Love for Losing Memory

Start Thawing

Almost a week ago, Arisa stayed at Handoko's house since Della's return from the hospital. That means Andika is forced to endure the longing for her wife in the midst of her loneliness of living alone in an apartment. It was a very unpleasant situation for him.

Meanwhile, Arisa has been eager to reveal the truth about the status of her who has become Andika's wife to her mother, but she does not know where to start.

Right now, Arisa is sitting pensively in the garden behind the house, thinking about many things in her life. It just so happened that today was a weekend, so he didn't go to work. Actually Della slightly objected to seeing Arisa who had to work in the company of others. Della wants Arisa to help her papa in the company.

"She!" greet Della from behind as she walked up to her daughter. She has also become accustomed to calling her daughter Arisa, at Arisa's own request, who feels more comfortable being called Arisa than Erika.

Enough had it been, for some time she had been called as Erina, now that she had to be summoned with Erika, she felt unfamiliar.

"What are you thinking, son? From the moment you saw, you were daydreaming." asked Della.

"No, Ma. I was just thinking about the unfinished work in the office yesterday." Arisa said.

"Here you go, it's your time off. Don't think about work anymore, or what if you'd better just resign from your current job, then help your dad take care of his company?" della wants to persuade Arisa again.

"No, Ma. I like my current job." replied Arisa earnestly, actually there is a part that he does not like as well, where Alex is still aggressively approaching him. He should stop according to his mother's advice. After all, Andika had also told him to stop working. It seemed, Arisa would consider that.

" Sir.."

"Yes, baby." replied Della.

"There's something I want to talk to Mama about" Arisa said. He thought it might be the right time to tell his mother the truth.

"What's wrong? Just say!"

"Look.about Andika.."

"What's? Andika's? Don't you talk about her name in front of Mama, Arisa. Mama doesn't like." Just hearing Andika's name, Della has started to get emotional.

"But, Ma. It's a very important thing, and Mama should know that." continued Arisa.

"What do you mean, Arisa?"

"Me and Andika, we're already married, Ma." Arisa finally dared herself to say that.

"What?" della asked in a rather high tone. She looked quite shocked hearing Arisa's words just now.

"What did you mean, Arisa? No...no, you must be lying to Mama." said Della did not want to believe what Arisa said earlier.

"Yes Ma, Arisa doesn't tell lies. He and Andika are married." said Handoko who also suddenly appeared from behind and joined sitting with them.

"What, Pah? No Pah, I can't take that. I don't want Andika to be our daughter-in-law after what she's done to make Erina die." said Della.

"But, how could this happen? Didn't all this time, Andika and Arisa never know each other, Andika is Erina's fiance. So how does Arisa get married to him?" della asked for an explanation for all of this.

"It's a long story, Ma. We may have married not on the basis of Ma's love, but now we love each other, Ma. I beg Ma, our blessing!" arisa said she hoped that her mother's heart would melt and bless her marriage with Andika.

Finally, Arisa told him everything from the beginning of the accident that befell Dina, the woman she had always considered as a biological mother, to her, which then forced her to accept Anita's offer of help with a marriage agreement with Andika. But who would have thought, if finally they both really became in love with each other as they are today.

Listening to Arisa's long story, finally Della's heart gradually began to melt.

"All right, then..If you love each other, call Andika here. Mama wants to talk to him!" said Della gives a little hope for Arisa will blessing her mother to their marriage relationship.

Immediately Arisa contacted her husband, so that she could come to Handoko's house immediately. Andika who received news from Arisa, of course very happy, and immediately get ready to go to her in-laws' house.

It didn't take long for Andika to get to Handoko's house, as she drove her car quite fast. Thankfully, the streets were not so jammed at the time.

As she enters Handoko's house, a servant leads her to the back garden where Arisa and her mother are sitting together. Handoko is nowhere to be seen, having already returned to his study to complete a bit of his pending work during his wife's hospitalization some time ago.

"Mas!" calling Arisa with her sweet smile makes Andika want it to feel directly hug and hold her tightly, if only her mother-in-law was not there. Andika really misses his wife very much.

"Mama wants to talk alone with Andika, baby."

Arisa understood what her mother meant, she immediately walked into the house leaving her mother to talk alone with her husband.

"Sit down!" said Della flat without a friendly expression made Andika become a little awkward.

"Before I have approved of your marriage, I want to make sure that you truly love my daughter and will never hurt her. Enough of you to hurt Erina, even to the point of making her die." said Della began to sob because she remembered her daughter.

"I'm sorry, about Erina, I knew it was really my fault and I realized, there's no way I could make up for my huge mistake."

"You can make up for it by really making Arisa happy. I'm giving you one chance. Make the right use of it, don't waste this opportunity. Just once, you hurt Arisa, I will not hesitate to ask Arisa to divorce from you. Catch that!" della said firmly.

"Good, Mom..!

"You can call me Mama like Arisa called me. After all you are my son-in-law, even though my heart has not been one hundred percent receptive to this."

"Okay, Ma." answered Andika. In her heart, she promised not to waste the opportunity her mother-in-law had given her. She really loves Arisa, and she can't imagine what it would be like if she had to part with Arisa.

After the four-eyed talk was over, they enjoyed lunch together. That afternoon, Della allows Arisa to go home with Andika. Arisa was very happy, she promised that she would often come to visit her parents. Now her happiness feels almost complete, she has a husband who loves her very much, a chatty but very loving mother and now she chooses a pair of parents who are still complete. Arisa is so grateful for all that.
