MY HUSBAND STROKED BUT DID NOT DIE
Chapter 68 IS LIKE GETTING A DURIAN COLLAPSED

As he promised this morning, this afternoon Mas Teguh invited me to go to the saung. Actually this saung is located not far from my in-laws house.

This saung also belongs to the Arka mas family. It is located on the outskirts of the village, near the rice field area. The atmosphere is quieter, because rarely people pass there.

We're just going there on foot. The afternoon air and the sun began to run westward, making the weather no longer hot.

Cool, though not as cool as the mountains. We continued walking down the village road. Something I've never done with an Arka mas.

Because before getting sick, Arka's a busy man. He's so crazy at work. Until there is almost no time to just walk to enjoy the scenery in the village.

Fifteen minutes into the walk, we were in the saung. A place I think is beautiful. The sun is starting to lean west, very clearly visible from here.

The color of his waist really stupefied me. For a long time I did not enjoy nature with all its beauty.

Last time I saw him was when we went to Jogja. That's just for a second. After that, Mas Arka was busy again with his work and I just stayed home.

"That's a beautiful sight, Mas." I said in amazement.

"Yes, here if it doesn't rain, the view is very beautiful. It was even more beautiful after the rain. There will be a rainbow that will be clearly visible from here" explained Mas Teguh.

"Mas Tertuh often here?" my many.

"Yes. Especially after my wife died. I often enjoy my solitude here. Looking at the orange sky. Sometimes even until night. Enjoy the dim moonlight. Enjoying the beauty of the stars" replied Mas Teguh.

He took a sitting position at the end of the saung. I sat down next to him, looking straight ahead. The horizon boundary.

"Arka's never brought you here?" ask me Teguh. I'm shaking.

"Maybe because he is too busy with his work" said Mas Teguh. I'm nodding.

"I used to be, Dek. When my wife was still there, still accompanying me, I was too busy with my work. For classical reasons, to make the wife happy. Until I forget these two moments like this. Like when we were dating."

"Beautiful moments just disappear in my selfishness. I pay more for my job than my wife. I know my job better than my wife."

"The regret came when he was gone forever. I regret that we have no more memories. No special moments. We don't have the time we both spend."

"Almost all my time is up for my work. Even in the moments of both, my wife will succumb if there is business. I'm more concerned with my job than my wife."

"Sorry, Deck. I'm just melow like this. I am only sorry for my stupidity. Who has wasted the presence of a man who has always been faithful to accompany me. Who was so patient in my selfishness."

He just kept staring ahead. It was as if his gaze could break through the boundary of that horizon.

"Everything has passed. There's nothing more to regret" I said. Mas Teguh just nodded.

"Okay, I'll start talking about important things like I promised you this morning." He began with his seriousness. I also try to listen seriously.

"So, Deck. Your in-laws left a lot of treasure here. From the moment I began to grow up, your father-in-law entrusted me to manage it. Because Arka as the only child prefers her own career."

I scrunched my forehead. What the hell is this?

"I've been managing all that for a long time, Dek. Not tired or bored. But I also want to focus on myself. On my own work. I also do not want any talk from others, if I am considered to want to master all the treasures of your in-laws."

" People will know the condition of Arka who is unable to work. Can't do anything. That's why I leave everything to you, Dek" said Mas Teguh.

"Mas, should everything remain firmly mas Teguh who holds. Until someday Arka healthy mas back and can work again. If it were me, I wouldn't have the ability to manage it. I don't have time either. Because I'm waiting for the birth of my son, Mas." I replied.

He looked at me sharply. As if asking for certainty. I nodded, knowing his doubts.

"Well if that's what you want, Dek. I'll keep managing it until Arka's healthy again. You guys stay in that house. Later all your needs, I will handle it. Including also finding a new nurse for Arka."

"Because you can't do it alone. Pity you, your baby and even Arka herself. Count how much you need per month. I'll transfer it as you need."

"That's all from the leftover money from your in-laws' legacy. You don't have to hesitate to ask me. Because it's all your rights. Right Ark."

"I was just assigned to run the business. Execute the trust of your in-laws. May it be a blessing to all." explained Teguh.

"Later every month I will send her financial statements. And do not be surprised also, if in the financial statements, there will be expenses for zakat that exceed the Islamic count." explained Mas Teguh again.

"meaning?" my question is not to understand.

"That is, your in-laws really like to give sodaqoh or even help to the poor people in the area. And that can be a lot. But not every month is as much. It depends on what it looks like".

"I never wanted to ask him or stop him. Let all be a reward to them. That's also one of the reasons why people here are so kind to your family-in-law. Because your in-laws are also very good people. You can feel it, right?" ask me Teguh.

I'm nodding. Yes, all the residents here are very kind to us. Very caring for my family-in-law.

Even now, when my in-laws are gone, they are still very good. All their needs are ready.

Starting from food, drinks and places they prepared by taking royong.

"Mas, I hope later spending to share it is not lost, huh? Let it stay. Let it be sodaqoh his fingers my father and mother-in-law." I said.

"God willing, I will not lose it. Let it be a blessing to everything. Moreover, it has been with your permission, as their successor" said Mas Teguh.

"Tarta will not be taken away, Mas. If sodaqoh jariyah that will accompany our steps even though already in the afterlife. Isn't that right, Mas?"

"Your printer, Dek" said Mas Teguh while ruining my hair.

"Oh sorry, Dek" said Mas Teguh. Maybe he thinks I'm his real sister.

But I don't refuse to have a sister like Mas Teguh. Good and trust. He was open about my in-laws' possessions that even I never knew.

Now that my two in-laws are gone, he leaves it all to me. I'm so grateful, like getting a durian crumbling.
