PUNISHMENT OF DESTINY
CHAPTER 2. MOTHER ADVICE

"Assalamualaikum" said Mishell, knocking on the door.

"Mom, Miss Mishell's coming home!" shout Gracefully. Gracefully opened the door in a hurry.

"Alhamdulillah Brother! where did you come from, two nights not to go home? We are very worried about my brother.

"Mobile Sister Mishell could not be reached, while Anggun and mother did not know the new sister's work address."

"Yes, sorry Dek. We were busy and Brother's phone was also damaged by a fall, mother where is Dek?"

"In the garden behind Kak, picking vegetables. Hajj ma'am asked to deliver vegetables to his stall."

Ms. Anis, the mother of Mishell and Anggun has always been diligent in gardening. From the results of the garden, he could ease the burden of Mishell.

Although Mishell always gave him money, but Ms. Anis kept some of it just in case, she knew there was an urgent need.

Seeing her sister relaxing at home, while the sick Ms. Anis was still gardening, Mishell rebuked Gracefully, "Why don't you help mom, Dek?"

"The numbers are going to be some of Kak's house and this afternoon will go to school, because there are extracurricular activities."

"Oh, go get ready! I want to see Mom first."

"Sister, can you please ask for money?" said Anggun with a clear face, while swaying spoiled on Mishell's arm.

"Back of my ex, my friends are watching and they say the movie is very good, Anggun 'will be bored at home, sister!"

"Heem..but remember Deck! maghrib has to get home! Sister Mishell doesn't like it, the girl of the night is still outside.

"You know, right, this time the condition is prone, let alone the begal wandering everywhere."

"Ready Brother!" said Anggun while receiving the money given by Mishell and ran to his room.

Mishell goes after Ms. Anis in the garden.

When I saw Mishell coming, "Owalah Le, where have you been son! Why not give me news? Plan, after dropping off these vegetables, I'm gonna go look for you."

"Sorry Mom, there was a problem at the factory where Mishell was working" Mishell replied. His face was immediately gloomy.

"There's a problem what Le, tell me! maybe Mom can help. Looks like your problem is very heavy, huh Le?"

Mishell sighed, then said, "The factory has a fire. And all that, because of Mishell's carelessness."

"Oh my God, are there any victims of Le? You don't have any injuries, do you?" bu Anis asked worriedly, then left her job and approached Mishell while watching the body of the son.

"What did you do after all, Le, to cause a fire?"

"Mishell overslept Mom. There were no casualties, but the company's losses were huge, because almost all the charred goods burned."

"Can't we go to Le? sit down and tell me the chronology of what happened to Mom!"

"Mishell was confused Mom, why he fell asleep.

In fact, usually sleepy whatever Mishell can hold. But, that night Mishell didn't remember anything."

"When the fire grew and the body became hot, Mishell woke up."

"Oh Allah Le, the company must take your responsibility. This is Le's ordeal, I don't want to, if you go to jail."

"Now, what should we do is yes Le, to make up for the loss. Mother's savings amount is just a little, where maybe the company boss will forgive you," said Ms. Anis while massaging her head which suddenly felt dizzy.

Mishell was silent, she was anxious, but Mishell did not want her mother to get sick because she thought about the problem.

Then Ms. Anis took Mishell's hand, and said, "Le. If by the way Mom works there, be their maid for life, your boss will forgive, I'm willing to do it, Le."

"There's no way Mishell would let Mom do that. It's better for Mishell to go to jail than for Mom to take over Mishell's responsibilities."

"Mother don't worry, Mishell doesn't want me to be sick. Mishell could've solved it. Mishell just needs advice and prayers from mom."

"Look ma'am, the owner of the company has made an offer, if you don't want Mishell to go to jail."

"What's Le's offer?" bu Anis asked impatiently, while shaking Mishell's arm.

Before the mother asked, Mishell told her what she was talking about this afternoon with Grandpa Artha, the owner of the company where she works.

Mother was silent after hearing Mishell's story, according to her both choices offered, equally heavy.

"How's Ma? if Mishell chooses to marry that girl?"

"Actually marriage is not a game or a medium of exchange Le."

Ms. Anis was silent again, she had to think carefully to give advice to Mishell so that her son could make his choice later, without regret.

Then, Ms. Anis continued her words, "According to mother, both are equally heavy. The difference is, if you choose prison, you can be free in the time that has been decided. But if you choose to marry, you must be ready to bond with the girl for life."

"Mother, do not want you to get married just for the sake of a moment's safety and for the lure of property. I want you to be sincere, so that you can get happiness. Learn, love and care for the girl, even if she's disabled."

"Are you ready for Le, to be her legs and eyes for the rest of her life? And if he recovers, you may be dumped. When your wife realizes that you are not the man she loves and of course because you are not equal."

"Think and consider Le's mother's words, before you decide," said Ms. Anis as she patted Mishell's back.

"Thank you for the advice, ma'am. Mishell was ready to marry the girl, not out of fear or about property, but out of humanity."

"Their love is Ma'am, especially Grandpa Artha. The girl was his only granddaughter, whom he hoped could give birth to a successor."

"But, all of Mishell gave up on mom. If it should be imprisoned, Mishell is also prepared, because it's a consequence of Mishell's carelessness."

Ms. Anis fell silent, for a moment she considered everything.

"Do the Istikharah Le, to ask God for guidance, as to what is the best choice. It's just the last suggestion from mom, so you're more determined in making a decision."

"Remember Le, the Prophet said: "If one of you wants to do something, first do two rakaat prayers in addition to fardhu prayers..." (CHR. Ahmad, Al-Bukhari, Ibn Hibban, Al-Baihaqi and others)

"Thank you again Mom, I reminded Mishell. Later that night, Mishell will do Istikharah first Ma'am, to be calmer."

"Mother will also help Le pray, may whatever you decide, be the best for everything."

"Now, go to rest, so that your body and mind relax. I'm gonna prepare a little more vegetable harvest."

"Yes Mom. Mishell take a break, ma'am."

Ms. Anis sighed, she did not expect, if the fate of Mishell was still unlucky.

"You should live a good life and get the girl you like Le. This is all because they are too greedy!"

"I'm sorry, Mother Le, it's not your intention to make you miserable. Later, if it's time, I'll bring you back."

"Right now, your nails aren't strong enough to fight them. Hopefully, your brother also survived and lived happily, although I'm not sure" monologue Bu Anis.

Ms. Anis got up, she did not continue the vegetable harvest, but instead washed her hands and feet, then headed for the room.

He picked up a bracelet and baby clothes and a flashback of the past flashed through his mind.

"Baby Mistress, now growing up to be a very handsome and kind man. The lady must have missed him so much. I hope Madam's okay there, with Marshell. We'll definitely be back, yeah!" monologue Bu Anis again.

Ms. Anis kept the memorial in her closet, then she rushed back to the garden, preparing the harvest and then to the kitchen to cook Mishell's favorite food.

Inside the room, Mishell was not sleeping, but he was imagined when he saw Kalila, he did not yet know what the girl's face looked like.

Although only looking behind her body, but Mishell sure, Kalila is a beautiful girl.

Grandpa Artha alone, despite his old age, still visible remnants of good looks.

"I have to help her, pity the girl, her future is still long. Lord, please guide me so that I don't misstep, "monologist Mishell.

Mishell finally fell asleep and in his sleep, he again dreamed of seeing a fire that raged in the factory where he worked.

A cold sweat soaked Mishell's body, she screamed and finally woke up, as she called and knocked on the door, asking him to perform the Ashar service.
