Retaliation of the Sick Wife
Meet the Bisma Parents
Following the footsteps of Bisma entering his house, Kanaya's heart seemed to beat so fast. His legs were reluctant to step, but the two legs of Bhishma as if that continues to lead him to be able to enter the house that looks so beautiful. The house with a yard that contains various types of ornamental plants and a fish pond at the edge of the garden makes the house look so beautiful.
“Sore Father, Mother ...,” greet Bisma to Father and Mother who turned out at that time to have sat in the living room. A middle-aged couple who seem to get along with each other, Tirta Pradana is the father of Bisma, a businessman and also a business associate of Jaya Corp., a former businessman, and also Hesti Pradana is the mother of Bisma who works as a Midwife. From this it is seen that Bhishma can become a Doctor because the Mother is a Midwife or Dolla.
“Good afternoon Om, Aunt ...,” hello Kanaya to the two parents of Bhishma.
“Ya please come in. Let Ma'am, please sit down ...,” graciously Mother Hesti invites Kanaya to sit down.
Sighing, Kanaya shook the hands of the two Bhishma parents one by one, then sat down in front of the two Bhishma parents. His feelings are mixed at the moment. The first experience for Kanaya to come face to face with the Bhishma parents.
After everything sat down, Bisma then began to open her voice, “Ayah .. Mommy, she is Kanaya, the woman who has been the Bhishma of her tribe. Bhishma wanted to introduce Naya directly to Father and Mother, and Bhishma wanted to have a serious relationship. If Father and Mother give their blessing, after the specialization program of Bisma is completed, Bisma wants to marry Naya.”
Apparently, Bisma did not mess with his words, the man firmly expressed his desire to marry Kanaya after he completed a specialization program in Singapore. The words of Bisma also seemed to make both parents stunned and took turns to look at Bisma and Kanaya.
“Kun Mommy, who just this first time brought a girl home, apparently immediately wanted to get married. You're being really serious. Is that right, Sister Naya? So this Madam Naya is Bisma's boyfriend? Work where Mbak?” Ask Mother Westi who would want to know in advance the girl who is currently brought by her son to the house.
Kanaya smiled, “I work in Jaya Corp, Auntie ... in my spare time, I also write digital novels to just channel hobbi.” Kanaya replied slowly. It felt that if only limited to getting acquainted, it was enough for him to explain his work. No need to explain too much detail, he thought.
“Mbak Naya's former son-in-law Pak Jaya Wardhana isn't it?” ask Tirta's father while looking at Kanaya.
The question that made Kanaya instantly bow her head. There is a fear of rejection and also low self-esteem that makes Kanaya feel unworthy to be part of the Pradana family. The girl then nodded pias, “ya right Om.” replied Kanaya softly.
Apparently before Kanaya answered, it was Bhishma who first voiced out, “really Father and Mother .. Kanaya status is indeed a widow, but how else the heart of Bhishma is tethered to Kanaya. We've known each other for a long time, we've known each other since High School. So Bhishma knows Kanaya very well, after all Kanaya is a good woman. Not all widows connote negatively kan.” an answer that explains how Bhishma seems to emphasize that Kanaya is a good woman, and she emphasizes that not all widows connote negatively.
Mother Hesti also smiled looking at Bisma and Kanaya alternately, “Mother herself does not mind your status as someone who has failed in building a marriage, Ms. Naya. Failing before, cannot be used as a benchmark will fail in the next relationship. All women, both girls and widows have the same opportunity right.” said Mother Nesti who looks wise and as if opening her hands to receive her hands.
After saying that, slowly Mother Nesti looked at her husband who was sitting next to her, “Dad also not so, Yah.Mbak Naya will not feel good if you suddenly ask her past. Even though Dad already knew, because Dad was his partner Mr. Jaya,” gently Mother Hesti also rebuked her husband, so as not to openly ask about Kanaya's past.
Looks like Tirta's father immediately cleared his throat, “Ehem, not Dad meant it. Dad just asked me how Mother?” Then the middle-aged man, looking at Kanaya, “sorry yes Mbak Naya. It's all in the past, right? Om yourself, just like Mother, it does not matter if Bhishma chooses you.”
Bisma's originally tense face, suddenly raised a smile at the corner of her lips, while Kanaya only seemed to sigh. The girl only smiled slightly and lowered her face. Bhishma knew very well, maybe Kanaya felt uncomfortable this time, therefore it might not need to linger, Bhishma had to convince Kanaya again that her parents did not mind her status who was a widow.
“Ayah .. Mommy, this was Bisma directly invited Kanaya here after she worked, Bisma reckon, now Bhishma can only introduce Naya for a while because Naya must have been soy all day. Later at another time, Bisma will invite Naya to go home again,” he said then stood up and took Kanaya's hand, “ayo Nay .. I drove home.”
Kanaya also stood up later, saying goodbye first to the two Bhishma parents, the girl showed her smile even though her heart was still not sure. The first, Kanaya is not yet convinced by herself, there is a sense of trauma with marriage that makes it seem unprepared to start a new page. Moreover, her previous marriage was full of sorrow and tears, there was a fear from Kanaya's side to start over a new beginning. The second, Kanaya is still not convinced that the Bhishma parents will actually accept her. Even though the father of Tirta and Mother Hesti said that they did not mind the status of Kanaya, but the question that was spoken by Father Tirta also made Kanaya seem vigilant.
“You're okay with Nay?” ask the Bisma to Kanaya. He knew exactly that the change in Kanaya's countenance might be closely related to the change in her heart situation. The questions asked by her father may be too sensitive for women who have failed in marriage.
Kanaya just shook her head, “okok kok .. I'm fine.” even though her lips say that she is fine, she is fine, but Bisma was very sure that the woman who was now sitting by her side in one car was thinking about something.
