SUFFERING AN EMPTY SON-IN-LAW
Can't move on

Since her divorce from Hilwa, Reno's life now looks sad at first glance. How not, he who usually always looks handsome with his dashing stature and neat appearance. But look at him now. Her thin body, as well as the hairdo she let lengthen.

"Ren, you're the reason. Stefani is not taking care of you. To the extent that your life looks miserable like that." said Ms. Tika. Reno is currently visiting her parents' house.

"Maybe Stefani was busy taking care of her baby this time, Mom, so it's not perfect to take care of her husband." Anita said. Stefani has given birth and their baby is a boy. "Can't do it donk. I also ngalamin have a baby, but I can take care of your father as well." ketus Bu Tika said.

"Yes maybe Stefani is different Mom. Let alone mengurusin Reno, he just disheveled rich that. He's used to nothing at all to serve Ma'am. So at this time he is upset if he has to take care of the baby alone." said Anita. While Reno just sat there pensively, I don't know what he was thinking at the moment.

"It seems you chose the wrong wife deh Ren, the proof is that Stefani is not able to take care of you and your baby." murmured Ms. Tika. "Mom, mom. Stefani is also the mother's choice, why now even turn on Reno anyway." Anita who always spoke her mother's words.

"You can't shut up Anita. I'm talking to Reno. Why the hell is Ren, than just shut up. I talked about it too." protested Bu Tika.

"Ren, Reno!" shouted Bu Tika who had begun to run out of patience. "You're why Ren, what you've been thinking all along. You are like the undead, always silent and daydreaming is not clear." said Bu Tika.

"I miss Hilwa Bu, hiks." said Reno lirih. He was no longer able to stem the longing in his heart that was increasingly mountainous.

Deg, of course Bu Tika and Anita are shocked to hear Reno's words. "Ren, are you unconscious. You have no right to think about it. Hilwa is no longer your wife." said Anita. While Bu Tika just kept silent. He was really surprised, not expecting that his son still missed his ex-wife so much.

"I've been really tormented all this time. I miss him, I still love him so much. Very Mbak. Please help me." said Reno. "Ren, relax! You already have Stefani and you already have a child with her. Why are you still thinking about the woman who has clearly gone far away from you." said Ms. Tika growled.

"Mom! what's my fault, if I can't lose my love for him. This is all because of you, you who pushed me to separate from Hilwa. I can't live without it, I'm suffering" Reno said hysterically.

"Don't be like this Ren. You make mother sad, forgive mother." said Bu Tika embrace her son's body. Anita was unable to resist the sadness of seeing the younger brother who had always been a pride in his family, now looked miserable like this.

"Can I go back to him, Mom? is there any way that Hilwa would come back to me. If anything please say." pinta Reno. Bu Tika and Anita just shook their heads, they were confused as to what to answer. Because they were not sure, Hilwa wanted to be part of their family again.

"Yes Ren, relax. We'll find a way to get you back with Hilwa. I'm sure now Hilwa is grieving for your separation" said Ms. Tika comforted.

"Surely Mom, I want to bless us back. If Hilwa is willing to accept me again?" asked Reno to look at her mother. "Yes son. I will always support whatever makes you happy. That's for sure." said Miss Tika sure. And then Reno can calm herself down. He rubbed his face slowly and the tears that had just seeped on his cheeks.

But it just calmed down. Stefani came in a very hasty manner. "Mom, Miss Anita look at this!" exciting Stefani. They all turned to look, "what's the matter Stefani, why are you in such a hurry?" ask Bu Tika curious.

"Darling, are you here? instead of going straight home help take care of our children. You went straight to your mother's house." said Stefani growled. Because since then she's been waiting for her husband to come home from work, uh even at her mother's house.

Stefani only snorted at the defense from her mother-in-law. Always like that, his son should not be reprimanded at all. Basic son mami. grumbled Stefani in the heart.

"Here, let's see. Is this really Hilwa?" ask Stefani who shows me the magazines she sees every day. Hearing the name Hilwa of course Reno immediately enthusiastic and snatch the magazine held by his wife. For a moment he stared fixedly, "is this really Hilwa? why is she so beautiful." said Reno. Stefani doesn't seem to like what her husband says.

"Where, Ma'am look!" Anita was no less curious. He just silently looked at the photo of someone in the magazine. "This is right Hilwa. This is the name alone, clearly stated here." said Anita ascertained and pointed to the name of Hilwa listed there. "Well, she's a model now. Mbak really did not expect." added Anita who made everyone surprised.

While Bu Tika could not respond to anything. Her lips were confused to talk about her surprise. He really did not expect, his former daughter-in-law now, could be transformed into someone different. In the photo, Hilwa is posing like a model, using modern Muslim clothing and appearing to smile.

Ms. Tika sat in her chair limply. He thought Hilwa was like Reno who was falling apart after her divorce. But in fact he was shining, and it was impossible to go back to this pitiful son.

Anita and Reno do not see her mother who is still pensive, they are busy looking at a photo of Hilwa that they think is very pangling. "I think I was wrong to show them this magazine. They look amazed that way. Stupid me!" stefani's inner self cursed her stupidity.

"What's this?" ask Mr. Dedi. He just came from outside the house. "It's well, Hilwa is becoming a model now." said Anita showing a picture of Hilwa. "Right, let me see." Dedi enthusiastically approached them. He also silently stared at the picture of his former daughter-in-law. "Thank God it turns out Indra's words are true. Now Hilwa does look happy." he said lirih.

"What did father mean. What does this have to do with Indra? and how did he know about Hilwa's current state?" anita asked enthusiastically, representing the questions of everyone who was there.

"Hilwa was invited by Andre to work at his mother's boutique. And now he lives in Andre's parents' house. But you do not expect, if Hilwa shines more than father's expectations." replied Mr. Dedi smiling sumringah.

"What?! Hilwa lives at Andre's parents' house? how could. Do they meet often?" asked Reno unconsciously. "Yes clear. There's no way Andre wouldn't live in his parents' house unless he had his own place to live." Anita said.

Reno's hand squeezes Hilwa's picture. "I won't let any men get close to Hilwa. Because he must be mine again." muttered Reno but it can still be heard by everyone.

Of course everyone was surprised, why did Reno have to say that. "That's impossible for Ren, because Hilwa is already very dear to Andre's family. And it looks like they really want Hilwa to be the daughter-in-law of the family." said Mr. Dedi.

"No way dad. Hilwa girl who has a deficiency. They don't seem to know that fact. If they knew, there was no way Hilwa could be accepted into their family." protested Bu Tika who had been silent since then.

"Not everyone is like us Mom. Who is concerned about something like that. Moreover, they are rich, of course it is not difficult to do treatment so that Hilwa can have children." said Anita.

Reno suddenly left from before them, with a reddened face.
