My husband is in the room of my best friend
A Mother's Premonition


When Luna and Ariel just finished the spelling, suddenly Aunt Imah came and told her that Ariel's parents had come. And already sitting in the living room. They also brought many gifts and had been placed in the family room by Aunt Imah, because she was also confused where to put.


"Auntie make a drink yes, Mas Ariel and I want to see Mama and my Father-in-law first," said Luna and Aunt Imah also nodded her head.


"Yes, No." After that, Auntie went to the kitchen to make a drink. While Luna and Ariel, they wash their hands first, only after that they go to see Mama Ila and Papa Ardi.


"Mama, Papa," said Luna softly who came to them and kissed the back of Papa Ardi's hand and continued to kiss the back of Mama Ila's hand and hugged her for a while. Ariel did the same thing just the difference, there was no hug like Luna and Mama Ila did just now.


After that, Luna and Ariel sat down before them.


"Where was the trip, Pa, Ma?" ask Luna.


"Currently, without hindrance," replied Papa Ardi.


"How healthy are you?" ask Mama Ila.


"Health, Ma. Thank God" said Ariel.


"Where is the good news?" ask Mama Ila again.


"Yet, Ma. Just pray," replied Luna who understood the meaning of Mama-in-law's words.


"No papa, not yet the time may be. The important thing is that your relationship is fine" said Mama Ila.


"Alhamdulillah Ma, fine." Ariel answered representing Luna who chose silence.


"A few days ago, Mama had nightmares even three days in a row. His dream was terrible. Mama dreams of Luna's wedding dress burning, even Mama also dreams there is blood coming out of Luna's legs like the blood of a person who is miscarriages. Mama also dreams of Ariel who with her pale face like there is no spirit of life to continue wanting death. Honestly Mama creeps it feels. I hope your relationship is good. Honestly, Mama was scared. Afraid if anything happens to your relationship," said Mama Ila who saw the face of her daughter-in-law was not as happy as usual. Unlike the face of Ariel who looked frightened and like she was hiding something. Although they are not honest, sometimes the parents' hunch is not wrong and rarely misses. Mama Ila feels there is a problem that is currently haunting them, but Mama Ila is not likely to interfere unless there are some of them who want to tell stories and ask for help.


"It was just a nightmare, Ma. No need to tell me" said Papa Ardi.


"But, Pa. A mother's feelings are never wrong. And cook yes nightmares but until it repeats three times in a row," replied Mama Ila.


"Yes, maybe because of Mama's soy sauce that's a nightmare like that. Or you forget to read your prayers before you go to sleep."


"Where there is Mama forget to read prayer, Mama always remember even before going to bed also Mama always take ablution." Mama Ila does not want if her dream is underestimated. He believes that the dream is present because he may want to tell himself that his son's marriage is not okay at this time.


"What Papa said is true, Ma. It was just a dream. Don't make a burden, Mama will be sick. After all, until this moment my relationship with Luna is fine, right, darling?" ariel and Luna asked with a nod of their heads and smiled.


"Yes, Ma. Our relationship is good. So Mama does not need to worry," he said but again Mama Ila felt if Luna's smile was different. Not sincere, but like being forced to smile to calm his heart.


"All right, Mama believes. Ariel, Mama hope you become a real man, a responsible man. Mama wants you to be like your Papa, loyal to one partner and not to hurt your wife, whatever the reason," said Mama Ila manasehati.


"Yes, Pa. Pray that I will always be faithful to my wife" Ariel smiled.


As they were chatting, Auntie Imah came with four drinks and cookies and some fruit.


"Thank you, Bi," said Luna politely.


"Together, Non," replied Aunt Imah and went to prepare lunch. Because of course Mama Ila and Papa Ardi will have lunch at this house, so Aunt Imah must cook more and of course take longer.


"Please drink first, Ma, Pa," said Luna and they nodded and drank the drink brought by Aunt Imah earlier.


"Same Papa should nginep yes, we have rarely not met. Luna wants to take Mama and Papa for a walk later in the afternoon if it is not tired, and tomorrow we can go to Ancol together," said Luna enthusiastically.


"Alright, Papa agrees, too" he replied, understanding his wife's gaze, which required him to say yes.


"Aaa .. glad, later we can dinner outside as well as all. At the restaurant owned by Mas Ariel," said Luna who had planned many agendas during her in-laws were here.


"Well, sure the food there is getting better and the menu a lot huh?" ask Mama Ila.


"Yes, Ma. Thank God." replied Ariel.


"Where's the resto, still rame?" Papa Ardi asked.


"Lately it's getting quiet, Pa. Don't know why" said Ariel lethargic.


"Are you wrong with your wife?" her tanya makes Ariel and Luna look at Papa Ardi's face.


"What does Papa mean?" ariel didn't understand.


"Sometimes our efforts are lonely because we accidentally hurt the wife. Remember, our sustenance is smooth because there is the prayer of a wife, and when God deprives us of sustenance or makes our sustenance seem to be away, then in addition to our lack of alms, you may hurt your wife. Your sustenance is getting harder. Never put your wife down, let alone hurt her. Remember, Son. His good fortune depends on the prayer of a wife. The more you make your wife happy, then Papa can be sure, your sustenance will be fruitful." Papa Ardi tried to explain, he had hurt his wife in the early days of marriage to make his business almost bankrupt and fortunately there was someone who advised him and made himself aware of one thing. He was too busy taking care of the two women to forget to make the wife happy at home even makes her lonely and it makes his wife languish and hurt.


When Papa Ardi tried to change his habits and apologize, then put his wife's happiness first, buy what she wanted, always give small gifts. Sure enough, his business that was going bankrupt, little by little began to crawl up again and now his business is still running smoothly.


Actually the heart of the family is a wife, so for example, sustenance is difficult, we must remember, how to treat the husband to his wife. Is it good, is it? Or the opposite? the wife is the heart of the household. If the heart of a wife is not okay, then in addition to the difficult sustenance, the whole house looks like a grave, quiet because there is no more laughter, spoiled and attention.


"Yes, Pa I understand. God willing I've been trying to treat my wife so well all this time" Ariel said, hiding her lies.


"And one more thing, don't let you cheat. Ibn Qayyim once said, four things that hinder the arrival of sustenance, namely, sleep in the morning, a little prayer, laziness, and betrayal. So, don't let you do that despicable thing. Because if that happens, believe me, not only the sustenance that you have got, peace of mind is also difficult for you to achieve. Happiness will also be away from you. It's not that Papa wants to scare you, Papa just doesn't want you to misstep. Papa wants your household to be well and always in the protection of God, so that later he can gather in His paradise together," said Papa Ariel advised.


"Yes, Pa," replied Ariel who felt increasingly guilty after hearing her father's advice.


Seeing Ariel who looks riled up makes Papa Ardi suspicious, especially Mama Ila. She who conceived, gave birth, breastfed and cared for Ariel from infancy to adulthood. Of course he memorized the attitude of Ariel how. And seeing Ariel's anger, Ariel's fear, made Mama Ila even more convinced, if her son was the one who was troubled.


"You're not cheating, are you, Riel?" mama Ila's question made Ariel stunned.'


"What Mama means, can not think seudzon that, the fall of sin. Moreover, mama like accusing me so, later if Luna believes, my household can fall apart," Ariel replied while looking at her.


"Yes up, you were so nervous when Papa said about betrayal, like you've betrayed. Remember, if you betray and hurt your daughter-in-law, you will never forgive you. Look at that, Mama hates betrayal, Mama hates unfaithful men and cheats here and there, Mama also never teaches you to be a cowardly man, which usually only hurts his wife. So do not embarrass your parents let alone throw dirt on the face of Mama and Papa," said Mama Ila firmly. The purpose of throwing dirt on the face is not to make shame and disgrace that makes Mama Ila and Papa Ardi no longer have face to face with people.


"Yes, Ma. Relax, I'm loyal, there's no way to behave strangely," he said with a forced smile that made him look depressed.


"Oh yes, Ma. Not long after my birthday, I want to celebrate in my village. So I want to invite Mama, Papa, and Mas Ariel's extended family to come to my show. I hope Mama and Papa have free time to attend my party" Luna said.


"Mama and Papa are coming. Even Mama and Papa, will bring our extended family to celebrate your birthday, Mama's favorite daughter-in-law. You don't worry, but why should I be in my dear mother's village?" ask Mama Ila.


"I rarely go home, Ma. I want to celebrate birthdays there, and at the same time want the same alms people around, there are many gifts that I will share with them. And there were many surprises as well," Luna replied with a sincere smile.


"Oh so, yes already, you will tell me what day, what day, what date, Mama and Papa will definitely come. Mama will rent a long bus so she can bring a lot of people to attend your birthday event."


"Thank you, Ma," said Luna sincerely.


"Samely dear."


They also talked until the dhuhur adhan was heard. After that, they also pray dhuhur first, just lunch. After the meal, Mama Ila and Papa Ardi went straight to the guest room to take a nap. His body was also tired after a long trip. While Luna was busy unpacking the souvenirs brought by her mother-in-law and put it in her room, some of her share for Aunt Imah and Aunt Neni. For Dion's part there is also and has been entrusted to Aunt Imah.
