“Where, Rey pick up your phone?” ask her mother who was there to be with her that night. Marwa is worried about Rey whom she did not meet when she came home. In her mind was her husband sleeping because after seven outgoing calls, her husband's number could not be reached again. To eliminate that worry. Marwa sat down next to her mother and gave her medicine before going to bed.
Marwa took good care of her mother according to her husband's orders. “Marwa, Mama asks why are you silent?”
The woman smiled, “Mas Rey usually sleeps at this hour, Ma. I was on the phone when I was active too. But when I called again the number was no longer active,” even though Marwa's feelings that night were really upset. But because in front of his mother, he tried to hide it all.
Rey didn't call him back, she waited for the time where he was called back. But because she told her mother that Rey was sleeping. She also tried to convince herself that her husband was sleeping. “Mending you back to your room! Mama's okay alone,”
“But Papa hasn't come home, Ma,”
Her mother then sat down and held Marwa's hand. “Darling, no problem with Rey, right?”
Marwa knew that there were many things she had to hide in order to avoid resentment from her parents about her husband. As bad as it is, the household must be lived together. Although he had a big fight, but Marwa tried to forget it all and restore his condition in the past.
Over fifteen minutes, Marwa tells of her fine household along with Rey. But she never told any of her husband's vices to his mother.
“News whatever happens the same, Mama! If there's a problem you can't solve, say it! Maybe Mama and Papa can help you both,”
Marwa remembers a few days ago when Rey broke her contract with one of the companies for the sake of family integrity. There he understood how unfortunately Rey to himself and the prospective baby both of them. Marwa also did not want to be too prejudiced against her husband. Believe that what happened is the story of their love journey. Sometimes when the problem comes, God is testing their loyalty. Especially when hearing the story of her mother-in-law when they were still living in her in-laws' house, Marwa remembered that her mother-in-law said that the toughest exam was when the pregnancy there would be many problems. It depends on how they deal with it later.
“Ma, I'm the same husband I have no problem really, so Mama same Papa don't worry about it yes!”
“Mama both Papa believes because you love each other, Mama believes that Rey will also try to make you happy, she is a good child. You are also a good child, hopefully your household is always good with him, yes,”
Marwa smile. “Aamiin, Mom. Thank you Mama's prayer for Marwa is very good, hopefully Mama also soon healed,”
“Mama really want you to stay next to Mama. So Mama's little boy is like old times. But you have a life of your own, so Mama can't keep you here,”
“Mama kangen?”
“Marwa, even if we meet like this. Mama still feels kangen, and Mama will still miss you. When you have a problem or whatever, go home! Mama will remain the same you, Mama will remain a reinforcement for this one and only Mama's child. Papa will also remain a person who always loves you, Papa always considers you his little daughter, just like when you were in kindergarten first,”
“Ma, after all I'm married, Ma. Not a kid anymore,”
“But you are a little angel, Mama same Papa,”
She was embarrassed to hear my mother's answer. Unknowingly she shed tears. “Loh, why cry? Mama misspoke you?”
He shook his head and hugged his mother. “Sorry first if Mama always patiently face me, soon I will be Mama. Ngerasain how it feels to take care of the child, just like Mama used to take care of me until now,”
“Stay patient. Maybe fighting is normal in the household, baby. But you have to be compact with your husband to educate your child, do not let later you become burdened because of the child,”
A happiness that makes Marwa happy is that since the baby was growing in her fetus, many things happened between her and her husband. Problems alternate but they dampen it very well. Even the two are so struggling to keep the family intact. Marwa's voice began to get stuck in her throat as she recalled how her husband gave up the project just for his household. He could no longer hold back his tears, willing how great he was to hold back, still the furthest. “There's a problem?”
Marwa shook her head, “No, Ma. I never had a problem with Rey. I'm just proud of him, Ma. He always tries to stop. Trying to defend the household no matter how big the problem, he never wanted to make everything complicated. She..” her voice could no longer continue what moved her husband.
Her mother hugged her by stroking her back. “Mama is grateful you can be happy with her. Although at first Mama had doubts because you do not know each other. But who could have thought that the two of you were separate people just because of the calamity of the past. So, what makes Mama doubt the loyalty of your husband. Especially now that she loves you so much since you were pregnant, and never confide in others about your household problems if your husband does something bad. It is not good at all, it could be when he made a mistake, instead you expose the ugliness of your husband. Never forget the kindness he's been doing to you,”
“Even Mas Rey never wanted me to do that, Ma. He also does not permit me to gather,”
“Better avoid. If your problems cannot be solved both. There are still parents each to complain, do not tell the same person who can not give a solution. For example, now you fight, you update on social media that your husband is gini-gitu. Tomorrow I get along, uh you deify your husband. Don't let it happen, a lot of it is now ugly-ugly husband. Until forget the same happy that used to be,”
Marwa learned many things a few days while at her mother's house. What Rey also said some time ago about their quarrel should not be until there are parents who know about the ugly. Because they will learn to get rid of the problem.
