It's not my fault that your husband is loved
Proposal
Two cars stopped in front of Rosita's house. Rosita's parents were already standing in front welcoming their arrival. The Leman family came to bring many of their district's signature pieces. Rosita sling's parents shook hands and invited them in. Rosita serves drinks and cakes that she has prepared to welcome the Leman family. Speaking for a moment, Leman's father started talking and started something serious.
“Bapak and Ibuk certainly already know if our arrival here brings other intentions besides bercilaturrahmi. I as the father of Leman, came here to propose to the daughter of Father and Mother named Rosita. Father and Mother must have also known if our son named Leman already had a wife. There is a specific reason why we support our son to remarry even if he has to marry religiously. But it is better than adultery even our religion also allows a man to marry more than one let alone our child is able to be born and inner. They are not young anymore, so we as a family cannot forbid his wishes. So, how are Father and Mother? Is our son's application accepted?”
Father and Mother Rosita glanced at each other and then Mr. Rosita looked at Mr. Leman who was sitting not far from him, “Bapak and I must have known about the status of our son named Rosita. We as parents leave all the decisions to Rosita because she is going to undergo this marriage. She was no longer young so naturally knew the risks of marrying someone's husband. So all the decisions are in Rosita's hands. We can only pray that their marriage lasts until the end.”
Leman looked at Rosita sitting with her mother. While Arif looks happy to sit in his father's lap while eating the cake that Rosita serves.
“How Ta? Did you accept Leman's proposal?” ask Rosita.
All the Leman family looked at him, Rosita just glanced at his mother and father.he nodded small then said, “Yes, I received Bang Leman.” A bright smile rose on the faces of Leman and his family. That same day, Wardiah's mother placed a ring in the hand of her future daughter-in-law. After the application was over, Ms. Rosita invited the Leman family to taste the lunch they had prepared. Rosita invites Arif, Leman's youngest child to take the rice. The boy complied and followed Rosita obediently.
Leman's family who saw Rosita's interaction with Arif was also happy because it turns out that Leman's wife-to-be easily took Arif's heart. On the sidelines of lunch, then Leman's parents tell about Leman's wife to make them ask Leman to marry again. Rosita who understands the talk of the Leman family immediately invites Arif to sit on the front porch while looking at the birds belonging to Mr. Rosita. However bad Iklima's temper was, Rosita did not want Arif to hear it.
Leman came with two glasses of cold orange water. He smiled happily looking at Rosita and Arif. “Sini, Yah!” call Arif excitedly.
“We can take this bird home, Dad?” ask Arif to his father.
“Ask the Mother!” point at Arif with his chin.
Arif immediately turned to Rosita, “Mother, the bird for Arif can?” ask the child expectantly.
“This bloomer has a grandfather, if Mother loves Arif later Grandpa has no friends again how?”
“Let's play here often so you can play with bird.” Sahut Leman makes Arif who was disappointed now back sparkling.
“Thank you yes!” leman whispered half a whisper behind his son.
Rosita looked at Leman with a frown, “Because it has received me.” Leman said back. Rosita just nodded slowly.
“So, when?” ask Leman again.
“Serah Abang only!”
“How much dowry?”
Degs…
They discussed while whispering behind Arif. From inside the house, the Leman family smiled at the friendly interaction of the two out there.
“Look at that, Buk, Sir. We haven't seen Leman smile like that in a long time. Every day there was only commotion, screams and the sound of broken things. Leman had slept with his son for a long time. I feel very sorry for him but as our parents can not do much.”
“Why not get divorced?” mother Rosita asked at last to make a sound.
“Leman loves his kids. She does not want her children to grieve if they find out that their parents are divorced.” The mother looked back at her son's face from the window.
“That you haven't answered.”
“Mahar.” Connect Leman.
“Abang provide only according to Abang.”
“30 grams of gold, want?” Rosita nodded immediately.
After lunch, the Leman family immediately asked for permission to leave. For the marriage contract both will be done without the presence of family because Leman's parents said if their presence is feared to create suspicion from Leman's first wife.
While in the district next door, Iklima was pacing back and forth restlessly let alone he had contacted Leman but her husband's cellphone was dead. And what makes him even more suspicious and anxious is that the phones of Leman's brothers are also not answered. Finally, Iklima snatched the car keys and drove his car to the residence of Leman's brother named Ismail. She wanted to check for herself whether her son and husband were there or not.
With much frustration in his heart, Iklima reached Ishmael's house and unfortunately it was empty.
“Who to find, Brother?” ask a young woman.
Klima immediately changed her disheveled face to be cheerful, “Search Bang Ismail, Sister. But from earlier I love greetings even no one answered.”
“Oh, Bang Ismil was away with his son and wife. They carry stuff too. I think I want a picnic.”
“Picnic?” tanya Iklima was curious.
“Iya, I just saw them bring duck and bushel balloons as well.” The suspicion of Iklima began to subside. He smiled and drove his car back home.
Arriving at home, Leman and Arif are already home taking a bath. Iklima who saw Leman's car directly into the house and saw her husband who was bathing Arif. “Where are you guys from?” tanya Iklima ketus but ignored Leman.
“Bang, I asked where are you from?”
“We finished bathing in the river, Mak. Adek wants to go again later. River bath turned out to be delicious.” Arif answered innocently.
“You to the river? Same who?” Which river?” Iklima's picking up his youngest.
“What is the name of the river, Yah?” Arif asked the father who was taking his clothes in the closet.
“Batee River.” Leman stared at Iklima.
“Who's gone, Dek?” Iklima looked at his son and glanced at Leman who was about to leave his son's room.
Iklima approached and helped put on his youngest child's clothes. “Who goes to the river, Dek?”
