The Indigo Plus In-Law Fisted
#44. Vina is acquainted with Beni
"Vin, can I talk?" asked Tuti.
"What the hell, brother, why such a condolence. Just talk if you want to talk. I think we just met yesterday!", Vina confused Tuti so please talk to Vina.
"Look Vin, I have a middle-aged sibling. Been a widower for a long time. But his son is all married, only the youngest child is still in school equivalent to High School. Don't be afraid Vin, my brother is widowed because his wife has died, not because of divorce", Tuti started his chat.
"Keep what relation brother tell me the life story of Brother sister?", Vina question mark feel confused.
"hmmm. Iya-iya has nothing to do.", Tuti grimace.
"But....Vin. I mean, my brother has been a widower for a long time, meaning that in my brother's old age, someone accompanied and cared for him when he was sick, I want to match you with my Brother. You want to not?", Tuti tried to match Vina with her biological brother.
"Sorry, I am not thinking about finding a new husband. I want to focus on taking care of Clara, I hope Clara can go to high school. So that her life could be better than mine", Vina refused Tuti's offer.
"Vin, you just know my brother. If suitable, please continue your relationship to the marriage. If it is not suitable, do not force it. You'll end your relationship", Tuti gives you a solution.
"Yes, brother, if so. But brother do not expect much yes, Do not hurt brother if for example we can not continue yes, our relationship is also not so good. Because indeed I have not intended to be married", Vina is firm and does not give hope to Tuti.
"Yes Vin. You just calm down. Don't worry, our relationship will still be good" Tuti assured Vina.
"Then I'll have my brother come here tomorrow. Are you ready and willing to meet my brother?" Tuti wants to know.
"Yes sister, I'm willing", Vina agreed to Tuti's wishes.
"No matter what he tried, later refused to continue even not tasty relationship later with sister Tuti", thought Vina in his heart.
****
The next day Beni came to Tuti's house.
"Eh brother, it has come apparently. For a moment brother just wait here.I call Vina first yes", Tuti let Beni, his biological brother sit while Tuti called Vina from his side of the house, because now Vina lives a few houses from Tuti's house.
"Yes Tuti. I actually feel insecure. And not sure if Vina will accept me. Because I am old. Who would want to be the same old widower as me", Beni felt not confident in his match with Vina.
"That's bang, don't be so insecure. Must be confident and spirit. If Vina doesn't want it, it's okay. We are not forcing Vina. What was wrong in trying first", Tuti gave encouragement and support to his brother, Beni.
"I want to call Vina first yes, Brother don't go first. Brother must fight, do not give up before fighting", Tuti convinced Beni. Beni was just a sign of mangosteen agreeing with the words of Tuti.
Tuti leaves Beni and intends to call Vina to meet with Beni.
Not long Tuti also came with Vina. Clara was left with her neighbor and played with the neighbor's son.
But after speaking a lot. Beni is open, attentive and nurturing. Beni tells a lot about why his wife died and his struggle to care for his long-sick wife.
Beni's struggle to send her children and marry her children. Beni has also been a long widower, because he still wants to fight for his children.
Far from being responsible for Radit's wife and children.
Vina becomes sympathetic and interested, that Beni is a dream husband figure. From the Beni brothers, Beni told me that they have a brother who is fairly successful and has a successful child as well.
And the Beni brothers also have a large land in the village. Beni also hopes that later he will stay in the village, so that life is calmer, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
In the city of Beni, he opened a stall selling drinks, tea, coffee, milk and fried noodles and noodle soup. Warung Beni is a tongkrongan stalls of the fathers, and the youth, open from noon until late at night.Please sell well, so that Beni can send his son to a higher level.
"Vin, Brother has told you a lot about your brother's family. It's up to you to go on or we've got our relationship here.
Brother didn't force you Vin. Don't you feel bad for me or Tuti. You don't have to give me an answer now Vin.
Or we as friends first. So that you can explore the nature of Brother and sure to want to live with Brother. So it's okay Vin" Beni tells his wish to Vina.
"Yes bang, we know each other first. I also want Clara to accept Brother. And whether the brothers' children can also accept me as their mother" Vina gave a decision.
"Alright then Vina, Brother is happy to hear that. At least you still give hope to Brother", Beni is excited and full of confidence to continue to get to know each other.
"You yourself. Why are you widowed?, has your husband died?", asked Beni curiously.
"I'm ashamed to tell the story of my life bang", Vina refused to tell the story.
"It's okay Vin, why should you be ashamed. If we are going to be married, we must accept the shortcomings and advantages of our partner. No one is covered up, causing problems or misunderstandings", Beni gives an idea.
"My husband left us and never came back or found out about our news for 3 more years.
Husbands prefer to live with their parents rather than with their wives and children. My mother-in-law did not consider me to be her son-in-law and Clara to be her granddaughter.
I was considered an unpaid maid. Mother-in-law is very stingy and calculating.
I chose to separate from the mother-in-law, it turns out that the tactics in-laws agreed, so that finally could persuade and seduce the husband to separate me forever", Vina told me with a sad face and almost shed tears.
"It's okay if you want to cry, it's Vin. Since it will slightly reduce your heartache and burden", Beni comforted Vina.
