This time Aretta went straight to her boarding house. No more going home to her mother-in-law. He prefers to live in a small room with all its comfort. Rather than having to live in a big house, but there is no peace at all.
Aretta had already laid herself in bed, after cleaning up some boarding work that had piled up because she was left staying overnight.
Kriyiv. . .
Mother, the name written on the front screen.
"Hallo, ma!" Greet Aretta after pressing the green button on her phone.
"Check, uhuk. Hello Aretta!" Greet mom from across the phone.
"Mother why? Mommy sick?" Aretta asked in an anxious tone.
"Yes, Are. . . Three days I was sick! You can go home first, right? I miss you."
"Yes, mom. Are home tomorrow, huh?"
"Mom wait, huh?"
"Yes, ma'am." Aretta shut down her phone, after mom first did it.
Aretta immediately asked Della for permission not to work for one day. Counting only the days left to work. So Aretta can't ask permission for too long.
Aretta also did not forget to ask her husband's permission, to meet her mother in her hometown. As usual, Leo did not mind Aretta's request.

Aretta had arrived at the mother's residence after traveling for approximately three hours by public transportation. He rushed into the unlocked home. There he found the mother sitting in the multipurpose room.
"Mom!" Aretta immediately hugged the mother without giving the mother a gap to say anything.
For a moment, Aretta felt a warm embrace of her mother that she had not felt for a long time.
"Sorry, ma'am!" Aretta started sobbing in mom's arms.
"I'm sorry for what?" Mom releases Aretta's embrace.
"Are can't be a good boy. In fact, when you're sick, Are can only nengokin now."
"Hush, you don't have to apologize! It's not all your fault!" Mother rubbed gently the cheeks of her son who began to shed tears.
"But Are feeling guilty, ma'am! Are really a useless kid!"
"Have it, don't talk about it again? I just want Are here for a second. Miss kangen!"
"Have you eaten yet? Are making porridge, huh?" Aretta enthusiastic.
"Yes, can. I haven't eaten you in a long time!"
"Mother wait here! Are make it first!"
Aretta rushed to the kitchen to make the mother porridge. A lot has changed in my mother's home. The house that was once only grounded, has now been turned into a ceramic floor, although not too luxurious like the house of most people.
Some interiors have changed a bit. Items that are not fit to wear are no longer visible. There are only contemporary items that stick to the kitchen of today's mother. That was all of course thanks to Aretta's hard work during her time working in city B.
His determination to improve the condition of the mother's house, has paid off. Therefore, I really allow Aretta when she will be proposed to Leo.

"Mom, someone wants Are to talk about!" Aretta said moments before Leo would visit his father's house for the first time, by phone.
"What do you want to say? It looks serious!" Ask the mother when she hears her son talking seriously.
"If there is a man who is seriously interested in Are, how is ma'am? Do you agree?" Aretta said in half doubt.
"Waaah, the mother's son is getting married apparently!" Mom teased Aretta instead.
"Are serious, ma'am! Are afraid that you won't be able to be happy!"
"Ehm, horrifying mom. You have sacrificed a lot for my mother. In fact, I am very grateful to you. Mother's home is now good thanks to you. If anyone wants to propose to you now, I don't mind. Instead, the mother is happy, because the mother's child already wants responsibility. So, you don't have to worry anymore!" Mother explains.
"Thank you very much, ma'am! It feels like, now Are wants to hug mom!"
Such was the little discussion between the daughter who asked permission from her mother. When a man will ask for it.

"Are bribes yes, ma'am?" Aretta scoops the porridge and points it at the mother's mouth.
I just nodded slowly to answer her daughter's offer.
Carefully, Aretta feeds the mother little by little.
"Oh yeah, how's Leo?" Ask your mom in the middle of chewing her food.
"Good, mom! Almost every hour he's nelfonin!"
"Name is also the newlywed! Must have wanted to keep going. Oh, ja. You have no plans to go with Leo? As for him, no one's taking care of him!"
"Actually, Are wants to resign from work ma'am. Leo asked for it! Mom's not pa-pa, is she?"
"Yes, not pa-pa. Time to take her husband, mother forbid. Now, your priority is a husband, so whatever he wants, do you do it? As long as it doesn't violate the religious shari'at."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Aretta hugs mom.
"Not keep thinking about mom! You can still sell! You focus on your husband!" My mother smiled saying it.
"Yes, mom. Later also the plan, Leo wants to pick you up here!"
"Oh, huh? I have to prepare food if so. Leo likes what?"
"Not bother ma'am! Leo just wants to look at me, really! After all, I'm sick again."
"Mother is sick. I just miss you."

A little while before Aretta decides to return to her hometown.
"Leo, I'm going to talk serious!" Say Aretta over the phone.
"So seriously, what the hell are you talking about?" Leo was curious about his wife's statement.
"Mother's sick, I gotta go home."
"Continue?"
"Gue wants permission! Could it be, if I go home to B's tomorrow morning?"
"Will she be a wife?" Leo teases Aretta.
"You mean?" Aretta did not understand what Leo said.
"Yes, the wife of a college will always ask permission from her husband first if going anywhere."
"Serious cave, Leo!"
"Gue's serious too, I'm going!"
"So, don't you let me?"
"Yes, I'm allowed. But tomorrow afternoon I'll pick you up?"
"Where to pick?"
"Yes take me to my mother's house. I also want to be a good daughter-in-law!"
"Oh, that. Yeah, I'm waiting at mom's house tomorrow afternoon, okay?"
"Okay, baby!" Leo turned off his phone.

Tok, tock, tock
Mom's door was knocked.
"Let Are open, ma'am!" Aretta moved from her seat. Opening the front door of the mother's house that was knocked by someone.
"Eh, there's Aretta!" Said the person who knocked on the door when they found out that Aretta was opening the door.
"I. . Yes. What's wrong mom?" Aretta asked nervously as she looked at the guests who had come. A woman who is no stranger to him. In fact, his heart was beating faster than usual when he saw the female figure that was currently in front of him.
