My House of Resilience
Chapter 44. Finale

Anyone in this world who has a baby should look very happy. Not for Ari and Marlena. These family days were accompanied by a constant commotion. Starting from child affairs, daily shopping, milk needs, and not to mention other family needs.

Ari has been trying to find a job. No one wants to accept him. More and more days, the rest of the money he has is getting thin. In fact, every day Marlena's job just nags non-stop. Like this morning when Ari asked his wife for coffee.

"Mar, make coffee, dong!" yell Ari.

During unemployment, Ari became a different person. He is ruling more and more often. Sometimes anger is unclear. The point is that Ari and Marlena's marriage relationship is no longer healthy.

"Mas! I told you how many times you don't scream! Arzan can cry, Mas!" reply Marlena out of annoyance.

Yes, the baby boy's name is Arzan Pratama. Arzan means useful man. She hoped that her son would be much more useful than her husband.

Marlena went to the kitchen to prepare a cup of coffee. If not made, Ari will increasingly nagging uncontrollably. Fortunately, Ari did not play a hand. It only took about five to ten minutes for the coffee to be served in front of her husband.

"It's Mas. Next time don't scream! If it continues like that, I swear that you will not be able to scream again" threatened Marlena.

"You're starting to threaten?"

"No, Mas. Oh yes, instead of staying home, search for a job! Money is running low. Arzan is not yet in the aqiqah. You are yes, my. Mbok is well responsible. I'm tired of screaming every day, but you never know!"

It's always been like that. There is no word of peace in the house of Marlena who is currently on the edge of the horn. If they can't pay the debt, then be prepared to get out of the house.

Looks like luck is siding with Ari. After his wife entered, from afar it was seen someone coming with people he knew as well. Yes, Tanti came with Hardiman to meet Ari.

"Dec Tanti, Father!" greet Ari. Although divorced, but Ari always called his ex-wife with the call Dek.

"Assalamualaikum, Mom. How are you?" hello Tanti.

It looks more beautiful, fresh, and attractive. Is this called widow charm? When he was with her, even Tanti was very unkempt.

"Vaalaikumsalam, Deck. Please enter!"

Ari couldn't possibly let her ex-wife and in-laws be outside. Maybe something important will be told to him.

"Thank you" replied Tanti and Hardiman.

"Mar, Mar, Mar, come here!" Again Ari shouted so that Marlena came and then angry.

"There's nothing else, anyway? You can't calm me down one bit!" shout Marlena. She just realized that in the living room there was her husband's ex-wife. "What's up here?"

"Mar, make a drink first!" pinta Ari gently.

"No need, Ma'am. I'm only here for a moment, really," said Tanti.

"Good then" said Marlena crested.

"So this is it, Mas. Your mom and dad came home today. Brand asked for a ration of money from the house I still occupy."

"The house was built on my family's property" Hardiman said.

"Well, I've decided to sell the house because the one with full rights to the house is me. While I-i"

"You should share it with my husband!" Marlena cuts Tanti's speech.

"Mar, listen up!" sentak Ari's.

"So, we came here to give 50 million to Mas Ari. That's also I agreed with my father. Isn't that right, sir?" firmly Tanti.

The smile on Marlena and Ari's face. Actually he did not want to ask for the money, but how else. They need money too.

"Is this not mostly, sir?" ask Ari to Hardiman.

"No. That's more than enough. At least after this Tanti will get married and live quietly." Hardiman's expectations were high for the marriage of his two daughters.

To be honest Ari felt happy and sad at once when he received the money given by his ex-wife. 50 Million dollars will be used to pay debts to loan sharks. The rest was used for his son's aqiqah. But back to the money itself. The needs of life more and more days then Ari must try to think about his future. Maybe from the rest of the money can be used to open a business with his wife.

...❤️❤️❤️...

A few days after giving money to her ex-husband, today Tanti will marry her future husband, Abbas. She was as beautiful as possible in her room.

Both of his adopted sons were very happy. Because his new father is really royal so make them feel at home. Their families were brought to witness the marriage of the woman who had raised her children and made them extraordinary people.

"Mom, don't forget to invite Teguh and Indra's parents, right?" ask Tanti when she is in her room.

"No, Nduk. Your father asked people to pick him up. Worry not! They'll come safely here. Firm and Indra would be happy."

"Some happy too, Mom. Finally getting married to Abbas."

Sarinah was happy too. Although today the event is only held simply, but it does not reduce its existence as a very sacred marriage. Sarinah also prepared a banquet for the guests. There are small decorations for just doing a photo session.

As for the place of marriage contract, Tanti chose a living room decorated in such a way that it looks very beautiful. As per the agreement KUA will come around eight in the morning.

Tanti occasionally scold. With a simple makeup but beautiful look, Tanti is ready to wade through a new life with Abbas.

Everyone gathered in the living room. Just waiting for Tanti's presence.

"How, Sir? Can the show start?" ask the ruler to Hardiman.

"Wait a minute! I'll call my son first."

Hardiman came in for a second. After that he returned with Tanti who already looked beautiful. I am welcome to sit next to Abbas.

"Alright, die we start the show!" penghulu.

Hardiman shook Abbas's hand and began his show. "I marry and marry you Ahmad Abbas bin Ahmad with my son named Tanti Arantika bint Hardiman with a dowry of one million Rupiah and 10 grams of gold paid, cash!"

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Tanti Arantika bint Hardiman with the dowry paid, cash!" With just one breath, Abbas finished his mistress.

"How's witness?"

"Well!"

"Well!"

"Well!"

"Goddessa ...."

After that, a prayer is read for a couple to always be blessed at every step of his life. Today is a new chapter for Tanti and Abbas.

After the marriage contract, several families took photos together to make new memories of the lives of Tanti and Abbas. In addition, they also enjoy a meal that has been prepared by Tanti's extended family.

Tanti who has been having difficulties in her life has gotten a new man. Hopefully he can make Tanti happy in the future.

"Thank you for accepting me as your husband" Abbas said.

"I'm also grateful to you, Mom. You can accept my shortcomings and want to guide me to be better. Of course not only will live with me, but with Indra and Teguh."

It was very cool to hear the greatness of Abbas who would accept Tanti's condition and accept his adopted son well. Abbas also promised him to always make Tanti happy and would not bother him in the least.

Sometimes the bitter taste that Tanti has to experience during her life will end sweetly. However, it takes a heart, soul, and mind that is always patient in living life.
