I'm Your Widow Duda
YOU'RE NOT ANGRY?

"You never told us or just told us, Robert!" Mami Indri revealed that her face showed a look of disappointment, after Robert told a long story about Sheila's pregnancy and the accident that befell his wife to take the life of Sheila and Robert's future child.

"Robert thinks Mami and Papi still hate Sheila. Even Robert had thought that the one who hit Sheila was a papi man," said Robert Lirih.

"What?" Papi Guntur and Mami Indri were instantly shocked.

"But you don't agree to marry Sheila! But papi can't be that cruel and kill papi's future grandchildren!" Sergeah Papi Guntur felt unacceptable.

"Sorry!"

"Robert should have listened to Sheila at that time" Robert muttered regretfully.

Mami Indri got up from her seat, then approached the son who was still bowed.

"Mommy's sorry about Sheila's passing, Robert!" Said Mami Indri while hugging the son.

"Does mom still hate Sheila?" Ask Robert lirih

Mami Indri.

"Sheila is also Mami's daughter-in-law, Robert!"

"Mami doesn't hate it" Mami Indri said in earnest, which immediately made Robert sigh in relief.

"Sheila's."

Sita had just unfurled a blanket to cover Robert, when suddenly Robert again muttered the name of his late wife.

"Sheila!" Robert muttered once more.

"Then what if Robert still muttered Sheila's name while she was sleeping?"

"Wake him up and don't get mad!"

"Take him speak slowly and from heart to heart. Ask her what upsets her feelings and tell her she can tell you anything about Sheila or her life. You should be a good listener and not be a little prejudiced!"

Sita sighed for a moment, then rested beside Robert who was asleep on the sofa in the care room Angga. Sita woke her husband up slowly.

"Robert!" Sita gently shook Robert's shoulder and the man was immediately startled then opened his two wet eyes.

Robert stared fixedly at Sita's face that looked blurry, then the man hurriedly wiped his tears.

"Did I mention Sheila's name again?" Asked Robert stared regretfully at Sita who immediately nodded.

"Sorry," muttered Robert who instantly made Sita take a deep breath. Sita got up from the floor, then sat down on the sofa, next to Robert who was now also sitting.

"Come here!" Sita guides Robert to lay his head on Sita's lap

"You're dreaming about Sheila again?" Sita asked without the slightest hint of anger or jealousy.

"Only glimpses. I saw Sheila who was smiling towards me while waving her hand. So I called her and I really didn't know that I was actually calling her name in my sleep." It was clearly Robert whose manner of speaking was still filled with guilt.

"Does Sheila still look sad?" Ask Sita again while gently rubbing Robert's face.

"No." Robert replied, closing his eyes for a moment.

"Sheila was not as sad as before and she was already smiling."

"Is it possible because I've talked to Mami and Mami and she doesn't hate Sheila anymore?" Robert instead looked questioningly at Sita.

"It could be," replied Sita who had changed cupped Robert's face.

"And you're probably just missing Sheila. So if we're in this town, how about tomorrow we visit Sheila's grave so that your heart and feelings are a little relieved?" Sita's proposal that immediately made Robert look in disbelief at Sita who was not angry at all as before.

"You're not angry or offended because I remember Sheila?" Robert was confused.

Sita smiled thinly.

"And I'm pretty sure that you're old enough to be able to tell which is your past and which is your future" said Tukas Sita, who still cupped Robert's face.

"You and Angga are my future. But Sheila will still occupy one corner of my heart, the deepest" said Robert who immediately made Sita nod.

"I know."

"You accompany me to Sheila's grave tomorrow, yes!" Pinta Robert while holding Sita and repeatedly pecked the top of his wife's head.

"Yes!"

Sita sprinkled flower petals over Sheila's tomb while tidying it up slightly, while Robert rubbed Sheila's tombstone.

"Hi, Shei!"

"You're happy there with our son?"

"And my son is with Sita," Robert clasped Sita's shoulder which only commented a thin smile.

"I'm sure you're keeping him there, too" said Robert again who instead made Sita become teary.

"I've started a new life with Sita and Angga. Confiscate a good woman just like you, Sheila!" Robert again rubbed Sheila's tombstone.

"You will remain in the deepest corner of my heart."

"And I will also love Sita as much as I loved you before." Robert was determined before the man invited Sita to stand up. Sita rubbed Sheila's tombstone for a while, then placed a white rose before leaving the tomb.

"We're home early tomorrow morning. Papi and Mami have been very heavy on Angga and keep asking when we go home" said Robert who still tightly embraced Sita.

"You told Mami and Papi about Angga's hand?" Tanya Sita was worried.

"Yet. Tomorrow let Angga tell him his own story" Robert chuckled with the man's cell phone ringing from his pocket.

"I picked up the phone for a while," Robert's permission to Sita who just nodded.

Robert spoke for a while on the phone, then shut it down quickly.

"Someone is interested in his house and wants to take a look around."

"Are you coming or want me to take you home?" Robert gave Sita a choice.

"Pull how? You sold your house?" Sita stared in disbelief at Robert.

"Don't I have to focus on my future now?"

"Too many memories of me with Sheila in that house and I can no longer live there with you, Angga, and our children later" Robert said, cupping Sita's face.

"In addition, there is already the house of the Father and Mother who will be our stopover later when we return here" added Robert again.

Sita simply nodded and chose to respect Robert's decision.

"Can I meet the prospective buyer of the house?" Sita asked at last which immediately made Robert review a smile.

"Of course!" Robert re-embraced Sita and the couple stepped together to leave the cemetery.
