Grace of Love

New Home

Ivar and Nindi decide not to honeymoon, not to leave Hanna who is very dependent on Nindi after both her parents died. Bringing her in was also not possible as Hanna was busy retiring for the final exam.

Ivar has decided not to occupy the house he has prepared for him and Nindi lives in. Ellie is not willing to let Ivar stay in her new home. Ellie wants Ivar to stay with her and promises not to interfere in Ivar's domestic affairs in the future.

Ivar does not mind, as long as Nindi is comfortable and can accept the decision of his extended family. Ivar believes Nindi can get along with Ellie if she lives together.

A very grand house for Nindi, Hanna is gone leaving Ivar and Nindi into a big house that makes her curious. All the families gathered to welcome the three of them.

Jason is the one Hanna misses the most, the little kid who was thrilled when Hanna asked him to joke. Jason captivated Hanna, and she loved the little sister who will always be in Hanna's life.

“You've come.” Everyone took turns hugging each other.

Although Ellie smiled at Nindi, still Nindi felt Ellie could not sincerely accept her presence. It's not easy, she's just a mother who wants her son to have a bright future.

Nindi catches no other family present. Luna. The beautiful girl that Ellie loves and wishes she was her daughter-in-law. His eyes look puffy, of course. She must be sad Ivar chose her.

“What's up Uncle.” Ivar releases Nindi's hand, welcoming the Prabu family who are currently in his family's residence. I don't know what feeling made Nindi seem to waver as Ivar let go of his grip.

Ivar pulled Nindi to walk with him. “Uncle has never seen Nindi, right? Meet Uncle.” Nindi extended her hand. Prabu warmly welcomed Nindi's hand.

Dwi did the same with Prabu. They looked very kind and sincere, it was fitting that her mother-in-law insisted on marrying her Son to Luna. They are a dignified family. Nindi was a little inferior, there was nothing in her that she could be proud of.

“I go back huh Brother. I want to help Mamah.” Ivar allowed, though his heart was a little unsettled.

Ellie looks very busy, there is also Edel there who is helping Ellie prepare food with some workers.

“Eh..ada newlyweds. Here Nin, help me cut this watermelon. Ivar really likes fruit watermelon.”

Nindi slowly cut the watermelon, a little difficult because of the very thick skin of the watermelon. Ellie, who is not very fond of Nindi, snatches the watermelon from Nindi.

“Sini..sini, this is how long.” Edel was surprised to see Ellie acting so rudely to Nindi. There was nothing Nindi could do, she retreated with a slightly wounded heart.

“Nin, bring this to the front well.” Trays that are already full of market snacks. Edel could not bear to see Nindi being treated harshly by Ellie.

“Mah, why be rude to Nindi.” Ellie didn't tease Edel. “Mah, you'll hurt Ivar if Nindi gets hurt.” Edel was confused by Ellie's rude attitude.

“You know what my son is about. That woman doesn't deserve to be with Ivar.” Saying inappropriate words after the promise he made to Ivar would try to accept Nindi.

“Mah, why are you so evil. I don't know Mamah who has this evil nature.” Edel spoke slowly, but he was eager to scream.

“See you! He just came alone already caused chaos.” Edel shook his head in disbelief seeing Ellie so horribly.

Ivar grabbed Nindi's hand to sit next to her. Ivar looked at Nindi's eyes that were emitting sadness, Nindi tried to hide her feelings with the smile she was trying to convey, but Ivar could read her heart as usual.

“Come please taste, sorry well Dwi, I did not have time to prepare a lot of food.” Ellie said so sweetly, if she had behaved like that to Nindi.

“Nothing Bu Ell, rich same anyone.” Reply to Dwi kindly.

“Iya, I already considered Luna to be my own daughter. Don't be sad, son, another opportunity will surely come dear.” Luna who did not know the meaning of Ellie's words just smiled in response.

No one considers Ellie's words as a sign of her still wanting Luna as her daughter-in-law other than Nindi. He knew very well that speech to insinuate himself.

“Nindi busy what now Nak?” Prabu tried to melt the awkward atmosphere.

“I work at the boutique Kak Edel Pak.” Nindi replied with a tension-filled smile.

“Do not worry too much, everything will be fine in the future.” Prabu spoke softly so that no one would hear his words. It just so happened that Nindi was sitting next to him. Nindi nodded happily, anyone understood her feelings at this moment.

“It turns out Nindi is the sister of Cakra, do you know her?” Prabu.

“Nindi deserves to have her brother's life spirit. He's the greatest man Edwin and I have ever met. Unyielding.” Trying to remember how the chakras live.

“You are the spirit of his life, son, Cakra to do everything possible to make you not lack anything.”

Nindi was so moved that these two great men had memories with Kak Cakra that were so beautiful. Indeed, that is how Cakra lives, Nindi never even felt difficulties when with Cakra.

The conversation continued until the evening. Hanna took Edel to rest with Jason. It's a pity that Nindi and Ivar were bullied while being warmly as newlyweds.

Luna's meetings were silent and occasionally responded to Ellie's flattering conversation. Luna is not tempted because Ivar has rejected her, now she has to open a new page for her and her parents.

“Ellie you are here, Ivar has Nindi. Remember, don't beat up the woman Ivar has chosen. You understand?” Actually, Prabu's message was directed at Ellie who had been praising her daughter in front of Nindi.

Nindi was silent, but surely her heart was sad to see Ellie so close to Luna. The girl Ellie wants to marry Ivar.

“It's okay. right..”

“Already, already. It's true what Prabu said. We also need rest because we are too tired.” Edwin tried to mediate. Fortunately Ivar wasn't there, if Ivar had heard he would have been very angry.

Guests had already left his residence, Edwin invited Ellie to discuss his inappropriate behavior. It was not the discussion that Edwin got, but Ellie's anger that felt everyone loved Nindi more than she did.

“Ellie, listen to me. You'll regret it one day if you don't change. Poor Ivar and Nindi, do you want them to move out of here?”

“Of course not, but in retrospect why I approved their marriage, look at Nindi! He doesn't deserve to be in our family.” Edwin took a deep breath. Since when did Ellie have such a bad view of Nindi.

“I've warned you, if Ivar gets angry and leaves you don't blame me.” Edwin goes in and lets Ellie reflect on what she's doing.

Edwin walked in and saw the sight of Nindi helping the workers finish their work in the kitchen.

“Nak.” Edwin greeted Nindi who was busy struggling with dirty dish laundry.

“Rest darling, let Auntie do it.”

“Mentalnya indeed difficult people.” An inappropriate remark came back out of Ellie's mouth, though slowly Nindi could hear it clearly.

Nindi could only look down to hide the pain of her heart. So far he doesn't know what Ellie looks like. All she knows is that Ellie is a gentle woman that Ivar loves very much.

“Do not take heart, son. Slowly he will love you as he loves Ivar and Edel.” Nindi just looked down, really embarrassed all the workers in the kitchen saw how Nindi was treated.

Everything was silent no one dared to talk to Nindi who must be very messed up.

“Honey!” Ivar's voice from the second floor shouted at Nindi who had not entered her room. “What are you doing there?” Nindi just smiled. “Auntie, don't let Nindi touch your work.”

“Good Mr.” Nindi just smiled, Ivar always makes himself special.

“Sorry yeah, you guys got a problem.”

“Thanks for helping ya Non.”

“Sama-sama Bi.” Nindi fulfills Ivar's impatient call.

Ivar looked at the woman who was slowly approaching him. “Kak! Can I see Hanna for a minute?” Nindi drifts in her senses until she forgets Hanna.

“Of course, don't take long.” Nindi is gone from the circulation of Ivar's eyes.

Tok.tokk...

Nindi stood in front of Edel's tightly shut room. Waiting for the owner to open the door for him.

“Hey Nin, in-entry.” Edel spoke slowly because the children were asleep.

“Hanna I moved to my room only huh Kak.” Edel shakes.

“Don't, just leave it here. Jason really likes Hanna. They're soulmates. Heheheh Nindi smiled.

“Iya let it go, soon Hanna's room is ready. While still under repair let Hanna sleep here with us.” Ayman's words made Nindi no longer able to resist.

“You know Nin, my husband is training just in case we have another child.” Laughter breaks that makes Jason squirm because the tidurnta is disturbed.

“So thank you so much for taking care of Hanna. I'm not feeling good.”

“Don't hesitate Nin, we're brothers. It's appropriate that we take care of each other.” Edel just this time saw her husband talk a lot. It seemed like she wanted to strengthen Nindi's heart that Ayman saw so shaken with Mamah Ellie's attitude towards her.

“Iya Kak, then I go upstairs well.” Nindi had a chance to meet Ivar who was waiting for her in the room.

Slowly Nindi opened the door to keep Ivar from waking up, she was indeed very exhausted. He fell asleep while waiting for Nindi. The man who strengthened Nindi's heart all this time. The man who sustains all his heart. A man who never breaks gives him the confidence to always be able to go better. Nindi hugged the man she loved so much and fell asleep in peace.
