Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
Wait for me there
A few days later, Lena's health condition after waking up from a coma had begun to improve even though the woman's psychic was still a little shaken after being left for Paradise forever, but the doctor has allowed Raihan's biological mother out of the hospital. However, for his own burns, the medical team raised their hands. In addition to inadequate health support facilities, the condition of the wounds was considered very serious so that it made them retreat slowly. Even if surgery is performed, the results are not satisfactory. There will be many burn scars scattered on some parts of the body of the second wife of Paradise.
"Will you be ready to go home?" raihan asked to confirm whether the mother had finished packing. Puspa is still loyal to be a personal nurse to a handsome lecturer's biological mother.
A silent atmosphere was created. There was no word of anything sliding off Lena's lips. His eyes looked straight ahead, as if his soul was lost in a different dimension.
Puspa and Raihan looked at each other, then turned to look at Lena who was sitting pensively on the bed.
"Of course it's ready, Mr. Raihan. Since last night, Bu Lena was so enthusiastic, because so long apart he was finally able to stay with you again," said Puspa, trying to melt the atmosphere that seemed gripping.
Raihan smiled wryly. He looked at Lena with a sad eye. His heart was broken to pieces seeing the suffering of my mother for these few days. A smile always adorning her beautiful face is now replaced by a face full of sadness.
Every second, minute and hour Lena daydreams. Not infrequently he shed tears every time he remembered the figure of his beloved husband. The man who had accompanied her for a dozen years just left without saying goodbye to her first. He felt lonely, there was no longer any hope of life after the departure of Paradise from this mortal world.
"Yes, if it's all done let's go home now. I've asked the Mbok to prepare Mama's favorite meal. Mama must have liked it." Raihan rubbed Lena's shoulder gently, then helped Puspa carry the body of the mother in a wheelchair.
Along the way down the hospital hallway, not a single person would say. They are busy with their own thoughts.
A four-wheeled vehicle purchased for its severe work during his time as a lecturer, drove through the streets of the capital. Every now and then Raihan glanced at the rear-view mirror before him, watching Lena in the back seat. Nothing had changed, the middle-aged woman was still unmoved without opening her mouth at all.
'Lord, help my mother pass all these tests. Do not let Mama continue to dissolve in sadness.' Raihan prayed in his heart, may God be merciful and willing to help Lena out of the difficulties that are being faced.
Red light makes the vehicle stop. Same with Raihan's car. While waiting for the red light to turn green, the man looked at the beauty around from inside the car.
"Take Mama to Papa's grave. Mama wants to see your Papa's last bed before you go home" Lena said. A cold tone of voice, an expressionless flat face.
The woman's words made Raihan look back. The two eyebrows are linked together. "Mommy sure you want to go to Papa's grave?"
Lena stared intently at Raihan, replying, "Why not sure! The man who was buried one week ago is my husband, there is no reason for me not to see his grave. Although our marriage is serial, not recognized by the state and the entire extended family of Wijaya Kusuma, but my status in the eyes of religion is his rightful wife until this very moment."
Raihan was quite stunned at the reply of the mother. Every sentence that was said was cynical, making the man did not expect that Lena's attitude changed slightly after the death of Paradise.
***
At exactly ten in the morning local time, Raihan has arrived at the funeral of the father. That morning, not only the group of handsome lecturers who made a pilgrimage to the tomb, there were also some people who came to the funeral menziarahi relatives who had left this mortal world first. Sunlight broke through the trees, not too hot but quite shady.
Raihan stopped right next to the tomb of his beloved father who rested quietly. He crouched down, clearing the dry leaves that were lying on top of Firdaus's tomb while Lena sat quietly in a wheelchair. The woman stared pushyly at the husband's last bed.
"Mas Firdaus, it's me, Lena." The woman paused for a moment her sentence, breathing as much air as possible to fill her lungs. "I'm sorry, because I just had time to make a pilgrimage to your grave. During this one week, I was lying in the hospital undergoing some of the treatment recommended by the Doctor before the medical team finally invited me home."
"You know, Mom, how do I feel when I find out that you've been out of this world forever? My feelings were mixed, between sadness and disappointment. Sad, because I had to lose a man who was so sincere in loving and accepting me for who I was. However, on the one hand, I was disappointed in you because you left without saying goodbye to me first. In fact, when the Angel of Death was about to pick me up, not once did you ask my condition to the children. I feel like you don't love me anymore, Mom."
Lena sobbed in front of the navel where her beloved husband was resting. "Are you angry that Kang Arman hit you just before the fire broke out? If so, I'd like to apologize on his behalf. I know, he was very cruel but .. the man received his reward. He was charred in flames when the fire broke out along with all the wealth taken from you."
The woman raised her head up, holding the crystal grains back from falling apart. One piece of cloth covered his hair and the part of his face that was hit by the tender target of the Red Jago. The sunlight hit the woman's right.
"Mas ... My life has been empty since you left. There is no hope for me to survive anymore. If only there was no Raihan, I would like to follow you to the Lord's side. However, if I leave right now then what about the fate of our child? She must be sad to be left behind by both of us." Lena glanced at the son who was crouching next to her. "Therefore, I tried to survive for the sake of our son. Although it feels hard to let go of you, but I try to be sincere."
"I hope you will wait for me until the time comes for us to meet again in eternal life. You and I are back together like we used to."
Tears flowed back into the corners of her eyes. The woman's heart was relieved after pouring out her heart in front of the Phirdaus navel. He vented all the feelings that stuck in his heart as if the man was still alive in this world.
The woman's hand was stretched forward. He removed the remaining crystal grains using the ends of the clothes worn. Smiled sweetly at the red earth mound before him. "Mas, wait for me there. One day, we'll meet again."
