"Mother La..," Dita came and took Sheila's hand and kissed her, not as usual who immediately hugged.
"You're so smart," Sheila said crouched rubbing Dita's head. Dita just hugged Sheila. "Mother who taught me to always kiss an older man's hand."
Ariana raised her two eyebrows upwards while Sheila stared lazily towards the side. Mikael reached out a hand to help Ariana get up. Ariana received a helping hand and then got up and folded her face. Mikael approached Sheila.
"Have you eaten?" asked Mikael to make Ariana can only sigh.
"I just got home from a photo shoot, so I haven't had time to eat."
"Then we eat together. Come on, you get off first." There was a flash of happiness in Sheila's eyes. The woman then invited Dita to go down the stairs but stopped her steps when she saw Mikael just standing up.
It turns out that the man was waiting for Ariana to come closer and walk while holding Ariana's hand.
They ended up sitting together at that round-shaped dining table. Ariana sits flanked by Dita and Mikael while Sheila sits next to Mikael.
Sheila observes how Ariana serves her ex-lover and Dita. Something he never did before.
Ariana put broccoli flakes with other vegetable mixes on Dita's plate.
"He doesn't like vegetables" Sheila said.
"I love Mom's food, it's delicious" Dita said, eating broccoli. Ariana smiled a little.
Sheila was stunned. The child called Ariana with the words Mother only and she was called Mother Sheila, there seemed to be a feeling of gratitude when the child's affection was given to another woman, a new person coming in Dita's life. Sheila could not take it. Wanting to feel she scolded Dita and said if she was her mother while the woman was nothing.
Mikael was like a bitch, focused on his food. Many times he asked Ariana for help to get a side dish, or a drink. Sheila was about to pick it up and Ariana's hand that was about to reach the spinach finally pulled back.
"Na, where's the vegetable?" mikael looked at his wife. Ariana looked at Sheila and the woman put back the vegetable spoon she had been holding.
Ariana then put the vegetable on Mikael's plate. Everyone knows that Mikael is the type of person who doesn't like to talk at meal times so they are more silent and don't want to open the conversation first.
The meal was over and Mikael invited everyone to sit in the living room while turning on the television.
"I'll wash the dishes." Ariana arranged the food on the table with Mbok Jum. Mikael who was holding Dita looked at her
"Let Mbok alone finish it," said Mikael holding Ariana's hand leaving Sheila alone. The woman stomped her feet on the floor in annoyance. It was as if he was being played by Mikael. However, it was okay that the important plan worked.
Mikael was sitting on the couch while Ariana was arguing with Dita about what movie they were going to play right now.
"I want a Frozen movie" Dita said.
"Ehm.. ," Dita looks objected.
"It's good.. Mom really likes this story. The story of the princess who is kind and not arrogant."
"Just like Dita" points Dita to yourself. Ariana nodded her head.
Sheila then sat down next to Mikael, the man then sat in the corner of another sofa.
"Okey, from yesterday you asked to see me, what for?" ask Mikael. Ariana's eyes widened and turned her gaze toward the two ex-lovers.
"I want to apologize and have regretted my mistake. I also want to be able to take care of Dita, with you." Sheila said without a tent-eye.
"Why do you want to do it, haven't you been leaving us all this time?"
Dada Ariana who heard it felt tight. Bad thoughts lingering in his brain made his eyes heat up. I want him to scream to throw this woman out. However, it cannot. He felt he had nothing to do with this.
"I love Dita. He is my son who I can't ignore. I love him with all my heart." Sheila's voice seemed to harden, making Dita turn her eyes to Father and her biological Mother.
"Hey, look at that garlic guy washing clothes in the river. You've seen people do that in the village, remember?" Ariana tries to distract Dita. She was upset why Mikael didn't talk about it in the closed room. She was afraid that Dita would see her parents quarrel.
"Smake your voice down or get out of this house right now!" mikael said firmly but softly and only heard the two of them.
Sheila who heard Mikael's expulsion swallowed her Saliva heavily. He stared blankly ahead at Dita who chose to sit on Ariana's lap instead of sitting nearby.
"alright. I can't lose Dita" Sheila said.
"Before you left him, too, so to get out of his life is not a hard thing for you."
"I'm really sorry about it. I'm sorry!"
"I've forgiven you for a long time but to forget everything that happened can't be that easy, Sheila."
"Give me a chance to prove myself if I change."
"How do you prove it?" Ariana was seen glancing when Mikael said that. She saw Sheila's hand about to grab her husband's hand. Ariana clenched an angry hand but was arrested. Mikael looked at Sheila.
"I want us to be together again, I don't care if I'm second."
