Chapter 44

Without feeling the time is rolling quickly. The construction of the madrasah and several houses of the citizens assisted by Rinjani on behalf of the Gods were all completed. His heart now felt calm and happy as well. Tears of happiness drenched her beautiful eyes. What her husband dreamed and expected she could realize.

"Mas, may Allah accept all your good deeds and worship. I hope in the hereafter we will be reunited" Rinjani said as she approached her husband's grave. 

Although it has been 1 year since the death of God, Rinjani still always shed her tears when remembering this man. Likewise when he came to his grave, surely his tears would not stop coming out.

"Maybe in the future I won't come to visit you often, Mas. Because me and the kids are gonna live in the city with Grandpa. Although this heavy heart leaves the village full of our fond memories, I don't want to be selfish, while the children want to live together with their great-grandfather." Rinjani held back her crying voice while holding a navel named after her loved ones.

Bagaskara every week always visited Rinjani's house in order to play together with the three children. Of course, he can also meet the heart. Although the two of them never got into serious talks, since the man was rejected for the umpteenth time by Rinjani.

A few months ago, Bagaskara once expressed his heart again and wanted Rinjani to be his life companion. However, the woman was still unable to accept the other man in her heart.

"Assalamualaikum, Attar." Bagaskara greeted the boy who was playing on the porch of the house with friends his age.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Om Bagas." The boy ran as he spread out his hands as usual. 

"How's the hotshot, Om Bagas?" ask Bagaskara while holding Attar.

"Alhamdulillah, fine," replied Attar as he hugged the neck and kissed the cheek of the adult male.

"Om Bagas," call Aqilah who just came out of the house.

Girls who have now entered adolescence grow more beautiful like Rinjani. He also greeted the man he now considered father by the youngest.

"Sister, how was the test yesterday?" bagaskara asked as she sat on the chair after giving some parcel bags to them.

"Alhamdulillah, all is well, Om. Hopefully later it can be champion one again," replied Aqilah.

"Where to go? Tumben is invisible," asked Bagaskara as he spread his gaze looking for a boy with a face similar to a mini version of God.

"Abang was going to the river with his friends earlier," replied Aqilah while presenting drinking water and some snack jars.

"Then, your mother? Kok, invisible," asked the man in casual clothes. Rinjani always comes to greet him if he visits.

"Mother and Grandpa are visiting Mr. RT's house" Aqilah replied with a sweet smile.

Rinjani House which has also been renovated will be occupied by a widow and her child. They will take care of this house as long as Rinjani stays in the capital. After all, he did not want the house he had built with great difficulty with the Gods, to be abandoned. He better pay someone who is trustworthy and really needs a place to stay. 

Incidentally there is a widow who contracted in the contract of Pak Haji Umar, willing to take care of this house. Even Rinjani gave him a wage, of course making the woman happy. In addition to living in a nicer and cleaner house for free, he will also get income every month.

"Mbak Nurul I ask you to take care of our house, yes! Maybe I can't come here every month. Keep the trust that I entrust to you, Ma'am," said Rinjani.

"God's Insha, Mrs Rinjani. I'll take care of this house and take good care of it. Thank you for giving me confidence. I don't know what else to say. Yesterday was desperate because he did not have the money to pay the contract. Workers at the factory know just enough to eat everyday and buy electric tokens" Mbak Nurul replied in tears.

"Alhamdulillah, I am happy to be able to help Mbak Nurul even if only a little," said Rinjani with a thin smile.

"For me and my two children, this is a very big and meaningful help, Mrs Rinjani. I was going to go home to my parents' house, because the family-in-law did not expect our presence" I said Nurul sobbing.

"Maybe this has become the fate of the family, Mbak Nurul. Are you ready to move into my house?" ask Rinjani.

"Already, Mom. Our goods are only this way," replied Mbak Nurul while showing some dus and two large bags.

"Let Mang Jalil bring the goods to my house" said Rinjani and he led Grandpa Atmaja.

The old man was now more and more excited about his days. He also looks healthy and fresh, and rather fat. Rinjani always cooks her favorite food every day.

Actually, he would rather stay here now. However, he also wants Rinjani to take care of his company.

"Grandpa wishes we were here every month" Grandpa Atmaja said as they walked home.

The old man is now widely known by residents there, so often greeted when meeting anywhere. Getting treated like that makes him happy.

As they all walk accidentally met with Mpok Atun. The woman still harbors a dislike for Rinjani. Even now it is becoming more and more so because the villagers are increasingly confusing the widow of flowers. 

"Assalamualaikum, Mpok Atun," Rinjani greeted him as he passed by.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," he replied with a ketus as it passed.

Grandpa Atmaja who already knew the problems that had occurred between his grandson and the woman just laughed chuckling. According to him, Mpok Atun was only envious of Rinjani because it was loved by many people, while he whose work was encouraging made people stay away from him for fear of being reciprocated by others.

When they got home it was seen that Bagaskara was playing with Attar. The youngest son of the couple Dewa and Rinjani was seen laughing happily.

"Look. Your children can laugh happily like that when together with Bagaskara. Do you still want to close the door of your heart for her?" ask Grandpa Atmaja.

Will Rinjani try to open her heart to Bagaskara for the sake of her children? Wait for it to go, yeah!

Waiting for the next chapter. Yuk, read my work too. Nice and exciting story, you know! Especially when you are finished, you can read marathon.

      Yusuf, a widower with one child who had just been left by Aisha–his wife who died in an accident. She had to raise her daughter Asiah– on her own because her mother had to take care of her father who had a stroke. Yusuf and Asiah live in an apartment owned by a company specifically given by Sarah, the CEO and daughter of the owner of the company where she works as Finance Director. Yusuf also neighbors Zulaikha, a high school student who lacks parental affection and likes to tease himself, but is very affectionate to Asiah. Zulaikha also always openly said love and affection to Joseph. However, Joseph always considered it the wind.

     Asiah is always entrusted in a child care institution that doubles with early childhood education institutions. There they meet Bilqis, an apprentice student who is reminiscent of Aisha. Making Joseph began to be adrift in his heart because of his goodness and tenderness. However, his love was met with opposition from the Bilqis family because of his status of one-child widower.

How does Joseph's story of raising Asiah who was active and often made him die of fleas?

Who has the love of Joseph?

Sarah's a graceful and intelligent virgin? Zulaikha the virgin son of teaser and ignorant? Or Bilqis the filthy and patient virgin?
