Marriage to the Enemy
The Part 20

"Rick .. has it been a long time?" hello aunty Soraya once saw Ricky in the living room.

"No, Tan. Oh, aye! Tan, know this Mama and Papa Ricky," said Ricky while introducing aunt Soraya to both parents.

"Oh, sir, Mom. Introduce me Soraya, Ricky's sister-in-law," Soraya said as she reached out to greet her guests.

"Mira, Miranti to be more exact."

"Prudent."

"Auntie thinks Mr. Bimo is your father, Rick. Dad keep it up. Sorry for the wrong idea."

"No, Tan. Om Bimo is Mama's sister. He's been taking care of Ricky" Ricky clarified.

"Eh, I forgot to sit down. Sit down, Mum! Sorry, the house is just like this. Far from fancy words like the residence of the Father and Mother," Soraya said with a fluffy smile.

Soraya looked calm facing her two guests, none showing any hesitation. No awkwardness or hesitation. Impressed as friendly as meeting besan in general.

"Mbok, Mbok Well!" call Soraya a little scream.

"Yes, Ndoro Putri," sahut mbok Nah, walked up to his master. The employer has been in service for decades.

Mbok Nah gasped to see who was his guest. However, seeing the master looked calm he also put on a flat face as before.

"Please make a drink yes, and prepare dinner for our guests" Soraya ordered in a gentle tone as usual.

"Well, Ndoro ...."

"Drink, Mbok. We had dinner last night" Ricky cut up and was taken in by Nah.

Anyone would feel at home living with the meek and affectionate but firm Soraya. His sins are very famous. At the complex, everyone knows what Mami Sora costs.

"It just so happens that Mom and Dad came here. We need to talk about our children. Even though they are adults by law, their attitudes are still unstable."

"Why do I say labile? Yes, because they still use emotions to solve problems in their household. As parents we should guide them so that their households can be saved. Isn't that Mr Kurniawan?" soraya said plainly calmly.

"What's the real problem, Jeng?" ask mama Mira.

"If in my opinion, we call Rena first. Let us both know, the reason the two decided to separate ...."

"Ricky never wanted a farewell, Tan. Ricky only wants a once in a lifetime wedding. But it seems like Aunt's niece won't try to keep this marriage going" Ricky cut quickly once the opportunity arose.

Shortly afterwards, Nah came with a tray of drinks and snacks as a chat friend.

"Thank you, Mbok. Oh, aye. Ask for help again can? It could be dong, yeah!" soraya was full of jokes.

"It could be dong, Ndoro. Whatever makes Ndoro the most kind princess," replied Nah sumringah mbok.

"Call Rena, Mbok. Tell her in-laws to come," asked Soraya still with her smile.

"Haha ... Mbok, there is no Gun mas here. Mbok anyway aja dikerjain mas Gun," said Soraya with a laughing break.

There are feelings that are difficult to express by Mr. Kurniawan at this time. He could only see all of that with a forced smile. Mr. Kurniawan knows Soraya's joy only covers his broken heart.

Rena came by a lazy path joining in the living room. Renata is stunned to see the face of his guest, but he can master himself and return to his original mode. Continue to walk towards the living room.

Rena sat down near her aunt Soraya, after kissing the back of her two in-laws' hands alternately. Rena Cuek alone got an unfriendly look from her in-laws.

They discussed the divorce lawsuit filed by Rena in the office of the Religious Court. No one was to blame in the conversation between the two families. There is only advice for the labile couple.

"It is better to mediate independently than mediate in court. We can bring out what is odd freely. In addition, our disgrace is not to be a public meal. Shame on!" said Aunt Soraya quietly but quite firmly.

"If we have a problem it's spoken of carefully. Don't dodge! Don't escape! If you can't stand it anymore, stir up your problems to God. He gave you the test, He gave you the way out."

"Marriage is like school. If you want to go to class, you have to pass the exam. There are times when we can easily go through the test, there are times when we are also difficult to do the test." Aunty Soraya's advice flows like a stream of water from upstream to the estuary.

Rena and Ricky nodded without making a sound. Both of them were embarrassed to hear the words of the woman who was just left by her husband.

"That's exactly what your aunt said. Building a household is not easy, there are many tests in it. To accept the advantages, to accept the shortcomings."

"If we receive his attention and patience, we must also be willing to pay attention to him. We also have to be patient with his anger, while the anger is due to an unintentional mistake. Just like Ricky did."

"Didn't he remind you to stay away before the incident? The violent incident took place outside of his consciousness. Why look for the wrong thing, if both do wrong? You should apologize to each other, not the exalted ego!" Once speaking, the words of Mama Mira immediately hit in Renata's heart.

Mama Mira who is actually very patient and easy to pity, already felt a deep regret over the behavior of the son-in-law. However, he suppressed his frustration and anger for the sake of the child who seemed to adore his wife greatly.

"Now all decisions go back to the two of you!" said Mr. Kurniawan.

"Ricky still has a promise to Papa Gun, to always look after and guide Renata, Pa. Ricky will keep that promise. So, Ricky won't divorce Renata" Ricky said confidently.

Mr. Kurniawan immediately patted the child's shoulder. Feeling proud of the maturity of the child who always contradicts him.

"As the time was night, we resigned. Thank you for the kind welcome Mr. Soraya to us," said Mr. Kurniawan.

"I'm sorry if we trouble Ms. Soraya" Mira said.

"Nothing is bothered here. We have become a family. Every problem is better discussed together, let us calmly step forward" Soraya replied with a smile that never faded from her face.

Ricky came home to his parents. He wanted to give Renata time to think. He will be dropped or proceed to trial. Ricky handed the decision to Renata.

Ricko wakes up feeling thirsty, he goes to the kitchen to get a drink. However, he heard a voice in the living room and he rushed to the room.

"Repo-papi ... Mommy's Papi, right?" ricko asked from behind the back of Mami Sora.

Although she had been left five years by her husband, Soraya never taught her son to hate his father. Soraya has always taught to respect the elderly and the elderly.
