Marrying the Widow of the Neighbor
The Light on Aditya's Face

For the umpteenth time, Rania walked out of the room, stepped into the living room, then peered out of the house through the glass window beside the door. It's been ten in the night, but Aditya and the Princess haven't returned yet either. Rania who had been preparing to welcome the return of her husband, repeatedly pissed because until now her husband had not returned.

"Why you?"

Rania surged in shock, not expecting that her mother-in-law was already standing behind her while staring in confusion.

"It's ten o'clock, Mas Adit hasn't come home yet. Where the hell are they?!"

Bu Sukma twirled his eyeballs, feeling amused himself to see the attitude of the son-in-law who suddenly snobs attention. Almost three weeks Aditya was in the village yesterday, not even though his son-in-law contacted his son to show attention. But tonight, he suddenly changed.

"Mas Adit's phone is also inactive... Ishhhh!! What don't-don't...."

Rania deliberately hangs her sentence, to make Sukma's mother curious.

"Don't-don't what?!"

Rania succeeds, but Sukma immediately questioned the continuation of his sentence.

"Don't Adit begal? Let's not say the princess has been working with the thugs, then...."

"Then you are far away!! Huh!! Sleep there!! They're not coming home tonight!!"

Rania glared in shock, the plan to make her in-laws think badly of the Princess, failing miserably. In fact, the in-laws had already given him another surprise.

"Why don't they go home?! Where are they going?!"

Rania quickly chased after Sukma, who had stepped into her room, and she wanted to know where her husband and young wife had gone before she went into the room. Bu Sukma turned around and looked at Rania.

"Honey moon, go!! They are newlyweds! It's natural they go on their honeymoon!! It's you!! Heh!! It's disgusting!!"

Bu Sukma quickly entered the room, closed the door, then locked it from the inside, afraid to let Rania down because of her words earlier.

But what happened was just the opposite. Rania was just silent, glued to the door of the room occupied by Bu Sukma. The pain slipped into his chest, imagining what the husband was doing with his young wife at this time.

"Your work, Mas." Rania grumbled quietly without expression. His steps turned towards his own room.

Bu Sukma smiled broadly to welcome the return of his son and daughter-in-law. The radiance of the light on Aditya's smiling face went loose, making him laugh a little because he was happy. Aditya's face looks very clean and glowing.

"Mom."

Aditya greeted the mother, then grabbed her hand and slightly bent down to kiss the hand with reverence. The princess also did the same after Aditya straightened up and dropped her body weight on the sofa, right next to the mother.

The princess then said goodbye to immediately enter the room, but Sukma turned her head and looked at Aditya's face from the side. The smile on his son's face is proof that all night the newlyweds are doing happy things.

"Where? Steady, right?"

Aditya jumped in shock, quickly turned his head and looked at the mother. Both eyebrows mama Sukma moved down and up to smart the son. Aditya laughs at the expression of Bu Sukma who thinks it is funny.

Satisfied with laughing out loud, Aditya glued his body spoiled to the mother.

"Thank you, Mom."

Bu Sukma frowned, confused at the thanks his son said.

"Thank you for what?" Ask Bu Sukma.

"To choose the right partner" Aditya replied. Bu Sukma smiled at jumawa.

"Feeling a Mother is never wrong, son."

Aditya looked seriously at his mother's face.

"Did Mom have any feelings, too, when I introduced Rania first?"

Bu Sukma let out a long sigh, then exhaled slowly.

"Already" replied Mrs Sukma. It was Aditya's turn to breathe out slowly.

"But he was your choice back then. I don't want to interfere with your choice" continued Ms. Sukma.

"Despite that, I never stopped praying and asked God to prove my feelings were wrong."

Bu Sukma again sighed heavily.

"But what God showed is just the opposite."

Aditya spread his head at the base of Sukma's arm, then rubbed the back of his mother's wrinkled hand.

Rania came out of the room at lunchtime. With a full outfit like someone who wants to go and thick makeup that always covers his real face. Rania stepped arrogantly through the dining room.

"Hello... Yes, sweetie. I'm out soon."

Rania pretends to be answering the phone from someone, intending to heat up Aditya.

"Boy!! I'm out first, want refreshing!! Maybe it's a little late coming home" Rania told her husband. Hoping Aditya would get angry and ask where he was going, but what happened was far from the fire.

"Hmmm." That was Aditya's response.

Rania stomped her feet hard, annoyed at the husband's uncaring response. After that, Rania stepped out of the dining room, to go see her lover... Aji.

*

Early in the morning, Aditya, Putri and Bu Sukma, were having breakfast together in the dining room, when the door opened violently from the outside. The three of them were aghast in shock, then both turned towards the main door that could still be seen from the dining room.

Rania who had just entered, walked in with rough and wide steps. His face pouted showing annoyance, somehow annoyed for what. Aditya, Putri and Bu Sukma ignored him, then continued the breakfast activity that had stopped for a moment.

"ASSALAMMUALAIKUM!! RANIA!! RANIA DARLING!!"

Shouts of greetings were heard from outside the house, Aditya was very familiar with the owner of the screaming voice.

Brakk!!

"ALLURING!!"

Rania who came out of the room, opened the door of her room violently and stepped quickly to welcome the arrival of the woman who had been screaming from outside.

"Who, Dit? Your in-laws, huh?" Bu Sukma asked in a slow tone.

"Yes, Mom."

Bu Sukma then sighed heavily, he knew this would be a very long and heavy day for all of them, especially Aditya. Although rarely met with the busan, Sukma already understood how the character of the woman named Eliyanti.

"Yes already... Just chill. Looks like you haven't been able to get to the office today, Dit. Ask permission from your leader now," said Ms. Sukma to give advice.

"Yes, Mom."

Adit got up and walked towards his room. The plan is to ask Aryo for help to convince the boss that he is sick, so he cannot come to the office.

"Sucks your ear, Put. Strengthen your chest! The newly arrived woman, her mouth was one kilo of cayenne pepper lamb!"

Instead of feeling afraid, the Princess even laughed a little at the words delivered by her mother-in-law. Bu Sukma glared annoyed, to show that he was serious about what he said earlier.

"Yes, Mum... I am calm," said the Princess casually.

*

Eli's eyeballs were round as big as a jengkol, his chest went up and down holding anger. Next to her, Rania sat glued to her body, crying drama. Bu Sukma sneered at the behavior of his daughter-in-law.

"WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN, ADITYA?! WHY DO YOU DARE TO HURT MY SON?!"

Aditya closed his eyes to make his ears strong to hear the shrill voice of Eli.

"BEFORE YOU WILL NO LONGER FULFILL YOUR DUTY TO US!! APPARENTLY, THERE IS ALREADY THIS WOMAN!! ACTOR POLICY JAHAN**! SUND*WOMAN CHEAP**!! JUST DIE THERE!!"

"Astaghfirullahhaladzim!!" Bu Sukma immediately beristighfar while holding the chest. In addition to her chest pain hearing the harsh words of Ms. Eli, the woman's voice also made the heart of the mother beat very hard.

"Be careful when you talk, ma'am. This princess is my wife" Aditya said in an emphatic tone. As much as possible she refrained from doing rude things to her in-laws.

"RANIA IS ALSO YOUR WIFE!! DID YOU FORGET?!" Again mother Eli spoke in a deafening tone.

"No, Ma. I didn't forget. At least, respect someone you just met."

"APPRECIATE WHAT YOU SAID!! HHHHH!!"

Ms. Eli threw her spit in any place, landing perfectly on the dark brown curtains. Bu Sukma glared at the spit of Eli's mother who perched spoiled on the curtain cloth, as if the spit was sticking out its tongue to him.

"A DRIVER LIKE HIM DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE APPRECIATED!! AN UNSAVORY WOMAN WHO ONLY WANTS TO STRADDLE YOUR TREASURES!! I'M SURE HE DOESN'T HAVE A JOB, BUT WANTS TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE WITHOUT TRYING!! THAT'S WHY HE CHOSE TO BE THE ACTOR!!"

Aditya growled, his hands clenched tightly over the arm of the sofa.

"WHY?! YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT THIS WOMAN I CALL THE ACTOR?! AYE?! HEH!! WHAT MORE WORDS DESERVE TO BE MENTIONED TO REPRESENT THE WOMEN WHO SEIZE THE HUSBANDS OF MEN?! BINAT***?! ANJI**?! OR...."

"ALREADY, MOM!! ENOUGH!!"

Aditya got up from his seat, then looked at his mother-in-law with a bitch. The stare lasted for a few minutes, between Aditya and Eli's mother.

"Now I'm asking Mom!! What words are appropriate for a married woman WHO SLEEPS WITH A MAN WHO IS NOT HER HUSBAND?!"

Rania immediately raised her head, not believing that Aditya would say that to Eli's mother, her own mother.

"MAS!!"

"SHUSH, YOU!!"

Rania's lips trembled, her eyes instantly felt hot, real tears finally coming out as well.

"WHO SLEEPS WITH OTHER MEN?! MY KID?! HEH!! NO WAY!! DON'T UGLY MY SON TO DEFEND THAT CHEAP PERPETRATOR!!"

"MY DAUGHTER IS DIGNIFIED AND EDUCATED!! NOT A VILLAGE WOMAN WHO THIRSTS FOR WEALTH LIKE THAT WOMAN!"

Aditya again clenched his hands together to hold back.

"OK!! I'll show you who your daughter really is, Mom! What is his dignity?! After this, I want to see. Can you still feel proud of your daughter?!"

"Assallammualaikum!"

Five adults in the living room turned at the same time towards the door. Two men and two women were standing in the doorway, waiting to be invited in.

"Glam!! Please come in, sir... Buk."

Four people stepped in, the Princess immediately rose from her seat, so that the sofa in the living room was enough to accommodate all the guests who came.

"Boy!! Why call them?!"

Rania panicked, her face instantly deathly pale looking at the four guests who had just arrived.

"Because only he can give proof to your mother, who you really are!!"

"But, Mom...."

"ALWAYS, RANIA!! JUST CHILL!! I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!! WHATEVER THEY WILL SAY ABOUT YOU, MOTHER DOESN'T CARE!! I KNOW THAT THIS IS JUST YOUR HUSBAND'S WITS!! THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT EVIL!!"

The four guests, none other than Aditya's neighbors, were witnesses to the raid that night. They each still keep video evidence of the incident, from the time Rania entered the house with Aji, until Aji was forcibly evicted from the area.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Adit. Looks like our presence won't exert any influence."

One of the neighbors began to open his voice, while holding his anger because he saw the attitude of Ms. Eli.

"Yes, Mr. Adit. This mother herself told me she wouldn't believe any evidence we were going to show. So, it's free, isn't it? We better just go home." One of the mothers who visited also opened their voices. Aditya let out a long sigh, then exhaled it very slowly.

"Attent, Sir... Buk. I still need the presence of the fathers and the Busy, to be a witness to what I will do," Adit prevented quickly.

Adit confronts Rania, then stares intensely in anger at the woman.

"Samanda Rania!! I drop...."

Suddenly, Rania's body weakens, then decays and falls to the floor. His head hit the end of the table before finally landing on the floor perfectly.

"RANIAN!! RAN!! RANIA!!
