The Former
DESTINY LINE

"Uh,,,!"

Nindy awakens when she hears the sound of Rafael sleeping by her side.

"Uh,,,! Don't leave! I beg you not to go" Rafael returned.

From last night, Nindy woke up several times because she heard her husband who was anxious. Although the voice was not too loud, but still the voice of the husband made him wake up.

"Calm down. I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere" whispered Nindy right in the husband's ear.

Nindy wondered what Rafael really dreamed of, why he kept on wanting.

"Actually what disturbs your mind until you continue to worry in your dreams".

Nindy rubbed her husband's face and hair gently until Rafael fell asleep again.

"Sleep, I'll never go again" she said, landing a kiss on her husband's forehead.

Nindy looked at the face of the husband who had now returned to sleep, she did not have the heart to disturb his sleep because she knew that her husband had not been able to sleep well. Last night Linda told me a lot about Rafael over the last few years, one of them is if it turns out that Rafael has been suffering from acute insomnia until he must consume drugs from doctors so he can sleep.

Honestly Nindy does not know for sure what bothers Rafael's mind to make him wander all night, but even so he can immediately guess if he is the one who might make the husband's sleep is not calm.

Nindy never thought if not only herself who was disappointed in the fate that occurred in their marriage but it turns out the husband also felt the same thing. Maybe even what Rafael feels is not just a disappointment, but more than that is a regret that is so deep because of the mistakes he has made.

My heart did hurt when I decided to leave, but I managed to treat that wound by trying to open my heart back to another love. But I never thought if it turned out that you actually kept a wound that I never even imagined before.

Why would you do that? Why did you have to keep yourself in this prison? Why don't you try to forget me and live your life better?

But now you don't have to worry anymore, because I'll never leave again.

After making sure her husband went back to sleep, Nindy grabbed his phone and looked at the clock that had been showing at five in the morning. Slowly she took her husband's hand off her hand and decided to get up and step into the bathroom.

.

Ms. Linda smiled when she saw Nindy coming to the kitchen, she was preparing a special breakfast for her son and daughter-in-law.

"Are you awake?" Ask Linda ma'am.

"Yes, ma" Sahut Nindy smiled and stepped closer to her mother-in-law.

Ms. Linda returned with her smile, she was very happy to see her daughter-in-law in the house again.

"Rafa's still asleep?" Ask him again.

Nindy nodded.

"Yes, ma. She slept very well, so I couldn't bear to wake her up".

"Don't wake up" Sela ma'am Linda.

"Let Rafa sleep, it's been a long time that he hasn't slept so soundly".

Nindy smiled thinly. Actually he wanted to tell me about Rafael who had been wanting all night, but he abandoned his intentions. Nindy does not want her mother-in-law to be sad if she knows what happened to her son.

"Thank you baby, because last night you were going to sleep here. Mama is very happy when she finds out that you have made up and are trying to fix your marriage again" Linda said sincerely.

"Yes ma" Sahut Nindy.

"Mama hope this is a good start to your relationship. Don't ever leave Rafael again yes, you can't see you suffering and hurting each other like before".

Nindy approached Linda and rubbed her arm gently.

"It's us to pass this test, Ma. Nindy hopes that she will always support us and guide us to live this marriage better" Nindy said.

"Of course, baby, mom will always pray for your happiness" said Linda.

"Do'a mama will never break up for the happiness of you two".

Ms. Linda stretched out her arms to embrace the body of the son-in-law and Nindy smiled to welcome her mother-in-law's hand. The two hugged each other for a moment until finally the hug came off.

"What is your mom preparing for breakfast?" Ask Nindy then

"Just a simple breakfast anyway, because Rafael does not like a heavy breakfast" replied Linda.

"Any ma, I can have breakfast with anything" he said.

Ms. Linda nodded then returned to the work that had been delayed earlier.

Nindy saw all parts of the kitchen that turned out to have changed a lot, some furniture was also replaced and moved places. Nindy also saw two maids with unfamiliar faces in her eyes who were helping Linda in the kitchen.

"Bik Nur doesn't work here anymore, ma?" Ask Nindy.

"No dear, Bik Nur has not worked here since three years ago" Sahut bu Linda.

"Bik Nur decided to stop working and return to his village".

"Mmmm,,,!" Nindy nodded.

"Why? Do you miss the same Bik Nur?" Ask Linda ma'am.

"Just want to meet ma" Sahut Nindy.

"Nindy also misses Nur's bik cuisine" he continued.

"Feel what you miss? Justsaytheword. Let mama have a special meal for you" said Ms. Linda.

"Ah, no need ma. I don't want to trouble my mom".

Ms. Linda stopped her activities and looked back at the daughter-in-law.

"Never talk like that again. My mother never felt disturbed. Instead, mama is happy because finally mama can prepare the food you like".

"Now tell me Mama, what do you want for breakfast?" Ask Linda ma'am.

"Emm,,,! Chicken porridge" answered Nindy.

"Chicken porridge!" Ms. Linda repeated the words of the daughter-in-law.

"Yes, ma. I miss the chicken porridge made by Bik Nur" said Nindy.

After a moment of silence, Linda finally smiled.

"Alright, mama will prepare a special for you. It just so happens that mama knows the recipe for chicken porridge bik Nur".

Nindy smiled her smile, she was so happy because her mother-in-law would grant her wish.

"Thank you ma" Nindy immediately gave a hug to the mother.

"Same baby, now you wait at the dinner table huh. Mama will prepare a special chicken porridge for the daughter-in-law of this most beautiful mother" said Ms. Linda.

Nindy nodded, she was unable to hide her current happiness. Accepted as a daughter-in-law has made Nindy happy especially if her mother-in-law treats her so spoiled. Of course it becomes a gift that is worthy of Nindy's gratitude.

"Ma!" Nindy called her mother-in-law back.

"Can you make chicken porridge for two servings?".

"Two servings?" Ms. Linda frowned, she could not believe that the portion of her daughter-in-law's meal was double that of her posture.

"Yes, ma. One for me and one for Rafael" replied Nindy.

Ms. Linda smiled as she knew what the daughter-in-law meant.

"But Rafa does not like breakfast with foods that contain a lot of carbohydrates" he said.

"This time Rafa's brother will definitely like ma, because I'm the one who bribed him" Sahut Nindy said.

Madam Linda smiled again.

"Alright, special chicken porridge is ready OTW" said Ms. Linda with a big smile.

This happiness feels so beautiful if we want to accept God's destiny with a sincere heart. There is nothing wrong with all the destinies God has outlined, the only thing wrong is that we humans cannot accept that fate line.
