This afternoon, all the Gavin family are home again. This moment will be used by Raka to treat her curiosity about the incident at the hospital the other day.
Gavin and Bu Ratih again sat in the middle room, while Beautiful also did not miss joining Papa Mama.
"Son, why is your face pouting so much?" ask Mrs Ratih.
"Cappies, Ma. Tasks on campus are so many." replied Raka while leaning her back on the chair.
"Eh, can't complain, that is. Student work is that, son. Moreover, you are nearing the end of the semester." replied Mrs Ratih while stroking her son's hair.
"Yes, Brother. Do you know what Miss Beautiful Lecturer said." said Gavin while his eyes remained focused on his phone.
"Hmmm, Papa must do it." replied Mrs Ratih.
"Oh yeah, Pa. Raka wants to ask. There was actually any connection between Papa and Gazi's mother." Raka's question now left both Ratih and Gavin shocked.
"That's, Brother?" ask Gavin to pretend he doesn't understand.
"Yes at the hospital the other day. Raka was still curious. How Gazi's father said that. Like Papa was both insinuating to each other. Raka actually wanted to ask this from yesterday, but was afraid the situation was not right" said Raka while looking at Gavin and Bu Ratih.
Gavin and Bu Ratih looked at each other. They may also be confused as to what to say. But, actually they had discussed this last night at any time Raka asked this.
"Sister. Mama and Papa could have explained the same to you. But, you promised Papa and Mama that after listening to this story should not be angry. Both Papa and Auntie Kasih" said Mrs Ratih slowly.
"Why should Raka be angry, Ma?" raka asked confused.
"Yes it is possible that after you listen to this explanation, you will blame one of the parties, that is." replied Mrs Ratih.
"If indeed the problem is not making it up and the reason can be accepted with common sense may not be angry. Why get angry, Ma.!" answer Raka.
"Pa, Mama's the story or Papa's own the story?" ask Mrs Ratih.
"Your own mother told me."
Madam Ratih then nodded slowly with a smile. "All right, Mama will tell me."
"What story do you really want, anyway?" sahut Beautiful.
"Ssttts,! shut up, Dek. Mama wants to talk." said Raka while closing her lips with a finger.
"Maybe it's time for you to know all the truth. That auntie was once your Papa's second wife. Then they got divorced. But, before the divorce turned out Auntie Kasih was pregnant and the child was Gazi." said Mrs Ratih.
Raka and Beautiful looked at each other. They did not expect that Gazi who had been Raka's friend was their brother.
"Cock second wife? Then, why Papa and Auntie Love divorced." asked Raka.
Bu Ratih let out a long sigh, then he continued his sentence. "Yes, because Papa's First Wife is Mama."
"Why do you want Papa to get married again.?" now the youngest Beautiful is wrenching.
"Mama told Papa to get married again" replied Mrs Ratih with a smile.
"Now, Ma. Most wives are angry that their husbands marry again. But, this is Mama even asked to marry again." said Raka.
"Sister, Mama did it for a reason." replied Mrs Ratih.
"What's the matter, Ma?" now Beautiful follow the question.
"Yes that's the story, son." said Mrs Ratih as she looked at her two children.
Raka and Beautiful who saw her Mama like that they immediately embraced Mama warmly. Their cries finally broke. The hand of Mrs Ratih hugged her two children. The left one hugged Beautiful, while the right hand she hugged Raka.
Gavin sees his wife and children like that. He then embraces from the front, and now the four of them hug each other and tear up.
Mrs Ratih unceasingly kissed the forehead of her two children. She loved her two children even though they were not born from her womb. And vice versa, Raka and Beautiful took turns to kiss her Mama's cheek. After that, they also did not forget to kiss her mother's hand.
"Already, Mama knows, you love Mama so much. So is Mama, very dear to both of you." said Mrs Ratih while staring alternately at Raka and Beautiful.
"Ma, even though Mama did not give birth to both of us, but for us it was still the best Mama" said Raka.
"Yes, Ma. Beautiful too. Although beautiful foster child, Mama. Beautiful is not angry and disappointed. Because of the love Mama and Papa who have been giving to Beautiful is enough and like a Beautiful biological parent." said Beautiful.
"Thank you, son. You are both the most precious treasure for Mama." replied Mrs Ratih as she touched the cheeks of her two children.
"Oh yes, Brother. However, you still have to respect the Mother of Love. Gazi is your brother." said Gavin.
"Yes, Pa. Hence since the first time I met Gazi, Raka Kayak seemed to be close. Is it possible because of our blood relationship, huh?" answer Raka.
"Yes, maybe also my son." replied Mrs Ratih.
"Ma, where is Beautiful Mom now, huh?" suddenly tanyanya.
"Mama doesn't know either, son. Do you want to meet?" ask Bu Ratih back.
"No, Ma. I don't know where it is now." she replied.
"Now Mama asked once again to you. Do you still love as much as before even though now you know the truth?" ask Mrs Ratih.
"Yes stay dong, Ma. Beautiful Mama's son. If not dear, then Beautiful as anyone" replied Beautiful while hugging Madam Ratih.
"Raka too, Ma. Kan from a small mother who takes care of Raka. Now you do not have to have a thought that we will not love, just the opposite, Ma. We both grew more affectionate with Mama." now Raka came to give her answer.
"Well then, how about now Mama masakin capcay and your favorite flour shrimp?" exclaim Bu Ratih excited.
"Yes, Ma." said Raka.
"Pretty agreed, we had dinner that night" he said.
"Papa agrees too. We can't be drawn into grief. We have to look ahead with passion and a smile" Gavin said.
"All right, come on Beautiful. My son helped my mother in the kitchen. Let later when you are an adult and married, can cook for the husband." said Mrs Ratih.
"Ish, Mama. I thought it was far away. It's still a long time, Ma." replied Beautiful while bending her face.
Gavin saw such a scene instantly smiling and happy.
"I'm proud of you, baby. It can make both kids feel comfortable and happy. It's all the fruit of your sincerity and patience in taking care of the children. Thank you for being a wife and mother to me and my children" Gavin said.
