Not the Perfect Son-in-law
Chapter 47. Forgive me, Hafsah

Chapter 47

After the completion of the dawn prayer, Ali taught while holding the stomach of Hafsah. Getting treatment like this makes the heart of the mother-to-be happy countless times. Her dreams all along could be realized as well. 

Ruqoyah who just woke up because she heard the melodious voice of her son looking at the couple. He recalls his dream last night. Where she met the husband who was holding a boy who had a face with Ali. The meeting felt real to her, especially when her husband gave so much advice to her that he made her cry and apologized to her.

"Mom, don't you want us to regroup together in the afterlife?" tanya Said held onto Ruqoyah's hand.

"Of course I want us to be reunited with my father in heaven" Ruqoyah replied.

"Then, what mother deserves to be a servant placed in heaven, while mother always hurts your own daughter-in-law and makes trouble for your son" Said said and boasted to Ruqoyah.

"Repent, Mom! As long as God gives time before your life reaches the esophagus. Expand worship, stop acts of worship and spread false news. Fear God, Mom!" 

Ruqoyah was crying in astonishment, a flash of all her deeds appearing in the memories suddenly as if she was watching a video. He knew because the selfishness of wanting to have grandchildren made him behave like that to Hafsah and Ali. 

"I'm sorry mom, Dad. I regret ... Kapok mother and will not do evil again to Hafsah and Ali," Ruqoyah said in a cry. 

Ruqoyah felt a tightness and pain in her chest. She hugged her husband's body and shed all her tears of regret.

"Please promise me you'll change those bad habits. Throw away and don't come back."

Ruqoyah nodded. He promised in his heart.

"If mother wants something to ask God, we are only weak beings who need His greatness and His compassion. What do you remind me of right now?" ask Said.

Ruqoyah looked at Said, not that the husband knew what he wanted from before. Why don't you seem to know.

"Honestly, I want a grandchild's presence. I envy my neighbors and my friends who have grandchildren and are always proud of them" Ruqoyah replied.

"Who said we don't have grandchildren. This is our granddaughter, Mom."

Said stroked the head of the little boy who had been sitting next to him since. Ruqoyah looked at the little boy.

"Assalamualaikum, Grandma," the little boy greeted Ruqoyah.

Ruqoyah instead of answering the greeting instead fell silent from being amazed by the boy's call. There was also a sense of happiness that he felt at this moment.

"He ... Our grandson, Dad?" tanya Ruqoyah still could not believe it.

"Yes, our grandchildren who haven't seen the world yet" Said replied still stroking the head of the boy wearing white clothes.

"We have to leave immediately" Said said.

"Assalamualaikum, Grandma. We go first, yeah!" The little boy waved to Ruqoyah.

"No! Don't leave me," cried Ruqoyah as she ran after them. However, the two people walked away very quickly leaving him.

Ruqoyah returned from her daydream. He rubbed the tears that just fell on his cheek.

Ali kissed Hafsah's stomach a few times. She is giving a touch of affection to her children.

"Good in there, yeah, you guys. Father and Mother will always take good care of you" said Ali.

"Yes, Dad. We will not be fussy because dear Father is the same Mother," Hafsah replies to imitate the voice of a child. Then they both laughed happily.

Ruqoyah who saw that was astonished. Then he got up from his bed.

"Ali .. Hafsah," call Ruqoyah.

The two laughing people immediately turned their attention to Ruqoyah who was sitting on the gurney. Then they approached the mother.

"Mom's up? Going to the bathroom?" ask Hafsah gently.

Ruqoyah immediately hugged Hafsah and cried loudly. He was ashamed of his daughter-in-law. He often gets rough treatment from her, but still always treats himself well.

"I'm sorry mom, Hafsah. Mother has sinned too much for you. I beg you to forgive all the sins of your mother so much!" pinta Ruqoyah while crying roared.

Hafsah's body suddenly stiffened to hear the words of his mother-in-law. She did not expect that the woman who had given birth to her husband would apologize even to this extent. Without tears, too, came down.

"I have forgiven all the things my mother has done to me. It is precisely I who must apologize to mother, because it has not been able to become a daughter-in-law like mother wanted," said Hafsah in a sobbing that was held back.

"No. You always give your best to your mother. It's just that the mother is not a person who likes to be grateful and always feels less. Forgive me, son," replied this middle-aged woman.

Ali came crying to see the scenery nearby. The two meaningful women in her life are now embracing each other. She felt very happy and moved because her mother had realized her mistake.
