Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
4. Abi's Concerns

Tot, tock, tok.

"Sir, may I come in." Rara opened the door of the room where her Abi was inside.

Rara saw Abi's trembling back, indicating that she was crying. If earlier in front of the others Rara could still smile but after seeing her Abinya like that her eyes started to glaze over.

"Pig..." Rara's voice even trembled slightly.

"Don't turn on yourself again Abi, it's my choice. I'm sure my husband will be able to give me his love. I just need to be patient and pray, as Abi said. Only God can turn a man's heart."

Abi turned around and stared fixedly at his daughter's face that had been flooded with tears.

"How Abi did not feel guilty son, the man even left you on the pulpit alone earlier let you be the scorn of people, never looked at you and was reluctant to come into contact with his own wife."

Apparently from earlier Abi always noticed the motion of his new daughter-in-law.

Rara approached her Abi, hugged her and shed her tears.

"This is the way to heaven that God has given me, Abi. Perhaps all this time I was disobedient and too far from Him that God made me aware of these trials and trials. I will accept my destiny, I will fight until I am happy to welcome. Please give your blessing for Rara to follow her husband wherever he is, so that your daughter's household is diridhoi Allah."

There is no greater love than a father's love for his daughter, until whenever a father will shade his daughters. Even though after marriage a princess is no longer his responsibility.

While Rara tries to convince Abi, outside Revan is trying to be nice to his wife's family. He paid his respects to his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

"Mom..." His lips stiffened as he uttered the call. He called Umi because he had heard his wife calling his mother Umi.

"Yes, son" said Umi.

"We can't stay here long because I'm working on a thesis. I apologize for bringing my wife home this time."

"You don't have to apologize because that's what a wife's duty is to follow her husband wherever he goes. Umi tipped Rara, forgive her if she can't take care of you well because she's too young."

Revan nodded in understanding, he also did not need anyone to take care of him because all this time he could take care of himself. Died since childhood by his parents, making him grow up to be an independent man. And again there is a maid in the house.

So her nickname is Rara.

Of the many that her mother-in-law said, Rara said slightly attracted her attention.

Grandfather Tio who saw his grandson being polite by asking permission to his in-laws was a little happy. Although he was angry because Revan just disappeared in the middle of the event.

Revano did not want to play with a sacred relationship like marriage, although he was married to his current wife because he was betrothed, but he already intended to be a responsible husband and treat his wife well. And about his relationship with Febby, he just still has to convince his heart again about his true taste in the girl.

Revan also could not just break the relationship that he had been in for one year, considering Febby's struggle when approaching him made him not have the heart. All those years the girl kept following him tirelessly.

*Ap*a is love, maybe it's not love but sympathy.

However, so far the only woman who makes it comfortable is only Febby. Revan is not the type of man who likes to change girlfriends, although many girls are waiting in line to be his girlfriend. She doesn't fall in love easily, until she sees Febby's persistence and eventually tries to get into a relationship with him.

Slowly Abi's heart was broken thanks to Rara's efforts to convince him. He went out and took his daughter through the door.

"Son Aziz, trust Grandpa. I will look after and love your daughter like my own granddaughter" said Tio's grandfather.

"Yes cake, leave my daughter and remind her if she made a mistake while she was serving her duties as a wife. He doesn't understand much and still has much to learn."

Rara also hugged them all one by one. No longer crying like before her Abi, but now her face has been decorated with a smile so as not to make her family sad again.

Then it was Revan's turn now, he had not had time to talk to his father-in-law.

"Abi.pardon me I can't linger here because I'm working on a thesis, we'll visit often later." Not much different from what he said to Umi.

This is the second time Rara heard the voice of her husband, the first time when he was saying the qobul ijab. However, until now he did not know what the face of the man who had become his priest. He did not yet have the courage and just stared at his back.

Who would have thought that Abi would hug his daughter-in-law. Everyone was made to look at it.

"Titip Abi son's daughter, if you can't love her yet, please try not to hurt her. Learn as our prophet treats his wife" said Abi, who still holds her daughter-in-law's body.

Abi's message so touched Revan's heart. Seen once if the wife is very loved by her Abi.

Revan just nodded, it was true that there was currently no love between them, but about hurting Revan had no idea what his father-in-law meant. Whether still being in a relationship with another woman would hurt his wife, wasn't he also not in love with Revan at the moment.

Revan will think about it later, he also did not know his wife and just saw her face yet. Not unwilling, but Rara's attitude that always avoids being with her is what makes Revan so sad.

They finally left to start a fairly long journey from the village where Rara lived to Jakarta.

,,,

"We just pray Bi, so that our daughter does not find too many obstacles in living her household life."

Umi rubbed the arm of her husband who was still staring at the car that her daughter and daughter-in-law were riding in, until it was not seen.

"Are they gonna be okay." Abi's worries can't just go away.

"Umi, Abi stop grieving so that Rara can also calm her heart while away from us. There is still one more daughter here, but no one is watching me" said Luna who pretended to sulk at her parents.

"Of course we also love you son, where maybe Abi forgot Abi's daughter who is a grown up today." Ledek Abi on his daughter who this year is 23 years old, five years difference from the younger brother.

"No Abi, I will always be his little daughter Abi and Umi." Luna was pampered on Abi's arm.

"One day you'll also get married son, hopefully Abi can still have a chance to marry Abi's daughter again."

Abi gently rubbed the black mane of his daughter's hair, there was a prayer in it so that what befell his sister would not happen to him again.

"Stop saying it's Abi, you'll definitely live long until you have grandchildren and great-grandchildren later."

"Of course, let's go in. You guys are here when you talk is endless." Umi broke up the small debate of father and son, then took the daughter and husband into the house.
