"Are you sure we're going straight to your in-laws' house?" Reina asked Alea.
"Yes" replied Alea confidently.
"But it's night already" exclaimed Reina reminded, how disrespectful to visit at the wrong time like now.
"It's okay, Madam Rei. Mama must have understood after hearing the explanation, Lea."
The debate between the two brothers was only listened to by Deri, while driving his vehicle to their original destination, which was the house of Radit's parents. If Alea already has a difficult desire to be diverted, that's what Deri understands since helping Alea become a spy.
Two versus one, of course Reina lost the vote. Moreover, Bagas also supported Alea's decision before the man decided not to interfere when Alea went to see her mother-in-law. Inevitably, Reina ended up following Alea's wishes.
This is where they are now, in the residence of Radit's parents. Waiting for the homeowner to open the door, after they tried knocking several times.
"Alea." call Radit's mom as soon as she sees her favorite daughter-in-law standing at the door.
Her tone sounded slightly surprised, seeing Alea's presence at an inopportune time to visit. Now it was said late at night, the mother of Radit was sure if something had happened to her daughter-in-law.
"Mama" replied Alea who immediately hugged her mother-in-law.
One year and seven months into being the daughter-in-law of this tender-hearted woman, made Alea feel like she had a mother again, which she had not had since the age of fifteen. It also makes Alea do not mind, when Radit asked him to help finance his mother's life.
The feeling unfortunately has existed since she was Radit's lover. Radit's excellent mama's welcome when he first met her, made Alea quickly familiar and close. They often spent time cooking and eating together while Alea was visiting, even today. From her mother-in-law, Alea can understand food and what is Radit's favorite.
"Let's go in, we'll talk inside." Radit's mom took Alea.
Radit's mother also addressed Reina and Deri who drove Alea.
"What's up, kid. Where's your husband?" ask mama Radit.
"Did you fight with Radit, son?" mama Radit asked again as soon as she saw Deri enter with two suitcases.
"Sorry Ma, Lea's bothering mama tonight." Alea replied.
"Alea came to leave the clothes and belongings of your son." pointed Alea at the suitcase and some cardboard boxes containing Radit's personal belongings.
"Alea... Lea could no longer live with her son" Alea said slightly. Her tears were reminiscing in her eyes. But Alea promised she would never cry again for this farewell.
"Lea's sorry, Ma. Lea couldn't keep up with my mother's request, to continue to accompany her." Alea continued.
"Lea." call Radit's mom whose eyes are in tears. He was sure the problems his son and son-in-law faced were not ordinary problems.
"This is not Lea's wish, Ma. But it was your son who forced Lea to make this decision."
"What's really going on, baby? Radit hurt you?" ask mama Radit streak.
Alea nodded confirming, "It's not just pain, Ma. Even he scratched an enormous wound in Alea's heart." Alea replied.
Mama Radit pulled Alea into his arms. She could already imagine, what her son had done to Alea. Until Alea decided to split up, Radit must have made a big mistake. Mama Radit knows what Alea looks like? He also knows what kind of Radit is?
"He was having an affair with his office mate, Ma" Alea told her mother-in-law.
Mama Radit could only take a deep breath at Alea's reply, letting go of her embrace and looking fixedly at her daughter-in-law's face.
Mama Radit who knows the nature of her son, had doubts with Radit's explanation. But Alea's husband reassured her, and Alea continued to visit him and told him nothing about Radit. The truth is now, what he suspected and feared is now happening. Radit lied to her and went back to acting like he used to.
"You sure?" ask Mama Radit to make sure.
"Do you have to separate, son?" ask Mama Radit again.
Honestly she was very sad, if Alea was no longer her daughter-in-law. Of all the girls Radit has ever introduced to her, Alea is the only one who touches her heart. Alea was very polite, both her attitude and the manner of wearing Alea. Therefore, mama and papa Radit immediately approved of Alea, when he first met.
"Sorry Ma, Lea can't forgive what she's done."
Alea started telling everything that had happened over the past seven months to Radit's mom. Starting from the change of Radit after returning home from out of town, then what Alea did to understand Radit, including allowing Radit to lend money in the bank and Alea who finally financed the needs of Radit's mother. Alea also recounts how she spied on Radit, and collected evidence of Radit's affair. Until tonight, she caught Radit wet with Hana.
Mama Radit shook her head in disbelief, her son not only hurt Alea, but also hurt her. This time Radit completely missteps, his son's actions this time further than ever before. Alea chose to separate.
"Why didn't you tell mama in the first place, Alea?" sorry mama Radit.
"Mama can remind Radit as always, if you know. So that he is not misguided too far like this." continued Mama Radit.
But the words of Radit's mother caught the attention of Alea, Reina and also Deri.
"As usual? So this isn't Radit's first time cheating?" reina asked to be more sure what Mama Radit meant.
Mama Radit nodded, "Before they were married, Radit had cheated on Alea several times" she replied.
Mama Radit tells how Radit behaved before marrying Alea. His son had several other lovers besides Alea at the same time.
"But every time Radit goes wrong, Mama always tries to remind him to learn to be faithful."
"Sorry Lea, if mama covers up this matter is just like you. Mama just doesn't want you to leave Radit."
Disappointed, that's what Alea felt as soon as she heard the explanation of Radit's mother about Radit who had always been suing him. Alea cursed at her own stupidity, so stupid she didn't know all that. Is it because of love?
"When you're getting married, Radit's working with you. He said you were his last adventure looking for love. No woman is faithful and loves her sincerely except you."
"He promised me mom and dad, he would be faithful and always try to make you happy. One of them is by creating your dream home."
Alea could only silently hear Mama Radit's explanation. As for the matter of home, Alea confirmed what her mother-in-law had said. Radit did prove that, even Alea was complacent with what Radit had given her all along. From getting engaged to marrying the affection Radit Alea felt continued to grow. Even after marriage, the love never decreases. He felt it continue until they celebrated their first marriage.
"For Radit, you have everything he's looking for and he's cursed, Lea." explains Radit's mom again, she hopes Alea can stay with Radit forever.
Unfortunately, Mama Radit's hopes will not be realized. Hearing the story about Radit who had often cheated on him for a long time, made Alea more convinced by her decision to divorce. If it is a trait, it is difficult to change. That's what Alea understood. If he forgives this time, the same incident could happen again, again and again.
"Mama understands and understands if you ask to separate. Mama will respect whatever your decision is" said Radit, who believes Alea will stick to her decision to split.
"But mother please. Never forget Mama, Lea." mama Radit's love.
"No, Mama will be Leah's mother, Ma." Alea replied.
