"You happy?"
"Happy grandma. Ine senaaaang." Said the girl with her cheerful face smiling widely while holding a teddy bear that was held in front of her body.
"Next time we go again?" Ambar replied with a sweet smile does not show the look of a fierce face or jutek as usual. Somehow he felt happy to be with his grandson from his deceased son.
"Then we go inside Grandma's house, Ine stays at grandma's house right?" Ask Ambar while holding a small hand Ine followed by her nanny while carrying several paper bags in both hands. Ine immediately stopped her steps looking back at the nanny's face.
"Don't worry, grandma will tell your mama!" Persuading Ambar to stare at his granddaughter's nanny immediately turned to look at her granddaughter who was staring at him with innocent eyes.
"Ok grandma." Ine sumringah answered with a happy smile.
.
.
"Mother." Call someone from inside Ambar's mansion.
Ambar turned to look at the voice still holding Ine's tiny hand.
"What's wrong?" Johan was a little surprised to see his mother holding a little girl known to Johan. He turned to look at the little girl with a faint smile but at once the look on his face changed when he remembered who the little girl was.
"Can we talk?" Johan asked which sounded like a commanding tone.
"Dear one." Ambar lowered his body to match Ine's height.
"Yes grandma."
"Ine now shower first with mbak yes, grandma wants to talk to you first." Persuade Ambar while glancing at the nanny Ine who immediately nodded in understanding.
"He's Ine?" Ine asked plainly.
"Yes, greetings to you first."
"How are you?" Sapa Ine immediately faced towards Johan greeting politely.
"good. Can you let me talk to Grandma?" Pinta Johan with her sweet smile.
"Om good." Answer Ine.
"Bi." Call Ambar to one of his house assistants.
"Show me my grandson's room I told you to prepare yesterday!" Tell Ambar.
"Good mistress."
The three of them left the family room leaving the child and mother.
"We're just talking in my office, Mom!" Invite Johan to walk to his study while he still lives in his mother's mansion. Ambar, though, dislikes following his son's steps.

"What do you mean you brought the boy here?" Johan asked immediately after the door was shut tightly by his mother.
"Although that's the case, he still has no right, ma'am. He was a child born out of wedlock. In religious law, an out-of-wedlock child is not entitled to the estate of the deceased sibling." Johan did not like to be patient.
"You're going to say the granddaughter of the illegitimate child's mother, are you?" Ambar did not accept.
"It's not so mom. My wife doesn't even know about the kid. What would happen if he found out about it? Can't you appreciate my wife's feelings?" Johan said to understand his mother.
"Mom doesn't care. He's barren can't give you a son. Don't blame me for loving your granddaughter!" Sardonic Ambar.
"Astaghfirullah.my wife is not barren mother, only sick, and her disease has also been treated and operated on. The doctor said my wife still had a chance to have a child despite waiting for some more time." Bela Johan did not believe her mother sentenced her to barrenness, even doctors did not say anything after the surgery. If the routine treatment and control she is sure to get pregnant with healthy and safe despite having to wait for some time.
"Just the same. When's? Until mom died. Your own mother told me to get married again to have children do not want. Ah... How about you marry Ine's mother?" Ambar's proposal spontaneously flashed that idea in his mind.
"Geez mother, until whenever I say, I will not betray my wife by remarrying or divorcing her to marry anyone. I love my wife Mom. We love each other. We're also working on a child program after treatment." Johan.
"Until when. It's up to you, I'll force your wife to let you remarry if she doesn't have children for the next year." Ambar immediately stood up after saying so.
"What does mother mean? Don't say anything to my wife!" Johan raised his voice intonation.
"Oh you're starting to dare yell at your mother? Who told you to? Your wife? Fucking son-in-law, barren daughter-in-law, unlucky carrier. If only the inheritance wasn't for her I wouldn't have a daughter-in-law like her." Umpat Ambar is upset staring nyalang at Johan.
"Istighfar istighfar's mother! What's wrong with you saying those bad words to my wife?" Said Johan trying to patiently hear his mother's curse on his wife which of course very hurt his heart too, especially if his wife heard directly his mother's bad words about his wife.
"Why? It was in fact, what the woman had produced aside from her small boutique. If I could, I would've told you to divorce her or at least told her to divorce you." Ambar's increasingly sarcastic and rude speech full of swearing shows his dislike of Karina.
"Istighfar ma'am, istighfar..." Persuade Johan unable to get angry at his mother and release yells louder at the woman who gave birth to him.

At that time Karina who was resting in her husband's room in her mother's mansion came out of the room after waking up after returning from the hospital earlier. Her husband invited her to visit his mother because he had not met for a long time hoping to improve the relationship between his wife and mother.
Karina couldn't resist other than following her husband's invitation. Now she went down the stairs to look for her husband and happened to feel thirsty and wanted to take water in the kitchen. But not yet in the kitchen she passed through the workspace of her husband who happened to have to pass it if he had to go to the kitchen accidentally heard the voice of people talking.
Karina felt recognizing the voice of her husband that was starting to tighten. Makes Karina unwillingly approach her husband's workspace to divorce if the two get into a fight. She doesn't want her husband to break up with her mother. Because it was impossible for anyone other than her mother-in-law to talk to her husband in the mansion.
Suddenly Karina's heart felt squeezed, her chest felt tight. His lower abdomen began to feel pain when he heard his mother-in-law mention as a barren woman and also a pesky carrier woman. Karina's tears suddenly burst unbearable. Although she knew her mother-in-law did not like her, she still respected her mother-in-law. But he did not think that such was the judgment of his mother-in-law about him.
Karina retreated to the back feeling her legs limp if only behind her there was no table she would have fallen backward because she was unable to stand so sick to hear the bad words she had in her eyes her in-laws.
O Allah, what is my fault and sin that he hates me so much. Forgive my sin if my mother-in-law doesn't like me so much God. Hiks...Inner Karina tried to muffle her crying voice that began to sound a small sobbing.
Did I give up my husband for the happiness of my mother-in-law God. Letting my husband marry another woman of my mother's choice, God. Karina's inner increasingly felt torn to shreds making her feel throbbing pain in the lower abdomen of her former surgery.
Karina ran away from her mother-in-law's mansion. He's gone, he wants to run, he wants to leave everything. She hoped God would forgive her for leaving without her husband's permission.
"Where is the young lady going?" Asked the aunt who saw the face of her young mistress was not okay. Karina did not touch him. Bibi actually wanted to chase after him but he still brought a tray of food to be delivered to Ine's room.
