for your help during this time. Only God can repay the kindness of all colleagues”
“Amins. Insha Allah forty daily, we try to present”
After pleasantries and small talk, they went home and left Risma and Wiliam and bi Ani.
“Bi, tomorrow I will return to the city. Aunty here accompanies them huh?” said Wiliam and embraced by Bi Ani.
“Oh yes Brother Wil. Can Brother Wiliam find information about the Angara family home in the city? If possible, we want to stay there only” pinta Risma after remembering that his late parents once bought a house in the city.
“Kak Wil do. Do not forget to tell your sister if there is anything” message Wiliam and get a two thumbs up answer from Risma.

Erik's forty daily events went well. The day after Risma will follow Wiliam to the city. William set it up a week ago. The problem of the house asked by Risma, it was true that papa and Mama Risma bought a house in the city. Based on the information that Wiliam got, the house is still on behalf of his late father, Imam Anggara.
“After the same city, we meet the notary who used to take care of the land letter of the house. There are things to say he said” said Wiliam when helping Risma pack.
“Connecting with dad?” risma asked, guessing.
“Maybe it has something to do with the house it”
“When you bought that house, you said that someday, it will be needed. Dad also planned to move to the city so that his fate would be better. But unfortunately, before the father and mother moved, an accident occurred until they left this world for eternity” said Risma sad.
“All there must be hikmah” entertain Wiliam and rubbed the shoulders of Risma.
“That house even Ria doesn't know. How do you know?” ask Wiliam curious.
“Kak Ria knows. It's just that he doesn't know where it is and doesn't want to find out. That's how Mr. Ria used to say” answered Risma according to what Ria said first.
“Indeed a bit far from his workplace. That might make him lazy. He is comfortable with his boarding place” added Wiliam and Risma nodded.
“Oh yes Ris, I have hired cleaning services for the next five years. They will clean the entire house at least once a week to twice. So you don't have to worry. This house will always awake”
“Thanks to you, Brother Wil” said Risma terpengharu.
“School for the twins is also near the Anggara family home. Brother Wil choose a location that can be reached only by foot from rumah”
“Do not think. You are a friend and sister brother, so do not hesitate yes?” William rattled Risma's hair.
The day quickly passed and it was time for them to leave the village full of memories both sweet and bitter. Risma is determined to rise and become a mother and father for her three children. Risma who was once just a housewife must be the backbone of her small family.
“I can definitely” Risma's determination when she set foot first in this S city.
“Already, you can definitely. Later I will help as much as possible” said Wiliam.
“Do not. I want to be independent. Promise later if I need help, I will contact big brother” reject Risma subtly. There's been too much help from Wiliam for him. That's enough and you can't depend on it too much. Maybe someday it will need help from Wiliam. That Risma did when the situation was desperate and had no other choice.
“Mother, we'll stay here?” riana asked who was walking in her arms.
“Iya darling. My sister will be in school here too. May our lives be better. Amin”
“Randi and Rama, why stay quiet dear?” tanya Risma saw that her two sons were just silent without a word all the way.
“Randi is just tired bunda” replied Randi lethargic.
“Yama antuk bunda”
“Ya. You can sleep in the car. That car has come” said Wiliam and sure enough, a car with a passenger capacity of ten has stopped right in front of them. With a hasty step, Rama and Randi went straight in as soon as the door was opened by the driver. They both find the most comfortable position to sleep in. Risma and Wiliam also Bi Ani shook her head looking at Randi's behavior.
Sure enough, not yet the journey reaches ten minutes, either Randi or Rama has been adventuring to the dreamland. While Riana was still in sleepy mode while leaning herself against Risma's chest.
“Dear too? Want to sleep like adek and brother?” ask Risma gently.
“Iya. But he wants to alone on the mother” whining Riana with his hoarse voice resisting sleepiness.
“Iya. Here sleeping in baha mama. A soundly ya babe”
With full of softness, Risma rubbed Riana's hair and sang the song do not give up from D’masiv with her merdunya voice. Risma's favorite song when tired crashing. This song makes Risma rise again and believe in the power of God. The song that became the moodboster of a Kharisma Permana.
