Marrying the Widow
Meet Romi


This morning as usual Cherries prepare Regan's school supplies and food to be brought for provisions. Regan who has been accustomed to waking up alone since a month Cherry stay in the hospital makes Cherry activities lighter. Regan who has wanted to enter the age of 6 years getting smarter and began to be able to wear his own clothes.


"Is this right?" he asked as the tiny hand buttoned the school shirt.


Cherry examines her son's shirt buttons and then smiles proudly. "Already, clever son mama. Uh what did Regan say?"


"Say what Mah?"


"Try on Regan's name!"


"Regan."


"Waaahhhh Alhamdulillah son of mama can already say R," said Cherry with sparkling eyes.


"Yes, Regan can do it. Yeeee..." Regan was jumping on the bed.


"Honey, stop the shabby donk uniform later." Cherry catches Regan's body asking him to shut up.


"Tomorrow Sunday Regan wants to buy ice cream with Om Tio mah, because Regan can already talk R."


Cherry scrunched her forehead, "is there a promise with Om Tio?"


"Yes mah, said om Tio if Regan does not cry anymore can continue to say R will be invited to eat ice cream with Om Tio."


Cherry fell silent, she saw the son who was so happy. Until his heart trembled, first with Reno he was not this happy. But just met with Tio a few days Regan so happy and looks comfortable.


After driving Regan to school, Cherry stopped by the supermarket to buy food for the 7-day event later tonight. With a large stomach he walked alone pushing the trolley.


The age of the content of Cherries has now entered into the 8th month. He missed his 7 monthly moments when he had to go back and forth to the hospital to take care of the sick Papah.


Walking down the hospital hall until his steps stopped when accidentally his trolley hit with a trolley in front of him that goes in opposite directions.


"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."


"Oh yes it's okay, slow down the road whatever else is pregnant big. Her stomach didn't hit the trolley handle, did it?"


Cherries look at the person after successfully confirming the trolley. It is a little difficult because of the large amount of food.


"Oh this is okay_ Romi!"


The man was astonished to see who the hijab-wearing woman with a big belly in a pink dress and a matching hijab.


"Gold! I haven't seen you in a long time, God is so happy with me. Who are you the same?"


"I'm alone, aren't you living in America? or just here to play?"


"At first play, but after seeing you either I'll come back or not. I am so sorry for the passing of Reno and Om Bima, I just arrived this morning. The intention is later I will go to your house but instead meet here." Romi was so happy to meet Cherry.


Romi, Reno and Ceri used to be best friends. Romi leaves for America after Reno and Ceri get married. She loves Cherries but Cherries already love Reno. After finding out that Cherry is pregnant with Reno's child, she decides to continue school in America following her Om who happens to have a business there.


"Who do you shop with?"


"It's the same mom...." Romi pointed to his mother who was choosing fish.


"I'll say hello to Auntie first." Cherries stepped closer to Mamah Romi who was picking fish. He smiled, Romi was already Cherry considered like his own mama. They often shop together and often cook together when Reno and himself are gathered at Romi's house.


"Assalamualaikum Aunt..."


Mamah Romi straightened his body and turned towards Cherry. Shut up and think. It may be a reminder because since she married they've never met again.


"It's Cherry mah."


"God?" ask Mamah Romi to make sure.


"Yes Aunt Tina, this is Cherry." Mamah Romi immediately hugged the Cherry, he so missed the Cherry who was like his own daughter.


"Have not seen my son for a long time, how are you?"


"Alhamdulillah healthy Aunt, how's Aunt?"


"Some healthy auntie, how can you meet? isn't Romi just going to your house later this afternoon? Have you guys made a deal to meet here?"


"I accidentally hit the Trolley Romi Aunty" replied Ceri.


Mamah Romi looked at Cherry with a difficult look at the art and then rubbed the arm of Cherry gently. "Please son, sorry Aunt didn't come to your house when Papah you died and your husband..."


"Nothing Auntie," Cherry again felt the warmth of Aunt Tina.


"Have entered 8 months Auntie, pray well yes." said Ceri.


"Definitely dear."


After having a chance to talk while shopping, Cherries pay to pick up Regan at school. Romi had helped Ceri bring groceries to the car and promised to come tonight to attend the study at her home.


"Tante, Cherry saying yes. Later the evening of the 7-day event of the late Papah. If you're not busy, you can visit Auntie's house."


"Yes son, later if there is no obstacle Aunt comes to your house. Romi seems to be going there."


"Yes, I want to see Regan. Want to meet my future son," ledek Romi.


"What sich Rom." Cherry said that she was not good, she knew that Romi also loved her but she thought for now Romi must have had another heart patch.


Mamah Romi smiled, "your efforts are hard now, you're not only conquering the Cherries but also his son."


"Just pray, ma'am." Romi looked at Ceri with a difficult look.


"Yes I've taken Cherries to the car first mah, all of you take the car in the parking lot. Wait here, yeah!"


"Yes baby..."


"Mari Aunty," said Cherry politely.


"Yes, be careful."


They walked towards the parking lot along with Romi who brought her groceries.


"Why do you still drive yourself?"


"It can still be, why bother people."


"Ck, your stomach is big, not like the baby. There's a driver at home and what's the job?"


"Udah is like the father of your household, bring him nothing to say." Ledek Cherry by shaking her head. "I like to drive myself, I've always been independent."


"I regretted leaving you at that time, I know Reno's treatment was far from good. But I can't leave my lecture there just to snatch you from him." While in America he still watches over Cherries and Reno from afar. He knows exactly if Reno does not love Cherries, but because the issue of matchmaking both make Cherries that already have a heart with Reno so hopeful and blinded love.


The smiling Cherry turned a glance towards Romi then looked back towards the front with a bitter look. "I'm sincere, Reno has also earned his reward. Thank you, you are like before, my best friend. Yeah, I've been home a long time, huh, Kasian Regan waited a long time."


"Hhmm. I'll be at your house tonight." Romi opens the door for Cherries.


"Yes," Cherry drove her car to Regan's school today. I hope it's not exhausted.


Arriving at the house Cherry saw a car that was no stranger to him. Regan went down after being helped by Cherries.


"Go get changed, kid!" exclaimed the Cherry who saw Regan had already run in.


"God...."


"Hey baby, just got home. Where's mom?"


"Yet again nurunin Oma's groceries."


"Well, Regan came in and rested." Arsita, mamah Tio immediately stepped out of the house to approach Ceri who was busy lowering her groceries.


"Ceri why not invite Aunt shopping so much like this son?"


"Ceri is afraid of inconveniencing Auntie," he replied.


"No donk, my aunt at home does not say anything. That's why I came here this morning. Uh said your aunt brought Regan back. That's why Auntie wait."


"Next time the Cherry said Auntie."


"Let's help Auntie." The two brought Cherry groceries inside. Prepare for small meals and cook for lunch.


"When did you give birth to my son?"


"According to Hpl early next month Auntie," replied Cherry.


"Later if it is closer more often contact Aunt and Tio. We'll accompany you at birth."


"But Aunt..."


"Son, Tio's your future husband. After you're born, you'll get married."
