Fatma had just finished performing the maghrib prayer, not long after her mother called her while knocking on her bedroom door slowly. Fatma immediately opened the door for her mother.
"Fatma, dinner is ready. Let's eat now, father is waiting for you at the dining table". said the mother.
"Yes ma'am". Fatma said as he followed his mother behind him.
The atmosphere at dinner this time felt something different for the mother, because the mother realized her child's worries since morning. But the mother did not want to discuss it now, for fear of offending Fatma.
"Fatma, this includes side dishes, son. You have to eat a lot for your health and for the baby you are carrying". said the mother.
"No ma'am, thank you. I'm not eating well, ma'am". Said Fatma.
"What do you want, son? I'll let dad buy it later". asked the father.
Fatma smiled. Thanks dad, but I don't want anything. It seems that the child I am carrying understands and doesn't want to bother his mother." Fatma muttered.
Hearing Fatma's words like that made his parents frown and look at each other. "What do you mean, son? Talk like that?". asked the mother.
"It's nothing ma'am, thank God I've finished eating. Then I'll go to the room first, okay, ma'am". Fatma said.
"Yes I want". said the father.
Seeing the child's behavior like that, made both of Fatma's parents wonder. What's really going on with their child, the parents don't seem to recognize the child's figure who is so cheerful.
"Well, I'm worried about Fatma. From this morning, I noticed that Fatma's attitude was a bit strange, like someone was nervous." said the mother.
"Maybe the baby is born, don't worry about it. We just pray that our children and future grandchildren will be given health". said the father.
Soon there was a knocking sound from outside, while the mother immediately rushed to the living room to open the door. He saw his son-in-law was in front of him.
"Oh my God, Hendra. How are you, son? I really miss you". Said the mother-in-law and immediately hugged her daughter-in-law.
"Thank God, I'm fine ma'am". Hendra said as he returned the hug of his father-in-law.
Well, dad!! Come here quickly, Hendra is coming. shouted the mother.
The father immediately rushed to the living room to meet his son-in-law.
"Hendra, oh God. I miss you, son. How is your work in Jakarta? Everything is going smoothly?". Said the father-in-law who immediately hugged him.
"Thank God everything went well." said Hendra.
"Come on, please sit down. What do you want to drink?". asked the mother-in-law.
"What's up ma'am". said Hendra.
"Please call Fatma, ma'am". said the father.
"Yeah yeah". Said the mother and immediately rushed to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Fatma, who was still in the room, did not know Hendra's arrival. He was still staring at the night sky from behind the curtains of his room. Not long after that the mother entered her room and approached Fatma.
"Fatma". Call the mother while holding the left shoulder.
"Mother, just surprise me. What's wrong, ma'am?". asked Fatma.
"I'm sorry if I surprised you, but I've been knocking on your door and calling you, there's no answer from inside. That's why I just went inside, there's Hendra outside, son". said the mother.
"What? Mas Hendra has come?". Exclaimed Fatma.
"Yeah, let's go out now." Invite the mother.
Fatma also agreed with her mother's words and immediately rushed to the living room. His heart was beating fast, his anger seemed to overflow in an instant. But Fatma must be able to contain all her emotions, because Hendra has just arrived.
"Fatma". Hendra said quietly.
Fatma immediately approached Hendra and immediately kissed the back of her husband's hand. Without further ado, Fatma sat down beside her father.
"Why are you even sitting here, sitting there, want to be with your husband". said the father.
"I want to be here with my father." Fatma said briefly.
"Okay, come sit next to daddy"
Meanwhile Hendra sighed. "Father, mother, first of all I want to apologize for not coming here at the same time as Fatma, because I was busy yesterday. And the purpose of my coming here—" Instantly Hendra could no longer continue his sentence and could only look down languidly.
"Why do you want Hendra? What's wrong? Why are you silent?". Said the mother-in-law, but Hendra remained silent and did not move a word.
"Hendra, let's talk. What do you want to talk to us about?". muttered the father-in-law.
Hendra tried to lift his head then took a deep breath. "Fatma asked me to divorce her ma'am, yeah". Hendra exclaimed softly while shedding tears.
Hendra's words shocked Fatma's parents in disbelief, the mother looked at Fatma's face deeply. And still wonders about what happened in the household of his only child.
"What do you want? What happened to you two?" said the mother while shedding tears.
Fatma wipes her tears. "Before Mas Hendra married me, it turned out that he was already married ma'am". Fatma said and burst into tears.
Hearing the words of the son made his father angry and immediately cursed his son-in-law.
"I taught you Hendra, how dare you lie to our family. What's wrong with you, Hendra. To the point of your heart lying to us all". said the father.
However, Hendra remained silent while lowering his head.
"Tell us the truth, son, what have you experienced during your stay in Jakarta? Does your husband not provide for you?". Check the father.
Fatma sighed. "No, Mas Hendra is very responsible for providing for me. But at that time, he was tempted by another woman who was none other than our own neighbor. And that woman had tried to kill me, fortunately Allah still protected me and this stitched wound is what the woman did." Fatma muttered while showing the stab wound done by Kinar.
"Astagfirullahaladzim, you are really rude, Hendra. I'm sorry mother really sincerely loves you as a son-in-law". snapped the mother-in-law.
Hendra immediately knelt in front of his mother-in-law, crying broke out apologizing from the mother-in-law. But not long after, a woman suddenly pushed her way into Fatma's house.
"Enough mas!! Why are you kneeling like that". Annisa said.
Annisa's arrival made the people around her silent for a moment.
"How dare you take him to my parents' house? So you really still love him, right?" Fatma said.
"No Fatma, this is a misunderstanding. I came here alone, I don't know why Annisa is here". Hendra said trying to calm Fatma down.
However, Hendra did not get a chance to give an explanation, because Fatma's father, who had been furious all this time, had immediately kicked Hendra out of his house.
"Enough Hendra, there's nothing to explain. Get out of here quickly, I'm sick of seeing your face. After your grandson is born, I will take care of all your divorce papers. By Allah, Hendra's father will not allow you to see your child after birth". said the father-in-law.
Annisa, who had been furious with Fatma's family, immediately pulled Hendra to take him away.
"Come on, mas, why are you still here doesn't matter." Annisa said while pulling Hendra forcibly.
Finally Hendra gave up and left Fatma's parents' house, while Annisa immediately invited Hendra into the car that she had rented long before.
