"You guys here? " mama Rosa asked as she opened her eyes, she saw that Aruna and Sabda were already beside her. The woman smiled at her daughter-in-law. Aruna is a good woman.
"Mama, how do you feel?" ask Aruna.
"Mama's just dizzy. Maybe, because every night Mama has trouble sleeping." answered Rosa in a soft tone. Women who usually look tough should also fall ill.
Aruna glanced at Sabda, making the tall man return misbehavior. Aruna's accusatory gaze made Sabda's face turn red.
"Mama don't mind much. If you are sick, many people will be sad" said Aruna, her tiny hand rubbing Rosa's uninfused arm.
"How Mama doesn't mind much. Mama has lost her future grandchildren and your marriage is bobbing like this" Rosa said with a dreamy look. He was indeed sad to think about his son's marriage and Aninditha's return made a long-buried anger now re-ignited.
"I'm sorry Aruna, Ma." continued Aruna. He no longer knew what to say to his father-in-law. Aruna also did not want to give false promises.
"Ma, Sabda will be looking for lunch for us." said Sabda, the man immediately went out of the room leaving two women who really need time to talk to four eyes.
The atmosphere in the room was so serious. Aruna sat next to Rosa who was lying down looking at her. The woman was so dear to Aruna, Rosa also felt how betrayed the two people she trusted.
But on the other hand, she is still a mother. A man who always fights for his son to get the best.
"Mama wants to ask you something, Run." Rosa's words broke the silence between them. Aruna who did not understand her in-laws intent, looked gently at the weakly lying beautiful woman.
" Mama please give the Word a chance. Just once, give your marriage a chance." continued Rosa. The look they see each other. The slightly surprised Aruna looked at the puzzled Mama Rosa.
"Mama can understand how you feel. It is not easy to forgive a betrayal let alone forget it." continued Mama Rosa when she saw Aruna did not budge.
"Mama has felt it too. In fact, it might be more painful." Just the last sentence Mama Rosa made Aruna look up. Staring at the smiling woman with a face of disbelief.
"Really, Ma?" lirih Aruna's. His voice suddenly became hoarse with already teary eyes. Actually he already wanted to cover up his sadness, but still he still could not hold back his cries. Rosa simply answered Aruna with a nod.
"I'm afraid Mas Sabda will cheat again" said Aruna by looking at Mama Rosa.
"Letter however, Mama knows the Word very well, Mama is sure she only loves you, Run. If he fell asleep yesterday, he's just still curious about the past love that isn't over." Rosa tried to persuade.
"Yes, you can think of Mama as selfish. But, that's the truth. A mother will always wish the best for her son." Rosa does not deny that Aruna will consider herself selfish without thinking about her feelings.
Aruna was still silent, especially when Salwa's lecture was heard if a woman would not smell heaven if she demanded a divorce from her husband. How could he deny that? What is the right reason to break that proposition?
Aruna was really worried. Really, just the feeling of love with the Word alone has made him stand between the worry between separation and divorce.
Before marriage, a person may have thought thousands of times to continue the rest of his life with a man of his choice. Even when deciding to split up. He was also at a point of tremendous dilemma, many things he had to convince. About his feelings, about his emotions, the feelings of those closest to him and the life after him.
Aruna sighed softly. He really feels confused. If he were to decide back on the Word, he would be at a new point of struggle. It is setting their hearts and feelings to be able to accept if their marriage has ever been tarnished.
"Run, Mama please! Just one chance. If it does happen again, Mama will support you to separate from the Word." Mama Rosa continued to persuade Aruna until her daughter-in-law finally nodded slowly.
"Aruna will try, Ma." Rosa kissed her daughter-in-law's hand, there were millions of words of gratitude she couldn't say to her daughter-in-law.
After Aruna thought of receiving the Word back, she thought, she had already been hurt so much that her heart might not be whole anymore. But, at least he would try for the people he cared about.
"If one day Mas Sabda cheated again, Aruna would not hesitate to leave" Aruna said steadily.
For Aruna if Sabda is indeed having an affair with his old love it may be that the man has not been able to love himself fully. Though in the end Sabda chose to defend himself.
Unless Sabda is the type of man who is easy to fall in love with new people, maybe Aruna will choose to retreat. Because it is a character that will make men repeat it many times.
Aruna felt wet already living it. He was only once enough to try, rather convince himself of the nature of the man he had chosen to be his priest.
"Mama love you guys. You've already considered Mama's daughter, so Mama will protect you too." Rosa clasped her daughter-in-law's hand so tightly. Many hopes she harbored for her son's marriage without revealing the old disgrace.

"Thank you, still giving a chance to Mas" said Sabda by grasping Aruna's little fingers. His heart was so happy that he could no longer express it in words.
Early in the morning they say goodbye to Mama Rosa if she is going home and Sabda will take care of her work for a while.
"Only once" said Aruna.
"I will try it for the sake of those I love. Though love for me is overcome by the love of my husband's past." circus Aruna. He no longer wanted to talk about his feelings.
The word sighed softly, he did not want to argue anything. In fact he was wrong, he did not realize that his wife had mastered his feelings. But, if he said that at the moment, maybe Aruna just laughed at herself assuming she was lying.
The car stops at a restaurant that has been promised by the bank manager. They will meet to discuss some contracts and deals.
"Let's get off for a minute!" bring Word.
"I'm not good, Mom. It's a matter of working Mas Sabda while I'm just an outsider." Aruna refused. Until finally Aruna came down because the Word just continued to persuade him.
Sabda could see Anin and her manager were already sitting around waiting. From a distance Anin stared intently at the Word who continued to hold Aruna's hand. His face was flushed withstanding such intense jealousy.
"Good day!" said Sabda then sat in front of his two working partners.
"People, Mr. Word." replied Mr. Royan.
They began to submit important sheets as proof of cooperation between them.
Like what the Word said just for a moment they are done with the business of work.
"Well, now his wife is sticking to Mr. Sabda" said Mr. Royan by staring at Aruna non-stop.
"Yes, sir." answered the Short Word. He seemed reluctant to discuss even longer conversations that were not important.
"Maybe afraid her husband glanced at another woman, Maybe it was Bu Sabda." continued Anin. He was making fun of Aruna. The word only holds Aruna's hand from under the table. He did not want to answer so that their affairs would not be long anymore.
"Yes, Mother. You see now many cheap women who prefer to target people's husbands than single men." Aruna's sentence is so sharp makes Anin's face immediately reddened. Yes, Anin did not expect that the graceful woman with gentle temperament was able to retaliate in such a way.
