Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
17. Phone From Mommy

°°°

After entering her room Rara was eager to call her umi and her ashes in the village, but it was late at night she was worried that they had rested.

Usually, the villagers sleep early because there if the night is very quiet, there are no vehicles passing by, especially the night life is not there at all. Only the sound of night animals that sound earthy, such as crickets, birds and others.

Rara undoes her intentions again, tomorrow she thought. Usually he calls home in the afternoon or evening, morning must be Umi and Abi busy.

Drrt. drrtt.

Just now Rara was about to put down her phone, there was already an incoming call.

"Mak Luna."

Rara read the name on her phone screen.

"Assalamualaikum mbak." Rara so excited to say hello.

"Wa'alaikumsalam. What are you doing?"

"Newly prepare to sleep mbak. Ma'am how are you?"

Rara sat on the edge of the bed.

"Good deck. How are you guys, you and your husband?"

"We're okay, ma'am."

"Really, you're not lying, are you? Don't cover anything from Ma'am, did you forget you could tell if you were lying."

"Yes Ma'am, I know you're a great psychologist. How dare I lie." Rara chuckles.

"Then have you met that woman?"

Rara was quite surprised by the question from her brother, indeed Luna had guessed that Revan still had a relationship with another woman. But hearing her brother ask her like that she still did not expect, as great as her brother or maybe because they have a strong inner bond as brothers.

"Hi why just shut up Dek, are you being bullied by him. Tell Ma'am if anyone dares to bully you."

A second later Rara laughed at her brother's courage, from childhood indeed Luna was always a shield for Rara when there were children who disturbed her. Can Rara imagine for sure at this time her brother was shaking his waist and showing his index finger.

"No Ma'am, no one bullies me. Everything I can still deal with, in my own way."

Rara slightly insinuated her brother who sometimes always uses violence in dealing with problems.

"Yes, I know you are the most patient and smart but do not let your patience be used by others to oppress you."

"Not going to brother."

"Good, remember don't keep the wound alone. Be careful because you don't know what a woman looks like, she's not a good woman because a good woman won't keep dating a married man."

"Yes, Rara will be careful. Oh yeah, what's the sudden phone call?"

"Bak want to tell you that Mbak has successfully passed the thesis hearing with good grades, Dek."

From the tone of his speech alone sounds very happy because the value has never been that good, in contrast to Rara who has always been a class champion. But there was never envy among them.

"Congratulations, Rara was happy to hear that. Umi and Abi must be very proud of you, Ma'am."

"Thank you Dek, this is also thanks to the do'a of all of you all along. You can come at the graduation show in two weeks, right?"

"God willing, I would have come if I had my husband's permission."

"Oh yes mbak forgot, you must first permission the same sister-in-law. You take it easy, until sister-in-law doesn't give you permission to give her a lesson."

"Yes, yes, yes." Rara laughed at hearing that.

Chatting with her sister always makes Rara feel happy, Luna is very good at turning the atmosphere around. Until their chatter ended Rara was still smiling to herself, Rara's mood instantly improved.

"You haven't slept?" asked Revan who had just entered his room, usually if he returned to his wife's room was already asleep.

"Not yet, sister, Luna called."

"What happened, why do you seem so happy." Revan who saw Rara smiling was curious.

"So mbak said he has successfully graduated, brother, can I come to his graduation?"

"Sure, when?" ask Revan.

"Well, we'll come together."

"Thank you, sister" said Rara with sparkling eyes and a smile on her lips.

Revan was enchanted with that smile, he continued to notice the beautiful face of his wife who was currently exuding happiness. If only he could see that smile every day, a smile created because of him. While Revan realized that all this time he only brought wounds for his wife.

"Let's go to sleep, it's too late."

Revan spilled his body beside his wife. For now there are still two bolsters that restrict them. Although not infrequently when the morning bolsters were no longer in place, but still their bodies were never too close together, there was a limit that they could not scrape.

Rara turned off the headlights and left only the sleeping lights on the nightstand, then began to close her eyes into a dreamland.

,,,

The morning was welcoming, as usual Rara woke up before dawn broke. Opening his eyes without alarm or anything that awakens him, he is already automatically awakened from his deep sleep. It is his obligation to the creator that makes him wake up from his dream.

The handsome face of her husband who every day began the beautiful scenery of his morning, as he opened his eyes. It was very desirable to touch the hand fingers of God's creation that there was no gap, but Rara did not have the courage. Only in do'a Rara always hope that someday she can reach her husband's love.

"For Bi," said Rara to bi Mur and the others. After completing her routine as a Muslim she came down to perform her duties as a wife.

"Non's Eve."

"Today cook what Bi?"

"So much Non Rara, we just obey Non," replied bi Mur followed by a nod by another aunt.

"Is there a favorite meal of their grandfather or sister Revan that they like best?"

Cooking every day makes Rara confused looking for a cooking menu so as not to get bored.

"It looks like master grandpa likes non fish soup. Back when his late mother Mr. Revan was alive, he liked to make it for his father."

Bi Mur who has worked there for a long time remember when his mother Revan was alive.

"I'll try to make it bi, later please help me show you what spices my mother-in-law used to wear."

Rara is excited to try the new menu that she will make.

30 Minutes later, the food was finished.

"Finally finished Bi, try Aunty taste first whether it feels like the late mother-in-law made."

Bi Mur tasting fish soup made by Rara.

"How about Bi, is there anything lacking??" rara asked, she was nervous as if she was in a cooking competition. Moreover, seeing the look on bi Mur's face that seemed to think.

"Not good, Bi?"

"It's very tasty Non, just like the mistress made."

Bi Mur to the point of shedding tears as he said so. Her memories with Madam Fina were like spinning back in her mind as she felt the soup Rara made.

"Auntie's not lying, is it?" Rara was still unsure of what bi Mur said.

"True Non, in addition to the same taste there is something that makes Miss Rara's cooking exactly the same as that made by Mrs Fina. There's love in it, non Rara makes her sincerely full of love."

Bi Mur remembers that his late mistress used to say 'The cook should be as sincere and make him happy, then those who eat our cooking will feel our sincerity in it.'

Rara was a little relieved to hear bi Mur's words, although she still felt nervous thinking about how her grandfather and husband would react.
