Chapter 4
Mosa then fell asleep with a headache.
The next day, Mosa was ready to pray at dawn but he felt dizzy again.
Mosa tried to say to Roni, "Ron, my head is dizzy," she said.
"So? Take care of yourself. You are a teacher like that, you can't handle it. I'm busy, my mother said I also have to take care of myself, because my mother can always support me," said Roni.
"I'm dizzy, Ron. I'm just saying this at least you understand or help me do something,"
"Just do it yourself, I want to go to mom's house because there is a need."
"You're going too far, Ron. I know that a boy must always obey his mother..." Mosa didn't finish saying that Roni had cut him off.
"You know, so don't stop me from being filial to my parents. Because without them I'm nothing. You're just dizzy anyway, how come you're sick that's worse. Mom is the best person for me."
Hearing Roni's explanation, Mosa's heart ached quite a bit. She always defended his mother over his wife. Even his wife seemed to be considered by no one.
"I want to go home," Mosa said.
"Oh, you want to go home, please! I didn't forbid it was good. I can continue to focus on my parents. Because your presence here makes me a little sick," said Roni.
Mosa's tears flowed freely, she had thought that Roni would not hinder his intention to go home. But the reason to let Mosa go home made her even more hurt.
"Okay, I want to go home. Maybe not come back. I feel not considered here. I just want to make you happy, even without my presence you think I'm a hindrance to you and your parents."
"Yes, please! The money I gave you is still enough to pay for your return home."
Mosa did not answer Roni's question. She headed to the room to pack his things. Not long after, Mosa left the room and took a backpack.
"I say goodbye, Assalamualaikum," said Mosa.
"Waalaikumsalam, you say goodbye to my parents too!" said Roni.
Mosa then went to his father-in-law's house and said goodbye.
"Where are you going?" asked Sarni.
"I want to go home, Mom," replied Mosa, looking down.
"You just got married, it's just a problem, it's no wonder my son doesn't like you. How come the teacher's thinking is immature. You should be grateful to be married to my son because he already has a house, and he has a lot of income. So what's wrong with the teacher with Roni's salary, he's a businessman, if you go home, just go home! Don't come back. Your kid doesn't know how to profit. Stupid kid, if you know you're like this, it's a shame for the family," Sarni cursed to Mosa.
"Sorry, I just wanted to say goodbye," said Mosa with still tears in his eyes. She did not expect the words that were uttered by her father-in-law, even though so far even in a broken home she was never said like that.
Mosa's heart was broken, Roni just watched without defending his wife in the slightest. Roni is also afraid that his mother will be angry with her.
A moment later Mosa had left, only Sarni and Roni.
"Your wife is just like an uneducated person, you get married and you are embarrassed. Not even as much as your marriage has been left home. You don't follow her, it's better for her to leave and you find another woman who can understand you! Don't be like her. If only your father could prefer good women, surely things will not be like this," said Sarni.
"Yes, ma'am. I also regret that I married her. Father and Mother have been fighting to marry me to her, she is rude," said Roni.
Roni does not realize that the fault lies with him. Even though as a husband, you must be able to maintain the good name of your partner. Moreover, Mosa had his self-esteem dropped in front of him and his mother.
Roni doesn't think about how to be a husband. Even though he often prays in the mosque and participates in religious activities, he does not understand how to treat his wife well.
Roni just keeps hearing what her mother says, whether it's true or not, the role model is that her second mother is her father.
Of course, this is not allowed. Mosa should be comfortable with a husband who can nurture and protect him but instead gets bad treatment.
Roni then relaxes at Sarni's house without thinking about Mosa. He just forgot what happened.
Now Mosa has arrived at his house. Because Mosa and Roni's house is not too far away, it's only enough to take an angkot in a few minutes.
Mosa went straight into the house. At home, it was quite quiet because there was only Mina.
"Assalamualaikum," said Mosa entering the house with tears in his eyes.
"Walaikumsalam," said Mina who was sitting in front of the television. "Why did you come home, son? Crying like this. What are you doing?" She asked.
"I went from there, there I was not considered. I was only scolded, Roni only followed his mother's words. Never once defended me. Even though I was being nice and tried to accept them, they only looked at me with one eye, even since I set foot there. Sorry, Mom, I must have made you sad. I had lied yesterday that I was fine there, even though I was very tormented there. Mas Roni doesn't consider me his wife at all, he only invites me to alk when I ask, that he never invites me to talk," Mosa explained, he was still feeling dizzy but because of the problems he was facing he ignored his dizziness and suddenly he fell unconscious.
Bruges.
"Oh my God, Mosa. Why did it come to this?" Mina then took wind oil and gave it to Mosa in several parts of his body.
Moments later Mosa awoke.
"Thank God, you're awake," said Mina.
Mosa started crying again as if he couldn't forget what had just happened.
"You are patient! You should be here to calm your mind. I felt bad yesterday because I was thinking about you, that's why I called, but you said you were fine. Honestly, I didn't believe it right away, because my feelings can't be lied to even if there are It's a lie. Maybe you're trying to cover it all up from Mom so I don't think about it. But I was once pregnant with you and cared for you until you grew up. My feelings are quite sensitive when your child is in trouble, even though I don't know what the problem is either."
"But rest assured, Mother will always be there for you. Maybe your mother-in-law also feels the same way."
Chapter 5
"But instead he's in control of Roni to say bad things to you. I'm not going to take this back to them. Let them do what they want. Just believe that Roni is your soul mate, I hope he can change. him, you shouldn't think too much about this. You might get sick," added Mina.
"I did feel dizzy earlier, Mom. But Roni didn't care. Even said hurtful things plus harsh words from my other-in-law. I was getting dizzy. Luckily I still got here safely. Otherwise, I might have fainted in the angkot," said Mosa.
"So, now you just rest first! if you're still dizzy later check at Bu Nur," said Mina.
Mrs. Nur is a nurse who opens a practice near Mina's house.
Mosa then took his bag to his room and lay down on his bed. Mosa took several deep breaths to try to calm himself down.
Mosa hopes that he will be fine even though Roni doesn't like him. Mosa is already in love with one hand. Although at first, he had doubts he managed to convince himself that Roni was the best man.
Mosa remembers that when Roni came to her house with a fellow teacher at school, Haikal, Roni gave Mosa a happy smile when Mosa was sick at that time.
Haikal intends to visit Mosa, and Roni is invited by Haikal. Since then Mosa and Roni became acquainted.
Roni offered to Mosa if he wanted to move on to a more serious relationship. But Mosa was still thinking about it. Mosa wants to know Roni's family first.
During school holidays, Roni often invites Mosa to visit his brother's house and finally to his parents' house. During the introduction, Roni did not show any signs of being rude. Mosa only found Roni always speaking softly.
Indeed, when approaching the wedding, Mosa saw Roni angry but only kept silent and did not say harsh words.
Only then did Mosa remember that during the introduction period, Roni always said the words "mother said" many times. He just realized that Roni is a mama's boy.
Even so, Mosa was still trying to be patient. If you are married, you will come back. But to return to receive rough treatment is not. Mosa wants that even if he comes back, Mosa doesn't want Roni to be handled by Sarni.
Mosa wishes that if they were with Roni again, they would live far away from their parents-in-law so that they could be free. But back to Roni, can he be away from his mother? Because they have never been separated. Even Roni only did something if ordered and allowed by her mother.
Even though it seems impossible, Mosa can only pray for the best. Because only God can turn a person's heart.
The next day, Mosa had started work. As usual, she left early in the morning to welcome the students. When in front of the school lobby there was already a teacher friend who greeted.
"Wow, the newlyweds have arrived, I think they are still on holiday," said Raisa.
Mosa smiled, "Yes, at home I miss school," she said.
"But if you miss home at school, yes. Hehe." Raisa teased.
Mosa just kept walking towards the teacher's room. Then put down the bag and take a deep breath to calm down. She will be teased a lot. Because people's thoughts when newlyweds are loving each other and enjoying being a new self. Unlike Mosa, she felt hurt. But he didn't want to tell people about it. She acted as if nothing had happened in his marriage.
During recess, Mosa was only in the teacher's room. Raisa saw him approaching.
"After the break are there teaching hours?" ask Raisa
"Nothing," said Mosa.
"I want to take you to the library," said Raisa.
Mosa and Raisa are best friends, so they act normal if there are no students. If there are students they act as teachers and don't call me and you.
"Yes, I want to eat lunch first," said Mosa.
They walked towards the library. Seen some students greet Mosa and shake hands because of a few days off. And teasing Mosa, Mosa did not feel uncomfortable she was happy that a lot of attention was paid to him.
When we arrived at the library, the doorbell rang. Some students in the library left the library to go to their respective classes.
In the library, Raisa invites Mosa to talk privately.
"Sa, it looks like you're hiding something. Say it! I saw you this morning in the lobby, I saw it in your eyes. I used to see you happy and happy but instead, you looked gloomy even though you smiled at everyone on your lips," Raisa said.
Mosa smiled, "I'm fine," he said.
"Don't lie, you show yourself more when there's a problem, Sa. Don't hide it from me, I can feel you're sad. Let's just say, a friend wants to help you while I can. Even though I'm also married but I don't have children, we can still share when we feel sad," explained Raisa.
Mosa burst into tears, "You're right. I'm feeling sad, a marriage that I thought would be happy is painful, my husband is cold and very indifferent to me. Likewise, my mother-in-law is ery protective of her child. I was never touched by my husband. Yesterday I'm dizzy he even shouted at me harshly. I was just trying to be patient, but instead I w, as humiliated. I didn't expect that his true nature was like that. Then I said goodbye to go home, he instead let me go home without dropping me off. What I was very upset about was that my mother-in-law also called me harsh words, even though I have never been treated like that in my life," explained Mosa.
"O Allah, Mosa, you came like that. It's okay. Your husband is outrageous, he was a little hesitant when you suddenly wanted to get married. You once told me that he was diligent in worship, but he wasn't a benchmark for someone. Not comparing, my husband is not diligent go to the mosque but still remembers praying he can treat me well. It's too much Mosa, you should go home. Calm your mind, then you are there just eating your heart. After school, we eat together, and I treat. Maybe it can cheer you up a little, "
"But what about your husband?" asked Mosa anxiously.
"You forgot, huh. My husband comes home after Isha, so it doesn't matter. Later I will also say if I want to eat with you first, God willing, he will allow it. I also want to please you. Surely you need entertainment, I'm so sorry for you, Sa It's only been 3 days since you've been a bride," Raisa said.
Chapter 6
"That's it. After school, we'll get a little wind. You're a good friend, Sa," said Mosa.
"I should have helped you. So if there's something, just say it. You don't need me to interrogate first," said Raisa.
After school hours, Mosa and Raisa headed to one of the designated cafes. They ordered food and drinks to accompany the turn of the afternoon into the evening.
Mosa was a little relieved that he could have a chance to speak his heart apart from his mother.
"Sa, tell me what you want to do now!" Raisa asked.
"From the start of the marriage, she was very indifferent. She didn't want to eat my food. She always spent her time at her mother's house or the mosque. Maybe it looked good but she didn't care about me. I felt like I wasn't a wife there, nor was I a maid. just a ride at his house" explained Mosa.
"Then does he ever give you money? Or does he care about your needs?" Raisa replied.
Mosa shook his head. Visible clear liquid coming out of the tip of the Netra. "He gave only 150 thousand rupiahs," she said.
"O Allah, really, yes. You did the right thing, Mosa. You left there. There was nothing to be weighed against. After all, you were never touched. Even if you were to separate from him you don't have an iddah period, so what are you going to do now?" Raisa asked.
"I still have a lot of considerations, on the other hand, I also don't respect my husband and his family anymore. I think I want to separate it if it can't be maintained. Maybe I should be a widow rather than having to live there but be mentally tormented," complained Mosa.
"You're right. But don't rush, at least you give him some time. If you don't have good faith, you should just file a lawsuit," Raisa suggested.
"Yeah, maybe later I'll think about it again. Right now I'm still focused on refreshing my mind first. For three days there I felt like I was in a lot of torment. No one wanted to defend me," continued Mosa.
"Now, let's not talk about what makes you sad. We'd better talk about something else. The food is also delicious, I've been here before," Raisa said, she didn't want to say she had been there before with her husband. She didn't want to offend the troubled Mosa.
At Roni's house, he was happy because Mosa came home without being kicked out. He had no interest in marrying Mosa. Because Mosa is considered not good at dressing up. Roni wants a woman who is smart in dressing up so that when she meets her friends she feels proud to have a beautiful wife.
Expelling him to his mother's house. Arriving at his mother's house he sat in the living room.
"What are you doing? Thinking about your wife who doesn't know herself?" asked Sarni.
"No, why are you even thinking about her?" replied Ron.
At that time only Roni and his mother were at home.
"Yes. You're right, Ron. Why are you thinking about her? Just divorce that Mosa. There's nothing good about it. There are still many women who want to be with you. Moreover, you have a lot of money and have a house," said Sarni.
"Yes. But I don't want the one to sue, let him alone. I don't want if I'm not present, the process will be fast," said Roni.
Roni's father is still not home, so Roni is comfortable at his mother's house. Roni thinks that he will just divorce Mosa. Because marrying Mosa doesn't have any effect on him.
According to Roni, let what he spent to marry Mosa just disappear, after all, the gift is not too expensive.
In the afternoon Karno found that Mosa was no longer at Roni's house from Sarni.
"So why did Mosa suddenly come home?" Karno asked.
"From the start, I didn't like him, you were the one who forced Roni to marry him," said Sarni sarcastically. He felt that Mosa's decision to leave the house was right.
"I feel sorry for Mosa, his family has fallen apart, and she has the right to be happy too," said Karno feeling sorry for Mosa.
"Why do you feel sorry for a child like that? After all, Father also insists that Roni is also not interested. Now he is nothing but a widower. But I'm sure that later he will get his soul mate. Because Mosa is not his soulmate. Many women are lining up to be Roni's wife. So you don't have to worry anymore! And I ask you not to arrange for Roni to marry again or something like this will happen again," Sarni threatened.
"Well, at that time, it was Ron who introduced Mosa to us, why is it now Father who is being blamed for this," Karno replied.
"Because you didn't say before that your parents were a mess. If you said that from the start, this certainly wouldn't have happened, sir," said Sarni annoyed.
"Yes, if that's the case. Hopefully, Roni and Mosa can find their soul mates," said Karno.
Two weeks later Mosa waited for Roni's goodwill but there was no news. She was tired of the marriage. According to Raisa's suggestion, she will wait at least 2 more weeks if it is still the same, Mosa will have to sue Roni in court.
Mosa enjoys her activities at home and school. She was relieved that she was no longer with her evil husband. But it's not a relief if it's not officially separated.
Two weeks later, there was no news at all from Roni. Mosa is very sure if you have to separate. There's nothing left to defend anymore.
That day Mosa left school, and she went to court to file a lawsuit against Roni. Mosa did not go alone but with Mira.
Mira has resigned herself to Mosa's marriage because if it continues, it will make Mosa suffer more. She is willing to let his son become a widow like himself, rather than having to be constantly tormented.
Even though the widow status is considered lopsided in society, for Mosa's good, Mira supports Mosa only.
After completing the lawsuit, the officer gave directions that later there would be a summons that must be attended by both parties.
Mosa understood and then she invited Mira to eat out instead. Because Mosa rarely invites Mira to eat out.
"Mom, sorry, because I have disappointed you with my decision to part with Roni," said Mosa.
"No. I'm not disappointed, I know how you feel. I support your decision. Hopefully, it will be made easier and later on, you will get a better substitute for Roni," said Mira.
"It seems that after this I don't want to think about getting married again. I want to focus on my mother and sister. I'm still traumatized by marriage," added Mosa.
"Don't be like that, Mosa! Your future is still long. Don't stop anyone from approaching you! I'm sure that your soul mate will not go anywhere. After this, you should arrange your heart again," suggested Mira.
"You'll see later, ma'am. This is still filing a lawsuit. I no longer have any feelings for Roni. I believed what he said before getting married and then he just dumped me.
"Patience, Mosa! All bad deeds will have a reward as well as good deeds. Fortunately, you don't have children, if you have later you still have to communicate and establish relationships for the sake of your children. But destiny is like this. Thank God Mosa,'' said Mira.
"Yes, ma'am. Even though I don't know the beauty of marriage, at least I know the pain. I don't know when I can get it, but I want to make Mom happy," said Mosa.
Mira felt relieved if Mosa had the desire to open his heart again. Nira knows what it's like to be separated. Because she had experienced it. But the difference is Mira already has 2 children, namely Mosa and her brother.
It's not easy to separate from your partner. There is affection or having a beautiful moment together. Like Mira used to be with Mosa's father. Even so, Mira was able to be sincere with everything that happened.
At least Mosa didn't feel the excessive pain like she used to. Because Mosa has never felt the beauty of marriage with Roni.
