Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
Prospective Son-in-law of the Wijaya Kusuma Family

"For Arumi is a widow?" guess Lena. Without hearing Firdaus' answer, Lena already knew the reason why her husband disagreed if Rayyan married Arumi.

The woman's hand was stretched out upwards, rubbing the crystal granules that blotted her cheeks. Although her eyes were swollen from crying and a raucous voice, Lena still revealed her heart.

"It seems like Papa forgot, when he married me, wasn't Mama also a widow? Papa remember no, how was the beginning of our meeting?" Lena tried to recall the first time they met. The memories still remain in the memory of the woman.

The woman looked at Firdaus with an indecipherable look in her eyes. Then, the next second he smiled wryly.

"Widow or virgin is just a status. Although a virgin, it did not guarantee the girl was able to make Rayyan's ice-cold heart melt. The proof alone, yesterday afternoon there was a girl who was still a virgin came here to propose to Rayyan, but it turns out that our child's heart is not moved in the slightest. Rayyan would rather leave this house than marry Papa's chosen girl."

"That proves that in Rayyan's eyes, a virgin girl has no meaning whatsoever than a woman who has ever been married. After all, according to Mama, Arumi is a good woman. He can protect Rayyan despite being younger than our son."

"And the most important thing is, Rayyan is comfortable to be on Arumi's side. Isn't that more than enough for us as parents, to see our children happy with a partner of his own choice."

Firdaus walked slowly closer to the window of the room. Directing the eyes to a point right in front of him.

Sighing deeply as she said, "Indeed, Arumi is a good woman. Has a brilliant achievement in the medical world, but Papa still doubts whether he can make my son, Ma happy. As we know, Arumi separated from her husband because she was never pregnant."

The look of disappointment was painted on his face. Just a few minutes in one room, discussing many things the middle-aged woman was disappointed for the second time by her beloved husband.

Lena closed her eyes briefly, trying to control the emotions that were dammed within her. Then, he looked back with a pushy gaze towards Firdaus.

"Anyone's happiness is determined by the presence or absence of a child in a family? Papa can guarantee, Rayyan will be happy if married to Naura while at that time Papa's chosen girl has given a child to Rayyan?" lena cecar.

The woman stood up, tidying up the long dress she was wearing. "Pa, I know very well how Naila treated Arumi all this time. Although I tried to turn a deaf ear when I joined my socialite friends, but my keku soul overcame all."

"My friend was always insulting, comparing Arumi to Kayla and she was always rude towards Arumi. I'm sure, because that's why Arumi's not pregnant yet. The amount of pressure from Naila is so great that it makes Arumi's psyche disturbed. Had Naila treated Arumi well, I guarantee the Beautiful Doctor can get pregnant and give birth to cute and adorable children."

"I want to prove my theory to be true, Pa. The theory is that Arumi is a normal woman, who can get pregnant just like any woman out there. Since Rayyan loves Arumi, why don't we help the woman to silence the evil mouth of those people. Papa wants to bless them?"

Grabbed Firdaus' hand, then clasped it tightly with love. "Please, please allow Rayyan to marry Arumi for the happiness of our son. Mama is sure, with the love and affection we give Arumi, someday, the woman will get pregnant. As long as we don't put pressure on him."

Lena's eyes are full of hope. When the woman pleaded with Firdaus to allow Rayyan to marry Arumi, there was not the slightest bit of ill will in the woman's heart. Lena is sincere about loving Rayyan and wants her stepson to live happily with the woman she loves.

Again Firdaus sighed deeply and looked at Lena. "Well, I'm expecting Rayyan to marry Arumi. And I will also accept the woman as part of the family of Wijaya Kusuma."

The woman in the long green tosca dress smiled. His chest felt light as if a large chunk of rock had been lifted inside him.

"Thank you, Pa. Mama is sure, Rayyan will be happy because he has pocketed the blessing of his beloved Papa." A kiss Lena gave on Firdaus' cheek.

"Arumi, Auntie already knows that you are currently in love with Rayyan," said Lena when she had sat with Arumi at a coffee shop near the hospital.

Arumi frowned, trying to remember when she told Lena about her personal problems. As Arumi recalls, only Nyimas, Rini and Rio alone knew that he and Rayyan had a special relationship other than superiors and subordinates.

Lena chuckled softly. Before answering the question that came to Arumi's mind, Lena first grabbed the coffee cup that was on the table. Sip it slowly while enjoying the typical fragrant sauce of selected coffee.

"I mean, Auntie, how? I don't understand." Arumi frowned until a fine line appeared there. He was puzzled by the direction of the middle-aged woman sitting before him.

A smile on Lena's face. "Oh .. apparently Rayyan hasn't told you." The woman's head went down and up. Then, he again said, "It's only natural that the boy didn't tell you, because the relationship between us wasn't so close."

The middle-aged woman extended a hand forward, gesturing for Arumi to shake her hand.

"Include me, I am Lena-the mother of Muhammad Rayyan Firdaus who is none other than your lover and future husband, Rumi."

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Arumi's body limp suddenly heard Lena's words saying that the good woman was the stepmother of her lover. Arumi's eyes were perfectly wide open and his jaw was wide open. He did not think if the woman who had been called ja*ang and often reviled by the sexy lips of the lover turned out to be the woman who always defended Arumi when she was insulted and bullied by Naila and her former mother-in-law's friends.

Lena smiled again at the expression of her future daughter-in-law. The face when Arumi was in confusion looked so adorable. Rayyan was crazy about the flower widow.

"You must have heard a lot of stories about Aunt Rayyan, right? How bad is Aunt in the boy's eyes." The oddity slowly sounded. "However, Aunt never blamed the boy at all, for everything he said was true."

"But, Aunt's intention and purpose is to invite you to meet not to discuss the past let alone look for justification for a mistake. Aunty here just wants to convey the trust of her late mother Rayyan."

The woman's hand reached for the bag on her right side. Then, reach into a brown box and put it on the table.

"In here there is a legacy ring that is given downhill to the prospective daughter-in-law of the family of Wijaya Kusuma. Before Ma'am Mei Ling died, she left this to be given to Rayyan's future wife."

"For many years, Aunt kept this ring and I think it's the right time to hand it to a woman who has the desire to wear it" Lena said at length.

Not yet over Arumi's shock over the fact that the woman sitting in front of her is the extended mother of her future husband. Now he was surprised again with a fact that in a small box on the table was a family heritage object that would later be worn by Arumi as a symbol that he was the future daughter-in-law of the Wijaya Kusuma Family.

"Tante .. i-ini-" said Arumi stammering as the woman's fingers flicked open the small box in front of her.

A smile on the face. Lena nodded while looking at Arumi and the small box in turn.

Somehow the story goes, the family's legacy ring has been coiled around Arumi's ring finger. The ring is so stunning and very fitting in Arumi's taut fingers.

"Along with the ring, Aunt represents Mas Firdaus and Mbak Mei Ling, stating that you are the woman who will be the next daughter-in-law of the Wijaya Kusuma family. May you bring happiness to Rayyan."

Arumi doesn't know what to answer. The corner of the woman's eyes almost shed tears. Didn't think that would get a sweet surprise from the good woman who always defended him when everyone was gossiping about him. Really, he felt lucky because it turned out that Lena and Firdaus had approved of his relationship with Rayyan.

"Welcome to the family of Wijaya Kusuma, Arumi." Lena shuffled to the next chair, then tightly hugged Arumi's body lovingly.
