Bu Anggraeni is Anya's mother, from young she is famous as a beautiful and kind woman. Until now, the beauty line is still clearly visible even though she is not young anymore. At the age of exactly 45 years Bu Anggraeni actually looks more beautiful and unpretentious. Bu Anggraeni's husband, Anya's father, left them when Anya was in fifth grade. Since then Ibu Anggraeni at home widowed. Not that no one wants to be with Bu Anggraeni, many even, but Bu Anggraeni is determined to raise his child without the help of others. He wants his son to succeed by relying on himself. She did it because she loved her daughter and her husband so much. There is no desire in the heart of Bu Anggraeni to marry again.

This morning, coincidentally Sunday, Bu Anggraeni and Anya were gardening in front of the house. Even though their house is not on the side of the road but their home page is very beautiful. The small house is simple, in the natural world grows a variety of ornamental plants and some fruits that are not high but bear fruit. The arrangement is slick, so the 8ndah is seen by the eye. They work while joking, sometimes the mother who teases her child, sometimes the opposite. They seem to love each other.

When they were busy with work, suddenly there was a guest who came, his name was Bu Nandar, a neighbor 2 houses away from their house.

"Assynoltomodel.."

"Waalaikum sallam", they said simultaneously while looking at the sound.

"oooo Bu Nandar, tumben bu early in the morning, what's wrong ? want to buy some soap?" bu Anggraini. Because it is not usual for Ms. Nandar to visit early in the morning.

"Ndak jeeeng, there's a little need for this, but I see you guys are busy, bothering you?"

"Disturbing what Miss Nandar, no, monggo here sit down, I wash my hands first".

Ms. Nandar sat on the terrace seat, waiting for Bu Anggraeni to wash her hands, while Anya stood up to wash her hands and shook hands and kissed Ms. Nandar's hands.

" Erli how's bude doing?" ask Anya to Miss Nandar. Erli is the daughter of Bu Nandar who now lives out of town to follow her husband, she was a playmate of Anya as a child.

"Have been pregnant mba Anya, again 4 months of road, again spoiled with husband, this is actually bude told there, but not yet had time". said Bu Nandar, while sparkling.

"Senen ya bude, already want to have a grandchild?".

"Lha ya seneng really, dah cold hugging child, long ago bude ndak nimang boy". said Bu Nandar, can not hide his happiness.

" Bude Monggo, want to talk to mom, I'm wasting grass".

"Yes Anya Mba, I'm sorry, I interrupted your work".

"Look down bude".

Anya finished cleaning the grass that was still scattered in the yard. But madih was close enough to hear the talk of mothers sitting on the porch.

" Jeng Anggraeni, sorry lo. there is something I want to convey to the panjenenengan".

"What Mba Nandar don't make deg-deg an, just talk".

" A few days ago, his cousin's brother father who lives in the Netherlands would come to the house, he worked and settled there jeng, his wife died 2 years ago, he said, his children were married, so he lived alone at home. Kemaren did not deliberately see Jeng Anggraeni, hmmmm . sorry jeng, he was interested in jeng Anggraeni". Bu Anggraeni was silent and did not say a word. While Anya who was listening while cleaning the plant smiled a subtle knot.

" The point is jeng, Dek Bowo his cousin father, wants to propose to Jeng Anggraeni". Say Bu Nandar carefully.

" I'm sorry Ms. Nandar, not that I refused Mr. Nandar's sister's proposal, but..." Anya segwra cut their conversation.

"OK, that's new, really, to think about it, don't be upset", smiling happily, feeling Anya is on his side.

" Alright Jeng Anggraeni, I wait for the good news one more week yes". Smiling and rolling eyes towards Anya. Anya just smiled slightly, looking at Bu Nandar's flirtatious eyes.

"His mother is lazy to start a relationship, mother is comfortable with the current condition"

" Mommy isn't old yet, Mom still looks young and beautiful, try if you walk with me, surely the people who see us think sister brother, yes no, several times like that right?"

"Anyone is You"

"Well, yeah". Inching closer to his mother.

"Mother has educated enough Anya, mother has survived until now, it has long been lo bu from Anya fifth grade Elementary School, it's time for Mother to make herself happy, she said, Anya can already stand on her own feet, this is all thanks to mother".

" But I feel like I'm betraying your father if I get married again".

" Dad must be happy to see mom finally chose this path, mom has been alone for too long, only for Anya, now is the time for mom to think about herself". Hugging Bu Anggraeni.

"But Him..."

" please mom, be happy with yourself".

" Mom wouldn't have married if you hadn't married"

"Don't worry mom, Anya's pretty, right? surely no longer Anya anyone sleeps too" while laughing.

" Alah yesterday there are those who are dreaming, you do not want to, want to focus on work first, how do you not worry".

"Mother knows Anya, right, Anya is independent, right? what are you worried about, you used to watch Korean dramas, independent Koreans too, right? I am also like them mom, MAN DI RI, happy mom, Anya is happy too".

"Mother won't leave you".

"Who wants to be left, I stay here, even if later the mother follows Mr. Bowo to the Netherlands we can look at each other, there is a Video Call if kangen, why worry".

" The mother's child is getting older" said Bu Anggraenj while hugging her daughter.

One week later Ms. Nandar came again to collect the appointment, and she came home with a sweet smile that fluffed on her lips. One month later Bu Anggraeni officially became the wife of Mr. Bowo. But Bu Anggraeni has a condition for Mr. Bowo, so that he can go home once a month to see his daughter who lives alone in Indonesia. Of course Mr. Bowo does not mind for the sake of his beloved wife.

For one month Bu Anggraeni was still hard to leave for the Netherlands, but Anya always motivated her mother to follow her husband to the Netherlands. Because Mr. Bowo in the Netherlands works in the government, so he cannot take too long leave. Two weeks into their marriage, she had to return to the Netherlands. During his time in Indonesia, Mr. Bowo loved both women who are now his wife and children. Mr. Bowo treated Anya like his own child, so that Bu Anggraeni began to grow love for Mr. Bowo.
