Bound A Promise
Basri looked from the tip of his hair to the tip of his feet, with a burning gaze, the child who had always looked weak, now dared to refute him. His pride as the head of the family was also hurt. He's a strong guy who's not taken lightly by his professional friends, because he's an experienced truck driver. On the other hand, his neighbors and brothers, knew him as a kind and friendly man.
It was his disillusionment and prejudice that made his attitude so bad to his wife and child. There was no other cause to cover his kindness than to feel betrayed by his wife.
“What are you, saying? How dare you fight me now? Huh!” basri asked with emotion flowing through her growling tone while gritting her teeth.
“I'm not fighting, sir. But it's just it!” winisi's reply made Basri more emotional.
His anger was overflowing, always wanting him to vent on Winsi, as a result of his disappointment. He could not have divorced his wife, even though he no longer believed, all because he was bound by a promise he himself made. Especially now that he saw the girl acting so boldly, like dousing gasoline in a fire.
Winsi also felt disappointment in his father when he was always called an illegitimate child, coupled with, what he saw a few days ago, Basri seemed happy with another woman and not his mother. Now, she feels grown up and not an elementary school child anymore, even though she has not gotten her period, but her mother said she has grown into a mature child.
Yes, according to him the word adult is a person who is able to do the responsibility well. He will be responsible this time even if he will be sick, or sin against the elderly.
“Heh, Just ask? Little boy, is it the same you want to fight your father?”
“Ngak. I don't want to fight, and you're not my Father!”
“You ...” Basri's greeting wasn't finished when Provinsi interrupted him.
“Yes, right, you used to say I was an illegitimate child! Means I'm not Father's son!”
As soon as he heard what he said, Basri became more and more inflamed and was about to slap, but suddenly his hand hung in the air, another hand held him.
“Enough, Sir!” don't slap or hurt him again, you never want to tell me if your son Winsi, right? So don't torture people's children!” runa said, his face was serious and clutching firmly Basri's hand then, throwing it away just like that, violently..
Basri folded his hands in front of his chest then, nodding his head, he chipped while saying, “Oh. So, you two have the courage now to fight me, huh? Have you been told what you ate at the study? Join njai instead of adding Sholeh but instead become a dissident!”
“Pak! We are not dissidents, just now I want you to be better, not torture Winsi anymore, he's your own biological son!”
As she said so, Runa pulled Winsi in her arms. Looking at her husband with a clear face. His heart was so powerful every time he heard Basri say his son was an illegitimate child.
It is not really the stage to use the word haram for something that is clearly noble. God, the God who created man, says in His book that man is a noble and special creature. So, how could a human say haram to another human being?
Despite being so sick every time her husband said and was rude to himself and his son, she chose to stay. .. no. she was not weak, but waited until her savings were enough to go. He was patient because he hoped that God would pity him and forgive his sins.
Suddenly Basri chuckled, laughing at himself, just now there was a sense of regret for his rude attitude and compassion for these two women simultaneously. But now, he was actually resisted not even finished talking, his wife and son had dared to interrupt. Right now, what he regretted was no longer about his abusive deeds, but his promise when marrying Runa.
Basri had known about information that Runa was brought to the house as a child, but preferred to be a worker because he did not want to be considered to take advantage of the good of others. However, who would have thought, after the two parents were gone, their biological children expelled Runa and sold all their parents' wealth.
Runa was back and had little savings. But then he meets Basri, a kind and friendly truck driver, who is hired by the house dwellers to move their belongings.
At their meeting, Basri offered to help and intended to make his wife, give her a proper place to live, and promised for the rest of her life she would love, and not waste herself living a kara.
Of course Runa welcomed Basri's offer. Because after meeting a few times, made him judge that the man he could rely on.
Finally they got married ..yes, their marriage was very simple because it took place in a religious office and was only witnessed by witnesses and the Basri family. What a sweet memory it was, making Basri a husband, and the only place that could be used as a backup and protection, made him so happy, that he became pregnant two years later. Runa is truly living her perfect marriage.
Then, this day came, where they clashed in a long-standing problem that weighed on their household.
“Do you think you've won by doing this to me? You sinned against your husband, Runa!” Basri shouted back.
“What is sin, sir? I'm just holding your hand so I don't hit your son. That's not sin.” Runa said while looking away, then grunted annoyedly, while returning to say, “Do not blame the study, the wrong is the person who does not want to apply science. You know, it's not being rude to his own wife and children that's also forbidden?”
“Heh! So, you want to teach me, right? No need .. I've been good enough all this time, I kept my word, never evicted you. You should be grateful to have a home, not have to hitchhike! Remember, you have no one here but me. So you have to respect me, you know?”
“Pak, even if you know I have no one, don't be rude like this.”
“I'm also not rude if you are the same this child does not make problems.”
“What kind of problems do you think deserve to hit us? There is none, sir. None! You are the one who does not know!”
Basri paused for a moment, to think that, these two women were indeed weak and were only relying on him. Although, his attitude has been very inhumane, but Runa is still at home and does not ask for a divorce. After that he grinned, realizing that Runa would not leave him because he had nothing, and lived alone without relatives.
He can continue to enjoy his life without having to bother thinking about how to take care and meet the needs of the family. Runa never told him, but he knew his wife had a business trading food if she did not exist. Therefore, he could still live comfortably in the house, although he rarely gave his wife the daily living expenses.
Basri felt that he had given his wife a place to live and a comfortable life before, so it was natural that now Runa returned his kindness, by working to finance their household. As the wife of Runa also still have to obey her, because if you are patient, then the reward obtained is not for others, but for herself as well.
“Dengaf, yes, Runa. Even if you don't like me being angry, or you hate that I beat up Winsi, I will never stop my actions because it's my right to educate you! And remember, never try to leave this house!”
“Why?”
