For the first time Rosita came to her in-laws' house and that time was now. When he came to deliver the body of the husband to his parents' house. Rosita sat weak but her heart was satisfied because as long as Leman was sick, she was always by her husband's side. To avoid unexpected events, Rosita was accompanied by her family to the next district.
When Leman's body was crucified in a mosque, Rosita chose to sit quietly in the car. “Mother,” Excite Arief.
Youngest son Leman is very close to him, “Why come here? Your mommy will be angry.” Arief doesn't care. The little boy was still struggling spoiled in Rosita's body like before.
“Arief, not here later Mamak angry.” The grandmother said and took Arief out of the car.
“You must be strong, Ta. We will all definitely feel the one whose name died.” Said one of the relatives who accompanied Rosita.
“No, Aunty. I'm not sad that Bang Leman died. I'm just sad because at the end of his life he felt like he failed to be a father. Even his son was very willing to report himself to the police. Behind it all, I am happy because I have done my job well. I'm happy to take care of him until the end.”
The funeral was held on the same day. And as night approached, Rosita and her family immediately returned to their residence in the next district. “Nak, just bring the car.” Said Leman's mother.
“Iya, just take the car home. That car Leman bought with Mamak and Dad's money. So just bring the car.” War's mother handed over the car keys used by Leman while visiting Rosita's house.
Rosita's family nodded in agreement as it was already night and it was difficult to find public transport.
After Rosita's return, Leman's parents' house was deserted because the neighbors had returned to their homes. Only the brother and sister of Leman chose to stay there. Arief himself chose to sleep at his grandmother's house with cousins who were his age.
While at the house of Iklima, the woman was quietly crying inside her room. I don't know what's in her heart after seeing her husband's face one last time. Iklima cried in silence while his dream last night really made him return to the past.
Last night, Jelita came and smiled as if she was mocking him and his ex-friend turned around and left without saying a word.
“Mak, let's eat first!” Agus stood at the door of his mother's room. The night was getting late and his mother had not eaten a single meal.
“Mak, come!”
“Go, Gus! Mamak is not hungry.”
“But-“
“Go, Gus! Mamak doesn't want to hear anything.”
Agus sighed and walked straight to his room. But his steps stopped when he passed his sister. “Why did you see Brother so?” ask Agus curiously.
“Why ask me? Ask yourself if you are worthy of being a child or not.” Reply Ayu.
“What do you mean?”
“I just found out that Brother reported Dad to the police. Wh why? You want me to go to jail? Very kind to make me amazed. Just this time I knew there was a biological child who wanted to put his father in jail just because his father remarried.”
“Shut up! You are still small and do not know anything.”
“Oh yes? Then if you're an adult like brother, is that it? So the pretentious guy over Dad and Mamak's relationship and went to the police to report Dad. Then the so-called adult is better I never mature.”
“Now you are satisfied? A father is nobler to be called by God than to be wronged by his son in prison. Remember, Bang! You've been a disobedient child for disappointing Dad for the rest of his life. Are you sure you will live happily after this? Karma apply!” ayu said as if a knife hit her heart. Far from the bottom of his heart, Agus felt regret for reporting the father but his hatred towards the father's second marriage had left his eyes and heart dark.
He had seen for himself how the woman who became his father's second wife was close yesterday. His father's family was more concerned about the woman than his mother. Iklima himself does not care about Rosita's whereabouts because Leman's relatives take care of her very much. After delivering the body of the husband, Rosita never again visited his in-laws' house in the next district. Leman's car brought by Rosita has also been taken back by the brother of Leman.
“Walaikumsalam, Mak.”
“You're healthy, Son?”
“Alhamdulillah, Mother. Mama the same Father how?”
“We're healthy too, son. Um, Mom called because it asked if Leman owed you anything? Iklima demanded Leman's estate so we had to share Leman's inheritance with him and the children. Therefore Mamak called because before dividing Leman's inheritance we had to pay off his debt first.”
“Bang Leman borrowed 7 million, Mak. At that time the car needed repairs so Bang Leman asked for a loan with Iros.” Answer Rosita honestly.
“Alright then. Em, Ros. Mamak apologized for not being able to prevent Iklima. He took over all of Leman's possessions and handed them over to his children. Mamak and I cannot give you the right to be the wife of Leman. Forgive us!”
“Rosita married Bang Leman not for that, Mak. Iros understood and Mamak did not need to feel guilty. Just let all of Bang Leman's legacy fall to his children. After all, that is also their right.”
“But as a wife in religious view, you also deserve it.”
“Mak, Iros it's okay. Iros granted Iros rights to Bang Leman's children. Let Bang Leman rest in his grave, Mother. Do not let because of the treasure that does not make Bang Leman dizab in his grave.”
“Thank you for being the wife that Leman loves so much. Mom and Dad are happy because for the rest of his life, Leman spent it with you. Again, thank you.”
“Sama-sama, Mother. Greetings to Fathers and brothers.”
“Iya. Mama closed first! Assalamualaikum.”
“Walaikumsalam!”
Tuttts…
Rosita sighed then smiled looking at Leman's photo. He was relieved and happy because his short marriage with Leman made him stronger and more patient. After Leman's death, Rosita had to face the staff office due to reports from Iklima but unfortunately there was no evidence until the case was closed. The police case was also closed because Leman was dead.
Iklima lived his life with children as usual although it is undeniable that his heart felt different and he became a cold and quiet figure. While Rosita returned to being a cheerful woman with a myriad of activities with her friends while continuing to look for a companion who might still be arranged by God for her.
