Loved Brondong

Erna's haughty attitude

...***...

Yasmin didn't mean to be arrogant. He was not given a chance to say who he was. Yasmin felt she had to be humble in order to win the heart of her future father-in-law. However, Erna seemed to be able to tell right away as she took out her pen. Yasmin had already thought of saying it subtly. But once he saw Erna's attitude, he would be very difficult to convey his point.

"I'm just a regular woman, Auntie. There is nothing special about me" Yasmin replied in her usual manner.

"Ordinary women can wear such expensive items. Where did you get it from?" Erna started investigating. He must have thought that Yasmin had known the upper class.

Eza, confused by the direction of his mother's conversation, approached Yasmin and whispered. "What did mama mean?"

"It's nothing, Sky," Yasmin replied in a whisper.

"Eza, do you know this woman carelessly, without knowing her background?" Erna looked very angry. In his mind, if not being the mistress of a rich man, how did he get that thing. "Eza ask yourself who he really is? Did he say he was once a rich man's mistress?"

"What does Mama mean? Eza knows Yasmin well, she's a good woman. Just because pens are expensive why did you think that way?" Eza can guess the way his mother thought. Precisely now he was disappointed by Erna's careless speech.

"Langit, don't fight with your mama." Yasmin reminded.

Adhitama did the same. Restraining his wife to keep the word more. Yasmin could explain in a fine way if asked nicely too.

"Yasmin, forgive your wife Om. You don't go into the heart." Erna's attitude this time is very outrageous, do not know clearly have accused the non-no. Kasian Yasmin had to face his wife's harsh attitude at their first meeting.

"Yes, it's okay, Om." Yasmin still showed her friendly smile.

Adhitama can already judge from the way Yasmin behaves. In his eyes, Yasmin was not what his wife had accused him of. Then Adhitama spoke to his wife. “Ma, we invited Yasmin here, because our son also. We as parents should apologize for Eza's impregnating her. It's not right to be rude like that. This wedding talk won't be finished like this.”

“Alah, it is also because he who itches wants to approach the young leaves. Eza is not yet an adult, has not been able to judge which one is worthy of him, so tempted by the seduction of this woman!” Erna was still with her haughty attitude.

Eza started to get hooked. “Ma! Yasmin is not wrong in this. Eza's chasing him first. Eza is old enough to choose what is good. Mama can't throw all the blame on Yasmin.”

“Eza! It's getting sassy for you!”

“Erna, enough!” Hardikan Adhitama immediately made people speechless.

I don't know when her mother started to change like this. The figure of the mother he knew was indeed very harsh. Eza greatly admired his mother who could educate him well. Eza can mature like this too because of his mother. But insulting others like this was the first time he had seen it. What influence had Erna gained so that her overbearing attitude was overblown now.

Eza is already uncomfortable with the way Erna underestimates her hobby and her papa's work as an artist. Honestly, she was furious when her mother told her that the artist had no future. But Eza still keeps his respect for Erna. However, now he could not accept the words of Erna who had hurt someone's heart.

A long sigh could be heard from Eza's mouth. Yasmin looked at her lover's face. He knew Eza didn't mean to oppose Erna. All because Eza loved him so much, Yasmin was so grateful for the defense that the man had done. On the other hand, he felt sorry for Eza who had to go through something like this.

“Ma, if mama changes her mind after meeting Yasmin, Eza doesn't matter. Eza will still marry Yasmin, with or without the blessing of Mama.”

“It's up to you, if you insist. Mama will no longer care about the woman's unclear origin. Want her a lowly woman or a rich man's mistress. If you want to get married, just get married. Don't bother mama about anything.”

“Senja, we'd better just go. Mama I won't soften her heart anytime soon. We'll stay married, trust me.” Eza pulled Yasmin's hand to stand up.

“Sky, wait. Let me say something first.” Eza's hand was arrested. Smiling for approval.

“You okay?”

“I'm fine, Sky.”

“Ya already, just talk. After that we go.” Eza's approval was answered by Yasmin's nod.

Yasmin then turned her eyes to Eza's parents. Aditama looks a little depressed. Erna turned her face away from him. “Om, Aunt. I thank you for being welcomed today. Although we did not get the blessing, but Eza will still marry me. Because this child could not have been born without a father figure. About my background, from the beginning I have wanted to tell. But I can't get a chance to say it.”

“Sorry for your inconvenience today, Yasmin. Om bless your relationship, hopefully you can make Eza better. I believe you can guide Eza. Moreover, you can be a role model as well."

"Yes, it's okay, Om. I understand if Aunt has not been able to accept my existence."

"Udah, don't say much. Just tell me who you are, don't waste your time!" Erna was getting impatient.

Yasmin's hand was again held by Eza, asking the lover to patiently face his mother. The woman beckoned with her eyes. He said, fine with the look in his eyes.

A Yasmin who used to get along with the upper class, can very well control emotions. He did look simple from a long time ago, not even living in a luxurious house. But there are a lot of relationships with important people.

"It looks like Eza hasn't introduced my long name yet. I'm Yasmin Mahesa, Jakarta medical scholar, heart surgeon. I have completed S2 with a Master of Medical Education (M.Pd.Ked) and …."

"Wait, what's your long name?"

The two men there were surprised by the reaction Erna showed. Those who rarely want to care about important people articles. I don't know who Yasmin really is. However, Erna is different, she follows every news from the magazine.

"Yasmin Mahesa, Aunt."

Erna recalled an article she had read a few months ago. Then his hand slipped down the table that was a pile of old magazines. Then open one piece after another. He remembers his last name Yasmin.

"It's you?" Erna showed me an article with a picture of Yasmin. His reaction was like one of unbelievers.

Eza and Adhitama seemed surprised, what Erna fussed about with the article. Eza took a closer look at the article. So is Adhitama.

"Senja, is this you?"
