Rainbow Blanketed Clouds
Stay Huznudzon

The clouds stared at the car which was getting further away from his sight. He was silent with a clearly visible expression of disappointment. A heavy sigh rang out, making the woman standing behind him rub his shoulders. 

“Already, Cloud! Let it be if the rainbow wants to separate from you.” 

The clouds thinning his lips held back the vexation. If he did not remember that the woman standing next to him was the mother who had given birth to him, he would have cursed the mother. “Mother wants what the hell?” 

“You ask what mom wants?” Sofie's mother repeats the same question with a different facial mimic. He began to get annoyed with the Cloud's gaze which seemed to intimidate him. “Awan, wake up! I just want the best for you. The rainbow bu—” 

“The best for me is Rainbow, Mom!” Finally the anger that was trying to hold him down also broke. The clouds are overwhelmed by a huge sense of disappointment. Wreaking it out with explosive anger. 

Fery's father, who was still sitting with the remains of shock from the incident, had to be shocked again with the sound of Clouds screaming. The middle-aged man hurriedly left his seat and walked hurriedly towards the terrace. 

“Aren't you resisting matchmaking with Rainbow from the start? Even you leave the wedding reception and choose to get drunk. That's what it's called if not rejection?” 

“That's my biggest mistake!” abugn. “And I can speak so harshly to my wife in front of her parents! Think how they feel, Mom!” 

Seeing his son's anger growing uncontrollable, Fery's father approached. “Quiet Cloud! Later we go to the Rainbow house to apologize and explain everything.” 

“Apologies? After all this is there still no apology for me, Dad?” Can't stand it anymore, the clouds chose to step away. Get in the car by slamming the door rough. Then drive the car at high speed. 

Seeing his son's explosive anger made Fery's father become very worried. Clouds sometimes lack good control over their emotions.

“Bu, you have indeed gone too far!” 

Didn't accept the words of her husband, Bu Sofie glared angrily. “you also follow blame me just for Rainbow?” 

“That's you, Mom. Never feel guilty.” Fery's father clicked his tongue. “Your son is trying to organize his new life with the Rainbow. But you destroyed everything! What is more Priska than Rainbow so that your conscience is blinded like this?” 

"Surely Priska is more worthy and worth it."

"Sway and worth it? This is where you should look rainbow quality. The clouds know you're seeing his wife, but Rainbow won't tell me why you came to him. Because why, Rainbow does not want to break a child's affection with his mother."

Fery's father paused his words with Hela a long breath. Somehow we have to face the stubborn Bu Sofie.

“You should be ashamed of Cloud's behavior. It was fortunate that there was a girl as good as the rainbow who was willing to accept the Clouds with all its flaws. Think about what a cloud would be like with Priska? Want to drink for life? Spending time on sin, is that it? Think, Mom!” 

Bu Sofie was instantly speechless, staring at the fat back of her husband who then disappeared behind the door.

Upon arrival at home, Mother Humairah immediately hugged the Rainbow. The crying that he had been holding broke as well, leaving a heartbreaking sobbing. It had never been imagined before that the daughter he had raised lovingly was less fortunate in her marriage. Even considered unworthy by her own mother-in-law.

“Room, why don't you ever tell mom that your husband and in-laws treat you like that, son? Mommy hurts hearing her mother say Awan.” 

“I'm sorry dad, son,” said Dad was full of regrets and sadness. “Father is guilty of you in choosing a mate.” 

Seeing the grief of his parents, Zidan immediately interjected.

"Already, Dad. Don't think like that. I could be sick later." Zidan tried to calm Ahmad's father, considering that he had a history of heart disease.

"Pity your brother, Zidan."

"Who said Brother Rainbow pity, Father? Sis Pelangi is lucky."

"Lucky?" ask Mother Humairah. "Lucky how you mean, Zidan. See how they treat your sister! Did you hear what her mother-in-law said? He said the rainbow doesn't deserve to be in their midst."

"Huznudzon, Mom. God willing, Rainbow is a lucky man. Same mom Dad always taught to huznudzon to God, right? We see this as a form of God's love for Kak Pelangi. God is testing Kak Pelangi to raise her faith to a higher level."

The rainbow wiped away the tears that ran down both sides of her cheeks.

“Nothing is in vain in this world, Mom, Dad. Everything must have its silver lining. Then what about Asiyah wife of Fir’aun. Was not Asiyah one of the four women who were glorified by God and guaranteed to go to heaven? Her faith was tested through her husband.”

Mrs Humairah is still sobbing.

The rainbow covered the smile on her lips. The fingers of the mother. “Zidan's right, Mom. Don't be sad! Didn't Umar Bin Khattab also live in the days of Jahiliyah? He was very opposed to the Prophet and was very feared by the Muslims because they often tortured the followers of the Prophet. But then Allah guides us through the prayer of the Prophet. And, finally Umar Bin Khattab became one of the friends loved by the Prophet.” 

“Mas Cloud is not evil, Mom. He just got lost and didn't know the right direction.” 

...........

The cloud stepped on the deep gas pedal as it passed through the traffic light that had just changed color, making the car dart in the middle of the road crowd. In the mind of the Cloud now only one. Must arrive home sooner to explain the misunderstanding of his wife and in-laws.  

“Dad, mom same Rainbow must be angry. I have to explain everything before it's too late."

Passing through a sharp bend, the clouds slammed the steering wheel to the left. Suddenly he lost his balance when a container truck tried to overtake him.

The car driven by Awan was runny and hit the sidewalk until finally rolled over, dragged for several meters, and finally stopped at the corner of the road in an upside down state. A black smoke fused with the air. Weak moans were heard several times.

"Pe-la-ngi!"

Then, within a few seconds, it became quiet. The clouds were unconscious again with a melt of red liquid flowing in several parts of his body.
