The mother-in-law had just arrived at the hospital and she saw Reynaldi sitting pensively in the front seat of Viona's room. Currently Viona has been transferred to the 3rd class inpatient room. For a time, Viona had to be hospitalized.
"Rey, how's Viona doing now?" ask the mother-in-law.
"Alhamdulillah, now it has begun to improve mah. But doctors have not allowed Viona to go home. He still had to stay in the hospital, for a few days. The doctor will make an observation. If the doctor thinks he can go home, the new doctor will allow Viona to go home" explained Reynaldi.
The mother-in-law, asked again more clearly about what happened to the child.
"Eat him, you were doing husband and wife relationship slowly. After all, the sick wife is still being beaten," the mother-in-law's cerocos.
Reynaldi seemed speechless, he admitted his mistake. If she hadn't gone on that day, maybe Viona wouldn't have gone to the hospital.
Reynaldi tried to defend himself, he didn't want to be blamed like this. Because all this is not his fault entirely. Reynaldi said that Viona did not say that she had cervical cancer. Reynaldi won't be that close. He raised his sick wife.
Supposedly, Viona could ban it. Because Viona must have known, women who have the disease are forbidden to have sex again. Because just now, Reynaldi was explained like that. Finally, the mother-in-law understood. Because it's his son's fault too. Who still wanted to cover her illness from her husband, and still followed her husband's desire to make love.
"Pity the fate of Viona. Her marriage always ended in suffering" said the mother-in-law.
Reynaldi was speechless. He looks just silent. He doesn't know what to do, he doesn't have the strength.
"She needs your support, to always be alive" the mother-in-law asked.
"Yes, Ma. Honestly, Reynaldi was confused. Rey wants to go home too. At my own home, no one is looking after me. I was forced to leave her alone at home, having to take Viona to the hospital. Mama is now paralyzed unable to get out of bed. He's just lying weakly in bed, Rey has to take care of it. Rey tipped Viona with Mama first huh. Rey's advice if Viona comes home later, Viona should stay at Mama's house first. Let him take care of it, and not be tired" Reynaldi said.
The mother-in-law stared at Reynaldi. He knows, it must feel very dizzy to be in Reynaldi's position.
"It's there if you want to go home! Let Viona Mama take care of it, so you can rest first. Indeed, there is a point also said you. But, Mama please be with you. Please don't divorce Viona, pity her! He must be very down, if you leave him. He needs your support" said the mother, but he could not demand much of his daughter-in-law.
"Come on ma, I can't say anything at the moment. My head feels like it's about to break. One problem has not been solved, but a new problem has arisen. Maybe God is angry with me and Viona" said Reynaldi.
Reynaldi began to tell what they had done to his ex-wife first. Reynaldi also shared his regrets. In the past, he had everything. God really took everything.
"I realized that what I did with Viona was wrong. Throw out all the ways to commit adultery. After we got married, God did not give us any children. My sustenance is also drag, we have to feel at the lowest point" explained Reynaldi.
"I beg you Mama, please remind Vi to keep asking Allah for forgiveness. I'll do it like that too. We have been negligent as Muslims, we have never prayed" said Reynaldi, the mother-in-law nodding her head.
Reynaldi came home, because he was worried about his mother. By riding an online motorcycle taxi, Reynaldi finally reached home. The house was very quiet, because it was very late.
Reynaldi went straight to his room. How surprised he was, when he saw the unconscious mother.
"Ma, wake up Ma! Wake up! Don't leave Reynaldi!" Reynaldi tried to wake her. He looks panicked. Reynaldi tried to find wind oil, for he stuck it on his nose.
Reynaldi kept a close eye on Mama's pulse. She was afraid that her mother would leave her. Reynaldi was able to breathe a sigh of relief, as he watched Mama Ratih slowly open her eyes.
"Thank God my mom was conscious. Rey was so scared, afraid that my mom would leave Rey. Actually, Mama why? Kok Mama until fainted like that," said Mama Ratih.
"Rey, don't leave Mama again. Mama scared. Hiks .. hiks .. hiks," said Mama Ratih accompanied by sobs.
"Yes Ma, sorry Rey! Honestly, a situation like this makes Rey feel confused about what to do. Viona has cervical cancer, so she had bleeding last night during sex with Rey. He didn't tell me he was sick. If I had known, I wouldn't have fucked him. The doctor explained to me that I can't have sex with him anymore. I can't have children with her anymore" Reynaldi explained.
"Yes, you just divorce a useless wife like that. So just add to your burden, only add to your hardship. Mama regrets, telling you to marry her. Mama guess, she's the woman who suits you," Mama Ratih's cerocos.
"Rey's confused. The doctor said he couldn't be stressed, that if Rey divorced he would be stressed. When he needed someone who always supported him, Reynaldi left him" explained Reynaldi.
"If you're divorced from him, he's not your responsibility and concern anymore. It's up to him to die fast or survive. Yesterday you have to keep your maleness desire, which you will be impotent. You also need a child. Your old son doesn't remember you at all. He is heavier to his mother" Mama Ratih said.
Reynaldi felt dislike, when he heard the mother demonize the child. Since all this is purely his fault, in this case Khanza is not wrong.
"It's karma for me. Because I've wasted Nisa and Khanza. Until I had to lose everything" said Reynaldi lirih. There was regret on Reynaldi's face.
"not karma. But Nisa did deliberately make you suffer. Who told him to report you to your leader, so you can't support your children" said Mama Ratih.
"Why has Mama never changed and realized the mistake we made to Nisa and Khanza? Mama always blamed Nisa in this case. Didn't you realize why God made you have to experience this way" Reynaldi said.
"Mama like this because Viona is lazy to brush the bathroom, so it falls. Not because Mama got karma," said Mama Ratih defending himself.
