Three days had passed, but the letter that Emely had sent had not received any news. Leon hasn't come to see the floor yet.
"Hasn't Leon received a letter from me, huh? Or has he not read the letter? Or maybe he's reading but doesn't care?" think Emely.
Emely road back and forth. Previously he did not want to eat the rations provided. But he could not resist hunger for days, forced to eat as well.
"Hopefully Leon will come to see me soon" he hoped.
At Leon's house. Mrs Ratih found a long white envelope while cleaning the house. Read from the envelope written from the police, bi Ratih immediately gave his letter to his employer.
"Mrs... Madam.." call bi Ratih while running to the kitchen, because Lily is making cold drinks there.
"Yes, what's up, bi?" lily asked to hear her housekeeper screaming while running away.
"This nemuin tea aunt by the urn, mistress," bi Ratih gave Lily the long white envelope.
As soon as Lily read from the envelope, it was written from the police. Lily opened the envelope, there was a piece of paper there.
Lily read the contents of the letter while sitting in the dining chair.
From Mama:
Leon..
Mama hope you come and see mama to the washroom. Know it? Mama's here holding her hungry. My mom doesn't like the food here. Mama's sorry if what you said yesterday hurt you. But mama realized, hating you was a big loss. Mama doesn't have anyone while you are, Leon.
Leon..
Once again, Mama wishes you had come to see Mama. Mama knows you love mama, don't you? If you love your mother, please prove it by coming to see your mother.
And don't forget, bring the mama the woman's cooking food.
...
Lily smiled reading the last sentence of the letter. It turns out Leon's mom likes his cooking. Merely, the middle-aged woman was too clumsy to admit.
"I'll give you this letter later after Leon gets home from work" the woman said.
Lily brought the letter and the envelope to the room. Not to forget he also brought a cold drink that he had just made and had not had time to drink.

At a restaurant not far from the company where Drew worked. The man was having lunch with Chika.
"Thank you for having lunch with me" said Chika.
"Yes," Drew replied with a brief smile.
"Oh yeah, you got a lot of work today?" tanya Chika tried to open the topic.
"Lumayan."
Chika nodded her head. It is fitting that his cousin called Drew with a dry Kanebo, it turns out that Drew is very rigid people. But it's okay, just stone if the water tetesi can be hollow, especially just kanebo.
"mmm.. You don't intend to ask me a question? Where are you going after this? Where do you live? Is there no such question in your mind?"
Drew swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that it's too hard to just say such questions.
"Hm, yeah. I heard you live in France. When do you want to go back to France?"
Chika opened her mouth astonished at the question.
"So you expect me to go back to France?"
"Bu-not like that. I-I mean, are you going to stay in Indonesia for a long time?"
"If so, it looks like I'll just stay here. I'm not going back to France."
"It's good if that's the case" said Drew keceplosan.
"Good?"
"Em, that's not what I meant. But-"
"Don't change your answer. I liked your answer just now," Chika trimmed.
Drew looked nervous and misbehaved. In his heart he cursed, why could he give such a bold honest answer.
"Can I ask you something?" pinta Chika's.
"Hm, yeah. What's?"
"Can I not meet your mother? I think I should get acquainted and be closer to your mother" Chika replied.
It felt like Drew's mouth was very difficult to move, there was no reason for him to refuse. He is happy, but he is not good at expressing his pleasure.
"If I could have tonight?"
"Ah, yes. Be able. I can," Drew replied unconsciously.
"Ok, thank you," said Chika happily.
Drew scratched his nape that was not itchy, he could have given such an answer.
Cihka propped up her chin using both palms on the table. His eyes continued to look at the cute Drew because the man could not be silent and clearly looked wrong.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." Someone's greeting made Lily stop reading the magazine.
Lily got up from her seat and walked over to Leon who had just returned from work.
"Walaikumussalaam." she answered while kissing the back of the man's hand.
"A special cook again?" leon asked, the smell of very delicious cuisine came from the kitchen.
"Specialty from bi Ratih," replied Lily.
Leon touches the tip of Lily's pointy nose hearing his wife's answer.
Lily invited her husband to sit down for a while on the living room sofa. Leon wondered what was going on with his wife.
Lily nodded too. "iii... Not."
"Then what?"
Lily picked up a piece of paper she had tucked inside the magazine. Then give it to Leon.
"What'sthis? Love letter?"
"Read it."
Seeing his wife's serious facial expression, Leon did not continue to make jokes. He immediately unfolded the paper and showed a handwriting.
It was not until one minute that Leon finished reading the letter.
"This is serious about my mom?" ask Leon to make sure.
"Bi Ratih found the envelope near the urn, and as soon as I opened the contents of the letter from Mama Emely."
Leon was silent for a moment.
"Amplop near the urn?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Leon remembered, the envelope that Lily meant was the envelope that the security of her house had previously provided.
"Oh yes I did. A few days ago security thanks me envelope, I got a call from Drew and I put it near the urn. After that I forgot because I was busy making love" explained Leon.
"Love with whom?"
"With my wife, I. Who else is it?"
Both of Lily's cheeks blushed. If you talk about making love, somehow it feels like he is still shy.
"Tomorrow we look at Mama Emely, yes. Mama Emely will ask to bring her daughter-in-law's cooking food," asked Lily.
"Let me go there. You stay home" replied Leon.
"I want to come. Besides missing you, Mama Emely also misses my cooking. So, I still want to come," said Lily sternly.
Leon exhaled a slightly rough breath.
"I'm afraid mama hurt your feelings with her words again, baby. I'm not banning you, I'm just trying to protect you" Leon said.
Lily grabbed Leon's hand, and she held it.
"I know your mom hates me so much, Leon. But have you forgotten, it's only a matter of time. Mama Emely has cooked me, and it doesn't rule out the possibility that Mama Emely will like me too."
"But, baby-"
"You don't have to worry. I never felt hurt by Mama Emely's words, after all. She is your mother, my mother-in-law. I'm sure, Mama Emely must have accepted me as her daughter-in-law, albeit slowly. Because everything needs a process, as long as we want to try," said Lily wise.
Leon was always amazed by his wife's words. Lily can always keep her heart cool, calm and peaceful. Hopefully, her mother can feel that way too.
"Yes, baby."
Leon hugs Lily and brings her into the arms. He kissed the top of his wife's head deep and long enough.
"This is what makes me fall more in love with you, Lily Gradelie bin Tio," said Leon in a welcome smile that expands on the woman's lips.

Next day.
Early in the morning Lily woke up cooking to take her to the toilet to visit her mother-in-law. Lily also intends not only to bring food for her mother-in-law, but for her father-in-law as well.
"Cock there are two?" leon asked as soon as he saw there were two bags containing large food boxes.
"To Mama Emely and papa Xander," the woman replied.
Leon cringing. "For papa too?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Leon looked at his wife's face that looked very excited. She wondered if Lily didn't hate her parents at all? After what they did to him.
"It doesn't feel fair if we just do good to Mama Emely. Papa Xander deserves a chance."
"You don't hate my papa, either?"
Lily shook her head. "What do I hate?"
"My father even intends to kidnap you."
Lily smiled at Leon's response.
"Everybody has made a mistake. And everyone deserves a chance to improve themselves. I'm sure, no matter how bad Papa Xander is, there will be times when he changes and realizes" Lily said wisely.
"I don't know what your heart is made of. You're so good to everyone, including the people who hurt you."
"We are taught to always be kind to everyone. Even people who don't know. You just wanted to help me when I was almost in the Mongol spell, when you didn't know me at the time, did you?"
Leon smile. "Although in the end something wrong ends up being a good destiny. Aye, right?" added Leon.
"That's destiny. It would be wonderful if we as human beings were able to accept whatever happens even if it is bad. God's plan is beautiful."
"I'm really grateful to be given a wife like you. I'm not a good person, but God can give me a very good person."
"Good people aren't always for good people. The wicked are not always with the wicked. Not infrequently also out there, a person whose religious knowledge is high gets someone who is so despicable in the eyes of humans. But not in God's eyes. The opposite is true."
"Yes, baby.."
Leon and Lily decided to go straight to the garage. They will first go to the yard where Mama Emely is held, after that it is only to the yard where papa Xander is.
