Sharing Love: Is My Husband Yours?
Conveniences

The sun was shining so bright this morning. As usual, I have been busy since dawn. Cooking, washing, cleaning the house, cleaning the yard became my daily routine.

"Rania, you're thinking flush suplir don't just one dipper! One pot of the suplir is at least half a bucket of water." I still complain about my hard work every day.

"Look at my mother's suplir getting dry like this!" Mother stared at the row of soup pots that numbered more than a dozen. "Normally this is because the nyiramine is uneven," the mother cerocos with annoyance.

"That's probably because of the hot rain, ma'am," I said.

"Sok knows you. If you don't know, don't be so smart! It looks more stupid. You don't have a college education, you know the flower problem. The science isn't there." Again she mocked me, hurt my feelings.

I don't know how long I'll be able to survive here. Just because I have an obligation to respect my mother, I choose to be silent and not respond to her words. If not, I have been in revolt for a long time to maintain my pride so as not to be trampled.

I feel unappreciated in this house. I want to get out of here, I'm not at home. I want to leave this house for a moment.

Then, suddenly after I finished cleaning the house Mas Darwin called Yuk Selvi and asked him to come to the house to accompany mother. Darwin wanted to take me somewhere.

"Prepare! I want to take you away" said Mas Darwin, making my heart so happy. I'm really tired of this house. Do Mas Darwin like a cool breeze in the desert to me.

I hurried to get ready, wearing my best clothes. This is the first time Darwin has asked me to leave. For me it's like dating because we were married without going out. We never walked alone, just this time.

"Where are we going, Mom?" ask me when I'm in the car.

"You'll find out later." That's all I heard from Mas Darwin's lips. The rest he chose to be quiet along the way.

I tried to get her to talk, but she always just returned with a small smile. He didn't say anything to respond to my words. I finally fell asleep and fell asleep.

"Rania, we're here." Darwin woke me up.

I got out of the car and realized that we were in the parking lot of a hotel. "It's a hotel." I muttered.

"Yes" said Darwin. "Let's go in!"

I walked after Mas Darwin into the hotel. He did not go to the receptionist, he went straight up the stairs to the room on the 2nd floor.

'Did Darwin book a room at this hotel?' my thinking.

Then, another question came to my mind, 'Did he plan to honeymoon with me at this hotel?' Then, suddenly a nervous feeling enveloped me.

I kept following him until his footsteps came to a halt in front of a door. He looked at me and I immediately lowered my gaze in nervousness. He knocked on that door.

"Tokay! Geck! Geck!"

'He knocked on the door, ' my mind was a little surprised. 'That means there's someone in that room.'

Soon a very young man appeared, probably my age or even younger. He opened the door of the room. 'Areally who is this guy?' my thinking.

My astonishment grew even more so when I saw that there was an old man in the room. Darwin invited me into the room. I still hesitate to enter, but Mas Darwin invited me many times.

"Dad?" Without even knowing it, the word just came from my lips.

Darwin looked at it. He looked at me and said, "Rania, this is my father. Greet him!"

I watched the man. He was a handsome old man, similar to Mas Darwin. I also shook his hand, although in my heart I still felt confused.

"Buck...." I opened my voice. "Mom said dad was dead. Our wedding day father was also absent. What exactly is going on?"

"This is my father, Rania. He is alive" replied Darwin.

"Marina, my ex-wife thought I was dead a long time ago" said the old man.

"Why?" I spontaneously asked.

"Because I betrayed him. He hated me, didn't want to see me anymore, and thought I was dead" replied Mas Darwin's father.

"This is my oldest son, from my second wife. He's your brother Darwin, his name is Reza." Darwin's father pointed to the young man who opened the door for us earlier.

I was silent to the words of Mas Darwin's father. I really don't think his father is alive. All were neatly covered with no gaps, as if my mother-in-law was a widow left for dead. Apparently not, she's a widow because her husband remarried.

"I came back to this town because I heard you were married, Darwin. Although not invited, as a father I want to give my blessing to my son. Therefore, I came here" said Mas Darwin's father.

"What's your name, son?" askinya.

"Rania," I replied.

"You're a sweet girl" he said. "Whatever happens you must defend your husband!" He looked at me inside.

"Maybe you can learn a little from my household. Decades ago I fell deeply in love with Marina, I married her. I felt like I was the luckiest man in the world. She's the perfect woman. She's smart multi-talented, she's beautiful, she's good at cooking, she's great at taking care of children, she's smart at taking care of herself, she's independent, her career is good, she can almost be everything."

I frowned. "Then, why did you marry another woman?" my many.

She smiles. "Convenience" he answered.

"The man needs comfort. That's what I can't get from Marina. Throughout my marriage I was always depressed. Because, he is too perfect.he always feels he is the best everything. It was hard for him to be able to appreciate others."

I'm speechless. You can't appreciate me, just like Dad said. He always thinks his work is the best, the best.

"Every day I live with stress. Then, I met Nadia, Reza's mother. He's just an ordinary tailor. At that time she was not too young anymore, she was a childless widow. He lost far when compared to Marina. He is nothing, his education is just finished Elementary School. She's not pretty, but pretty sweet to look at. Marina and Nadia are at a very far level. But, I don't know why I feel comfort from Nadia. He's so patient. I became infatuated with her and married her as a second wife."

"I realized at that time I was a selfish man who was not grateful. I already have a whole family. I have three children, a perfect wife, a perfect life. But, my mind is depressed. That's what got me remarried secretly behind Marina."

"Until it's all finally revealed. Marina knows I'm daring for her. I was working as a PNS in this town. Marina made a report that I remarried so I was fired. He divorced me. I, who has no job here, decided to go back to Nadia's hometown in Lampung. We started our business there and have lived there until now."
