FOR HER SAKE
S2 - Mother-in-Law

Braggkar is pushed to the ER. On it, Alvaro was already unconscious. Tiara could only pray and plead with God to save her husband's life. Give him a chance to spend more time with the young man who has managed to win his heart.

Tiara cried violently when the nurse forbade her to enter the ER room. Waiting for Alvaro to be dealt with was like waiting for his own death.

Before long, Pricilla came and immediately hugged the body of her best friend who was sitting on the floor, staring at the door of the ER room that was tightly closed.

"Patience Ra.. You must be strong." said Pricilla trying to strengthen. Even though his own voice was shaking. I feel the fear my friend feels. Tears were also not able to hold the girl. Can't stand to see his best friend slump like this.

"Alvaro´s.. Sil! he's fucked up because of me!" his screams. Many people who passed by looked at the two girls who were hugging while crying. "If only I wanted to beat him up. This is definitely not going to happen! it's all my fault!"

Pricilla caught Tiara's wrist banging on her own head. "It's not your fault! this is God's way to strengthen your love! so you can show if you can be a good wife by taking care of your husband who is sick again. Let you also be more trusting of your husband in the future!" exciting Pricilla. Holding Tiara's upper arm tightly.

"But if Al doesn't wake up again how is Sil? I will not be able to forgive myself! I would definitely be wrong with Al's family! and I wouldn't be able to live without him!" tiara's cry was still heartbreaking. Anyone who hears can feel as much pain as the girl feels.

"Lo's been living for years without Alvaro. And you can! so don't tell me you can't live without her." hugged the body that still shook from the crying. "And you can't think of a no-no. Alvaro will be fine. He will be back with you again. You should pray for that. And you must believe the prayer you pray."

Tiara no longer answered. The girl was dissolved in grief. Choose to recite the prayers he can, rather than saying the no-no. Fill his mind about Alvaro who will soon come to his senses and greet him with a smile. Imagine the happy times they spent together.

Imagine the future they will achieve. Alvaro has its own company. He became a great doctor. Having children who are cute and handsome like a duplicate of himself and the husband.

Until the sound of footsteps and calls from his parents disperse his daydream.

"Sister."

"Mommy..." Tiara immediately stood up and hugged the body of the woman who had given birth to her. There will always be warmth in every hug that his mommy gives. It is that immeasurable love that brings warmth.

"Why can a mother's child be like this?" her mother-in-law's voice made Tiara let go of the mommy's embrace.

Tiara told me everything. From her coming to the cafe and finding Alvaro kissing with a girl named Lala who is said to be her husband's childhood best friend. Until an accident occurs when Alvaro tries to explain.

"Sorry Tiara, ma'am, yah." said Tiara Lirih as she lowered her head. "If only Tiara would listen to my brother's explanation."

Her mother-in-law approached. Hugging the same sad and worried daughter-in-law as her. "It's not your fault, baby. Whoever was in your position at the time would have done the same. It's just your bad luck. The brother who was less careful, did not think about his safety. Do you believe in God's destiny?" Tiara nodded in response.

"What you experience is also God's destiny. So we just pray for your brother's safety."

Tiara grew increasingly tearful getting very good treatment from her in-laws. Things he doesn't deserve. But the girl thanked him. Grateful to have a very good mother-in-law.

***

After various treatments until surgery. Alvaro was moved to the ICU because of his critical condition. Injuries to his head and spine are quite serious. Doctors have delivered some of the worst possible events that could happen as Alvaro regains consciousness.

Prayers are chanted endlessly in the heart. So did endless tears from both of his eyes. The person who used to hate him so much is now a person who means a lot to him.

An enormous guilt was still lodged in his chest. This is all because of it. It's all his fault. A jealous blind fool's wife. A selfish wife who does not want to give her husband a chance to explain. That means it in the heart. And many more insults which the girl refers to herself as an outlet of her guilt.

"Eat first darling." her mother-in-law thrust a spoon that already contained food on it. Food that an hour ago mommy Shevi bought and untouched not even glimpsed.

"The air is not a laper ma'am." dismiss the girl with a hoarse voice that is almost inaudible.

"If you don't want to eat, you will get sick. If you realize you continue to know you are sick, surely you will be angry with your mother because you cannot take care of her wife."

"Al would be so angry with me, Mom? because of me, he's getting sick like this."

"Do you believe in the same love for you?" asked the mother who was answered nodding by her daughter-in-law. "If you believe it, you know that you can't possibly be angry with this half-dead girl."

"But I'm afraid, ma'am." the crying broke again.

Alvaro's mother placed the food on the bench next to him. Hugged and rubbed his daughter-in-law's back affectionately.

"You want to hear the story of your brother who wants to get married?" Mom remembers the night she went to Alvaro's room.

"Remember the story, she said you were a strong girl. Although often he usilin until you cry, but you will return a cheerful smile like nothing happened. Make your brother more challenged to prank you. Mom hit him that time." Mom chuckled in the middle of her worry.

"The bad boy then the story. How beautiful you are when you are angry, smiling, frowning, thinking, laughing. Keep asking mom. When does she not look beautiful? brother said. 'That woman never looked ugly, ma'am. She's the prettiest girl you've ever seen.' She knows she loves you."

"But first brother nyebelin tau ma'am." fought Tiara who was leaning on the chest of his mother-in-law. There is a sense of happiness from the story told in-laws. Especially her husband's words.

"Abang just tried deket same you in a different way aja darling. He can only knock you that way. Because he didn't have a chance to get you over that."

Tiara nodded. He had heard the reason from Alvaro's own mouth.

Mommy Shevi who was sitting not far from them smiled happily. Feeling grateful his son got a good in-law, even though the way to get it is not good.
