Pursuing My Husband's First Love
Telling Mother

When Moses and Medina returned home they found their house empty. After they searched, they found out that Ms. Aini was at Mariam's house to meet Octavia.

Moses and Medina returned to her car and rushed to Mariam's house. They were greeted with a face full of question marks from Bu Aini.

"Why, Mom?" moses asked, "Mother looks confused? Where's Octavia?"

"Have been sleeping, from earlier the same toy mother. You've been gone a long time, lonely mother."

"Sorry, Mom. There was business."

"here, Din. Sit down first you must be tired," invited Bu Aini to see Medina who looks tired.

"Yes, Mom."

They head to the living room of Mariam's house, Lisa-Desi's niece Teh who takes care of Octavia, immediately makes a drink for them.

"Zan, here! I want to talk to you" said Ms. Aini, Moses complied and sat down next to her.

"So Octavia said that if she misses her mother, her mother has never been home for a few days. Mom was really messianic with the kid, about Mba Mariam where was Zan? I asked Lisa, but she was rich covering up something that I didn't know." Ms. Aini told me suspiciously.

"Ehm, that's what Mizan wants to say, Mom." Moses glanced at Medina and tried to string out the best sentence for his mother.

"Say how? Anyway, tomorrow mom comes home to bring Oktavia all, in the village is good, there is a father, there are parents Mariam also who can replace Oktavia nemenin play and learn, there is a father, there are parents Mariam also who can replace Oktavia nemenin play and learn, rich gini he is rich abandoned children and lack of attention" said Bu Aini emotionally.

"Yes, Mizan understands, Mom."

"Mom, Mariam is actually being treated .." Moses said.

"What's? In nursing? Mba Mariam is sick, to? Why not say it?" asked Ms. Aini surprised.

"Truly, Mariam is pregnant, Mom."

"Huh?"

"Mariam is pregnant and .. her condition is weak, hence ... is now being treated," Moses replied nervously.

"What did you say? Mba Mariam's pregnant?" asked Bu Aini in disbelief, Moses only nodded without daring to look directly at his mother's face.

"Really, pregnant?" Bu Aini again confirmed the words his ears received, Moses nodded again.

"Your son?" he asked again, Moses just nodded.

"Your son, Zan!" exclaims Bu Aini does not believe.

"Astaghfirulloh .. astaghfirulloh." Ms. Aini looks shocked.

"Bu ... mother!" exclaimed Medina immediately propped up her mother-in-law's almost limp shoulders.

"Silence, Mom. Drink first" said Medina while giving a cup of tea to her mother-in-law.

"Istighfar, Mom. Calm down." Moses panicked to see his mother's response.

"Astaghfirulloh ... Yes Alloh, Zan. How is Mba Mariam pregnant? Why divorce her if she's pregnant with your child? Pamali, Zan. No man divorces his pregnant wife. Yes Alloh .. what trials are this again," said Ms. Aini with tears.

"Calm down, Mom. Mizan will explain everything. Mizan and Medina also just found out, Mariam closed her pregnancy tightly from everyone."

"What?!"

"Yes, Mom. We just found out, and immediately checked the news at the hospital where Mba Mariam was treated earlier," Medina said.

"Yes, Mba Mariam .. Why is she so?!" lament Bu Aini.

"Calm down, Mom. Let Mizan tell me everything slowly to mom."

"Astaghfirullohaladzim ...."

"Mariam only found out about her pregnancy after Mizan dropped her talaq. Mariam didn't want to go back to the wedding just because of the boy."

"But what would people say if they knew you were divorcing Mba Mariam while pregnant?" said Ms. Aini still with her cries.

"Your divorce has taken a hit, now I don't think about this incident."

"All Mariam's choices, ma'am," Moses said, were trying to appease his mother, but in vain.

"Mommy is getting less and less thought, why Mba Mariam wants to get divorced. If the reason is only like yesterday can still be accepted, but this? She's pregnant!"

"Yes Alloh .. What should I do, Zan? Mother increasingly has no face in front of the family Mba Mariam in the village," regretted mother full of deadlock.

"The rice has become a porridge, ma'am. Not entirely our fault, Mba Mariam also had a strong share in this separation, Medina believes Mas Musa had tried to defend Mba Mariam before."

"But ... Mba Mariam has indeed rounded her throat and there is not the slightest desire Mba Mariam to return, that is the reason why Mba Mariam hid it alone."

"Mba Mariam ..fear that Mas Musa annulled their divorce proceedings and referred to them instead." Medina tried to calm her mother-in-law.

"So Mba Mariam's parents don't know?" ask Ms. Aini.

"Faisal?"

"Yes, Mom. Mizan met Mas Faisal."

"How should we do now?" ask Ms. Aini.

"Mizan will be responsible for the child in Mariam's womb, all costs become Mizan's dependency because the period of iddah pregnant women is when she gives birth. That's all, Mom. Mariam didn't give much, that's enough considering how hard it is to tear Mariam down."

Bu Aini was silent at the long words of his son.

"Bus ... Mizan is also heavy with this decision, it feels like eating simalakama fruit. But Mizan had tried before and Mariam could not be forced, and Mizan had promised to make Medina his only wife." Mizan got up and knelt on her mother's lap.

"Bu .. pardon Mizan, for always giving the same problem to Mom," said Mizan by crying while resting on his mother.

The haru atmosphere enveloped the room, Lisa eavesdropping silently told Desi Tea about what happened.

"Already, Zan. It is my responsibility as a parent. All the trials you have bought at the beginning, hopefully after this there will be happiness for you and your family."

"Thank you, Nduk. You don't leave a mother's child like Mba Mariam, " said Ms. Aini to Medina.

"Yes, Mom."

"You have also faced trials that are not easy as a wife. But you managed to accompany the mother's son patiently, may your descendants become sholehah children, yes Nduk. And your family becomes a family that is sad, mawadah, warohmah, loving each other to the end. Aamiin's."

"Aamiin's." The three of them hugged Haru.

"Mba Mariam is likely home today, ma'am. I can meet him later" Medina said after the novelty passed.

"Well, I'll wait here. You better go home and rest. You look tired and pale."

"We'd better go home, ma'am. Later, if Mariam had gone home, it must have been said," Moses proposed to see his mother who was still in shock and not okay.

"Oh .., "Mum Aini seemed to think for a while, "alright, let's go home."

Moses looked at his mother who was approaching Octavia in his room, he kissed the sleeping little girl for a moment of affection. A mother who in her old age had to live far away from her children.

Moses knew his mother was sad. The arrival of Mas Faisal had reminded his mother of Mas Harun. Their close friendship makes Mas Faisal often spend time at home with Mas Aaron first.

But, because of one thing their friendship cracked even changed into hostility that caused Mas Harun chose to settle in Cairo and even have a family there.

Later, he chose to live outside the city to avoid the memory of Mariam, but his mother had hoped that Moses would stay home after completing his studies in Hadramaut. But it was in this city that Moses met again and tied a complicated story with Mariam. Moses understands the loneliness his mother endured, and to make amends for his mistake he intends to bring Medina home.

They returned to Medina's house. Ms. Aini who looked struck more silence and chose to sleep. Medina was worried about seeing her mother-in-law's condition.

"Mass?" call Medina to Moses, who is relaxing on the terrace.

"Lho, Deck. You're not resting?"

"Medina can't sleep, Mom."

"Why?"

"Medina pity mom. Is mom okay? Lest the mother still want Mba Mariam back with the child in her womb," said Medina nervously.

"Dec, don't be a burden on the mind. I must be sad and shocked, but I definitely understand that Mariam can't be forced back. I'm just sad because I've been lonely all this time."

" So we decided to go home and live in the village, so that the mother can be close to her grandchildren and children" said Musa smilingly looking at Medina.

Medina was teary-eyed at the words of Moses.

"Lho, why, Dek? Something wrong with the words, man?" moses found a clear grain in the corner of Medina's eye.

"No, Mas," Medina replied as she wiped her own tears, she lifted her lips and smiled.

"Medina thinks Mas Musa left just because Mba Mariam asked for it" Medina said sadly.

"No, Deck. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I want you to be close to me."

"Sorry, Mas. Medina was suudzhon with Mas Musa's heart."

"Mas just love you, Deck. Mariam is just a piece of the past." Moses hugged Medina who was still crying.
