He walked to his mother's office. He paused for a moment in front of the door, then knocked on the door a little hard.
"Lake in." His mother's firm voice made him sigh heavily.
All this time, she actually admired her mother a lot. Women who are so tough and can run the company very well. He deliberately misbehaves and goes against his mother's orders, only to get a little attention from her. What she had experienced since childhood, was treated unfairly by her mother. Feeling exiled in his own family, has caused a sense of hatred in him.
After his father died, his mother tried to pay with love and affection, but Galang was already hurt. His meeting with Shella, made Galang realize, that his attitude all along, is not worse than his mother's attitude first.
Galang opened the door slowly and greeted his mother's sweet smile. Galang is still hesitant about what he will do at this time.
"Galange, in. Sit down," greet his mother kindly.
Galang stepped in and he was very happy to see his mother welcome. There is no pretense that Galang always accuses all this time, to his mother.
"What's up, honey? Tumben you came to Mami's office?" asked Madam Mila while looking gently at Galang.
"Mommy, Galang would like to apologize. All this time, Galang has troubled all of you, especially Mami," said Galang hesitated.
"Galang, Mami should be apologizing to you. You became like this because of Mami's attitude. Mami was happy enough, when Mami found out, you were going to college again. Although not because of Mami," said Madam sad. "How's Shella doing?"
"Mommy, Galang wants to ask Mami for help," said Galang expectantly.
"What help, say. Whatever you want, Mami will surely fulfill. Would you like to ask for your blessing for your relationship with Shella?" ask Miss Mila curious.
"Mommy already knows about my relationship with Shella?" ask Galang surprised.
"I'm sorry, it's not Mami's intent to spy on you. Mami just wanted to make sure that Mami's son was okay after you left the police station" Ms Mila said.
Galang. But he would no longer be angry at his mother just because of this. Wasn't his mother's attention what he expected? Maybe it was one of her mother's forms of affection.
"Mommy agrees. Shella's a good girl. Moreover, Mami knows, she is the only woman who can change the direction of your life. But why are you still unhappy?" ask Miss Mila confused.
"His parents disagree with our relationship. Especially his father, he prefers if Shella with Rafael," Galang replied.
"Who's Rafael?" ask Miss Mila.
Galang began to tell me about who Rafael was. Everything he knows, he explains it all. Madam Mila listened to Galang's outpouring of heart for the first time. Madam Mila was almost moved and tried to hold back the tears that began to pool in her eyes.
After telling everything, Galang's heart was relieved. The first time in his life, he felt how much his mother was watching him. Or maybe all this time he who has not been able to open his heart to see the affection of his mother?
"Mommy knows who Rafael is. He's your brother's business partner, Hasan and Husein. He is still quite young, but he has a fairly mature attitude and his business is advancing rapidly. You could say, he was a conglomerate at a young age. But, you also should not give up easily, even though your rival he. Mami sure, Shella never saw people from her property," said Ms Mila trying to give encouragement to Galang.
"Mommy, I trust Shella. But I also want to show him that I can be the one he can rely on. I want to be a responsible man. Mami, Galang wants to study abroad," said Galang surprised Miss Mila.
"To abroad? Really, then what about Shella?" ask Miss Mila confused.
He was silent at his mother's question. She did not tell Shella of her decision.
"Witch, never repeat the mistake your father made. Every problem you have to talk about and take the best course. You know, Mami and Daddy you were separated because your Daddy made the decision without Mami's knowledge. Galang, Mami hope, the mistake will never happen to the children of Mami," advised Miss Mila.
He began to think hard. He understood why his mother and father could not be together anymore. There is no honesty and lack of communication.
"Mommy, Galang promised to talk to Shella and ask her permission. Hopefully he is willing to wait for me," said Galang steady.
"Galange, may all that you dream of be true" muttered Madam Mila.
