Muara Kasih Single Mother
Srikandi Philosophy

Now back in the city of Jogjakarta, there are those who really resist the longing to be able to meet their beloved husband. However, Ervita believes that there are only two days left and she will be able to meet with Pandu. The first thing she wanted to do when her husband came was to be able to hug her husband.

However, this day passed even faster as her in-laws, Pertiwi, and her two nephews returned to play to her home. A lot of chatter, besides Indi and Lintang also play together. Makes the day go by faster.

"It doesn't feel like it's been five days, Vi," said Ms. Tari.

Actually if anyone is worried about Ervita is her mother-in-law. Bu Tari himself remembered long ago, when Pertiwi when the first LDR and dalau so many days. What Bu Tari was afraid of was when Ervita was also upset. However, it turns out that Ervita can carry herself and keep her emotions well. Hopefully, Ervita is mentally fine too.

"Yes, Mom. Initially, Ervi thought it was very difficult to undergo a long-distance relationship. But now it's only two days left. It feels like he really wants to meet Mas Pandu," replied Ervita.

Indeed the thing that initially felt so heavy, but once it has been done it is lighter. At first Ervita thought she couldn't survive. However, given that there were only two days left, Ervita would survive.

"Everything if lived it feels lighter, Vi. Mom felt it first. Now I also give spirit to you who are young. Don't give up, live it. Alon-alon from lapanon," replied Bu Tari.

Now both Ervita and Pertiwi were taught by his mother with a Javanese proverb that reads 'Alon-alon loon origin,' which means it is okay to slow down, as long as it can be lived and reached the destination. Dare to start, dare to feel, and certainly dare to face. Slow down if the maximum result is precisely what is grateful, rather than starting all haste, and the results are not optimal.

"Excite, Ma. Just like Ervi who went through these days carefully, slowly. Although impressed for a long time, and had to wait, but for Mas Pandu, Ervi will wait, Mom," he replied.

Pertiwi who listened to Ervita's story laughed and nodded her head. "You've been kayaking Pandu loh, Vi ... bucin," he replied.

Now Ervita who felt ashamed of Pertiwi because of her who said Bucin. However, what else if it concerns the affairs of the heart and love. There will only try as much as possible. Will wait, even though the longing feels heavy. Like being chained and haunted by longs.

"What the hell is it, Ma'am?" Ervita replied with a laugh.

"Yes, long time so look like Pandu deh. Kayak tumbu can close it," Pertiwi reply.

What Pertiwi said made Ervi and Bu Tari both laugh. It was unexpected that Pertiwi could give such an assessment. But actually, Ervita just said honestly and just said what she felt.

"Clop, you're the same Scout. Yes, the bottle and the lid. Klop, one-unity," replied Pertiwi again.

While Ervita laughed. Maybe because it blends with Pandu, a lot of time spent together. So, slowly there is a side of the two that turns out to be similar. Complement each other.

"Yes, right ... Ervi is speaking honestly, Ma'am. It's better to be talked into than just to be harbored," she replied.

"That's a big deal," replied Pertiwi.

Now Bu Wati looked to take care of Irene and put her granddaughter to sleep and was invited to enter from Pendopo into the room. Meanwhile, in Pendopo used Ervita to chat with his Mother-in-law. Sharing stories, while observing Indi and Lintang playing together.

"More adaptable now huh, Vi?" ask Pertiwi now.

"Lumayan, Ma'am. Just trying to survive actually. Only if the night is kangen. However, fully trust Mas Pandu if Mas Pandu there works as well," replied Ervita.

Pertiwi seemed to nod her head. "Stay back to our trust, Vi. It is undeniable that the household has many problems. The important thing is that the fire of trust should not be extinguished," Pertiwi replied.

"Yes, Ma'am. I experienced. If you continue to think negatively, the effect will certainly be negative as well, Ma'am. So, it is better to think positively while waiting for Jayah to come," Ervita replied.

"Last day, I also had a little problem, Vi," Pertiwi told me in the end.

Heard that his sister-in-law had a problem. As if, Ervita was thinking what was really going on. Until, Ervita then asked Pertiwi.

"What's the problem, Mother?" Ervita asked with a peeking look.

"I met my best friend first, Vi. A friend I consider like a brother. My best friend stabbed me in the back. He snatched my girlfriend and they both ended up in bed. I met at the clinic the day after tomorrow," Pertiwi told me.

Now Ervita did not expect that Pertiwi had a bitter past either. If betrayed by friends, it must have an impact on the social life of Pertiwi. Ervita guessed whether in the end, Pertiwi had a trauma or was reluctant to make friends.

"Mbak Pertiwi is not traumatized to be friendly right?" ask Ervita.

"It used to be a trauma. He thought, I'm a sincere friend, but my girlfriend was groped as well. They even got to bed. I lost faith in a relationship. Until then I chose just to know, but not to get too close" Pertiwi replied.

Well, Ervita has guessed before that there is a sense of loss of trust in a relationship. Doubt the loyalty of the flock. Feeling friendship in the end just stabs you in the back. Up to this point, Ervita knew very well that what Pertiwi felt used to be very difficult.

"If you think bad or negative, already legitimately betrayed, dating is also a man unfaithful. So weird, right? However, I slowly realized that it was God's way of separating me from the man who was not really my soul mate. For what man judges best in his eyes is not necessarily good in the eyes of God. On the contrary, the good of God is best for man. If I hadn't experienced all that, I wouldn't have met Mas Damar. Building a household and now blessed with Latitude and Sky," reply Pertiwi.

It used to be when the first time heartbroken because of love and friendship, it was very painful. His heart felt sliced. However, after being able to cultivate the taste, organize the heart, and reflect, Pertiwi is convinced that it is God's way of bringing her closer to the man she is a match for.

"If you can reflect yourself anyway, good Mbak. Sometimes an event happens and there is God's purpose in it. Depending on the human being can reveal whether it is not," replied Ervita.

"Yes, right ma'am. The story is a little well, only yesterday it was upset when I was cornered for immunizing the Sky myself and not being delivered by a husband. While my best friend was delivered by her husband. There is no harm when women become independent. We are Srikandis too. Dare to act, dare to take roles, and also independent," Pertiwi replied.

In the Mahabarata epic which records the great war between Kaurava and Pandavas, there is a figure whose presence became the cause of death of the keeper of the throne Hastina Pura, he is Srikandi. A woman willing to take up arms in the great war of Bharatayuddha. The figure of Srikandi who is bold, independent, and strong, and not afraid it becomes a symbol that women today can be a figure like Srikandi.

"Agree, Ma'am. We are independent in order to relieve the husband as well. Husbands have worked hard, if we are a little independent, the husbands can also rest" replied Ervita.

"Well, that. Although our presence is behind the figure of a man, but by being a Srikandi who dares to appear in a crucial moment, things can change. Don't you?"

Now Ervita nodded her head. "Yes, Ma'am. I concur. I hope the taunts from his best friend Ma'am. Pertiwi did not need to be put in the heart. Life and mentality become healthy when we dare to choose a problem. Don't put it all into your heart" replied Ervita.

"That's so bad, Vi. A wife and a housewife like us also need a healthy mentality. So that the children we foster also become healthy and happy," replied Pertiwi.

"If you think about it, if you never betrayed a friend and girlfriend at once, will not meet Mas Damar right? If you do not meet Mas Damar, not necessarily also Latitude and Sky will be born. I agree it's the way the universe keeps us away from people who aren't our soul mates, and then we get closer to our best soul mates" Ervita replied.

"Well, that's right, Vi. I agree with what you said. Way closer to our soul mate," Pertiwi replied.

Afterwards, Pertiwi nodded her head. "Trims, Vi .. having a sister-in-law like you sometimes makes me like a younger sibling" Pertiwi said. Indeed Pertiwi herself felt when having a sister-in-law like Ervita it was like having a younger brother.

"Together, Mother. Can talk to Ma'am. Pertiwi can also eliminate saturation. Make time run faster because there are exciting activities. Rather than being alone it is only practical to nurture Indi and Irene," replied Ervita.

Pertiwi and Ervita both smiled. The second way to wait for her husband does require patience. Counting the days that go by each day. Until finally, Pertiwi and Ervita feel more grateful because the day he lived, as if impressed shorter.
