Marriage is a sacred bond that begins with an oath before God, with the aim of obtaining sakinah, mawaddah and rahmah. Everyone who is married wants happiness. When the expected happiness is not found, some people end up choosing to end it. The love that once existed faded, all the affection that ever existed just vanished. Not infrequently the fruit of their love must bear its burden.
Tarissa and Mahardika both want child custody to fall into their hands. As Tarissa once revealed, for him the treasure is not important, the important thing is Love and Rafki are in his arms. Surely Andre and Lani as legal counsel are each trying to win the wishes of his clients. Not only ’fight’ in court, the matter carried over all the way home.
”What the hell did Mas consider that Love and Rafki should fall into the hands of Mahardika? ” asked Lani full of emotion when she arrived home, having previously been in the car keeping quiet.
Andre who was removing his tie did not reply.
”Mas, Lani nanya nih. Answered dong..”.
”Is everything not enough? It was in court already. ” Andre answers accordingly. This makes Lani more emotional.
”Love and Rafki were small, Mas. Still need her mother's love. For children their age is more precisely nurtured by their mother. A mother better understands the needs of her children, because it is already her nature. ”
”Child also needs the affection of his father. ”
”Yes, but a mother will be better at educating than a father. ”
”Who said? The proof is that many children become delinquents, so drug users, like
brawl. They are still in the care of their mother. It means you're not always right
in educating, right? ”
”That's another question. ”
Andre shakes. ” It's the same. Are you also sure when Cinta and Rafki with their mother will be good children? You see dong, Tarissa business almost bankrupt, in terms of material only children will lack. ”
”Please dear mom can not be compared with the material, Mas. ”
”So also with father's affection. Now Love and Rafki are living with their father and they seem to be happy. ”
”That's Mas said. Not their word. Of course, the Mahardika wins. But there are things that a child will not get from a father, it will only be obtained from his mother. ”
”You're sure Tarissa's a good mother? He had a dark lover, while still
with her husband alone she dared to play with other men. ”
”And is Mas also sure Mahardika is a good father? He also has a mistress. It may be true, Tarissa started it all but it was also because Mahardika who never paid attention to it, did not forgive it and liked to be rude. Mahardika often beat his wife. Is that a father who
okey? ”
”But not necessarily a wife reciprocates her husband's treatment with cheating? ”
Lani bobbing head. ” Looks like Mas is insistent because there is personal egoism. Egoism of a man who does not want to be denigrated by women. ” said Lani sharply.
Andre looked at his wife no less sharply. ”What do you mean? ”
Lani shrugs her shoulders. ” Well..because a man would feel humiliated when he heard there was a woman who cheated on her husband. ”
”Emang you are not? ”
”Ngak. Lani does want Love and Rafki to be with her mother for their own good. ”
Andre sneers. ”I see Mahardika is also a good father. He meets all the needs of his children, even willing to provide special time for his children even though he himself is busy. ”
”If even for example they need the love of a mother can be found a new mother." continued Andre lightly.
Lani. ” Mas said what? New mom? Very easy yes..”
”Why? You want to say that the love of stepmothers will be different from the affection of biological mothers. ”
”It's clear! Lani half screamed, to the point that she was shocked by her own voice. ”Means that if I die or something happens with our marriage Mas will snatch the children from me and get married again soon, right? ” Lani's eyes feel hot.
Andre laughed a little. ”Which child? Don't be a child, not pregnant yet. ”
Lani jerks. They have been married for several months, Lani is not pregnant either. Lani is offended, she goes into the bathroom and cries inside.
Andre istighfar, he realized that his remarks just now had offended Lani.
”Lani! Open the door dong...you cry inside? ” Andre knocking on bathroom door.
Lani's crying is getting louder.
”Mas apologise. That meant joking. ”
Andre scratched his head. Lani lambs, dang! He is not good at persuading.
”This is so bad anyway? ”
Lani is not flinching.
”Lani darling..exit dong. I want Ashar..”.
Finally, Lani came out with a wet face because of the water.
Andre smiles. ”Well..gitu dong. ”
Lani did not comment on Andre's words she immediately went to the closet and issued a meeting for Ashar Prayer. Andre approached Lani and tried to grab her hand but Lani brushed him off.
”I want to pray Mas. We should also go to the mosque, Adzan already. ”
”Mas do not need to go to the mosque, we congregate at home. ”
”Then I go to the mosque. ” said Lani ketus.
”Lho, it's upside down. ”
Lani grunting.
”Yes already, Mas to the mosque first yes. ”
Lani did not answer even nodding not. Andre took a deep breath and left his wife. Lani bit her lips, her heart ached.
Andre entered the room slowly, he heard Lani reading al-Ma’tsurat dhikir. He approached after Lani was done, grabbed her hand and slowly kissed her. Lani just looked down. Andre lifted his wife's chin, saw Lani's face wet with tears, guilt increasingly agonizing.
”Mas sorry, dear. It was just a joke. ”
”You have a limit Mas. ”
”Mas, know. But it was really not intentional. If you are not pregnant yet, it is not your fault. God is not willing to give us children, our marriage is still a matter of months, there are people who have been married for many years have not been given a baby as well. ”
Lani's tears fell on her husband's hands.
Andre smiles. ” Come to think of it, our quarrel is not important, right? Time because of people's problems. Actually, the love of father and mother are both needed, that is why divorce is so hated by God even if it is ignored, one of the reasons because it will have a bad effect
children's. ”
Lani has not spoken.
”About the things we deal with, we find the best solution way yes.for the good of Love and Rafki.”.
”Has not been offered that way, but it looks like their marriage nipper really can't be saved anymore, barely drowning. ”
”But it hasn't sunk yet, Mas. Why don't we try to pull it again. ”
”Each of them already has someone else. ”
”No harm in trying. ”
Andre sighed.
”Sorry about that. ”
Lani nodded. Andre grabbed Lani into his arms.
”Mas, if for example Lani died Mas must have married again yes.”.
”Neither need to discuss. ” Andre rubbed his wife's back.
”Surely yes...”
Andre
kissing his wife's crown that is still wrapped in mucus. ” Are you not? ”
”Ngak. If any wife is left for dead by her husband, while her husband is a resident of heaven, then his wife is not remarried then God will gather them back in heaven. Lani wants us to meet again in heaven. Insha'allah. ”
Andre teared. ”You remember the story of Umm Salamah right? When Umm Salamah told Abu Salamah to promise each other, when one of them died, no one remarried, then her husband said 'are you obedient to me?' Umm Salamah replied, Yes. Her husband said, 'When I'm gone, get married.' Then Abu Salamah prayed to Allah that if he died, Umm Salamah was given a better husband than him. It turned out that finally Umm Salamah married the Prophet and became one of Ummul Mukminin. If for example you are also given a better than Mas, why not? ”
”Make Lani Mas the best. ”
”The best in our opinion is not necessarily the best for God. ”
”For now it is so, the proof is that God gathered us in marriage. Lani's decision to accept Mas also after asking for guidance from God, meaning that God does agree that Mas is best for Lani. If she dies, Lani will never marry again. ”
”Do not use the word dong. We don't know God's secret, baby. If for example you are young, the risk of being a young widow is heavy, slander can suffer at any time. ”
”Mas what the hell is it? Serem ah...Lani did not want to lose her. We just got married. ” Lani pinches her husband's stomach.
Andre laughs. ”Mas said that..”
”Ya already..don't discuss it again, like Mas want to die tomorrow. ”
Andre hugged Lani tighter and tighter.
”Mas, what Lani said. It is difficult if we deal with the same thing but from different camps. ”
”Mas admit yes. Sometimes we can't separate work from personal business. This is proof, the problem carried over to the house. ”
”Because Lani didn't accept yes..”
”This is your first case. ”
Lani smiles. ” Know no, Mas. Lani used to say that Lani would not want to marry a person whose profession or educational background is the same as Lani. ”
”Kok that? ” Eyebrow Andre linked.
”Because surely will fight often. ”
Andre laughs. ”Ngak. ”
”This proof. You both know. Lani wants to be the same as the son of Teknik. ”
”Why? ”
”Impressed macho and so cool..” Lani laughs.
Andremencibiru. ” But it turns out you are married to a person whose educational background is the same even his profession. Then you eat your own words dong. ”
”Yo, you named kecek ko ha. ”
”What the heck? ”
”There is..” Lani squinted one eye.
”Batak yes? ”
”Not. Minang Language. ”
Andre's head bobbles. ”You are yes..Patak people but also like to use Minang language. What the hell are you, actually? ” Andre pinched Lani's nose.
Lani smiles. ”Sometimes a second home for me, Mas. ”
”Why not marry Minang? ”
”No one is fighting...”
”So if there is, would you like to? ”
”Maybe yes. Depends, it fits. ”
Andre manyun's. ”Don't, used to hope to get Minang nih..eh, it turns out that it can be Javanese. ” Andre sighing.
Lani laughs amusedly. ”Let's ya...because not expected. ”
”Walau not expected but I finally found. ”
”Feeling a loss? ”
Andre shakes. ” You're a gift to me. ”
”And Mas misfortune for me. ” Lani joking.
”What? ” Andre glares.
Lani laughs. ”Handering kok Mas.”
”There are handsome guys bin cool bin smart kok calamity anyway.”.
”His narcissistic people. ”
Andre. Lani patted her husband's cheek.
