The Curse of Love
Part 9 Mother's Advice And Requests
I sat next to Mom and Sofwan sat in front of us.
"Mom, before Sofwan's mother and father came to visit here, Sofwan first wanted to convey and express what was in Sofwan's heart and mind, Mom."
I saw him quiet for a moment and took a breath. There was a nervousness in his eyes.
"Please calm Sofwan...I said, I'm not gonna bite you, let alone eat and chew you."
"More...Don't make it more tense, dong? Mom snorted at me."
I tried to keep my smile could not bear to see Sofwan mas nervous not because so.
"Looky ma'am...Actually Sofwan is confused where to start."
"just point...Sofwan wants to propose to Nia to be Sofwan's life partner."
Not playing, without further ado he's to the point at the core of the problem.
"What made you think of proposing to your son, son Sofwan?"
"Son Sofwan will know, Nia is the one who is jutek if you talk like cleplas ceplos."
"Fear later, there are words Nia can make you hurt."
"Ah...No ma'am...Sofwan was already used to Nia's attitude and nature."
"But what Sofwan knows, Nia is a kind, understanding, honest and impassioned woman."
"Son Sofwan, getting married is not only to unite two hearts, but also to unite two families."
"And also nak Sofwan must be ready to be born and inner."
"Why did my mom say that? Because you will be the one to guide your family, you will be the priest."
"If your wife makes a mistake, lead her to fix it."
"Don't say harsh words to your wife and children, because they are your responsibility."
"The two of you should be able to have each other and complement each other. Appreciate your partner, so that you can last in the household."
"God willing will Sofwan remember all the mother's advice."
"Dear her, Sofwan, because other than mom, Nia doesn't have anyone anymore."
"The only sister she has, Sania's sister has forgotten us since she married a boy from a rich family. And I'm assuming that Mother and Sania are no longer his family."
"Of course Sofwan will love Nia, take care of her and protect her mom."
"Thank you, Sofwan, I'm glad to hear that."
"Mom knows, you love Nia in your own way and vice versa with Nia "
"Mom allowed you to propose to mother's daughter, son Sofwan."
"Dead later how your family responds son."
"Thank you ma'am, if you've accepted Sofwan as the future mother-in-law."
Mas Sofwan got up and shuffled to sit next to his mother.
"Soaring...Narrow knows...Make it full of places."
"Astaghfirullah's...This guy really is..There are no insaf-insaf...Just regained consciousness for a moment, now it's starting again nosy."
I shifted my seat, letting her sit next to my mom.
If not the prospective husband, I've already shoved his head wearing these sandals.
His mother's hand reached him and he endured it and kissed him.
I saw my mother's eyes glazed, between joy and happiness.
"Remember Nia, Sofwan...Marriage is to unite two hearts."
"Mutuize not only when happy, but also when difficult."
"Whatever your family's disgrace may be, don't tell others once."
"Because sometimes that third party comes into our lives, it makes things worse than it does it."
"If you two have a problem, solve it without involving any party first."
"You are also Nia. As a wife obey your husband."
"It's always beside him, supporting him no matter how bad he gets."
"For this is your duty, and your duty as a wife is to serve her husband."
It was good to have the blessing of my mother. And now we're just waiting for Sofwan's parents' blessing.
May they look ahead and act as wise as mother.
"More...Sit here, son, near me."
After Sofwan came home this afternoon, I went back alone with my mother at home.
"Son, listen to mother's advice, from now on you must learn to control yourself.
"Don't get carried away with emotions, don't like to be selfish."
"Did you see?" Decades of mother marriage to your father we never fought. Until finally your father breathed his last."
"Why is that? We both try to understand and understand each other. That's the whole point of what mom said this afternoon to you and Sofwan."
"If your husband is being carried away by emotions, you should not be stirred by emotions, and vice versa."
"One must give in, so that the house will never make a fuss."
"In addition to not feeling good to the neighbors, windfall is also reluctant to come to our households."
"Nggeh...All of my advice is to follow Nia."
Indeed, as I remember, throughout the marriage of mother and father, from me and my brother were young until we grew up, I never heard a single mother and father quarrel.
If the mother is wrong then the father will advise her gently. There was never the slightest bit of clashing in his every word.
Likewise, you will be honored to apologize to your mother if what she did was wrong.
Mother is a wise woman, gentle and also tough.
The shadow of the mother's affection to take care of the father when he was sick until the father breathed his last.
Not a single sentence of complaint came out from his lips.
With a pension that is not much. Although mother also had to be thrown off looking for additional work to support me and my brother.
Until finally after my father died and my brother married a rich husband and went to follow his family even now we no longer hear.
I never heard a single complain about my sister. Mom just said "let her follow her heart now, hopefully one day she'll realize she still has a mother and sister."
"Mom, will Sofwan's family accept Nia, ma'am?"
"Sometimes Nia is scared of mom."
"It's been..Bad thoughts first about your future husband's family."
"You pray, may they accept your presence in their midst."
"But the mother is grateful to God, in this old mother's age, the mother is still given the opportunity to see the mother's child get married."
I saw my mother shed tears. Because I knew when my sister got married, she didn't attend the wedding.
Because my sister chose to elope because she was against their marriage.
Mom knew my sister's husband still had a legitimate wife when they decided to live together.
It's still clear in my memory when sister Della was openly against mom.
"Mom...Della loves Irwan. And we're getting married."
"Della doesn't care if you agree or don't agree with our marriage."
"We're going to stay married, with or without Mom's blessing."
"But you know Della, Irwan is still the legal husband of another woman."
"If you stay married, it means you can take something that is not yours."
"Remember Della...Every action we do, will get the right reward."
"Good deeds will be rewarded, but evil deeds will be rewarded."
"What you have forcibly taken today, one day it will be taken by others."
"So mom curses Della ma'am?"
"Mom doesn't like to see Della happy?"
"Mother doesn't swear to you, Della, no mother on earth would ever see her child unhappy."
'All mothers want to see their children live happily, but this is not the way, Della!"
"Your happiness now is the result of seizing happiness from others."
"That means you dance on the suffering of others."
"Don't you have a little heart, try to imagine if you were the one who is now in the position of the woman at this time."
"How do you feel, Della?? Isn't there a little bit of mercy in your heart?"
"Della doesn't care what she says, Della wants to find her own way of life."
It was the last day I saw my brother in this house, until now our relationship was cut off.
