Time passes so fast. There are many problems that have happened and must be faced. Likes and sorrows, come and go without being asked, or avoided. Because really, that's how it should be. There is a balance in life.
Only man himself who is cage-kennang, do not feel all that, because it only considers the thing that makes it suffer, more prominent than the likes and happiness they feel. In fact, the happiness felt is more than the sadness, but people are claimants and only remember the sadness and distress, rather than the pleasure and happiness they feel.
That's what happens to us, ordinary people.
Just like how Sofie's mother feels today. He felt the loss of Yasmin, because he had to part with his son again. His favorite son had to go on to become a TKI again, in the country of Taiwan, and it was because of Yasmin's misguided love. Yasmin's love for Wawan, which was balanced with her common sense.
It is regrettable by all of Yasmin's family and Sofie's mother in particular. But because that is how it is possible, the path that Yasmin must walk for the process of self-maturity, in order to become a better human being and not selfish anymore.
"Mom" called her husband, Edi's father, from the direction of the central hall.
But, Sofie's mom just stayed at the dinner table. Not doing anything, even though there were two glasses of warm tea in front of him, because Edi's father had asked him to make warm tea.
"Mom, where's the tea?" shouted Edi's father who was still sitting in the middle room, holding his phone.
But because there was no word from his wife, Edi's father looked up, and turned to the dining table, where his wife was.
"Oh, instead of daydreaming," muttered Edi's father, standing from his seat.
Edi's father walked closer to where his wife was. He said because, his wife was not crying, just silent with an empty look.
To prevent his wife from being shocked when he reprimanded or touched, Edi's father removed two warm tea glasses in front of Sofie's mother. After that, he just held his wife's hand, then asked, "Mom. You all right?"
"Eh, emhhh. tea, tea. Man_where's the tea Dad?" sofie's mother replied stammeringly. She felt surprised because suddenly her hand was held by her husband and asked about something that had nothing to do with his request earlier.
"That tea is there. I asked Mom, what are you doing?" edi's father replied, asking also with his wife's attitude.
"Eh, emhhh. It's Well, anu, emhhh... I'm not doing anything" replied Sofie's mother again, with a very clear nervousness, if she's not okay.
"Not to think about Mom. Leave Yasmin the path she decides. Perhaps he would be much better off, if he were away from family rather than close he could not think as an adult. Perhaps, Yasmin's maturation process, was different from the others. Dad's okay, if the departure brings good to himself and all of us. I do not want, the events of yesterday-yesterday, will be repeated again and again. Moreover, this was because one person alone was the cause. Do you want it to happen to Yasmin, if not Anjani?" ask Edi's father, open his wife's mind, so as to put yourself in the position of Anjani with Yasmin.
Sofie's mother looked puzzled, even though she was silent. That was already the answer to the question posed by her own husband.
"So a sincere mother, huh? let Yasmin be calm at work and can change as well. I hope, I think of Sekar too. Wouldn't the parents of her boyfriend come tomorrow? so the mother must be prepared, to welcome the arrival of new besan and new daughter-in-law as well. Hopefully this time, everything will be fine and nothing will happen the same as Yasmin. Sekar has been more careful in choosing a partner, so I hope, I no longer compare Sekar with Yasmin or his candidate Sekar with Abhimanyu. I should know, if everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages."

In Bogor, Nanda was playing around with Ara, who was currently learning to walk. He happily invited his cousin to play on the side porch close to the house cafe. He taught Ara Ara to speak, but he himself was not fluent in pronouncing the word.
"Dek Ala, this is a doll. Her name is Ala!"
Nanda pointed to a doll, which was brought yesterday by her grandmother, Sofie's mother, during a visit to Bogor.
Ara who did not understand, just laughed happily at the doll that was now in her hands.
Baby sitter, just look at and watch over the two of them, and don't talk. He felt that Nanda also did not want to be interfered with by others, if she was teaching Ara. Because Nanda will sulk, if the baby sitter to help her teach Ara, if she is with him.
Just like yesterday when Ara played with Lego, and Nanda composed it. Because there is a mistake in mentioning the color, and the baby sitter corrects, Nanda instead becomes sulky and does not want to continue to play. He went to the fish pond by himself and did not want to be invited back to play with Ara.
To the baby sitter, Anjani only advised that the two of them, just watched if they were playing. "Originally nothing puts the two of them in danger and stays safe, let the two of them interact in their own way."
That's what Anjani told her baby sitter. She did not want, if her children were, to grow up in a state of restraint or to feel too closely watched. He wants them to grow up like children.
"Besok besal Nanda will take care of Ala, if there is something evil to Ala, Nanda who is opposed to Mbak," Nanda told her baby sitter.
The baby sitter simply nodded and smiled, hearing Nanda's mature words.
"What would Nanda have grown up to be?" ask the baby sitter, who wants to know how Nanda's mind behaves like that of an adult.
"You're like Abhimanyu's father. You can take care of all those who are nearby. Abhimanyu's father is good, isn't he? Nanda wants to be like Abhimanyu's father..."
Baby sitter smiled to himself, hearing Nanda's serious reply with her cute and adorable facial expression.
"If you want to be like Abhimanyu's father, Nanda must learn a lot and be taught a good. Can't do it either! If you like to snack, it will not be as good as Abhimanyu's father," said the baby sitter, advising Nanda.
Nanda listened to the advice of the baby sitter seriously. She also nods her head a sign if she understands what the baby sitter is saying.
